I don’t remember the exact year I first read The Little Prince . Though thegolden snake in the book plays a cameo role , I never forget the scene that heflashed kissed gently on the little prince’s ankle. It made me be afraid toreread this book.
Later, I listened a Michael Wong’s song named Fairy-tale Story, the princein his song is different from the prince in The Little Prince, the prince in thesong is the same as Andersen’s tales’ princes, they all have happy endings.
However, I think The Little Prince is a sad story. There is a saying: Thereare a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes. Now, let me talk about myreading feeling. This simple story flies over every corner of the world: a pilot(the narrator) who had an accident with his plane and crashed in the Desert ofSahara then he met the little prince from the planet B-612, and the narratorlistened little prince’s travel experience of seven planets. On the sevenplanets, he met a variety of persons. They are the king, the conceited man, thebusinessman, the tippler, the lamplighter, the geographer and so on.
The Little Prince is a story belongs to adults who have childlikeinnocence.because children don’t understand the little prince’s deepsadness.This is not so much a fairy tale, as it is a tragedy. This story tellsthe grow-ups’ world is full of empty，lost and loneliness with kids’ perspective.Among the story, the alcoholic is impressive. He was surrounded by a pile ofbeer bottles when the little prince saw him, and prince asked him why he isdrinking, but he answered he want to forget his shame of drinking. This shortplanet visit plunged little prince into deep puzzled. He think the grow-ups arecertainly very, very odd. In kids' eyes, beautiful things must look with heart.But the adults pay more attention on things’ appearance that is just a shell andthey don’t believe the eyes are blind and the heart is true.
Through this story, it also made me understand what’s the love---love'smore mineral, more dense, more bitter and more weighty than the earth'sprofoundest matter.
When I first read The Little Prince, I can’t understand the mean of loveand never to think why should the little prince leave alone since he love hisrose so deeply. For years, I reread the story and think about it. The simpletrue was first love. The little prince didn’t know how to love and It wasdifficult to make him understand the rose’s heart, so it may lead tomisunderstanding and hurts from time to time. He leaved his planet because hecan not accept the rose and himself.
This is why the little prince don’t know he have to leave : at that time,he had no idea he was in it. The little prince don’t understand the meaning oftame until he met the fox later. Then he produced the endless yearning for theroses and realized his responsibility.
"Do you want to be domesticated?" For me, this is a profound question. Inthe book, the little prince met a fox and invited the fox to play with him, buthe was refused. The fox told him that he was not tamed. “what does thatmean--tame?” little prince asked. The fox answered:” it means to establish ties:to me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundredthousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part,have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousandother foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me , you willbe unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.”
Gradually the little prince was beginning to understand, because heremembered his rose and he thought his rose had tamed him. So he chose to goback to his planet in the end. But to the fox, the little prince’s farewell willmake her sad, but the hurts because of love, she should learn to accept itgradually. I believe there are full of hurts within serious and true love.
As long as the little prince flied to different planets and met a varietyof persons can he understand himself and
his rose. So I think traveling is a good way to experience life.

It is true that most of us value honesty highly. However， nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating， overcharging， fake modities and so on. I think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society. The reasons can be listed as follows.Firstly， only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time.
Secondly， honesty， which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people， can make our life easier and more harmonious. Thirdly， honesty can make our society more stable. A case in point is that Singapore， a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity， has a paratively low criminal rate.
Responsbility can be understood in many ways. for the parents ， they have had the responsibility for caring for and fostering their children since the birth of their baby.for teachers，both in kindergartens and colleges，they also should be responsible for the study and life of their students，that is to say，teahers are the second parents of children somewhile. In short， honesty is gold. Honest， your reputation will bee great;dishonest， your name will be spoiled and your personality degraded. Therefore， we should never make such an excuse as "A little dishonesty is only a trifle thing. we should eradicate immediately the seed of dishonesty once it is sowed in our minds.
for us，as a friend of others，it is our responsibility to help our friends when they are in trouble or faced with difficulties. each one has the different responsibily based on their roles but we must take it for granted that we are responsible for the society.
Normally school education aims to cultivate students' abilities to learnand think. But more and more people realize that without the cultivation ofmoral norms and ethics, we can hardly expect a society to be nice enough forleading a harmonious life. As a result, schools should attach more attention todevelop students’ character education, such as qualities of honesty and filialpiety.
Character education plays an important role in the development of futuresociety. It meets the need of emphasizing and developing the students’ all-roundqualities. In the long run, it protects students from being selfish,indifferent, conceited as well as impolite in their daily lives. What's more, itteaches students how to learn efficiently, how to live colourfully, how to dothings seriously, for their own future, and also for the future of theirmotherland.
平时学校教育的目的是培养学生的学习能力和思考能力。但是，越来越多的人意识到，没有道德规范和伦理道德的培养，我们很难指望一个社会能够和谐生活的美好。因此，学校应重视培养学生的人格教育，如诚实和孝顺的品质。
品格教育在未来社会发展中起着重要的作用。它符合强调和发展学生的全面素质的需要。从长远来看，它可以保护学生免受自私、冷漠、自负以及日常生活中的不礼貌。更重要的是，教会学生如何有效学习，如何生活丰富多彩，如何做事认真，对于自己的未来，也是祖国的未来。
first, i’ll say something about world expo history. as we know, the very first world expo, the great exhibition of1851, 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, XX, the bureau of international expositions (or call it bie) announced that shanghai will host expo2010. the bie had received bids from five cities to host expo2010. among the5nice 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.
loot at this profile carefully. the title is “the2010 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!
