no young man believes he shall ever die. it was a saying of my brother's,and a fine one. there is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amendfor everything. to be young is to be as one of the immortal gods. one half oftime indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all itscountletreasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopesand wishes. we make the coming age our own-
the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea airwhich we regard not. others may have undergone, or may still be liable tothem-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. asin setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-
bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as weadvance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations.nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet foundno obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever.we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; andfeel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do notforesee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the naturalcourse of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is thesimplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so tospeak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and ourpassions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. ourshort-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is anindissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, norseparation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of ourwayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe aroundus0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead ofwhich it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind withtheir magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that wehave no room for the thoughts of death.
The first time in life? Then grasp your chance with your perfectperformance on the dating night, by learning the following principle inheart.
Dress properly. While everyone wants to give an impressive debut on thefirst date, you should avoid wearing something too bizarre to be accepted. Ifyou are still in school, a sportswear can fulfill your purpose. For businessmanor grownups, casual clothes are recommended. Never put up your workinguniforms,no matter how well you like that Armani suit. It is no work. A fewaccessories such as a pair of sunglasses or silver loops on the wrist can add upto the romance sphere.
Take a bath before dating. And if you like, spray a little perfume, butunless you're sure that he or she likes the smell,don't use ones that are toostrong.
Watch your manner. You're no prince of the Scotland nor Cinderella in thelegend. Proper manners will ensure a lasting relationship while bad ones scareaway your sweetheart. And do make sure you do not boast about your fortune, for,not everyone are green addicts. And your way of smiling, or your greatestoath,should neither be "coy" nor "by St. Loy!" after the nun in Chaucer.
Be a little sensitive than merely innocent. Do make sure you do not intrudehis or her privacy on the first date. For there maybe something deeply concealedwithin the inner core of every heart, of which the owner doesn't share oftenwith anyone but his intimacy.
Finally, wish you good luck. May you get your hearts combined and start anew journey in the miracle of life and love. Stay tuned till a borderline isreached, and keep on through out the whole way.

To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How tosucceed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers innowadays.
We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there willalways be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When theyappear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer.We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really knowhow hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs.Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed inherself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She provedthat she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We shouldlearn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences thatbelieve in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with asmile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.
The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get overthe troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always getnervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, theresults are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, theresults turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself,keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achievemore.
Good afternoon, everyone. It’s my great honor to stand here and give you a short speech. My topic is “Never give up”. Now let’s begin.
Have you seen a film named Titanic, I believe no one will shake head. It’s a film about how the ship Titanic sank into the sea in that time. It is very exciting. But I am quite interested in the story of the film, Jack and Rose’s story. I can learn some deeper things from it.
After the ship hit an iceberg and sank into the sea. Jack and Rose and other people fell into the cold sea water. As the weather was getting colder and colder, they were gradually stepping into death. Jack asked Rose to promise him not to give up the hope of life. At last, Jack was dead, and Rose had a narrow escape, because she listened to Jack and didn’t give up.
As for us, we will never be in the sank Titanic and do not insist on waiting for the rescue of others, but, in reality, never give up is still necessary and much more important.
In the race of life, there is no doubt that we will go through ups and downs, peaks and valleys, and joys and sorrows. When confronting adversities, someone feels blue and frustrated, declining to struggle one more time. However, there are some people holding fast to their original dreams, making relentless determinations to overcome life’s challenges and become respectable. In face of obstacles, they practice the spirit of “never give up” and eventually mount the winner’ stand.
Never give up the hope of life is high level thing, but we are obliged to do it bit by bit. No matter how life treats us, we shouldn’t give up the possibility of success, even if we are refused thousands of times, even if we are acting in adversity. We couldnt, wouldnt and shouldnt give up. In short, never give up is necessary and much more important in our life. Only holding the spirit can we achieve our goals and taste the sense of the success.
That’s all. Thank you for your attention.
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental 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 wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
Whether 60 of 26 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are 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 up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
That?s all !

Today's speech I want to talk to my classmates about a few stories, thesestories are in our side, but we have never noticed, thinking.
One night last semester, go alone to five teaching self - study. Fatigue tohis eyes faint, faint yellow light trance to see a little boy shuttle betweentables and chairs, those hands links to pick up the garbage in the table bucket.Looking back, his mother is holding a large woven bag, came and took thegarbage. Mother and son of the shadow under the irradiation of a group of lightsappear very long, repeated, fade out of the classroom. I just looked at, whatseems to be thinking, so for a long time.
A small thing in life study, let me look at yourself again. His little badhabits, bring others? Shouldn't we be good young people who love school andlife? How can we indulge in the erosion of negative energy on us? I have asked afew students, how don't you remember to take away the garbage generated byself-study in class? Most students are vacant answer, not someone to accept?
Some of our own little habits, little laziness. Slowly become entrenchednegative energy, we didn't even notice, slowly accustomed to. Our youth, we areyoung, but ignorance is not synonymous with youth and youth.
