那一年，第二次世界大战的战火在熊熊燃烧。全世界都在流血，在遭难，在呻吟，在挣扎。
1941年的12月，滴水成冰的季节。美国首都华盛顿的街头，到处是厚厚的积雪，快到圣诞节了，可人们都在匆匆忙忙地赶路。
夜已很深了，美国原子弹之父罗伯特·奥本海默一个人在空落落的街上踟蹰，他不知要到哪里去，也不知道该去干什么。他真不知道该如何面对罗斯福总统。为了向罗斯福总统讲明什么是原子弹，什么是原子，什么是原子核，什么是核裂变，他真的已经黔驴技穷了。这位伟大的总统在核物理方面的知识为零。
他无法让总统明白，一颗原子弹怎么会有那样不可思议的杀伤力，一颗原子弹怎么会有几万吨TNT炸药的威力，一颗原子弹又怎么能毁灭一座城市，又怎么能一下子杀死几十万人。而这一切又都不是科学幻想，战争不容幻想。
他无法让总统明白什么叫冲击波，什么叫光辐射，为什么原子弹的爆炸会带来核污染，核污染能存在多少年。他无法让总统弄明白，为什么原子弹的爆炸能形成几万、几十万摄氏度的高温，那温度已达到了让玉石俱焚、毁灭一切的太阳内部的温度。
总统莫名其妙的神情已表明不胜其烦，而且疲惫不堪。不要说总统，他也讲得口干舌燥、疲惫不堪了。他整整讲了4个小时，总统显然什么都没听明白，想要总统为他的曼哈顿计划拿出钱来，而且是百亿美元的巨款，绝无可能。对于1941年战时的美国，多少钱都不够花。
经过了几年的努力，罗伯特·奥本海默已经拥有了一切，全世界一流的科学家包括爱因斯坦，都在他的麾下。能搜罗到的，他都已经悉数收入囊中。研制出可供实战使用的原子弹，所有的技术问题都已解决，实验室阶段已经结束。
可要开发并制造出能投入战争中去，决定战争进程甚至战争胜负的原子弹，还差得很远很远。他急需百亿美元庞大的经费和至少10万人的投入，这一切，没有总统的支持是不可能的。
如果拿不到这笔钱，他将功亏一篑，到最后一米处倒下，他所有的心血都将付诸东流，他将无颜面对这个世界。
他还有一个机会，也许这是最后一个机会。明天早上，他将与总统共进早餐。他必须用最浅显易懂的语言，也许只能讲3分钟，让总统明白为什么要研制原子弹，进而支持他的计划。
天渐渐亮了，启明星在天边熄灭，就在昼夜转换的这一刻，突然，一个想法从他的心头掠过，也许这便是被人们称作灵感的东西，他一阵窃喜，有救了。
在与罗斯福总统共进早餐时，奥本海默给他讲了一个故事。
1804年12月，拿破仑加冕为法兰西皇帝，史称拿破仑一世，他缔造了法兰西第一帝国，并以其赫赫战功，粉碎了5次反法联盟，成为欧洲大陆霸主，其控制地域从比利牛斯山延伸到涅曼河，从北海延伸到亚得里亚海。
不可一世的拿破仑，在战场上所向披靡。
可就是这样一位在世界战争史上罕见的天才和悍将，却在海上屡战屡败。法国的海军被英国海军打得丢盔卸甲，浮尸满海，如枯枝败叶，惨不忍睹。就在拿破仑在海战中几乎输得精光，一筹莫展的时候，幸运之神来了。
一位工程师求见，他向拿破仑建议，将木质的战舰改成钢制的铁甲舰，将布帆全部砍去，换成蒸汽机涡轮发动机。
这位世界战争史上罕见的天才统帅听后，不以为然地一笑。他那天才的大脑想，木板改成钢板，船还能漂在水面上吗？砍了布帆，船靠什么前进？就靠那把大茶壶吗？他想，他是工程师吗？一个疯子而已。
他下令，把这个喋喋不休的疯子大耳光子扇出去。
拿破仑可能永远都不知道，他犯下的是一个什么样的错误。如果他听了这个喋喋不休的“疯子”的话，历史将因此被改写。他也不会在战败之后，被孤零零地囚禁并困死在一个小岛上。
聽完了这个小故事，总统一声未吭。半晌，就在奥本海默完全绝望的时候，总统看着他的公文包说：我不会下令把你这个喋喋不休的疯子大耳光子扇出去。把你的报告拿出来吧。
（摘自《知识就是力量》 ）
