I Regain Confidence
I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years. I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted. But one of the panel members told me: "You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged." My life has never been the same since. I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.
As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party. Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English. Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf. To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. As the dwarf, I was a big hit.
Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.
A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.
Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world. I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites. I would rather be myself. I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. Please, be yourself.
我重树信心
大学生活的几年里，当我参加第一次面试时，我的自信心受到了沉重的打击。我向“学生剧团”申请出演一个主角，而且我十分自信地认为我会被录用。但是,其中有个剧团成员告诉我:“你似乎不太合适出演这个角色，因为你的身高有点问题。”我从未遇到过这种情况。我穿着高跟鞋来弥补我的身高，采用心理策略和技巧来掩盖自己信心的缺乏。但是，不论我怎样努力进入角色，感觉还是缺少些什么。
作为英语俱乐部的主席，我为英语晚会组织排演了《白雪公主》短剧。不幸的是，我们找不到合适的人选出演最后一个小矮人。这个角色必须生性幽默，英语流利。突然，所有人的目光都转向了我，我知道那个小矮人就是我了。让我极度奇怪而又高兴的是，一上台，我完全投入到演出中，而且我那幽默的天性被发挥得淋漓尽致。作为一个‘’小矮人”，我取得了巨大的成功。
的确，我们中的任何一个人都是千百万中的一员，但我们中的每个人都是一个与众不同的个体。发挥我们自己的个性会改变我们的生活，使它们成为美丽的万花筒。
失去了多样性的世界是个冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲剧不是个矮、害羞或丑陋，而是将自己的个性迷失在一个克隆的世界里，那里到处都是典型的酷男孩或无瑕、迷人的好姑娘。
如果让我选择，我宁可面貌五陋，也不愿生活在这样一个世界里。我宁可做一个伴随“白雪公主”的真实的小矮人，也不愿做“白雪公主”世界里的一个白雪公主，而随波逐流。我宁可作为一个真实的自我而出现。我愿将自己独特的、与众不同的色彩奉献给多姿多彩的世界。“走自己的路，让别人去说吧!”

East and West have met
runner-up: Rui Cheng gang, Foreign Affair College
Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:
Kipling said:" East is east, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!" But now, a century later, they have met.
They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the arts.
Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West ,but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.
But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity?
History makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.
Some people seem to think that adopting Western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in China, instead of the traditional Chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.
They fear that as we become "globalized", we will no longer be Chinese.
I do not agree.
History teachers that a strong and confident nation is at ease in hearing from the outside world.
The wedding of Eastern and Western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.
It is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.
As an amateur gourmet of Chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.
But my Chinese taste appreciates food from any land.
I even allow the convenience of McDonald's a place in my life without giving up my good taste.
My grandfather taught me to hum tunes of Beijing opera from the time I was very young; they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.
I love Beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who I am.
But I am also a fan of modern pop music, the No.1 fan of Spice Girls on campus.
of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance. It goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.
Once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a Chinese boy and an American girl had a squabble.
Both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.
Surely you've seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.
Nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural. No wonder they wanted him. The Chinese boy played his er-hu. Happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air. The little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music. He liked what he heard.
The girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.
The rabbit began to bounce in her direction.
So intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.
The competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn .Unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up ;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit. . .alone.
But, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other's music, instead of always playing their own tunes?
When I hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced.. . I hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.
Is music mine and yours, or is it ours?
What I want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and in tune. Together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with textures and sounds that can only be made in harmony.
The rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun. Waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.
Will he have to wait forever? The choice is ours . Thank you.
尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们：吉卜林说过，“东方是东方，西方是西方，两者永不聚!”然而如今，在一个世纪之后，东西方相聚了。
它们在贸易中相聚，在教育中相聚，在艺术中相聚。
有人争论说这种东西方之聚,使得我们能够在东西方中作出选择.然而我相信最美好的未来在于东西方世界的创造性的结合，我们可以变西方的观念、习俗、技术为己所有，为己所用;我们可以享受两上不同世界之精华，总之，我们的传统之一就是择其精华，为己所用。
然而，西方的生活方式和价值会威胁到我们的民族特色吗?
历史让我们轻易相信——也许是太轻易地让我们相信此说了。
有人似乎认为彩西方习俗，比如新娘结婚穿白色婚纱，是对外国介入的屈服，是对传统遗产的背叛，因为按中国传统，结婚新娘要穿红色，而白色长期以来代表的是哀悼。
这些人担心一量我们变得全球化，我们也就不在是中国人了。
我不这样认为。
历史告诉我们：一个强大自信的民族学起外面的世界易如反掌 。
无论是穿白衣还是黑衣，还是东西方异质文化的联姻，都给我们带来多姿多采的生活。
东西方异质文化的联姻是一席来自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。
身为中国菜的业余美食家，我喜欢民族的佳肴。
然而我的中国口味也欣赏异国的风味。
生活中我为简便吃麦当劳，却不会放弃自己的良好口味。
从小祖父就教我哼唱京剧，京剧深入我的精神之中，成为我灵魂的一部分。
我热爱京剧，因为京剧让我总想起自己是谁。
但是我也迷恋现代流行音乐，在学校里还是“辣味女孩”的头号歌迷。
当然，异质文化的交流远不止于食物、音乐和舞蹈，它深入到价值观和世界观。 有一次老师给我讲了一个中国男孩和一个美国女孩发生争执的故事。
在花园里他们俩发现了一只小兔，两人都想要。
你肯定见过草丛中晒太阳的小兔。
没什么东西比小兔子更可爱的，更富有自然情趣了，难怪他们两人都想要它。
男孩拉起了二胡，愉快喜悦的琴声，充满了渴望和激情，回荡在空中，小兔子听着这音乐轻轻摇摆，耳朵转向音乐，它喜爱男孩的琴声。
女孩也取出小提琴，拉出悠扬的旋律。
小兔子听了朝她跑去。
两人都全神贯注于自己的音乐，丝毫没注意对方演奏的音乐。
交杂在一块的音乐困惑了小兔子，它不知该朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能将小兔子吸引过来，只好放弃，各自走开了，扔下小兔子独自一人。
然而倘若他们倾听对方的音乐，而不是各自为歌，那么结果会如何呢?
当我听到小提琴声响起，男男女女走道一起又唱又跳，乐声中充满了欢乐， 此时我也听见了草原上、山谷间、小河旁传来得我们本民族的音乐的回声。
音乐分你我，还是属于我们大家?
我想听的是二胡与小提琴的合奏，旋律与节奏和谐一致。
大家一起才能创造出新颖动听音乐， 只有在和谐中大家才能创造出富有神韵的乐声。
在温暖的阳光中，小兔子在等待着我们一起演奏，等待着交响乐开始。
他有必要再永远的等下去吗?决择在于我们自己。谢谢。

