In the picture we can see that a man is fishing attentively by the lake.Behind him there is a scholar who is stealing the fish in the man’s bucket.It is obvious that the drawer of the picture tries to reveal a serious problemin the academic circle of our country — plagiarism. In recent years academiccheats have become rampant. Quite a lot of graduate students and scholars“use” others’ ideas, articles and papers without acknowledging the sourceof information. They copy them without the fear that they might be caught.For a long time we paid less attention to the problem of plagiarism, butnow we are increasingly aware of its negative effects. Plagiarists’misconduct simply mean “stealing” others’ intellectual and academicaccomplishments, which not only depreciates their own humanity but contaminatesthe climate of the academic circle. Academic falsification is like an epidemicdisease that spreads fast and will destroy the healthy development of academicstudies. What’s worse, these plagiarists have set a very disreputable exampleto the younger generation.
So what attitude should we hold towards it? From my point of view, weshould resolutely battle against this ill phenomenon. Education of moralityshould be strengthened among the scholars and students. Those who steal others’academic achievements should be given severe punishment whenever they arespotted. If necessary, we can resort to the law to protect the interest of theoriginal writer and inventor. We must recognize that fighting againstplagiarism requires our persistent efforts.
The failure is the mother of success.But how many people are actually ableto grasp the mystery?
General speaking, people are afraid of failure.What should we fail toface?The key issues were to fail.We understand and transform the world, thedefeat was inevitable.Brave in face of failure is the only correct way tosuccess of our guide.We can sum up the lesson from failure.After many mistakes,we should be close to success and believe that failure is only temporary.Thefailure of the people tend to be alone, around on his support, even a comfortingword, can add to his great power.
In a word,failure are not terrible. Horrible is you don't have the courageto face defeat feeling!
With the development of our society， energy in the world bees more and morelimited， so it is quite important for us to save energy and to protect ourenvironment。 As a student， there are a lot of methods we can do to save energyat home。 For example， first， we can turn off the light as well as otherappliances when we are not using them。 Second， recycle the waste water， paperand other waste so that we can reuse them。 What's more， it is suggested to usepublic transportation more instead of private cars。
Above all， everyone can make a great contribution to our environment。 Ihope I can learn more to develop new and clear energy， like energy from the windand solar。
Everyone knows that diligence is the key to success. As a proverb goes: “Diligence is the mother of success.” Diligence means working hard andpersistently.
All famous people of great achievements are examples of diligence. They allowe their success to hard work. Without constant efforts, no one can expect tosucceed in doing anything great. Thomas Edison kept on working hard for a longtime before he was able to invent he electric light. Madame Curie worked hard inthe poor conditions for many years before she finally discovered radium. Somepeople may attribute success to good luck. But good luck favors those who arewell prepared and diligent people who can make use of it. So idleness can onlylead to poverty. If you do not devote yourself to your study and work, you canhardly make a living, let alone make some accomplishments.
As high school students, we must be aware that the only way to success ishard work. We must concentrate our attention on our studies, and make full useof our precious time, in order to meet the fierce challenges in the futurecompetitions. It is certain that our future success will only rest on ourconstant efforts. As a proverb goes: “Only by working hard can we reap a bumperharvest.”
thanksgiving day is the most truly american of the national holidays in the united states and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
in 1620, the settlers, or pilgrims, they sailed to america on the may flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. after a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy november, what is now plymouth, massachusetts.
during their first winter, over half of the settlers died of[1] starvation or epidemics. those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
all summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. and therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the lord be fixed[2]. years later, president of the united states proclaimed the fourth thursday of november as thanksgiving day every year. the celebration of thanksgiving day has been observed on that date until today.
the pattern of the thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. the big family dinner is planned months ahead. on the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. there will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. the best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. they have been the most traditional and favorite food on thanksgiving day throughout the years.
everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing[3] to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. but as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on[4] the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued[5] blessings.
Dear students, dear teachers:
Hello, the topic of my speech today is: grateful mother.
Who is give our life; Who, when you grievance sad touching your broken ? And who, let's see the colorful world? There is no doubt that the man is his mother.
Remember once, when mother is cooking for me, and some spicy and hot frying oil suddenly on the mother's arms, suddenly, a string of the little chicken pox and swollen and presented here, but mother endured the cooking for me... The classmates, so have you had a similar experience? I think there must be! This world is not lack of love, only a few find eyes!
Students, though mother's day has past, but today, if you suddenly said to mother: "mom, happy mother's day!" When they are confused about, to get things through from the beginning to the end of said to them again, they will feel gratified! They'll think: "my children grow up, you will care about my mother."
The classmates, "gratitude" this two word is simple, it is even harder! As the saying goes: "drips of tu, when yongquan!" What's more, the mother gave us is not dripping of grace, but a piece of sea! A mother's love deep ratio than the mountain the sea, we'd never be able to repay not ah! We can only bit by bit return, we must learn to be grateful! Grateful mother, Thanksgiving society!
I finished the speech, thank you!
Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.
About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.
While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”
I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!
As it turned out, my dear old professor was right. Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!