首先，当时秦根本没有攻赵的计划，只是找法子试探一下情况。“蔺相如者，为赵宦者令缪贤舍人”。在赵王遇到麻烦时，蔺相如受人之荐凭勇气“奉璧西入秦”。后来的结果，赵王尽管很有面子，但有一个很明显的漏洞没有引起重视。蔺相如完璧归赵使用的是下三烂手段，他叫手下人化了装，抄小路偷偷把和氏璧退回赵国，这样不仅没有解决赵国原来面临的危机，反而把矛盾激化了。赵本惧秦，担心怀璧而遭兵祸，蔺相如哄骗秦王说璧有毛病，并以碎璧相要挟，再骗秦王斋戒五日，要举行隆重的典礼才肯献璧。秦王何等人，能看不出他的拙劣演技，而一再受骗却不发兵攻赵?答案只有一个，就是秦本无意因璧攻赵，赵枉作杞人之忧了。赵以璧为宝，秦以天下为宝。说以城换璧，只不过借此考察赵国国情。秦王没有怒杀蔺相如，更说明他志不在璧而在天下。这是他在玩外交游戏。而对这些，赵王只是沉醉在完璧的喜悦之中，根本没有往深处去想。
其次，秦王有意让蔺相如成功，来灭赵的实力。秦王志在天下，岂可因一璧而失十五城?天下一统，区区一璧何患不入秦?得民心者得天下，秦若为一璧而弃十五城子民，必会失去民心。民心失，天下失，一块和氏璧又如何保得住?秦若夺一璧而激怒赵，赵必然举国相抗，秦王焉能不知其中利害?从事情发展的始末看，秦并无夺璧之意，犹如下棋闲处落子，看看对方的反应而已。而秦所惧者，廉颇也。蔺相如不过机锋之能，算不上雄才大略。秦王助他成功，就是闲处落子，造成其才能胜过廉颇的假相，达到赵相秦用的目的。
最后，在秦王的设计下，蔺相如官至相国，而赵走向衰亡。可以设想，如果将渑池会与荆轲刺秦时的环境相比较，蔺相如能够成功的可能性几乎为零，但是他却成功了，其中肯定另有原因。史载，在秦王的宫殿里，连卫士都是列于阶下，不奉诏不准上殿，以荆轲之勇尚且血溅朝堂，而渑池会上戒备森严，蔺相如以死相拼，竟能斥退环列的武士，难免令人生疑。蔺相如两次成功都用了玩命的手段，这在谈笑间杀人数万的霸主眼里，可谓关公面前耍大刀。何况，六国皆称秦为虎狼之国，秦王岂会被一个文官吓倒?这就可以看出秦王是有意成全其功。很快，秦王的预想逐步成为现实，第一步是赵“以相如功大，拜为上卿，位在廉颇之右”，而廉颇则认为“蔺相如徒以口舌为劳，而位居我上，且相如素贱人，吾羞，不忍为之下”，造成将相失和。廉颇者，赵之良将，拜为上卿，以勇气闻干诸侯，遇到蔺相如，无奈也得负荆请罪，此后终不见用，只好老死乡野。第二步就是诱导赵王看重口舌之才。4年后，赵惠文王死，孝成王立，在用人失察上也越走越远。孝成王不听众人劝说，而用纸上谈兵的赵括取代廉颇，终使秦达到目的，加速了灭亡的进程。
完璧归赵，让秦暂时丢了一点面子，却为顺利灭赵，进而一统天下铺平了道路，可谓良计。

But the crow says, “You can come out and have a look by yourself.”

So the frog comes out from the well. He is very surprised. How big the world is!
于是青蛙来到井外。他十分惊讶，原来世界这么大!

画龙点睛
Mr. Li is a good painter. One day he draws a beautiful dragon without eyes.

But Mr. Li smiles and says, “If I add eyes to the dragon, it will fly away.”
可是李先生笑着说：“如果我给它加上眼睛，它就会飞走了。”
Mr. Zhou shakes head and says, “You are boasting. I don’t believe you.”
周先生摇头说：“你吹牛。我不相信。”
Mr. Li isn’t angry. He holds the paintbrush and adds eyes to the dragon. Wow! The dragon really flies.
