There is a big tree in the forest. Crows live in the tree.
There is a hole under the tree. There is a fox in the hole.
One day, the crow took a piece of meat and stood on the tree to rest. Thefox saw it.
The fox was greedy for the meat from the crow.
The fox could not get it under the tree because the crow had meat in itsmouth on the branch.
The coveting of meat made the fox unwilling to give up easily.
He turned his eyes and said, "Dear crow, how are you?" the crow did notanswer.
The fox had to smile and say, "Dear crow, how is your child?" the crowlooked at the fox, but did not answer.
The fox wagged his tail and spoke for the third time: "Dear crow, yourfeathers are so beautiful. Sparrow is far from you.
Your voice is very good. Everyone loves to hear you sing. Would you like tosing a few words? "The crow was very proud when he heard this: he said I have agood voice, and the only one who loves to hear me sing is you, the fox, so hesang happily.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the meat fell from his mouth.
The fox took the meat and went into the hole, leaving only the crows to"sing" there.

There are many inventions that have changed the world so much. Here is ashort introduction. For example, a digital camera was invented by Steve J.Sasson. It was invented in 1975. People use it to take photos. The telephone wasinvented in 1876. It was invented by Alexander Bell. It is used forcommunicating with each other. Telephone makes it easier to communicate when youare far away from each other. Radio was invented by Guglielmo Marconi. It wasinvented in 1895. When you are free, you can use it to listen to the news andmusic. It also makes our life more interesting.
There are more inventions that have changed the world. They are veryimportant for us.
Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny,” the maxim goes.
Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.
Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.
Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.
Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.
justice story: "impeachment" is attended -- "is intended for occasional and extraordinary cases where a superior power acting for the whole people is put into operation to protect their rights and rescue their liberties from violations." we know about the huston plan. we know about the break-in of the psychiatrist's office. we know that there was absolute complete direction on september 3rd when the president indicated that a surreptitious entry had been made in dr. fielding's office, after having met with mr. ehrlichman and mr. young. "protect their rights." "rescue their liberties from violation."
the carolina ratification convention impeachment criteria: those are impeachable "who behave amiss or betray their public trust."4 beginning shortly after the watergate break-in and continuing to the present time, the president has engaged in a series of public statements and actions designed to thwart the lawful investigation by government prosecutors. moreover, the president has made public announcements and assertions bearing on the watergate case, which the evidence will show he knew to be false. these assertions, false assertions, impeachable, those who misbehave. those who "behave amiss or betray the public trust."
james madison again at the constitutional convention: "a president is impeachable if he attempts to subvert the constitution." the constitution charges the president with the task of taking care that the laws be faithfully executed, and yet the president has counseled his aides to commit perjury, willfully disregard the secrecy of grand jury proceedings, conceal surreptitious entry, attempt to compromise a federal judge, while publicly displaying his cooperation with the processes of criminal justice. "a president is impeachable if he attempts to subvert the constitution."
if the impeachment provision in the constitution of the united states will not reach the offenses charged here, then perhaps that 18th-century constitution should be abandoned to a 20th-century paper shredder.
has the president committed offenses, and planned, and directed, and acquiesced in a course of conduct which the constitution will not tolerate? that's the question. we know that. we know the question. we should now forthwith proceed to answer the question. it is reason, and not passion, which must guide our deliberations, guide our debate, and guide our decision.
i yield back the balance of my time, mr. Chairman.
One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy withthe
meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so heswallowed
and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the foxsaid to
the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of thecrow’s
beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. Assoon as
the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into hishole.
有一天,一只乌鸦嘴里叼着一片肉，非常高兴的站在树枝上自己的窝旁。这时候，一只狐狸看见了，馋得直流口水，非常想得到那片肉。但是，无论狐狸说什么，乌鸦就是不理睬狐狸。最后，狐狸便赞美乌鸦的嗓音美，并请求乌鸦唱几句让他欣赏。乌鸦听了狐狸的奉承话得意极了，就真的唱起歌来。没想到，它一开口肉就掉了下来，狐狸叼起肉钻回了自己的洞。
Everyone has a mother. Mother brings us to the world. They give us life and love. When we are little, they take good care of us. They give much but give themselves little. They prefer to give us the best rather than let us feel hungry.
When we are ill, they take us to the hospital and look after us day and night. When we smile, they smile. When we cry, they cry. Once I hear a story about mother.
The story happened at the earthquake in 20xx. When people found a mother, they were surprised to find that there was a baby in her arms and there was a mobile phone near the baby. In the mobile phone there was a text message, saying" My lovely baby, I love you forever." The mother used her body to save her child. How great the mother is! Mothers will do everything for their children.
So we should love our mothers and take good care of them when they need us. We shouldn't be angry with our mothers when they punish us, because what they do is for our good.
