雅思閱讀美文賞析：青春不是生命的一瞬
Youth
is not a time of life，it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees， it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions.it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.whether 60 or 16, there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game ofliving. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, you and I will remain young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are upto catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may have young heart at 80.
青春不是生命的一瞬，它是一種自然的心境;青春不是如花的臉龐、鮮紅的嘴唇和健康柔潤的雙腿，它是一種意志、想象、精力，更是生命中那生機勃勃的春天。
青春是沖動的勇敢而不是懦弱，青春是挑戰的欲望而不是安逸的生活。即使年過花甲，仍壯心不已。沒有人癡長百歲，而伴隨著的是我們拋卻幻想，錘煉生活的經歷。
歲月讓我們的皮膚起了皺紋，但缺乏會讓我們的靈魂萎縮。焦慮、恐懼、缺乏自信則讓心稽首，更讓心靈的青春塵封無論60歲還是16歲，我們每個人都有著天生的好奇心、孩子般刨根追底不厭其煩的渴求欲望、幻想游戲人生的生活方式。在你我心中有著心靈的默契：只要我們的心還能從人們的身上和大自然的懷抱中感受到美麗、希望、快樂、勇氣和力量，那么我們依舊年輕無限。
當幻想破滅，而你憤世嫉俗，對生活充滿悲觀情緒，那么你已經老了。即使在20歲的時候，只要你積極樂觀的追求你心中的幻想，一直到永遠，那么你在80歲的時候仍有一顆永保青春的心。
