第一篇：英语课前口语3分钟
The ideas people have about me
Everyone to the people around him，will have different views about him.Even if I just pass a stranger, at a store or our library, I'll have a idea about him.Maybe, he looks so smart or looks so handsome.Just like this, everyone around me also have some ideas about me.But, these are not in the know, it’s just a simple first impression.Everyone to some of your idea, need to contact with you, Only in these way, can they have more accurate understanding about you.Actually, I have no idea what people think of me right now.I have no idea what my mom think of me, I have no idea what my teacher think of me, also, I have no idea what my roommate think of me.Once upon a time, my friends say that I'm a elusive person, sometimes I will be good ,I will do something you want for you, that time , you will think I’m your best friend in the world.But sometimes I would not pay attention to you, no matter what you are talking about or what you are suffering.Well, Indeed, I don't like this view, because a lot of things I can only to bear by myself, a lot of people can’t understand something what I have done.They need the reason I give.Because of this, they can judge me only according to their own ideas and what they have seen or what they have heard.When I'm in love, I don’t like to quarrel with my girlfriend, but we always do, at that time she will say to others ,speak ill of me.With a kind of subjective emotion.So, many people will think I'm a bad boy.Or I’m a bad man.But actually, I don't like to with her friend who has been told, because there is no need to explain what.They don’t know what really happen between us.To sum up, I gonna say, Maybe Yesterday you thought you have had a wrong impression on me, today you would wrong again, I will see you tomorrow would be wrong the third time.I mean, don’t judge your friend just by what you seen or what you heard.I don't care what people how to see me in my age, because I do a belief ,one day, they will understand me, no matter what I have done.If you are my friends, you will know that.That’s all, thank you for your listening!

第三篇：课前三分钟口语训练材料
作文材料运用范例
1、阿拉伯国家有位作家名叫阿里，有一次他和吉伯、马沙两位朋友一起旅行。三人经过一处山谷时，马沙不小心，失足滑落下来。幸亏吉伯拼命拉他，才将他救起。马沙于是在附近的大石头上刻下了：“某年某月某日，吉伯救了马沙一命。”三人继续走了几天，来到一条小河边，吉伯跟马沙为了一件小事吵起来。吉伯一气之下打了马沙一耳光。马沙跑到沙滩上写下：“某年某月某日，吉伯打了马沙一耳光。”当他们旅游回来后，阿里好奇地问马沙：“为什么要把吉伯救你的事刻在石头上，而将吉伯打你的事却写在沙子上？马沙回答：”我永远都感激吉伯救我。至于他打我的事，我会随着沙滩上字迹的消失，而忘得一干二净。“ 温馨提示：记住别人对我们的帮助、支持和恩惠，忘记我们对别人的怨恨、不满和挑剔吧！这样在人生的旅程中你才能更自由、幸福和快乐。
2、古希腊著名演说家戴摩西尼年轻的时候为了提高自己的演说能力，躲在一个地下室练习口才。由于耐不住寂寞，他时不时就想出去溜达溜达，心总是静不下来，练习的效果很差。无奈之下，他横下心，挥动剪刀把自己的头发剪去一半，变成了一个怪模怪样的“阴阳头”。这样一来，因为头发羞于见人，他只得彻底打消了出去玩的念头，一心一意地练口才，演讲水平突飞猛进。正是凭着这种专心执着的精神，戴摩西尼最终成为了世界闻名的大演说家。
温馨提示：一个人要想干好一件事情，成就一番事业，就必须心无旁骛、全神贯注地追逐既定的目标。在漫漫人生路上，当我们难以驾驭自己的惰性和欲望，不能专心致志地前行时，不妨斩断退路，逼着自己全力以赴地寻找出路，因为只有不留下退路，才更容易赢得出路，最终走向成功。
3、春秋战国时代，一位父亲和他的儿子出征打战。父亲已做了将军，儿子还只是马前卒。又一阵号角吹响，战鼓雷鸣了，父亲庄严地托起一个箭囊，其中插着
一只箭。父亲郑重对儿子说：“这是家袭宝箭，配带身边，力量无穷，但千万不可抽出来。”
那是一个极其精美的箭囊，厚牛皮打制，镶着幽幽泛光的铜边儿，再看露出的箭尾。一眼便能认定用上等的孔雀羽毛制作。儿子喜上眉梢，贪婪地推想箭杆、箭头的模样，耳旁仿佛嗖嗖地箭声掠过，敌方的主帅应声折马而毙。果然，配带宝箭的儿子英勇非凡，所向披靡。当鸣金收兵的号角吹响时，儿子再也禁不住得胜的豪气，完全背弃了父亲的叮嘱，强烈的欲望驱赶着他呼一声就拔出宝箭，试图看个究竟。骤然间他惊呆了。一只断箭，箭囊里装着一只折断的箭。我一直刳着只断箭打仗呢！儿子吓出了一身冷汗，仿佛顷刻间失去支柱的房子，轰然意志坍塌了。结果不言自明，儿子惨死于乱军之中。拂开蒙蒙的硝烟，父亲拣起那柄断箭，沉重地啐一口道：“不相信自己的意志，永远也做不成将军。”把胜败寄托在一只宝箭上，多么愚蠢，而当一个人把生命的核心与把柄交给别人，又多么危险！比如把希望寄托在儿女身上；把幸福寄托在丈夫身上；把生活保障寄托在单位身上„„
温馨提示：不相信自己的意志，永远也做不成将军。自己才是一只箭，若要它坚韧，若要它锋利，若要它百步穿杨，百发百中，磨砺它，拯救它的都只能是自己。
4、曾经有个小国的人到中国来，进贡了三个一模一样的金人，金碧辉煌，把皇帝高兴坏了。可是这小国的人不厚道，同时出一道题目：这三个金人哪个最有价值？皇帝想了许多的办法，请来珠宝匠检查，称重量，看做工，都是一模一样的。怎么办？使者还等着回去汇报呢。泱泱大国，不会连这个小事都不懂吧？最后，有一位退位的老大臣说他有办法。皇帝将使者请到大殿，老臣胸有成足地拿着三根稻草，插入第一个金人的耳朵里，这稻草从另一边耳朵出来了。第二个金人的稻草从嘴巴里直接掉出来，而第三个金人，稻草进去后掉进了肚子，什么响动也没有。老臣说：第三个金人最有价值！使者默默无语，答案正确。
温馨提示：最有价值的人，不一定是最能说的人。老天给我们两只耳朵一个嘴巴，本来就是让我们多听少说的。多听会听，善于倾听，才是成熟的人最基本的素质。
5、哲学家在草地上给弟子上最后一课，问：“ 如何除掉这些杂草？” 弟子甲说：“ 用铲子铲。” 乙说：“用火烧。”丙说：“撒上石灰。”丁说：“连根拔去。”哲学家说：“都试一下。如果没有除掉，一年后再来此相会。” 一年后，都来了，哲学家未来。但他的弟子看到满地茂盛的庄稼而无一根杂草，终于悟到了一个真理：欲无杂草，必须种上庄稼。
温馨提示：欲无必有，欲有必无。那么，要想心中留有真善美，必须远离假恶丑。这就必须经过选择、鉴别和心灵的“巷战”，才会让一个退出，另一个占据。要使一个人没有贪心，就必须用良心占据他的心灵；要使一个人没有虚荣，就必须以真诚占据他的心灵；要使一个人没有怨恨，就必须以宽容占据他的心灵；要使一个人不再麻木，就必须以清醒占据他的头脑；要使一个人不再冷漠，就必须以爱心充斥自己的心灵等，人生的路上要善于取舍。