In the State of Chu, there was a man whose family was very poor.Even at night the often dreamt of striking it rich, but the never worked hard.One day, when he was leafing through the book Huainan Zi, he came across a line saying:” When the mantis preys on the cicada, it relies entirely upon a leaf to conceal its body.” He thought that if one could get such a leaf, one could become invisible。
Thereupon, he ran into the woods, looking for just such a leaf among the branches.He had searched a long time before he discovered a mantis hiding itself behind a leaf and waiting to catch a cicada.He climbed up the tree at once, and plucked the leaf.But he was in such a big hurry that, out of carelessness.The leaf dropped to the ground.There were many, many fallen leaves on the ground.How could he identify the leaf he had plucked？ So he had to put all the leaves into a bamboo basket and carry them home.As soon as he got home, he held up one leaf after another in turn to cover his eye, and kept asking his wife:“Can you see me?”In the beginning, his wife always answered:” Yes, I can.”After a long time, she began to feel weird: what was the matter with her husband today? Why did he keep holding up a leaf and asking her the same question?。” He did this over and over again for one whole day.In the end, his wife got impatient and humoured him by saying:” No, I can’t.”
Hearing this, he became wild with joy.He turned and ran out to the street.Holding the leaf in one hand, he grabbed with the other hand the goods in a shop.But before he could withdraw his hand, he was caught on the spot and handed over to the local yamen.Sighing over one’s Insignificance be
When autumn came, all the water in the large and small rivers rose higher and flowed into the Yellow River.The surface of the River at once appeared much wider, On one side of the bank, one couldn’t see the cattle and sheep on the opposite side.The River deity Hebo was therefore immensely proud and considered himself the greatest in the world.Hero followed the Yellow River to the North Sea.Then he looked at himself and felt he could not see the bounds of the sea.Then he looked at himself and felt he was so tiny and insignificant.He sighed and said to Hairuo, the deity of the North Sea.“Asa the saying goes, a person who has gained a little learning tends to regard himself as the wiset person under the sky.I am just that kind of person.Seeing how broad and great you are today, I have come to realize how insignificant and ignorant I am.If I didn’t meet you , I’m afraid I would I would always be laughed at by people with knowledge.” Hairou said: “We cannot talk about the sea with a frog at the bottom of a well, for the frog is restricted by its dwelling place;we cannot talk about ice with a small insect is restricted by the seasons;we cabbit talk about profound learning with superficial persons, for they have too little knowledge.Now you have come out of a small river to the North Sea, seen the greatness of it and realized your own insignificance.Since you have taken such a modest attitude, I can then talk with you about profound learning.”
The King of Chu Beats the Drum
One day, King Li of the State of Chu announced to the people: If any emergency occurs in our country, the drum will be beaten as a signal.The moment the people hear the drum, they must assemble outside the palace gate at once.One day, King Li out drunk, when he passed by the drum stand, he started to beat the drum at random.When the people heard the drum, they ran from all directions to the palace gate, thinking that some emergency had occurred in the country.They stood all around in a dense mass.King Li sent someone to tell them:”Just now the King beat the drum, but nothing urgent had happened, it was only because the King got drunk and when he passed by the drum stand, he beat the drum just for fun.”
All the people returned to their homes , feeling angry.A few months later, some emergency really occurred in the State of Chu.The drum outside the palace gate sounded from early morning until night.Though the people heard the drum, they no longer cared about it and didn’t rush to the palace gate.An old horse knows the way
One spring, Guan Zhong and xi peng followed Huan Gong, King of the State of Qi, in an expedition against the State of Gu back.They lost their way, Guan Zhong said:
“Old horses are wise animals who know their way.Let them lead the way for us!”
Thereupon, they let several old horses lead in front and the army followed behind.Finally they found their way home.When the army entered the hills, they ran out of water.Then Xi Peng said:” In winter, the ants stay on the south side of a hill, and in summer, on the north side.There is sure to be water source under their nest.”
Thereupon, the soldiers exerted strenuous efforts to dig the ground.Sure enough, they found water under the ants’ nest.Men of great learning like Guan Zhong and Xi Peng, when coming across difficulties, would also seek help from horses and ants of lower intelligence than human beings to find a way out.Startling the world with a Single Cry
It had been three years since King Zhuang of Chu ascended the throne, but he had neither issued a decree nor dealt with any state affairs.Furthermore, there no deeds worth mentioning.All the civil and military officials of the court couldn’t understand what was the matter.One day, a military official quietly asked King of Chu in the carriage.“Your Majesty, I heard that in the south, there was a big bird dwelling in the hills.Three years passed, it neither flew nor cried.Could Your Majesty tell me the reason.”