Classmate, don't know if you have ever met this kind of situation, onenight, you are going to carry a bag to the library to study, is shouting to letthe dormitory of several other elder brothers go with you, at that time, aclassmate said: " oh, boy, the sun came out to the west, you should go to thelibrary, don't pack! " you hesitated, thinking about next week's exam, orthinking about to go to the library self-study make-up class, so, you are goingto go, then another voice rang:" hurry up to open the computer, hero league opena black shop sent a person ah, how can you do without! " at this time, yousilently put down the bag, opened the computer, just study the idea of abruptwas left behind ...
The word " positive energy" students are familiar with, its network meaningrefers to all give people up, give people hope and pursuit, make people actionmotivation and feelings. As a contemporary college student, I think we should bea positive energy person, at the same time, also should make friends withpositive energy, in each other's communication, let positive energy togetherinto a larger upward force, so that college life more positive. " true, good,beautiful" has always been as a synonym for positive energy, specific to collegelife, positive energy also covers a lot of meaning: for example, pay attentionto social welfare undertakings, to participate in social practice, let lovetransfer, so that their lives are sublimated; In the face of setbacks and lifeis not the best, to be able to persevere, with a positive attitude to face; Inthe study, be able to persevere, hard work, perseverance; Be a responsibleperson, able to understand their responsibilities, parents' expectations andsocial expectations. My classmates, my story is not over yet.
After that night, I often talked to my classmates about the experience,everyone also have feelings. Gradually, I found that after class we didn't leavethe classroom in such a hurry, but scanned the table bucket, conveniently taketheir garbage. I feel a positive energy in the spread, everyone has a sunshineand beautiful heart. In the dormitory, inner remorse let me I can no longercontinue to play games like this, I flatly cutting away. One day, two days, Ialso saw them in the study room, we smiled at each other. The original transferof positive energy is not difficult. Young people always have all kinds ofideas, the oath of youth will always be on the lips. No matter where can reflectthe vitality of our young people, and the university is a place where youngpeople gathered most. There will be more things, and the inside of the idea willbe more rich.
Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling ofparticipating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more thana mere competition or contest. It is an assembly of some of China's mosttalented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that arepreparing themselves for the coming of a new century.
I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historicmoment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious lookback at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for thisnation as well.
Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, andonly a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root ofa spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past15 years.
In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who workedvery hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.
The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected alot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evadeher so as to get more time to enjoy myself. One day before the final exam, shecame up to me and said, "Could you please explain this to meI want very much todo better this time. " I started explaining, and finished in a hurry.
Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off quickly. Natsurprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. And two months later, at thebeginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. No oneever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgivemyself. I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "Why didn'tyou do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for youWhy didn't youunderstand a little better the trust placed in you, so that I would not have toleave this world in such pain and regret"
I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was thevery starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word"responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly,for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need andtrust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the veryfoundation of human society.
Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures. But never againdid I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes myheart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power tofulfill my responsibilities as best I can.
As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similarones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find thatsociety, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. New buildings, newcommodities and new fashions appear every day.
New ideas, new information, new technologies. People can talk with eachother from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. Society is becomingmore competitive.
Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and morepeople are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Such is the era in whichthis generation ,grows and matures.
Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from ourfathers and learn to run it. Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.
We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of peoplelooking on and not assisting. We hear that there are still about 1 millionchildren in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools whileenormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxurycars.
We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines,that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many peoplebelieve, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at theexpense of morality and responsibility.
Such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keenersense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think criticallyand act creatively.
Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clearperception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to takeaction and solve the problems. History has long been preparing these qualitiesin this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to ourpatriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.
Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinarystudent. Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. But thisdoesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility anddevoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningfuland worthwhile life that I will be living.
Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which hasachieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom willnot attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered byposterity. But that doesn't discourage us any, because we
know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to seewhere this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fiercecompetition.
I can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the sameopportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopefulworld tomorrow.
It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to thechallenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom andpassion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier landfor every one of us.
We are not going to evade that responsibility. We are going to let peopledown. And people, far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to theirbackbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So letus go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet thenew century in victory and glory.
