“I kept the last technique of the tree climbing from you just because I suspected you might be can ungrateful friend.” The cat loudly told the tiger who watched under the tree helplessly.
自信心的重要性
The Importance of confidence
Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships. This truth seems to be evident. However, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they like the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to be overcome. For someone, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.
Why do people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? There are, among others, two main reasons. First, these people do have a correct estimate of themselves. Second, they overestimate the difficulties.
It is possible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude towards one’s abilities. We should never underestimate one’s abilities. But believe in the proverb: “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Confidence is the promise for fulfilling a task successfully.
Good morning everyone ,befor our class,I’m going to share something about basketball ,something about NBA.
As one of millions NBA fans ,I’ve been watching NBA games for about six
years ,for ,as you know ,the NBA court is really an amazing place where miracles happen frequently.Especially when there is a buzzer beater taking place at the end of zhe game ,it’s absolutely the most excting point in the game. Do you
know how popular the NBA is in China? Look at these pictures , celebrities from different fields are watching the game in the stadium. And this picture reflects how popular it is among college students.
No one may have never heared something about Kobe ,lenbron James ,jaordan, but I believe not everyone know the origin of basketball.
Dr.James Naismith, a Canadian who was teaching at Springfield College in Massachusetts needed to come up with a game to entertain the school’s rugby and football players during the winter months.
So he grabbed a peach basket he found in the janitor’s closet of the school and hung it on a railing about ten feet from the floor.
Every time the players made a shot though, they had to take down the basket and grab the ball, which became really annoying. Dr.Naismith decided to cut a hole in the basket so the ball would go straight through without having to dig it out all the time
The sport was an instant success and the popularity of this new game quickly grew. Althoough Nasimith never saw the game develop into the spectacular game we know these days, he had the honor to witness basketball become an Olympic sport at the 1936 Games held in Berlin.
A group of team owners met on June 6, 1946, in New York to talk about a league they would name the Basketball Association of America. This meeting was the beginning of what we know today as the NBA.
NBA’s full name is National Basketball Association
And today there are 30 teams in the association .And in recent days the regular season has began.And the games are very excting .If you have any interst , you could watch them in the morning everyday.
thanksgiving day is the most truly american of the national holidays in the united states and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
in 1620, the settlers, or pilgrims, they sailed to america on the may flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. after a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy november, what is now plymouth, massachusetts.
during their first winter, over half of the settlers died of[1] starvation or epidemics. those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
all summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. and therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the lord be fixed[2]. years later, president of the united states proclaimed the fourth thursday of november as thanksgiving day every year. the celebration of thanksgiving day has been observed on that date until today.
the pattern of the thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. the big family dinner is planned months ahead. on the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. there will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. the best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. they have been the most traditional and favorite food on thanksgiving day throughout the years.
everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing[3] to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. but as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on[4] the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued[5] blessings.
Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching ever higher, building one achievement on top of another, and creating real, meaningful value in each moment.
A common stone on the ground does a great job of just getting by. You, on the other hand, are destined1 for much more spectacular things. Yes, indeed, you will certainly meet a number of challenges when you make the effort to raise your world even a little bit higher. The good thing is, you are superbly equipped to thrive on those challenges.
If life seems unsuccessful, it’s not because of the challenges or limitations that stand in your way. It’s because you refuse to see the exceptional opportunities that those challenges represent.
This is your precious and unique life, and it is absolutely worth all the trouble and effort you must go through to make it great. Within you at this moment are beautiful dreams, and you can begin to live in the direction of those dreams whenever you choose.
Let go of the false security of just getting by, and get yourself into focus on a purpose that will bring your life gloriously to life. Your very own pathway to success is just one quick step away.
生活并不是过得去就行,而是需要我们每时每刻都有所超越,不断取得成就,并且创造真正的、有意义的价值。
地上的一块普通的石子只是躺在那里就做得很好了。然而,你注定是要做大事的。是的,当你努力提升自己时,你的确会遇到许多困难,哪怕只是提升一点点。幸运的是,你有能力战胜那些挑战。
如果生活看起来并不是一帆风顺的,那并不是因为你前方的道路上有挑战或阻碍,而是因为你没有看到那些挑战中蕴藏的良机。
这是你所珍爱的、独一无二的生活。为了让它变得更美好,经历困难、付出努力都是值得的。此刻,你的内心充满着美好的梦想,只要你选择,你就可以朝着梦想的方向生活。
摒弃生活只要过得去就行这样的错误观点,全心投入一个目标——让你的生活更加精彩。成功之路离你仅一步之遥。
good evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.
it’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world, change ourselves.
it’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.
frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with them.indeed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions.
