When itcomes to a meaningful life, we might think of love, happiness and health. Alife filled with meaning is what most of us want for ourselves. Then, whatmakes a meaningful life?Manyresearchers agree that a meaningful life comes down to three factors (因素): havinglong-term goals, believing that one’s life matters, and feeling that one’s lifefits together and “makes sense”.But we believe there is more to consider. Sometimeslife enables us to experience small moments of beauty. When people are open toappreciating (欣賞) suchexperiences, these moments may improve how they see their own life. We callthis experiential appreciation (EA).
一般人在一個完整的夜間睡眠中,大腦在進行著具有一定周期性的功能和狀態(tài)循環(huán)。依據多導睡眠圖描繪的腦電圖模式、眼動和肌張力特征,人的睡眠結構可以分為兩種類型:非快速眼動睡眠和快速眼動睡眠。非快速眼動睡眠與快速眼動睡眠循環(huán)交替一次稱為一個睡眠周期。每次夜晚的睡眠通常有4~5個睡眠周期,每個周期約90~110分鐘。兩個睡眠周期之間通常伴有短暫覺醒,整夜大概出現4~6次。
做一?!白x書種子”,讓閱讀成為一種力量,推動文化傳統薪火相傳,可以說正是讀書人的自我期許。從“每有會意,便欣然忘食”的陶淵明,到“讀書破萬卷,下筆如有神”的杜甫,再到“不是老夫朝不食,半山絕句當朝餐”的楊萬里,無不是“讀書種子”的精彩寫照。讀書滋養(yǎng)美好心靈,可以遇見更好的自己,看到更美的世界。所謂“耕讀傳家久,詩書繼世長”,重視學習、重視詩書,千百年來融入中國人的血脈里,成為中國特有的文化稟賦。
人,說著就會慢慢兒長大的。坡里移來的小桃樹,在菜園里都長滿了-握。姐姐出閣了呢。那遠遠的山莊里,土財主。每次搬回來住娘家,母親和我們弟弟,總是于夕陽的輝照中,在莊頭眺望的。遠遠聽見了鑾鈴聲響,隔著疏疏的楊柳,隱約望見了在馬上招手的客人,母親總禁不住先喜歡得落淚,我們也快活得像幾只鳥,叫著跑著迎上去。問著好,從伙計的手中接過馬轡來,姐姐總說:“又長高了。”車門口,也是彼此問著好:客人盡管是一-邊笑著,偷回首卻是滿手帕的淚。
從促進生物多樣性的角度來說,啄木鳥發(fā)揮著重要的積極作用。啄木鳥屬于初級洞巢鳥,自己開鑿樹洞并在洞內繁殖。同時,還為次級洞巢鳥(指沒有啄洞本領,需要利用啄木鳥的舊洞進行繁殖的鳥類)提供“住所”。例如貓頭鷹和大山雀,它們很多時候就需要利用啄木鳥的舊洞進行繁殖。如果某區(qū)域沒有初級洞巢鳥,那么次級洞巢鳥也很可能消失。不僅如此,啄木鳥的啄洞還能為花鼠、貂等哺乳動物提供繁殖棲息場所??梢哉f,啄木鳥在整個森林生態(tài)系統的群落組織方面發(fā)揮著舉足輕重的作用,是名副其實的“基石”物種。
儀式過后,撤去供案,開爐放鐵水。照眼的鐵水傾入一個方形的火磚煲中。鐵水盛滿,便被兩個大漢快速抬到廣場中央。同時拿上來一個大鐵桶,水里泡放著十幾個長柄勺子,先是其中一個大漢走上去從鐵桶中拿起一個勺子,走到火紅的鐵水前,彎腰一舀,跟著甩腰掄臂,滿滿一勺明亮的鐵水潑在城墻上。就在這一瞬,好似天崩地裂,呈現出任何地方都不會見到的極其燦爛的奇觀!金紅的鐵水潑擊墻面,四外飛濺,就像整個城墻被炸開那樣,整個堡門連同上邊的門樓子都被照亮。由于鐵硬墻堅,鐵花飛得又高又遠,鋪天蓋地,然后如同細密的光雨閃閃爍爍由天而降。可是不等這光雨落下,打樹花的大漢又把第二勺鐵水潑上去。一片沖天的火炮轟上去,一片漫天的光雨落下來,接續(xù)不斷;每個大漢潑七八下后走下去,跟著另一位大漢上陣來。每個漢子的經驗和功夫不同,手法上各有絕招,又互不示弱,漸漸就較上勁兒了。只要一較勁,打樹花就更好看了。眾人眼尖,不久就看出一位年紀大的漢子,身材短粗敦實,潑鐵水時腰板像硬橡膠,一舀一舀潑起來又快又猛又有韻律,鐵水潑得高,散的面廣,而且正好繞過城門洞;鐵花升騰時如在頭上張開一棵輝煌又奇幻的大樹。每每潑完鐵水走下來時,身后邊的光雨嘩嘩地落著,映襯著他一條粗健的黑影,好像槍林彈雨中一個無畏的勇士。他的裝束也有特色。別人頭上的草帽都是有檐的,為了防止鐵水迸在臉上,惟有他戴的是一頂無檐的小氈帽,更顯出他的勇氣。
青年應該勇于放飛夢想,追逐夢想。周總理的“為中華之崛起而讀書”和馬丁·路德·金的“我有一個夢想”等啟示我們:年輕人絕不能缺少夢想。夢想是什么?就是有目標。我一直相信,目標比努力更重要。有個故事是這么說的:有個人好不容易攬到了一個工程,他便加班加點、認認真真的施工。完工后,不但沒賺到錢,還挨了一頓揍。什么原因?人家讓他挖一口井,他把圖紙看倒了,蓋了個煙囪。“磨刀不誤砍柴工。”沒有明確目標、找不準方向,就急于出發(fā)、急于求成,最終的結果很有可能就是南轅北轍,無功而返。我們偉大的中國夢也是有具體目標的,作為青年一代的我們,是實現目標的生力軍,所以我們應該追夢,但更要正確的追夢。