6、南极企鹅是一种憨态可掬的小动物，可以在水中游嬉，也能在陆地上行走。然而，南极大陆上的水陆交接处，全是滑溜溜的冰层，或者尖锐的冰棱（léng），他们身躯笨重，没有可以用来攀爬的前臂，也没有可以用来飞翔的翅膀，他们是如何从水爬上岸来的呢？原来将要上岸的时候，企鹅猛地低头，从海面扎入海中，拼力沉潜。潜得越深，海水所产生的压力和浮力也越大，企鹅一直潜到恰当的深度，在摆动双足，迅猛向上，又如离弦之箭窜出水面，腾空而起，落于陆地之上，划出一道完美的 U 型线。
温馨提示：从企鹅上岸的方法看，是先退后进，为了进而先选择退，我们可以得到这样的哲理：适当的后退是为了更好的前进；从另一个角度看，企鹅没有 3
一般动物的攀爬能力，却知道寻找自己独特的方法来上岸，我们可以得到这样的哲理：方法总比困难更多。
7、萤火虫是肉食小甲虫，它的食物是蜗牛。蜗牛一旦有什么危险，就把头缩进硬壳里，很多天敌拿它无可奈何。小巧、柔弱和笨拙的萤火虫如何对付它呢？萤火虫的头顶有一对颚，那东西细得像头发，很尖利。萤火虫捉蜗牛时，先用颚在蜗牛身上轻轻敲打，而蜗牛根本不把萤火虫放在眼里，甚至觉得被敲打几下如同按摩一样很舒服。萤火虫的敲打，是向它注射一种毒液。蜗牛在毫无警觉中被麻痹，直到失去知觉。当蜗牛被毒倒后，萤火虫再注射另一种液体，使蜗牛的肉变成流质，然后用管状的嘴喝掉。
温馨提示：从蜗牛的角度看，这则材料告诉我们：过于麻痹贪图舒适往往会带来灭亡；从萤火虫的角度看，我们可以知道：充分运用智慧，就可以改变自己原有的劣势，由弱小变为强大。
8、有一个孩子，伸手到一个装满榛果的瓶子里去，他尽其所能地抓了一把榛果，当他想把手收回来时，手却被瓶口卡住了。他既不愿意放弃榛果，又不能把手缩回来，不禁伤心地哭了起来。一个旁边的人对他说： “ 你知足些吧！只拿一半，让你的拳头小一些，那么你的手就可以很容易地拿出来了。”
温馨提示：在生活中，有时候只有放弃才能得到，如果不明白二者的辩证关系，一味地想要获得，不想放弃，结果却什么也得不到。
9、在“文革”中，一位老音乐家被下放到农村为牲口铡了整整七年的草，等他平反回来，人们惊奇地发现他没有憔悴衰老。他笑道：“怎么会老呢?每天铡草我都是按4／4拍铡的。”而另一位音乐家——杰出的女钢琴家顾圣婴，在“文革”初期便自杀了。隐身在音乐的象牙之塔中，当风暴袭来，她心目中神圣美好的东西被践踏时，她选择了死亡来抗争。
温馨提示：从材料中我们可以发现：在“文革”，一位老音乐家在“被下放到农村为牲口铡了整整七年的草”平反回来，“他没有憔悴衰老，他笑„„”；而另一位音乐家则是因“心目中神圣美好的东西被践踏时，她选择了死亡来抗争”。很显然材料内容的范围是两位音乐家对待同一事物（“文革”）截然不同的态度，一是坦然面对苦中作乐，一是为维护理想尊严等以死抗争。我们可以选择其中一个侧面中的某一角度去展开也可从整体上去做辨证分析。也就是说可以就如何对待人生（生活）中的逆境挫折等展开论述，也可以就心态对人生的影响进行评说，也可以讲在逆境中我们要乐观面对但也要追求理想等等，但是分析时应有度，不能片面肯定一方而否定另一方。
10、有一个湖，叫天鹅湖，湖中有一个小岛，住着一个老渔翁和他的妻子。渔翁摇船捕鱼，妻子养鸡喂鸭，除了买些油盐，他们很少与外界往来。
有一年秋天，一群天鹅来到岛上，它们是从遥远的北方飞来，准备去南方过冬的。老夫妇看到这群远方来客，非常高兴，因为他们在这儿住了这么多年，还没有谁来拜访过。渔翁夫妇拿出喂鸡的饲料和打来的小鱼招待天鹅，渐渐地这群天鹅就和渔翁夫妇成了朋友。它们在岛上不仅敢大摇大摆地走来走去，而且在老渔翁捕鱼时，它们随船而行，嬉戏左右。
冬天来了，这群天鹅竟然没有继续往南飞，它们白天在湖上觅食，晚上在小岛上栖息。当湖面封冻，它们无法觅食的时候，老夫妇就敞开他们的茅屋让它们进屋取暖，并且给它们食物。这种关爱一直持续到春天来临，湖面解冻。日复一日，年复一年，每年冬天，老夫妇都这样奉献着他们的爱心。有一年，他们老了，离开了小岛，天鹅也从此消失了，不过它们不是飞向了南方，而是在第二年湖面封冻的时候冻死了。
温馨提示：有时候爱得多了也是一种伤害，并且致命。有一首诗;禾苗干涸了,需要浇水,但不能太多,水多了就会淹死；车胎瘪了,需要充气,但不能太足,充多了就会爆炸。生命很短暂,需要关爱,爱不能太多,爱得多了就成了伤害。
11、在加拿大的魁北克有一个南北走向的山谷，1983 年的冬天，有对夫妇来到这个山谷的时候，天下起了大雪。当他们支起帐篷，望着漫天飞舞的大雪时突然发现，由于特殊的风向，东坡的雪总比西坡的雪来得大，来得密，不一会儿，雪松上就落满了厚厚一层雪。不过，雪积到一定程度，雪松那富有生气的枝丫就会向下弯曲，直到雪从枝头滑落。这样反复地积，反复地落，雪松完好无损。可其它的树，如那些柘树，因没有这个本领，树枝压断了。西坡由于雪小，总有些树挺了过来，所以西坡除了雪松，还有柘树、女贞之类。帐篷中的妻子发现了这一景观，对丈夫说：“东边肯定也长过杂树，只是不会弯曲才被大雪摧毁了。” 温馨提示：生活中我们承受着来自各方面的压力，积累着终将让我们难以承受。这时候，我们需要象雪松那样弯下身来，释下重负，才能够重新挺立，避免压断的结局。弯曲，并不是低头或失败，而是一种弹性的生存方式，是一种生活的艺术。因此，对于外界的压力要尽可能地去承受，在承受不了的时候，要像雪松一样，学会弯曲，学会给自己减轻压力。
12、美国侵略越南战争结束后，一个美国士兵打完仗回到国内，在旧金山旅馆里，他的心情总是平静不下来，晚上怎么也睡不着，于是他给家里打了一个电话：“爸爸，妈妈，我要回家了，但我要你们帮个忙，我要带一位朋友一起回家。”“当然可以了！”父母回答道。“但是有件事情一定要告诉你们，我的朋友在那可恶的战争中踩响了一个地雷，少了一条腿和一只手，成了残疾人，我希望他能和我们住在一起。”“孩子，我们帮他另找一个地方住下，好吗？”“不，他只能和我们住在一起。”“孩子，你不知道，这样的话，他会给我们造成多大的拖累，你自己回家吧，相信他会有活路的„„”话还没说完，儿子就挂断了电话。父母在家等了很多天，也没见儿子回来。一个星期后，他们接到警局打来的电话，告诉他们，他们的儿子已经跳楼自杀了。悲痛万分的父母来到旧金山，在停尸房里，他们认出自己的儿子，然而他们却惊呆了，原来他们的儿子正是电话里所说的那 6
位朋友——少了一条腿和一只手！
温馨提示：在这个故事中，我们首先应该痛恨的是那场可恶的战争，是它使一个原本有着美好前途的青年葬送了最宝贵的手和腿！可是因为自私，青年的父母也付出了沉重的代价——失去了他们唯一的儿子。因为自私我们失去的不只是亲人，还有会失去朋友，失去信任，失去阳光与微笑，因此，自私的心往往会让自己付出沉痛的代价。
13、一个农场主在巡视谷仓时，不慎将一只名贵的金表遗失在谷仓里，他怎么也找不到，便在农场门口贴了一张告示，要人们帮忙，谁要找到就送他100美元。面对重赏的诱惑，人们无不卖力地四处翻找。无奈，仓内谷粒成山，还有那成捆的稻草。要想在其中寻找一块金表如同大海捞针。人们忙到太阳下山仍然没有找到金表。他们不是抱怨金表太小，就是抱怨谷仓太大、稻草太多。于是，他们一个个放弃了100美元的诱惑。只有一个穿着破衣服的小孩，在众人离开之后仍不死心，努力寻找。已整整一天没有吃饭了，但他仍希望在天黑之前找到金表，好解决一家人的吃饭困难。
天越来越黑，小孩在谷仓内依旧坚持寻找，突然，他发现白天一切的喧闹安静下来后，有一个奇怪声音“滴答、滴答”不停地响着。小孩顿时停止了寻找。这是谷仓内更加安静了，滴答声响更加清晰了。小孩寻声走过去，终于找到了金表，最终得到了100美元。
温馨提示：保持宁静的心灵，坚持到最后，才能找出那诱人的“金表”。小孩正是这样做的。成功的法则其实很简单，它叫执着。而成功者之所以少有，是因为大多数人认为，这个法则太简单了，不屑于去做，没有坚持，当然就没有成功。其实成功如同谷仓内的金表，早已存在于我们的周围，散布于人生的每个角落，只要执着地去寻找，专注而冷静地思考，我们就会听到那清晰的滴答声。
14、有一个青年人，他总是抱怨自己太穷了。“要是我能有一大笔财富，那该有多好啊！到那个时候，我的生活是多么的快乐呀！”他总是哼着这样的老调。有一天，一个老石匠从他家门口路过，听到这个年轻人的话，就问他：“你抱怨什么呀？其实你有最大的财富！” “我还有财富？”年轻人惊讶起来，“我有什么财富呀？”“你有一双眼睛！你只要拿出一双眼睛，就可以得到你想要的任何东西。”石匠说。“你说到哪里去了？”年轻人接着说，“无论你给我什么东西，什么宝贝，我都不会拿眼睛去换的！”“那好吧”石匠说，“那就让我砍掉你的一双手吧，你可以拿这双手去换许多黄金！”
“不行！我不会拿自己的手去换黄金的！”年轻人说。
“现在你知道了吧，你是很富有的。”老石匠说，“那么你还抱怨什么讷？相信我吧，年轻人，一个人最大的财富就是他的健康和精力，这是无论用多少钱都买不来的。”
温馨提示：健康是自然所能给我们准备的最公平最珍贵的礼物。良好的健康状况和由之而来的愉快情绪，是幸福的最好资金。失去了健康，你所拥有的一切就不过是水中月镜中花，终会随风而逝！听了老石匠的话，年轻人不会再抱怨了，他一定会用自己明亮的眼睛，勤劳的双手创造巨大的财富。 15、1858年，瑞典的一个富豪人家生下了一个女儿。然而不久，孩子染上了一种无法解释的瘫痪症，丧失了走路的能力。一次，女孩和家人一起乘船旅行。船长的太太给孩子讲船长有一只天堂鸟，她被船长太太描述的这只鸟迷住了，极想亲自看一看。于是保姆把孩子留在甲板上，自己去找船长。孩子耐不住性子等待，她要求船上的服务生立即带她去看天堂鸟。那服务生并不知道她的腿不能走路，而只顾带着她一道去看那只美丽的小鸟。奇迹发生了，孩子因为过度地渴望，竟忘我地拉住服务生的手，慢慢地走了起来。从此，孩子的病便痊愈了。女孩子长大后，又忘我地投入到文学创作中，最后成为第一位荣获诺贝尔文学奖的女性，也就是茜尔玛•拉格萝芙。
温馨提示：不要把自己当做老鼠，否则肯定被猫吃。忘我是走向成功的一条捷径，只有在这种环境中，人才会超越自身的束缚，释放出最大的能量。当我们谴责自己庸碌无为时，把自己丢弃在喋喋不休的埋怨声中时，我们是否检查过属于自己的心灵深处的那方净土,是否被别人所践踏！我们对待一切是全力以赴,还是漫不经心?拥有执著和超强的行动力吧，就算是一片落叶,也可能倾倒整个季节!