站在台上面对大家，我心情十分激动。好像是在参加一次历史性的长征。我们今天面对的远不只一场竞赛或角逐。这是才华出众，生气勃勃的中国青年的一次聚会。我们是青年一代的代表。为迎接新世纪的到来，我们正在从各方面作好准备。
在这一历史时刻，能有机会代表同龄人在此认真地回顾于国于己都至关重要的过去的15年，我感激万分。
尽管只能谈谈个人经历，而且只涉及其中一个小小的片段，但我相信，它仍然折射出对我和在过去15年间一同成长起来的青年人都不可缺少的一种思想基础。
我上小学时，班上有位小姑娘，学习非常刻苦而成绩却不尽人意。
老师要我帮助她。看得出，她也寄厚望于我。但我那时还是个小男孩，坐不住，不懂事。我老是ME避她。以便有更多时间自己玩。
期末考试前一天，她来求我说“请你给我讲解一下行吗这次我很想考得好一点。”我开始给她讲解，不一会儿便草草收场，假装没有察觉她迷茫的眼神，一溜烟儿地跑开了。不出所料，这次她又考砸了。两个月后，新学期依始，传来她死于血癌的消息。我没有完成那项小小的任务，无人知晓。但我却不能原谅自己。她的'眼睛令我难以忘怀，仿佛在责问我，“你为什么不愿多帮助我呢这对于你来说，并不费事。你为什么不能理解我对你的信赖，而让我带着痛苦和遗憾离开这个世界”
我当时才八、九岁。但从某种意义上讲，这件事成了我生活的新起点。因为我开始体会到“责任”二字的意义，并尽心尽力地学着完成自己的义务。我也逐渐领会了这个神圣字眼的深刻内含:人与人之间的彼此需要和信任、合作和依赖正是人类社会存在的基础。
之后，我在生活中又经受过多次失败，但那小姑娘之死所引起的懊悔，心里却不曾再现。想到自己做每一件事都能尽职尽责，一种满足之感便油然而生。
此事及类似的多起事件改变了我，完善了我。当我长大成人，我开始领悟周围发生的一切变化。我发现，从某种意义上说，社会跟我一样，正处在一个自我完善的时期。新建筑、新商品、新款式一天一个样。新思维、新信息、新技术层出不穷。即便万里相隔，人们在转瞬之间即可相互交谈。社会竞争越演越烈。
人们越来越强调个性和创造性。越来越多的人因工作努力而受到奖赏。这就是当今的时代，一代新人由成长迈入成熟的时代。这是我们这一代人接替父辈治国安邦的时代。然而，我们也面临很多间题。
据悉，坏人在光天化日之下作恶，周围的群众居然袖手旁观，无动于衷。我还听说，目前我国尚有100万儿童连小学也上不起，而巨额资金却拿去举办奢侈的宴会和购置豪华的轿车。
我们常常买的是劣质药品，或名曰药品实为一文不值的废物，非但不能除病去痛，反而会使
病情加重。在某些人看来，世上金钱最宝贵，只要能赚钱，不惜牺牲道德和责任。
因而，这个时代赋予我们的是更强烈的竞争和效率意识，使我们更善于批判性地思考和创造性地行动。
此外，这个时代要求我们这一代人必须认清自己肩负的历史重任，下定决心，采取行动，解决上述问题。长期以来，历史一直在我们这一代人身上培养着这些品质。现在，历史呼唤我们挺身而出，以实际行动向全民族及全人类证实我们的拳拳爱国之心和大无畏的英雄主义。
此刻，我站在讲台上回顾15年来的学生生活。今后的岁月，我很可能平平淡淡地度过。但这丝毫不会让我心灰意冷。因为我知道，凭借强烈的责任感和精益求精的不懈奋斗，我将追求一种有意义的生活，一种不枉此生的生活。
此刻，我站在讲台上回顾过去，15年来祖国取得的巨大成就激励着千千万万的同龄人。我们之中大多数人将与名利和权力无缘。只有极少数人或许会后世留芳。对此我们丝毫也不会在意。因为我们知道，世界在观望，世界在倾听。在这个大量机遇和激烈竟争并存的时代，我们国家究竟去向何方，整个世界都在关注。
我永远不会忘记班上那位小姑娘。她本应该却没能和在座各位一样享受今天美好的人生和明日充满希望的世界。
接受新世纪的挑战，把我们的血汗、智慧和热情奉献给建设祖国、造福人民的伟大历史事业。这就是我们这一代人的神圣职责。
我们决不逃避责任，决不辜负人民的期望。我们的业绩将四海传扬。我们的故事将被反复讲述，定会令人惊叹不已，以至热泪盈眶。
有幸与时代为伍的朋友们，让我们勇往直前，以胜利的姿态迎接光辉灿烂的新世纪的来临!
Quit making excuses! Making excuses or blaming others for any situation inyour life is nothing more than playing the victim.
停止编造借口!无论生活中发生何种情况，编造借口或责怪他人无非是一种假扮受害者的行为。
Take responsibility! Make your life decisions, and if you don’t, then it’syour fault. You are a spiritual being in a physical body, and your spirit shouldrun your life. Take it back! Make today the day you quit playing the victim bymaking excuses and blaming others for what happens to you.
承担起责任!你应自己做决定，如果没有，那么这是你的失误。你的思想存在于你的身体里，而你的思想左右你的生活。取回你的思想!从今天开始，当面对发生在你身上的事时，停止编造借口或责怪他人。
Quit procrastinating! Cancer is not the most deadly killer; procrastinationis. It kills dreams. It kills your future. Never use the phrase “I’ll try”.There is no such thing as trying. Pay attention when others use this phrase:ninety-nine percent of the time they do nothing. The words are just an easy wayto comfort oneself.
不要拖延!癌症并非最可怕的杀手，拖延才是。它扼杀梦想;它断送未来。绝不说“我试试!”这样的话，并没有尝试一说。当其他人这么说时你应注意到，99%的可能是他们并未尝试。这些词不过是种简单的自我安慰。
Quit thinking self-defeating thoughts! Quit thinking that you can’t do whatyou want to do. It’s not what you are that’s holding you back; it’s what youthink you are. You were given all the equipment you need to accomplish anythingyou desire. Use that power today.
拒绝那些会让你受到打击的想法!不要认为你无法完成你想做的事。让你退却的不是你的现状如何，而是你怎样评价自己。你具备那些能够使你达成梦想的条件，从今天起，让它们发挥作用。
As for bad habits: just quit! Take the challenge. Pick one, and quit itthis week. Next week pick another, and so on. Improve your life by being a“quitter” now.