(examples).but why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture.
there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend,chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture.
with the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the earth.the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture.
Dear teacher, dear students:
has a very serious problem. not only does have a very serious problem, but our people have a very serious problem. 's problem is us. we're her problem. the only reason she has a problem is she doesn't want us here. and every time you look at yourself, be you black, brown, red, or yellow -- a so-called negro -- you represent a person who poses such a serious problem for because you're not wanted. once you face this as a fact, then you can start plotting a course that will make you appear intelligent, instead of unintelligent.
conference, and the results of the conference, it actually serves as a model for the same procedure you and i can use to get our problems solved. at all the nations came together. their were dark nations from africa and conference was the white man. he couldn't come. once they e_cluded the white man, they found that they could get together. once they kept him out, everybody else fell right in and fell in line. this is the thing that you and i have to understand. and these people who came together didn't have nuclear weapons; they didn't have jet planes; they didn't have all of the heavy armaments that the white man has. but they had unity.
conference, they looked at the portuguese, and at the frenchman, and at the englishman, and at the other -- dutchman -- and learned or realized that the one thing that all of them had in common: they were all from was colonizing our people in the . the same one in the , and in southern rhodesia, and in , and in and in we all have a common enemy, whether he's in , whether he's in

Why do you spend life feeling so miserable4?Know that no matter what, your soul is indestructible.
你为什么把时间花在伤心上?要知道你是所有快乐的源泉。
你为什么把时间花在恐惧上?要知道你的一个眼神就能让困难消失无踪。你为什么要哭泣着寻求帮助?
要知道最能够帮助你的人就是你自己。你为什么如此虚弱无助?要知道你在各方面都是无可匹敌的。你为什么感到绝望?
要知道你是受上天眷顾的。你为什么感到有压力?要知道任何东西只要你想要就一定能得到。你为什么不抓住机会呢?要知道你可以战胜一切灾难。你为什么不让生活充实起来呢?要知道单调乏味的生活毫无意义。你为什么怀疑自己的天赋和才能呢?要知道你过人的意志力能让你实现所有愿望。你为什么让自己的生活如此悲惨呢?要知道不论怎样,你的灵魂都是无坚不摧的。

my hometown is lhasa, the largest city on the roof of the world. it is the heart and soul of tibet. i think lhasa is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. it is surrounded by towering mountains and rarely a day goes by when you don' t see the deep blue sky. lhasa river is flowing quietly around the city.
lhasa is the mixture of tradition and fashion.
firstly, lhasa has a long history. it is the political, cultural and economic center of tibet. it has lots of famous sights to offer. the potala palace is the most famous, a magnificent and wonderful place to look at. in my opinion it is a unique artistic achievement of the tibetan people. likewise, the architecture, carvings and paintings throughout the city show hard work, wisdom and bravery of our people.
secondly, led by the reforming and opening policy of china, lhasa has changed a lot. many new things have arrived up here, changing the face of the city. the old and new lie side by side in lhasa.
many new buildings, schools and roads have been built here. furthermore, the qing-zang railway leading to lhasa is being built. many shopping centers have been opened, and modern technology like telecommunications is spreading. the whole city looks prosperous, and our tibetan people take on a new look. every festival, people walk around freely on the new, wide and smooth streets, wearing the beautiful traditional costumes.
right now, i am looking forward to a festival called shodün which comes in june for eating yoghurt. at this time, all my family and i gather for a picnic together at the norbulinka, a famous garden. in the garden, we sing tibetan songs, dance “guo zhuang” on the grass; eat zanba, drink butter tea and barley beer on the beautiful carpet as well. we enjoy our life. i think that this festival exhibits the open-minded and optimistic character of the tibetan people.
finally, “i love my hometown. i love the people in my hometown.”.
thank you.