Me and my Fears
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!
Thank you.
战胜恐惧
尊敬的评委，各位来宾，女士们先生们，我很荣幸在这个美妙的星期六早上来到这里，与你们分享我生命中一段特别的经历。
大概一年半以前，我参加了生平第一次演讲比赛。站在麦克风前，面对观众们期待的眼神，我竟紧张的说不出话来。那一刻，我是多么无助啊!
我对于英语的挚爱从未改变，但却从此失去了面对公众演讲的勇气。当老教授鼓励我参加希望英语风采大赛时，我拒绝了。他直视我的眼睛，说了一番令我终身难忘的话。“你瞧，”他说，“我们都有自己的恐惧。你可能会在一场篮球比赛中扭脚，并从此害怕再打球。你只能用行动去克服自己的恐惧，逃避是没有用的。生活中的成功者往往是永不放弃的人。”
我花了一整天时间思考他的话。 然后，我做出了一个勇敢而明智的决定： 我要参加中央电视台第五届“希望之星”英语风采大赛!
老教授是对的。我发挥出了自己的水平，一路杀进了全国总决赛。此时此刻，当我再一次站在了麦克风前，仍然心跳不止，但更重要的是，我终于能够勇敢地面对我的恐惧了，而这已足够了。

Obese patients around the world more than a year a year due to cerebrovascular disease caused by obesity are becoming the stealth killer of people. Worldwide each year because of obesity caused by cardiac sudden death can be said to be countless. America's fattest Hollywood star Leo * Ross he waistline 6.2 feet weighs 385 pounds. He has a show in the UK because of heart failure was sent to Thompson first aid center rescue workers used the best medicine using the most advanced equipment still unable to save his life. Deathbed Leo rose despair who muttered: "your body is very large but your life need is only a heart dirty." Ross's words deeply touched thoracic surgery expert at present. In order to express their respect to the Ross's also in order to remind people of extraordinary weight at the same time the hospital had Ross's words on the hospital building.
Later an American billionaire oil tycoon's also admitted to the hospital because of heart failure he saw the Ross's dying left by this sentence vibration is very large. A month later he was released from the hospital but he didn't back to the United States but sold his company live to more than ten years ago in Scotland bought a villa in the countryside. In 20xx Thompson hospital one hundred celebrations the Merle is invited. Reporter asked why he sold his company he pointed to the hospital building star Leo rose left the line of gold. Merle: rich and obesity is to get more than what you need.
Who know that gold is a good thing but to wear gold on the wings of birds the birds could not fly. As Merle said: rich and obesity are won over what they need. This reminds me of a trap to catch the monkey. People put the coconut hollowed out and then tied with a rope fixed in the tree or on the ground left a small hole on the coconut inside put some food. The hole size just have to let the monkey stretch into a empty handed but can't hold the fist back to. Sniff the monkey will grasp the food it's his hand into but how also not clenched fist out of the mouth of the cave. When the hunter the monkey panic but not escape. No one caught the monkey the monkey was captured by his own obsession.
Person's life is often like this. Excessive pursuit of wealth excessive pursuit of fame but only to find the end the excessive pursuit of like obesity often goes well beyond the needs of the people and will bring us harm and disaster be made killer. The killer came for the only goal is our own.
It reminds me of the medieval Egypt Syria yemen and Palestinian sultan saladin. Prominent in his life but in front of the dead was a strange command asked his hands after he died his body wrapped in a shroud of the ordinary then car pulled led the army through the towns and villages. Everywhere to send people to the people's declared: "he used to have many countries provinces and countless wealth but now all his property is only the worthless shroud."
Yes body is very large but our life need is only a heart dirty; Person's life is very long but what we need most is? Perhaps this needs us to every person who wants to live with the practice of life to think and explore. In a word we can't spend and waste your lives accumulating things that seem to be reduced to ashes. Only thoughts and inner enrichment can give meaning to life and has eternal value. Although our body will decay our hands will wither but it's true kindness beauty and wisdom of life but will always flashing light.

