他真象個(gè)哥哥，帶她上學(xué)，伴她玩耍，含笑聽(tīng)她唧唧喳喳講話。

他只用手勢(shì)和她交談，可能她能讀懂他的每一個(gè)眼神。從哥哥注視她的目光里，她知道他有多么喜歡自己。

她這樣說(shuō)：“你以為我同情你嗎?想報(bào)答你嗎?不是，我12歲我就愛(ài)上你了。”可是，她得不到他的回答。

有一天，她突然住進(jìn)了醫(yī)院。他嚇壞了，跑去看他。醫(yī)生說(shuō)，她喉嚨里長(zhǎng)了一個(gè)瘤，雖然切除了，卻破壞了聲帶，可能再也講不了話了。病床上，她淚眼婆娑的注視著他，于是，他們結(jié)婚了。

很多年，沒(méi)有人聽(tīng)他們講過(guò)一句話。他們用手，用筆，用眼神交談，分享喜悅和悲傷。他們成了相戀男女羨慕的對(duì)象。人們說(shuō)，那一對(duì)多么幸福的啞巴夫妻啊!

愛(ài)情阻擋不了死神的降臨，他撇下她一個(gè)人先走了。

人們怕她經(jīng)受不住失去愛(ài)侶的打擊來(lái)安慰她，這時(shí)，她收回注視他遺像的呆癡目光，突然開(kāi)口說(shuō)：“他還是走了。

謊言已揭穿了…………

Let's take steps to banish some of the most common negative thoughts many of us repeat to ourselves.Being in a negative space is harmful to our overall well-being, because what you dwell on can easily become self fulfilling if you don't change your mindset.讓我們一起行動(dòng)起來(lái)，消滅那些我們經(jīng)常告訴自己的消極想法吧!如果你不改變想法，而是一味地沉浸在消極的念頭中，那么，我們的整個(gè)身心就會(huì)受到影響，因?yàn)椤柏瑝?mèng)”也會(huì)成真。

1.I'm not good enough.我不夠好。

This type of negative thought that can apply to many categories.Maybe you don't think you're a good enough mother or good at a sport.Even if you find yourself lacking in something, there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself.The human brain is an incredible thing.Be inspired by Dr.Jill Bolte Taylor, Harvard-trained neuroscientist who suffered a stroke that left her unable to walk, read, write, talk, or remember her previous life.Dr.Taylor took eight years to recover and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah.Keep on working toward something, and watch the leaps and

bounds you'll make.這種消極想法有很多類型。比如你認(rèn)為自己不是個(gè)稱職的媽媽或不擅長(zhǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。即使你真的發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己的弱點(diǎn)，也沒(méi)必要對(duì)自己不斷復(fù)述。人腦是神奇的。吉爾泰勒就是個(gè)激勵(lì)的好典型，她是哈佛大學(xué)的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)學(xué)專家，中風(fēng)后她就失去了行走、閱讀、書(shū)寫(xiě)、交談的能力了，甚至還失憶了。她花了八年的時(shí)間復(fù)原，用自己的經(jīng)歷寫(xiě)了暢銷書(shū)，還上了奧普拉的節(jié)目。堅(jiān)持做一件事，親眼見(jiàn)證自己的變化。

2.No one cares about me.沒(méi)人關(guān)心我。

To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you would be a very rare situation.Maybe you're being too negative and overlooking the gestures of love they show you.They don't even have to be big gestures, but it's the little things they do for you that count.And people may be reacting to the energy you're putting out;perhaps you think they don't care about you so you don't make any effort in your relationships.Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in kind.And if you don't have good relationships with the people you know, what's stopping you from making new friends?

家人朋友都不關(guān)心你，這種情況其實(shí)不太常見(jiàn)。可能你過(guò)于消極的想法使你忽略了他們對(duì)你表達(dá)的愛(ài)。他們甚至并不需要為你做什么驚天動(dòng)地的大事，正是一些小事才真正打動(dòng)人心。或者你覺(jué)得沒(méi)人關(guān)心你，所以無(wú)需再經(jīng)營(yíng)人際關(guān)系，但其實(shí)也許人們只有在感知到你的付出后，才會(huì)對(duì)你進(jìn)行回報(bào);關(guān)心別人，別人才會(huì)關(guān)心你。如果你和周圍人的關(guān)系處理不好，為何不結(jié)交些新朋友?