我的家乡
我的家乡是拉萨,它位于世界屋脊。我认为拉萨是世界上最美丽的城市之一,它的周围是高耸入云的山脉,几乎你天天都能看到湛蓝的天空,拉萨河围绕着这座城市缓缓地流淌着。
拉萨是一个传统和时尚的结合体。
首先,拉萨有悠久的历史,灿烂的文化。拉萨是西藏的政治、文化、经济中心,并且有许多闻名遐迩的名胜古迹,布达拉宫雄伟壮观,金碧辉煌,是一个值得一看的地方,我认为它是西藏人民独特艺术成就,而且拉萨市的建筑、雕刻和绘画是西藏人民勤劳、勇敢和智慧的结晶。
其次,自改革开放以来,拉萨发生了很大变化,许多新事物层出不穷,改变了拉萨的面貌,古老与现代并存。
多种风格的建筑拔地而起,现代化的学校被建起,宽畅的公路被修建,通向拉萨的青藏铁路正在施工,现代高科技在拉萨延伸,整个城市呈现一派繁荣景象,拉萨人民呈现新的面貌,每逢节日,他们穿着节日盛装,自在地走在大街上。
现在我正期待着雪顿节的到来,这个节日在六月初,是一个吃酸奶的节日,当这个节日到来的时候,我和我的家人、朋友聚在一起在有名的公园-“罗布林卡” 里面野餐。我们在草地上一起唱藏歌,跳锅庄舞;踏着美丽的藏式地毯吃糌粑、喝酥油茶和青稞酒,享受我们幸福的生活,我认为这个节日展示了西藏人民开朗、乐观的性格。
最后,我想说“我爱我的家乡,我更爱我家乡的人民。”
谢谢!
扎西德勒!
Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it. Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best.
We often hear people say, "Never give up." This can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.
In short, it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one k you very much!
There is no perfect individual only perfect team. A philosopher once asked "how can a drop of water does not dry?" And the philosopher answered saying "put it in the sea." This short dialogue also reveals a profound truth: between individuals and others to support each other the only support from the team or others will have infinite strength. If without the support of others to you there is no group of policy strength of each member of the team we will not be able to overcome the heavy obstacles through behing XianGuan. Left the team even though you pulled out all the stops in front of difficulties will eventually be exhausted one day.
One day I on the way home suddenly the heavy rain. People ran forward a look at a hut we rush in under the heavy rain everyone very happy: "wow lucky today just looking for a house heavy rain is coming!" You also don't concern house do not clean as long as there is like a shelter. But the house in the wind and rain to fall suddenly everyone try their best to hold it don't let it fall. I have a lot of regrets is that we need a house or a house needs us? I see more is that we need to the house.
We identify center like this hut "such" for everyone. But at the same time also need to each of us has done his duty gave his strength she could only stand in the storm of the fierce market competition become a one hundred - year - old built to last.
Finally let's went up from the structure of the "people" word comprehension with a grateful heart to treat people and things around so the world will be because every one of us and wonderful every one of us will become successful because the support of others. Our testing center although also gone through a journey of more than 10 years of wind and rain in the middle across a number of obstacles can go today because no matter how much difficulty the leadership of the center and we are together forever! We as young people should be more so choose one for their own development team to find a sense of belonging put their own value their mission their future combined with social trends national interests on this basis take root and grow in the team become the social people the backbone of the country.
Believe you strategic vision believe your choice. In the provincial professional skill appraisal center this family you will get a personal development space and the most warm harbor. Is because of you to join professional appraisal will go to tomorrow's brilliant career let us all together!
Thank you all!
one night a hotel caught fire,and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.
two men stood outside and looked at the fire.
“before i came out,” said one,“i ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money.people don't think of money when they're afraid.when anyone leaves paper money in a fire,the fire burns it.so i took all the bills that i could find.no one will be poorer because i took them.”
“you don't know my work,” said the other.
“what is your work?”
“i'm a policeman.
“oh!” cried the first man.he thought quickly and said,“and do you know my work?”“no,”said the policeman.
“i'm a writer.i'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”
In the summer recess between freshman and sophomore years in college, I wasinvited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp hosted by a collegein Michigan. I was already highly involved in most campus activities, and Ijumped at the opportunity.
About an hour into the first day of camp, amid the frenzy of icebreakersand forced interactions, I first noticed the boy under the tree. He was smalland skinny, and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear frail andfragile. Only 50 feet away, 200 eager campers were bumping bodies, playing,joking and meeting each other, but the boy under the tree seemed to want to beanywhere other than where he was. The desperate loneliness he radiated almoststopped me from approaching him, but I remembered the instructions from thesenior staff to stay alert for campers who might feel left out.
As I walked toward him I said, “Hi, my name is Kevin and I’m one of thecounselors. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
In a shaky, sheepish voice he reluctantly answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him if he wanted to join the activities and meet some newpeople. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could sense that he was in a new world, that this whole experience wasforeign to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. Hedidn’t need a pep talk, he needed a friend. After several silent moments, myfirst interaction with the boy under the tree was over.
