No. 280（2021-05-25） 争分夺秒疾驰看路 有惊无险皮破肉露
一早在校园依然先看到Jenny同学，宿舍地板干净、内务整齐。餐厅售饭窗口各式早点花样丰富，班级同学整齐划一在用早餐，不仅吃得好，而且吃得饱。教室内个个精力充沛，值日的Joanna、Gracie同学将地清扫得十分彻底；Anna同学将长廊阳台及保护杆擦得明亮干净；Nadim和Daniel两位同学去倒垃圾；Tom和George两位同学在卫生间洗拖把。屏幕上显示的是以前同学们早已牢记在心的话语：When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, harasses him by troubles and setbacks so as to stimulate his soul, toughen his nature and enhance his abilities. 故天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为，所以动心忍性，曾益其所不能。再次提醒，加以巩固的同时，也是给每一位整天起早贪黑、刻苦用功、勤奋学习的同学一点内心的鼓励和安慰。教室内书声朗朗，年级巡视的任涛主任深感满意，要求继续保持。
今天第一节英语课，提供的主题句：Victory belongs to those who believe in it the most and believe in it the longest.胜利属于那些意志坚强、持之以恒的人。接着让同学们对早读课上刚刚读完的课文进行段落划分及大意归纳：Shirley同学Part I（Para. 1）: Seeing the Musée d'Orsay was what I was looking forward to most about my trip to Paris. Helen同学: Part II ( Paras. 2-4): I was impressed by two of the greatest Impressionist painters Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir the most. Park同学：Part III（Paras. 5-6）: Impressionist painters shared some similarities in terms of their subject matter and painting techniques, and influenced future painters and modern art.随后每人一句课文翻译及句型解读，同学们各显神通。目标巴黎大学的Bryant同学作为个狂热的艺术迷，非常清楚自己此次巴黎之旅最期待就是参观奥赛博物馆，而且将其简单理解为：As a huge fan, I was looking forward to visiting the museum about my trip to Paris.擅长乐器演奏的Bryant同学对句子的理解十分到位：这家世界闻名的艺术博物馆设在一座古老的铁路建筑里，以19世纪印象派运动时期些最著名的画作为特色，同时还有着自己的独特解读：The world-famous art museum is housed in an old railway building and features some of the most famous paintings from the Impressionist movement of the 19th century. 对历史有着特殊记忆能力的George同学，翻译水平也给人带来美感：漫步于印象派展馆，我欣赏着像《舞蹈课》和《无纸牌者》这样的杰作。尽管我在电脑屏幕上已经欣赏过数百次，但当我终于亲眼见到实物时，还是觉得猝不及防，惊叹不已。再用英语表达出来，感到轻而易举：As I wandered through the Impressionist gallery, I appreciated masterpieces like The Ballet Class and The Card Players. Even though I had admired them hundreds of times on my computer screen, nothing could have prepared me for the wonder I felt when I finally laid eyes on the real thing.对本民族文化有着深厚感情的Daniel同学虽然从这么多令人称奇的作品中很难选出一幅最喜欢的，但两位伟大 的印象派画家给我留下了最深的印象。感觉用自己的表达方式更为简单：Although it is difficult to pick a favorite one among so many amazing paintings, two of the greatest Impressionists made the deepest impression on me.有着独立见解的Wendy同学从莫奈的作品中看出他深受大自然的启发。在他生命的最后三十年里，他画的大多是自家花园里的风景，其中一处风景就展现在他著名的《蓝睡莲》里，并在展馆里端详了好一阵子。当听说同一个睡莲池他画了大约250幅画，每一幅颜色和风格都各异时，简直难以置信。令人赞叹的是，莫奈每次端详睡莲池这处简单的风景，都以独特的方式让它的美跃然于画布之上。然后用自己的话简单作了复述：We can see Monet was inspired by nature from his works. In the last thirty years of his life, he painted mostly scenes from his garden, one of which was shown in his famous painting "Blue Water Lilies" I studied for a long time in the gallery. I couldn't believe it when I heard that he had painted about 250 pictures of the same water lily pond, each in a different color and style. It is amazing that every time Monet studied this simple scene, the beauty of the water lily pond appeared on the canvas in a unique way.情感丰富的Jenny同学注意到，雷诺阿更喜欢描绘日常生活场景。他最有趣的画作是他1876年的杰作《煎饼磨坊的舞会》，这幅画展现了某个周日下午巴黎业处热闹街区的生活。近距离观赏，画面上遍布着小面积的光斑，人物柔和的轮廓似乎融为一体，令我大为震撼。画上呈现的内容如此丰富，但清晰的细节又如此之少。这种效果使得舞蹈动作活灵活现，引人注目。