King Zhuang of Chu smiled and answered: ”It didn’t spread its wings to fly for three years in order to grow full-fledged.It didn’t cry for three years in order to carefully observe the conditions of the people in the world.This bird, once it flies, will soar high into the sky;once it cries, it will startle the world with a single cry.”

Hearing this, Wang smiled and said:“You ought to believe that I have taught you all the skills in driving a carriage.But, when your Highness was racing against me, you always tried to keep in front of me.Once you lagged behind, you strove to overtake me;but after you overtook me, you were afraid that I would catch up with you.You focused all your attention on me.You forgot that in driving a carriage, the most important thing is to take of the horses wholeheartedly and pay attention to the handlebars of the carriage and the harness to see whether they fit of not.Only then can you give the rein to the horses and let them gallop for 1000 li.But during the race, you not only strove to be the first but also feared to lag behind.How could you concentrate your mind on driving the carriage? ”
故事一：爱情就像一根针线_Love Is Just a Thread
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
有时候，我真的怀疑父母之间是否有真爱。他们天天忙于赚钱，为我和弟弟支付学费。他们从未像我在书中读到，或在电视中看到的那样互诉衷肠。他们认为“我爱你”太奢侈，很难说出口。更不用说在情人节送花这样的事了。我父亲的脾气非常坏。经过一天的劳累之后，他经常会发脾气。
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
一天，母亲正在缝被子，我静静地坐在她旁边看着她。
“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.
过了一会，我说：“妈妈，我想问你一个问题。”
“What?” she replied, still doing her work.
“什么问题?”她一边继续缝着，一边回答道。
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
我低声地问道：“你和爸爸之间有没有爱情啊?”
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
母亲突然停下了手中的活，满眼诧异地抬起头。她没有立即作答。然后低下头，继续缝被子。
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
我担心伤害了她。我非常尴尬，不知道该怎么办。不过，后来我听见母亲说：
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes thequilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is inside.”
“苏珊，看看这些线。有时候，你能看得见，但是大多数都隐藏在被子里。这些线使被子坚固耐用。如果生活就像一床被子，那么爱就是其中的线。你不可能随时随地看到它，但是它却实实在在地存在着。爱是内在的。”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.
我仔细地听着，却无法明白她的话，直到第二年春天。那时候，我父亲突然得了重病。母亲在医院里待了一个月。当他们从医院回来的时候，都显得非常苍白，就像他们都得了一场重病一样。
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed they were the most harmonious couple. Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sungently glistened through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.
他们回来之后，每天的清晨或黄昏，母亲都会搀扶着父亲在乡村的小路上漫步。父亲从未如此温和过。他们就像是天作之合。在小路旁边，有许多美丽的野花、绿草和树木。阳光穿过树叶的缝隙，温柔地照射在地面上。这一切形成了一幅世间最美好的画面。
The doctor had said my father would recover in two months.But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.
医生说父亲将在两个月后康复。但是两个月之后，他仍然无法独自行走。我们都很为他担心。
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
有一天，我问他：“爸爸，你感觉怎么样?”
“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes,I know he loves my mother deeply.
他温和地说：“苏珊，不用为我担心。跟你说吧，我喜欢与你妈妈一块散步的感觉。我喜欢这种生活。”从他的`眼神里，我看得出他对母亲的爱之深刻。
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm..
我曾经认为爱情就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻。但是从那一刻起，我明白了，爱情就像是生活中被子里的一根针线。爱其实已深藏于心底，使生活变得坚固而温暖。

Cao Cao led a large force against Zhao Yun, who retreated as fas as the gates of his camp.
There, he ordered that the banners be lowered and the war drums silenced, and that the camp gates be left wide open.
Zhao Yun then stationed(安置，驻扎) his troops in ambush(埋伏) nearly. When Cao Cao arrived and saw the situation, he immediately suspected a trap and withdrew his forces.
