各位尊敬的校领导、老师们，亲爱的同学们：
你们好!我是五<6>班的黄明智，今天我演讲的题目是《书是打开知识大门的钥匙》。
莎士比亚曾说：“生活里没有书，就好比大地没有阳光;智慧里没有书，就好比鸟儿没有翅膀。”受爸爸妈妈影响，我从小就养成了看书报的习惯。我每天放学的第一件事，就是赶紧拿起当天的报纸。
有一次，我看了一本有网络语言的书，就拿着书跑到爸爸面前说：“爸爸，我不想成为一个天才。”爸爸奇怪地问我为什么?我打开书，指着上面的解释给爸爸看∶天才—天生的蠢才。爸爸从书架上找出《新华词典》，让我查词典上的解释。词典上的解释却是：天才是有卓绝聪明才智的人。爸爸对我说：“如果你认真读书，从书中汲取有用的知识，爸爸相信你将来会成为一个很有才华的人。否则，你就真的可能变成那个所谓的‘天才’啦!”
我爱读书，每当我拿着一本新书的时候，就觉得有一种栩栩如生，会说话的美妙的东西进入了我的生活。在书中，我和尼摩船长驾驶着“***”号畅游海底两万里;和弗格森博士乘热气球横跨非洲探险，度过气球上的五星期;跟福克绅士历尽艰辛，八十天环游地球。我曾为卖火柴的小女孩伤心落泪，为丑小鸭变成白天鹅而拍手欢呼。
同学们!你们知道每天太阳为什么都东起西落吗?天空为什么是蓝色的吗?夏天蝉儿为什么会鸣叫吗?快打开书本吧，答案就在里面!
我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家!
Good morning, ladies and gentemen.
This is Li Hua from Senior Three. I’m here today to share with you a good lesson from an overseas Chinese student living in Germany. It is a true story.
After years of hard work, this Chinese student graduated with amazing academic achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even allowed the chance for an interview! The third time he was turned down, he couldn’t help telephoning the company to ask why they didn’t want him. The answer was simple, “We don’t hire dishonest people in Germany.”
What was wrong you might wonder? The truth is, shortly aften he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was easy to skip buying subway tickets. So, to save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway three times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits by dishonest means, but the truth will come out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honest is the best policy.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you!
My fellow and my friends；
Once I read a piece of news report. It says， ＂A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day. His brother， whose age excelled school age， was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother＇s pencil at his side. Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully， his little eyes were winking， and said to his brother seriously， ＂When will it thirty-second， brother？＂ The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile， ＂What are you going to do on that thirty-second？＂ ＂Papa promised me to send me to school，＂ said his younger brother. His brother， the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles. My God！ My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling. They were exhausted. How could they afford my younger brother＇s schooling？ Oh， thirty-second ...
My dear friends， hearing this， didn＇t you feel sorry for them？ We share the same native land， the same blue sky under the sun. Why cannot they be given lesson at school， sitting in the bright and big classroom？ We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country. But now the country＇s fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough. What should we do？ It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.
同胞们，朋友们：
我曾看过这样一则报道：＂某边远山区一个中学生，一天在家复习功课，一旁的已过入学年龄的小弟弟拿他的铅笔在纸上写着、涂着、画着，突然若有所思地仰起小脸，眨巴几下小眼睛，认真地问：＇哥哥，什么时候才到32号呀？＇这位中学生看看天真的小弟弟，笑着逗他：＇32号你要干啥？＇＇爸爸说，到32号才能送我去上学。＇中学生望着可爱的小弟弟，内心针扎般难受：天哪，父母为了供自己上学，整日操劳，身体都累垮了，哪还有能力再送弟弟上学？啊！32号......＂
朋友们，当你听了这个故事，你不感到痛心吗？同在一片故土上，同在一片蓝天下，为什么他们不能坐在宽敞明亮的教室里去读书？我们常说：国家要振兴，教育须先行。而我国的财力、物力都不宽裕，怎么办？这就需要全社会的人齐心协力为国家分忧，为国家出力！
Museums should be made free.In my eyes, museums of course should be made free.
We know that, as a part of culture, museums restore many culture relics. These are typical symbols for a certain times. As a citizen of our country, it is necessary and natural to learn our past history. Recent years, more and more museums are open free to the public. I couldn't agree more with it. Free museum will greatly motivate all kinds of people to approach. What's more, in this fast developing age, museums have many new and advanced invents inside. It will be a wonderful place for people who want to learn more. Parents can often take their children to museums to learn about history and some technical knowledge. In a word, I think government should try to make more museums free for citizens.
Low carbon life is a very environmental protection and civilization. my understanding is that of low carbon in daily life from yourself, from small start, minimize every possible cost. of course, low carbon is main or refers to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Actually, low carbon life from everyone very close, as long as pay more attention to some of the details, life can have to reduce energy consumption role. my life in some low carbon small doohickey of water-saving aspects is aims at. production tap water and wastewater treatment are to a significant amount of energy. so, water is energy saving.
For example; water may be used for washing a face wash the feet of water, wash clothes can be used to rinse dishcloth, clean the floor, then these wastewater can again to flush the toilet; water after washing vegetable can be used to water the flowers. dont look down upon these water reuse, accumulated, only a 3 home can save a ton per month above water.
In addition, if monthly wash clothes, so once per washer can save electricity, also saves power of the coal, also will reduce carbon emissions, if all the family can do monthly by hand to wash clothes, reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide once is 68.4 tons, can achieve this figure is very surprising. meanwhile, but use washing machine while holding with clothes to wash washing machine also can cause unnecessary waste.
So for us students have more ways energy-saving
Paper, save paper; use double-sided
Need not disposable chopsticks and disposable lunch box;
Need not disposable bags;
Reduce food waste;
The lights on, conveniently mind faucet.
Our earth needs we work together to love, let us start from around things, cherish resources, reduce the energy consumption and make our life more beautiful.
distinguished leaders, young friends:

Smile, how warm the word is! It can make anyone happy. And this happiness is from the bottom of heart.
It’s not like enthusiastic laughter, but just warm, makes your heart warm.
Mother’s smile is like a spring wind, so gentle when you are sad, it can make you happy again; when you fail, it can make you stand up and work hard again; when you give up, it can make you try your best again…
Smile, so easy, but also so useful.
| So, let’s learn to smile. Everyone needs others’ smile. When we give others a smile, we will feel happy, too. And maybe next time, when you need a smile, the person who received your smile will give it to you.
Let’s learn to smile often, I believe it can even make the whole warm. Living with a smile, every day will be sunshine.