With the development of the modern technology，private car is no longer a luxurious thing for ordinary people，more and more people drive to work instead of going by bus. The popularization of private car has many advantages.First， it is very convenient and time-saving ，you can drive your own car to the workplace instead of waiting for the crowded bus and afraid of being late for working.Second，it can also improve the traffic structure，and help to mitigate the stress of the traffic.Third， the popularization of private car can help to promote the car industry and any other interrelated industries. I believe that in the future the private car will become the most important vehicle and we cann't live without it.
随着现代科技的发展，私人汽车对于普通人来说不再是一件奢侈的事情，越来越多的人开车去上班而不是乘公共汽车。私人汽车的普及有很多优点。首先，它是非常方便和节省时间，你可以驾驶自己的汽车去工作而不是等着拥挤的公共汽车和上班迟到。第二，它也能改善交通结构，有助于缓解交通压力。第三，私人汽车的普及可以帮助促进汽车产业和其他相关产业。我相信在未来的私家车将成为最重要的交通工具，我们不能没有它。

今天，我将要念一封写给一位男生的情书。
有好多事想告诉你，不过不确定应该从哪里开始。也许你不记得我，不过没有关系。这些都是我想说的话，而且都是认真的，并且等着你在不经意间对我微笑。
你知道么，有个人时时想念你，惦念你?你含笑的眼睛，像星光闪闪，缀在我的`心幕，夜夜闪亮。
遇见你是命运的安排，而爱上你是我的情不自禁。你是我的一切，我是如此幸运，上帝让你来到我的身边。
没有杯子，咖啡是寂寞的，没有你，我是孤独的。没有你的日子，就像一本没有书页的书。我会想你，在漫漫长路的每一步。
你带我走出寂寞。如果我们只是遇见，不能停留，那么不如不见。爱情是生活的提神剂。我的心因你而笑。
我希望每个人都能理解这封情书，因为如果爱不疯狂，那就不是爱了。
最后，这封情书，我想送给在座的一位男生，告诉他，我喜欢他。
谢谢。
Celtic believed that the sun god helped them grow crops. But each year thesun god is attacked by an evil force called Samhain and spent six months incaptivity. Samhain, and two other titles, "Lord of Dead" and "Prince ofDarkness", came to Celtic land with cold and dark winters.
The celts are very afraid of the night of October 31, because they feellike there's a bunch of evil souls lurking everywhere. They set fire to theirhome to let evil spirits leave their homes. (the last untranslated paragraph wasthat the flames could frighten the ghost away.) They believed Samhain had calledthe dead, and they believed that Samhain would turn the dead into somethingelse, like a cat. The celts will be disguising their evil spirits with terribledisguises. (this is the prototype for Halloween.)
Then Rome took over the Celtic lands and put the Roman holiday togetherwith the Celtic Samhain festival on October 31, and it was now Halloween.
I was born in an ordinary family, but I never feel lacking anything in mylife. I receive love from my family. When I meet troubles, they support mewithout hesitation. The strong connection of kinship provides me the great powerto move on.
我出生在一个平凡的家庭，但在我的生活中，我从不觉得有缺失。我从家人那里得到了爱。当我遇到困难时，他们会毫不犹豫地支持我。紧紧联系在一起的亲情给了我前进的动力。
Chinese people pay special attention to the family reunion. No matter how faraway they are, the family members will come home and have big dinner ontraditional festivals. The meal means so much for everyone. People enjoy themoment to have communication with each other and strengthen therelationship.
中国人特别注重家庭团聚。所以不管他们在哪里，传统节日的时候家庭成员都会回家吃大餐。这顿饭对每个人来说都很重要，大家享受着彼此之间的交流，加强了彼此的关系。
With the family’s support, we will be a strong person, no matter how hard thelife is. When we meet difficulties, it is natural for us to think about ourfamilies, as they give us the motivation to get over the hard time. If we aretired, just go home and talk to our parents, then all the annoyances will beforgotten and they mean nothing to you compared to the kinship.
有了家人的支持，无论生活多么艰难，我们都会成为一个坚强的人。当我们遇到困难时，我们很自然地会想到我们的家人，他们给了我们克服困难的动力。如果我们累了，回家和父母谈谈，所有的烦恼都将被遗忘，与亲情相比这些烦恼什么都不是。
The close kinship is the infinite power to lead us a positive life. I cherishall the love they give me.
亲密的亲情给我们积极的生活带来无限力量。我珍惜他们给我的所有爱。
As the saying goes: "failure is the mother of success." This seems to have become a commonplace talk of an old scholar, but the actions and words are sometimes not consistent. When you report "red light", or the difficulties encountered in the work, your heart is in addition to upset, the other nothing? Are you aware of this failure is pregnant with the seeds of success! In this regard, everyone's answer is certainly not the same! This is quite necessary to talk about: failure is the mother of success.