My last holidays were my longest holidays, and i think that i learnt how to spend the time. I enjoyed a lot with my friends, and my family, and i met new people too, because i was in different places during the summer, and i wanted to meet people everywhere. The first place i visited was calpe, a town in alicante, because i was invited for some days by a friend who has a house there. I went with some friends, and we spent there just five days, but it was enough time to want to come back next summer! We stayed on the beach for hours, in the mornings, just lying and asleep, taking enough energy for the rest of the day and for the night! At night, we went out until next morning. We danced, met people, walked near the beach... while we watched the moon in silence. Next, i went to paris with my parents and my sister. Actually, i did not go to paris, i went to disneyland. We stayed there for four days, and it was really unforgettable. When i saw the park, i opened my eyes the most i could and i did not close them until the night at the hotel. I felt like a little girl again. Finally, i was in salou. My parents looked for a really relaxing time, and we were on the beach for some days. There, we did not visit anything, we were there just to rest. After those days, we came , and, unfortunately, we had to start our routines again.
i will invent a time machine in the as it 's been my dream in my life. timemachine allows people to travel back in time to prevent disaster to happen.
it also allows people to tavel into dinstant future to find out solutionfor incurable illness including cancer and aids. however, this machine may beabused by people to create chaos in our world or even completely change ourhistory. therfore, security features are essential for my invention.
the future invention of time machine will definately bring more advantagesfor human being.

Alright, well I've been asked to talk about something beautiful and I'd like to choose the White Cloud Temple. It is located in Beijing and it's on the west side of town. It's not that far away from a subway station, but you would need to take a bus, because it's a bit far to walk. I go there probably two or more times a year. It's a Taoist temple, probably the most active Taoist temple in Beijing. I'm a Taoist. But I go there more than just to pray. I really try to take a trip to find some time to rediscover myself. During the Spring Festival people jam into it because they hold what I think is the best carnival during Spring Festival. We call them Miao Huis. At that time the temple is very crowded, but most other times it's quite peaceful, and it's a good place to get away from all the people.
I think the reason it's so beautiful is because it is simple and it seems to blend in well with its environment. The small praying hall is very serene. It has a nice pool and a bridge. The Taoist motifs are quite simple but I think they are very charming. I love to go there during the winter after a big snowfall because it's at this time that it seems to be most mysterious. I choose this as the most beautiful because, to me, beauty is simplicity and natural design, and it also means it fits the environment it is in. I don't really like grand, elaborate temples. I prefer temples that seem powerful not because of their structures but because they are perfect for their simple beauty.

Dear teachers and students:
good morning!
I'm from class . The earth is not only the home where human beings live together, but also the environment on which we live. The reduction of the earth's ozone layer and global warming; Forest and other vegetation are cut down indiscriminately, the forest coverage is reduced, and the land is becoming more and more desertification; The continuous extinction of species on the earth causes ecological imbalance; The massive discharge of industrial waste gas and sewage, the flood of domestic garbage, the pollution of air and water sources, and the continuous destruction of our living environment by ourselves - mankind. Environmental pollution poses a great threat to our human survival.
If we do not attach great importance to environmental protection, our earth will be destroyed and mankind will perish. This is by no means alarmist. Therefore, we must take protecting the environment as our own responsibility, start from me, from around us, and from now on, and consciously protect the environment.
As a student, we should first learn to consciously protect the campus environment. Therefore, our university has formulated many regulations on beautifying and protecting the environment, and also adopted a series of measures. However, acts of destroying the environment on campus occur from time to time, such as not paying attention to public health, littering paper scraps and mineral water bottles, spitting everywhere, not caring for flowers and trees, trampling on the lawn, etc. Campus is a place where everyone lives and studies together every day. We should love our campus as much as we love our home.
Protect the environment, start with me!
I firmly believe that as long as everyone contributes to protecting the campus environment and environmental protection, our campus will become more and more beautiful! The earth and environment we depend on will be better and better!
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 ".

Dear teachers and students：
hello everyone!
Today, I am very honored to stand under the solemn national flag and speak for you. As the young generation in the new century, we are the hope of our motherland.
The future of our motherland will surely belong to us. As students, the first thing we should do is to love our school. How can a student who doesn't even love his own school love his own country? Loving school is a very specific and close action. The school provides us with a good learning environment. Teachers work hard to cultivate us. This is the cradle of our growth. As students, we have no reason not to love our school.
Every student should protect the image and honor of the school like loving his own eyes; We should sincerely respect our teachers. We should consciously protect every plant of the school, beautify the natural environment, create an elegant cultural environment, and make the school a real garden and paradise; We should also love each other like our brothers and sisters. Let's love and learn from each other and grow up happily together!
We should cherish our time, study hard, work hard, win the excellent results of each school section, and contribute our part to the motherland in the future, so as to repay the school that raised us and our beloved teachers!
Thank you!
Money is very important for us but is not the most important things in ourlife.Many things are more important than money ,such as friendship ,love ,andfamily ,and so on .We can use money to buy many things but for people's hearts.Apeople only care the money ,which is very sorrowful.Gradually,he will lose manythings that is more important than money.And last,he will become lonely.