16、一群学生在到处寻找快乐，却遇到许多烦恼、忧愁和痛苦。他们向大哲学家苏格拉底请教：”老师，快乐到底在哪里？“苏格拉底说：”你们还是先帮我造一条船吧！“这群学生暂时把寻找快乐的事儿放在一边，找来造船的工具，用了七七四十九天，锯倒了一棵又高又大的树，挖空树心，造出一条独木船。独木船下水了，他们把苏格拉底请上船，一边合力划桨，一边齐声唱起歌来。苏格拉底问：”孩子们，你们快乐吗？“他们齐声回答：”快乐极了！“ 温馨提示：快乐是什么？快乐是一种心理感受。是否快乐完全由你自己决定。快乐往往在你为了一个明确目的忙得无暇顾及其它的时候突然来访。有时候快乐就像在天上飞的风筝一样，虽然你偶尔会看不见它，但线总在你手中，它不会飞远，只要你愿意，快乐就会随时围绕着你，直到永远。拥有了一颗快乐的心，你就知道，快乐是无处不在的。所以，要相信快乐在生活中的每一件小事中隐藏，认真热情地去做每一件事，快乐就会来找你！
拥抱快乐吧，因为懂得快乐、善于快乐实在是一种智慧、一种气度、一种气魄。
17、有个班级获得了校运会“道德风尚奖”，有人向校长提出疑惑：在整个竞赛过程中，并没有发现这个班的道德风尚比其他班级高在何处。校长笑着说：你忽略了一个细节——在大家都为自己班的运动员取得好成绩欢呼雀跃时，惟有这个班的同学在为自己喝彩的同时，也不忘为别人喝彩。
温馨提示：为别人喝彩是一种智慧，因为你在欣赏别人的时候，也在不断地提升和完善自我；为别人喝彩是一种美德，付出了赞美，这不但不会损伤你的自 9
尊，相反还将收获友谊与合作；为别人喝彩是一种人格修养，赞赏别人的过程，其实也是矫正自己的狭隘自私和妒忌心理，从而培养大家风范的过程。人生路上，让我们在为自己喝彩的同时，也学会为别人喝彩吧！
18、一位烦恼的妇人来找我，说她正为孩子的功课烦恼。我说：“孩子的功课应该由孩子自己烦恼才对呀？”她说：“林先生，你不知道，我的孩子考试考第四十名，可是他们班上只有四十个学生。”我开玩笑地说：“如果我是你，我一定会很高兴。”“为什么呢？”“因为你想想看，从今天开始，你的孩子不会再退步了，他绝对不会落到第四十一名呀！”我说。妇人听了展颜而笑。我继续说：“这就好像爬山一样，你的孩子现在是山谷底部的人，惟一的路就是往上走，只要你停止烦恼，鼓励他，陪他一起走，他一定会走出来。”过了不久，妇人打电话给我，向我道谢，她的孩子果然成绩不断往上升。
温馨提示：最容易被人忽略的是，山谷的最低点正是山的起点，许多走进山谷的人所以走不出来，正是他们停住双脚，蹲在山谷烦恼哭泣的缘故。
19、有一个人在拥挤的车潮中驾车缓缓前进，在等红灯时，一个衣服褴褛的小男孩，敲着车窗问他要不要买花，他拿出2美金，由于绿灯已亮，而后面的人正猛按喇叭催着，因此他粗暴的对正问他要什么花的男孩说：“什么颜色都可以，你只要快一点就好。”
那男孩十分礼貌的说：“谢谢你，先生。”
在开了一小段路后，他有些良心不安，他粗暴无礼的态度，却得到对方如此有礼的回应，他把车停在路边，回头走向孩子表示歉意，并且又再给了2美金，要他自己买一束花送给喜欢的人，这个孩子笑了笑并道谢接受。
当他回去发动车子时，发现车子故障了，动也动不了，在一阵忙乱后，他决定步行找拖吊车帮忙，正在思索时，一辆拖吊车已经迎面驶来，他大为惊讶，司机笑着对他说，有一个小孩给了我4美金，要我开过来帮你，并且还写了一张纸条，他打开一看，上面写着：“这代表一束花”。
温馨提示：你的一份善意往往能得到立即的回报，而内心的释怀正是最好的 10
报答。 20、1858年，瑞典的一个富豪人家生下了一个女儿。然而不久，孩子染上了一种无法解释的瘫痪症，丧失了走路的能力。一次，女孩和家人一起乘船旅行。船长的太太给孩子讲船长有一只天堂鸟，她被船长太太描述的这只鸟迷住了，极想亲自看一看。于是保姆把孩子留在甲板上，自己去找船长。孩子耐不住性子等待，她要求船上的服务生立即带她去看天堂鸟。那服务生并不知道她的腿不能走路，而只顾带着她一道去看那只美丽的小鸟。奇迹发生了，孩子因为过度地渴望，竟忘我地拉住服务生的手，慢慢地走了起来。从此，孩子的病便痊愈了。女孩子长大后，又忘我地投入到文学创作中，最后成为第一位荣获诺贝尔文学奖的女性，也就是茜尔玛•拉格萝芙。

23、记得在做生物实验时,把一只青蛙放在装有沸水的杯子时, 青蛙马上跳出来,但把一只青蛙放在另一个温水的杯子中,并慢慢加热至沸腾,青蛙刚开始时会很舒适地在杯中游来游去,直到它发现太热时,已失去力量跳不出来了。
1 大环境的改变能决定你的成功与失败。大环境的改变有时是看不到的，我们必须时时注意，多学习，多警醒，并欢迎改变，才不至于太迟。
2 太舒适的大环境就是最危险的时刻。很习惯的生活方式，也许就是你最危险的生活方式。不断创新，打破旧有的模式，而且相信任何事物都有再改善的地方。
3 要能觉察到趋势的小改变，就必须”停下来“由不同角度来思考，而学习，是能发现改变的最佳途径。
24、一座庙里的石地板，对香客膜拜、香火不断的石佛像愤愤不平：“你我同是石头，来自同一座山，为什么你能高高在上，享受千人朝拜，万人供奉？”佛像略一沉思后微笑道：“贤弟，世间事大体是公平的，你我的确材料相同，来自同一座山，但在你出山前，师傅只是嚓、嚓几下子，把你劈的方方正正着着送出山。12
在你走后的三年里，师傅对我砍呀、凿呀、刻呀、磨呀，从未间断，我才成了今天的样子。既然出山前我们的历炼不同，今天的际遇又有什么不公平的呢？” 构思点拨： 1)生活对人们是公平的：你付出了劳动，就会得到收获；你待人宽厚，就会被人宽容；你性情懒散，就会事无所成。
2)生活待人又是不公平的：有时我们明明付出了很多努力，却没有达到理想的目标；我们明明真心待人，得到的却是冷漠与刻薄。在生活的不公面前，我们该怎么办？是否真的有命运的存在？
3)可以用具体的叙事来表现”公平“的主题：如母亲重男轻女，对我和弟弟不平等对待；老师有偏向，对优生和差生不公平对待，等等。
4)可以幻想一个”公平国“，那里人人都是平等的，东西都是平分的，一丝一毫都不差。人们都有公平的意识，只要有一点不公，人们便扭打上公堂，于是衙门便成了肥差，人们便整天生活在为”公平"而战之中„„
5)公平是相对的，没有绝对的公平，所以我们要用辩证的眼光来看待公平问题，不能把它绝对化。
25、一个农民曾经向一位教授这样问道：“先生，一个聋哑人曾到五金商店去买钉子。他先把左手中的两个手指放在柜台上，然后用右手做钉锤的样子。服务员拿出一把锤，他摇了摇头，并用右手指了指放在柜台上的两个手指。服务员拿给他钉子，他点了点头。这时候，恰巧有个盲人进来。先生，请你想象一下，他将如何买到一把剪子？”
“噢，很简单，只要伸出两个指头，模仿剪子剪布的模样就可以了。”教授从容地回答。
其实，瞎子是会说话的。
提示：教授的失误源于过分的沿袭定势思维，而没有全面客观的分析面对的问题。生活中，很多时候我们自以为处理事情的态度和方法很正确，却往往忽略了全面客观地面对事情，所以，遇到事情不妨先冷静思考，不要急于表态，不要急于行动，冷静下来，你会发现有些事情其实是很简单的。
26、农夫汤姆养了一群羊。放牧时，他总是放声高唱：“我雪白的羊群啊，多么可爱„„”可是有件事让他感到有些遗憾——他的羊群里还有一只黑羊。汤姆盘算着要卖掉黑羊：“这样我的羊群里就都是可爱的白羊了。”冬天到了。一天，在一场暴风雪中，汤姆与羊群走散了。当暴风雪停息的时候，漫山遍野银装素裹，汤姆四处寻找，哪里还有羊群的影子？这时，汤姆看到远处有一个晃动的小黑点，跑过去，果然是那只黑羊！其他的白羊也在那里。汤姆高兴地抱起那只立功的黑羊：“多亏有了你！”春天，汤姆的羊群里又多了几只小黑羊，他的歌声依旧嘹亮：“我的羊群啊，多么可爱„„”
立意一：可以抓住材料中“可爱”一词，探究什么才是真正的美。立意二：从汤姆的角度看，不要以貌取人，真才实学才是选拔人才的关键；当然，汤姆能够迅速转换评价的标准，也是值得肯定的。
立意三：从黑羊的角度看，要相信真金不怕火炼，相信一定会有一场暴风雨来证实你的坚持和努力。
立意四：世间万物都各有所长，所以不要忽略了生活中不起眼甚至碍眼的事物，也许有一天你就会发现他们的重要。
27、一阵风吹来，一片叶子脱离树枝，飞向了天空。“我会飞了，我会飞了。”叶子边飞边喊，“我要飞上天了！”
叶子飞呀飞，飞过了一棵棵树，飞过了一只只栖息在电线上的鸟。“哈哈，我飞得比你们高。”叶子得意洋洋地对鸟儿说。
又一阵风吹过，叶子在天空中打了几个转，被吹落到一个小水坑里，随即被路过的一头牛踩进了淤泥里，不见了踪影。
提示：郑板桥曾说：“滴自己的汗，吃自己的饭，自已的事情自己干，靠人靠天靠祖宗，不算是好汉。”可是，世上还有这样一种人，总是存在极强的依靠心理：依靠拐杖走路，尤其是依靠别人的拐杖走路。其实，有这种想法的是极不理智的，因为一个人最实在的靠山应该是自己。
人们经常以为他们永远会从别人不断的帮助中获益。然而力量是自发的，不 14
能依赖于他人。如果你坐在健身房里让别人替你练习，就无法增强自己肌肉的力量。没有什么比依靠他人更能破坏独立自主的了。如果你依赖他人，你将永远坚强不起来，也不会有独创力。
爱默生说：“坐在舒适软垫上的人容易打瞌睡。”依靠他人，觉得总会有人为我们做任何事，所以不必努力，这种想法对自助自立自强是致命的障碍！我们从没听说某个习惯等候帮助、等着别人拉扯一把、等着别人的钱财或是等着运气降临的人能够真正成就大事。只有抛弃身边的每根拐杖，破釜沉舟，依靠自己，才能赢得最后的胜利。
当你不再需要别人的援助自强自立之时，你就踏上了成功之路。一旦抛弃所有外来的帮助，你就会发挥出过去从未意识到的力量。
28、三个旅行者结伴去一个小庙投宿，半路上被一块巨大的石头挡住，爬上去和绕过去都是不可能的。天色已晚，在这荒无人烟的地方再找别处投宿也不可能了。三个人正发着愁，走出一个和尚，背着一个大搭裢，手捧一只破钵，口里念念有词：“此路由我开，此路由我踩，要想越过去，留下买路财。施主，想过去吗？每人留下100文钱，自然就有办法让你们过去。”第一个人毫不犹豫拿出100文钱，另外两个人则讨价还价。
和尚把破钵往大石上一扣，石块没了，第一个人过去了。和尚把破钵(bō)拿起，大石岿(kuī)然如故。第二人不再犹豫，拿出100文也要过去。和尚说：“现在涨到200文！”那人只好给了200文，也过去了。
见此情景，第三个慌忙拿出200文。和尚说：“不行，现在涨到300文了！”那人纳闷，问“这是何缘故？”和尚说：“回避困难的时间愈长，付出的利息自然就愈多。”
提示：不要回避困难。那种希望困难自己会溜走和回避困难就以为困难不复存在的想法和做法都是不可取的。因为只有你自己承认有什么问题迫在眉睫，你才能动员你内在的巨大的防御力量。所以应该睁大眼睛瞪着困难，衡量困难的大小，对它进行分析。那时，你就会觉得，困难并不如它的外表看起来那样可怕。15
千万不要回避困难，因为回避了它，也回避了成功。
29、相信自己是一只雄鹰
一个人在高山之巅的鹰巢里，抓到了一只幼鹰，他把幼鹰带回家，养在鸡笼里。这只幼鹰和鸡一起啄食嬉闹和休息。它以为自己是一只鸡。
这只鹰渐渐长大，羽翼丰满了，主人想把它训练成猎鹰，可是由于终日和鸡混在一起，它已经变得和鸡完全一样，根本没有飞的愿望了。
主人试了各种办法，都毫无效果，最后把它带到山顶上，一把将它扔了出去。这只鹰像块石头似的，直掉下去，慌乱之中它拼命地扑打翅膀，就这样，它终于飞了起来！
秘诀１：磨练召唤成功的力量。30、五枚金币
有个叫阿巴格的人生活在内蒙古草原上。有一次，年少的阿巴格和他爸爸在草原上迷了路，阿巴格又累又怕，到最后快走不动了。爸爸就从兜里掏出５枚硬币，把一枚硬币埋在草地里，把其余４枚放在阿巴格的手上，说：“人生有５枚金币，童年、少年、青年、中年、老年各有一枚，你现在才用了一枚，就是埋在草地里的那一枚，你不能把５枚都扔在草原里，你要一点点地用，每一次都用出不同来，这样才不枉人生一世。今天我们一定要走出草原，你将来也一定要走出草原。世界很大，人活着，就要多走些地方，多看看，不要让你的金币没有用就扔掉。”在父亲的鼓励下，那天阿巴格走出了草原。长大后，阿巴格离开了家乡，成了一名优秀的船长。
秘诀２：珍惜生命，就能走出挫折的沼泽地。▲ 扫阳光 ▲
有兄弟二人，年龄不过四、五岁，由于卧室的窗户整天都是密闭着，他们认为屋内太阴暗，看见外面灿烂的阳光，觉得十分羡慕。兄弟俩就商量说：“我们可以一起把外面的阳光扫一点进来。”于是，兄弟两人拿着扫帚和畚箕，到阳台上去扫阳光。
等到他们把畚箕搬到房间里的时候，里面的阳光就没有了。这样一而再再而三地扫了许多次，屋内还是一点阳光都没有。正在厨房忙碌的妈妈看见他们奇怪的举动，问道：“你们在做什么？”他们回答说：“房间太暗了，我们要扫点阳光进来。”妈妈笑道：“只要把窗户打开，阳光自然会进来，何必去扫呢？” 秘诀３：把封闭的心门敞开，成功的阳光就能驱散失败的阴暗。▲ 一只蜘蛛和三个人▲
雨后，一只蜘蛛艰难地向墙上已经支离破碎的网爬去，由于墙壁潮湿，它爬到一定的高度，就会掉下来，它一次次地向上爬，一次次地又掉下来„„ 第一个人看到了，他叹了一口气，自言自语：“我的一生不正如这只蜘蛛吗？忙忙碌碌而无所得。”于是，他日渐消沉。
