However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call ithard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.Thefault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You mayperhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.Thesetting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as fromthe rich man\'s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I donot see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheeringthoughts,as in a palace.The town\'s poor seem to me often to live the mostindependent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive withoutmisgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but itoften happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonestmeans.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a gardenherb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes orfriends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell yourclothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
Ladies and Gentlemen: My topic is Honesty. As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story. /chuzhong/chusan/ 65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure. In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth. He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome. When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error. Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character. Thank you.
In China, the woman who is more than 40 year-old is called Da Ma, it has to be admitted that Da Ma is a powerful group, they own certain money at hand, we always hear about the news about them buying house everywhere or flying to the foreign country to buy the brands. The large group now has invaded the square at night, when the night comes, several groups of Da Ma go to the square, playing the music and dance until 9 o’clock. About few years ago, only few women would do this, but now, as the economy develops, people live a better life, so they begin to find entertainment. Da Ma have made the square dance popular, when we go out at night, we may find them dance everywhere. I think square dance is a good way for people to get exercise, they can keep fit.

Hello everyone!
I don't know if you remember Goethe once said: There is a long time between today and tomorrow; "Learn to do things quickly while you are still in the spirit".
For example, the luxury giant Louis Vuitton, the wonderful ups and downs of his life turning point amazed future generations. Born into a carpenter's family in the countryside, before the age of 14, his most contact was with flying sawdust. His life took a turn when he was 14, and he became a luxury giant.
When Louis Vuitton was 14 years old, two fashionably dressed young men came to the village. They laughed at the villagers for their old-fashioned clothes, "Why does the moon look so dirty in this ghost place"! These words stabbed Louis Vuitton deeply, and he was determined to go to Paris and see what the difference was between the people and the moon. After wandering all the way, Louis Vuitton finally came to Paris, but found that the moon here is not as clean and complete as that of his hometown, and the people's dresses made him an eye-opener. The destitute child lives in extreme hardship in Paris with no family and no reason. Later, he was starved to the door of a high-end luggage store, and the good-hearted owner rescued him. When he woke up, he seized the opportunity and asked the owner to take him in as a clerk. The shop owner rejected him, and after some setbacks, Louis Vuitton finally found his first job in Paris as an ordinary clothes bundler. He cherishes this job very much, asks the masters for advice humbly, studies the practice assiduously, and strives to make every detail perfect. He has always believed that everything learned today will become the seeds of tomorrow, and everything you have learned cannot be viewed from an overly utilitarian perspective. They are neither high nor low, nor worthless. It is safe”, what you sow today will reap what kind of tomorrow.
A year later, Louis Vuitton again came to the luggage store where he had initially starved, and again asked the owner to take him in, but the owner again refused him. In the end, he used his intelligence and ingenuity to make the shopkeeper make an exception to take him as an apprentice.
Apprentice Louis Vuitton is diligent, humble and enthusiastic in the store. Because he has worked as a carpenter, the luggage he makes is stronger; because he has worked as a bundler, the luggage he makes is more scientific and reasonable in space design. Soon, Louis Vuitton became a young master with excellent craftsmanship, and the luggage he introduced has maintained a good and outstanding sales record. Finally, he opened a luggage store on the Champs-élysées, paving the way for the advent of the fashion brand LV (Louis Vuitton).
It can be seen that any success is inseparable from accumulation. Without accumulation, there will be no discovery and innovation, and there will be no creation. In today's increasingly competitive society, we can't just work hard, but also pay attention to scientific thinking.
My speech is over, thank you all!
亲爱的朋友们：
大家好!
不知道大家记不记得歌德曾经说过：在今天和明天之间，有一段很长的时间;“趁你还有精神的时候，学习迅速办事”。
好比奢侈品巨头路易·威登，他人生转折的精彩跌宕让后人赞叹不已。他出生于乡下一个木匠之家，14岁之前他接触最多的是飞溅的木屑。14岁时他的人生有了转折，他后来成了奢侈品巨头。
在路易·威登14岁时，村子里来了两位打扮时尚的年轻人，他们嘲笑村民们衣着老土，“这个鬼地方怎么月亮都显得那么肮脏”!这些话深深地刺伤了路易·威登，他决心要去巴黎，看看那里的人和月亮究竟有什么不同。一路颠沛游离，路易·威登终于来到巴黎，却发现这里的月亮并不比家乡的干净圆满，人们的装扮倒让他大开眼界。这个赤贫的孩子在巴黎无亲无故，生活异常艰难困苦。后来，他竟饿倒在一家高档皮箱店门口，好心肠的店主将其救起。他醒来后，抓住机会，请求店主收留他当一名店员。店主拒绝了他，经过一番坎坷挫折，路易·威登终于在巴黎找到了第一份工作，当了一名普通的捆衣工。他十分珍惜这份工作，虚心向师傅们请教，刻苦钻研实践，力争每一个细节都完美无缺。他始终相信：今天所学的一切都必将成为明天的种子，不能用过于功利的眼光来看待眼前所学的一切，它们并没有高低贵贱之分，更不会毫无价值，“既来之则安之”，在今天种下什么，以后就会收获一个什么样的明天。
一年后，路易·威登再次来到最初饿倒的那家皮箱店，再次请求店主收留他，店主再次拒绝了他。最终他用自己的聪明与才智让店主破例收留了他做一名学徒。
学徒路易·威登在店里勤奋精进，谦卑热忱，因为做过木工，他做的皮箱更加结实;因为做过捆衣工，他做的皮箱在空间设计上更加科学合理。很快，路易·威登成为一位手艺超群的年轻师傅，他所推出的皮箱一直保持着良好突出的销量记录。最后，他在香榭丽舍大街开了一家皮箱店，为时尚品牌lv(路易威登)的问世开辟出了道路。
可见任何成功都离不开积累，没有积累就谈不上发现与创新，也就没有创造。在当下这个日益竞争激烈的社会，我们不能一味的努力，还要讲究科学的思考。
我的演讲结束，谢谢大家!