Sometimes money can let many people gather and make friends with you.However,you have to know they may be not your true friends and they just wantyou money.A true friend never care whether his friend is poor or rich.A firendin need is a friend indeed.Having some sincere friends is the truehappiness.
Anyway,money can solve lots of problems but it can't bring you happinessbecause it can't buy a true heart.Please remember that some things in the worldis invaluable.So don't live only for money.
One day, a crow finds a piece of meat ,She picks it up in her mouth andflies to a big tree.When she is just going to eat the meat,a fox sees her. Thefox comes to the tree and stands under the tree. He looks at the meat and wantsto eat it very much.
He says to the crow," how pretty you are! You are the prettytiest bird intheworld. all the animals like you." The crow is very pleased by this words,then the fox speaks again,"I can see your beautiful face, but I can't hear yourbeautiful voice. Can you sing a song for me?"
This makes the crow very happy. She opens her mouth and sings a song. whenshe opens her mouth, she drops the meat the fox picks up the meat and goesaway.
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。
A good teacher-student relationship will make learning enjoyable and interesting for the students and teaching worthwhile for a set up a good teacher-student relationship , a teccher’s behaviour is especially important teacher should motivate the students so that they would like to learn . a good teacher should be patient , frily and strict. remember not to encourage students by pushing or punishing them g too frily may cause students to become lazy and stop working hard. on the other hand , being too strict may frighten students. so a teacher should aviod going to extremes in treating his or her students the demand for the teachers who should take resposibilities for his or her job should encourage students to think indepently and learn to study by themselves and also make his lessons lively and interesting. however, as for the students , they should always show respect for their teachers and their work ents should be eager to learn and willing to put their heart into their study. it’s significant for students to listen to their teccher attentively in class and it’s more important to learn to come up to questions and work out problems in new ways.
in conclusion , a good teacher-student relationship can be mutually beneficial students gain knowledge eagerly and enjoyably and the teacher gains satisfaction his or her job.
thank you .
Dear classmates:
High three students, our footprint is binding on the cover of the season, the cover page of life, we will go to journey in June next year, run towards the dreams of June.
Many people say that the high three students like jingwei filling the stream, his mouth as if never plays with ABC and XYZ, thick lens grew up, grew thin hair down... Three means that enrich the sunrise, sunset.
So, three high school year is doomed to be heavy, heavy learning, heavy, heavy expectations, with lots of attention... Everything is in order to heavy harvest. Harvest, insist on, in the struggle! Nietzsche said: "a tree should grow taller, accept more light, then its root must be deeper into the darkness." And the third year is tough and lonely to grow like a tree.
We all know that: "the youth is beautiful". It not only beautiful in the beautiful appearance, even more beautiful in uplifting the spirit of the beauty in involve forward determination. We are ordinary, because we and other cold window study hard scholar as well as in the dream; We are special, because we need to do is a life the most critical.
Content is always happy, not happy people regularly, few people can know need how much effort to realize the dream of heart, we can only move forward, forward, forward again. So we're going to have such a determination and drive: "stick to it, never give up!" Don't pick the fruit of autumn in the summer. Pick, food is not sweet, abandon a pity, or wait until the harvest season to taste the joy of harvest!
Dear teachers and students,
hello everyone! Today, the topic of my speech is "cherish life, safe life".
I know that most of the students will sing songs such as "peace to you" and "peace to a good man's life" to pray for success and peace; I believe that students understand the thinking of life contained in the words of "peace is blessing", "peace is gold"; I am sure that all the students have expressed good wishes to their parents, relatives, classmates and friends with auspicious words such as "peace, health, happiness and smooth". Yes, safety is more important than Mount Tai. It has always been the most basic lifeline for individuals, families, collectives and society. It is also the most important guarantee line for individuals to enjoy life and collectives to maintain stability.
At present, there are many casualties caused by ideological, psychological and behavioral deviations among primary and secondary school students, which expose the common safety risks of current students in ideology, psychology and behavior. One by one shocking, blood and tears intertwined tragedy can not help but make people sigh, fear, but also sounded the alarm for our safety.
"Life", what a vivid word“ "Safety" is such an old topic“ Happiness is such a wonderful state. Students: one person is safe, the whole family is happy; Life is supreme and safety is the key; Safety first, prevention first. Only in safety can life keep its vitality forever, and only in safety can happiness have its charm forever. Safety has built our beautiful home and become a link between relatives and friends. On the issue of safety, we must not be paralyzed or lucky. On the issue of safety, we must guard against and be alert. We must be alert to thinking, comply with the rules and be cautious in action; It is necessary to establish a high sense of safety. Everyone stresses safety, always and everything; It is necessary to build a great wall of safety for thought, behavior and life.