There everything is going smoothly. Things, yet failure is always there, otherwise, the "inventor", "literary giant" reputation will not easily fall everyone's head? Throughout history, those who rise above the common herd men can succeed, it is because they can treat correctly failure, learn from failure to kick in, fail this stumbling block, set foot on the road to success, such as the great inventor Thomas Edison, too many to count - successful students, life is too many to count the failure. He was an invention has undergone eight thousand failed experiment, but he does not think it is a waste, but said: "why should I sad? This failed eight thousand times at least, so I understand the eight thousand experiments is not feasible." Edison's attitude towards failure. He often draw lessons from failure, sum up experience, thus achieved at a failed many times in the basis of inventions. Failures will bring pain, but it can also make people gain; it is pointed out to us that the errors and shortcomings in work, but also inspire us step by step to success. Failure is the success of negation, and is the foundation of success, that is to say: "failure is the mother of success."
However, in reality the success not failure accumulation, but failed to summary and beyond. If you don't understand this point, will cause the "absurd conclusion failure of more and more successful". Such as mathematics famous parallel axiom, from its inception, has always been suspicions. For thousands of years, countless mathematicians committed to proving the parallel axiom, but failed. The mathematician Porie engaged in the parallel axiom that there is no success, eventually died a painful death in despair. While the problem like a bottomless pit, gobbling up the people's wisdom and gives nothing in return, LObachevsky after seven years of verification without results, find out the reasons of failure. LObachevsky after numerous failures, summarizes and analyzes the failure of the antecedents and consequences, from the understanding of the problem, which was a success. Thus, "failure is the mother of success" is an objective law, but really want to transition from failure to success may become a reality, but also must pass through the analysis of exploration and scientific constantly, draw lessons from failure, to guide future work, so it is not "in vain" failure.
Young people prone to failure in the work, also easy to lose heart, therefore, we only remember "failure is the mother of success." this saying, to establish a strong self-confidence, can see the hope from the disappointment, from failure to success.
"Failure is the mother of success" should not only be our favorite motto, it is more important to be our guide to action. "Bao Jianfeng from sharpen out, the plum blossom incense come from the bitter cold", benefit from the failure, rising from the hard work, this is the youth road.
Dear teachers and students
hello everyone.
Today, the topic of my speech is "cherish time and love learning".
We often say that tomorrow will be better. Yes, tomorrow is beautiful, but a beautiful tomorrow will not fall from the sky. It depends on your wisdom, diligence and hard work today. Only today's efforts can get the beauty of tomorrow.
The ancients once wrote a "song of tomorrow": "tomorrow is tomorrow again, how many tomorrow is. I was born to wait for tomorrow, and everything is wasted." Tomorrow is limited for everyone. We should cherish time and love learning.
Students, learning is for future dedication, learning is for their own survival. To learn homework well, we must also learn to study, cultivate good learning habits and master scientific learning methods.
Therefore, learning first depends on "diligence". The great man said: "genius comes from diligence, intelligence comes from effort! The so-called" diligence "is to cherish time. Second, relying on "thinking", we can't learn from those who encourage others, let alone those who swallow them. "Thinking" means that learning should focus on science.
Students, please cherish time, cherish tomorrow and study hard. If we earnestly attend every class, do every homework, read every book and do everything well, we can get excellent results in the exam, we will not live up to the cultivation and expectations of our parents and teachers, and our life will be better tomorrow!
My speech is over!
Thank you!

As we all know,safety is very important.We often hear people say “safety first”.As a middle school student,we should learn to protect ourselves from every possible danger.Here are some things I do.I hope you can follow them.
On your way to school and home.You should obey the traffic rules.You should walk on the right side of the road.Don’t ride your bike too fast.
During school,you can’t fight with each other.Don’t play with fire.Don’t bring knife to school.Don’t go out of school without your teacher’s permission.
In public places or campus,enough water plugs,extinguishing agents and emergency outlets should be set and prepared for unforeseen circumstances.
Above all,a series of precautions must be taken to guarantee the students' safety.Let's make the campus safe through our long-term unremitting efforts.Without safety,we can do nothing.

Opening Statement: Sexual Harrassment Hearings Concerning Judge Clarence ThomasMr.Chairman, Senator Thurmond, members of the committee, my name is Anita F.
Hill, and I am a professor of law at the University of Oklahoma.
I was born on a farm in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, in 1956.
I am the youngest of 13 children.
I had my early education in Okmulgee County.
My father, Albert Hill, is a farmer in that area.
My mothers name is Irma Hill.
She is also a farmer and a housewife.
My childhood was one of a lot of hard work and not much money, but it was one of solid family affection, as represented by my parents.
I was reared in a religious atmosphere in the Baptist faith, and I have been a member of the Antioch Baptist Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, since 1983.
It is a very warm part of my life at the present time.
For my undergraduate work, I went to Oklahoma State University and graduated from there in 1977.
I am attaching to this statement a copy of my resume for further details of my education.
I graduated from the university with academic honors and proceeded to the Yale Law School, where I received my JD degree in 1980.
Upon graduation from law school, I became a practicing lawyer with the Washington, DC, firm of Ward, Hardraker, and Ross.
In 1981, I was introduced to now Judge Thomas by a mutual friend.
Judge Thomas told me that he was anticipating a political appointment, and he asked if I would be interested in working with him.
He was, in fact, appointed as Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights.
After he had taken that post, he asked if I would become his assistant, and I accepted that position.
In my early period there, I had two major projects.
The first was an article I wrote for Judge Thomas signature on the education of minority students.