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in ahour. Several days ago I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I‘d like to share it with all of you. Let‘s show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well let‘s make a fist. where is our future? where is our love career and life? Tell me.Yeah it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don‘t cry because it is over smile because it happened. From the past we‘ve learnt that the life is tough but we are tougher. We‘ve learnt that we can‘t choose how we feel but we can choose what
about it. Failure doesn‘t mean you don‘t have it it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn‘t mean you should give up it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the beginning “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world the world will give to us. And from today on let‘s be the owners of ourselves and speak out “We are the world we are the future.”
How to Stay Healthy How to Stay Healthy
nothing is more valuable than health. it is the foundation of one’s future success. generally speaking, a Healthy person can always be energetic and enjoy his life and achieve what he hopes for in his career. on the contrary, poor in health, a person can not achieve much though he is well-educated. then, what should we do to maintain and enhance our health and do you know to keep Healthy? let’s start in three aspects------keep a balanced diet, give up bad habits and take regular exercise.
firstly, keep a balanced diet. scientific research sHows us How a balanced diet is made up-----a pyramid. the lowest floor sHows us the main food we need at least 300g everyday. like, bread, rice, noodle etc. the second floor contains vegetables and fruits which are full of vitamin c and vitamin e and other nutrition good for our health. we should eat it more than 400g in our diet. the third floor has meat, fish and egg that we often eat in our daily meal. but we should be cautious about these foods and eat less than 100g. the fourth floor which is soy-based food and dairy products which is easy to get us fat for its high caloric. 70 g is enough. the top floor sHows oil and salty products we should eat only 30g or 50g at most. if each meal we eat following this balanced diet, eating Healthy, i believe we can be Healthy and keep a nice figure.
secondly, give up bad habits. as we know, drinking too much is harm to our stomach; smoking is bad to our lung. it also reported that every year more than 110 thousand people was poisoned then killed by alcohol in china and more than 3.5 million people in the world are killed by diseases because of smoking. so we should drink less and stop smoking. as a teenager, we often Stay up to prepare our next day examination or play puter games that not only cost our time but also kill ourselves. we should give up these bad habits and make a balanced schedule to keep a good state.
finally, take regular physical exercise which is essential for a relaxed mind and body. taking frequent exercise, can improve and balance the function of your heart and lung, prevent osteoporosis, burn the flab, enhance metabolism and strengthen
immunity, relieve pressure of study or work. for example, yoga can improve your rate of breath by calming down your mind and body, and get rid of distractions and tenacity to concentrate on certain item. what’s more, it help you keep a perfect figure by strengthen your arm and get every joints of your body active and relax your body. now, this kind aerobic activity is popular which include swimming, riding, jogging and yoga etc. so, let’s join sports to keep fit.
in conclusion, if everyone can stick to what is mentioned above, keep a balanced diet, give up your bad habits and take regular exercise, then you will be perfect and Healthy.
Good morning everyone！
let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today.
"mum, i'm sorry, but i need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year."
"mum, it is my friend's birthday tomorrow, i must buy her a present."
"mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? "
take. take. take. the relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. i know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything i need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. i never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, "will there be a time that you'll say you have taken enough from me? "
like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. we enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. we take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. we appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. as we tragically learned from last summer's floods. we cannot continue our carelessness.
finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of our posterity. nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come. how severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? how much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on. let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment. with this new start, i firmly believe, that our children, and our children's children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
It is 20 years since the City of Taizhou was set up. Our city has become richer and people feel happier. Recently, all of us are talking about how to be civilized students in our .school.
In my opinion, we should be polite to our parents and help them do more housework at home. At school, we should respect our teachers, get on well with our classmates and study hard. We should also obey traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we should stop. When we wait for a bus, we should wait in line. Don't throw litter or spit in public. And we'd better not talk or laugh loudly. We should never say dirty words. Be friendly to others and always ready to help the people in need.
If everyone behaves well, our city will be more beautiful and more attractive.
Let's join together to be civilized students!
Dear Peter,
How is it going? At my school we’re talking about what we should do to be a good student.
To be a polite middle school student, I think we have to do a lot of things. First,it’s important for us to speak politely. We must respect the others. When I meet someone I know , I often greet him by saying hello to him happily. We are supposed to be kind to others, warm-hearted to everyone, and generous to our friends. Second, we can’t throw rubbish everywhere. We must throw them in the rubbish bins. Littering is not a good habit. Every time I go to the park, I always pick up the litter and put it into the bin. I think if we all do so, the world will be cleaner. Another important thing is that we must follow the rules. There is no doubt that waiting in line is the important rule. I never rush into the bus. Waiting may be a happy thing. I foten feel happy when I do something that is better for us. I think being a polite middle school student is proud.
Anything new at your school?
You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of yourlife. you will never succumb to challenges of hardships.
You will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. after all,you are thebest, and you deserve the best!