There is a wonderful word which expresses the most original motions anddesires among human-beings. With solving any kind of imperfections, our worldhas moved ahead. This is the word “innovation” that we cannot afford tolose.
We chicaned every detail of the innovation. Thousands years before, wecreated fire when we took a stone to knock another one. Since Han Dynasty, fourgreat inventions had been created and it is one of the greatest signs that Chinabecome to the ancient civilized country. And nowadays, thousands of software,products, architectures and public facilities have upgraded more than that about100 years ago. So how did these happen? What will you do if you are notsatisfied with your tools anymore? What will you do if old mode cannot afford todevelop in a company? There is no doubt that we should innovate no matter wherewe are and what we do. Not because of the design itself, but actually for itsintended purpose.
If there was no Apple, everyone could not imagine how to contact otherseasily and enjoy a better Internet surfing.
If there was no Microsoft, perhaps we still worked in a dim office andduplicate some troublesome documents. If there was no Newton, and no theory ofgravity, maybe I will win the Nobel Prize like Newton rather than just standinghere. I have heard that three apple changed the world. The first one seducedEve. The second one awakened Newton. The third one was in the hands of SteveJobs. We sort of think the innovation of the world began with apple. I imaginelots of people want to become another Newton or Jobs right now with just onehand to change the world, right? Have the innovation to follow your heart. Itsomehow already reflects what you truly want to become. Everything else issecondary.
Via questioning, we can start to innovate. Via innovating, we can start tocreate better lives. No innovation, no improvement. No improvement, no success.And no success, no civilization. Now, our time is limited, so don't waste itliving someone else's life! Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown outyour own inner voice! Don't let yourself down! It is the innovation that wecannot afford to lose!
有一个美妙的词，表达了人类最原始的运动和欲望。解决任何不完美的问题，我们的世界已经向前发展。这是“创新”这个词，我们不能失去。
我们的每一个细节的创新诡计。几千年前，我们用石头打另一个火，我们生火。自汉代以来，四大发明创造出来，是中国古代文明的伟大标志之一。而如今，数以千计的软件、产品、建筑和公共设施已经超过100年前的升级了。那么这些是怎么发生的呢?如果你不满意你的工具，你会怎么做?如果老模式不能在一个公司中发展，你会做什么?毫无疑问，无论我们在哪里，我们做什么，我们都要创新。不是因为设计本身，而是为了它的目的。
如果没有苹果，每个人都无法想象如何与其他人接触，并享受一个更好的上网冲浪。
如果没有微软，也许我们在一个昏暗的办公室工作，并重复一些麻烦的文件。如果没有牛顿，没有理论的引力，也许我会赢得牛顿奖，像诺贝尔，而不是站在这里。我听说三个苹果改变了世界。第一个诱惑了夏娃。二人唤醒了牛顿。第三个是在史蒂夫·乔布斯的手中。我们认为世界上的创新始于苹果。我想象有很多人想成为另一个牛顿或工作的权利，现在只需要一方面改变世界，对不对?有创新，跟随你的心。它在某种程度上已经反映了你真正想要成为的。其他一切都是次要的。
通过质疑，我们可以开始创新。通过创新，我们可以开始创造更好的生活。没有创新，没有进步。没有进步，没有成功。没有成功，没有文明。现在，我们的时间是有限的，所以不要浪费时间去活别人的生活!不要让别人的意见淹没了你内心的声音!别让自己失望!这是我们不能失去的创新!

Stress comes in all shapes and size, and has become pervasive, it seems to penetrate everything and everybody, it's hard to get through a day without hearing or reading something about stress. Some doctors refer to stress as some kind of new plague. However, numerous surveys confirm that the problem has progressively risen since the 1980s. Why all the disorder? After all, stress has been around since Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. Without stress, there would be no life. However, just as distress can caw disease, there are good stresses that balance this, and promote wellness.
Increased stress results in increased productivity--up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. It's very much like the stress on a violin string. Not enough produces a dull. harsh sound. Too much makes sharp, annoying noir, or causes the string to snap. However, just the right degree can create magnificent tones. Similarly, we all need to find the proper level of stress that promotes optimal performance, and enables us to make harmonious music. Good health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and inseparability of mind/body relationships. In the next program. I hope you will join me in the pursuit of learning how to exploit stress, so that it can work for you. and make you more productive, rather than self-destructive.
Ronald Reagan: Remarks at the Brandenburg GateThank you.
Thank you, very much.
Chancellor Kohl, Governing Mayor Diepgen, ladies and gentlemen: Twenty four years ago, President John F.
Kennedy visited Berlin, and speaking to the people of this city and the world at the city hall.
Well since then two other presidents have come, each in his turn to Berlin.
And today, I, myself, make my second visit to your city.We come to Berlin, we American Presidents, because its our duty to speak in this place of freedom.
But I must confess, we’re drawn here by other things as well; by the feeling of history in this city -- more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald and the Teirgarten; most of all, by your courage and determination.
Perhaps the composer, Paul Linke, understood something about American Presidents.
You see, like so many presidents before me, I come here today because wherever I go, whatever I do: “Ich hab noch einen hoffer in Berlin” [I still have a suitcase in Berlin.]Our gathering today is being broadcast throughout Western Europe and North America.om their air-raid shelters to find devastation.
Thousands of miles away, the people of the United States reached out to help.
And in 1947 Secretary of State -- as youve been told --George Marshall announced the creation of what would become known as the Marshall Plan.
Speaking precisely 40 years ago this month, he said: Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos.In the Reichstag a few moments ago, I saw a display commemorating this 40th anniversary of the Marshall Plan.
I was struck by the sign on a burnt-out, gutted structure that was being rebuilt.
I understand that Berliners of my own generation can remember seeing signs like it dotted throughout the western sectors of the city.
The sign read simply: The Marshall Plan is helping here to strengthen the free world.
A strong, free world in the West, that dream became real.
Japan rose from ruin to become an economic giant.
Adenauer, Erhard, Reuter, and other leaders understood the practical importance of liberty -- that just as truth can flourish only when the journalist is given freedom of speech, so prosperity can come about only when the farmer and businessman enjoy economic freedom.
From 1950 to 1960 alone, the standard of living in West Germany and Berlin doubled.Where four decades ago there was rubble, today in West Berlin there is the greatest industrial output of any city in Germany -- busy office blocks, fine homes and apartments, proud avenues, and the spreading lawns of parkland.
Where a citys culture seemed to have been destroyed, today there are two great universities, orchestras and an opera, countless theaters, and museums.
Where there was want, today theres abundance -- food, clothing, automobiles -- the wonderful goods of the Kudamm.
From devastation, from utter ruin, you Berliners have, in freedom, rebuilt a city that once again ranks as one of the greatest on earth.