3.I really dislike this person.我真的不喜歡這個(gè)人。

If you dislike a person in your work or personal life, focusing on her bad qualities is not going to make things better.You need to let go of your assumptions about her and know that she is human too, which means she makes mistakes.Either you move on and stop thinking and talking about her, or learn to approach her or think about her in a positive manner.Focus on her good qualities, and repeat them to yourself instead of honing in on the unpleasant things.如果工作或生活中有你討厭的人，只關(guān)注她的缺點(diǎn)有害無(wú)益。你需要放下對(duì)她的所有成見(jiàn)，告訴自己她也是個(gè)人，也有犯錯(cuò)的時(shí)候。要么就不再談?wù)撍拖胫磳W(xué)著去接近她，或想想她好的一面。多想想她的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，不要再專注于讓你不開(kāi)心的事情。

4.Why is she better off?

為什么她比我好?

Comparing yourself to someone else is never productive or positive.There's always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you.If you keep coveting what someone else has, then this may cause you to be resentful of them, which will open a whole other negative can of worms.Remember, what they don't have is your whole package.Be appreciative of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.和別人比較永遠(yuǎn)不是有效率和積極的表現(xiàn)。總有比你年輕，漂亮，聰明，富有的人。如果你始終關(guān)注別人擁有什么，會(huì)帶來(lái)你對(duì)他們的恨意，隨即帶來(lái)更多消極的想法。記住，你所擁有的也是他們所沒(méi)有的。珍惜你所擁有的東西，如果真的想和別人比較，也別忘了總有

比你差的人。

5.I'll never reach my goal.我永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法達(dá)到目標(biāo)。

If you think you're not going to be able “get there,” think again.There are many people who are worse off and have overcome bigger obstacles than what you are facing.Take, for example, Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, an amputee who overcame his handicap to compete in the Olympics against his able-bodied peers.Everything is within your reach as long as you work hard and have a a positive attitude.如果你認(rèn)為自己達(dá)不到，再想想。比你差的人比比皆是，他們遇到的困難也比你的更大。比如，奧運(yùn)會(huì)短跑選手刀鋒戰(zhàn)士奧斯卡·皮斯托利斯，一個(gè)被截肢的運(yùn)動(dòng)員，戰(zhàn)勝了自己的阻礙，在其他健壯的對(duì)手中脫穎而出贏得了奧運(yùn)會(huì)的冠軍。只要你努力付出，有著積極的信念，任何事都能夠做到。

Are you waiting for your dreams to come true and change your life?

I am sorry to tell you that dreams don't come true.你是否還在等待實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想來(lái)改變你的生活?

很遺憾，那樣夢(mèng)想是不能成真的。

Rather, it is your goals that can forever change your life.You need to set goals in order turn your dreams into reality.但是，你的目標(biāo)卻能永遠(yuǎn)的改變你的生活

如果要想夢(mèng)想成真，你就需要給自己訂立目標(biāo)

Don't Confuse Dreams and Goals

Dreams are easy.They are free, too.不要將你的夢(mèng)想和目標(biāo)拒之門(mén)外

夢(mèng)想簡(jiǎn)單易得

However, dreams by themselves are just that… dreams.然而，夢(mèng)想本身也就是夢(mèng)想

They are imaginary.And they don't produce tangible results.它們是被想象出來(lái)的，它們也不會(huì)形成有形的產(chǎn)物。

You need to turn your dreams into action.You need goals to make the visions

of your dreams real.你要做的就是將你的夢(mèng)想變?yōu)樾袆?dòng)。你需要設(shè)立目標(biāo)，將你的夢(mèng)想變得觸手可及。

“Dreams can inspire you, but goals can change your life.”

夢(mèng)想能夠激勵(lì)你，但是目標(biāo)才能改變你的生活

Goals are all about action.Goals turn dreams into reality.目標(biāo)與一系列的行動(dòng)相關(guān)。目標(biāo)能讓夢(mèng)想成真。

Goals change you and can change your life.目標(biāo)可以改變你，改變你的生活。

Don't confuse your dreams with goals.不要將你有了目標(biāo)的夢(mèng)想拒之門(mén)外。

Dreams occupy your mind.Goals take over your reality.夢(mèng)想充實(shí)你的內(nèi)心世界，目標(biāo)占據(jù)著你的現(xiàn)實(shí)生活。

What will it take to turn your dreams into goals?

怎樣才能把你的夢(mèng)想轉(zhuǎn)化成你的目標(biāo)?

