B
Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by traveling west from Europe. In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan (麦哲伦). Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait(海峡). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America. They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines (菲律宾), men were dying of starvation (饥饿). While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.

责你太不细心，未能做到未雨绸缪、防微杜渐，要让它穿耳而过尽管他的指责是善意的，可是在这个世界上，每个人都是渺小的，谁也不能保证自己不踏入认识上的歧途不要太过相信“人无远虑，必有近忧”的话，无论自己对将来有多少设想，可它终究没有发生。最为紧要的是要抓住今天，认认真真活在当下。如此，才会在有限的生命中不为一些似是而非的东西浪费自己宝贵的光阴，才会不为那些旁逸斜出的枝杈失去自己的吟咏与歌唱。你才能听到妻儿的欢声笑语，才能沐浴到金色的夕阳、绚烂的晚照。即便风雨骤然而至，也依然轻裘绞带，玉树临风。
是天外有天、山外有山，那形貌亦是父母的遗传并非自己的努力，原本不值得他人夸奖。
是否出类拔革姑且不说，不完美本是人生的一种常
态，如此，你就能摆脱“一次失败就成永远颓势”的阴影，就能走出“局部不完美就泛滥成整体否定”的误区，就始终能保持清醒的头脑。