The Soviets may have had other plans.
But my friends, there were a few things the Soviets didnt count on -- Berliner Herz, Berliner Humor, ja, und Berliner Schnauze.
[Berliner heart, Berliner humor, yes, and a Berliner Schnauze.]In the 1950s -- In the 1950s Khrushchev predicted: We will bury you.
But in the West today, we see a free world that has achieved a level of prosperity and well-being unprecedented in all human history.
In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, *even want of the most basic kind -- too little food.
Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself.
After these four decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity.
Freedom replaces the ancient hatreds among the nations with comity and peace.
Freedom is the victor.*And now -- now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom.
We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness.
Some political prisoners have been released.
Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed.
Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control.*Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, *or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty -- the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.
General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate.
Mr.Gorbachev, open this gate.
Mr.Gorbachev -- Mr.Gorbachev, tear down this wall!I understand the fear of war and the pain of division that afflict this continent, and I pledge to you my countrys efforts to help overcome these burdens.
To be sure, we in the West must resist Soviet expansion.
So, we must maintain defenses of unassailable strength.
Yet we seek peace; so we must strive to reduce arms on both sides.
Beginning 10 years ago, the Soviets challenged the Western alliance with a grave new threat, hundreds of new and more deadly SS-20 nuclear missiles capable of striking every capital in Europe.
The Western alliance responded by committing itself to a counter-deployment (unless the Soviets agreed to negotiate a better solution) -- namely, the elimination of such weapons on both sides.
For many months, the Soviets refused to bargain in earnestness.
As the alliance, in turn, prepared to go forward with its counter-deployment, there were difficult days, days of protests like those during my 1982 visit to this city; and the Soviets later walked away from the table.But through it all, the alliance held firm.
And I invite those who protested then -- I invite those who protest today -- to mark this fact: Because we remained strong, the Soviets came back to the table.
Because we remained strong, today we have within reach the possibility, not merely of limiting the growth of arms, but of eliminating, for the first time, an entire class of nuclear weapons from the face of the earth.As I speak, NATO ministers are meeting in Iceland to review the progress of our proposals for eliminating these weapons.
At the talks in Geneva, we have also proposed deep cuts in strategic offensive weapons.
And the Western allies have likewise made far-reaching proposals to reduce the danger of conventional war and to place a total ban on chemical weapons.
While we pursue these arms reductions, I pledge to you that we will maintain the capacity to deter Soviet aggression at any level at which it might occur.
And in cooperation with many of our allies, the United States is pursuing the Strategic Defense Initiative -- research to base deterrence not on the threat of offensive retaliation, but on defenses that truly defend; on systems, in short, that will not target populations, but shield them.
By these means we seek to increase the safety of Europe and all the world.
But we must remember a crucial fact: East and West do not mistrust each other because we are armed; we are armed because we mistrust each other.
And our differences are not about weapons but about liberty.
When President Kennedy spoke at the City Hall those 24 years ago, freedom was encircled; Berlin was under siege.
And today, despite all the pressures upon this city, Berlin stands secure in its liberty.
And freedom itself is transforming the globe.In the Philippines, in South and Central America, democracy has been given a rebirth.
Throughout the Pacific, free markets are working miracle after miracle of economic growth.
In the industrialized nations, a technological revolution is taking place, a revolution marked by rapid, dramatic advances in computers and telecommunications.
In Europe, only one nation and those it controls refuse to join the community of freedom.
Yet in this age of redoubled economic growth, of information and innovation, the Soviet Union faces a choice: It must make fundamental changes, or it will become obsolete.Today thus represents a moment of hope.
We in the West stand ready to cooperate with the East to promote true openness, to break down barriers that separate people, to create a safer, freer world.
And surely there is no better place than Berlin, the meeting place of East and West, to make a start.
Free people of Berlin: Today, as in the past, the United States stands for the strict observance and full implementation of all parts of the Four Power Agreement of 1971.
Let us use this occasion, the 750th anniversary of this city, to usher in a new era, to seek a still fuller, richer life for the Berlin of the future.
Together, let us maintain and develop the ties between the Federal Republic and the Western sectors of Berlin, which is permitted by the 1971 agreement.
And I invite Mr.Gorbachev: Let us work to bring the Eastern and Western parts of the city closer together, so that all the inhabitants of all Berlin can enjoy the benefits that come with life in one of the great cities of the world.To open Berlin still further to all Europe, East and West, let us expand the vital air access to this city, finding ways of making commercial air service to Berlin more convenient, more comfortable, and more economical.
We look to the day when West Berlin can become one of the chief aviation hubs in all central Europe.
With -- with our French and British partners, the United States is prepared to help bring international meetings to Berlin.
It would be only fitting for Berlin to serve as the site of United Nations meetings, or world conferences on human rights and arms control or other issues that call for international cooperation.There is no better way to establish hope for the future than to enlighten young minds, and we would be honored to sponsor summer youth exchanges, cultural events, and other programs for young Berliners from the East.
Our French and British friends, Im certain, will do the same.
And its my hope that an authority can be found in East Berlin to sponsor visits from young people of the Western sectors.
One final proposal, one close to my heart: Sport represents a source of enjoyment and ennoblement, and you may have noted that the Republic of Korea -- South Korea -- has offered to permit certain events of the 1988 Olympics to take place in the North.
International sports competitions of all kinds could take place in both parts of this city.
And what better way to demonstrate to the world the openness of this city than to offer in some future year to hold the Olympic games here in Berlin, East and West.In these four decades, as I have said, you Berliners have built a great city.
Youve done so in spite of threats -- the Soviet attempts to impose the East-mark, the blockade.
Today the city thrives in spite of the challenges implicit in the very presence of this wall.
What keeps you here? Certainly theres a great deal to be said for your fortitude, for your defiant courage.
But I believe theres something deeper, something that involves Berlins whole look and feel and way of life -- not mere sentiment.
No one could live long in Berlin without being completely disabused of illusions.
Something, instead, that has seen the difficulties of life in Berlin but chose to accept them, that continues to build this good and proud city in contrast to a surrounding totalitarian presence, that refuses to release human energies or aspirations, something that speaks with a powerful voice of affirmation, that says yes to this city, yes to the future, yes to freedom.
In a word, I would submit that what keeps you in Berlin is love.Love both profound and abiding.
Perhaps this gets to the root of the matter, to the most fundamental distinction of all between East and West.
The totalitarian world produces backwardness because it does such violence to the spirit, thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship.
The totalitarian world finds even symbols of love and of worship an affront.
Years ago, before the East Germans began rebuilding their churches, they erected a secular structure: the television tower at Alexander Platz.
