21、我们的肉体会消失，双手会干枯，可它们创造的真善美将永世长存。4 不要耗费生命积聚终将成土成灰的东西。与其追求物质，不如追求理想，因为唯独理想能赋予生命以意义，并具有永久的价值。5 一所房子加上爱就是一个家。一座城市加上正直就是一个社会。一堆红砖加上真理就是一所学校。最简陋的大厦加上信仰就是一座神殿。在人类无尽的努力之上加上正义就是文明。把这些放到一起，在当下的不足之上加以提升，加上人类得到救赎的前景，永远无争无求，你们就有了一个闪耀着绚丽的希望之光的未来。TEXTBREADINGCOMPREHENSION1.

30、（略）2 但我个人一直认为，真正的体育故事其实讲的是失败。体育运动，通常是竞技运动，是一项即使那些伟大的胜者、传奇似的运动员也最终难逃败北下场的一种活动，即使没有其他原因，最终都会因为身体已力不从心，再也无法完成那些得心应手、曾使他们出类拔萃、不同凡响的作为而败出。3 自问世起，竞技运动就有排斥性，教的就是人的局限性的课程。有些孩子天生强于他人。在运动场上临时挑人组队的比赛中，总免不了有令人伤心的局面，有些男孩是最后才被选中的，通常是像流放到西伯利亚那样去棒球场的右外场，或被分配在橄榄球队的内线像采煤工那般干苦累活。4 体育还会给一个男孩第一个警示，这个世界是不公平的，天赋分配不均：一些男孩比

The Arabian Nights, Little Red Riding Hood and Finnegans Wake are cited in thepassage to clarify the point that despite many possible ways to interpret them, the10texts are finiteandlimited.3. One mistaken belief of the deconstructionists is that you have a
45、ny freedom tointerpret the text.(oryou can doanything you want with atext)4. The first possibility of using hypertextual strategies to “open” up a finite andlimited text is to enrich the story by successive contributions of differentauthors.(or allowdifferent authors todevelop thestory)5. Another wa

The production of unlimited texts differs from already-produced texts in that thelattermay be interpreted ininfinite ways but are physically limited.7. In a more liberated society, free creativi