戒掉不良习惯!接受这项挑战。选一个坏习惯，从这个星期开始，戒掉它!下周开始另一个，以此类推。做一个“终结者”，让你的生活越来越好。
Hello, everyone . May I have your attention please. To begin with, let meintroduce myself briefly . My name is liangzhilin, I am from class 1 of softwareengineering . It definitely is my honor to deliver such a speech here. Next ,Iwant to share my topic "born to win "with you tonight.
Each human is born as something new, each has his or her unique potentials,capabilities and limitations, each is born to win.
Great British thinker and philosopher Bertrand Russell said,Three passionshave governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, andunbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. This is what he lived for , thisis what he wanted to win during his life. Now , I wanna ask you a few questions: what you have lived for, do you want to win and how to win
There is no doubt everybody has thought about the following issues : whatare my things where lay my dream how to achieve my lifelong goals What is themeaning of life Can I be a man of value
I always fall into the thoughts above. We own the treasure --- youth, afamous saying recalls me, youth is not a time of life but a state of mind, youthis a matter of the will , a quality of the imagination , a vigor of theemotions. It is the deepest springs of life. But the fact is, Failing toattempt, losing faith and hope, lacking confidence and ambitions, even worse,losing dream. the reality is often ironic.
Everyone wants to be someone, each person have the will to succeed, butmost of us give up halfway . A winner is not one who never fails,but one whonever quits. Be faithful to your ideal , never give up , you can make adifference as the successful man. you have got to keep one thing in mind " eachis born to win ,have no reasons to draw back".
Sweat and tears wash away the setbacks and enlarge the possibility ofsuccess. Anyone of us should take up your responsibilities bravely , set up yourown stage ,and to make your world colorful and meaningful for the sake of whateach one is born to win. Wherever you are, no matter what pains there are, nomatter how difficult it is, just do it ,you will be the next winner.
After studying a great many of historic materials , books and unearthedrelics , he summarize the sani culture in yunnan as ah shi - ma culture . hepoints out that the traditional sani culture comprises four types , namely thehill culture represented by mizhi woods and mizhi festival , the fire culture byfire pray and torch festival , stone culture by stone worship and zulin - bimo (priests ) culture . the author comprehensively explains the four psychologicalfeatures deposit in the traditional sani culture , that is the rational tragedyconsciousness , the ideal of searching for utopian home ah zhuo - di , the wiselifestyle rooted from migration and creativity , the open mind to face nonnativeculture.
Who are we? That is the first question. It’s a question that’s almostimpossible to answer.
我们到底是谁?这是我们要解答的第一个问题，是一个几乎回答不了的问题
But we all agree that one’s busy or daily self is not quite one’s realself. We’re quite sure that we’ve lost something in the course of just makingour living.。
但是我们都同意这一点，那个每天在日常生活中奔忙的自己，并不是我们真实的自己。我们都很清楚，我们在为生计奔波的过程中失去了某些东西。
A crowd is watching a person running about looking for something in afield, and a wise man asks, “What has that person lost?” Someone may guess awatch, another a diamond ring. When everyone has guessed, the wise man who likeeveryone else there has no idea, says, “I’ll tell you one thing for sure. He’slost some breath.”
当一群人看着一个人在田野中奔跑着寻找某个东西时，智者向他们出了一个谜题：“那个人到底丢失了什么?”有个人认为是一块手表，另一个人认为是一枚钻石戒指。其他人也有不同的答案，智者也不知道那个人丢失了什么，但他却说：“我可以明确地告诉你们一件事，他丢失了一些生命力。”
And no one can deny that he’s right. The point is that we often forget ourtrue selves in pursuit of things that are external1 to us, like a birdforgetting its own danger in pursuit of a mantis, which in turn forgets its owndanger in pursuit of some other prey.
没有人认为智者所言是错的。其实我们经常在为生计奔波时忘记了我们自己，就像一只鸟在捕捉螳螂时忘记了自己的安危，相应地，螳螂在捕捉它的猎物时也忘记了自己的安危。
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. It’s great to be here. First of all, thanks for your coming. Tonight, what I am gonna talk about is innovation. Who can tell me what is innovation? We all know that, since 1978, China has been through the greatest changes brought by the reform and opening-up. So what we can see from the reform and opening-up? The power of innovation. That’s why I am here. I am here to show you my Chinese dream. I want to talk about the future and how we're going to win it. If we want to make innovation. But firstly, we should make sure that China is a place where we can make it if we try, where we can go as far as hard work and big dreams will take us. We understand that it’s not going to be a cakewalk, this competition for the future, which means all of us are going to have to do our best. We are going to have to win the future by being smarter and working harder and working together. Innovation is the spirit of our country, the motive force for our country’s prosperity.
Sparking the imagination and creativity of our people, unleashing new discoveries -- that's what China will do better than any other country on Earth. From the moment we have a new idea, we can explore it; we can develop it with a research grant; we can protect it with a patent; we can market it with a loan to start a new business. We’ve got a chain that takes a great idea all the way through. We must be confirmed that, today, the challenges we face are real.