Last year, Mothers Day spending on brunches, jewelry, salon appointments, flowers and greeting cards topped $20 billion, according to the National Retail Federation. And no doubt retailers hope to meet that amount this year too. Brands like American Greetings and Kay Jewelers, a Mothers Day advertising regular, portray the holiday, and therefore motherhood, as an event for young women doted on by attentive husbands and young children[took out the video ref since that wasnt an example of mothers being doted on]. But for many, both the holiday and the reality are as much about being a mother as they are about having, and caring for, their own mothers. And mothers taking care of mothers need more than mimosas and manicures to cope with life in the sandwich generation.
国家零售联合会的数据显示，去年母亲节，在美食、珠宝、聚会展会、鲜花和贺卡上的花费突破200亿美元。毫无疑问，零售商今年还想达到这个数。美国问候 与母亲节广告的常客凯伊珠宝等品牌使这一节日充满气氛。因此，母亲节是年轻妇女们受到细心的丈夫和小孩宠爱的一个节日(不要受视频影响，因为那不是一个母亲们受宠爱的例子)。然而对于很多人来说，无论在假日还是在现实中，她们既是母亲，也是女儿，也在照顾自己的母亲。而作为上有老下有小的一代人，母亲对母亲的照顾需要的不仅仅是鲜花与美甲。

I have been in University for about one year. During my stay here, I came to realize that university life is like drinking coke. We experience all tastes of life here, sour, sweet, bitter and hot.
I am from Province, which is far away from here. I often miss my Mum, friends, and relatives in my hometown. However, I can't see them very often. So loneliness always keeps me company. I am sad that I can't be there with them.
Lucky for me, life in university is rich and colorful. With more free time,we can do many more things besides study, such as joining societies clubs, and taking part-time jobs. Such activities not only make our life more colorful, but also help us improve all kinds of skills. The university is a society miniature, what we learn here will benefit our future life.
Our path in life will not always be smooth. Setbacks can't be avoided. Failing an important exam, break up with boy or girl friend, or refused by a promising company, such setbacks are likely to get us down. Sometimes we fell so frustrated that we even burst into tears.
Drinkin coke is wonderful, despite the undesirble consequent hiccups. It's bitter, sour and peppery, but also sweet. And you'll even feel excited after gulping down a glass. A college experience is part of growing up. We cry, smile, fall in love, get hurt, leave, learn and then we become a better person.
University life is like drinking coke. I'm experiencing it. And I know, I enjoy it!

good morning ladies and gentlemen:
the title of my speech today is “the doors that are open to us ”。
the other day my aunt paid me a visit. she was overjoyed. “i got thehighest mark in the mid-term examination!” she said. don't be surprised! my auntis indeed a student; to be exact, a college student at the age of 45.
last year, she put aside her private business and signed up for a one-year,full-time management course in a college. “this was the wisest decision i haveever made,” she said proudly like a teenage girl. to her, college is always aright place to pick up new ideas, and new ideas always make her feel young.
“compared with the late 70s,” she says, “now college students have manydoors.” my aunt cannot help but recall her first college experience in 1978 whencollege doors began to be re-opened after the cultural revolution. she wasassigned to study engineering despite her desire to study chinese literature,and a few years later, the government sent her to work in a tv factory.
i was shocked when she first told me how she (had) had no choice in hermajor and job. look at us today! so many doors are open to us! i believe therehave never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we havetoday. and my aunt told me that we should reach our goals by grasping all theseopportunities.
the first door i see is the opportunity to study different kinds ofsubjects that interest us. my aunt said she was happy to study management, butshe was also happy that she could attend lectures on ancient chinese poetry andon shakespearean drama. as for myself, i am an english major, but i may also goto lectures on history. to me, if college education in the past emphasizedspecialization, now, it emphasizes free and well-rounded development of eachindividual. so all the fine achievements of human civilization are open tous.
the second door is the door to the outside world. learning goes beyondclassrooms and national boundaries. my aunt remembers her previous college daysas monotonous and even calls her generation “frogs in a well.” but today, as theworld becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors and we beopen-minded to learn with and from each other. i have many fellow internationalclassmates, and i am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad.as for my aunt, she is planning to get an mba degree in the united kingdom whereher daughter, my cousin, is now doing her master's degree in biochemistry. weare now taking the opportunity to study overseas, and when we come back, we'llput to use what we have learnt abroad.
the third door is the door to lifelong learning. as new ideas appear allthe time, we always need to acquire new knowledge, regardless of our age.naturally, my aunt herself is the best example. many of my aunt's contemporariessay that she is amazingly up-to-date for a middle-aged woman. she simplyresponds, “age doesn't matter. what matters is your attitude. you may think it'sstrange that i am still going to college, but i don't think i'm too old tolearn.” yes, she is right. since the government removed the age limit forcollege admissions in _, there are already some untraditional students, sittingwith us in the same classrooms. like these people, my aunt is old but she isvery young in spirit. with her incredible energy and determination, she embodiesboth tradition and modernity.
the doors open to us also pose challenges. for instance, we are faced withthe challenge of a balanced learning, the challenge of preserving our finetradition while learning from the west, and the challenge of learningcontinuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work and family. so,each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the supportof my teachers, parents, friends and my aunt, i believe i can meet the challengehead on. when i reach my aunt's age, i can be proud to say that i have walkedthrough dozens of doors and will, in the remainder of my life, walk through manymore. possibly i will go back to college, too.
thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