The second was the organization of a seminar on high-risk students which was abandoned because Judge Thomas transferred to the EEOC where he became the chairman of that office.
During this period at the Department of Education, my working relationship with Judge Thomas was positive.
I had a good deal of responsibility and independence.
I thought he respected my work and that he trusted my judgment.
After approximately three months of working there, he asked me to go out socially with him.
What happened next and telling the world about it are the two most difficult things -- experiences of my life.
It is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration and sleepless number -- a great number of sleepless nights that I am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone but my close friends.
I declined the invitation to go out socially with him and explained to him that I thought it would jeopardize what at the time I considered to be a very good working relationship.
I had a normal social life with other men outside of the office.
I believed then, as now, that having a social relationship with a person who was supervising my work would be ill-advised.
I was very uncomfortable with the idea and told him so.
I thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons my employer would abandon his social suggestions.
However, to my regret, in the following few weeks, he continued to ask me out on several occasions.
He pressed me to justify my reasons for saying no to him.
These incidents took place in his office or mine.
They were in the form of private conversations which would not have been overheard by anyone else.
My working relationship became even more strained when Judge Thomas began to use work situations to discuss sex.
On these occasions, he would call me into his office for reports on education issues and projects, or he might suggest that, because of the time pressures of his schedule, we go to lunch to a government cafeteria.
After a brief discussion of work, he would turn the conversation to a discussion of sexual matters.
His conversations were very vivid.
He spoke about acts that he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having sex with animals and films showing group sex or rape scenes.
He talked about pornographic materials depicting individuals with large penises or large breasts involved in various sex acts.
On several occasions, Thomas told me graphically of his own sexual prowess.
Because I was extremely uncomfortable talking about sex with him at all and particularly in such a graphic way, I told him that I did not want to talk about these subjects.
I would also try to change the subject to education matters or to nonsexual personal matters such as his background or his beliefs.
My efforts to change the subject were rarely successful.
Throughout the period of these conversations, he also from time to time asked me for social engagements.
My reaction to these conversations was to avoid them by eliminating opportunities for us to engage in extended conversations.
This was difficult because at the time I was his only assistant at the Office of Education -- or Office for Civil Rights.
During the latter part of my time at the Department of Education, the social pressures and any conversation of his offensive behavior ended.
I began both to believe and hope that our working relationship could be a proper, cordial, and professional one.
When Judge Thomas was made chair of the EEOC, I needed to face the question of whether to go with him.
I was asked to do so, and I did.
The work itself was interesting, and at that time it appeared that the sexual overtures which had so troubled me had ended.
I also faced the realistic fact that I had no alternative job.
While I might have gone back to private practice, perhaps in my old firm or at another, I was dedicated to civil rights work, and my first choice was to be in that field.
Moreover, the Department of Education itself was a dubious venture.
President Reagan was seeking to abolish the entire department.
For my first months at the EEOC, where I continued to be an assistant to Judge Thomas, there were no sexual conversations or overtures.
However, during the fall and winter of 1982, these began again.
The comments were random and ranged from pressing me about why I didnt go out with him to remarks about my personal appearance.
I remember his saying that some day I would have to tell him the real reason that I wouldnt go out with him.
He began to show displeasure in his tone and voice and his demeanor and his continued pressure for an explanation.
He commented on what I was wearing in terms of whether it made me more or less sexually attractive.
The incidents occurred in his inner office at the EEOC.
One of the oddest episodes I remember was an occasion in which Thomas was drinking a Coke in his office.
He got up from the table at which we were working, went over to his desk to get the Coke, looked at the can and asked, Who has pubic hair on my Coke? On other occasions, he referred to the size of his own penis as being larger than normal, and he also spoke on some occasions of the pleasures he had given to women with oral sex.
At this point, late 1982, I began to feel severe stress on the job.
I began to be concerned that Clarence Thomas might take out his anger with me by degrading me or not giving me important assignments.
I also thought that he might find an excuse for dismissing me.
In January of 1983, I began looking for another job.
I was handicapped because I feared that, if he found out, he might make it difficult for me to find other employment and I might be dismissed from the job I had.
Another factor that made my search more difficult was that there was a period -- this was during a period of a hiring freeze in the government.
In February of 1983, I was hospitalized for five days on an emergency basis for acute stomach pain which I attributed to stress on the job.
Once out of the hospital, I became more committed to find other employment and sought further to minimize my contact with Thomas.
This became easier when Allison Duncan (sp) became office director, because most of my work was then funneled through her and I had contact with Clarence Thomas mostly in staff meetings.
In the spring of 1983, an opportunity to teach at Oral Roberts University opened up.
I participated in a seminar -- taught an afternoon session and seminar at Oral Roberts University.
The dean of the university saw me teaching and inquired as to whether I would be interested in furthering -- pursuing a career in teaching, beginning at Oral Roberts University.
I agreed to take the job in large part because of my desire to escape the pressures I felt at the EEOC due to Judge Thomas.
When I informed him that I was leaving in July, I recall that his response was that now I would no longer have an excuse for not going out with him.
I told him that I still preferred not to do so.