They are serious they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But we will somehow find a way to overcome the difficulties. My major is . My job is to discover or create new drugs for many diseases like cancer. You know that laboratory is the place where miracles happen. Believe it or not. What I do can save millions of people’s lives. For a long time, what challenges me is how to commercialize research. You come up with a great idea, but moving that new discovery from theory to practice or from the lab to the marketplace, that's re ally a big job. That’s what we should focus on.
We need to act with a sense of urgency-to study and work and create as if the fate of the country depends on us-because it does. It depends on us. Thank you!

I played happily with myparents. Finally, we watched 4D movies, It was very exciting。

This was a pleasant trip for me.
My speech is over. Thank you!
Nature has provided us with many kinds of resources. All most everything we use in our everyday life comes from Nature. The food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the concrete and bricks to build our houses, the materials to make bikes we ride, etc, all come originally from Nature.
People have been making use of these natural supplies for thousands of years. With the development of technology and the increase of the population, the amount and range of mate rials taken has increased. It is estimated that this tread will continue in the years to come.
However, natural resouces are not in exhaustible. Some resources are already nearly used up. For example, the end of the world's fuel is already within sight. Such an essential daily item as water is in short supply in many parts of the world. We can no longer thoughtlessly use the many resources provided by. Nature. We must learn to conserve what remains.
"By! I've finally passed the English level secondary examination!" When Iheard the exciting news, I could not help but cheer up! For I am a grade fourstudents, through the level of junior middle school second grade exam, is hownot easy! Recall several months of efforts and painstaking effort, can not helpbut shed tears of delight.
Remember a few months ago, my mother tenderly stroked my head, kindly said:"Vivian ah, this time everyone in preparation for the level of English leveltest. However, mother believe that as long as you work hard, you are now level 2is also no problem, if passed the level 2 and so on key middle school of time,you will be more than others a 'pass'. Do you have confidence?" Looked at hismom looking forward to the eyes of the eyes and trust, I gently nodded.
Since then, all of my spare time to actively preparing for the exam Englishlevel 2.
For the first time in public English test level 2 training courses, Iactively raise your hand to speak in class, the teacher praised me know really alot. Home can be a problem, I will betray oneself. Sixty way choice, thinkingalong while, finally finished only guessing. The next day to listen to theteacher announced the answer, 60 choice was wrong two way. A failure is not letme lose confidence, on the contrary, I saw the hard way, take my spirit. Fromthen on, every time I class carefully take down the content of the teacher. Ifthere are any don't understand the question, I asked my father when I came back,until we understand.
Students, I think we all should know that in today’s society there is sucha phenomenon: the ability to have the same diploma and two male and femalecollege students, at the same time to a company for employment, male collegestudents have been successfully employed, while the female students had refusedthe door to things, went unheeded.
This phenomenon is really hard to understand me, can not do female studentsreally going to do? This concept is still dominated by a considerable portion ofthe human mind, my side has such a father he is also reasonable to know the bookup, his daughter and son in the same college may be his daughter on thesophomore, perform better than large 1:00 downgraded a bit, so, he lamentedtogether: "Oh, that female university students in the end is not enough!"
Dear female college students who listened to these words that you can notdo sorry? As a female college student, I am sad, but sad to think the futureis.
Who says that female college students not work! This is undoubtedly a kindof ignorance. Maybe they thought that the world famous Maria Curie was actuallymale scientists? And wrote "Health as an outstanding personality, death is alsoa ghost-hung," the famous Li Qingzhao was a bearded man in a bar! As to who wasthe honorary chairman of the American Physical Society, Dr. Wu - theChinese-American born in our home until she returned home drilled cars, manypeople by surprise, was actually female President!
Female college students, please for the time being to worry Geqi, you andme she was the face of these heroic achievements Girls Do not envy, does notadmire, do not worry?
You can read the Chinese women’s volleyball team’s training? Some say:"China Sports No!" Well, no? Come, and worked hard! Hen Da! Hard! How kind! Notyet do? Laureate of both hands to come back again and again, the internationalreputation in the Da-Zhen, national jubilation, they are not fighting it arethose girls come from?
Speak louder than words, OK! Really OK! Female college students, first andforemost is that we should get rid of the shackles of worldly prejudices, forexample, some female students because of exams did not go well, they blamethemselves: "I am stupid, well, who told me it was a girl!" Worry-free speechThat implication is that boys smarter than girls on this.
Ridiculous? Dear female college students, whether you admit it stupid?Hegel said: "low self-esteem is often accompanied by such a lazy ... ...humility is worthless." Why low self-esteem, just because he was a girl do?Inferiority of the result is negative, confusion, and negative, confusion, thereal root cause is impossible, the wheelchair girl, Zhang Haidi himself strickerwith illness, her low self-esteem do? Torrent emerged in the reform of the largenumber of female county, female managers, 38 red-banner pacesetter ... ... theyare at a loss do? Their achievements tell us: female college students, quicklywiped away tears, the self-esteem, self-cheap were all dumped into the PacificOcean, Fit, with our own actions to declare war on the secular bias bar!