As your coach and friend, i can assure you the door to all the best thingsin the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. youmust do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take theactions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. i know you must doit, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!
Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out:
I must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed!
Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding orgetting something that they want. However, not many people have ever foundlong-term happiness by achieving a goal. There will always be another thing thatthey want. There will always be another exam or another dollar.
许多人都相信,找到幸福就等于找到或得到他们的心仪之物。然而,很多人并没有在目标实现之后就获得长久的幸福。这是因为人们总想要得到更多的东西,总还要走入考场,总还要赚更多的钱。
To break this vicious cycle, we must find our happiness somewhere else—within ourselves. In other words, happiness is completely an inside job. Thekey to finding happiness is to understand that happiness is a choice rather thanthe result of an experience. We have been given everything
为了打破这种恶性循环,我们必须在其他地方找到幸福——那就是在我们的内心世界里。换句话说,幸福是心灵的产物。得到幸福的关键就在于要懂得幸福是一种选择,而不是经历的结果。
We need to be happy. Allow yourself to choose happiness. If life wasperfect, would you be happy? Life is perfect because we create it with ourchoices. Since we can create life, we can create happiness and choose how muchbetter our lives can get!
我们已经拥有获得幸福所需要的一切。去选择自己的幸福吧!倘若生活是完美的,你会觉得幸福吗?人生之所以完美就因为它是我们通过选择创造出来的。既然我们能创造生活,我们就能创造幸福,并选择更美好的人生!
Only when we can accept that life is perfect as it is, and that our livesare the sum total of everything that has happened up to this moment, can weaccept the joy and the happiness we deserve.
我们只有在接受生活原本就很完美,并且生活就是此刻所经历之事的全部之时,我们才能得到我们应得的那份喜悦与幸福。
change want me to be safe to i want to be safe
i have read this report, a domestic company asked a representative of the united states to conduct on-the-spot guidance. the representative of the united states has stood strong when he entered job location. he said:” all visitors to the site must wear safety helmet, i wear a helmet for my own safety.” after reading this story, i could not help applauding for his safety awareness.
i want to be safe, so i will do risk analysis properly and seriously with my colleagues before work, this will root out incipient fault.
i want to be safe, so i will always remind my partners achieving three-no harm in the operations, because whoever comes out of the accident, we do have a kind of pain from his injury.
i want to be safe, so i work hard to strengthen my work skills, as it is the only way i will know what kind of work practice hiding security problems, i will learn to prepare and avoid accidents.
of course, we emphasize and promote i want to be safedoes not negate“want me to be safe, but should pay attention to coordination and unity of both. if we only pay attention to i want to be safe, and fail to pay attention to want me to be safe , it is wrong, and the basis of production safety will not be solid, too.
变化要我安全，我要安全
我已经看过这份报告，一家国内公司请美国代表进行实地指导。当他进入工作地点时，美国的代表已经强大起来了。他说：“进入现场必须戴安全帽，我戴上头盔，为了我自己的安全。”读完这个故事，我不禁鼓掌，为他的安全意识。
我想是安全的，所以我会认真做风险分析，认真和我的.同事们在工作前，这将根出早期故障。
我想是安全的，所以我会经常提醒我的伙伴实现三个没有伤害的操作，因为无论是谁出来的意外，我们有一种痛苦，从他的伤害。
我要安全，所以我努力工作，以加强我的工作技能，因为它是的方式，我会知道什么样的工作实践中隐藏的安全问题，我将学习准备和避免意外。
当然，我们强调和倡导我要safedoes不否定“要我安全，但要注意两者有机的协调和统一。如果我们只注意我要安全，不注意要我安全，这是错误的，生产安全的基础也不牢固。
A Brother Like That A Brother Like That A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?"
he said. Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."
The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ."
He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish,"
the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes, Id love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?"
the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sathim down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give . . . "
中文译文;
哥哥的心愿圣诞节时，保罗的哥哥送他一辆新车。圣诞节当天，保罗离开办公室时，一个男孩绕着那辆闪闪发亮的新车，十分赞叹地问：
"先生，这是你的车?"
保罗点点头："这是我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物。"男孩满脸惊讶，支支吾吾地说："你是说这是你哥送的礼物，没花你一分钱?天哪，我真希望也能……"
保罗当然知道男孩他真想希望什么。他希望能有一个象那样的哥哥。但是小男孩接下来说的话却完全出乎了保罗的意料。
"我希望自己能成为送车给弟弟的哥哥。"男孩继续说。
保罗惊愕地看着那男孩，冲口而出地说："你要不要坐我的车去兜风?"
"哦，当然好了，我太想坐了!"
车开了一小段路后，那孩子转过头来，眼睛闪闪发亮，对我说："先生，你能不能把车子开到我家门前?"