Virtually ever since, the authorities have been working to correct what they view as the towers one major flaw: treating the glass sphere at the top with paints and chemicals of every kind.
Yet even today when the sun strikes that sphere, that sphere that towers over all Berlin, the light makes the sign of the cross.
There in Berlin, like the city itself, symbols of love, symbols of worship, cannot be suppressed.
As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: This wall will fall.
Beliefs become reality.Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall, for it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand the truth.
The wall cannot withstand freedom.
And I would like, before I close, to say one word.
I have read, and I have been questioned since Ive been here about certain demonstrations against my coming.
And I would like to say just one thing, and to those who demonstrate so.
I wonder if they have ever asked themselves that if they should have the kind of government they apparently seek, no one would ever be able to do what theyre doing again.Thank you and God bless you all.
Thank you.
The past two days are special for the 7.23 million examinees and their parents. It is the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao in Chinese). Based on the current education system in China, the result of the two day exam greatly impacts the future of any students in China. The score will decide whether you can receive college education. For most places in China, only half of the students are eligible for college education (only 3.40 million will be admitted to colleges in 2019) and the rest has to start work after high-school. In cities like Beijing and Shanghai, students are lucky enough to have a much higher ratio (more than 70%) to enter colleges.
Tsinghua, Peking University, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University are among the first class in China. But only very few people can go there.
To enter a college or not, or to enter a good college or not directly impact the first offer they can get after graduate and impact their career. So it is the most critical time for students.
Isaac recorded the "No Honking During Gaokao" sign. I saw the same sign near Henan Rd. and Zhaojiabang Rd.. Not only honking is not allowed. All construction sites around schools were ordered to work in limited time in the recent 10 days. Thousands of policemen are working around schools to make sure there is no noise or traffic jam during the two important days. Taxi drivers even offer free ride to transport examinees and their family.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. It is my honor to be here to present my speech to you about the role of humanism in today’s technologically advanced world.
What’s the role of humanism today? At the first sight of this topic, I felt that I had a vision of walking along a dark passage to our destination, an ideal harmonious society. Humanism, is a lighthouse on this way to guide us in case we are getting lost, together with modern technology, we are well on our way toward our destination.
Like other young men, I love the internet. To be honest, I could not imagine a life without internet, which is a blessing taken by high technology. To some extent, it represents the whole world to me. I have registered some accounts on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Renren, Weibo and so forth. It’s really amazing because these network technologies make it possible for people all over the world to communicate with each other freely and conveniently.
However, there are two sides to the argument, so what of the internet. While it could lighten our life, it could also turn into evil. It started with some of these arguments—well, it is argument at first—then the situation seems out of control: people start to curse and scold each other just because they have different opinions. People became more and more aggressive, seditious, and insulting, and later on, with the “Human-flesh searching” involved, the situation gets even worse. Those are what we called “Network of violence”, they are still happening, and still going on.
It seems like that the internet frees us from the burden of our public identities so we should be our true, authentic selves online, except it turns out—who wouldn’t see that coming—that our true, authentic selves aren’t that fantastic.
The reason we define ourselves as human is because we have some natural instincts to care for and respect other people. In other words, we are pursuing the universal brotherhood, a peaceful world of free minds. It is humanism that keeps our society moving on and on.
As one of the most important inventions in our time, internet has changed the way of our life tremendously. It has changed the way we express and communicate with each other. It has made it possible for us to meet each other without distance; it has made it easier for us to know and to comprehend each other.
However not only some changes has it brought, but also brought on some challenges. Net has anarchy in its DNA, It’s always been about anonymity, playing with your own identity and messing with other people’s heads. It is a challenge, it challenges our self-discipline that we are proud of, it challenges our humanity that we are proud of. Sure technology promises us more freedom but it doesn’t mean that we should leave our civilization behind.
That’s why we need a guideline to light up our path, to lead us. In this technologically advanced world, what we need to do is to avoid the misuse of technology, but to take it as an accelerator, a lube or a navigator on our high way to create a better world, a harmonious society.
So don’t ever forget our aspiration, and always have faith in humanism, and we are going to make it happen, in this technologically advanced world! Yes! We can!
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
The power of yet.
专注过程，而不是结果。
I heard about a highschool in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses tograduate, and if they didn't pass a course, they got the grade "NotYet." And I thought that was fantastic, because if you get a failinggrade, you think, I'm nothing, I'm nowhere. But if you get the grade "NotYet" you understand that you're on a learning curve. It gives you a pathinto the future.
我听说，在芝加哥有一所高中，那儿的学生毕业前要通过一系列课程，如果某一门课没有通过，成绩就是「暂未通过」。我想，这真是个绝妙的做法，因为，如果你某门课的成绩不及格，你会想，我什么都不是，我什么都没有学到。但如果你的成绩是「暂未通过」，你会明白，学习的步伐并没有停下，你还需逐步向前，争取未来。
"Not Yet"also gave me insight into a critical event early in my career, a real turningpoint. I wanted to see how children coped with challenge and difficulty, so Igave 10-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. Some of them reactedin a shockingly positive way. They said things like, "I love achallenge," or, "You know, I was hoping this would beinformative."
「暂未通过」也让我联想起一件尤为重要的、发生在我职业生涯初期的事情，这件事对我而言是一个转折点。当时，我想探究孩子是如何应对挑战和困难的，因此，我让一些10岁大的孩子尝试解决一些对于他们而言稍稍偏难的问题。一些孩子积极应对的方式让我感到震惊。他们会这样说，「我喜欢挑战，」或说，「你知道的，我希望能有所获。」
They understood that their abilities could be developed.They had what I call a growth mindset. But other students felt it was tragic,catastrophic. From their more fixed mindset perspective, their intelligence hadbeen up for judgment and they failed. Instead of luxuriating in the power ofyet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now.
这些孩子明白，他们的能力是可以提升的。他们有我所说的成长型思维模式。但另一些孩子觉得面对这些难题是不幸，宛如面对一场灾难。从他们的固定型思维角度来看，他们的才智受到了评判，而他们失败了。他们不懂得享受学习的过程，而只盯住眼前的成与败。
So what do they donext? I'll tell you what they do next. In one study, they told us they wouldprobably cheat the next time instead of studying more if they failed a test. Inanother study, after a failure, they looked for someone who did worse than theydid so they could feel really good about themselves. And in study after study,they have run from difficulty.