At some time after that meeting, he asked if he could take me to dinner at the end of the term.
When I declined, he assured me that the dinner was a professional courtesy only and not a social invitation.
I reluctantly agreed to accept that invitation, but only if it was at the every end of a working day.
On, as I recall, the last day of my employment at the EEOC in the summer of 1983, I did have dinner with Clarence Thomas.
We went directly from work to a restaurant near the office.
We talked about the work I had done, both at education and at the EEOC.
He told me that he was pleased with all of it except for an article and speech that I had done for him while we were at the Office for Civil Rights.
Finally, he made a comment that I will vividly remember.
He said that if I ever told anyone of his behavior that it would ruin his career.
This was not an apology, nor was it an explanation.
That was his last remark about the possibility of our going out or reference to his behavior.
In July of 1983, I left Washington, DC area and have had minimal contact with Judge Clarence Thomas since.
I am of course aware from the press that some questions have been raised about conversations I had with Judge Clarence Thomas after I left the EEOC.
From 1983 until today, I have seen Judge Thomas only twice.
On one occasion, I needed to get a reference from him, and on another he made a public appearance in Tulsa.
On one occasion he called me at home and we had an inconsequential conversation.
On one occasion he called me without reaching me, and I returned the call without reaching him, and nothing came of it.
I have on at least three occasions, been asked to act as a conduit to him for others.
I knew his secretary, Diane Holt.
We had worked together at both EEOC and education.
There were occasions on which I spoke to her, and on some of these occasions undoubtedly I passed on some casual comment to then Chairman Thomas.
There were a series of calls in the first three months of 1985, occasioned by a group in Tulsa, which wished to have a civil rights conference.
They wanted Judge Thomas to be the speaker and enlisted my assistance for this purpose.
I did call in January and February to no effect, and finally suggested to the person directly involved, Susan Cahal (ph) that she put the matter into her own hands and call directly.
She did so in March of 1985.
In connection with that March invitation, Ms.
Cahal (ph) wanted conference materials for the seminar and some research was needed.
I was asked to try to get the information and did attempted to do so.
There was another call about another possible conference in July of 1985.
In August of 1987, I was in Washington, DC and I did call Diane Holt.
In the course of this conversation, she asked me how long I was going to be in town and I told her.
It is recorded in the message as August 15.
It was, in fact, August 20th.
She told me about Judge Thomass marriage and I did say congratulate him.
It is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration that I am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone except my closest friends.
As Ive said before these last few days have been very trying and very hard for me and it hasnt just been the last few days this week.
It has actually been over a month now that I have been under the strain of this issue.
Telling the world is the most difficult experience of my life, but it is very close to having to live through the experience that occasion this meeting.
I may have used poor judgment early on in my relationship with this issue.
I was aware, however, that telling at any point in my career could adversely affect my future career.
And I did not want early on to burn all the bridges to the EEOC.
As I said, I may have used poor judgment.
Perhaps I should have taken angry or even militant steps, both when I was in the agency, or after I left it.
But I must confess to the world that the course that I took seemed the better as well as the easier approach.
I declined any comment to newspapers, but later when Senate staff asked me about these matters I felt I had a duty to report.
I have no personal vendetta against Clarence Thomas.
I seek only to provide the committee with information which it may regard as relevant.
It would have been more comfortable to remain silent.
I took no initiative to inform anyone.
But when I was asked by a representative of this committee to report my experience, I felt that I had to tell the truth.
I could not keep silent. Good morning:Honorable judges, dear teachers and close friends.
I’m very glad to stand here to share my speech with you.
Today I’m going to talk about Love and Take care of Nature.Mother Nature is an exquisite and complex life-system.
Its charm appears in the trees, stream, soil, insects, moss and fungus, all the things on the earth in different shapes, which are interdependent.
When you get close to nature, please remember, each tree, stone and species of animals here has lived harmoniously for hundreds, thousands or even millions of years.
When we pass away, they will continue to live.
They are the real masters, while we are just the passer-by.
However, the conduct we unconsciously do, such as picking, lumbering, tramping and abusing can probably destroy the balance of their life.
Therefore, we must reduce our bad influence as much as possible.
While you are enjoying the nature, do not forget please, the beauty of the lives also needs to be concerned with and to be protected.Each life on the earth has a long and touching evolutionary story.
From the origin, the lives of the human being are equal to those of others; they both are the composing parts of Mother Nature.
Nevertheless, for some inexplicable reasons, the human becomes the spirits of all creatures.
Of course, it is the result of the evolution, but still we should be grateful to all our companions in nature for the opportunity they offer.In spite of this, humans cannot live without earth.
They live on the earth, drink the sweet water, and enjoy the sunshine, the air, the sky, the fruit; the grains utilize the energy and so on.
In a word, the human being cannot live without nature, and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger.I do not like the word Pet, but preferring the word Animal instead.
I have been loving animal since I was just a little boy.
When thinking of the Pet Fashion, I always feel much annoyed.
For the animals will be given a shackle and lose their liberty if they become someones pets.
Their natural attribution can be deprived, too.Up to now, relying on their scientific power, the human have opened up too much and over developed nature, in order to fill up their growing appetites of wealth.