保罗微笑，他知道孩子想干什么。那男孩必定是要向邻居炫耀，让大家知道他坐了一部大轿车回家。但是这次保罗又猜错了。"你能不能把车子停在那两个台阶前?"男孩要求道。
男孩跑上了阶梯，过了一会儿保罗听到他回来了，但动作似乎有些缓慢。原来把他跛脚的弟弟带出来了，将他安置在第一个台阶上，紧紧地抱着他，指着那辆新车。
只听那男孩告诉弟弟："你看，这就是我刚才在楼上对你说的那辆新车。这是保罗他哥哥送给他的哦!将来我也会送给你一辆像这样的车，到那时候你就能自己去看那些在圣诞节时，挂窗口上的漂亮饰品了，就象我告诉过你的那样。"
保罗走下车子，把跛脚男孩抱到车子的前座。兴奋得满眼放光的哥哥也爬上车子，坐在弟弟的身旁。就这样他们三人开始一次令人难忘的假日兜风。
那个圣诞夜，保罗才真正体会主耶稣所说的"施比受更有福"的道理。
the english speech about success
i’m glad to be here to share with you my definition of success.
when we mentioned the success, the usual worldly criteria are wealth, fame, high social status and something other like that. in reality, we can’t deny t these things in some way. but personally, i believe that success is the realization of people’ hopes and wishes. and to live with a high ideal is a successful life. it is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that make a man strong. so i believe that success is ninety-nine percent mental attitude, it calls for lots of positive quality: effort, love, diligence, efficiency and so on. i think the successful life always have these characters. if a person inherits his family’s millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person in material terms, it just can be said that he has the smooth way of life, he is lucky in some way, but that is not the success .unceasing effort is the price of success. no matter what is the result, we always can get more from the process. what we should do is that insisting on our goals or dreams and always encourage
ourselves to challenge more, to hold the opportunities, never give up. it sounds like simple, but it is really hard to do. also the key points of the success.
relatively speaking, in our daily life, success would be rather simple. for me, i’m standing here to take part in the speech competition is somehow also success. as i’m a easy to suffer from stage fright, i choose to hold this chance, my goal is my own character training——to be more confident, to have more courage to front such situation, i really do it, i have truly gained by participating, i’m success.
what is success? i’m sure that everyone has his own interpretation as i do. in the inspiring words of philips brooks:“ do not pray for tasks equal to your powers ,pray for powers equal to your tasks, then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.” so believe in our hopes ,believe in ourselves. every one can create the success.
thank you!

文明素来是中华民族代代相传的传统美德，作为新时代的接班人，我们要继承传统、倡导文明、讲究礼仪、树立新风。
civilization is always the traditional virtues of the chinese nation be handed down from age to age, as a new era of successors, we must inherit the tradition, advocate of civilization, courtesy, establishing new practice.
中国是一个有着五千年历史的文明古国，中华民族素来是一个温文尔雅、见义勇为、谦恭礼让的文明之邦。华夏儿女的举手投足，音容笑貌无一不体现一个人的气质与素养。荀子云：不守礼无以立，人无礼则不生，事无礼则不成，目无礼则不宁。文明礼仪是我们学习的根基，是我们健康成长的臂膀。
china is a big country with a long history of ancient civilization, the chinese nation has always been a refined and cultured, do boldly what is righteous, humility comity and civilized state. china children's behavior, one's voice and expression does not reflect a person's temperament and accomplishment. xun ziyun: no good manners not to legislate, people are not rude health, things are not rude, orders are not rude ning. civilized etiquette of our study is a foundation, is the healthy growth of our arms.
我国教育家陶行知先生有一句名言：千教万教人求真，千学万学学做真人。说的是教师首先要教育学生做一个真诚的人。而学生的学习也应该首先学会做人，学做文明之人。只有这样，我们才能做到“爱国守法，明诚礼信，团结友善，勤俭自强”。
china educator mr. tao xingzhi had a famous saying: thousand teach million teaches truth, thousand learn ten thousand learn to be reality. that is the teacher first to educate the students to be a true man. and the students also should first learn to be, learn to do civilized people. only in this way, we can achieve the " patriotic and law-abiding, in courtesy letter, friendliness, diligence and self-improvement ".
蓝天和白云一样，希望白鸽自由地飞翔。
the blue sky and white clouds, hope pigeon flying freely.
老师同父母一样，希望我们快乐成长。
teachers and parents, we hope that the happy growth.
在这美好的日子里，我们走进一中这个快乐的地方，在和谐校园愉快的歌唱。
in this beautiful day, we went to this happy place, singing happily in the harmonious campus.
在这美好的日子里，我们敖游在一中这个知识的海洋，和老师一起编织梦想。
in this beautiful day, we travel in the ocean of knowledge, and teachers together to weave a dream.
在这美好的日子里，我们愿意用心情的音符去谱写和谐校园的快乐。
There is no doubt that the arts festival enriches our college life an extracurricular activity. However when it comes to what should be included in the arts festival different people have different views. Some insists on performing arts such as dances and dramas. Still others argue for the work of art like paintings and calligraphy. Personally I agree with the latter and I strongly recommend that photographic works should be counted as an important aspect of the arts festival.
毫无疑问，艺术节丰富了我们大学生活中的课外活动。然而，每当说起艺术节该包含什么节目，不同的人有不同的想法。有些人坚持表演艺术，像舞蹈和话剧。有些人辩论说应该也有绘画和书法的作品。个人来说，我同意后者而且我强烈推荐摄影作为艺术节中重要的一部分。
My suggestion lies in the following two reasons. On the one hand for he students who take photos the photographic exhibition can stimulate them to discover the beauty that permeates our surroundings. As the saying goes beauty is in the eye of the beholder; such an activity will definitely foster sharp eyes of photographers to-be. On the other hand for the students who appreciate the photos they are given a shortcut to the beauty of the nature and the society. Maybe by this way they find the sense of the life and enjoy the life more in the future.