这些孩子们后面表现如何?让我告诉你他们的表现。在一项研究中，他们告诉我们，如果他们某次考试未通过，他们很可能会在下次考试中作弊，而不是更加努力地学习。在另一项研究中，他们挂了一门后，他们会找到那些考得还不如他们高的孩子，以寻求自我安慰。后续的研究陆续表明，他们会逃避困难。
Scientists measured the electrical activity fromthe brain as students confronted an error. On the left, you see the fixedmindset students. There's hardly any activity. They run from the error. Theydon't engage with it. But on the right, you have the students with the growthmindset, the idea that abilities can be developed. They engage deeply. Theirbrain is on fire with yet. They engage deeply. They process the error. Theylearn from it and they correct it.
科学家们监测了学生们面对错误时的脑电活动图像。在左侧，是固定型思维模式的学生，几乎没有什么活动。他们在错误面前选择了逃避。他们没有积极地投入。但请看右侧，这是成长型思维模式的学生，这些学生相信能力会通过锻炼得以提升。他们积极地应对错误。他们的大脑在高速运转，他们积极地投入，他们剖析错误，从中学习，最终订正。
How are we raising ourchildren? Are we raising them for now instead of yet? Are we raising kids whoare obsessed with getting A's? Are we raising kids who don't know how to dreambig dreams? Their biggest goal is getting the next A or the next test score?
如今我们是如何教育孩子的呢?是教育他们专注眼前，而不是注重过程吗?我们培育了一些迷恋刷A的孩子们吗?我们培育了没有远大理想的孩子们吗?他们最远大的目标就是再拿一个A，心里所想的就是下一次考试吗?
And are they carrying this need for constant validation with them into theirfuture lives? Maybe, because employers are coming to me and saying, we havealready raised a generation of young workers who can't get through the daywithout an award.
他们在今后的生活中，都以分数的高低来评判自己吗?或许是的，因为企业雇主们跑来找我，说我们养育的这新一代走上工作岗位的人，如果不给他们奖励，他们一天都过不下去。
So what can we do? Howcan we build that bridge to yet?
我们该怎么做呢?如何让孩子注重过程而不是结果呢?
Here are some things wecan do. First of all, we can praise wisely, not praising intelligence ortalent. That has failed. Don't do that anymore. But praising the process thatkids engage in: their effort, their strategies, their focus, theirperseverance, their improvement. This process praise creates kids who are hardyand resilient.
我们可以做这样几件事。首先，我们可以有技巧地去表扬：不去表扬天分或才智，这行不通。不要再这样做了。而是要对孩子积极投入的过程进行表扬：他们的努力与策略，他们的专注、坚持与进步。对过程的表扬，会塑造孩子的韧性。
There are other ways toreward yet. We recently teamed up with game scientists from the University ofWashington to create a new online math game that rewarded yet. In this game,students were rewarded for effort, strategy and progress. The usual math gamerewards you for getting answers right right now, but this game rewardedprocess. And we got more effort, more strategies, more engagement over longerperiods of time, and more perseverance when they hit really, really hardproblems.
还有其他的办法来奖励过程。最近，我们与来自华盛顿大学的游戏研究者合作，制作了一款奖励过程的数学游戏。在这个游戏中，学生们因他们的努力、策略与进步而受到奖励。通常的数学游戏中，玩家只有在解得正确答案后才能得到奖励，但这个游戏奖励过程。随着游戏的深入，孩子们更加努力，想出更多的策略，身心更加投入，当遇到尤为困难的问题时，他们也展现了更为持久的韧劲。
Just the words"yet" or "not yet," we're finding, give kids greaterconfidence, give them a path into the future that creates greater persistence.And we can actually change students' mindsets. In one study, we taught themthat every time they push out of their comfort zone to learn something new anddifficult, the neurons in their brain can form new, stronger connections, andover time they can get smarter.
我们发现，注重过程的思维模式，会赋予孩子们更多自信，指引他们不断向前，越发坚持不懈。事实上，我们能够改变学生的思维模式。在一项研究中，我们告诉学生们，每当他们迫使自己走出舒适区，学习新知识，迎接新挑战，大脑中的神经元会形成新的、更强的连接，他们会逐渐变得越来越聪明。
Look what happened: inthis study, students who were not taught this growth mindset continued to showdeclining grades over this difficult school transition, but those who weretaught this lesson showed a sharp rebound in their grades. We have shown thisnow, this kind of improvement, with thousands and thousands of kids, especiallystruggling students.
看看后面发生了什么吧：在这项研究中，没有接受成长型思维模式训练的学生，在这一困难的过渡阶段，成绩持续下滑，但那些受过该训练的学生，成绩强势反弹，卓有起色。如今，我们已证实这一结论，通过成千上万个孩子的实例，尤其是那些在学业上挣扎的孩子。
So let's talk aboutequality. In our country, there are groups of students who chronically underperform,for example, children in inner cities, or children on Native Americanreservations. And they've done so poorly for so long that many people thinkit's inevitable. But when educators create growth mindset classrooms steeped inyet, equality happens.
那我们就来谈谈教育平等吧。在我们国家，有些特定区域的孩子总是在学业上处于下游，比如，内城区的孩子，或印第安人居留地里的孩子。长期以来这里的孩子都没什么起色， 以致于很多人认为没的救了。但是当教育家们将孩子的思维转变为成长型思维模式时，教育平等实现了。
And here are just a few examples. In one year, akindergarten class in Harlem, New York scored in the 95th percentile on theNational Achievement Test. Many of those kids could not hold a pencil when theyarrived at school. In one year, fourth grade students in the South Bronx, waybehind, became the number one fourth grade class in the state of New York onthe state math test. In a year to a year and a half, Native American studentsin a school on a reservation went from the bottom of their district to the top,and that district included affluent sections of Seattle. So the native kidsoutdid the Microsoft kids.
举几个例子吧。纽约哈莱姆区的一所幼儿园的学生在一年的时间内，国家水平测试(NationalAchievement Test) 成绩飞跃到前百分之五。这些孩子中有很多在入学时甚至还不会握笔。一年之内，远远落后的南布朗克斯区的四年级学生，其标准数学测试成绩攀升到纽约州所有四年级学生的第一名。在一年到一年半的时间内， 某印第安人居留地的一所学校里的学生成绩从全区垫底到名列前茅，而这个区包括了西雅图市的富饶地段。印第安孩子战胜了「微软」孩子。
This happened becausethe meaning of effort and difficulty were transformed. Before, effort anddifficulty made them feel dumb, made them feel like giving up, but now, effortand difficulty, that's when their neurons are making new connections, strongerconnections. That's when they're getting smarter.