Perhaps many students will think that safety only refers to the safety of the body, even the physical health and not hurt; I think as long as my body is healthy and can move freely, it is called safety. I don't think that's all about security. Even a man with a sound physique, if his moral level is low, his ability to distinguish right from wrong is not strong, and if he is confused, he has the suspicion of forming a clique and drinking; If he shows his loyalty and causes trouble, he not only likes to go with the flow, but also wants to make trouble; What this shows is the problem of ideological security. Just as in the previous week, there were several fights between classmates, as well as events on the court. Basketball game should be a game of friendship and style, but there are so many students fighting for the win and lose, which makes the relationship between students tense. It's not hard to imagine that it's very difficult to be a good person all one's life with such unsafe thoughts. In addition, if a person with a sound physique indulges in the spiritual opium of bad books and online games, and sucks every day and everywhere, he can't help but wander and think about it in class; Late at night can not help but to cross the wall bubble Internet cafes stay up all night; If he is infatuated with the sentimental feelings of young boys and girls prematurely, he will search for sorrow and hatred without any reason, be crazy and stupid, be crazy and crazy, and even be jealous and resentful, and become a beauty. This shows the safety problem of behavior. With such unsafe behavior, it is also very difficult to read a good book steadily and smoothly.
Whether it is personal safety, ideological safety or behavioral safety, they all have one common characteristic, that is, the cruelty of the result. Traffic accidents, swimming and drowning accidents, sports accidents, and occasional accidents of chasing and fighting during recess. The light ones can hurt the physique, and the heavy ones can endanger the life. Their consequences are cruel. However, the deformity of ideology and morality and the deviance of behavior are more terrible than the unsound physique.
Zang Kejia wrote in the poem some people: "some people live, but they have died." I think that those who lose their healthy spiritual pursuit, lose their right direction of life, and have a living body are the products of incomplete thinking? At best, this "product" can only be a machine that endlessly absorbs and digests the blood and sweat of parents. It can only become a waste in the long river of social development, and even a dangerous substance endangering social development.
Dear teachers and students, we all live in a close relationship interwoven by family affection, morality, responsibility, obligation and so on. So the individual is not just the individual. Everyone's present is connected with the future, everyone's own is connected with the family, and everyone's honor and disgrace are connected with the whole. For the growth of individuals, for the happiness of families, for the whole of honor and disgrace, let's build a great wall of safety for our thoughts, behaviors and lives, and be good people. Only good people can live a safe life; I wish a good man a safe life.
In winter, not spring flowers, the scenery pleasant, is not so scorchingsummer, thunder and lightning; Not so fruitful, autumn leaves fly: but it bringsus a flying snowflakes.
In the morning, I opened the Windows look: snowflakes slowly float, likephoto, such as catkin, like QingYouYou goose feather, like dandelion seeds,there are endless leisure, and just like the beautiful YinDie dance in thecourtyard, also seems to be a group of white elf, floating in the air, spinning,finally slowly fell on the ground, into numerous small water droplets ofdiamond.
Under the deck of snow, the earth became a snow-white, vanity jade build bylaying bricks or stones in the world. Nearby, some dead branches of the treescovered with a layer of fluffy, soft snow at the end of the son. While thesummer and winter evergreen trees, covered with a bead pearly snow to seed. Hitsthe trees under the white foil as one by one, beautiful girl. The wind blows,the branches gently shaking, the silver light flashing to seed, snowsnow son, at the end of the float down from the trees and leaves. Looked at thebeautiful snow, I can't help but sigh: "like night of spring breeze comessuddenly, thousands of critics, pear tree to open!"
Looked at the snow outside the window, I involuntarily stretch out hisarms, outside the window a little a few times, laid the palm of your hand, onlylight water lines. I stretched out a helping hand to the sky, and to god for afew snow flower, god seems to heart, after a while, a few naughty snow girl isslipped from my hand up into my mouth. The snow that I closed my eyes thenexperience the taste of cool and refreshing slowly into my heart.
Winter comes quietly.
Winter is pure. Winter comes, the world becomes white, white flawless,white cedar serene shakedown is on the earth, as if for the carpet of the earthcovered with a layer of silver. Embossed on the pine covered with white snow,just like loving mother gently holding the children of their own. Under the snowthere were a little green pine needles, to the white world added a little notthe same color.
Winter is quiet. White world in addition to white or white, as if a painterof a picture, a picture of white. In this white world, cute little animals arehiding at home sleeping; Lively children are hiding at home and it's warm woli,.Except for the howl of the north between white singing, traveling, almost no onein the white world.
Although winter tranquility, but sometimes I still full of laughter. Travelbetween the children in the snow. They work together to make a snowman together,they help each other figure moved north wind; Together they skipping a snowballfight, they smile melting snow; Together they sing happily, they the cheerfulsinging spread to every corner...
A unique in winter season, although it did not the vitality of spring, butmore than a pure spring; Although it does not have summer bustling, but morethan a quiet summer; Although it has no charming autumn, but a special joy morethan autumn.