At lunch the next day, I found myself leading camp songs at the top of mylungs for 200 of my new friends. The campers were eagerly participated. My gazewandered over the mass of noise and movement and was caught by the image of theboy from under the tree, sitting alone, staring out the window. I nearly forgotthe words to the song I was supposed to be leading. At my first opportunity, Itried again, with the same questions as before: “How are you doing? Are youokay?”
To which he again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really getinto this stuff. ”
As I left the cafeteria, I too realized this was going to take more timeand effort than I had thought — if it was even possible to get through to him atall.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my concerns about himknown. I explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and askedthem to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.
The days I spend at camp each year fly by faster than any others I haveknown. Thus, before I knew it, mid-week had dissolved into the final night ofcamp and I was chaperoning the “last dance”. The students were doing all theycould to savor every last moment with their new “best friends” — friends theywould probably never see again.
As I watched the campers share their parting moments, I suddenly saw whatwould be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy from under the tree,who stared blankly out the kitchen window, was now a shirtless dancing wonder.He owned the dance floor as he and two girls proceeded to cut up a rug. Iwatched as he shared meaningful, intimate time with people at whom he couldn’teven look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was him. In October of mysophomore year, a late-night phone call pulled me away from my chemistry book. Asoft-spoken, unfamiliar voice asked politely, “Is Kevin there?”
“You’re talking to him. Who’s this?”
“This is Tom Johnson’s mom. Do you remember Tommy from leadership camp?”
The boy under the tree. How could I not remember? “Yes, I do”, I said.“He’s a very nice young man. How is he?”
An abnormally long pause followed, then Mrs. Johnson said, “My Tommy waswalking home from school this week when he was hit by a car and killed.”Shocked, I offered my condolences.
“I just wanted to call you”, she said, “because Tommy mentioned you so manytimes. I wanted you to know that he went back to school this fall withconfidence. He made new friends. His grades went up. And he even went out on afew dates. I just wanted to thank you for making a difference for Tom. The lastfew months were the best few months of his life.”
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself everyday. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tellthis story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for theirown “boy under the tree.”
在大一到大二之间的那个暑假,密歇根的一所大学主办一次中学学生干部夏令营,邀我担任辅导员。对于校园的多数活动,我都持赞同态度并积极参与,那次我同样欣然接受了。
头一天活动进行大约一个钟头,我注意到,开始活跃的营员们兴致浓厚,不太自然地互动起来,而树下却有一个孤零零的男孩。他身材矮小,瘦弱不堪,那明显的不安和羞怯使他显得不堪一击。在只有五十英尺远的地方,二百名充满激情的营员正在玩耍、开玩笑并互作介绍,而树下的男孩似乎除了想呆在原地,不想去任何地方。他流露出的极度孤独令我几乎难以靠近,但我没忘记资深辅导员们的提示:对可能感觉受到冷落的营员要保持警惕。
我走向那个男孩,对他说:“嗨!我叫凯文,是你们的辅导员。很高兴认识你,你好吗?”
带着颤抖的怯生生的声音,他勉强答道:“我想——还好吧。”
我平静地问他想不想投入到那些活动从而结识一些人,他轻声回答:“不,那不关我的事。”
我能感觉到他在面对一个新的环境,这种体验对他来说是全然陌生的。也不知为什么,我觉得强迫他加入也不妥当。他不需要鼓励性的讲,他需要的是朋友。几次沉默之后,我和树下男孩的接触就此结束。
第二天吃午饭的时候,我扯开嗓门,领着二百名刚认识的新朋友唱起了营歌。营员们都热情参与,我的目光游移于这群人,忽然那个“树下男孩”的样子吸引了我的注意:他孤零零地坐着,眼瞅着窗外。我几乎忘记了领唱的歌词。只要一有机会,我就会照旧用那些话问他:“你怎么样?你好吗?”
他的回答依然是:“嗯,我很好。我真地不想参与那种事儿。”
我离开自助餐厅的时候充分认识到,扭转这种状况所需的时间和所做的努力要比我想像的要多——即便是在能让他彻底“迷途知返”的情况下。
在当晚的全体工作人员会议上,我告诉了他们我对他的担忧。我向同事们说明他给我留下的印象,请求他们对他给以特别的关注,并尽可能花时间和他在一起。
每年我在营地度过的日子总是一晃而过,感觉比其它时间过得快。这次同样如此。我还没明白过来,星期三已成过去,露营的最后一晚来到了。我伴随营员们跳起“最后的舞蹈”。学生们都在竭力品味跟新“挚友”在一起的最后每一刻——他们或许以后再也见不到面了。
营员们共度这难忘的分别时刻,这时我突然目睹了我一生都记忆最清晰的一幕:那个曾透过厨房窗户茫然盯着外面的树下男孩,此时却成了不穿衬衫的跳舞奇才。他和两个女孩跳着摇摆舞,在舞池里到处舞动。我注视着他跟大家共享这亲密无间又意义深长的时刻,而仅仅几天前他却对他们连瞧也不瞧一眼。判若两人,让我无法相信。
我大二那年的十月,深夜的一个电话让我放下化学课本,一个柔和却生疏的声音彬彬有礼地问道:
“凯文在吗?”