这得以实现的原因，是努力与困难的意义在孩子心目中发生了改变。在此之前，努力与困难让他们感觉自己很笨，让他们想放弃，但如今，正是努力与困难让他们大脑中的神经元得以形成新的连接，更强的连接。正是在这个过程中，他们变得越来越聪明。
I received a letterrecently from a 13-year-old boy. He said, "Dear Professor Dweck, Iappreciate that your writing is based on solid scientific research, and that'swhy I decided to put it into practice. I put more effort into my schoolwork,into my relationship with my family, and into my relationship with kids atschool, and I experienced great improvement in all of those areas. I nowrealize I've wasted most of my life."
最近，我收到一个13岁男孩的来信。他说，「亲爱的德韦克教授，我欣赏你的著作，因为它们都基于可靠的科学试验，因此，我决定将你的方法付诸实践。我更用功地学习，更用心地处好与家人的关系，与同学的关系，而在这些方面我都有了长足的进步。现在我才意识到，过去浪费了太多生命。」
Let's not waste anymore lives, because once we know that abilities are capable of such growth, itbecomes a basic human right for children, all children, to live in places thatcreate that growth, to live in places filled with yet.
让我们不再浪费生命， 因为，既然我们知道 能力可以增长，那么，生活在一个能激发进步并让这一切变得可能的地方就是每个孩子的权利。
Thank you.(Applause)
谢谢。(掌声)
Recently,haze weather has become a daily one right here in large part of China.People are forced to wear the mask to avoid breathing poisonous air.So it is necessary to find out the reason why leads to that and work out the resolution.If we trace the cause for haze weather ,the main points are as follows ,first,china s air quality standards are rather lax and evaluation factors are limited,so you will see that current air appraisal system has defects.Second,some people just go for economic interests instead of turning out products according to relevant law and regulations.They tend to use obsolete equipment in which they are high likely to emit a great deal of wasted air.
Third,across our society ,relevant protection awareness has not built up so that people havent formed a habit of using green product and saving energy as much as possible.Just for the sake of convience to go out,people rely more and more on travelling and working of car while car is the main cause for the haze weather
To settle this problem,a series of meaures should be taken as follows.First ,we should strengthen air monitor to lower the levels of small particulate pollutants.Second,we should enact more strict laws and regulations and keep perfecting our current law on environmental protection to regulate people s daily action and the industrial production and punish those factories that ignore the protection and keep emitting dangerous material that cause haze.
Third,we should develop green and energy-saving energy to lower the emission of haze and improve air quality.As far as i am concerned ,if we work together to be able to do such measures ,our environment will getting better and better and haze weather will vanish completely.
They say that when you die your life flashes before your eyes。 Will you seeany-thing other than a small black box in the corner of your room? What have youchanged in th world? What will you leave behind?
据说人在临死前，自我的一生会从眼前闪过。除了房间角落里的一个黑色小盒子，你还能看到些什么呢?在这个世界上你改变了些什么?你又将留下些什么呢?
Or maybe you are surrounded by people all the time。duanwenw。 You are thecenter of attention and everybody loves you。 You go out with your friends，partying and having fun， but what about in the morning? You wake up with asevere headache and an upset stomach。 What about your death? Do you think it wastime to go?
或许你一向被众人所簇拥。你是众人的焦点，所有人都深爱着你。你跟朋友一齐外出参加聚会、玩乐，但到了早晨又是怎样的情形呢?你醒来时会觉得头疼得厉害，会感到胃里很难受。你会想到死亡吗?你会不会觉得自我难受得快要死掉了?
You could be the exact opposite。 You may want pany， but for whatever reasonnot have it。 Maybe you’re scared or shy。 You go home， lock yourself in yourroom， and sink into anger。
当然情景也可能正好相反。你期望有人作伴，但可能由于种.种原因，没有人陪在你身边。这可能是因为你很胆怯或是害羞。回到家里之后，你总是把自我锁在屋子里，一个人生闷气。
Are you an adventurer? Will your love of adventure lead to your end? Youcan never be quite sure when your heart and spirit will be broken。 All youradventures will one day be forgotten and it will all have been for nothing。
你喜欢冒险吗?你会一辈子酷爱冒险吗?你可能永远都无法确定自我会在什么时候感受到心灵的疲惫。但终有一天，你会忘掉所有的冒险经历，过去的一切都将荡然无存。
Or maybe you played it safe your entire life。 You outlived all thoseothers， but what for? You never did anything great; you never made anything ofyourself。 You’re alone in all your security， but that worth it? You just took upspace on th earth。
或许你安稳地度过了自我的一生。你比其他人更长寿，但那又有什么意义呢?你从未有过惊人之举;你从未完全按照自我的意愿行事。你孤独地、安稳地活着，但这样过一生值得吗?你仅仅只是以往存活于地球上而已。
They say that when you die， your life flashes before your eyes。 What willyou see?
据说人在临死前，自我的一生会从眼前闪过。你期望那时候自我能看到些什么呢?
You know, you know, we started this great effort on a sunny july morning in pinders corner on pat and liz moynihan's beautiful farm and 62 counties, 16 months, 3 debates, 2 opponents, and 6 black pantsuits later, because of you, here we are.
You came out and said that issues and ideals matter, jobs matter, downstate and upstate, health care matters, education matters, the environment matters, social security matters, a woman's right to choose matters. it all matters and i just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you, new york!
Thank you for opening up your minds and your hearts, for seeing the possibility of what we could do together for our children and for our future here in this state and in our nation. i am profoundly grateful to all of you for giving me the chance to serve you.
I will - i will do everything i can to be worthy of your faith and trust and to honor the powerful example of senator daniel patrick moynihan. i would like all of you and the countless new yorkers and americans watching to join me in honoring him for his incredible half century of service to new york and our nation. senator moynihan, on behalf of new york and america, thank you.
I promise you tonight that i will reach across party lines to bring progress for all of new york's families. today we voted as democrats and republicans. tomorrow we begin again as new yorkers.
And how fortunate we are indeed to live in the most diverse, dynamic and beautiful state in the entire union. you know, from the south bronx to the southern tier, from brooklyn to buffalo, from montauk to massena, from the world's tallest skyscrapers to breathtaking mountain ranges, i've met people whose faces and stories i will never forget. thousands of new yorkers from all 62 counties welcomed to me into your schools, your local diners, your factory floors, your living rooms and front porches. you taught me, you tested me and you shared with me your challenges and concerns - about overcrowded or crumbling schools, about the struggle to care for growing children and aging parents, about the continuing challenge of providing equal opportunity for all and about children moving away from their home towns because good jobs are so hard to find in upstate new york. now i've worked on issues like these for a long time, some of them for 30 years, and i am determined to make a difference for all of you.
You see, i believe our nation owes every responsible citizen and every responsible family the tools that they need to make the most of their own lives. that's the basic bargain. i'll do my best to honor in the united states senate.