do you know what my favorite animal is? it is one of the most precious animals. their bodies are very long. they live in the sea. they live on fish, shrimps and so on.
they are very clever. people often train them，so that they can give it show which brings people a lot of happiness and joy.
they are very friendly and peaceful. they never attack people. instead, they have saved many people in danger in the past years. how helpful they are!
can you guess its name now? yes, you are right. they are dolphins.
however, unluckily, the number of dolphins is getting smaller and smaller. because of water pollution, there is less and less space for dolphins. many people make money by hunting dolphins. if we don’t protect them，maybe we’ll lose our good friends one day. as a student, i hope more and more people should protect dolphins.
i love dolphins very much. and i hope dolphins are our good friends for ever. i hope they can live in the blue sea happily and peacefully. let’s protect the animals together. let’s take actions.

now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and i'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.
so now i'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today. guess what? books. i have a suitcase full of books. here's margaret atwood, “cat's eye.“ here's a novel by milan kundera. and here's “the guide for the perplexed“ by maimonides. but these are not exactly my books. i brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.
my grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when i was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books. i mean literally every table, every chair in this apartment had yielded its original function to now serve as a surface for swaying stacks of books. just like the rest of my family, my grandfather's favorite thing to do in the whole world was to read.
but he also loved his congregation, and you could feel this love in the sermons that he gave every week for the 62 years that he was a rabbi. he would takes the fruits of each week's reading and he would weave these intricate tapestries of ancient and humanist thought. and people would come from all over to hear him speak.

Hello, everyone! Good afternoon! I am very glad to have the chance to make this speech. My topic is: how to achieve success. First of all, let us see a story.
“Long long ago, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the men who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king gave them three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, there came up a handsome young prince in the king's palace." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, Prince successfully passed all the challenge and got the heart of the princess in time. And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily ever after."
Why aren't we tired of this story so beautiful, so uealistic (, I would say, so unimaginative ? How can a story like that can enduregenerations of repetition? The reason, I think, is that a typical success story like this is so close to our daily life. Moreover we can understand so deeply, it is not just a story, but a good will from people’s inner heart. By implication, we see a 4-step definitions of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess. So you’d better find your princess as soon as possible; 2 ) challenges to be meet, as represented by the three tasks. Only if you directly meet the challenge, can you besuccessful; 3 ) the process of overcoming difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage. That’s all! Find your princess, meet challenges, overcome difficulties, and have a good life.
Thank you!
译文:成功之我见
“很久以前,有个国王,他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战,而每一项任务都异常艰巨,
几乎不可能完成。一天,来了一位年轻英俊的王子”好了,下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同,但关键部分的情节都如出一辙:王子成功地过关,得到了公主的芳心。而故事的结局也都一样,最后一句都写道:“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想,因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强,具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示,我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一,目标的设定,有如故事里美丽的公主;第二,所遇到的困难和挑战,就像三大任务;第三,克服困难的过程,故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四,就是成功的果实,如同幸福的婚姻。

Hi, everyone. As we all know,many great inventions have brought greatchanges to our life. I think we students can also invent something.
大家好!我们都知道,许多伟大的发明给我们的生活带来了巨大的变化。我认为我们学生也可以发明一些东西。
Today I'm glad to be here to talk about what I'd like to invent - a chairthat's good for students' health. It will be made of wood. There will be twosensors in it -- one on the seat, and the other on the back of the chair. Whenthe student doesn't sit straight, the chair will remind him .If he sits on thechair for over one hour ,it will make a noise. It won't stop until the studentstands up and leaves.
今天我很高兴到这里来谈论我想发明——一把椅子,对学生的健康有好处。这将是用木头做的。将会有两个传感器，一个在椅子上，另一个在椅子后背。当学生不坐直,椅子会提醒他。如果他坐在椅子上超过一个小时,这将发出噪音。它不会停止,直到学生站起来,离开了。
It will be a useful invention, won't it ?
这将是一个有用的发明,不是吗?
Thank you!
谢谢大家!