Of course, the girls developmental stage, due to physical reasons, physicaland intellectual may be some impact, but if we all like the women’s volleyballteam as a backbone of the girl, along with Yuan Weimin, a large number ofsupport as a good coach, are there any stumbling block it can not be destroyed?And who will not believe that "genius is 99 percent plus one percent inspirationsweat" is the wisdom it? I remember, in the Bohai University studying aclassmate last semester of her other grades are good, that is, math is not verygood, it was said: "The female students, have achieved some results on thealmost." But she believed in evil, seize the weak links, assiduously, Sindresweat finally earned the fruitful achievements in the mathematics competition inMarch of this year, she finally took a prize, in private she was pleased to me,said: "Well! I Jiubu Xin male students must be better than I OK! "
Well, we really put forward a female college student in the oath-takingrally to those who still have prejudices about people who have loudly announced:Check it out, female college students really do not work? In the future Yeah,you and I that she who is an engineer? Who are the scientists? Who are thewriters? Jin-guo and excelling in their profession dare to compete against! LetLet’s Bibi Kan bar!
Female college students, progressive bar!
Thank you!
In the pitch-black night, stung by jellyfish, choking on salt water,singing to herself, hallucinating, Diana Nyad just kept on swimming. And thatshow she finally achieved her lifetime goal as an athlete, an extreme 100-mileswim from Cuba to Florida, at age 64. Hear her story.
Its the fifth time Diana Nyad stand on the Cuban shore believing again thatshe’s going to make it all the way across that vast, dangerous wilderness of anocean.
Life is about the journey, but not really the destination. Weve been on ajourney. Lets face it, were all on a one-way street. What are we going to do aswe go forward to have no regrets looking backTeddy Roosevelt quote was floatingaround in her brain over the past years in training. It says, "You go ahead andsit back in your comfortable chair as a critic or an observer, while the braveone gets in the ring, engages, gets bloody and dirty, and fails over and overand over again. Yet he isnt afraid or timid and lives life in a bold way." Whenyou achieve your dreams, its not so much what you get as who you have become inachieving them.
You have a dream and obstacles in front of you as we all do. None of usever get through this life without heartache, without turmoil. Believe inperseverance and have faith. Get back up again when you can get knocked down andyou will find your way.
"I have three messages," said the breathless Nyad. “The first is we shouldnever ever give up. The second is you are never too old to chase your dreams.And the third is that it looks like the most solitary endeavor in the world butit takes a team.”
Hellen Keller said, “Although the world is full of suffering, it is fullalso of the overcoming of it.” People always fail because they stop trying, notbecause they encounter the unbeatable difficulties. "Never, never give up" meansto keep trying and never stop working for your goals. I think it’s a very goodpiece of advice for all of us and this is the most important thing that can helpus to achieve our goals.
I am quite sure that everybody knows Thomas Edison. Why so many peopletried to invent the electric lamp, but only Thomas Edison succeedIf Edison, likemany others, had been stilted by repeated failures, there would be no vibrantmodern cities at night. His success proves that if a person is not scared byseemingly insurmountable adversity, he can find the way to success..
In my opinion, never stop working for your goal doesn’t mean you must besuccessful. It doesnt even mean that you must achieve your goal, but its veryimportant to keep it in your mind. There are enough unfavorable conditions whichmake our lives difficult, but what important for us is to make efforts towardsyour goal or your dream. If you have given your best for your goal or yourdream, whether you succeed or not, at least you wont leave any regret in yourlife.
Dont give up working for your goal or your dream. If you succeed, you willtaste great joy in your life. If you dont succeed, you wont have regret in yourlife because you have given your best.
Dreams are hard to follow, hold on and there will be tomorrow. You willfind the way with the strength to carry on. Don’t give up.
One day, if someone gets up on the right side of the bed and calls me andsays:’ You are the greatest person on earth. You are doing a great job and Iwant you to know I am honored to call you a friend.” I know he is sincere. Howdoes it make me fell? Great. But the next day, he gets up on thewrong side side of the bed, picks up the phone and says:” You rascal, you cheat,you crook! You are biggest fraud in town.” How does it make me feel?Terrible.
一天，如果某人情绪甚佳，并打电话给我说：“你是世界上最伟大的人。你做得非常好，我想让你知道把你称作朋友是我的荣幸。”我知道他是诚心的。听了这话我会有何感受?棒极了。然而第二天，他情绪不佳，拿起电话给我说：“你这恶棍，你这骗子，你这个不诚实的人!你是镇上最大的骗子。”我又有何感受?非常糟糕。
So the first day when he says, “You are the greatest guy,” I feel great andthe next day when he says, “you rascal,” I feel terrible. Who is controlling mylife? Obviously, he is, Is that the way I want to through life? Not at all. Thatis being externally driven.
第一天，他说：“你是最棒的人”时，我感觉良好。而第二天，当他说：”你是恶棍”时我感觉糟糕。谁在操纵我的生活?很明显是他。难道这就是我的生活方式吗?决不是，这是外因驱动。
I want to be internally driven. When he calls me and says I am the greatestguy it is good to hear those words. But even if he doesn’t say those words, inmy own estimation, I am still a god human being. And the next day when he ripsme apart, he can’t really, because in my own estimation. I am stilla good human being. When people make statements like, “You make me angry, ” thefocus of control is external. But if I say I am angry or I choose to be angry,the focus of control is internal.