And to those of you who did not support me, i want you to know that i will work in the senate for you and for all new yorkers. and to those of you who worked so hard and never lost faith even in the toughest times, i offer you my undying gratitude.

Hello! I wonder whether everybody knows the meaning of these two words of " energy-conservation " and " low carbon "? I assume as a matter of course and know. Does " energy-conservation " save the energy? Does " low carbon " reduce carbon emission? Yes, it is really simple. We often chat about them. But, do you really understand them? Have they really taken root on your bottom of heart deeply?
Once, the Earth mother left our rich energy to cause us to be jubilant, sighed on Earth's energy inexhaustible, inexhaustible, now, the newest statistics indicated, the petroleum will dry up after 60 years, the coal also might supply the humanity to use for 250 years; Once, developed first, the environment question the situation which neglected is often occurred, now, the sustainable development, was together harmoniously with the nature the biggest topic.Not difficult to see, the environment question in is taken unceasingly by the people.For all this, the environment question was still stern, the energy conservation reduced the platoon, the low-carbon lives imminently.At the Copenhagen climate congress, this affects the human destiny the question slowly to be unable to reach the agreement actually.In the life, is driving the great displacement automobile, purchases including the fluorine air conditioning, the refrigerator, including the phosphorus laundry powder, turns on the air conditioning the low temperature also one side to bind in the summer the quilt, the daylight lamp is being long all night clearly, water cock water drop sound day and night not rest.These influence environment phenomenon common occurrence.This is rebels with ours position. American President Kennedy has said: Do not have to ask the country can make any for us, must ask first oneself can make any for the country.The low-carbon life needs everybody to participation!
The low-carbon life first is one kind of life manner.So long as wants, each person may be able to achieve! The electricity saving, saves gas and oil, the solar terms, saving water, the tree-planting, makes use of waste, by step generation of vehicle.The intravenous drip, in life each aspect, all may choose the low-carbon life the manner.The low-carbon life is also representing one kind healthily, the more natural life style.Little eats counter-season food, the generation by works as season food; Little uses the disposable product, the generation by the duplicated things; Little rides an overhead traveling crane, little sits one time the elevator, the generation rides the bicycle, crawls the staircase, while falls the low-carbon withdrawal, we will have a healthier body and mind.
We believed, so long as everybody works as one, participation together, humanity's tomorrow certainly will be able to be happier! Schoolmates, today, your low-carbn.
I was born in an ordinary family, but I never feel lacking anything in mylife. I receive love from my family. When I meet troubles, they support mewithout hesitation. The strong connection of kinship provides me the great powerto move on.
Chinese people pay special attention to the family reunion. No matter how faraway they are, the family members will come home and have big dinner ontraditional festivals. The meal means so much for everyone. People enjoy themoment to have communication with each other and strengthen the relationship.
With the family’s support, we will be a strong person, no matter how hard thelife is. When we meet difficulties, it is natural for us to think about ourfamilies, as they give us the motivation to get over the hard time. If we aretired, just go home and talk to our parents, then all the annoyances will beforgotten and they mean nothing to you compared to the kinship.
The close kinship is the infinite power to lead us a positive life. I cherishall the love they give me.
in 1999 , i was born, unluckily, i got the very serious pneumonia and suffered a lot. my mother said: ‘until now she still remembers my smiling face with tears on it. she told me that when i grow up, i should be a strong-minded and optimistic girl. during the ten years, i have been experiencing a lot with my country
in , china no. 5 spaceship was successfully launched发射into space! in yangliwei’s hometown, we took a photo. you can see on my t-shirt, it is written ‘what is love’ at that time, i didn’t quite understand the sentence, but with the time passing, i begin to know its meaning.
in , i went to the primary school, since then i started a very important step in my life. in , i worked hard and got my first
certificate —cambridge english level 1 with the score of 14 owing that it was , there were a great number of things in this year. first, the olympic games were successfully held in our country. second, i got the first prize in hainxin cup competition. but there was a bad thing--the earthquake in wenchuan, in the disaster, we felt our country’s love.
now it is , i’m growing up with country, little by little i
understand what love is—love is to help other people and help myself!

The are 56 teachers working for my school,8 male teachers and 48 female teachers .There are 850 students who are in the kindergarten and in the secondary school.
There are some labs in my school : mathematics lab, science lab, computer room and English sound lab.
The special activities groups are Artist, Dancing, English , and Music .It is done in the last period of Tuesday.
And we also have a big library, which is necessary for the classes. It is quite a good room, clean , tidy and with lots of
interesting books for reading.
We learn 8 subjects in our school: Thai, mathematics, science, history, social, art , health and English. The daily program of the school is:
School begins at 8:15 a.m. All the students are in groups doing national activities ,and the students also learn spelling before going back to the classes.
The first class starts by 9:00 a.m. There are subjects in the morning from 9 to 12and then we stop for lunch for one hour. We have more classes from 1 p.m. and finish them at 4 p.m. The students go back home from school at around 4:30 everyday. My school is lucky to have many e_perienced teachers. They are excellent teachers who make us excellent. We feel warm and happy when we are in school because of teachers’ goodness and patience. So the students are willing to go to school everyday. And I love my teachers very much too. I want to become a good person and do the right things as my teachers want.
My school stands on an small area of land though, there are 4 big buildings used for the students’ classrooms. Three of them are made of concrete and one another ,the oldest one is made of wood.
I would like to tell you about each of them. The first two
buildings which have three floors with 9 big rooms .One is for students of grade 4,5and 6 ,and the other is for grade seven to nine. The third building which has two floors contains 6 classes for the students grade two to three. And this building is the oldest one in my school.
The fourth building only have two floors too, which is smaller than the others.
There is a big Buddha put in front of the school for us to respect when we arrive at school.
I’ve just remembered the kindergarten is at the back of school. It is ne_t to the canteen and the farm.
Our school can provide students with clean drinking water. There are many green trees around school to make it a better place for studying.
The students in my school study very hard. Every year ,some of them can win the competitions ,and our parents are proud of us.
At last, I want to say :I feel really happy studying in this school . It is the first school I attended .I have never been to any other schools before and I don’t know how different they are, but I am very proud to be a student here and when I have my own children in the future ,I will take them to this school too.
the world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. for example , forest destruction results in decrease of planting land and unpleasant weather. in addition, man is faced with problems of water pollution and air pollution.
a lot of measures have been taken. planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment. besides, laws concerning environmental protection have been put into effect and achieved good results.
however, the problem of environmental protection remains far from being solved. on the one hand, the environment pollution and destruction are getting worse and worse in the modern world. on the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem. in a word, there is a long way to go before we enjoy a clean and comfortable world.