They destroy the balance of nature, however, they dont realize, their own development and existence will be threatened.
Therefore, our sights should be focused on nature and we should try to develop the concept of keeping human and nature in unity.We should lay emphasis on our education with consider cultural and natural emotion. Greetings,everybody.Its really great to be here.Id like to talk about my favorite TV channels.
I enjoy watching TV.Im not embarrassed to admit it.Not all programs are a big waste of time.
Some programs are educational and worthwhile.Some channels are relaxing and entertaining.Let me introduce my four favorites to you.
First,I love action movies.I thrive on the excitement.They make me feel so alive.
I pretend Im the hero.I always defeat the bad guys.I usually end up having a beautiful girlfriend.
Action movies are a blast.Action movie a nice escape.I recommend the action movies on HBO.
Second,I really like comedy.I like humorous entertainment.It always cheers me up.
Laughter is so healthy.Its like food for the soul.Its like sunshine on a rainy day.
My comedy must have quality.It must be wholesome and good-natured.It can never be sexist or humiliating.
Third,I love adventure programs.Im nuts about traveling.The Travel Channel is a favorite.
I also love to explore.Im into science and innovation.The Discovery Channel always fascinates me.
Besides,Im crazy about animals.I respect the animal kingdom.I think Animal Planet is really cool.
Finally,I love watching the news.Im a news freak.Im a politics junky.
I cant get enough of politics.I analyze and compare many news shows.I seldom believe much of what I hear.
I know politics turns a lot of people off.It turns me on.Its my duty as a citizen to stay informed.
In conclusion,I enjoy the tube.Its really not so bad.Its not all useless junk.
Enjoy and beware.Enjoy quality programs.Beware of becoming a couch potato.
Thank you for listening.Thanks for your attention.I hope you always watch excellent TV programs.

在我这18年的生命中，有着许多美好的经历，而大学生活则是其中最难忘的一段。我永远不会忘记刚刚跨进大学校园的那几天：花园一样的校园，热情活跃的学生，特别是那里的学习气氛，给我留下了深刻的印象。

经过了一段艰辛的军事训练后，我完全融入到了学习中。老师的讲课真是棒极了。他们传授给我们的不仅是课本上的知识，还包括其他各种各样的信息。我渴望获得尽可能多的知识，是老师激发起了我这个不能满足的欲望。

坦率地说，一开始我还不能跟上老师的讲课。但是，通过我自己的努力以及老师的指导，我取得了巨大的进步。我从老师的授课和其他许多学术报告中获益匪浅。

学习是个循序渐进、长期的过程，我会在知识的宝库中不断探索，丰富自我。今年暑假，我跨出象牙塔，进入并接触到了真正的社会。一个出版社给了我编辑和校对的兼职工作。

工作初期，同事们都礁不起我。但是，当我在一天之内翻译完7篇（总字数超过5000字）的英语文章后，他们真的是大吃一惊。渐渐地，他们开始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他们认为，我变成了一个有用并值得信赖的好同事。

我也同样意识到，只有那些为别人带来幸福的人才能真正的幸福。因而，我经常参加有关公众福利享业的活动。有一次，我和同学去了一个贫痔的山区村庄。在那里，我们教那些没钱上学的孩子。我向他们展示了一幅宽广、文明的外部世界的画面，但同时我也被那些孩子学习的渴望、他们的真诚和纯洁深深打动了。在我们离开的那一天，我那不争气的眼泪禁不住流了下来。这次珍贵的经历让我们这些未来的教师意识到了自己肩上的责任重大。

除了学习和社会实践，我还经常参加娱乐活动。我每天都锻炼身体，希望保持健康和充满活力。我们还在业余时间写剧本并排练演出。

园生活是最丰富多彩的。但是，不同的人有着不同的选择。大多数的学生珍惜他们的美好时光，并殷切希望将来能出类拔萃。可是，的确有学生无动于衷。他们聚在一起吃喝玩乐，他们忙于追求异性朋友，他们完全忘记了自己作为大学生的使命和祖国对他们的厚望。

最后，我希望每个人都能尽努力成为国家的有用人才。我也希望每个人都能成为我们民族的脊梁，为社会做出巨大的贡献!
Dear students,
our way of life is always sunny, blue skies, which in the end the most dazzling ray of sunlight? it was said to be ecellent academic performance, it was said to be given to help others ... ... and i think that our way of life of the most brilliant sunshine should be reported to belong to the temple map, help us to grow thanks to everyone. yes, the institute of thanksgiving is a feeling, the institute of thanksgiving, but also a character.
As teachers and our students, the most important gratitude is a school. schools to give us a big growth stage of life: bright and spacious classrooms, new desks and chairs, air-conditioned and well-being, as well as multi-media facilities, has provided us with an attractive learning environment. read one book bright and clean rooms, provides us with knowledge of the marine tour; flat beautiful big playground, provided us with a good place for the eercise, and pottery room, computer room, dance room, multi-purpose hall, and so on, no school is not out of devotion to our selfless love!