Here are 10 Big Differences Between Goals and Dreams:

這里有夢(mèng)想和目標(biāo)的10個(gè)不同點(diǎn)

Goals are something you are acting on.目標(biāo)是你正在做的某些事。

Dreams are something you are just thinking about.Goals require action.Dreams can happen without lifting a finger, even while you are asleep.夢(mèng)想是你內(nèi)心正在思考的某些東西。目標(biāo)需要行動(dòng)。睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候可以產(chǎn)生夢(mèng)想，甚至不動(dòng)一根手指也一樣可以辦到。

Goals have deadlines.Dreams are just, well, dreams.目標(biāo)是有期限的，而夢(mèng)想只是夢(mèng)想。

Goals must have a deadline.They have a time limit.Dreams can go on forever.In fact, many people maintain dreams their entire lives without ever reaching them.目標(biāo)肯定有一個(gè)有效期，它們是有時(shí)間限制的。但是夢(mèng)想?yún)s能永遠(yuǎn)存在。事實(shí)上，許多人都有一個(gè)一生都沒(méi)能實(shí)現(xiàn)的夢(mèng)想。

Dreams are free.Goals have a cost.夢(mèng)想不需要你支付任何東西，而目標(biāo)是需要付出代價(jià)的。

While you can daydream for free, goals don't come without a price.Time, money, effort and sweat.How will you pay for your goals?

做白日夢(mèng)不需要有付出，但是目標(biāo)卻不可能沒(méi)有付出。時(shí)間，金錢(qián)，精力，汗水。為了達(dá)成你的目標(biāo)，你打算付出些什么呢?

Goals produce results.Dreams don't.目標(biāo)是可以產(chǎn)生一定的結(jié)果的，但夢(mèng)想不會(huì)。

Want to change your life? Your job? Your status in life? Goals can do that.A good friend of mine made six-figures on the ebook he published.He did that.Had it stayed as a dream, his life would have been as it always was.想要你的生活，工作，社會(huì)地位有些改變嗎?目標(biāo)可以幫你做到。我的一個(gè)好朋友出版的電子書(shū)數(shù)量超過(guò)了六位數(shù)，他確實(shí)做到了。如果他一直讓夢(mèng)想只是夢(mèng)想的話，他的生活還是跟以往一樣，沒(méi)有任何改變。

Dreams are imaginary.Goals are based in reality.夢(mèng)想是想象的產(chǎn)物，而目標(biāo)確實(shí)存在于現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中。

You may dream of being Superman, but that is probably not going to happen.Goals are about what you can actually accomplish.They are grounded in the reality of our world.Goals should be big, but not supernatural.你的夢(mèng)想可能是做一個(gè)超人，但很可能它不能成真。目標(biāo)與你實(shí)際完成的事有關(guān)，它們存在于我們的現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中。目標(biāo)可以很大，但絕不是超自然。

Goals have a finish line.Dreams never have to end.目標(biāo)有一個(gè)終點(diǎn)，但夢(mèng)想?yún)s可以是沒(méi)有邊際的。

Dreams can go on forever.They don't have to have an ending point.Goals must have a specific outcome.夢(mèng)想可以一直存在，他不需要有終結(jié)點(diǎn)。但目標(biāo)肯定會(huì)有一個(gè)特定的結(jié)果。

Dreams can inspire you.Goals can change your life.夢(mèng)想可以一直激勵(lì)你，而目標(biāo)才能改變你的生活。

Dreams can bring you motivation.They can inspire you.But, goals can change your life forever.夢(mèng)想能給你帶來(lái)激情，它能一直鼓勵(lì)你，但是目標(biāo)才能一直改變你的生活。

Goals must have focus.Dreams don't.我們必須專注目標(biāo)，夢(mèng)想可以不用。

Dreams can be drifting, ever-changing thoughts.Goals must be laser-focused.They must be specific and they must be always on your mind.夢(mèng)想是可以隨著思想的變化而變化的，但是目標(biāo)必須要有焦點(diǎn)。它們是具體的，印在你腦海里的。

Goals require hard work.Dreams just require your imagination.目標(biāo)需要我們努力工作，而夢(mèng)想只需要你的想象。

Dreaming is easy.做夢(mèng)都挺容易的。

Almost everyone has a dream.But, fewer people have goals.幾乎人人都有夢(mèng)想。但是極少人有目標(biāo)。

Goals are hard and they require hard work.(See #3)