第二个人看到了，他说：这只蜘蛛真愚蠢，为什么不从旁边干燥的地方绕一下爬上去？我以后可不能像它那样愚蠢。于是，他变得聪明起来。
第三个人看到了，他立刻被蜘蛛屡败屡战的精神感动了。于是，他变得坚强起来。秘诀４：有成功心态者处处都能发觉成功的力量。▲ 自己救自己 ▲
某人在屋檐下躲雨，看见观音正撑伞走过。这人说：“观音菩萨，普度一下众生吧，带我一段如何？” 观音说：“我在雨里，你在檐下，而檐下无雨，你不需要我度。”这人立刻跳出檐下，站在雨中：“现在我也在雨中了，该度我了吧？”观音说：“你在雨中，我也在雨中，我不被淋，因为有伞；你被雨淋，因为无伞。所以不是我度自己，而是伞度我。你要想度，不必找我，请自找伞去！”说完便走了。
第二天，这人遇到了难事，便去寺庙里求观音。走进庙里，才发现观音的像前也有一个人在拜，那个人长得和观音一模一样，丝毫不差。这人问：“你是观音吗？” 那人答道：“我正是观音。” 这人又问：“那你为何还拜自己？”
观音笑道：“我也遇到了难事，但我知道，求人不如求己。” 秘诀５：成功者自救。▲ 让失去变得可爱 ▲
一个老人在高速行驶的火车上，不小心把刚买的新鞋从窗口掉了一只，周围的人倍感惋惜，不料老人立即把第二只鞋也从窗口扔了下去。这举动更让人大吃一惊。老人解释说：“这一只鞋无论多么昂贵，对我而言已经没有用了，如果有谁能捡到一双鞋子，说不定他还能穿呢！”
秘诀６：成功者善于放弃，善于从损失中看到价值。▲ 请不要开错窗 ▲
一个小女孩趴在窗台上，看窗外的人正埋葬她心爱的小狗，不禁泪流满面，悲恸不已。她的外祖父见状，连忙引她到另一个窗口，让她欣赏他的玫瑰花园。果然小女孩的心情顿时明朗。老人托起外孙女的下巴说：“孩子，你开错了窗户。” 秘诀７：打开失败旁边的窗户，也许你就看到了希望。▲ 人生的秘诀 ▲
３０年前，一个年轻人离开故乡，开始创造自己的前途。他动身的第一站，是去拜访本族的族长，请求指点。老族长正在练字，他听说本族有位后辈开始踏上人生的旅途，就写了３个字：不要怕。然后抬起头来，望着年轻人说：“孩子，人生的秘诀只有６个字，今天先告诉你３个，供你半生受用。”
３０年后，这个从前的年轻人已是人到中年，有了一些成就，也添了很多伤心事。归程漫漫，到了家乡，他又去拜访那位族长。他到了族长家里，才知道老人家几年前已经去世，家人取出一个密封的信封对他说：
“这是族长生前留给你的，他说有一天你会再来。”还乡的游子这才想起来，３０年前他在这里听到人生的一半秘诀，拆开信封，里面赫然又是３个大字：不要悔。
秘诀８：中年以前不要怕，中年以后不要悔。▲ 司机考试 ▲
某大公司准备以高薪雇用一名小车司机，经过层层筛选和考试之后，只剩下三名技术最优良的竞争者。主考者问他们：“悬崖边有块金子，你们开着车去拿，觉得能距离悬崖多近而又不至于掉落呢？” “二公尺。”第一位说。
“半公尺。”第二位很有把握地说。
“我会尽量远离悬崖，愈远愈好。”第三位说。结果这家公司录取了第三位。
秘诀９：不要和诱惑较劲，而应离得越远越好。▲ 狮子和羚羊的家教 ▲
每天，当太阳升起来的时候，非洲大草原上的动物们就开始奔跑了。
狮子妈妈在教育自己的孩子：“孩子，你必须跑得再快一点，再快一点，你要是跑不过最慢的羚羊，你就会活活地饿死。”
在另外一个场地上，羚羊妈妈也在教育自己的孩子：“孩子，你必须跑得再快一点，再快一点，如果你不能比跑得最快的狮子还要快，那你就肯定会被他们吃掉。”
秘诀１０：记住你跑得快，别人跑得更快。

Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don't think so.I believe success is the realization of people's hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful.And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life.So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose.But the problem is wether it is real success.We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us.If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people' hopes and ideals.Different people have different ideas about success;cause people's hopes and ideas vary from one another.But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility.These are the best treasures.So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you.It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do.But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future.So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life!Wish you all good success!

1、I believe in our future
Honorable Judges, fellow students:
Good afternoon!
Recently, there is a heated debate in our society.The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places.But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?
The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort.But the cynics are wrong.The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently.We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades;and we neglect the need for character cultivation.But again, the cynics are wrong.We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth.Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives.We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country.I believe in all my fellow classmates.Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish.I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities.We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place.I believe in our future.1、我对未来充满信心
尊敬的评委，各位同学：
下午好！
最近，社会上有一场很激烈的争论。大学生是一种稀有特权的享有者，在很棒的地方接受高等教育。但是，我们能面对挑战而无所畏惧吗？我们能够改善他人的生活吗？我们能够承担建设祖国未来的重任吗？
怀疑论者说大学生是被宠坏的一代，一丁点挫折都受不了。但是他们错了，我所看到的大学生正在努力的学习独立生活。我们互相帮助打扫卫生，一起上街砍价购物，一起参加兼职工作来赚零花钱。
怀疑论者说我们除了成绩什么都不关心，从而忽略了性格的培养。但是，他们又错了。我们彼此关心，我们向往自由，我们珍惜公正，我们追求真理。上个星期，很多我的同学去验血，为了给患血癌的孩子贡献自己的力量。
作为大学生，我们是处在人生分水岭的青年。我们都面临一个重要的选择：怀疑人生还是相信自己，每一种都会给我们的人生带来重大的影响，甚至影响我们祖国的未来。我相信我们的同学们，虽然我们依然缺乏经验，甚至有些志气，但是我相信我们有勇气和自信来面对生活的挑战并承担我们的责任。我们正努力准备接受新的任务，用我们所学习的知识将世界变得更美好。我对我们的未来充满信心。
2、Change The Ingredients Of Your Life
This is a glass of water, tasteless, right? However if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter.The same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by our choices.If kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy.If love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.So my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing.If don‘t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients.Three year ago, I weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life.Like always failing my P.E examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public.It was my grandmother‘s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself.She said ― My dear, if you can‘t change you figure，why not treat it as your own style.So I began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking.By choosing to change my outlook on life, I developed the confidence to make a difference and finally I found a totally new world.So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges.And hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.2、改变生活的味道
这是一杯白开水，平淡无味，对吧？可是加上点糖呢，他尝起来会有甜味；如果加的是苏打水，味道就会变苦。人生同样如此——个中滋味在于我们的选择。
善待他人，你会拥有朋友；但如果充满恶意，则会多个敌人。将爱赋予一堆红砖，你会拥有一个家；用仇恨来浇铸这堆红砖，就会铸成一座集中营。
因此亲爱的朋友们，不要抱怨人生乏味，世间无望。不喜欢生活的味道，那就换一换生活的调料吧！
三年前，我重达100多公斤，这给我带来了很多尴尬和挫折：体育课老是不及格，总被女孩们嘲笑，更不敢当众发表意见。幸而由于祖母的鼓励，我不在消极人生，而是充满自信。她曾经说过：―孩子，如果体形无法改变，为什么不把它看做自己独特的风格呢？‖ 我开始这样来审视人生，通过改变生活的视角，我信心大增地去改变我的人生，很快就发现一个崭新的世界。
朋友们，将信念，希望，爱意和忍性溶入生命，你就会找到自信，克服缺点，迎接人生新的挑战。最后我的演讲包括在内，希望你会看到一场精彩的演讲比赛。
3、The East and the West, Let‘s enjoy the combination of the two cultures?