我的建议基于以下两点。从一方面来说，对于拍照的同学，摄影展示能够激发他们去发现我们身边的美。常言道，美在观察者的眼中;像这种活动绝对能够培养未来摄影者的锐利目光。从另一方面来说，对于喜欢照片的同学来说，他们就有了一条通向自然和社会的美景的捷径了。也许通过这个方式，他们能够找到生活的感觉，未来也会更加享受生活。
In short the photographic exhibition can get the students to discover and appreciate beauty. I believe that it is wise to involve the photographic works into the university arts festival.
简言之，摄影展能够让同学发现和欣赏美。我相信把摄影展加入到大学艺术节是明智的。
Ladies and gentlemen:
Good morning! Today, the title of my speech is A Lesson from Nature.
Around us , there are plants, animals and many other things. We live in nature, so to keep the balance of nature is very important for us. But today, too many trees are still being cut down in many countries and flood all over the world are getting more and more serious, A lot of land has gone with them. This is a lesson from nature.
When people move into a new place, they often cut down trees or pull out many wild plants to make farmland. They don’t know that trees can stop flood and wind from washing or blowing the earth away, and that many of these wild plants are food for some wild animals. If the animals can’t find enough plants to eat, they will die or have to leave the place.
In one part of the United States, for example, the deer there like to eat a kind of wild flowers. The mountain tigers there eat the deer. But people killed many mountain tigers to protect the deer. soon there were so many deer that the ate up all the wild flowers. Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of the young trees .so the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees, then the deer had nothing to eat and many of them died.
The number of trees, deer, tigers, wild flowers and plants has changed much—less and less. We need to do more to keep the balance of nature.
Thank you!
女士们，先生们：
早上好！今天，我演讲的题目是一个自然的课程。
在我们身边，有植物，动物和许多其他的东西。我们生活在自然中，所以保持自然的平衡对我们来说非常重要。但是今天，许多国家和地区的许多国家和地区的洪水都越来越严重，许多国家和地区都越来越严重，许多国家都在和他们一起走了。这是一个自然的教训。
当人们进入一个新的地方，他们经常会砍伐树木或拔出许多野生植物来制造农田。他们不知道，树木可以阻止洪水和风吹走地球的距离，而许多野生植物是一些野生动物的食物。如果动物找不到足够的植物吃，他们就会死亡或离开的地方。
在美国的一个部分，例如，鹿有喜欢吃一种野生花卉。山虎在那里吃鹿。但人们杀了许多山虎保护鹿。很快，有那么多的鹿，吃了所有的野生花卉。于是鹿开始吃小树的绿叶，于是农民们想办法保护他们的树木，于是，鹿什么也吃不到，他们中的许多人都死了。
树木、鹿、老虎、野生花卉和植物的数量变化不多，也越来越少。我们需要做更多的事情来保持自然的平衡。
谢谢你！
Some people often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things the world.However，I have my reservations.In my submission，reading is more valuable than anything else.It’s well known that book is the quintessence of human wisdom.Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Sometimes our daily life can start to feel dull，dry or depressing — I know it，you know it，we all know it. At times like this，I like to dive into a good fiction book for a much-needed escape into another world，where I can forget about whatever problems are stressing me out. Whether you want to travel to the land of the Hobbits，a galaxy far away or a tropical destination in a steamy romance novel is up to you. You’ll come back refreshed after your mini-vacation to a fresh and exciting place in the world of words.
Books are our friends. They introduce us different kinds of knowledge. They lead us down the road to success.
Books are our teachers. They teach us troth，science，literature，and philosophy of life. Besides，they increase our knowledge，enlarge our experience，strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.
Books tell us what is good and what is evil. And only books can tell the good from the bad.
Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.
Reading introduced me to concepts like mindful eating，relaxation exercises，and the importance of loving yourself. If I didn’t read，I wouldn’t even be aware of these ideas，which have defined my entire coaching philosophy. If you don’t read，you could be missing out on intriguing ideas that would likewise re-define your personal purpose or business philosophy.
As is well known，books teach us to learn life，truth，science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge，broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words，they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.
Reading is a good thing，but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However，bad books will do us more harm than good.
However，in current days，many of us spend most of the leisure time in playing games or surfing the internet，instead of reading. it's a pity to find it less and less our students are interesting in reading，or have formed a habit of reading.So，in order to revive reading，this beneficial activity，we'd better take action right now.let's read together，learn together and grow！
One is never too old to learn.No matter at what time we realize the importance of reading，we can enjoy it during the rest of our life and finally we will see that it is rewarding to do so.
keep your direction
what would you do if you failed? many people may choose to give up. however, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
on your way to success, you must keep your direction. it is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
direction means objectives. you can get nowhere without an objective in life.
you can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. in this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. and you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
坚持你的方向
如果失败了你会怎么做?很多人可能会选择放弃。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是坚持你的方向和目标。
在通往成功的路上，你必须坚持你的方向。它就像一盏灯，在黑暗中为你指路，帮助你度过难关。否则，你很容易就会迷失方向或犹豫不前。
方向意味着目标。人生如果没有目标，将一事无成。
你可以试着把你的目标写在纸上，并制定实现目标的计划。这样，你就会懂得如何合理安排时间，如何正确地支配时间。而且你还要有这样的信念：只要你一直坚持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。
good afternoon ，ladies and gentlemen!
i’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! to begin with ,i want to ask a question .does everybody dream a good dream last night? actually ,today i want to talk about dream with you. of course, what i want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.
everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. with the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer confused.with the dream, there is hope,with hope, we have the strength to fight.
i'll do every bit to cure the incurable. i hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no aids, no fatal diseases. i'm confident that through the joint efforts of you and me, man will put an end to his bodily sufferings and this dream of mine will one day be brought into reality.