然后用自己的话复述到：Renoir preferred to describe scenes of daily life. The most interesting painting is his 1876 masterpiece, which shows life in a busy neighborhood of Paris on a Sunday afternoon. When I saw it up close, I was struck by the small areas of light across the painting, and the way the soft edges of the figures seemed to mix together. There is so much going on, but so little clear detail. This effect makes the lively dance movement vivid and eye-catching.能发一口标准流利伦敦腔的Frances同学：尽管这两幅画的背景截然不同，但在我离开奥赛博物馆后很长一段时间里，一直萦绕着我的却是它们的相似之处，这种相似之处在印象派的画作中随处可见。莫奈和雷诺阿，以及其他志趣相投的艺术家，都力求从之前风格的束缚中挣脱出来。印象派的作品主要关注日常主题，这与传统上欧洲艺术界占主流的历史题材画作大相径庭。他们运用自由的笔法，使用色彩来表现光线投射在物体上的效果，创作的画远不如前人之作那么写实。在我看来，这些技巧是印象派艺术观的精髓。印象派画家试图描绘的并非某个场景的所有细节，而是他们当时产生的瞬间“印象”，在它消失之前，迸发着鲜明的光彩。然后用自己的话描述出来更加精彩：Despite the backgrounds of the two paintings, their similarities stayed with me. Monet and Renoir, as well as other like-minded artists, sought to break free from the rules of the old style. Impressionist works mainly focused on everyday subject matter, the history paintings had traditionally dominated the European art. They used free brushwork and colors to show the effects of light on things, creating paintings that were far less realistic than the works that came before. These techniques are the essence of the impressionist view of art.The Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a scene, but the "impression" they had at the moment, bursting with vivid colors and light, before it disappeared.聪明睿智的Emily同学：印象派的远见卓识启发了新一代的后印象派画家，如文森特·凡·高和保罗·高更，奥赛博物馆有展出他们的作品。值得注意的是，后印象派画家并不是唯一受印象派影响的群体，这场运动还对现代艺术产生了持久的影响，鼓励着艺术家们从一个全新的视角去看待世界。当然，这也给我留下了难忘的印象!接着让Jack同学将该段重点部分复述了一下：It is also worthy to note that Post-Impressionist painters were not the only ones to be influenced by Impressionism -- the movement has had a lasting influence on modern art, which encourages artists to look at the world from an entirely new point of view.期间看到教学部王丽爱主任过来巡课，好在班级同学个个精神抖擞，坐姿端正。
大课间跑操过后，带同学们拍了张合影，第五节体育课，足球模块在民族部尹海生主任的训练下，Stephen、Alice、Carl、Jack、Emily等同学练得非常认真，并逐个带球闯关。篮球场上Mark、Park、George、William、Albert、John和13班几位同学轮番上场打得热火朝天；乒乓球馆内在宋伦忠老师的指导下，Gracie、David、Betty、Daniel、Nancy、Dorothy、Joan na几位同学的水平已经相当不错；练习健美操的Cathy、Frances、Laurel几位同学在互相探讨如何提高；Anna和Cynthia两位同学身体不适呆在教室；Amanda同学一人在排练舞蹈。当然也不乏树荫下看书的同学。午餐后的午练，直到同学们13点开始午睡的时候，我也想回去休息一会，怎奈骑着电瓶车还没出校门，刚向右一转，就见前面开来一辆红车，我急忙刹车转向，结果由于刹车太急，又只右手用力，结果远远在红车前面自己先放倒，也不知道怎么把脚缠在了里面，车又压在了身上，经过一番痛苦的挣扎，总算爬了起来。带着浑身的疼痛回到家，发现胳臂和腿部多处皮都被擦破，把破的地方上了些碘伏，本想能躺下睡一会，可脚腕及膝盖部分疼得也难以入睡。一看又到了上班的时间，赶忙小心穿上衣服，忍着剧痛回到学校，下午第一节信息课，担心同学们睡过头，发现只有13班一位同学还趴在那里，我们班已空无一人，接着我又赶到四楼机房，Jack、Albert、Simon三位同学单独坐在这边，有些不在老师的视线，其他同学都在对着屏幕认真聆听老师的讲解。Anna同学边听还边看书，分秒必争。然后回来转到科研部领回《厚生报》，又到学校医务室对伤口进行了一番清理。再转到高二找到孙浩主任爬到六楼为Amanda同学借了一身演出服。见蒋捍校长也在巡课。第二节是音乐课，又去音乐教室看同学们的上课情况，发现都在认真观看柴老师*放播**的我校合唱团外出比赛的画面，Jenny同学赶忙给我拉出一张椅子让我坐下，同学看得津津有味，要是我们这次经典诵读的录像能选上，说不上也能有外出比赛的机会。随后的听力训练，同学们陆续到齐，见一陌生学生过来通知到高一报告厅开会，教学部王丽爱主任培训学生综合素质评价填写要求，明天下午各班到行政楼底领取。认真填写，然后拍照上传。第四节自习课选科提交，有的同学还在不停地修改。还有填写好的助学金表单上也要签字。Emily和Anna两位同学参加唱红歌比赛；回来又下曲目又拷U盘，看来进入决赛已不成问题。晚餐有些同学依然呆在教室不动，用过餐的同学已陆续到来，新闻联播后，Albert同学说双眼睁不开，想回宿舍休息，和他长谈了一会，就坐在我身后，将整篇课文梳理了一遍，并将其背诵了下来。绝对属于高智商人才。期间年级任涛主任多次过来巡视，要求值班主任进班查看。我站在长廊内找来几位自律性强，学习勤奋用功，平时很少关心的几位同学交流了一下，问及是否感到劳累，注意劳逸结合，要常和家人联系，汇报自己在校情况，学习方面做好预习，听课若有问题要及时问老师等。待同学们都已回去，我还得继续完成今天的任务，时间不觉已是23：23，明天是Linda同学的生日，这已经是班级第31位过生日的同学了。再晚也还是要写上几句祝福的话语：赵小欧同学（LINDA）生日快乐