Transcr ipt of Apple CEO Tim Cook's commencement address at Tulane University
苹果CEO蒂姆·库克杜兰大学毕业典礼演讲致词
Hello Tulane! Thank you President Fitts, Provost Forman, distinguished faculty, other faculty (laughs), and the entire Tulane family, including the workers, ushers, (and) volunteers who prepared this beautiful space. And I feel duty-bound to also recognize the hard-working bartenders at The Boot. Though they're not here with us this morning, I'm sure some of you are reflecting on their contributions as well. (The Boot is a popular college bar right next to Tulane's campus which has been around for decades.)
你好，杜兰大学！感谢菲茨校长、福尔曼教务长、尊敬的教职员工、其他教职员工[笑]以及整个杜兰大家庭，包括为这个美丽的讲堂做准备的工作人员、引座员和志愿者。我觉得我有责任也称赞一下在The Boot工作的辛勤的调酒师。虽然他们今天早上没有和我们在一起，但我相信你们中的一些人也在反思他们的贡献。[The Boot是一家受欢迎的大学酒吧，紧挨着杜兰大学校园，已经存在了几十年了。]
And just as many of you have New Orleans in your veins, and perhaps your livers, some of us at Apple have New Orleans in our blood as well. When I was a student at Auburn, the Big Easy was our favorite getaway. It's amazing how quickly those 363 miles fly by when you're driving toward a weekend of beignets and beer. And how slowly they go in the opposite direction. Apple's own Lisa Jackson is a proud Tulane alum. Yes. She brought the Green Wave all the way to Cupertino where she heads our environment and public policy work. We're thrilled to have her talent and leadership on our team.
就像你们中很多人的血管里也许还有肝脏里有新奥尔良一样，我们苹果公司的一些人的血液里也有新奥尔良。当我还是奥本大学的学生的时候，我们最喜欢的度假胜地是Big Easy。非常神奇的是，当你在周末开车驶向这个胜地，想象着甜甜圈和啤酒的时候，363英里的距离似乎一闪而过；而当你返程时，路途却显得那么遥远。苹果的员工丽莎-杰克逊(LisaJackson)是一位令人骄傲的杜兰大学校友。是。她把绿色浪潮一路带到了库比蒂诺，在那里她领导着我们的环境和公共政策工作。我们很高兴她能在我们的队伍中发挥才华和进行领导。
OK, enough about us. Let's talk about you. At moments like this, it always humbles me to watch a community come together to teach, mentor, advise, and finally say with one voice, congratulations to the class of 20xx!
好了，别再提我们了。让我们谈谈你们。在这样的时刻，看到一个社区聚集在一起传道受业解惑，最后用一个声音说，祝贺20xx年的同学们，这让我感到很谦卑！
Now there's another very important group: your family and friends. The people who, more than anyone else, loved, supported, and even sacrificed greatly to help you reach this moment. Let's give them a round of applause. This will be my first piece of advice. You might not appreciate until much later in your life how much this moment means to them. Or how that bond of obligation, love, and duty between you matters more than anything else.
现在还有一个非常重要的群体：你们的家人和朋友。那些比任何人都更爱你们、更支持你们、甚至甘愿自我牺牲的人，为了帮助你们达到这一时刻，他们付出了巨大的代价。让我们为他们鼓掌。这将是我的第一条建议。直到你生命的后期，你们才会意识到这一刻对他们来说有多么重要，或者意识到你们的义务、爱和责任有多么重要。
In fact, that's what I really want to talk to you about today. In a world where we obsessively document our own lives, most of us don't pay nearly enough attention to what we owe one another. Now this isn't just about calling your parents more, although I'm sure they'd be grateful if you did that. It's about recognizing that human civilization began when we realized that we could do more together. That the threats and danger outside the flickering firelight got smaller when we got bigger. And that we could create more - more prosperity, more beauty, more wisdom, and a better life - when we acknowledge certain shared truths and acted collectively.
事实上，这就是我今天真正想和你们说的。在一个我们沉迷于记录自己生活的世界里，我们中的大多数人对我们彼此亏欠的东西没有给予足够的关注。这不仅仅是给你们的父母打更多的电话，尽管我相信如果你们会这么做，他们会很感激的。当我们意识到我们可以在一起做更多的事情时，人类文明就开始了。当我们变得更越来越强大时，在闪烁的火光之外的威胁和危险就会变得越来越小。我们可以创造更多——更多的繁荣，更多的美，更多的智慧，更美好的生活——只要我们承认某些共同的真理并采取集体行动。
Maybe I'm biased, but I've always thought the South, and the Gulf Coast in particular, have hung on to this wisdom better than most. (Tim Cook grew up in Robertsdale, Alabama, which is about an hour from New Orleans and is similarly close to the Gulf of Mexico.) In this part of the country, your neighbors check up on you if they haven't heard from you in a while. Good news travels fast because your victories are their victories too. And you can't make it through someone's front door before they offer you a home-cooked meal.
也许我有偏见，但我一直认为南方，特别是墨西哥湾海岸，比大多数人更能坚持这一智慧。[库克在阿拉巴马州的罗伯茨代尔长大，那里距离新奥尔良大约一个小时的路程，同样靠近墨西哥湾。]在这个国家的这个地方，如果你们的邻居有一段时间没有你们的消息，他们会忍不住来看望你们。好消息传得很快，因为你们的胜利也是他们的胜利。在他们提供一顿热饭热菜招待你们之前，你们是不可能走出大门的。
Maybe you haven't thought about it very much, but these values have informed your Tulane education too. Just look at the motto: not for one's self, but for one's own. You've been fortunate to live, learn, and grow in a city where human currents blend into something magical and unexpected. Where unmatched beauty, natural beauty, literary beauty, musical beauty, cultural beauty, seem to spring unexpectedly from the bayou. The people of New Orleans use two tools to build this city: the unlikely and the impossible. Wherever you go, don't forget the lessons of this place. Life will always find lots of ways to tell you no, that you can't, that you shouldn't, that you'd be better off if you didn't try. But New Orleans teaches us there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than trying. Especially when we do it not in the service of one's self, but one's own.
