這一定是世間無數對夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。它使人想起一條平靜的溪流，蜿蜒暢遊過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最後注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太過沉默，太過不動聲色，你會突然感到莫名的不安。也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時代，這想法對我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什麼。我承認這種生活有社會價值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的衝動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激，我願意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘。
中學生英語朗誦稿（4）：
what kind of world is it my friend
that little children see?
i wonder if they see god first
because they just believe?
do they see strength in caring eyes
who watch them as they play -
or maybe love through gentle hands
that guide them on their way?
do you think they dream of future times
when they would be a king -
or just enjoy their present life
while with their friends they sing?
do they see the acts of kindness
done for people who are poor?
is the very best in everyone
what they are looking for?
and when the day is over,
as they close their eyes to sleep,
do they look forward to tomorrow
with its promises to keep?
if this is what the children see,
then it should be no surprise,
the world would be a better place
if we all had children's eyes.