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 people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but I believe that 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 both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.I love Beijing and Hennan opera because it always reminds me of who I am.But I am also a fan of pop music, especially English songs.So I have combined eastern melody with western language.It is called western henna opera.When two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other.When this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture.Then there are certain things some people may not like.To this, I will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it.To learn to tolerate what you personally don‘t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge.Before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures.At present, they may run in different courses.But eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.Right now, I can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the Olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow!Thank you!
3、让我们共同感受东西方的融合
吉卜林说过:东方是东方，西方是西方，二者永不相聚。但是一个世纪后的今天，东西方相汇了!它们相聚在经济领域，它们相聚在教育领域，它们相聚在艺术的殿堂。有人争论说:这种融合需要我们在东方和西方之间做出选择，但我却坚信最美好的未来在于东方和西方创造性的融合。我们可以将西方的思想，观念和技术变为我们自己所用的东西。
我喜爱京剧和河南豫剧，因为它们经常使我想起自己是谁。但我也热衷于流行音乐，特别是英文歌曲。于是我将东方的旋律和西方的语言结合到了一起，它叫做西方版的河南豫剧。
当两种文化相结合的时候，也许一方的文化中的某些东西不适应另一方的传统文化。当此种情况出现时，我们需要试着理解并接受另一种文化中的风俗习惯。然而，也许有些东西你并不喜欢，对于此，我可以说，如果你不喜欢它，请试着去容忍它。当两种文化融合的时候，试着去容忍你个人不喜欢的东西是一种美德。
在我们面前有两条河流，东方文化和西方文化。现在，它们也许正朝着不同的方向流去。但是最终它们将汇合到人类文化的海洋里。
就在此时此刻，我看见东方和西方的人肩并肩的站在一起，高唱奥林匹克主题曲:我们手拉手，心靠着心，共同创造美好的明天!大学生英语演讲稿英语风采大赛半决赛选手自备演讲赏析(大学成人组)
4、Farewell, Indifference
Who was the most well-known figure in China last month? It‘s Ma JiaJue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates.Many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient education.In my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates‘ indifference.Indifference is a terrible disease in today‘s colleges and the whole society.It‘s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other.It‘s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all.It‘s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.Some people may say ‗What the students with psychological problems like Ma JiaJue need is not care but psychotherapy.‖ However, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them.Every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.I once heard one of my roommates who was an introverted girl sobbing at mid-night.Being afraid of disturbing her, I sent a text message to comfort her.The next day, she told me that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend‘s birthday party.She thought she was neglected by others.But my message was really comforting which told her someone still cared about her.What can we do to prevent the tragedy of Ma JiaJue from happening again? Some people may say ‗Let‘s open more psychological courses in schools.‘ and other people may say ‗Let‘s donate more money for the poor students.‘ But I‘ll say ―My fellow student, let‘s give more
love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!‖
4、走出冷漠
谁是中国上个月最有名的人物? 这当然要数马加爵了——这个杀害了四名同学的大学生。很多人将他的犯罪归结于他的贫穷和不全面的教育。但我觉得他的犯罪还跟他周围同学的冷漠有很大关系。
冷漠是流行于当今校园及整个社会中的一种可怕的疾病。有的同学在一起学习了4年却从未说过话，有的同学几天没去上课却无人知晓，还有的同学有了严重的心理问题却得不到关心。
有人说：像马加爵那样有心理问题的人需要的不是关心而是心理治疗。但在一个人生病的时候，除了医生的治疗，他需要的还有周围人的关心。一个微笑，一声问候都能为他们的生活带来阳光。
有一天半夜，我碰巧听见寝室里一个平时很内向的女孩在轻声抽泣。为了不惊动她，我给她发了一条短信来安慰她。第二天，他告诉我那晚她哭了是因为她的一位好朋友开生日聚会没有请她参加，她觉得自己被大家所忽视了。但我对短信却给了她很大安慰，让她觉得还是有人惦记着她的。
如何才能阻止马加爵的悲剧重演呢？有人呼吁应该在学校开设更多的心理辅导课程，有人建议应该给贫困学生更多的捐助，而我要说的是：同学们，让我们把更多的关爱带给我们的舍友，同学和身边的每一个人！
5、I Am Tripping My Elephant Here
Once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way.As he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly.He looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him.Quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out.A sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: ―Hey, chicken!Watch out your leg, it‘s out!‖ The ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: ― Shi…I am going to trip that elephant.‖
Right now, I‘m standing on this glamorous stage.But everything here reminds me of is a not so fun memory.Around this time last year I was in Nanjing competing in another speech contest.That was the first time for me to be in such a large event.Of course the pressure I was under was immense too.After a sleepless and stressful night, I went onto that stage without the feeling in my legs.That speech 6
turned out to be horrible.I don‘t remember how I get down from there, but I do remember afterwards I just wanted to find a hole to hide in just like the ant in the story.Back at my school, it took a long time for me to recover.Thanks to all the help I got from my special friends.My confidence was restored.After rounds of giving speeches and answering tough questions, I am here today.From all that I‘ve been through I‘ve learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if I want my life to go on well I have to let go of my past failure.So today, with out fear, I am tripping my elephant again.5、我又一次在绊大象
从前，一只小蚂蚁在路上走着，走着走着，忽然感觉到地在颤动，回头一看是一只大象正朝他走来。于是他很快用土盖住身体，不幸一只脚忘在了外面。一只麻雀看到了一切，她飞下来想要取笑一下这只蚂蚁，说：―咳，胆小鬼，小心你的脚，露出来了！‖ 蚂蚁开始有些尴尬，但一会不紧不慢地告诉麻雀说：―小声点，我要在绊那只大象。‖
今天，我站在这个讲台上。但周围的一切让我想到的却并不是一段有趣的回忆。大概是去年的这个时间，我在南京参加另一个全国英语演讲比赛。那是我第一次参加大赛，当然压力非常大。经过压抑无眠的一整夜，我走上了演讲台。那时我有史以来最差的一次演讲。我不记得自己怎么从讲台上走下来的，只记得当时很想找一个地方躲进去再也不出来就想我故事中的蚂蚁。回到学校，我花了好一段时间才恢复过来。幸好有朋友和老师的鼓励，我又一次有了勇气和信心。经过一轮又一轮的演讲和回答问题，我今天站在了这里。让也我领悟了一个道理：一个好的将来是建立在忘掉过去的基础上的，直到真正忘记过去的失败生活才会变的美好。今天，我没有惧怕，又一次站到了大象的面前。
6、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.6、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。
7、Make Every Moment Count
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 piding 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.＂
7、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。‖
8、Beggars Today
Beggars are one of the most familiar groups in every city.They accompany us from our childhood until now, and I've found both the beggars and I change in this journey.Years ago as a little girl, when I came across some old and disabled beggars on the road, I'd donate some pocket money to them, happily thinking I was helping.s I have grown older, I've found the number of beggars has grown larger and they are more perse.They appear in every corner of the city, on the overbridge, on the street, near restaurants, and even at your door.In contrast with the old days, it seems like the situation with beggars today is more complicated, which has made me hesitate before deciding whether to help them or not.It's hard for me to give them money considering some who appear beggars in day time but dress up and go to fancy restaurants at night;and some who are controlled by some illegal organization and the money they get all goes to the organization.If I help them, I'd be making the problem worse, I'd be doing harm to the society, indirectly.But it's also hard not to give them money, considering there're real beggars who really need help.If I don't help them, who will? And where is my sympathy?
What hurts me the most is not how hard it is to distinguish the real help-seekers from the many false ones, but that some children are forced by adults, sometimes even their parents, to beg.They grow up despised by the world, out of mainstream society.When I see their eyes filled with desperation and impudence instead of purity and innocence, my heart sinks.We don't know how they will face the world when they grow up, how this will shape their characters, and what they may do to the society, to perpetuate this cycle of violence.Months ago the Fu Jian government has promulgated a new policy to deal with 8 kinds of beggars.An internet survey shows that over 80% of voters reacted positively toward the policy.We know that one single policy cannot solve a problem as complex as this one, but we do look forward to some improvement.I wish all humanity can live like human.8、今日乞丐
在城市中，乞丐是我们最熟悉的群体之一。他们伴随着我们的成长，从童年直到现在。在这个过程中，我发现，乞丐和我都在变。
小时候，每当看到路旁的乞丐，通常是老人或残疾人，我会给他们一些零钱，并且高兴地认为我帮了他们。
长大后，我发现身边乞丐的数量有所增加，而且他们种类繁多。他们无所不在，天桥上，大街上，饭馆旁，家门口，城市中处处是他们的身影。比起过去，今天的乞丐似乎更加复杂，使得我在决定帮不帮他们的时候犹豫不决。
想到那些白天装作乞丐行乞，而夜晚换装后跑到宾馆作乐的人；想到那些被不法集团控制，然后把乞讨来的钱上交给集团的人，我真的很难做到给他们钱。可是，想到那些真正需要帮助的乞丐，又很难做到不帮他们。如果不帮他们，我的同情心死到哪去了？
最让我难受的，并不是因为从众多的假乞丐中找出真乞丐是多么的困难，而是那些被成人，甚至被父母教唆，去乞讨的孩子们。他们在歧视中长大，和主流社会脱离。当我看到他们眼睛里本应有的纯真和童稚被绝望和无耻取代时，心里便很难受。我们不知道他们长大后会怎样面对这个世界，他们的性格会被童年的经历塑造成什么样子，以及他们有可能对社会做出怎样的事情---让恶性循环继续？
几个月前，福建省颁布了一项针对八类乞丐的新政策。网上调查显示，超过80%的人对此政策持乐观态度。虽然如此复杂的问题不能通过单单一项政策得以解决，我们还是期待着一些改善。愿所有的人都能像人一样活着。
9、My Views on Receiving Education
In my early years, I did not see the value of education.When I was going on thirteen, I started to run my own shop.From then on, I worked hard to become a successful businessman.One day I realized the importance of the English language in the business world and started taking night classes.I was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of English study.But I started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of English was not enough to make my business successful.I knew that only a well-rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.When I was eighteen, I had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school.There was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education.I had only completed elementary school up to that point.I then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects.Being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than I.I concluded that my age did not matter.The important thing was getting into college.I took the College Entrance Exams.Although my math exam result was only one point below the required score.I never gave up hope.The following year, I took it again and received the highest score in my city.Achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the next step.I am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn.My passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as I continue to live.―Live and Learn.‖ is the motto I have adopted.I believe with an education I will succeed.So, if you are wondering whether education is important, don‘t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the
opportunity.9、我对教育的看法
在我小的时候，我不觉得教育有什么价值。在13岁的时候，我开始经营我自己的商店。从那时开始，我为成为一个成功的商人而努力工作。
一天，我意识到了英语对做生意的重要性并且开始上夜校。
在经过两年的英语学习之后，我已经能够很流利的和外国顾客交流。但我逐渐意识到，从长远来看，我现在仅有的英语知识无法使我的生意蓬勃发展。我知道只有渊博的知识是我未来成功的保证。
18岁的时候，我必须在继续从商和重新回学校学习之间做出选择。当时我仅有的小学学历成为我接受高等教育的一大障碍。经过4个月各门功课的恶补，我又回到了高中。多年后再次回到学校，让我有些尴尬。因为我的同班同学至少比我小2至3岁。然而在我看来，年龄不是问题，重要的是能上大学。
我参加了高考。虽然我的数学只比分数线低了一分。但我没有放弃。第二年，我又参加了高考并取得了当地的第一名。得到这样一个令人欣喜的结果，给了我进一步深造的动力和胆量。
现在，我上大学二年级，也知道学无止境。只要我活者，我对学习和自我充实的热情就不会减退。
―活到老，学到老‖是我的座右铭。我坚信只有学习才会使我成功。因此，如果你对接受教育的重要性有所怀疑，不要犹豫，勇敢的迈出第一步，这样幸运之神便会光顾你。
10、Change
Leo Tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.He is right.We always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand that changes the world or benefits all of mankind.For example;we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean.Yet we still litter on the ground.We complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation.We are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them.But, do we, as adults, set a good example for our kids? We use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of
them, I dare to say, we harm more!