也许你们还没有想太多，但这些价值观也影响了你们杜兰大学的教育。看看这句座右铭：不是为了自己，而是为了自己人。你们很幸运地生活、学习和成长在一座城市里，在这个城市里，人类的潮流融合成了一种神奇的、意想不到的东西。在那里，无与伦比的美，自然的美，文学的美，音乐的美，文化的美，似乎不期而至地从河口涌出。新奥尔良的人们使用两种工具来建造这座城市：不太可能的和不可能的。无论你走到哪里，都不要忘记这个地方的教训。生活总会找到很多方法来告诉你，不，你不能，你不应该，如果你不去尝试，你会过得更好。但是新奥尔良告诉我们，没有什么比尝试更美丽和更有价值了。尤其是当我们这样做不是为自己服务，而是为自己人服务的时候。
For me, it was that search for greater purpose that brought me to Apple in the first place. I had a comfortable job at a company called Compaq that at the time looked like it was going to be on top forever. As it turns out, most of you are probably too young to even remember its name. But in 1998, Steve Jobs convinced me to leave Compaq behind to join a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. They made computers, but at that moment at least, people weren't interested in buying them. Steve had a plan to change things. And I wanted to be a part of it.
对我来说，正是为了追求更伟大的目标，我才第一次来到苹果。我曾在一家叫康柏(Compaq)的公司找到了一份舒适的工作，在当时看来，这份工作将永远是的工作。事实证明，你们中的大多数人可能还太年轻，甚至不记得它的名字。但在1998年，史蒂夫-乔布斯说服我离开康柏，加入一家濒临破产的苹果公司。他们制造电脑，但至少在那一刻，人们对购买这些电脑并不感兴趣。史蒂夫有个改变一切的计划。我也想成为其中的一员。
It wasn't just about the iMac, or the iPod, or everything that came after. It was about the values that brought these inventions to life. The idea that putting powerful tools in the hands of everyday people helps unleash creativity and move humanity forward. That we can build things that help us imagine a better world and then make it real.
这不仅仅是iMac，或者iPod，或者之后的一切，而是使这些发明创意复活的价值观念。把强大的工具放在普通人手中将有助于释放创造力和推动人类向前发展。我们可以建造一些东西来帮助我们想象一个更美好的世界，然后让它成为现实。
There's a saying that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. At Apple, I learned that's a total crock. You'll work harder than you ever thought possible, but the tools will feel light in your hands. As you go out into the world, don't waste time on problems that have been solved. Don't get hung up on what other people say is practical. Instead, steer your ship into the choppy seas. Look for the rough spots, the problems that seem too big, the complexities that other people are content to work around. It's in those places that you will find your purpose. It's there that you can make your greatest contribution. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of being too cautious. Don't assume that by staying put, the ground won't move beneath your feet. The status quo simply won't last. So get to work on building something better.
有句谚语说，如果你做你喜欢做的事，你的人生中将永远不会有一天是在工作。在苹果公司，我知道了这是一个彻头彻尾的谎言。你会比你想象的更努力工作，但你却一点也不觉得费劲。当你走进这个世界的时候，不要把时间浪费在已经解决的问题上。不要为别人所说的是实际的情况而心烦意乱。相反，引导你的船进入波涛汹涌的大海。寻找那些蛮荒之地，那些看起来还很难解决的问题，那些其他人乐于解决的复杂问题。在那些地方，你会找到你的目标。在那里你可以做出你的贡献。无论你做什么，都不要犯太谨慎的错误。不要以为原地不动，地面就不会在你脚下移动。现状根本不会持久。所以开始做些更好的事吧。
In some important ways, my generation has failed you in this regard. We spent too much time debating. We've been too focused on the fight and not focused enough on progress. And you don't need to look far to find an example of that failure. Here today, in this very place, in an arena where thousands once found desperate shelter from a 100-year disaster, the kind that seem to be happening more and more frequently, I don't think we can talk about who we are as people and what we owe to one another without talking about climate change.
在某些重要的方面，我们这代人辜负了你们。我们花了太多时间辩论。我们一直太专注于斗争，而没有把足够的注意力放在进步上。你不需要看太远就能找到失败的例子。今天，就在这个地方，在这个成千上万人曾经绝望地躲避百年灾难的地方，这种灾难似乎变得越来越频繁。我认为，如果我们不谈论气候变化，我们就无法谈论我们是谁，以及我们彼此亏欠了什么。
(applause) Thank you. Thank you.
谢谢！谢谢！
This problem doesn't get any easier based on whose side wins or loses an election. It's about who has won life's lottery and has the luxury of ignoring this issue and who stands to lose everything. The coastal communities, including some right here in Louisiana, that are already making plans to leave behind the places they've called home for generations and head for higher ground. The fishermen whose nets come up empty. The wildlife preserves with less wildlife to preserve. The marginalized, for whom a natural disaster can mean enduring poverty.
这个问题不会因为谁胜谁负而变得简单，这是一个关乎谁赢了人生彩票、谁有忽视这个问题的能力、谁会失去一切的问题。沿海社区，包括路易斯安那州的一些社区，已经在计划离开世代以来被称为“家园”的地方，前往更海拔更高地方。如今渔民的渔网空空如也、野生动物生计萧条。对于生存在边缘地区的人来说，自然灾害往往就意味着持久的贫困。
Just ask Tulane's own Molly Keogh, who's getting her Ph.D. this weekend. Her important new research shows that rising sea levels are devastating areas of Southern Louisiana more dramatically than anyone expected. Tulane graduates, these are people's homes. Their livelihoods. The land where their grandparents were born, lived, and died.