In winter, is a unique season; Is a charming season!

冬天静悄悄地来了。
冬天是纯洁的。冬天一来，世界变得雪白一片，白得毫无瑕疵，白雪松软软地铺在大地上，好似为大地铺上了一层银色的地毯。松树上压着厚厚的白雪，宛如慈爱的妈妈温柔地抱着自己的孩子。白雪下的松枝还露出一点绿色，为这白茫茫的世界增添了一点不一样的色彩。
冬天是宁静的。雪白的世界除了白还是白，好像是画家的一幅画，一幅白色的画。在这雪白的世界中，可爱的小动物都躲在家里呼呼大睡;活泼的孩子们都躲在家里暖呼呼的被窝里，除了呼呼的北风在雪白之间歌唱、穿行外，几乎没有人出现在这雪白的世界里。
冬天虽然宁静，但有时还是充满欢声笑语的。孩子们在雪地之间穿行。他们一起齐心协力堆雪人，他们互助的身影感动了北风;他们一起蹦蹦跳跳地打雪仗，他们的笑容融化白雪;他们一起兴高采烈地唱歌，他们欢快的歌声传到每个角落……
冬天时一个独一无二的季节，它虽然没有春天的生机勃勃，但是却比春天多了一份纯洁;它虽然没有夏天的热闹繁华，但是却比夏天多了一份宁静;虽然它没有秋天美丽迷人，但是却比秋天多了一份与众不同的欢乐。
冬天，是一个独特的季节;是一个充满魅力的季节!
Good morning/afternoon/evening,my name is . It is really a great honor to have this opportunity/chance to introduce myself. I would like to answer whatever you may raise,and I hope I can make a good performance today. I am a third year master major in automation at Shanghai Jiao Tong University,P. R. China. Withtremendous interest in Industrial Engineering,I am writing to apply for acceptance into your Ph.D. graduate program. In 1995,I entered the Nanjing University of Science it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshne; it is the freshneof the deep springs of life . Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust . Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being 's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there's a wirelestation : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young . When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80. Thank you!
Good morning , everyone .When it comes to the teachers’ essential qualities ,I believe that most of answers will appear the word “patience”. Now, let me begin to give you my speech “patience”.
To begin with , “what is the patience ?” The definition of the word “patience” is to tolerate delay , which implies self control and forbearance as opposed to wanting what we want when we want it. How many times have we jumped the gun and found out it would have been better to tolerate delay or had self control? What did we miss out on? Did we hurt someone we love because of lack of patience? Having patience will heal the wounds and it will work itself out fine. Patience is not only a virtue but a necessy for a happy existence that we must be more patience in our daily lives. Secondly , there are so many benefits of developing patience .It not only helps us reduces stress levels ,but also helps develop understanding, empathy and compassion .Furthermore ,with enough patience ,we may take enough time to assess the situation, see the big picture, and weigh any pros and cons ,which contributes to our better decisions.
Someone may ask but how to become more patient .In my opinion ,many steps can we take .One way ,we may practice thinking before you speak ,if we’re patient, pause and go over what we want to say, we can avoid hurting or offending others .On the other way ,sometimes we may make a plan ahead and someway slow down our steps .Anyway ,what is the most important thing is that in anytime we must believe that there is an advantage behind every misfortune, that there is a silver lining.
As it for me ,a teacher in the nearly future ,I think I should be have faith that I can make all of them understand what I taught .If some of them wouldn't follow me ,I will be also patient to analyse knowledge to them in details.
One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy withthe
meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so heswallowed
and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the foxsaid to
the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of thecrow’s
beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. Assoon as
the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into hishole.
After being cheated of the meat by the fox, the crow stood on the branchand scolded for three days and three nights.
Since then, crows are very wary of foxes, afraid of being cheatedagain.
One day, the crow found a piece of meat. It took the meat in its mouth andstopped on the branch to rest.
He was very alert. He looked left and right for fear that the meat would becheated by the sly fox again.
At this time, the fox is humming a little song in the walk, smelling thesmell of meat, followed the fragrance.
After a while, he came to the tree where the crow stopped.
When the fox saw that it was a crow, he was very happy. He thought tohimself: This crow is very stupid. Last time he said that his singing was good,he cheated the meat away.
It looks like another piece of meat is coming this time.
Seeing that it was a fox, the crow immediately hung the meat on the branchand asked warily, "brother fox, I havent seen you for a long time. What are youdoing this time?"
The fox said calmly, "its nothing more than to admit the mistake with thebrother crow."
The crow said angrily, "brother fox, dont be hurt!"
The fox pretended to be a little sad and said, "brother crow, last time Imsorry for you. I lied to you because I was wrong. I deserve to die! This time,you can do whatever you want to do to me!"
The crow said, "then you will return the meat you cheated me lasttime."
When the fox heard this, he was very angry and forced to bear the anger inhis heart and said: "brother crow, I have eaten the meat last time.