However, in these beautiful places, often with some notes of discord. read books in one room, some students read the book, abandonment, i do not know the original release, there is more tear, using the phenomenon of the book; when the red and green and white artificial big playground to open it selfless embrace, and some of the scenes of discord hurt our eyes: a wide range of confetti,。
How to Stay Healthy How to Stay Healthy
it’s important to Stay Healthy because you can do noting with a bad body.different people usually have different ways to Stay Healthy. in order to Stay Healthy,we need some mon knowledge .
first of all,i think that people should always take exercise .there are many kinds of sports , such as swimming,running and dancing.but the sport what i best like is basketball.regular exercise can help you keep from getting fat. secondly, you’d better eat vegetables and fruit
instead of unHealthy snacks.you can also drink a lot of milk,it can help your bones bee stronger.finally,you should be in a good mood every day. in conclusion, if everyone can stick to what is mentioned above, keep a balanced diet,have a good mood everyday and take regular exercise, then you will be perfect and Healthy.
when i was nine years old i went off to summer camp for the first time. and my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. because in my family, reading was the primary group activity. and this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social. you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind. and i had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better. (laughter) i had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.
(laughter)
“'i live 17 miles from here.' i replied. 'my car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. it didn't. instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. i'm still able to teach my class, and i've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. if my car was meant to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.'
the secretary's eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. i smiled back and headed for class.“ so ended my story.
i scanned the sixty faces in my economics class at unlv. despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. somehow, my story had touched them. or maybe it wasn't the story at all. in fact, it had all started with a student's observation that i was cheerful.
deepak chopra has quoted an indian wise man as saying, “who you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say.“ i suppose it must be so.
camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. and on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. and it went like this: “r-o-w-d-i-e, that's the way we spell rowdie. rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie.“ yeah. so i couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (laughter) but i recited a cheer. i recited a cheer along with everybody else. i did my best. and i just waited for the time that i could go off and read my books.
I have a good friend. She is a girl. And she is pretty. She is very good atEnglish! And her English grades are very well!
My good friend is a student of HengFu Road Middle School in class fivejunior one. She is 13 years old. She is 1 years older than me. And she has twobeautiful eyes. She has a cherry mouth and a little nose. She loves to her smile is very beautiful.
Do you know her hobby? Let me tell you! Her favourite sport is enjoys doing housework and playing puter games. So her mother loves her verymuch. And all of her family love her，too.
I am very happy to be her friends!
I love my mother, because she is in the life, study for I hold a lot of heart, one morning when I was in recess and stationery, suddenly saw a bag of pencil case, I thought who put my pencil case in my desk, I looked at it and results in the table: no, I was like a cat on hot bricks, jingle bell the bell rang, I was worried, thought: this is terrible, didnt have pencil case. The results I saw mother is JiHuHu towards our class, my pencil case in hand, I have seen a, hurriedly ran quickly to the mother side took the pencil case, said thanks, mom ran into the classroom, and Ill sit in the seat, open the pencil-box, saw a piece of paper, see the words later dont be too careless, even forgot to take my pencil case! I brush the color in the face, like a big red apple is red.
Another time raining hard, the rain when I went to school, at recess I have a fever, classmate said to the teacher, the teacher make a phone call to mother, mother, hurried to school, I saw my mother mud and water came into the classroom picked up, went to the hospital, the doctor said to her two days, my mother went to school, please the false, take care of me for two days and two nights at the hospital, the third day I good, mom man, I gave my mother a cup of medicine she happy straight kua I sensible, grow up, mother hurts.
Mother paid too much for me, I use words cannot express the mothers love for me.
Ilana Wexler's speech at 20xx
My name is Ilana Wexler. I'm 12 years old, and I am the founder of “Kids for Kerry.”
Kids for Kerry is a grassroots organization of kids that support John Kerry, want to help their futures, and get active in politics.
When my parents went to see Teresa Heinz Kerry speak, they told me that she was amazing! -- and that they thought John Kerry would make a great President. I decided to find out more about John Kerry. I talk about what I learned by using my ABCs.
“A” is America. John Kerry is a hero to America, and he will help our futures. He is a great and positive role model.
“B” is Better education. John Kerry wants to make class sizes smaller, so that children get the best part out of learning. He wants to help teachers because being a teacher is educating children, and letting them out into the world to do good things.
“C” is Compassion towards children. John Kerry wants to make sure that health care is not a privilege, but it is something that we can all afford.
This summer, I was supposed to go to my favorite camp. But instead, I decided to go to the John Kerry office every day. Kids can really help!
On , we have an interactive presidential quiz. There are 270 questions for the electoral votes John Kerry will win. Plus, 25 questions to make up for Florida from the last election.
Our next goal is to have a petition for “National No Name-Calling Day,” a day that the candidates don't say anything negative about one another. When our Vice President had a disagreement with a Democratic senator, he used a REALLY BAD word.
If I said that -- If I said that word, I would be put in a “time-out.”
I think he should be put in a time-out.
One night, I complained to my mom about the lack of time. Finally she said,"you are short of time just because you waste precious minutes on complaints and anxiety. The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit in some thing more."
It is the same with filling the jar. Even if you place a dozen fist-sized rocks and a bucket of gravel into the jar, there is still space for sand and water between the rocks and gravel.
