考研英语美文
导读：我根据大家的需要整理了一份关于《考研英语美文》的内容，具体 内容：经典美文作为中华文化的重要载体，是人们了解民族传统、接受优 秀民族文化熏陶的捷径。下面我整理了，希望大家喜欢！：美国人The AmericansAmerworking week trimmed to forty hours or less.

These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course , over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
三种***虽然简单，却异常强烈，它们统治着我的生命，那便是：对爱 的渴望，对知识的追求，以及对人