Hi，everyone.Today my topic is about environmental protection.
Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded.
We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive.
Pollution has been a serious problem for a certain time around the world. There are many causes for it. Transportation is the main factor of pollution. When the waste gas from cars is released, the air is polluted. People breathing in the polluted air can develop respiratory disease. Another factor is that
people throw their garbage everywhere. All kinds of garbage not only spoil the splendid environment, but also cause environmental pollution. Wastewater from factories is also poured into rivers and this causes water pollution
Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.
Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.
OK，we have known that we can prevent pollution if everyone makes the efforts. So，let’s do it now . That's it.Thank you everyone!
. 今天，我们的自然环境质量已经成为一个重要问题。世界人口增长如此之快，世界已变得过于拥挤。
我们正在利用我们的自然资源，同时污染的危险化学品的环境。如果我们继续做这个地球上，生活无法生存。
污染已经成为一定时期内时间范围内的一个严重问题。 原因很多，交通玉树是主要原因，当汽车排出废气时，空气就被污染了，人们呼吸了被污染的空气，会导致呼吸道疾病。 另外一个原因就是人们随处乱扔垃圾，不仅破坏了美观的环境，还污染了环境。工业废水也排入河流，引起水污染。
有关人士取得了一些在环境保护方面的进展。许多国家的政府已建立了法律，保护空气，森林和海洋资源，并停止对环境的污染。
但更应采取措施来解决环境问题。人们应该进一步的教育，认识到问题的重要性，使用现代节育方法，以保护我们的天然资源和循环利用我们的产品。我们相信，我们可以有一个更加美好，更清洁的地方。
This year's summer vacation was most enjoyable. I spent fifteen days helping my grandparents doing farm work in the countryside， where I saw mountains and fields covered with green plants. Sometimes I went swimming in the river to the west of the village， the water in which was quite clear.
I kept a diary every day. Besides doing farm work， I help the children in the neighborhood with their lessons. All of them showed much interest in English. They could read and write well， but they could hardly understand simple English. So every day in the morning I spent about two hours helping them improve their listening and spoken English. They all made great progress. Their parents all thought highly of me. I now realize that knowledge is very much needed in the countrysideThis year's summer vacation was most enjoyable.

Dear teachers and students
What is the most precious thing in the world? There is no doubt that it is human life!
Everyone is lucky to come to this beautiful earth. In a short life, as long as you live forever, you can enjoy the fresh air, the warm sunshine, the love of your relatives, the filial piety of your children, the changing life, and look forward to one beautiful hope after another.
Common sense of family fire prevention:
1. Cigarette butts and matches should not be thrown about
Do not throw cigarette butts and matchsticks in waste paper baskets or combustible sundries at will. Do not smoke in bed or on the sofa.
2. Frequent inspection of wires and sockets
Do not connect and pull wires privately, and do not overload power. Do not use too many electrical equipment on the socket, and do not use copper, iron, aluminum wire to replace the fuse on the knife switch.
3. Cut off the power when you leave home
Before leaving home or going to bed, check the electric appliances, gas switches and left kindling. When the electric equipment is not used for a long time, cut off the power supply or unplug the plug.
4. Safe use of gas
When using liquefied gas, open the gas valve before ignition. After use, turn off the gas valve before turning off the stove. Do not dump residual liquid of liquefied petroleum gas at will. If the gas leaks, close the gas valve quickly and open the window for ventilation. Do not touch the electrical switch and use open fire. Remember not to call in the place where the gas leaks.
"A lesson from the past and a teacher for the future", fire safety work has only a starting point and no ending point. Establishing a good fire safety management order is the premise and key to the development of our education.
"Stay away from fire and create a harmonious society" is our common goal. Let's work together to care more about life and fire safety. May each of us be full of love, love ourselves and loved ones. For fire safety, start with me. Work together to protect yourself and others' peace and happiness!
Thank you!
as we know, you have to learn how to fly much more independently instead of under your parents’ considerate protection when you get into college, which also means you will come across enormous questions that should be solved by yourself. from my point of view, those main problems can fall into three parts.
first of all, the complicated relationship. for one thing, you have to know how cultural differences function in your relationship and respect them. in addition, college students spend less time studying together owing to different courses’ choosing, which requires us to devote more energy to building relationship. for the other thing, it is also vital to communicate with your parents often by using mobile phones or other tools.
Helping every american with autism achieve their full potential is one of this administration’s top priorities. at the u.s. department of health and human services, we continue to strive to meet the complex needs of all people with autism spectrum disorders (asd) and their families. while there is no cure, early intervention is critical and can greatly improve a child’s development.
Perhaps the biggest step we’ve taken to support those affected by autism and their families happened over a year ago, with the signing of the affordable care act. now, new insurance plans are required to cover autism screening and developmental assessments for children at no cost to parents. insurers will also no longer be allowed to deny children coverage for a pre-existing condition such as asd or to set arbitrary lifetime or annual limits on benefits.
Also, thanks to the new law, young adults are allowed to stay on their family health insurance until they turn 26. for a young adult with autism spectrum disorder and their family, that means peace of mind. it means more flexibility, more options, and more opportunity to reach their full potential.
The first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady tous.