I know a place where there is a lot of meat. Its not a long way. I have nostrength. You give me your piece of meat to eat. When I have strength, I willtake two back to you. "
The crow listened happily and said, "well, Ill give you the meat." Then hetook the meat off the branch and gave it to the fox.
The fox ate the meat and said to the crow, "wait, Ill get the meat foryou." With that, the fox left in a hurry.
After a long time, the crow didnt see the fox come back, just suddenlyrealized that he had been cheated again.
I have a wonderful dream in my heart。 It's to speak English very well。Since English is everything for me。 English is my best friend。 English is mysoul。 English is my power。 Without English， I'm nothing at all。 Nothing。 Now， Ican think in English， speak in English， and write in English。 Some people thinkI'm an Indian。 Some people regard I'm a Pakistan。 And some people even considerthat I'm an Egyptian。 But if I could speak English as good as an American， myfuture would be brilliant。 So I work very hard。
Busy is busy with the world. Family name Lilu, when you are tired, you may wish to stop, close your eyes and feel the natural breath, listen to the wonderful sounds of nature. If it is spring, the peach blossoms are shameful, and the pear is still maintaining its ice and jade.
Farmers like to put peach trees. Pear tree mix. So a red, garden, is like a snow. Red and white, you are so beautiful that you are not willing to lick. But you still need to close your eyes, because only your eyes are closed, peoples hearing will become extremely keen.

However, this is a season of harvest. You can temporarily let the hand of the hand, stand in the cornfield, look at the golden corn rod, listen to the peasants loudly. Listen carefully, you will hear the corn rods to be "click ", and the peasants sweat fell on fertile land. This is also the season you have harvested. You should think about it. Im not coming out, I repeatedly chews the lessons learned from it. If it is winter, the north wind roars, all things are covered by ice. If you dont want to listen to the whisper of snow, you can also hide in the fire stove.
The fire has expressed his feelings of life. At this time, you should be close to let the fire on your face. The fire like a grandfather, but you cant get rid of it. The grandfather is all the philosophy of life, you should tell him your experience, let him analyze you. Winter can be a good season, it has been prepared for the future everything in the future. Give yourself a leisure day, listen to the sound of the four seasons, feel a big natural, life will not be gloomy.
20年来，魏国强(音译)的目光一直没有离开过中国足球，但值得庆祝的理由却是少之又少。
"Its like the Chinese saying; you always think your children are the most beautiful no matter how ugly they are," the 30-year-old education specialist told CNN in Beijing.
“中国有句俗话：‘母不嫌子丑，狗不嫌家贫，’ 我对中国足球也是这样的心情。” 这位30岁的教育专家在北京接受CNN采访时说。
Dogged by poor performances on the pitch and corruption scandals off it, the Chinese game has been far from beautiful.
绿茵场上球员的欠佳表现和一些贪腐丑闻，中国足球一直不被看好。
But die-hard soccer fans like Wei finally have something to cheer about.
但是像魏先生这样的死忠球迷终于等到了这样一个欢呼雀跃的时刻。
Guangzhou Evergrande, a soccer team based in the southern city of Guangzhou, became Asian champions on Saturday, beating South Koreas FC Seoul to claim Chinas first continental title in 23 years in a stadium packed to capacity with fans wearing the teams blood-red colors.
11月9日星期六，来自南方城市广州的俱乐部球队广州恒大，在坐无虚席、尽是恒大鲜红球迷的主场击败韩国首尔FC，荣获亚冠联赛冠军，这也是中国足球在23年以来夺得第一个亚洲冠军。
"They are persistent and never surrender," said Wei, who watched the match on television at home.
“他们坚持不懈，从不言弃，” 魏先生说，他在家中的电视机前观看了比赛直播。
Evergrande will now play in the FIFA Club World Cup in December, pitting the team against the likes of German giants and reigning European champions Bayern Munich. Previous winners of the tournament include Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona.
今年12月恒大还将出征国际足联世界俱乐部杯，有机会与欧冠强队、德国劲旅拜仁慕尼黑场上较量。世俱杯之前的冠军得主有切尔西、曼联和巴塞罗那等。
China last tasted international success at club level in 1990 when Liaoning lifted the trophy of the now expired Asian Club Championship. Its national team has also punched below the countrys weight.
中国最近一次品尝国际俱乐部级的成功是在1990年，辽宁队举起了亚洲足球俱乐部冠军联赛(现已停办)的奖杯。国家队一直没有令人瞩目的表现。
Despite being one of the countrys most popular sports -- President Xi Jinping is said to be a big fan -- China failed to qualify for the 20__ World Cup and did not enter the running for the 20__ tournament.
尽管足球是中国最受欢迎的体育项目之一——据说国家主席 也是足球迷——但中国没有打入20__世界杯，也没有入围20__年世界杯承办权的角逐。
Evergrandes rise to the top of Asian football has been fast and furious and some say it could be Asias first "superclub."
