ACT阅读里的浓郁鸡汤

　　ACT阅读的四篇文章类型依次prose fiction，social science，humanity，natural science。从内容上，又可谓是五花八门，包罗万象。在阅读ACT文章时，带上你的好奇心和求知欲，枯燥的备考做题之余也能学着享受英文阅读的乐趣。

　　人生中总有几个瞬间是命运的转折点，比如刚刚结束的高考，高考虽然结束了，可是人生一个又一个的门槛如同跨栏，我们都要全力以赴去拼搏，这时候读到今天这篇文章，主人公要选拔进入国家青年游泳队，作者感性的笔触捕捉到的几个心理活动让人读了热血沸腾，也想为自己的青春写下浓墨重彩的一笔。

　　What I understood-not later, but right then, in the water- was how little this swim added up to in the world. I had spent more than a year training for this one swim, and when it was finished, the world would be no different than before it began. If no one else cared, then the swim was mine alone. It mattered because it was the task before me now, the thing I wanted now.

　　我们辛苦准备，寒窗苦读，遇到对自己非常重要，太过在乎的那一次考试的时候，能冷静的想，这个世界在我考试之前和之后，照样运转，到头来一切都只是我自己，调整好心态，放下在乎别人看法的包袱，一切只是为自己而战。如果说这段文字捕捉了瞬间顿悟的心态，下面一段文字，真正能让人燃起斗志，放手一搏。

　　Swimming, I had long understood, is a constant choice between the now and the later, all those Friday nights spent in the pool in pursuit of an end that seemed always one step further on. I was out of latters, this was the end, and I made my choice. I cashed in the energy I set aside for climbing out of the pool and unfolding my towel and tying my shoes. I've never sprinted harder in my life, not before, not since.

　　明日复明日，明日何其多，这句话被用来激励珍惜当下，再合适不过了，只是用英文怎么说呢，这里给了我们最精辟简介的用法，I was out of latters. 胜败就在此一举了，this was the end，所以小伙伴们下定了决心了么。总是觉得还有以后，不妨想想歌词里说的，如果没有明天，你该怎么办呢。

　　这段描写的精彩之处还在于生动的把拼尽全力的一瞬间写了出来。Cash in，兑现，这里指的是我把预留(set aside)的最后一丝力气都预支了，爬出泳池打开毛巾和穿上鞋子的力气都提前耗尽了，是不是有用尽了洪荒之力的既视感。

　　今天带大家赏析的文字真的都非常燃，希望能给大家一点儿动力，获取更多的备考攻略、高分建议以及ACT写作都可以随时关注我们，我们将会给大家带来更多的优质内容。