"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later. She jokinglyreplied, " I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple ofchildren, and then retire and travel."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivatedher to betaking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a collegeeducation and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we wouldleave class together and tolk nonstop. I was always listening to this "timemachine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to make a speech to our footballteam. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she began to deliverher preparedspeech, she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she simplysaid, "I'm sorry. This whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back inorder so let me just tell you what I know." As we laughed she cleared her throatand began:" We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because westop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, andachieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got tohave a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walkingaround who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference betweengrowing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed forone full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talentor ability. The idea is togrow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. Theelderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we didnot do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree. One week aftergraduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college studentsattended her funeral to honorthe wonderful woman who taught by example that it'snever too late to be all you can possibly be.
开学第一天，教授把一位小个子老太太介绍给了我们。
随后我问道，“你为什么这么“年轻”还来读大学?”她开玩笑地回答：“我来这儿是为了认识一个有钱的丈夫，结婚，生几个孩子，然后退休去旅行。”
“不，认真点儿。”我问道。我很好奇，到底是什么东西让她在这个年纪还要接受这样一个挑战。“我一直梦想着上大学，现在我就在读大学!”她告诉我。
我们马上成了朋友。在随后的三个月里，我们每天一起离开教室，不停地交谈。我总是和历经了岁月沧桑的她一起分享她的智慧和经验。
期末的时候，我们邀请罗斯给我们的橄榄球队讲话。我永远都不会忘记她教给我们的东西。就在她要开始进行她事先准备好的演讲时，她把写了要点的卡片掉在了地上。她有点儿尴尬，但只是说，“对不起。这酒可真要命!我没办法再准备好我的讲稿了，就让我把我知道的东西告诉你们吧。”我们笑了起来，她清了清嗓子，开始演讲：“我们并不是因为年老就不再玩耍;我们变老是因为我们不再玩耍。只有四个秘密可以让你保持年轻，快乐，获得成功。你必须每天都开怀大笑，寻找幽默。你必须有一个梦想。失去了梦想，你就会虽生犹死。我们周围有很多人，他们已经‘死了’，自己却不知道。成长和长大之间有着巨大的差距。如果你现在19岁，躺在床上整整一年什么都不做，你也还会变成20岁。每一个人都会长大，这不需要任何天赋和能力。要不断地在变化中寻找机遇，这样才是成长。
不要留有遗憾。老年人通常不会为做过的事遗憾，而是为还没有做过的事情感到遗憾。只有那些有遗憾的人才会怕死。”
年底的时候，罗斯获得了大学学位。毕业一星期后，她在梦中安详地离开了人世。两千多名大学生参加了她的葬礼，来纪念这位通过自己的亲身经历来告诉我们永远都可以成就自己的理想的了不起的老人。
I don't think so. printed books won't be abandoned in such a short time. I admit that new technology is developing fast.
Many advanced electronic products are gradually take the place of traditional tools. Just like in university, teachers like to use multimedia in class for it is quite convenient and efficient. However, for our student, it is not realistic to study completely by electronic products.
There are many things need to recorded on books. Books are something meaningful and practical. I should say, in our country, printed books wouldn't be abandoned within 20 years at least for two reasons.
Firstly, books are classical container of knowledge. They accompany human to advance. A student without books could be someway ridiculous.
Secondly, our country haven't developed so strong to make every student study by computer or other forms of electronic tools. And even after 20 years, the possibility is also very small.
I also think it is unnecessary because books are cheap but useful and still meaningful.
good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
we've gone from losing 9 million jobs during the financial crisis to creating 10 million jobs. we've reduced the unemployment rate from 10% in october of to 6.1% today. and for the first time since the 1990s, american manufacturing is steadily5 adding jobs-over 700,000 since . and surveys of both american and foreign business leaders confirm that america once again is viewed as the best place in the world to build and invest.
that's all good news.
but an awful lot of middle class americans are still not feeling the effects of this recovery. since the year , gross domestic product-our gdp - has risen by 25%. and productivity in america is up by 30%. but middle class wages during that same time period have gone up by only fourteen cents.
folks, it's long past time to cut the middle class back into the deal, so they can benefit from the economic growth they helped create. folks, there used to be a bargain in this country supported by democrats6 and republicans, business and labor7. the bargain was simple. if an employee contributed to the growth and profitability of the company, they got to share in the profits and the benefits as well. that's what built the middle class. it's time to restore the bargain, to deal the middle class back in. because, folks, when the middle class does well, everybody does well-the wealthy get wealthier and the poor have a way up.
you know, the middle class is not a number. it's a value set. it means being able to own your home; raise your children in a safe neighborhood; send them to a good school where if they do well they can qualify to go to college and if they get accepted you'd be able to find a way to be able to send them to college. and in the meantime, if your parents need help, being able to take care of them, and hope to put aside enough money so that your children will not have to take care of you.
that's the american dream. that's what this country was built on. and that's what we'redetermined8 to restore.
in order to do that, it's time to have a fair tax structure, one that values paychecks as much as unearned income and inherited wealth, to take some of the burden off of the middle class. it's time to close tax loopholes so we can reduce the deficit9, and invest in rebuilding america - our bridges, our ports, our highways, rails, providing good jobs.
with corporate10 profits at near record highs, we should encourage corporations to invest more in research and development and the salaries of their employees. it's time for us to invest in educational opportunity to guarantee that we have the most highly skilledworkforce11 in the world, for 6 out of every 10 jobs in the near term is going to require some education beyond high school. folks, it's long past due to increase the minimum wage that will lift millions of hardworking families out of poverty target poverty and in the process produce a ripple12 effect that boosts wages for the middle class and spurs economic growth for the united states of america. economists13 acknowledge that if we do these and other things, wages will go up and we'll increase the gross domestic product of the united states.
my fellow americans, we know how to do this. we've done it before. it's the way we used to do business and we can do it that way again. all the middle class in this country want is a chance. no guarantee, just a chance.
americans want to work. and when given a fair shot, the american worker has never, ever, ever, let his country down. folks, it's never a good bet to bet against the american people.
thanks for listening.
