How well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? In our busy day to day existence, we don’t often stop to ask ourselves this question. At least I don’t. And it wasn’t until I joined a competitive sporting event that I learned a most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.
Let me tell you what happened.
I decided to take part in an International Marathon in my hometown last year. Being an ambitious person, I hoped to finish it within 5 hours, accompanied by my friend with whom I had trained.
The big day finally arrived. "Ready...set...bang" And we were off.
At first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop. At this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and I thought running a marathon was a piece of cake. Then my running mate began to slow down. I urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy. I felt I had partnered with the wrong person, therefore, I sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.
A few kilometers later, I began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk. After that I was incapable of moving another step. I was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me. More than once I thought "Maybe I should quit." I started to doubt my ability to finish this race.
At this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back. “Follow me,” he shouted. He had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same. For the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again. Slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.
Eventually we accomplished our first Marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours. I asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? My Marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.
Like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions. Like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty. And from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements. It is the interaction of these complementary extremes that produces harmony, as Laozi said, extremes meet. Since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak. Yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.
Ladies and Gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.
Thank you for listening.
Food between China and Western countries are totally different styles.China has 5000 years history. We probably spend half of time on food. Chinesepeople choice food very carefully. They only use fresh material to make food.For example they only eat fresh fish. Chinese have a lot of ideas and techniquesfor cooking. We can cook a chicken in over ten ways. That’s why Chinese food isso popular in the world. Western country like English or American, they don’thave fresh food because they buy their food from supermarket which only sellsstored materials. Western people would also prefer fast food like burgers andchips. They are unhealthy to human body. Western people do not have many skillsfor cooking, mostly they only boil, steam and bake the food. By the way, westernpeople are very good at making desert and chocolate. They can make very goodcake and chocolate. They are very sweet but it’s sort of food which make youbecome fat quickly.
In china if you invite people for meal, the person who invited other peoplewould pay for the meal but it’s not the way in Western country. In westerncountry people will think you only invited me but it’s not your responsibilityto pay for me. I can afford it. They won’t be happy if you pay for them. Peoplein China would always put dishes into customer’s plate to show theirhospitality, but they will think it’s not healthy because your chopsticks havebeen used by you. In western country like America not England, people willalways give tips to waiter after they finished meal in a restaurant. If youdon’t they will not be happy because tips are one of their major income. Inchina this only happen in some top restaurants and hotels in large internationalcities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Western people will also think youare rude if you make sound during the meal. Western people do not hold theirbowl up even when they have a bowl of soup.
There is also a huge difference between Chinese and Western people. Chinesepeople use chopsticks and western people use fork and knife. Usually people whouse fork and knife will use fork to hold the meat and cut it by knife and usefork to help to get that piece of meat into mouse. Chinese just use chopstick topick things and pass it into your mouse.
Chinese people only have three meals during a day. But western people willhave more, they have afternoon tea. Usually they would have fruits, homemadecake, tea (black tea) or biscuit with cheese. If you are a housewife and have alot of time, you may have morning tea as well.
Beggars are one of the most familiar groups in every city. They accompany us from our childhood until now, and I've found both the beggars and I change in this journey.
Years ago as a little girl, when I came across some old and disabled beggars on the road, I'd donate some pocket money to them, happily thinking I was helping.
s I have grown older, I've found the number of beggars has grown larger and they are more diverse. They appear in every corner of the city, on the overbridge, on the street, near restaurants, and even at your door. In contrast with the old days, it seems like the situation with beggars today is more complicated, which has made me hesitate before deciding whether to help them or not.
It's hard for me to give them money considering some who appear beggars in day time but dress up and go to fancy restaurants at night; and some who are controlled by some illegal organization and the money they get all goes to the organization. If I help them, I'd be making the problem worse, I'd be doing harm to the society, indirectly. But it's also hard not to give them money, considering there're real beggars who really need help. If I don't help them, who will? And where is my sympathy?
What hurts me the most is not how hard it is to distinguish the real help-seekers from the many false ones, but that some children are forced by adults, sometimes even their parents, to beg. They grow up despised by the world, out of mainstream society. When I see their eyes filled with desperation and impudence instead of purity and innocence, my heart sinks. We don't know how they will face the world when they grow up, how this will shape their characters, and what they may do to the society, to perpetuate this cycle of violence.
Months ago the Fu Jian government has promulgated a new policy to deal with 8 kinds of beggars. An internet survey shows that over 80% of voters reacted positively toward the policy. We know that one single policy cannot solve a problem as complex as this one, but we do look forward to some improvement. I wish all humanity can live like human.