完成目標(biāo)是艱難的，同時(shí)也需要我們?yōu)榇硕Φ毓ぷ鳌?/p>

Dreams stretch your imagination.Goals stretch you.夢(mèng)想可以拓寬你的想象力，而目標(biāo)是拓展你自己。

Dreaming leads to bigger dreams.They stretch the limits of your imagination.But, goals stretch you.They increase your skills, your abilities, and change you forever.做夢(mèng)可以產(chǎn)生更大的夢(mèng)想。它可以拓寬你的想象力，而目標(biāo)則是拓展你自己。它可以增加你的技巧，提高你的能力，永遠(yuǎn)的改變你。

Goals Do Come True 完成目標(biāo)

Dreams can inspire you, but goals can change your life.夢(mèng)想可以鼓勵(lì)你，而目標(biāo)則能永遠(yuǎn)的改變你。

Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s longest-serving and only woman prime minister, has died aged 87 after suffering a stroke, prompting a flood of tributes from across the globe.瑪格麗特?撒切爾(Margaret Thatcher)因中風(fēng)去世，享年87歲，在世界各地引發(fā)了一陣哀悼浪潮。撒切爾是英國(guó)任職最長(zhǎng)的首相，也是唯一的女首相。

Leaders lined up to pay their respects to the former prime minister, who revolutionised the UK economy during an 11-year tenure, as she rolled back the state and put in place some of the country’s most radical and controversial reforms.各國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人紛紛向這位英國(guó)前首相表達(dá)敬意。在其長(zhǎng)達(dá)11年的任期中，撒切爾領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了英國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的革命，縮減了政府職能，并實(shí)施了該國(guó)最為激進(jìn)、最有爭(zhēng)議的一些改革。

David Cameron, UK prime minister, described the former Conservative prime minister as the “greatest peacetime prime minister”.英國(guó)現(xiàn)首相戴維?卡梅倫(David Cameron)把這位前保守黨首相稱為“英國(guó)和平時(shí)期最偉大的首相”。

“[She] took a country that was on its knees and made Britain stand tall again.We can’t deny that Lady Thatcher divided opinion.For many of us, she was and is

an inspiration.For others she was a force to be defined against.卡梅倫表示：“(她)臨危受命，讓英國(guó)重新站起來(lái)，再度屹立。不可否認(rèn)，人們對(duì)她的評(píng)價(jià)各異。在我們?cè)S多人看來(lái)，她過(guò)去和現(xiàn)在都是一位鼓舞人心的人物。在其他人看來(lái)，她是一種特色鮮明的力量。

“But if there is one thing that cuts through all of this – one thing that runs through everything she did – it was her lion-hearted love for this country,” he said.“但如果說(shuō)有一個(gè)中心貫穿著她的一生——在她所做的每一件事中都體現(xiàn)出來(lái)，那就是她對(duì)這個(gè)國(guó)家的無(wú)比熱愛(ài)。”

President Barack Obama said: “The world has lost one of the great champions of freedom and liberty, and America has lost a true friend.”

美國(guó)總統(tǒng)巴拉克?奧巴馬(Barack Obama)表示：“世界失去了一位積極倡導(dǎo)自由的領(lǐng)袖，美國(guó)失去了一位真正的朋友。”

The prime minister’s office announced that parliament would be recalled for a special session on Wednesday to pay tribute to Thatcher.Her funeral will be held at the end of next week at St Paul’s Cathedral.英國(guó)首相辦公室宣布，周三議會(huì)將召開(kāi)一次特別會(huì)議，向撒切爾致哀。她的葬禮將于下周末在倫敦圣保羅大教堂(St Paul's Cathedral)舉行。

She will have a “full ceremonial funeral” with military honours as was afforded to the Queen Mother and Lady Diana.The British flag flew at half mast over Parliament to honour Thatcher as all UK political parties suspended campaigning for the local elections on May 2.撒切爾將享有帶有軍事禮儀的“禮儀葬禮”，禮遇同王太后和戴安娜一樣。英國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)降半旗向撒切爾致哀，各政黨暫停針對(duì)5月2日地方選舉的競(jìng)選活動(dòng)。

Thatcher, who transformed Britain with her free-market revolution, had been in poor health since suffering minor strokes in 2002.自從2002年患上中風(fēng)以來(lái)，撒切爾的健康狀況一直很差。她曾以自己的自由市場(chǎng)革命改變了英國(guó)的面貌。

Statesmen past and present shared their memories of the woman dubbed the “Iron Lady”.Tony Blair, the second longest-serving postwar prime minister, called her “a towering political figure”.“Very few leaders get to change not only the political landscape of their country but of the world.Margaret was such a leader.Her global impact was vast.”