Never shall i forget the first english lesson given by miss liu. on thatday， when she entered the classroom， we found that she was a young and beautifullady with a big smile on her face. then she introduced herself saying that weshould call her miss liu instead of teacher liu， a moment later， she let all ofus go to the blackboard and say something about ourselves in english in turn.when it was my turn， i felt so shy and fearful that i didn’t dare to say a wordbefore the class. she came up to me and said kindly， “don’t be afraid. i believeyou can do it. come and have a try.” my face turned red when i heard that. atlast， i went to the blackboard and was able to do it quite well. she praised forwhat i had done. up to now， i can still remember her words in the first englishlesson： “practice makes perfect. don’t lose your courage when you meet withdifficulties. try on and on until you succeed.”
In our life,there are many great inventions,such as the light,thepencil,the bag...At the age of 6,my father brought a car,he took me to school onthe first day of school.It was so exciting.I fell in love with this invention onthat day.The car can go anywhere and save time,but it also pullutes ourenvironment.I holp I can invent clean cars.I hope the cars will enter everyfamily,and I love cars best.
在我们的生活中，有许多伟大的发明，如光、铅笔、书包……6岁的时候，我爸爸有一辆车，他在开学的第一天带我去上学。这是如此令人兴奋。那天我爱上了这个发明。汽车可以去任何地方，可以节省时间，但它也会影响我们的环境。我想发明清洁汽车。我希望汽车能进入每个家庭，而且我最喜欢汽车。
Good morning,ladies and gentlemen.
Have you ever heard of Lin Dan or Li Zongwei ?I guess the answer is a big Yes.But do you know a badminton player from Brazil?His name is Yogg.Well,Today,let’s begin with his story.
With smelly streets,spider webs and dreadful security,it is the slum of Rio,a forgotten place.Fortunately,sports lightened it. A noticeable mark of this slum is the court for badminton.About 200 boys and girls come here to practice badminton on every training day.Yogg was just one of them.A couple of years ago,badminton was introduced to Yogg for the first time.Since then,Yogg was obsessed with badminton and he said: "Everytime when I play badminton,I feel like I were a badminton,which could fly out of the slum!" And yes,he did it!The sports carried him far away from guns,drugs and alcohol.He successfully participated in the badminton game of the Olympics this year.Sports saved him.
That’s the sports’ miracle to change an individual. But more than that,sports can change the world as well.
In the year 1971, Beijing received a special group of people.They are the Ping-pong players and journalists from America. Several
days later,Chinese ping-pong team paid a return visit,which created an international sensation .Since then,the ice was broken and this led to the normalization of Sino-US relations.American president Nixon of that time recalled: "Small the ping-pong,strong the power.Just a ball promotes the development between China and America"Not only are we two countries changed by sports,there’s more.British and German troops held a temporary ceasefire on Christmas Day during the World War two; each country on the planet gathers together to enjoy Olympics every four years.;even the two Korean delegations stepped into the stadium simultaneously because of sports.
I know sports can bring us a sight of our potential;I know sports can bring us minds unafraid to fight,even though the trail without victory;I know sports can bring the world the power to celebrate,the reason to unite and the courage to be better.And we know,we know the power of sports.
Ladies and gentlemen,let’s shake the world by the power of sports.

chinese restaurants have played an important role in american history, as a matter of fact. the cuban missile crisis was resolved in a chinese restaurant called yenching palace in washington, d.c., which unfortunately is closed now, and about to be turned into walgreen's. and the house that john wilkes booth planned the assassination of abraham lincoln is actually also now a chinese restaurant called wok 'n roll, on h street in washington.
事实上，中国餐馆在美国历史上发挥了很重要的作用。古巴导弹危机是在华盛顿一家名叫“燕京馆”的中餐馆里解决的。很不幸，这家餐馆现在关门了，即将被改建成沃尔格林连锁药店。而约翰·威尔克斯·布斯刺杀林肯总统的那所房子现在也成了一家中餐馆，就是位于华盛顿的“锅和卷”。
and if you think about it, a lot of the foods that you think of or we think of or americans think of as chinese food are barely recognizable to chinese, for example: beef with broccoli, egg rolls, general tso's chicken, fortune cookies, chop suey, the take-out boxes.
如果你仔细想想，就会发现很多你们所认为或我们所认为，或是美国人所认为的中国食物，中国人并不认识。比如西兰花牛肉、蛋卷、左宗棠鸡、幸运饼干、杂碎、外卖盒子。
so, the interesting question is, how do you go from fortune cookies being something that is japanese to being something that is chinese? well, the short answer is, we locked up all the japanese during world war ii, including those that made fortune cookies, so that's the time when the chinese moved in, kind of saw a market opportunity and took over.
所以有趣的是，幸运饼干是怎么从日本的东西变成中国的东西的呢?简单地说，我们在二战时扣押了所以的日本人，包括那些做幸运饼干的。这时候，中国人来了，看到了商机，自然就据为己有了。