问问杜兰大学的莫莉·基奥（Molly Keogh）就知道了，她这个周末就要拿到博士学位了。她的一项重要新研究表明，海平面上升对路易斯安那州南部地区造成的破坏比任何人预想的都要严重。杜兰大学的毕业生们，这些地方都是人们的家园、他们的生计、他们祖父母出生、生活和去世的地方。
When we talk about climate change or any issue with human costs, and there are many, I challenge you to look for those who have the most to lose and find the real, true empathy that comes from something shared. That is really what we owe one another. When you do that, the political noise dies down, and you can feel your feet firmly planted on solid ground. After all, we don't build monuments to trolls, and we're not going to start now.
当我们谈论气候变化或任何与人类成本有关的问题时，我有很多问题希望你们能够着手去做：去寻找那些因此损失的人，并从一些共同的东西中找到真正的、真正的同理心，这才是我们真正亏欠彼此的东西。当你这样做的时候，政治上的喧嚣就会平息下来，你会感到自己的脚牢牢地踩在了坚实的土地上。毕竟，我们从来不为巨魔建造纪念碑，也不会现在开创这个先例。
If you find yourself spending more time fighting than getting to work, stop and ask yourself who benefits from all the chaos. There are some who would like you to believe that the only way that you can be strong is by bulldozing those who disagree or never giving them a chance to say their peace in the first place. That the only way you can build your own accomplishments is by tearing down the other side.
如果你发现自己花在斗争上的时间比上班的时间还多。那么停下来，问问自己谁能从所有这些混乱中受益。有些人想让你相信，你能变得强大的方法，就是制服那些不同意你观点的人，或者从一开始就不给他们机会表达自己的机会。他们想让你相信，你能成就自己的方法就是摧毁对方。
We forget sometimes that our preexisting beliefs have their own force of gravity. Today, certain algorithms pull toward you the things you already know, believe, or like, and they push away everything else. Push back. It shouldn't be this way. But in 20xx, opening your eyes and seeing things in a new way can be a revolutionary act. Summon the courage not just to hear but to listen. Not just to act, but to act together.
我们有时会忘记，我们先前存在的信念有其自身的引力。今天，某些算法会把你已经知道、相信或喜欢的东西主动拉向你，而把其他的东西推开，但事情本不应该如此。然而在20xx年，睁开眼睛、以一种全新方式看待事物可能是一种革命性的行为。你不仅要鼓起勇气去听，还要有勇气去听。不仅仅是行动，而是要一起行动。
It can sometimes feel like the odds are stacked against you, that it isn't worth it, that the critics are too persistent and the problems are too great. But the solutions to our problems begin on a human scale with building a shared understanding of the work ahead and with undertaking it together. At the very least, we owe it to each other to try.
有时候你会觉得机会对你不利、觉得这么做不值得、觉得批评之声太过顽固，亦或觉得问题太大（超出了自己的处理能力）。但是，解决我们当下问题的办法首先就是在人类范畴内建立对今后工作的共同理解，并着手共同解决这一问题。至少，我们也应该放手一搏。
It's worked before. In 1932, the American economy was in a free-fall. Twelve million people were unemployed, and conventional wisdom said the only thing to do was to ride it out, wait, and hope that things would turn around. But the governor of New York, a rising star named Franklin Roosevelt, refused to wait. He challenged the status quo and called for action. He needed people to stop their rosy thinking, face the facts, pull together, and help themselves out of a jam.
这样的方式在之前曾成功过。1932年，当时的美国经济一落千丈，有1200万人失业。传统观点认为，我们能做的就是撑过这段时间、等待，并希望情况会有所好转。但当时政途冉冉升起的纽约州州长富兰克林o罗斯福（Franklin Roosevelt，后就任美国第32任总统，美国历连任超过两届的总统）拒绝等待。他敢于挑战现状，呼吁采取行动。他呼吁人们停止继续抱有乐观的想法，面对现实、齐心协力，帮助自己摆脱困境。
He said: "The country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it and try another. But above all, try something."
他说：“这个国家需要一些大胆、持续的尝试。采取一种方法并加以尝试是再正常不过的事情。如果失败了，我们就承认失败，然后再试一次。但最重要的是，我们需要尝试一些东西。”
This was a speech to college students fearful about their future in an uncertain world. He said: "Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world."
这是一场对大学生的演讲，他们担心自己在一个不确定世界里的未来。他（罗斯福）说：“你们的任务不是在世界上开辟自己的道路，而是改造世界。”
The audacious empathy of young people, the spirit that says we should live not just for ourselves, but for our own. That's the way forward. From climate change to immigration, from criminal justice reform to economic opportunity, be motivated by your duty to build a better world. Young people have changed the course of history time and time again. And now it's time to change it once more.
年轻人无畏的同情心告诉我们，我们不仅要为努力生活，而且要为自己而活。这是一条前进的道路，从气候变化到移民、从刑事司法改革到经济机遇，我们都要以建设一个更美好世界的责任为动力。此前的年轻人一次又一次地改变了历史的进程，现在是时候再次改变了。
I know, I know the urgency of that truth is with you today. Feel big because no one can make you feel small. Feel brave because the challenges we face are great but you are greater. And feel grateful because someone sacrificed to make this moment possible for you. You have clear eyes and a long life to use them. And here in this stadium, I can feel your courage.
我知道，今天你们所接触到真相带来的紧迫性。大胆一些，因为没有人能让你感到弱小。勇敢一些，因为我们面临的挑战是巨大的，但你们将更加伟大。懂得感恩，因为已经有人为你们生活在的当下做出了牺牲，让这一刻成为可能。你们拥有一对清澈的眼睛，人生的道路也还很长。在这个体育场，我能感受到你们的勇气。
Call upon your grit. Try something. You may succeed. You may fail. But make it your life's work to remake the world because there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than working to leave something better for humanity.
呼唤你的勇气。尝试，你可能会成功，也可能会失败。但是，请让改造世界成为你自己的人生工作，因为没有什么比为人类留下更好的东西更具价值。
Thank you very much, and congratulations class of 20xx!
非常感谢，祝贺20xx届的毕业生们！