I’m very proud that I have chosen to speak to you all today, I’m a bit(=alittle) nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many people ,so pleaseforgive me if it shows.
As we all know, the environmemt around us is getting worse and worse . Insome places we can’t see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Somepeople even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something toprotect the environment. .But what can we do? How to protect our environmemt?For example ,we can go to school on foot or by bike . we can use shoppingbasskets not plastic bags when we go shopping and we can use both sides of thepaper when we write . In a word ,if everyone pays more attention to ourenvironment , there will be less pollution and our lives will be better. “Thereis only one earth”,I hope everyone will protect our environment well.Thanks!
Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
First I want to ask you some questions:
1、 Do you know what is youth?
2、 How do you master your youth?
Youth
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 16 , 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.
Thank you!
青春
青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。
青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。
岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。
60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力………
一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖；即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。
You may wonder if I believe in afterlife. My answer is: I know nothing about my previous life, so I dare not make improper comments on afterlife. But I do hope there’s afterlife! Because our present life is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding. I have so many dreams, so many wishes, so many ambitions, as well as so many regrets and concerns. If there were no afterlife, all of them will remain unrealized!
也许有人会问我，你相信来世吗？我的回答是：我不知道前生，因而也不敢妄谈后世。但我真的希望能有来世！因为这辈子时间太短，许多事情都是在还没弄明白的时候，就已经匆匆过去了。我有那么多的理想，我有那么多的心愿，我有那么多的奢望，我有那么多的遗憾，我有那么多的牵挂，我有那么多的雄心壮志，如果没有来世，那就一切皆空了。
I’m not contented with the present commonplace life, I’m very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time, and I yearn for the perfection and maturity if I could start all over again. So believe it or not, I’d rather there were afterlife.
我不甘心眼前的碌碌无为，我留恋被岁月冲走的本应属于我的亲情，更向往从头再来的完美和成熟。为此，信也好，不信也好，我宁愿有来世。
那晚，在一家知名广告公司做设计师的朋友告诉我，干这行两年了，从刚得到这份工作时的欣喜到如今越来越明显的疲惫，她已渐渐迷失了奋斗的方向。
我不解：“两年前，你的志向那么坚定，一定要在广告界找到立足之地，现在你已如愿，并且已有了一定的成绩，应该高兴才对啊。”
她的眼神很忧郁：“曾经非常喜欢设计这个专业，把这当梦想来追求。每次设计出好作品来，无论是否能得到实惠，都很有成就感，内心充实而愉悦。调进这个大公司，周围高手如云，被轻视是常有的事，甚至随时面临被淘汰出局的危机。现在，我都找不到最初做这行时的快乐了。”
面对朋友的烦恼，我突然想起近来走红的nba球星林书豪，想起他面对媒体，坦然地讲述的那段奋斗心路。
受父亲的影响，林书豪从小就很喜欢打篮球，高中时，他带领所在的球队获得了州级篮球比赛的冠军。但在美国，篮球圈一直由白人和黑人主宰，黄皮肤的华裔球员在圈内很受歧视。在旧金山参加夏季联赛时，有人在看台上公然羞辱他：“黄皮肤的，滚回中国吧！”他顶着压力，打出了好成绩，为华人争了口气。加入金州勇士队时，偏见和随时失业的压力仍包绕着他，他曾三次被金州勇士队下放到雷诺大角羊队。火箭队接纳他的惊喜还没散尽，为了给签约球员——海地中锋萨缪尔·戴勒姆波特腾出位置，火箭队又毫不犹豫地将林书豪裁掉了，他们对这个来自哈佛的华裔小子有偏见——身高远不及姚明的林书豪可能更精通读书，并不真的懂篮球。
骨干队员艾曼·舒伯特和拜伦·戴维斯的意外受伤，让尼克斯队面临着控卫荒。不得已，尼克斯招进了刚被火箭队裁掉的林书豪充当替补。然而，正是这么一位多次面对失业和坐冷板凳等尴尬遭遇的华裔球员，在XX年2月6日尼克斯与篮网队的赛事当中，一出场，很快便贡献全场最高的25分……原来对他没报多大希望的教练惊喜交加。随后，林书豪又在下一场比赛中，创下了25分7助攻、28分8助攻的奇迹，一跃成为震惊世界的篮球新星。
成功后，林书豪说，很多人打球的动机是金钱、女孩子和明星的生活方式，他也经常被世俗所诱惑。为了打得更好些，他给自己施加了很多压力，这让他迷失了打球的目的。
把被人轻视的耻辱当动力，他进步了，可是，并没找回最初的平和与快乐。曾经旋转在篮球上的喜悦一度被无形的压力主宰着，让他感到焦虑和烦躁。
后来，林书豪发现，把实现梦想后得到的金钱和荣誉作为打球的目的，它的成败便成了巨大的压力，甚至成了成功路上的阻力。于是，他重新调整了思路——竞技的快乐来自享受比赛的激情并不断超越自己，与名利无关。他给压力找到了这样一个正确的出口，他也因此重新找到了心灵的平和与愉悦。
如今，朋友也有类似的焦虑，审视自己，何尝不也有过这样的烦恼？或许，职场本身就是个竞技场，机遇与压力始终并存。
世界的精彩，从某个角度来说，也来自竞争中的一鸣惊人或百花齐放。竞争既是一种正面的动力，也可能成为一种负面的心理压力。那么，学学林书豪吧，给压力找对一个出口，不要纠结于职场上的成败，请将注意力切换一下状态——看淡眼前的得失，做一个懂得享受工作乐趣的人，去体会超越自己的激情、感受流汗的痛快。意想不到的成功，可能就在不远的地方等待我们的到来。