The lack of time is just the excuse for my negligence of every single minute. I believe that the great dividing line between success and failure can be expressed in six words,"I did not have enough time."The fact is I do have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. The point is I have never touched upon the real meaning of life which lies in snatching, seizing and enjoying every minute of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination, no complaint! It is during my moments of complaining or hesitation that my destiny is shaped. Once I make full use of every moment, I believe that, my worries will be gradually cut down to nothing.
Time is the most valuable of all our possessions, but the most perishable as well. As Henry David Thoreau said,"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."
Whenever I fell the lack of time in the future, I will tell myself "Carpe diem , seize the day, make every moment count."
抓住每分每秒
有天晚上，我向妈妈抱怨自己事情太多，时间不够。她说道：“你抱怨没有时间就是因为你把珍贵的分分秒秒都浪费在抱怨和焦虑上。关键是，无论你的时间表排得多满，如果你真的努力尝试了，你还是总能间插地做些事情。”
这同填充广口瓶是一个道理，即使你将一小堆拳头大小的石块和一桶碎石倒进瓶里，也还能继续倒入沙子和水，使其漏进石块的间隙中去。
“没时间”无异于我为自己浪费分分秒秒找的托词罢了。我相信成功与失败的一线之差可以用六个字来形容：“我没足够时间。” 然而事实上，我却与海伦.凯勒，帕斯特，杰弗逊和爱因斯坦每天所拥有的时间分秒不差。关键是我并未触及生命的真谛：抓住，享受生命的每一分钟。不要碌碌无为，不要耽搁推迟，不要牢骚抱怨!往往是在我抱怨和迟疑的时候，我的命运就被决定了。而一旦我能善用分分秒秒，我相信我的烦恼也会被逐渐瓦解。
在我们所拥有的财富中，时间是最珍贵而又最不持久的。正如梭罗所说的那样：“你得抓住现在，把握机会，在短暂的瞬间中寻找永恒。”
如果将来我再发觉没时间的时候，我会告诫自己，“carpe diem (拉丁语)，抓住今天，抓住每分每秒。”
英语演讲稿三：Hold Fast To Your Dreams
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.
抓牢你的梦想
我今天有一个梦想。
我梦想有一天，幽谷上升，高山下降，崎岖之地变平原，曲折之路成坦途。圣光展露，满照人间。
这对马丁路德金是怎样的一个梦想啊。不过这个变化着的世界似乎在告诉我，在成长的过程中，人们却不知不觉把他们的梦想弄丢了，而我自己也有时会觉得在告别很多童年的梦。
然而，我们是需要梦想的。梦想滋养我们的灵魂，梦想代表着我们被现实拉垮时依然具有的希望。它鼓励我们不断前进。大多数成功人士都是梦想家，同时也是普通人，只是他们敢于梦想敢于成就伟大。当我们还是孩子的时候，我们都梦想过做一番大事业，现在应当做的就是保存好那些梦想，再度恢复它们，并将它们实现。不过最难的是我们通常不知道怎样付诸实施。那么，就从最具体的目标开始，坚持去做吧。不要让那些莫名的恐惧迷惑了我们的双眼，影响了我们对未来的信念。用我们的天资和智慧，用我们的耐力和创造力，我们一定会实现梦想。
抓牢你的梦想，因为如果梦想死亡，生活就成了一只折断翅膀的鸟再也不能飞翔。抓牢你的梦想，因为如果失去梦想，生命就成了一块覆盖着冰雪的贫瘠的冻土。亲爱的朋友们，想想那些过去的或已经死去的梦想吧。不管是什么，重新将它捡起，并从今天开始让它重生。
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.
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.
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.
i love english as everyone knows,english is very important today.it has been used everywhere in the world.it has become the most common language on internet and for international trade. if we can speak english well,we will have more chance to succeed.because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn english has increased at a high speed.
but for myself,i learn english not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.when i learn english, i can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.when i read english novels,i can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.when i speak english, i can feel the confident from my words.when i write english,i can see the beauty which is not the same as our chinese...
i love english,it gives me a colorful dream.i hope i can travel around the world one day. with my good english, i can make friends with many people from different contries.i can see many places of great intrests.i dream that i can go to london,because it is the birth place of english.
i also want to use my good english to introduce our great places to the english spoken people,i hope that they can love our country like us.
i know, rome was not built in a day. i believe that after continuous hard study, one day i can speak english very well.
if you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. so i believe as i love english everyday , it will love me too.
i am sure that i will realize my dream one day!
thank you!
亲爱的老师，同学们：
我很高兴可以在这个课堂上做一次演讲。这一次，我想谈谈英语。我的话题是我爱英语。
正如每个人所知，英语在今天十分重要。它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。
但是对我而言，我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性，更是因为我喜爱英语。当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美……
我爱英语，它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界，用我流利的英语，我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到许多的名胜。我希望我能够到伦敦去，因为那里是英语的故乡。
我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友，我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。
我知道，罗马不是一天筑成的。(成功需要日积月累。)我相信在持续不断的努力学习下，总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。
如果你想被爱，你就应该学着去爱他人。所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。
我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦!
谢谢!