Ladies and Gentlemen: My topic is Honesty. As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story. /chuzhong/chusan/ 65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure. In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth. He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome. When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error. Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character. Thank you.

as we know, you have to learn how to fly much more independently instead of under your parents’ considerate protection when you get into college, which also means you will come across enormous questions that should be solved by yourself. from my point of view, those main problems can fall into three parts.
first of all, the complicated relationship. for one thing, you have to know how cultural differences function in your relationship and respect them. in addition, college students spend less time studying together owing to different courses’ choosing, which requires us to devote more energy to building relationship. for the other thing, it is also vital to communicate with your parents often by using mobile phones or other tools.

We all have a common home. she provides us with enough food, enough water and enough living room.We get everything from the nature to live better, but we donnot do anything to protect her. how the air is polluted;the earth is poisoned; water is unsafe to drink and rubbish is burying the civilization that man owns.
Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts can prevent. time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry.So many trees will be cut down, and more large cities will be set up. lots of waste material, in return,is produced and harms the environment.so some experts declare that the balance of nature is being upset,so that the very survival of man is in danger.
How can we solve this problem?the answer is that we must control the speed of growing people,forbid everyone to cut down trees and pour waste water into rivers and so on.
If we achieve this, the environment will turn very clean,and our future will be full of happiness.

My mother has very long hair, and wears a pair of small glasses, neverloves wearing fashionable clothes, but loves reading modern books. She isknowledgable and loves writing.
I think her working is often exactly alike my father--investment, tireless,efficient,and pursuit of perfection.
She loves to be angry and excited very much; be silence and talkative aswell. In short, there have "four seasons" of different moods in a day.
My mother always loves to say “case by case”. Whatever I do, rightness orwrong, she loves me. That's true, such as when I examined well, she neverpraised, but let me try hard again; when not well, she was not angry (sometimesexceptions, but very few), but let me do better!
I have such a good mother, I’m very happy! May mother happy every day!Maymother young forever! Thank you!
我的妈妈长着长长的头发，戴着一副小眼镜，从不爱穿时髦的衣服，但爱看时髦的书。知识丰富，喜爱写作。
我觉得她做事、干活都和爸爸一模一样——投入、不知疲倦、高效、追求完美。
她很爱生气，又很爱兴奋;既爱沉默，又很健谈。总之，一天就有情绪“四季”。
我妈妈总是爱说“就事论事”，不管我做得对与错，她都爱我。的确这样，比如我考试好了，她不表扬，却让我再努力;考不好，她也不生气(有时例外，但很少)，而是帮助我做得更好!
我有这样一个好妈妈，可真幸福啊!祝妈妈天天开心，永远年轻!
谢谢大家!

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.

The electric door guard has replaced the traditional "door lady" in a dormitory at Shanghai Songjiang University City, within the range of many universities.
In the future, more electric door guards will take the place of "door ladies."
The electric door guard operates under an IC card system, with students using IC cards to enter. Each resident student is issued an IC card with his/her personal information stored on it. Information like the card-holding student's name, major, grade, and even time of entry will be stored on their IC card. The door has also been equipped with a "digital eye" to take video 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
With the new "door guard" already on duty, students began to discuss the pros and cons of the latest renovation to their dorm in community forums.
Some complained that having to take their IC card everywhere is inconvenient, adding that the system is not always reliable. They noted times when the system failed to recognize them and they had to call repair workers to fix it.
Others say the former "door lady" was more flexible and gave them a sense of "home." Sometimes when a student had to stay out late, to study or for other business, the door lady would wait for them and let them in if they told her beforehand. Or when students' parents came to visit, the door lady would let them in. But now, all of these conveniences seem impossible.
Still, students admit that the electric door guard is much safer, as it prevents thieves as well as unwelcome salesmen from entering their dorm. In this way, the electric door guard has its own advantages.