我要主动的生活。当他打电话给我说我是最棒的人时，接受这些话语是有益的，但即使他并不是这么说，在我的自我评价中我依然是个好人。而第二天，当他想将我的自尊心撕碎时，他也并不能真正做到，因为在我的自我评价中我依旧是个好人。当人们说：“你使我愤怒“时，操纵点在外界。而如果我说我生气了，或者我要选择生气，那么操纵点就是内在的。
A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, the sonfalls, hurts himself and screams, "AAAhhhh!!!"To his surprise, he hears thevoice repeating, somewhere in the mountain," AAAhhhh!" Curious, he yells," Whoare you?" He receives the answer,"Who are you?" Angered at the response, hescream,"Coward!" He receives the answer,"Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks,"What's going on?" The father smiles andsays,"My son, pay attention." And then he screams to the mountain, "I admireyou!" The voice answers," I admire you!" Again the man screams,"You are achampion!" The voice answers,"You are a champion!" The boy is surprised, butdoes not understand.
Then the father explains,"People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection ofour actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.If you want more competence in you team, improve your competence. Thisrelationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life. Life will give youback everything you have given to it."
有一个小男孩和他的父亲走在山中。突然，孩子不小心跌倒了，痛得大叫了一声：“哎呀……”但是令他吃惊的是，他听到了一个声音从山中的某处传出来，重复着他的喊声：“哎呀……”他很好奇，大声喊道：“你是谁?”结果他得到的回答也是：“你是谁?”小男孩听了很生气，大声喊道：“胆小鬼!”结果他得到的回答也是：“胆小鬼!”他看着父亲问道：“到底是怎么回事?”父亲笑着说：“儿子，注意听。”父亲对着山大喊了一声：“我佩服你!”结果传回来的声音也是：“我佩服你!”父亲再一次大声地喊：“你是冠军!”那个声音也回答道：“你是冠军!”小孩子很惊讶，但是不明白其中的原因。
这时父亲解释说：“人们称这为‘回音’，但实际上这就是‘人生’。你说的每一句话，做的每一件事都会回应到你身上。我们的人生只不过是我们所作所为的反映。如果你要这个世界有更多的爱，那么你就要在你的心中创造更多的爱;如果你想让你的团队更优秀，那么先让你自己更优秀。这种关系对任何事情都是适用的，它适用于人生的方方面面。你给予人生的一切它都会回应给你。”
Every day of your life, it is important to take the time to “smell the roses” — to appreciate the experiences that lead to happiness. This is part of being truly happy.
Happiness is a state of mind. It starts with accepting where you are, knowing where you are going and planning to enjoy every moment along the way. You know how to be happy, and feel that you have enough time or money or love or whatever you need to achieve your goals. And just feeling that you have enough of everything means that you do indeed have enough.
You have to choose to be happy, and focus upon being happy, in order to be happy. If you instead focus upon knowing that you will be happy if you achieve something, you will never be happy, as you have not learned to “smell the roses”. The irony is that when you are happy, you are inevitably more productive, and far more likely to achieve what everything-seekers are seeking.
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly,and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse;she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got outof her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed themouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. Ihave worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am tooold. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did whenthey were young."
一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。
于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”
Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident,it radiatesfrom you like sunlight,and attracts success to you like a magnet.
It's important to believe in yourself.Believe that you can do it under anycircumstances,because if you believe you can,then you really will.The beliefkeeps you searching for answers,which means that pretty soon you will getthem.
Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly whereyou are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from actingwith integrity and confidence.It comes from a strong sense of purpose.It comesfrom a strong commitment to take responsibility,rather than just letting lifehappen.
One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get arecord of successful experiences behind you.
Confidence is compassionate and understanding.It is not arrogant. Arroganceis born out of fear and insecurity,while confidence comes from strength andintegrity.Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowingyou can do it.Know that you are capable of accomplish anything you want,and liveyour life with confidence.
Anything can be achieved through focused,determined effort andself-confidence.If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power tochange it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live yourpriorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment withyour priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose,and you will have the lifeyou want.
信心成就一切，当你真正自信时，它就像灿烂的阳光一样从你身上散发出来，就像磁铁一样将成功吸引到你身上。
相信自己非常重要。要相信自己无论在任何情况下都会成功。因为如果你相信你能做到，那么你就真的会做到。这种信念促使你不断的去寻找答案，而不断的探索就意味着你很快就会找到答案。
信心不只是一种态度，它来源于你确切地知道自己要去干什么并且确切地知道怎么去干。它来源于正直和自信地去行动。它来源于强烈的目标感。它来源于强烈地勇于承担责任的许诺，而不是让生命放任自流。
培养自信的一种方法是去做你害怕做的事情，并将它做成功。
信心是富有同情心和善解人意的。它一点都不傲慢自大。傲慢是由于害怕和缺乏安全感才产生的，而信心则出于坚强的决心和诚实正直。信心并不是仅仅认为你可能会成功，而是确信你一定能成功。确信你有能力实现自己的愿望，并充满信心的生活着。
如果你足够专心、坚决和自信，那么任何事都能做成。如果生活不像你预想的那样，你有力量去改变它，并且你必须一步一步的去实现这些改变。铭记你生命中最重要的事情。有目标并且有计划的去生活。为你的目标而奋斗，你就会拥有自己想要的生活。
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Facing this audience on the stage, I have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. It is an assembly of some of China's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.