In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first.As ordinary inpiduals, we do not have the power to change the world.But we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.If each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of inpiduals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!
So please, the next time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!
10、改变
列夫·托尔斯泰曾说过：每个人都想改变这个世界，但是没有人想到改变自己。
他说的很有道理，我们每个人都心怀伟大时志向，时刻准备去干一番能造福全人类的大事业。比如，我们痛恨环境污染，所以我们下定决心去开发新的更高效更干净的能源来保护我们的环境，但是同时我们却随手乱扔垃圾；我们抱怨大城市的交通堵塞，计划造更多的高速路来解决交通问题，但是我们从来没有想过，如果我们能遵守交通规则话，那么这一问题是不是可以得到很大得缓解呢？我们担心电视电影里面得暴力会对我们得孩子产生不良的影响，于是我们敦促政府通过立法来保护未成年人，但是我们这些大人又做得怎么样呢？我们为我们的下一代做好了表率吗？我们说粗话，甚至在孩子面前抽烟。不客气地说，我们对孩子的不良影响更多！
在我看来，在我们打算改变这个世界之前，我们最好先改变一下自己。作为一个普通人，我们其实没有改变这个世界的能力，但是我可以改变我们随地扔垃圾，随地吐痰的坏习惯，我们应该学会去保护环境，我们应该为我们的孩子起好的表率作用。
如果我们每个人都能从小事起，那么千千万万个人力量汇聚在一起，那力量是强大的，足以改变这个世界。
朋友，当您在做某一件事情的时候，请您想一想，您的行为会对您周围的人产生怎样的影响，因为，您的行为不单单影响到您自己，还有您周围的人，更重要的是我们的孩子…甚至我们的世界。
11、No One Can Be Perfect
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.Today I want to tell you a story about one of my friends, a lovely and smart girl who is always ready to help others.Being our grade leader, she is good at both work and study.In many people's opinion, she is excellent and perfect.But one day she told me she was gloomy and insecure.People around her considered her outstanding and flawless, thinking she could handle everything.But the more she thought about herself, the more disappointed she became.She found that she was far from perfection.Last week, she didn‘t do well in her French quiz, and the day before yesterday, she was late for a conference.She felt depressed and frustrated, because she failed to be a perfect girl without any mistakes.I was surprised to hear that for I thought she had every reason to be confident.However, the expectation of perfection has become a burden to her.I told her no one could be perfect and I suggested she find her own position.In fact, people are so eager to be perfect that they demand too much of themselves.They want to be special and unique, and they want to have no defects or weaknesses.However, we can never avoid mistakes and errors.It‘s impossible for us to be a superman or a superwoman.No matter how successful we are, there are always some flaws.If we hold that everything should be perfect, we would be overcritical.My friend now has changed her attitude.She accepts her shortcomings but still keeps a positive outlook.She is even more active and doesn‘t allow the mistakes to hinder her pursuit of excellence.And I think that‘s the way we should be！That‘s all.Thank you!
11、没有人可以完美无缺
女士们、先生们，大家早上好！今天我想给大家讲一个我朋友的故事。她是一个聪明可爱、乐于助人的女孩。作为我们的年级长，她无论工作还是学习都很出色。在很多人眼里，她是如此优秀，近乎完美了。但有一天她却告诉我，她很迷惘和自卑：周围的人都认为她很优秀，完美无缺，可以对付任何事情；而她想得越多对自己就越是失望。她发觉自己远不够完美。上周她的法语测验
考得不理想；前天，一个会议她又迟到了：很多事情做的不尽完美，这让她很是灰心丧气。
听到这些的时候我很惊讶，我原以为她有充分的理由对自己充满信心。然而，对完美的期望却变成了她的负担。我告诉她，没有人可以完美无缺的，她应该找到自己真正的位置。
实际上，人们有时过于追求完美而且期望的太多了。我们想要特别，想要独一无二；又想要没有缺点没有弱点。可是，人是无法避免错误的,有谁能成为超人呢？无论你多么成功，总是有一些事情不够完美。如果我们坚持要完美无缺，那只能是一种求全责备。
我的朋友现在已经改变了她的态度。她承认自己的不完美，但是保持着乐观的心态。她没有停止追求，反而变得更为积极。我想这正是我们应该有的态度。
12、Never Give Up
―If I could reach higher, just for one moment to touch the sky…‖---this is from my favorite song Reach.When we are appreciating the passionate melody of Gloria Estefan, we could hardly imagine that she could return to the stage after her paralysis.In the year 1990, this Cuban singer was knocked down in a traffic accident, and the doctor declared that she might never walk again.But Gloria did not give up and kept up constant exercising.Just one year after the disaster, she stood up again and presented this encouraging song at the Atlanta Olympics.Whenever I think of Gloria, I can‘t help recalling my memory seven years ago, when I first entered university.Naturally shy, ordinary looking, average scores in study, just like an ugly duckling, I seemed to be the least outstanding one in my class.And the successive failures in the beginning led me into despair.―Am I destined to take the back seat to others?‖ Unwilling to submit to the fate, I paid more efforts on my study as well as many other activities, film dubbing, recital, drama… cause I just want to catch every little opportunity to prove myself.Constant effort yields sure success.Thanks to the competition, I received some awards and most of all, I gained the courage and confidence to face any difficulties in my life journey.Life is just like farming, and what you can reap depends a lot on
your sowing and dedication.Once you have a dream, don‘t be hesitant.Your next difficult step may be the one to the top.Keep going forward, even in the toughest time, and never give up.12、永不放弃
―如果我能到达更高的地方，哪怕只有碰触天空的一刹那…‖---选自我所喜爱的歌曲《到达》。
当我们在欣赏葛罗莉亚·伊斯特芬那充满激情的旋律，我们很难想象她能从瘫痪中回到舞台。1990年这个古巴歌手遭遇车祸，医生说她可能再也没办法走路了。可是葛罗莉亚并没有放弃希望，坚持做恢复训练。在灾难后仅仅一年，她又站起来了，并且在亚特兰大奥运会上唱响了这首鼓舞人心的歌曲。
每当我想起葛罗莉亚的时候，我禁不住回忆起七年前我刚进入大学的时候。天性害羞，相貌平平，成绩一般，就像一只丑小鸭，我是班上最不起眼的一个。而且在刚开学时一连串的失败让我陷入绝望。―难道我注定要给别人当配角吗？‖ 不愿意向这个命运屈服，我更加努力的学习并且参加许多其他的活动，电影配音、朗诵、戏剧…因为我想抓住任何一个微小的机会来证实我自己。不懈的努力终会带来成功。我从竞赛中获得了一些奖励，最重要的是，我从中得到了面对人生一切困难的勇气和决心。
生活就像是耕耘，一份耕耘一份收获。一旦你有了梦想，不要犹豫。你艰难的下一步也许就是通往成功的阶梯。即使在最困难的时候也要勇往直前，决不放弃。
13、The Importance of Keeping Optimistic
Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen，Good afternoon!Today I would like to talk about the importance of keeping optimistic.When we encounter difficulties in life, we notice that some of us choose to bury their heads in the sand.Unfortunately, however, this attitude will do you no good, because if you will have no courage even to face them, how can you conquer them? Thus, be optimistic, ladies and gentlemen, as it can give you confidence and help you see yourself through the hard times, just as Winston Churchill once said, ―An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity;a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.‖
Ladies and Gentlemen, keeping optimistic, you will be able to realize, in spite of some hardship, there‘s always hope waiting for you, 17
which will lead you to the ultimate success.Historically as well as currently, there are too many optimists of this kind to enumerate.You see, Thomas Edison is optimistic;if not, the light of hope in his heart could not illuminate the whole world.Alfred Nobel is optimistic;if not, the explosives and the prestigious Nobel Prize would not have come into being.And Lance Armstrong is also optimistic;if not, the devil of cancer would have devoured his life and the world would not see a 5-time winner of the Tour De France.A rose may be beautiful, or maybe not;that depends on your attitude only, and so does success, so does life.Hindrances and difficulties do exist, but if you are optimistic, then they are only episodes on your long way to the throne of success;they are more bridges than obstacles!Now I prefer to end my speech with the great British poet Shelley‘s lines: ―If winter comes, can spring be far behind?‖ Thank you!