今日乞丐
在城市中，乞丐是我们最熟悉的群体之一。他们伴随着我们的成长，从童年直到现在。在这个过程中，我发现，乞丐和我都在变。
小时候，每当看到路旁的乞丐，通常是老人或残疾人，我会给他们一些零钱，并且高兴地认为我帮了他们。
长大后，我发现身边乞丐的数量有所增加，而且他们种类繁多。他们无所不在，天桥上，大街上，饭馆旁，家门口，城市中处处是他们的身影。比起过去，今天的乞丐似乎更加复杂，使得我在决定帮不帮他们的时候犹豫不决。
想到那些白天装作乞丐行乞，而夜晚换装后跑到宾馆作乐的人;想到那些被不法集团控制，然后把乞讨来的钱上交给集团的人，我真的很难做到给他们钱。可是，想到那些真正需要帮助的乞丐，又很难做到不帮他们。如果不帮他们，我的同情心死到哪去了?
最让我难受的，并不是因为从众多的假乞丐中找出真乞丐是多么的困难，而是那些被成人，甚至被父母教唆，去乞讨的孩子们。他们在歧视中长大，和主流社会脱离。当我看到他们眼睛里本应有的纯真和童稚被绝望和无耻取代时，心里便很难受。我们不知道他们长大后会怎样面对这个世界，他们的性格会被童年的经历塑造成什么样子，以及他们有可能对社会做出怎样的事情---让恶性循环继续?
几个月前，福建省颁布了一项针对八类乞丐的新政策。网上调查显示，超过80%的人对此政策持乐观态度。虽然如此复杂的问题不能通过单单一项政策得以解决，我们还是期待着一些改善。愿所有的人都能像人一样活着。
Spring, I never had strong feeling to spring before last year. Some peoplesaid spring should be a happy season. But I never sensed that. I always likedthe autumn because I thought autumn was a romantic season. I liked summer when Iwas very young for I loved my skirt with lace.Now, I still like autumn andsummer,while I like spring and winter. Before I disliked the various colors ofthe flowers,and I thought they are flighty and superficial. I thought only onlythe blue ocean is deep, the golden autumn is elegant. However, now I have adifferent idea that I find spring wonderful. I like the blossom in the field andin the moutain. From them I am spirited with life.
春天,我没有强烈的感觉,去年春天。有人说春天应该是一个快乐的季节。但我从来没意识到。我喜欢秋天,因为我认为秋天是一个浪漫的季节。我喜欢夏天的时候我很年轻,我喜欢我的裙子镶上花边。现在,我仍然喜欢秋天和夏天,而我喜欢春天和冬天。之前我不喜欢各种颜色的花,我想他们是轻浮的,肤浅的。我只认为只有蓝色的海洋深处,金色的秋天是优雅。但是,现在我有不同的想法,我觉得春天的美妙。我喜欢在山顶的字段和开花。从我的生活。

“ We are made wise not by the recollections of the past but by our responsibility for the future”
----George Bernard Shaw
China is faced with some enormous challenges as it enters the 21st century. In order to ensure the prosperity of our nation and its future generations we must confront and ultimately solve these challenges.
Some of the more pressing issues facing China are universal. These include environmental degradation, over population andthe effects of globalization.
To overcome some of the things we need to implement include:
Enhancing our scientific and industrial technologies in such areas as IT, Bio- tech, AI and Cybernetics.
Further develop public infrastructure in under developed regions.
Promote education reform at all levels.
Introduce sustainable development initiatives.
The implementation of free trade agreement between China and ASEAN.
The benefit to China in introducing these initiatives will be significant and far-reaching. It is important to realize that these initiatives need to filter down through all elements of the society in China. For instance, cutting edge technologies and intellectual properties; the development of e-commerce based economy; an education system that encourages innovation and creativity; increased foreign investment; higher living standards; more efficient use of natural resources.
It is important for us to realize these reforms are both essential and necessary. These will help China to fulfill its vast and unrealized potential on the world stage. It will also contribute more to a globalized world of the new century.
As for the future our task is not to foresee but to enable.
I like a lot of foods, like rice, noodles, dumplings, porridge, hamburgersand so on. But my favourite food is dumplings. Every Sunday,my mother makes manydumplings for me. If she has no time to make the dumplings, I'll go to thesupermarket to buy some. Dumplings look like white boats. They tastedelicious.On my birthday every year, I usually make a lot of dumplings with mymother because I often ask some friends to eat them with me. There are differentkinds of vegetables in them. My friends all like to eat them very much.
Of all the foods,I like dumplings best. What about you, mydear friends? Doyou like dumplings,too?