已卸任和在任的政治家們共同悼念有“鐵娘子”綽號(hào)的撒切爾。英國(guó)戰(zhàn)后任期第二長(zhǎng)的首相托尼布萊爾(Tony Blair)稱撒切爾為“一位偉大的政治人物。”“不但改變本國(guó)政治版圖、還改變世界政治版圖的領(lǐng)袖人物非常少，撒切爾就是其中的一位。她在全球播下了深遠(yuǎn)的影響。”

George W.Bush, former US president, described her as a “great ally” who “strengthened the special relationship”.美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)小布什(George W.Bush)稱撒切爾為一位“強(qiáng)化了美英特殊關(guān)系的偉大盟友”。

Thatcher had a particularly close relationship with Ronald Reagan, the former US president.撒切爾與美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)羅納德?里根(Ronald Reagan)之間保持了一種極為密切的關(guān)系。

With Reagan, she helped bring about the end of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall.The British prime minister saw herself as the perfect intermediary between the two countries, having struck up constructive relationships with both Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet president, and a man with whom she told Reagan “we can do business”.她和里根一道促成了蘇聯(lián)的解體和柏林墻的倒塌。這位英國(guó)前首相把自己視為美蘇兩國(guó)間的完美中間人，與里根和蘇聯(lián)總統(tǒng)米哈伊爾?戈?duì)柊蛦谭?Mikhail Gorbachev)都建立了富有建設(shè)意義的關(guān)系。她告訴里根，戈?duì)柊蛦谭蚴且粋€(gè)“我們能和他打交道”的人。

Mr Gorbachev said Thatcher helped end the Cold War: “Thatcher was a politician whose word carried great weight,” he said in a statement on his website.“Our first meeting in 1984 marked the beginning of a relationship that was at times difficult, not always smooth, but was treated seriously and responsibly by both sides.”

戈?duì)柊蛦谭蛟谧约壕W(wǎng)站上發(fā)布的聲明中表示，撒切爾幫助結(jié)束了冷戰(zhàn)：“撒切爾是一位一言九鼎的政治家。我們?cè)?984年第一次會(huì)面，隨后便開(kāi)啟了一段時(shí)而棘手、并非一帆風(fēng)順但雙方都認(rèn)真負(fù)責(zé)予以對(duì)待的關(guān)系。”

Lech Walesa, Poland’s former president and anti-communist freedom figure, said Thatcher was key in hastening the fall of the Iron Curtain: “She was a great person.She did a great deal for the world, along with Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II and Solidarity, she contributed to the demise of communism in Poland and central Europe.”

波蘭前總統(tǒng)、反對(duì)共產(chǎn)主義的自由派人士列赫?瓦文薩(Lech Walesa)表示，撒切爾在加

速“鐵幕”(Iron Curtain)倒塌的過(guò)程中發(fā)揮了關(guān)鍵的作用：“她是一位偉人。她為世界做出了巨大的貢獻(xiàn)，她與羅納德?里根、教皇約翰?保羅二世(Pope John Paul II)和波蘭團(tuán)結(jié)工會(huì)(Solidarity)一起，推動(dòng)了波蘭與中歐共產(chǎn)主義政權(quán)的終結(jié)。”

Her other great success abroad was in the Falklands War against Argentina, which invaded the islands in 1982.Thatcher defied resistance in her own cabinet to send a 25,000-strong task force to the tiny archipelago, which troops eventually recaptured after two months.撒切爾在海外的其他巨大勝利，還包括1982年的英阿福克蘭群島戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)(Falklands war，又稱馬島戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng))。她不顧自己內(nèi)閣的反對(duì)，向面積微小的福克蘭群島派出了2.5萬(wàn)人的特遣部隊(duì)，最終于兩個(gè)月后奪回了該群島。

Her legacy was just as long-lasting at home.A succession of prime ministers, Labour and Conservative alike, have felt unable or unwilling to depart from the blueprint she established of a state serviced by privatised utilities and free of the stranglehold of organised unions.撒切爾在國(guó)內(nèi)留下的遺產(chǎn)同樣意義深遠(yuǎn)。歷任首相，無(wú)論出自工黨還是保守黨，都感到不能或不愿背離她為英國(guó)設(shè)定的藍(lán)圖——公用事業(yè)私有化，企業(yè)不受有組織工會(huì)的鉗制。