13、保持乐观的重要性
尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们：
下午好！今天我想谈一谈保持乐观的重要性。我们注意到，当在生活中遇到困难时，我们中的有些人选择逃避它们。但令人遗憾的是，这样的态度对你没有任何好处，因为如果你连面对它们的勇气都没有的话，你怎么去征服它们呢？因此，乐观起来吧，女士们、先生们，因为它会带给你信心，帮助你渡过难关。正如温斯顿·丘吉尔所说，―乐观者在每次灾难中都看到机遇；悲观者在每次机遇中都看到灾难‖。
女士们，先生们，困难是存在的，但如果你保持乐观，你就会意识到永远有希望在等着你，它会把你领向最终的成功。不管是历史上还是现实中，这样的乐观者总是不胜枚举。你看，托马斯·爱迪生是乐观的，如果不是的话，他心中那希望的明灯就不能照亮整个世界；阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔是乐观的，如果不是的话，那炸药和享有很高声望的诺贝尔奖就不会诞生；兰斯·阿姆斯特朗也是乐观的，如果不是的话，那癌症的病魔早已吞噬了他的生命，这个世界就会少了一位五届环法自行车赛冠军得主.玫瑰花可能很美，也可能不美，这，仅仅取决于你的态度；而成功也如此，人生也如此。困难和阻碍的确存在，但是如果你很乐观的话，那它们就仅仅是我们通向胜利之冠的漫长道路上的小插曲；与其说它们是障碍，不如说它们是桥梁！此刻，我想以伟大的英国诗人雪莱的一句诗来作为我的结尾：―冬天来了，18
春天还会远吗?‖谢谢！
14、What College Education Means to Me
The title of my speech is ―What college education means to me‖.Now reflecting on the past two and half years of my college experience, I come to realize how much it has shaped me.For me, college education is a marvelous ship-builder who designed me from kneel plates up.With great vision, college education has equipped me, first with a powerful propeller----the sophisticated knowledge in certain field and wide exposure to other disciplines.By dedicating myself to the engineering courses in the day and immersing myself in the rich banquet of the world literature at night, I‘ve amassed the driving force for the future and enriched my soul.Besides, college education has also provided me with a precise compass----the sense of social responsibility.How can I best serve the interest of the public while achieving my self-fulfillment? My one year‘s experience as a part-time English teacher has testified: to be valuable to society as well as to find my place, I have to possess some actual strength and the ability to function well in the most challenging situation.Amid the hectic schedule that balances club activities, sports, and academic courses, I feel the rhythm and beauty in the intensity of my high-pitched life, knowing that I ‘m on the right way.And more importantly, college education has set up not only single ships, but also fleets with common destinations.By interacting with friends of common beliefs, I‘ve acquired skills of relating to other people.Now ,as a ship about to make my maiden voyage ,I‘m still not in the position to tell what‘s waiting ahead of me ,but with a powerful propeller, a precise compass and ardent companions of sailing in the sea of society, I‘m ready to be a great sea-explorer.Thank you.14、大学教育对我的意义
今天我演讲的题目是―大学教育对我的意义‖。回顾思索着逝去的两年半的大学生活，我渐渐认识到大学教育对我产生的巨大影响。
对我来说，大学教育犹如一位技艺精湛的造船师，从船头至船尾地塑造了我。
首先，具有远见卓识的大学教育为我装配了一只马力强劲的推进器；精深的专业知识及广博的课外知识给我带来无限动力。白天我全神贯注地研习自己的工科课程，晚上则尽情享受世界文学所带来的盛宴，在此过程中，我既为未来积聚了力量，又充实了自己的灵魂。
此外，大学教育还为我提供了一个精确的罗盘，即社会责任感。―如何才能在实现自我价值的同时最大限度地服务于社会？‖我一年的兼职英语教师的经历证明：只有拥有过硬的实力和对高挑战性局面应付自如的能力，我才能成为一个对社会有价值的人，一个找到自己位置的人。在协调着社团活动、体育运动和专业课程的忙碌日程中，我感受到了高节奏、高密度生活的韵律与美丽。
更为重要的是，大学教育不仅仅制造了一只只单个的船只，他还组建了一支支驶向同一目的地的大舰队。在与志趣相投的朋友们的相处、融合中，我锻炼了与人交往的能力。
现在我即将作为一只巨轮开始我的首航，尽管前方的情况还无法预料，我却有充足的信心作一名出色的海洋探索者，因为我有强劲的推进器、精确的罗盘，还有一帮与我同行、一起驶向社会之洋的热心朋友！
15、Our common destiny
― We are made wise not by the recollections of the past but by our responsibility for the future‖
----George Bernard Shaw
China is faced with some enormous challenges as it enters the 21st century.In order to ensure the prosperity of our nation and its future generations we must confront and ultimately solve these challenges.Some of the more pressing issues facing China are universal.These include environmental degradation, over population and the effects of globalization.To overcome some of the things we need to implement include:
Enhancing our scientific and industrial technologies in such areas as IT, Bio-tech, AI and Cybernetics.Further develop public infrastructure in under developed regions.Promote education reform at all levels.Introduce sustainable development initiatives.The implementation of free trade agreement between China and ASEAN.The benefit to China in introducing these initiatives will be significant and far-reaching.It is important to realize that these initiatives need to filter down through all elements of the society in China.For instance, cutting edge technologies and intellectual properties;the development of e-commerce based economy;an education system that encourages innovation and creativity;increased foreign investment;higher living standards;more efficient use of natural resources.It is important for us to realize these reforms are both essential and necessary.These will help China to fulfill its vast and unrealized potential on the world stage.It will also contribute more to a globalized world of the new century.As for the future our task is not to foresee but to enable.15、我们的共同命运
―我们并不是靠回忆过去而变得睿智，我们之所以明智是由于我们有对未来的责任感‖。
中国在迈向二十一世纪的同时，也面临着一些巨大的挑战，为了确保我国的繁荣及为子孙后代着想，我们必须面对挑战并最终从根本上解决它们。
一些中国即将面临的挑战迫切的问题是全球普遍存在的。这些问题包括环境恶化，人口过剩及全球化的影响。为了解决这些问题，我们需要实施以下措施：
（1）提高并增强我们的科学及产业技术，如在信息技术产业，生物技术领域，人工智能以及神经机械学领域；
（2）加快推动欠发达地区的公共设施建设；
（3）促进不同层次的教育改革；
（4）使可持续发展的观念深入人心；
（5）推行中国与东南亚联盟的自由贸易协定。
中国将受益于积极主动的采取具有重要深远意义的措施。认识到这些措施
需要实施到中国社会的各个层面是重要的，从而带来广泛且深远的各种改善，如：边缘科技及知识产权；发展以电子商务为基础的经济；一种鼓励发明与创造的教育体制；更多的外国投资； 更高的生活水平；更加有效的利用自然资源。
我们要意识到各项改革措施是根本的也是有必要的。这些将会促进中国在世界舞台上实现其巨大且尚未实现的潜力。
这也将会对全球化的新世纪做出贡献。

16、Finding Me-time is Important
Hello, Dear teachers and fellow students.It is my honor to be here on this beautiful Friday morning to share with you my view on ―Me-time‖.In my opinion，finding me-time is important.With the development of the modern society, we students in China have more and more pressure.We have to spare every minute to study very hard and join various kinds of out-of-class training courses to improve ourselves.So we are really in lack of me-time which is helpful to keep ourselves from being over-stressed、tired and worried.I do not have as much fun as before and I always miss my childhood.Three hours of homework and two piano lessons one day make me have hardly any me-time to relax myself.I was once an active basketball player on my school team.But now, basketball, my best friend, I haven‘t touched it for almost two months.Me-time seems to have become a luxury.Last week, when I heard there was going to be a basketball match between our school and No 1 Middle School, I was so excited that I rushed home and told my parents the news.I asked my father, ― Dad, may I play basketball after school ? The coach says I am the best guard in our school.If I join the school basketball team, we are sure to beat No 1 Middle School this time.‖ My father showed his dispproval and said, ― Of course you can‘t.I‘m disappointed at you.Why do you have such a silly idea? Don‘t forget to work hard on your schoolwork and piano lessons.‖ In my parents‘ points of view, playing basketball is a waste of time.As far as I‘m concerned, the school assignment to the junior school students is too heavy.To grow into healthy and well-rounded adults, we should be allowed to have more me-time for relaxation.The pressure put on our students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.My dear teachers, I hope you can assign less homework so we students can enjoy a period of me-time.My dear parents, would you please not follow me and remind me of study all the time? Please trust me that I will do my best.My dear friends, why not stop for a while from your heavy homework and do anything you like? It‘s me-time.I do think, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to us students and to the society as a whole.Finding me-time will make our life rich, colorful and rewarding.Thank you for your attention!