Sara,
who comes from Canada, is our Oral English teacher. She is loved and respected by many students. What influences me most is that she is warm-hearted, generous and easy-going. She always stays optimistic and tries hard to understand every of her student. Besides, she often tells us some interesting stories and jokes in class, so as to make a happy atmosphere for us to study English. She loves teaching so much and has the eagerness to devote her life to Education. Because of her outstanding achievements, she had won lots of rewards, one of which is “Model Teacher” prize.
What qualities do you think a friend should have to continue the friendship? Use specific reasons to support your idea.
In my heart, I think the most important quality to continue the friendship is sincerity. A true friendship must be built on sincerity. However, to continue a friendship is not a easy thing. Both of each other have to pay a lot. The word sincerity contains too much. Firstly, we need to be frank and honest to each other. Only if when we did so can the other side treat us like the same and thus build belief between friends. A friendship full of lies and deceit shouldn't be called friendship. Secondly, we need to be considerable and do not be self-centered. We should think more for our friends and encourage them on certain occasion. A self-centered friend can be very troublesome and annoying. No one would tolerate him for a long time. Finally, I think we should learn to compromise sometimes. We can't live in harmony forever with our friends. When there expose a disagreement, we should compromise to each other. Only by this way can a friendship last long.

你认为一个朋友应该有什么品质继续友谊?使用具体原因来支持你的想法。
在我心中,我认为最重要的品质继续友谊是真诚。真正的友谊必须建立在真诚之上。然而,继续友谊不是一件容易的事情。彼此都需要支付很多。诚信这个词包含了太多。首先,我们需要彼此坦率而诚实的。只有当我们这样做可以另一边同样对待我们像,从而建立朋友间的信念。友谊充满了谎言和欺骗不应该叫做友谊。其次,我们需要相当大的,不要以自我为中心。我们应该更多的为我们的朋友,鼓励他们在某些场合。一个以自我为中心的朋友会很麻烦的,烦人。没有人会容忍他很长一段时间。最后,我认为我们应该学会妥协。我们不能永远活在和谐与我们的朋友。暴露有分歧的时候,我们应该相互妥协。只有这样,友谊才能长久。
Hello, everyone, I’m Liu Dongdong. I’m a student. There are three people in my family—my father, mother and I.
My father is 40 years old. He is a worker. I think he is a good worker. Because he works very hard. He gets up very early every day and he works for more than 10 hours a day. So he is always busy, he looks very tired when he gets 小学 home. He likes reading newspapers. He usually reads it after supper. So he gets lots of news.
My mother is 38 years old. She is a worker too. She works in a very small factory. She is not tall and she has two big eyes. She loves me and she is good for me. She always buys some books for me. She wants me to be a top student. She also cares for my diet and life.
I’ m 15 years old. I wear glasses. I like reading. I always read books after school. I like singing, too. My favorite singer is Jay Chou. His music is very nice. What do you think of him? I also like making friends. If you want to meet me, please write to me.
Oh, my parents love me and I love them, too. My family is a happy family.
It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it unwisely. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money which often succeed. So it is with happiness. If you pursue it by means of drink, you are forgetting the hang-over. Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian, and most people would need something more vigorous. For most people, the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be incompatible with happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the material conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, nevertheless, are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the fault must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on impulse, and are happy as long as external conditions are favorable. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an occasional night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too apt to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount objective, and restrain all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example. Many rich ladies, although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure in literature or art, decide to be thought cultured, and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight, not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism.
If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common. The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence. Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family. Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them. But there are many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure. Many men who spend their working life in the city devote their weekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty.
The whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion, been treated too solemnly. It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion. Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recovery, just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill. But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without a theory. It is the simple things that really matter. If a man delights in his wife and children, has success in work, and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be. If, on the other hand, he finds his wife fateful, his childrens noise unendurable, and the office a nightmare; if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen----a different diet, or more exercise, or what not.
Man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think. This is a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself disbelieve it. Unhappy businessmen, I am convinced, would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.

Dear teachers and students：
hello everyone!
The title of my speech is "happy to see life, smile to welcome life".
In the journey of life, we often encounter setbacks and failures and fall into all kinds of unexpected difficulties. At this time, please don't feel inferior and don't easily say: I can't do it. We should treat life with a positive and optimistic attitude, have the courage to cheer ourselves up and say to ourselves: great.
There is such a story that the father's son's grades were mediocre and the family was "in constant war" all day. In the sound of scolding, his son's grades fell again and again, and finally became the penultimate first. My father thought, it's no use beating and scolding anyway. Just try a different attitude. So he looked at his son's test paper and said with a smile, "great, really great!" The son was surprised. The father said, "you think, a person who runs last doesn't have to worry that others will surpass him, but as long as you work hard, you will surpass others." After hearing this, his son suddenly realized that he worked very hard in his future study. After several exams, his son's grades rose to the top. From this story to see our study, we should be inspired: the exam is not ideal, depressed, we might as well say "great!" Because the exam points out our weakness in study and tells us the direction of our efforts.
It's better to find problems now than to stumble and wake up in the middle school entrance examination. Failure put an end to yesterday, a new life begins here, and success takes off from here. Let's say "great" to ourselves in the face of setbacks. For us growing up, ups and downs are nutrition, and setbacks are the best university in life. Let's say "great" to ourselves in the face of difficulties. In overcoming difficulties, we continue to mature.
As long as we are worthy of ourselves and our parents, let us treat our study and life with an optimistic attitude, constantly strive to forge ahead and write a brilliant movement of life!
Thank you!
亲爱的先生/女士，
我问是你学校的教学方法和你是好学生在这方面知名。
我一直在北京任教的中学三年英语。我永远不会厌倦了我的工作或我的学生。我喜欢在有趣的经验教训作出了很多更有趣，使枯燥和教训少一些。所以我一直对如何改善我的教学激烈，通过阅读努南，哈珀和威多森和参加外国教师讲课。
我明白，良好的英语老师就是一个很好的演讲者和作家。这就是为什么我做了很多工作，以提高我的耳朵和舌头和手所有的时间。我从来没有一天不通过后，英国广播公司说。我说在大多数情况下日常英语。到了晚上，当我喜欢我的退休和隐私，我的座位在自己的电脑前，开始写我的日记。我从来没有用完的东西或条件，但无可否认，有时短的时间。这非常有趣使用电脑写作，这必将冲击肖和莎士比亚。
我会阅读有关英语教学，或英语教学重要的书籍，正与所有重要的思想和人的朋友。当然，我会写一些论文，被公布与否。这将是我的荣幸能在老师的研究项目1宗。我知道这是可能的。
你的诚然，
简奥斯汀