“我就是,您是哪位?”
“我是汤姆?约翰逊的母亲,您还记得那个参加夏令营的汤米吗?”
树下的那个男孩,我怎么会不记得呢?
“我记得。”我说,“他是个很不错的小伙子,他现在情况怎么样?”
长长的反常沉默过后,约翰逊夫人又说道:“汤米这个星期从学校回家的时候,一辆汽车撞了他使他辞别人世。”我感到震惊,向她表示我的哀悼。
“我给您打电话,”她说,“只因为汤米好多次说起过您。我想让您知道,他今年秋季返校时有了自信心,交了新朋友,学习成绩提高了,甚至还出去约会过几次。我只想表达我的感激之情,因为是您改变了他。最后的这几个月是他度过的生命中最美好的时光。”
在那一刻,我意识到,你每天奉献出一点点还是容易得很,你可能永远都不知道你的举动对他人的影响有多大。我常常讲起这个故事,每当讲起的时候,我总是力劝别人也注意一下他们自己的“树下男孩”。
Over the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media。 The problem of food security has bee a hot button across society。 The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health, which the government could not afford to ignore, according to the online edition of the People Daily。 -
在过去的几年中,几起食品丑闻案件已经在各种媒体上披露。全社会的食品安全问题已经成为一个热题。食品不安全的盛行已经大大影响了群众的健康,根据人民日报网络版,政府不应当忽视这一问题。
There are a couple of driving forces, I would argue, behind this undesirable tide。 First, in the course of the rapid economic evolution, we ignore moral education, giving rise to the rising rate of the problem。 More importantly, the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend。 -
我认为这一不良行为的背后有很多驱动力。首先,在快速的经济进化过程中,我们忽视了道德教育,从而导致了这一问题不断上升。更重要的是,缺乏足够的对那些非法生产者的监管和处罚加强了这一局面。
As Confucius instructed, it is better late than never。 Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend。 The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again。 I am firmly convinced that through our bined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead。-
正如孔子教导的,迟到总比不到好。我们应当采取及时严厉的措施来扭转这一不好的局面。政府应当发起很多的道德运动以教育所有的市民,并制定更严厉的法律打击那些不负职责的企业,并禁止他们再次进入食品行业。我坚信,经过我们的共同努力,我们必须会在未来的日子中享受更多的无风险食品。

It is not easy to think positive thoughts when the world around you appears to be so negative. In fact, it can be as difficult as anything you’ve ever done. However, it is absolutely possible to fill your mind with positive thoughts no matter what the environment is. Doing so makes you powerful like nothing else can.
To think positively is to alignyourselfwith1 the truth that you’re immersed2 in limitless, growing abundance. To think positively is to pleasantly accept that your life is full of meaningful and unique achievements.
Instead of placing a judgement on your situation, apply your most positive purposes to that situation. Instead of seeing the world as negative, see yourself as a powerful agent of the positive possibilities.
If you find yourself giving in to negativity, you are selling yourself short. The moment you feel the slightest pain of a negative thought, stop and remind yourself how powerful you are. Do the intentional work of keeping your thoughts positive. Because whatever you always think is where your life will surely and steadily go.
当你周围的人或物都看似消极时,让你持有乐观思想并非是件容易的事。实际上,这和你做过的任何一件事一样难。然而,无论身处怎样的环境,用乐观的思想填充你的大脑是完全可能的。这样做会使你变得无比强大。
乐观地思考就是在证明一个事实——你的生活正处于日益丰盈的状态。乐观地思考也是在欣然接受一个事实——你的生活充满着意义深远、与众不同的成就。
不要只顾着对你所处的形势作出评价,要把你的积极目标付诸于实际。不要只看到世界的消极一面,要看到自己能够创造积极可能性的强大力量。
如果你发现自己正向消极屈服,那么你就是在轻视自己。在你感受到消极思想所带来的一丝疼痛的那一刻,停下来吧,提醒自己你是多么强大。做一些有利于塑造积极思想的事情,因为你的思想正引领着你生活稳步前行的方向。