我喜欢很多食物，像大米饭，面条，饺子，粥，汉堡包等等。但是我最喜爱的是饺子。每个星期天，我母亲经常为我包很多饺子。如果她没有时间做，我就去超级市场买一些。饺子看起来像白色的船。它们尝起来美味可口。每年在我生日那天，我经常和母亲包很多很多的饺子，因为我经常请朋友和我们一起吃饺子。饺子里面有不同种类的蔬菜。我的朋友们都非常喜欢吃。
在所有的食物中，我最喜欢吃饺子。你呢，我亲爱的朋友们?
你也喜欢吃饺子吗?
青春 YouthYouth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not amatter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, aquality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of thedeep springs oflife.青春不是年华，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。Youth means atemperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite foradventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than aboy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old bydeserting ourideals.青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。Yearsmay wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back todust.岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。Whether 60 or 16, thereis in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite forwhat’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart andmy heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages ofbeauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as youareyoung.无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。Whenyour aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and theice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerialsare up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at80.一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
Food Culture in Western Countries
In England, people always have some bread and milk for breakfast on weekdaywhich is always in a hurry. But on weekends, breakfast is a big feast withbacon, porridge, coffee, eggs, toasts, cakes, and so on.
在英国，人们总是在工作日的时候匆匆忙忙的吃一些面包和牛奶来当午餐。但在周末，早餐是非常丰富的，有培根，鸡蛋，粥，咖啡，面包，蛋糕等等。
As for lunch, it's always so simple. People usually have a sandwich or ahot dog. Some people also eat in a fast-food restaurant nearby. This meal won’tlast very long.
至于午餐，却总是那么简单。人们通常吃一个三明治或热狗。有些人在附近的快餐店吃。这顿饭不会持续很长时间。
Dinner is the biggest meal with potato, beef, chicken, soup, and somedesserts. At this meal, people usually sit around the table and talk about theirdaily events. This is the best time for family gathering.
晚餐是最丰富的有土豆，牛肉，鸡肉，汤，和一些甜点。在这顿饭中人们通常坐在桌子旁边谈论他们的日常活动。这是家庭聚会的最佳时间。
Cheese is the most popular food in European countries and the UnitedStates. According to different dishes and wine, different cheese is tied in. Thesimplest cheese is to put a certain amount of all kinds of cheese on a plate,called cheese dish.
在欧洲国家和美国奶酪是最受欢迎的食品。根据不同的菜肴和葡萄酒，奶酪是不同的。最简单的奶酪是把各种芝士按一定数量放到一个盘子上，叫做奶酪盘。
Jewish usually eat apples with honey on New Year's Day, in order tocelebrate the happiest New Year.
犹太人通常和自己所爱的人在新年的那一天吃苹果，来了庆祝这快乐的新年。
I like to go out with my parents, they will take me to differentrestaurants. In the restaurants, they like to order different food for me totaste them. My parents know me so much, they know I like to eat delicious food,so when they order the new food for me, it makes so happy, I like myparents.
译文：我喜欢和我的父母外出，他们会带我去不同的饭店。在饭店里，他们会为我点不同的食物来让我品尝。我的父母很了解我，他们知道我喜欢吃美味的食物，所以当他们为我点新食物的时候，我很高兴，我喜欢我的父母。
"You are what you eat." Nutrition experts often use this saying to promotebetter eating habits. What we put in our mouths does become a part of us. But wecan look at this statement another way. What we eat reflects who we are--aspeople and as a culture. Do you want to understand another culture? Then youought to find out about its food. Learning about American food can give us areal taste of American culture.
"你吃什么就成为什么样子"营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯，入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分.但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话，我们所吃的反映出我们自己--不论就人或文化而言.你想了解另一种文化吗?那么你应该去认识他们的食物.认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。
What is "American food"? At first you might think the answer is easy aspie. To many people, American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken andpizza. If you have a "sweet tooth," you might even think of apple pie orchocolate chip cookies. It's true that Americans do eat those things. But arethose the only kind of vittles you can find in America?
何谓「美式食物」?乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言，美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人，你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西，但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗?
Except for Thanksgiving turkey, it's hard to find a typically "American"food. The United States is a land of immigrants. So Americans eat food from manydifferent countries. When people move to America, they bring their cookingstyles with them. That's why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food inAmerica. In some cases, Americans have adopted foods from other countries asfavorites. Americans love Italian pizza, Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls.But the American version doesn't taste quite like the original!
除了感恩节火鸡以外，挺难找到典型的美国食物。美国是个移民之地，所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家，当人们移居美国，他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情况中，美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。美国人喜爱意大利的披萨，墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷，但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地!
As with any large country, the U.S.A has several distinct regions. Eachregion boasts its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoycountry-style cooking. Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine.Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes. Travel through theMidwest, "the breadbasket of the nation," for delicious baked goods. Cruise overto the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats. Finish your food tour in thePacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.
