导语:《谁动了我的奶酪?》是由全球最受欢迎的作家之一斯宾塞·约翰逊所作的寓言故事,充满了人生中有关变化寓意深长的真理。主要描述了四个住在“迷宫”里的人物竭尽所能寻找滋养他们身心,使他们快乐的“奶酪”的过程。
Who moved my cheese?(excerpt)
If You Do Not Change, You Can Become Extinct
Then, Haw stuck his head out and peered anxiously into the Maze. He thought about how he'd gotten himself into this cheeseless situation.
He had believed that there may not be any Cheese in the Maze, or he may not find it. Such fearful beliefs were immobilizing and killing him.
Haw smiled. He knew Hem was wondering,“Who moved my cheese?” but Haw was wondering,“Why didn't I get up and move with the Cheese sooner?”
As he started out into the Maze, Haw looked back to where he had come from and felt its comfort. He could feel himself being drawn back into familiar territory-even though he hadn't found Cheese there for some time.
Haw became more anxious and wondered if he really wanted to go out into the Maze. He wrote a saying on the wall ahead of him and stared at it for some time:
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
He thought about it.
He knew that, sometimes, some fear can be good. When you are afraid things are going to get worse if you don't do something, it can prompt you into action. But it is not good when you are so afraid that it keeps you from doing anything.
He looked to his right, to the part of the Maze where he had never been, and felt the fear.
Then, he took a deep breath, turned right into the Maze,and jogged slowly into the unknown.
As he tried to find his way, Haw worried, at first, that he might have waited too long in Cheese Station C. He hadn't had any Cheese for so long that he was now weak. It took him longer and it was more painful than usual to get through the Maze.
《谁动了我的奶酪?》(节选)
如果你不改变,你就会被淘汰
在墙上留完言后,唧唧伸出脑袋小心翼翼地朝迷宫中望了望,回想着到达奶酪C站以前所走过的路线。
他曾经想过,也许迷宫中再也没有奶酪了,或者,他可能永远找不到奶酪。这种悲观的情绪曾经那样深地根植于他的心底,以至于差一点就毁了他。
想到这里,唧唧会心地微笑起来。他知道,哼哼现在一定还在原地懊恼:“究竟是谁动了我的奶酪?”而唧唧此刻想的却是:“我为什么没有早点行动起来,跟着奶酪移动呢?”
当唧唧终于走出奶酪C站踏入黑暗的迷宫时,他忍不住回头看了看这个曾经伴随他和哼哼很长一段时间的地方。那一瞬间他几乎无法控制自己,又想走回那个熟悉的地方,又想躲进那个虽已没有奶酪但很安全的地方。
唧唧又有些担心自己,拿不准自己是否真的想要进入迷宫中去。片刻以后,他又拿起石块在面前的墙上写下一句话,盯着它看了许久:
如果你无所畏惧,你会怎样呢?
他对着这句话苦思冥想。
他知道,有时候,有所畏惧是有好处的。当你害怕不做某些事情会使事情变得越来越糟糕时,恐惧心反而会激起你去采取行动,但是,如果你因为过分害怕而不敢采取任何行动时,恐惧心就会变成前进道路上最大的障碍。
他朝迷宫的右侧瞧了瞧,心中生出了恐惧,因为他从未到过那里面。
然后,他深吸了一口气,朝迷宫的右侧缓步跑去,跑向那片未知的领地。
在探路的时候,唧唧有些担心起来,一开始他还在奶酪C站犹豫了那么久,因为很长时间没有吃到奶酪了,他有些虚弱。现在,在迷宫中穿行要比以前更加吃力,花的时间更长。
[词句积累]
1.peer into窥视
2.territory/ˈterətri/ n.领土,领地,地盘
3.prompt/prɒmpt/vt.提示,促进,激起
4.He decided that if he ever got the chance again,he would get out of his comfort zone and adapt to change sooner.
分析:本句是一个复合句。句中that引导宾语从句。宾语从句的主句是he would get out of his comfort zone and adapt to change sooner。if he ever got the chance again在宾语从句中作条件状语。

参考范文: Dear_Tom ,
You_wrote_in_your_letter_that_you_wanted_to_rent_an_apartment_in_our_city. Recently I happened to find an 80squaremeter flat that might be suitable for you.
Located at the crossing of Minzu South Street and Xiuye Road, Seasonal Garden is the best community I would like to recommend to you. With a supermarket next to the community, there is a central hospital, Changqingteng High School as well as a bank standing across the street. I figure these life facilities are bound to make your stay convenient and comfortable. Besides, public transportation is also within your easy reach.What's more, behind the community is a beautiful park, where you can go and have a good relaxation after a day's work.
Are you satisfied with it?If so,I will arrange it for you.
Yours ,
Li_Hua