恒大以迅雷不及掩耳之势跃居亚洲足球之冠，有人说，它可能成为亚洲第一家“超级俱乐部”。
In early 20__, the team was bought by Xu Jiayin, the boss of property developer Evergrande Real Estate Group and Chinas 13th richest man, according to Forbes.
20__年初，福布斯中国富人榜名列13的恒大地产集团老板许家印出手买下这支球队。
He paid 100 million yuan ($16.4 million) for the club, shocking many as the team had recently been relegated to the second division of Chinas league. In 20__, they won the Chinese Super League and claimed the league title for the third time this year.
他为俱乐部投入1亿人民币(合1千4百万美元)，这样的大手笔让许多人吃惊不小，因为这支球队当时刚被降级中甲。20__年，他们重返中超夺冠，并在今年第三次蝉联冠军。
Dong Jianzheng, an editor at the Chinese-language World Soccer Magazine, credits Xus deep pockets as the main reason for the teams success.
《足球世界》杂志中文版编辑董建峥将该球队的成功归功于许家印的经济实力。
The club has spent at least 1.5 billion yuan ($250 million) in the past three years, according to The China Daily, recruiting domestic stars and foreign players like Brazilian striker Muriqui. The team is led by Marcello Lippi, who coached the Italian team that won the 20__ World Cup.
根据《中国日报》的报道，恒大在过去的3年里至少花掉15亿元人民币(合2亿5千万美元)，招募国内球星和巴西中锋穆里奇等外援。该队的主教练马尔切洛·里皮曾率意大利队问鼎20__年世界杯。
"The Evergrande model is similar to Chelsea and Manchester, where they win simply because they invest," Dong told CNN.
“恒大模式类似于切尔西和曼联，他们赢，只因为舍得下本钱投资，” 董先生接受CNN采访时说。
"They have a strong team and a large number of foreign players. They are good because they dare to throw in their money." But he said Evergrandes success doesnt represent the big picture.
“他们有实力强大的球队，有很多外援加盟。他们之所以出色，因为敢于砸钱投资。但是，他说恒大的成功并不代表大环境。
A bribery investigation that led to several players, referees and managers serving jail terms has left many fans disillusioned with the Chinese game.
中国足球贪污受贿案将一些球员、裁判和经理人送进监狱，导致许多粉丝不再对中国足球抱有幻想。
Rowan Simons, the author of "Bamboo Goalposts: One mans quest to teach the Peoples Republic of China to love football", says corruption reaches down to the sports grassroots, which suffer from a lack of investment.
《足球无疆》的作者罗文·西蒙斯说，足球投资匮乏，腐败侵蚀到了足球运动的根基。
"Parents will bribe the coach to get (their child) into the team, teams will bribe the referee to win the game," said Simons, who has lived and played football in China for more than 20 years.
“父母向教练行贿，这样他们的孩子才能进球队，球队行贿裁判赢球，” 住在中国与中国足球打了20多年交道的西蒙斯说。
Hopes are high that Evergrandes arrival on the international soccer stage will give a much-needed boost to the countrys football system.
恒大登上国际足球舞台将给予中国足球体制亟待的推动，人们对此寄予厚望。
The president of the Asian Football Confederation, which runs the regions premier tournament, said that Evergrandes win would infuse new life into Chinese football and spread the game to a wider audience.
亚洲足联主席表示，恒大的成功将为中国足球注入新活力，吸引更多的观众。亚足联主要负责举办地区性的重要足球赛事。
"I am confident that this will benefit not only the Chinese Super League but also the national team in a big way," said Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim.
“我相信，这一成功不仅对中超而且对国家队都极为有利，” 亚足联主席谢赫萨尔曼·本·易卜拉欣说。
But they will have a hard time convincing fans like Cui, an engineer, who spends his spare time glued to the English Premier League, Europes UEFA Champions League and Spains La Liga.
但是他们想拥有像崔工程师一样的球迷还有很长一段路要走，崔先生把业余时间都花在看英超联赛、欧冠比赛和西甲联赛上。
He says he wont make the effort to watch Evergrandes FIFA Club World Cup match against Egyptian side Al Ahly in December. "The time difference is a challenge, but I still choose foreign matches because they are much more professional," he told CNN.