和许多大国一样，美国有数个截然不同的地区，每个地区都以自己特有的食物夸口。走访美国南部享受乡村式的烹调;到路易斯安纳州品尝辛辣的凯郡式料理;走一趟新英格兰试尝它美味的海鲜;再到中西部「美国的面包之乡」品尝可口的烘培食品;乘船游览至西南部尝试一些好吃的墨式德州小吃，最后到太平洋西北岸，啜饮美食家的咖啡，作为美食之旅的句点。
Americans living at a fast pace often just "grab a quick bite." Fast foodrestaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice.Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap. Of course, oneof the most common quick American meals is a sandwich. If it can fit between twoslices of bread, Americans probably make a sandwich out of it. Peanut butter andjelly is an all-time American favorite.
生活在快速步调之下的美国人通常只能「很快地吃几口」。快餐店提供赶时间的人各种食物，从炸鸡到炒饭，应有尽有。微波炉晚餐和实时餐点使得在家烧饭省事又快速。当然，最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。任何能夹在两片土司中间的东西，美国人就可以把它作成一份三明治，花生酱和果酱更是一直都深受美国人的喜爱。
Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food." Potato chips,candy bars, soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats. Many people eattoo many of these unhealthy snacks. But others opt for more healthy eatinghabits. Some even go "all natural." They refuse to eat any food prepared withchemicals or additives.
忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴，但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯，有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物，他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。
American culture is a good illustration of the saying "you are what youeat." Americans represent a wide range of backgrounds and ways of thinking. Thevariety of foods enjoyed in the U.S. reflects the diversity of personal tastes.The food may be international or regional. Sometimes it's fast, and sometimesit's not so fast. It might be junk food, or maybe it's natural food. In anycase, the style is all-American.
美国文化是「你吃什么就成为什么样子」这句话的好写照。美国人代表了范围广泛的背景和想法。在美国可享受到的各式食物正反映出个人品味的多样化。这食物可能是国际性也可能是地区性的;有时是快餐，有时也不见得;它可能是垃圾食物，也可能是天然食品。然而无论如何，它们都是美式的。
amatory love has been a mystery for ages. there's neither a criterion to judge nor a common rule to follow. nobody can tell the exact reasons why love emerges. it is not always because of beauty (the ugly doorkeeper quasimodo in the hunchback of notre dame is loved by the beautiful gypsy girl esmeralda),nor kindness (hitler also has his mistress),nor wisdom ( even the blockhead may sometimes marry a beautiful girl),nor strength (some love starts from sympathy).true love is like getting an electric shock, shaking our soul. it is a sweet dream, a kind of intoxication, indulgence, and endless passion.
true love doesn't need a long time to grow up, to make clear the family tree of the other, neither does it needs the time to look ahead and behind again and again. love is not marriage, which usually starts from love, but doesn't always depend on love to maintain. long-lasting marriage can eventually turn into a kind of family love, a kind of companionship which preserves the companion but loses the passion. love is often an wink of the eye, or a smile that hints mutual understanding. in spite of the great distance between them, people may fall in love incidentally. hence the saying “a distant marriage is tied up with a mysterious thread”. love needs passion, and it can stand bumps and stumbles, ups and downs, complaints and blames. when it turns into a pool of water, especially dead water, without any billows or waves, it's time for it to die.
Hello everybody, I am pleased to stand here and start my speech. I like dogs. No matter what kind of dog. Dogs are a very insecure animals.
Even if you walk alone in the dark, as long as there is nothing to fear, accompanied by dogs. Anyone who does not want to be protected it? Our family has a lot of dogs, they are well behaved, a good listener, always nice to sleep, eat. To not re-open defecation. They are sensible. High school to go home every day after school, they are always waiting for me at the stairs.
I'm always chasing its tail at the sight. Dogs are a very friendly animal. They always know what you need, but lonely and helpless when they will entertain themselves out from the stay with you.
They would take advantage of your hand, will be spoiled. Issued very cute voice. I like dogs. No matter what kind dog .
翻译：大家好，我很高兴站在这里，开始我的演讲。我喜欢狗。无论什么样的狗。狗是一种非常不安全的动物。
即使你独自一人在黑暗中行走，只要没有什么可以害怕的，伴着狗。任何不想被保护的人吗?我们的家庭有很多的狗，他们是很好的行为，一个很好的听众，总是很好的睡眠，吃。不重新开放排便。他们是明智的。高中每天放学回家后，他们总是在楼梯上等我。
我总是在视线中追逐它的尾巴。狗是一种非常友好的动物。他们总是知道你需要什么，但孤独无助的时候，他们会从你的陪伴下离开。
他们会利用你的手，会被宠坏的。发出非常可爱的声音。我喜欢狗。无论什么样的狗。