講臺(tái)上，兩個(gè)學(xué)生正在用英語(yǔ)“吵架”！下面的學(xué)生也分成兩派，激動(dòng)無(wú)比地打起了英語(yǔ)“口水仗”。而他們的老師，“深圳市優(yōu)秀教師”徐永紅則笑瞇瞇地站在一邊，還不時(shí)地點(diǎn)頭贊許。原來(lái)，學(xué)生們正在就“如果你是市長(zhǎng)，會(huì)怎么治理環(huán)境污染問(wèn)題”這一命題展開(kāi)英語(yǔ)辯論。

這是翠竹小學(xué)雙語(yǔ)班的一節(jié)自然課。可以說(shuō)，翠竹小學(xué)雙語(yǔ)班的英語(yǔ)課堂是一個(gè)沒(méi)有門(mén)窗遮擋、沒(méi)有圍墻阻隔的“英語(yǔ)國(guó)度”。在課堂上，學(xué)生們演英語(yǔ)小品、編英語(yǔ)故事、進(jìn)行英語(yǔ)辯論、用流利的英語(yǔ)播報(bào)氣象預(yù)報(bào)；在課堂外，學(xué)生們參加英語(yǔ)角、英語(yǔ)沙龍、英語(yǔ)廣播、英語(yǔ)智力競(jìng)賽等活動(dòng)，寫(xiě)英語(yǔ)日記、創(chuàng)辦英語(yǔ)小報(bào)、開(kāi)展各種社會(huì)調(diào)查，并用英文寫(xiě)成調(diào)查報(bào)告。

雙語(yǔ)教學(xué)是翠竹小學(xué)一個(gè)亮點(diǎn)，它再一次體現(xiàn)了“因材施教”這個(gè)核心理念：根據(jù)學(xué)生不同的最佳學(xué)習(xí)期進(jìn)行教育。張希懷校長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為，根據(jù)最佳學(xué)習(xí)期原理，孩子在小學(xué)階段，語(yǔ)言模仿與學(xué)習(xí)能力最強(qiáng)。抓住這個(gè)時(shí)期對(duì)他們進(jìn)行早期語(yǔ)言開(kāi)發(fā)，可以取得事半功倍的效果。

翠竹小學(xué)早在1994年就開(kāi)始了“雙語(yǔ)教學(xué)”的實(shí)驗(yàn)，是深圳市首批開(kāi)展“雙語(yǔ)”實(shí)驗(yàn)的學(xué)校。翠竹小學(xué)雙語(yǔ)班的學(xué)生從入學(xué)第一年開(kāi)始，老師們采用英、漢兩種語(yǔ)言齊頭并進(jìn)，同步教學(xué)。當(dāng)他們小學(xué)畢業(yè)時(shí)，英語(yǔ)尤其是口語(yǔ)水平已經(jīng)達(dá)到了高中學(xué)生的水平。

與大多數(shù)學(xué)了英語(yǔ)卻不敢講的中國(guó)孩子不同，翠竹小學(xué)的學(xué)生最喜歡找老外聊天。一位美國(guó)客人來(lái)聽(tīng)徐老師的課，一下課就被學(xué)生們包圍了。孩子們爭(zhēng)著與他交談，令這位美國(guó)客人連連感嘆說(shuō)：“想不到中國(guó)小學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)水平有這么高！”一位澳大利亞教育代表團(tuán)的客人聽(tīng)了課之后，對(duì)徐老師豎起了大拇指：“YouareNo．1teacher（你是最棒的老師）！”；而中央電視臺(tái)“走遍美國(guó)”英語(yǔ)電視節(jié)目主持人龔亞夫更是稱贊徐老師的課是他所聽(tīng)過(guò)的“最好的英語(yǔ)課”。

在國(guó)家、省、市、區(qū)舉行的各類英語(yǔ)競(jìng)賽和質(zhì)量測(cè)評(píng)中，翠竹小學(xué)的學(xué)生總是令人矚目。在香港舉辦的“八市英語(yǔ)戲劇比賽”中，他們贏得優(yōu)秀獎(jiǎng)；在“深、港、珠學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)朗讀比賽”中，他們榮獲一等獎(jiǎng)；在“澳洲國(guó)際英語(yǔ)水平測(cè)試”中，他們更是獲得了特等獎(jiǎng)。此外，從2000年開(kāi)始，翠竹小學(xué)學(xué)生參加深圳市外語(yǔ)學(xué)校招生考試，錄取率連續(xù)4年全市第一。