I'm grateful that I've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.
Though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, I believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.
In my elementary years, there was a little girl in the CLASs who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.
The teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, I always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.
One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "Could you please explain this to me? I want very much to do better this time. " I started explaining, and finished in a hurry. Pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, I ran off quickly. Nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. No one ever knew about the little task I failed to fulfill, but I couldn't forgive myself. I simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "Why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? Why didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that I would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?"
I was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.
Later in my life, I continued to experience many failures. But never again did I feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that I have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best I can.
As I grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, I began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. New buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day. New ideas, new information, new technologies. People can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. Society is becoming more competitive.
Words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.
Such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. Yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.
We learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. We hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.
We buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.
Such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.
Such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. History has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.
Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. Probably I'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. But this doesn't discourage me any, for I know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that I will be living.
Standing here now, I think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity. But that doesn't discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.
I can't ever forget that little girl in my CLASS who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.
It is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us. We are not going to evade that responsibility. We are going to let people down. And people, far and near, will hear of us. Frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, So let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.
Knowing the Consequences of Choice
Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... If we
could agree what that was.
However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
I Regain Confidence
By Li Jun
The future can be anything we want to make
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as areminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.
We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything thatwe can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reapa good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop.If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminatedby the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all beconcerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder ofour lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The futureis before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effect it.
Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in ourbusinesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of theprogress in every field of human endeavor.
我不知道这段文字是谁写的，我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己，那就是未来操之在我。
我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子，就会有丰收。倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草，我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种，就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染。我们应关心未来，因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的。我们的所作所为都会影响未来。
只要我们体会的出来，每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里，也可能是在我们的事业中。我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I’m Angela Zhang from Class 4 Grade 8. Today, my topic is, “The Shanghai World Expo”.
First, I’ll say something about World Expo History. As we know, the very first World Expo, the Great Exhibition of 1851, took place in the Crystal Palace in London. UK. Ever since then, the goals of World Expos have been both high-minded as well as commercial. Visitors are able to explore the world outside of their everyday experience—outside cultures, new scientific advancements, and new inventions. World Expos have excited and inspired more and more people in the world.
On December3, 20xx, the Bureau of International Expositions (or call it BIE) announced that Shanghai will host Expo20xx. the BIE had received bids from five cities to host Expo20xx. Among the 5 nice cities, the BIE chose Shanghai at last! It’s really an exciting news for not only Shanghainese, but also all of Chinese people. Here are some details about it.
Look at this profile carefully. The title is “The 20xx World Exposition ,Shanghai, China ”. this is the logo.
And the theme is “better city., better life”.OK, let’s guess who is the image representative? Yeah, you’re right, Yao Ming!
Shanghai Expo is the first comprehensive World Expo held in a developing country. And it is also the first one that takes “the city” as its theme, hoping that it can push forward the city development and help bring about a better urban living environment, just like the theme: better city, better life.
I think, as a student in Shanghai, we should learn to be a gentle person and keep good manners from now on. And try to practice English more in order to communicate with foreigners fluently in the near future. Because, we’re a part of Shanghai!
The word, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a noddingacquaintance, a comrade, a confidant, a partner, a playmate, an intimatecolleague, etc.
Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single-handed.We need help from, and also give help to, others. In modern society, peopleattach more importance to relations and connections. A man of charisma has manyfriends. His power lies in his ability to give.
As life is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and helpus out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. Our friendsoffer us advice with regard to how do deal with various situations. True friendsshare not only our joys but also our sorrows.
With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life issad and unfortunate. I have friends in high positions and friends in the rankand file. Some are rich and in power. Some are relatively poor and withoutpower. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing, contentwith a simple life. We all care for each other, love and help each other. Wefeel we are happiest when we chat and exchange ideas with one another. With myfriends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share.
I will never forget my old friends, and I'll keep making new friends. Iwill not be cold and indifferent to my poor friends, and I will show concern forthem, even if it is only a comforting word.
“朋友”这个词的意义很广。朋友可以是点头之交、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、亲密的同事等。
人人都需要友谊，没有人能独自在人生的海洋中航行。我们给人以帮助，也需要别人的帮助。在现代社会，人们更重视关系和联系。一个有非凡魅力的人有许多朋友，他的力量在于他的奉献能力。
生活充满矛盾和斗争，我们需要朋友的支持，以帮助我们摆脱困境。朋友提醒我们警惕险滩。朋友主动给我们以忠告，告诉我们如何应付各种不同的局势。真正的朋友与我们同甘共苦。
有了友谊，生活幸福、和谐;没有友谊，生活变得悲伤、不幸。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友;有的有钱有权，有的较穷且无权无势。有的和我一样教书，读读写写，满足于简朴的生活。我们都互相关心，互相爱护，互相帮助。我们觉得朋友们在一起闲谈交流思想时感到最开心。对我的朋友们，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么。
我决不会忘记老朋友，同时继续结交新朋友。我对穷朋友绝不冷漠，而是关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的话。