民族英雄林则徐在广州禁烟收缴鸦片时要求各国商人签字画押，保证“嗣后来船，永不敢夹带鸦片，如有带来，一经查出，货尽没官，人即正法，情甘服罪。”当时英国政府派驻广州的商务监督义律，是一个好战分子，态度十分蛮横。他对林则徐恨之入骨，百般阻挠无效，交出鸦片，下令英国商人不许在保证书上签字画押，并率领他们于4月12日退出广州，先是住到澳门，后来澳门也住不下去，又退到了停泊在九龙尖沙嘴附近海面上的船上。
由于澳门的葡萄牙人一直同英国鸦片商人互相勾结，林则徐在禁烟时，也十分注意澳门方面的情况。他了解到居住在澳门的葡萄牙人表面上似乎恭顺守法，实际上居心叵测，而且与英国等外商互相勾结，故而禁烟必须从“澳门清源”。因此，林则徐决定对澳门来一次突击性的搜查。1839年5月，他命令中国官员带兵到澳门，按照编查保甲的办法，挨家挨户进行搜查，不许遗漏一户，主要是搜查葡萄牙人及外国商人的住处，看有没有私存鸦片。澳门的葡萄牙“兵头”始而拒绝，威胁中国如果禁烟势必会引起战争。最后，他们不得不交出了一些英国商人偷运进澳门的鸦片，并在澳门码头焚毁了一些收缴的零散鸦片，以表示服从中国政府的禁烟令。
1839年9月3日晨，林则徐在两广总督邓廷桢的陪同下到澳门巡视检查禁烟事宜。这一天，葡萄牙“自治政府”长官率军官4名、士兵100名在关闸列队恭迎，军官戎服佩剑，士兵荷枪实弹，“番乐齐奏”，场面热闹而隆重。途经望厦村时，林则徐在莲峰古庙接见了葡萄牙“民政长官”，向他们“宣布恩威，申明禁令”，告诫他们安分守法，不得囤积鸦片，不准包庇奸商。接见之后，赏给他们中国的绸缎、折扇、茶叶、冰糖等特产；赏给士兵牛、羊、酒及大洋400元。随后，林则徐一行威风凛凛地巡视澳门，从三巴门进入围墙，经大三巴、关前街、妈阁庙，再折至南湾，一路视察了主要街道，抽查一些洋楼和民房，看到原来租给英国人住的洋楼都已关闭，也没有发现贮存鸦片。林则徐一行所到之处，万人空巷，无论是中国人还是葡萄牙居民都扶老携幼，争先恐后，以一睹这位钦差大臣的风采为快。大三巴、妈阁和南湾的炮台都鸣放礼炮19响，以示对林则徐的崇高敬意。这天中午，林则徐一行在葡萄牙官员们的护送下离开澳门返回香山县。
9月8日，广东海关监督豫坤奉林则徐之命再到澳门视察，申明除了鸦片贸易外，其它贸易照常进行，“以示怀柔”。当天，澳门与内地的正常贸易开始恢复。
在这之后，林则徐出面主办了《澳门新闻报》，这是澳门中文报纸的开山祖。主要内容是摘译英文《澳门月报》上的有关消息，供朝廷参考，成为当时中国人开眼看世界的窗口。近代学者、诗人魏源先生是林则徐的知已好友，他为《澳门新闻报》费尽了心血，同时阐明了林则徐和他提出的“师夷长技以制夷”的思想。林则徐维护澳门的主权，维护中华民族的根本利益，永远值得炎黄子孙纪念。
九上第23课《世界的文化杰作》让一位同学扮演贝多芬先生，另一位同学扮演他的朋友“公爵”先生。二人对话如下：
贝多芬说：“我是一个富有正义感的人。最看不惯那些以大欺小、以强凌弱的人；最讨厌那些以权压人、附庸风雅的人。”正说着来了一位朋友。
“公爵”先生走上台来，说到：“亲爱的朋友，好久不见，非常想念你。”二人拥抱。“我这是无事不登三宝殿，想请阁下到寒舍去演奏，不知可否？”
贝多芬说：“为何事而举办演奏会呢？” 公爵说：“有几位法国朋友到我这里玩。” 贝多芬说：“什么朋友？” 公爵说：“法国军官。” 贝多芬一听，忙说：“对不起，我不能为这种专门侵略别国的人演奏。” 公爵听后，非常生气的说：“我命令你必须去演奏，否则„„哼”
贝多芬也非常生气的说：“不可能。”然后把公爵送给他的一尊胸像摔碎，“送客。”
过了一会，贝多芬给公爵写了一封信，信中写到：“公爵！您所以成为一名公爵，不过是因为偶然的出生罢了。而我所以成为贝多芬，则完全靠我自己的努力；像你这样的公爵，现在比比皆是，将来也少不了，而我贝多芬却只有一个。”
你想更多了解贝多芬吗？你想知道贝多芬有哪些代表作吗？这就是我们今天要学习的第23课《世界的文化杰作》。