他说，他对12月的俱乐部世界杯恒大对埃及阿赫利的比赛兴趣不大，。“尽管时差是一大挑战，但是我仍然选择外国的球赛，因为他们专业得多，”他告诉CNN。
一只狐狸曾经看到过乌鸦飞着一片奶酪用嘴叼着和解决靠在树枝上。“那是我的,因为我是一只狐狸说:“Reynard大师,他走到山脚下的那棵树。“你好,我的主人乌鸦,”他大声地说。“你正在今天怎么光滑;你的羽毛,照亮您的眼睛。我确信你的声音必须超越其他的禽类,就像你的图所做的事物,让我听听但一首歌从您让我问你Birds.女王的乌鸦举起她的头,开始人才学她的努力,但是这一刻她张开嘴一块乳酪倒在地上,却被抢购一空所掌握的狐狸。”所做的,”他说。”那个我所想要的东西。换你的奶酪,我要给你一个忠告的未来。”“不要相信献媚者
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settleon a branch of a tree. ‘That’s for me, as I am a Fox,’ said Master Reynard, andhe walked up to the foot of the tree. ‘Good-day, Mistress Crow,’ he cried. ‘Howwell you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. Ifeel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does;let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.’The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she openedher mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up byMaster Fox. ‘That will do,’ said he. ‘That was all I wanted. In exchange foryour cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future .’Do not trustflatterers.
With the development of society, the tourism has already become one style of daily life. More and more people spend their holiday on traveling.
However, the uncivilized behavior in tourism was often exposed by the media. For example, leaving some notes on the sites to express he has been here, but it can damage cultural relic which is always priceless. I remember several months ago, a Chinese tourist left some notes on a relic in Egypt and the relic has a history of more than one thousand years. What a pity! When I heard this thing, I feel very ashamed. Because it will not only tarnish our country’s image but also damage the priceless relic.
Other uncivilized behavior like smoking in public place, throwing garbage anywhere, speaking loudly in public place and jumping a queue will also make a bad impression in the public. But I think these bad habit can be reformed easily if people can realize them.
Yesterday I got a piece of information about uncivilized tourism. The news said that four people have been punished by our country because of their uncivilized behavior in tourism. Their name have been in the blacklist which will keep for five to ten years. So how the blacklist works? Let me tell you. If someone’s name is in the blacklist, it will be forbidden travelling for a period, maybe five years or ten years. I think the blacklist will works well.
Travelling can relax us. But I think civilized tourism can enjoy our life better.
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settleon a branch of a tree. ‘That’s for me, as I am a Fox,’ said Master Reynard, andhe walked up to the foot of the tree. ‘Good-day, Mistress Crow,’ he cried. ‘Howwell you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye.

President pitzer Mr. Vice President, Governor, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley, and Congressman Miller, Mr. Webb, Mr. Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen:
I appreciate your president having made me an honorary visiting professor, and I will assure you that my first lecture will be very brief.
I am delighted to be here and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion.
We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a state noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation's own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension.
No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man's recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals to cover them. Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power. Newton explored the meaning of gravity. Last month electric lights and telephones and automobiles and airplanes became available. Only last week did we develop penicillin and television and nuclear power, and now if America's new spacecraft succeeds in reaching Venus, we will have literally reached the stars before midnight tonight.
This is a breathtaking pace, and such a pace cannot help but create new ills as it dispels old, new ignorance, new problems, new dangers. Surely the opening vistas of space promise high costs and hardships, as well as high reward.
So it is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer to rest, to wait. But this city of Houston, this state of Texas, this country of the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them. This country was conquered by those who moved forward--and so will space.
William Bradford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the Plymouth Bay Colony, said that all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.
If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space.
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.
Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the world's leading space-faring nation.
We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.
There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.
In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in man's history. We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas which launched John Glenn, generating power equivalent to 10,000 automobiles with their accelerators on the floor. We have seen the site where five F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this field.
Within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth. Some 40 of them were made in the United States of America and they were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than those of the Soviet Union.
The Mariner spacecraft now on its way to Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science. The accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the 40-yard lines.
Transit satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course. Tiros satellites have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs.
We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them. And they may be less public.
To be sure, we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned flight. But we do not intend to stay behind, and in this decade, we shall make up and move ahead.
The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school. Technical institutions, such as Rice, will reap the harvest of these gains.
And finally, the space effort itself, while still in its infancy, has already created a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs. Space and related industries are generating new demands in investment and skilled personnel, and this city and this state, and this region, will share greatly in this growth. What was once the furthest outpost on the old frontier of the West will be the furthest outpost on the new frontier of science and space. Houston, your city of Houston, with its Manned Spacecraft Center, will become the heart of a large scientific and engineering community. During the next 5 years the National Aeronautics and Space Administration expects to double the number of scientists and engineers in this area, to increase its outlays for salaries and expenses to $60 million a year; to invest some $200 million in plant and laboratory facilities; and to direct or contract for new space efforts over $1 billion from this center in this city.
To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money. This year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined. That budget now stands at $5,400 million a year--a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year. Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United States, for we have given this program a high national priority--even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us. But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun--almost as hot as it is here today--and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold.
I'm the one who is doing all the work, so we just want you to stay cool for a minute.
However, I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job. And this will be done in the decade of the Sixties. It may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university. It will be done during the terms of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform. But it will be done. And it will be done before the end of this decade.
And I am delighted that this university is playing a part in putting a man on the moon as part of a great national effort of the United States of America.
Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there."
Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.
Thank you.