17、Finding me time is important
Hello, my dear friends, it is my great honor to be here and give a speech.Today I want to talk about the importance of finding *me time*.May I begin my speech by asking you a question? Do you often feel tired, stressed or worried? If you do have these problems, you are lack of me-time to relax yourself.Psychologist tell us that stress is caused by too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life.In my point of view, if you want to have a healthy mind and body, having your own me-time is very important.Let me take myself as an example.I was a carefree and outgoing girl before I entered the junior high school.I had much me-time and did anything I like after class.I kept a lovely pet and whenever I have time I played with her happily.However, the situation is quite different now.When I want to turn on the TV、surf on the internet or go out shopping
with my friends, my parents always look at me seriously and say ― Don‘t forget to spend more time on your lessons.If you don‘t cherish every minute of your time, other students will catch up with you.‖ So, every day, every moment, I am overwhelmed by all kinds of assignments.I become more and more silent and can‘t sleep well before the exams because I‘m dressed and worried about my results.I feel so tired and how I want to have me time to relax myself.I long for a period of time that I could walk in a small path in the countryside, sing my favorite song and smell the essence of nature.My dear friends, having your own me-time is important.I firmly believe that achievements depend on our health.If we want to have a more harmonious state to work better, we should find more *me time* and keep off the overwhelm stresses.Talks, jokes, games, fresh air or beautiful scenes will be helpful for you.Trust me, you‘ll be more refreshable and energetic.18、My Hometown—Inner Mongolia
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, today, I would like to introduce my beloved hometown—Inner Mongolia to all of you.It has been 57 years since the birth of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on May 1st, 1947.Dominated by the Mongolian nationality, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is located on the northern frontier of China.The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region occupies an area of 1.18 million square kilometers and has a population of about 20 million people who represent a score of different nationalities.Every time when people talk about Inner Mongolia, they‘ll come down to the vast grassland.Yes, the Inner Mongolian prairie area makes up a quarter of the total grassland area of the country.On the boundless expanse of the Inner Mongolian prairie are living numerous sheep, Cattle and horses, on which our Mongolian have lived for generations.That is why the grassland is eulogized as ―cradle of life‖.There are two vast grasslands in my hometown—Hulun Buir Grasslands and Xilin Gol Grasslands which are both world-famous regions.People in Inner
Mongolia are famous for their bravery, enthusiasm and hospitality.No mater where you are from, as long as you come to a herdsman‘s house, you will be warmly entertained with roasted whole lamb and milk tea, and what‘s more, you can also appreciate beautiful Mongolian songs and elegant dances.It is not exaggerating to say Mongolians are born singers and dancers.The moment you set your feet on the grassland areas you will discover it is indeed a real land of songs and dances.Today‘s Inner Mongolia still maintains her ethnic characteristics and at the dame time, she tries to keep pace with the development of the modern world.Ordus is a worldwide well-known brand, Yili and Mengniu are both the famous dairy industries, which have greatly improved the living standard of our Mongolian people.And I‘m sure, our Mongolian people will make great effort to contribute to our hometown.As a college student, I know quite clearly that my mission is to master solid knowledge and one day do good to my beloved hometown.18、我的家乡——内蒙古
早上好，女士们先生们，今天我想给大家介绍一下我的家乡——内蒙古。内蒙古自治区区自1947年5月1日成立以来，已有57年的历史了。坐落在中国北部边陲的内蒙古自治区是一个以蒙古族为主的地区。它拥有118万平方公里的土地面积，2000万来自不同民族的人民共同居住在这里。
每当人们谈到内蒙古都会想到辽阔的草原，是的，内蒙古的草原面积占全国总草原面积的1/4。成群的羊儿，牛儿和马儿生活在这片无边无际的草原上，是它们养育了世世代代的草原儿女，因此，草原也被赞颂为―生命的摇篮‖。我们的家乡有两大世界著名的草原——呼伦贝尔大草原和锡林郭勒大草原。蒙古族是一个勇敢、热情、好客的民族，如果你去到牧民的家里，无论你来自哪儿，热情的牧民都会用烤全羊和奶茶款待你，同时，你还可以欣赏到优美的蒙古族歌舞。蒙古族人民天生能歌善舞，这一点儿也不夸张，在你踏上草原的那一刻，你就会发现这确实是一片歌舞的海洋。
今天的内蒙古仍然保留着她的民族特色，同时，她还时刻紧跟时代的步伐。鄂尔多斯是闻名世界的知名品牌，伊利和蒙牛两大乳业集团是内蒙古经济发展的支柱产业。我相信，草原人民一定会继续努力为家乡的发展做出贡献，作为一名大学生，我会掌握好扎实的知识，回报我可爱的家乡。
19、I can handle it
I can never forget the summer in 1996.I went through an extremity of despair due to my failure in the National College Entrance Examination.It seemed that my dream of being a university student would never come true.One evening my father came and told me the story of Steven Callahan, who was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.It was a miracle that he survived and was found 76 days later(the longest anyone has survived a shipwreck on a life raft alone).Later in his narrative he wrote these sentences ―I tell myself I can handle it.Compared to what others have been through I‘m fortunate‖.Hearing these sentences I felt something important struck me.I believed my life would mot be that bad and it was proved to be true.Later during my study in the university I always told myself ―I can handle it‖ when my own goals seemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming and every time I said it ,I always came back to my senses.Now I work as an English teacher in a middle school.Whenever my students complain about their difficulties in study or want to give up, I will tell the same story of Callahan to them.I just want to make them believe they can handle their difficulties because their circumstances are only bad compared to something better.But others have been through much worse.Then they will build up fortitude.So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that can give us strength.Whatever you‘re going through, tell yourself you can handle it.Compared to what others have been through, you‘re fortunate.Tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots with little more fortitude.19、我能挺过去的
我永生难忘1996年的夏天。由于我在高考中的失利，我感到了极度的失望，我要成为一名大学生的梦想似乎是无法实现了。一天傍晚，我的父亲来给我讲 26
了一个关于史蒂文·卡拉汉的故事，史蒂文独自驾驶着帆船横渡大西洋，途中船遇难下沉，但是他却活了下来并在76天后被人发现。（他是世界上遇海滩在救生艇中存活最长时间的人了）。后来卡拉汉在他的叙述中写到―我告诉自己一定可以挺过去的，跟别人的遭遇相比，我已经算是幸运的了‖。
听了这些话，我被深深地震撼了，我相信我的生活不会太差而事实也证明了这一点，后来我得到了进入大学学习的机会，在大学学习期间，当我觉得自己的目标似乎遥不可及或者我遇到了似乎无法解决的问题时，我就勉励自己说―我能挺过去的‖而每每念及这句话，我总能有所醒悟。
现在我在一所中学教英语，每当学生们报怨学习的困难或是想放弃时，我就给他们讲卡拉汉的故事，我就是想让他们相信他们可以从困难中挺过去的，因为困境都是相对而言的，有些人比我们更不幸，然后他们就会在自己心中建立起永不放弃的信念。
从这个大难不死的故事中，我们学到了能给予我们勇气与力量的话语，无论你遭遇了什么，都要对你自己说：一定能挺过去的。与其他人的不幸相比，你已经算是很幸运了，要一遍一遍地用此话鼓励自己，这个信念会使你更有信心渡过难关。
20、Welcome to Guangdong
Ladies and Gentlemen, Honorable Judges, Good afternoon.I come from one of the most lovely and attractive areas of China, the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province and I'd love to say a few words about this area that is so dear to my heart.Guangdong Province is a magically beautiful wonderland, with endless natural treasures.The lush and green mountains are inhabited by songbirds and exotic animals;the farm land is fertile and productive, providing all of its people with wonderfully nutritious grains and all the fruits they need to be healthy and strong.The Pearl River meanders through the province and eventually comes to our beautiful seashore with crystal clear blue water, flourishing with all kinds of different fish and sea creatures.All these natural advantages help to boost the ever-expanding economy of Guangdong and increase the welfare of its people.Guangdong is privileged to have such a beautiful landscape, with hundreds of historical sites and places of great interest to local people and foreigners alike.Our capital city, Guangzhou, is also known as “the
city of flowers”.Everywhere you look you will see flourishing plants and blossoming flowers overflowing with vigor.The people of Guagdong are very friendly to visitors from anywhere.Whoever you are and wherever you come from, Guangdong people will greet you with the only language---Guangdong dialect.Guangdong is also known as the Chinese capital of delicious food.There is an old saying that “The only best delicacies are in Guangdong.‖ Food from this province is internationally famous.Its variety of tastes, shapes and colors can satisfy even the most refined palette.I'm sure, the moment you seat yourself at a Cantonese banquet, your appetite will naturally become keen and eager to taste all the numerous delicacies of the region.Here are but a few I will mention in passing: steamed fish in ginger sauce, seasoned chicken, drunken shrimp, dance fish balls, fried jellyfish, roast suckling pig or duck, braised crispy chicken or squab, shark fin soup, moon cakes, refreshments and desert, and so many more.My mouth is watering just at the sound of these wonderful dishes.I would like you all to know that there is truly nowhere in the world I would rather live and I invite you all to come discover the hidden treasures of my hometown.I would be glad to serve as your personal guide.20、广东欢迎您

21、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.29
21、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。
22、Knowledge collaboration and all-round education
Ladies and gentlemen，We engineering students take it for granted that technology is changing incredibly fast.We are thinking nervously and seriously whether our colleges are failing to provide a foundation in the skills currently needed in industry.Take my major telecommunications for example.Scientists say that 21st century is a biomedical time, not an electrical time.But without the help of electronic data processing and transformation, biomedical technology alone cannot go too far.Funny enough, the word biomedical itself is just a combination of two disciplines.So the interdisciplinary exploitation serves as the critical part for our electric and electronics world as well as any other fields to find new way of being.But the power of knowledge collaboration is certainly not restricted to science and engineering;it is in the full community of learning.Walking around campus I absorbed a reality that there is a seamless web between students from different professional 30
backgrounds.The engineering students are discussing animatedly in a philosophy lecture, speaking passionately in the public speaking club, and looking for sparkling ideas from learning history and arts.How wonderful that is!That, ladies and gentleman, is just a significant step forward to be well-rounded because once we jump out of the circle we can see the bigger picture.My friends, I hope that you have already got what university is all about.Please let me end my speech with the Nobel Prize winner Li Zhengdao‘s words: ―The realization of the perfect combination of science and engineering, science and arts, technology and humanity，is the greatest symbol of a university‘s success.‖ Thank you.22、知识的融合和人才的全面发展
我们理工科的学生都知道科技在以一种难以置信的速度变化发展着。我们都在紧张和严肃地思考着是否我们的大学能够为我们提供一个适应当前工业需要的知识基础。以我的专业通信工程为例，科学家们说21世纪是生物医学的世纪，而不是电气电子的世纪。但是如果没有电子化的数据处理和转换，生物医学时代就不能发展。有趣的是：―生物医学‖这个词本身就是两个学科的结合，所以跨学科的开发手段就成了电气电子领域以及其他任何领域寻找新出路的关键。
但是知识的结合不仅仅局限在科学和工程中，而是在任何的学习中。徜徉在校园里，我看到了这样一个事实：理工科学生们在哲学讲座上讨论得热火朝天，在演讲俱乐部里激情地演说，在历史和艺术里寻找着闪光的思想。太棒了！朋友们，这就是我们能够全面发展的重要一步，因为当我们跳出自己的圈子时，我们能看到更大的图画。
朋友们，我希望你们已经意识到了大学教育究竟意味着什么。让我以诺贝尔奖获得者李政道先生的话结束我的演讲：―科学与工程，科学与艺术，科技与人道的完美结合，乃是大学教育的最大成功。‖
谢谢。
23、The Future Is Now-The Choice is yours
As two men were about to be sent into prison, the warden let each of them make a demand.The American loved smoking, so he wanted three boxes of cigars;while the Jew said all he needed was a telephone to contact with people outside of the prison.Two years later, the first out was the American who still had many cigars in his hands and
pockets but was crying: ―Give me some matches!‖ Then the Jew walked out, he shook hands with the warden and said: ―Thank you for the phone, it made my business increase by 200%.‖
What do you think of this story? Life today is what you‘ve decided years ago, and so is the future: your decisions today will affect your destiny years later.Now I have two things to choose from: to go abroad, to find myself a decent job after graduation or to further my study as a postgraduate.I haven‘t worked out an answer to this question yet, but I know that whatever I do will directly affect my future.An Indian once said life is just like a game of cards, the cards in your hand represent opportunities, while the way you play decides the result you‘ll get.Looking back in history, during World War Ⅱ, Churchill who led the British people resolved to expect ―blood, toil, tears and sweat‖.They won the victory then.Today Shenzhou 5 took the first Chinese astronaut into space.I am sure that later there‘ll be more spacecrafts, like Shenzhou 6,7 and 8 ……
So what does the future look like? No one can tell.But I know the choice is yours, the future is now.Make good use of everyday, a man can achieve greater successes, a country can gain prosperity and the whole world can be united, as it has never been before.23、未来在于现在，选择则在你的手中
就在两个人即将入狱之时，看守让他们每个人提一个要求。美国人喜欢抽烟，于是要了三大箱的雪茄；而犹太人则说，他只要一个可以与外界联系的电话就可以了。两年后，刑期已满，第一个出来的是美国人，只见他手上拿着的，口袋里插着的都是烟，却大叫到：―给我火柴！‖接着犹太人走了出来，他握紧看守的手说：―谢谢您给的电话，我的生意在这两年间没有赔却增长了一倍。‖这个故事告诉了我们什么呢？多年前作的决定影响着你今天的生活，你今天的决定又会影响着多年之后的未来。现在我自己就面临着这样一个抉择：是出国，毕业后找一份安定的职业还是去考研继续深造。我还未找到自己的答案，但我明白无论我选择了什么，都会直接的影响我的将来。
印度人曾说过，生命就像是一场纸牌游戏，你手里的牌代表着机遇，而你如何去出牌才真正的决定着你的输赢。回望历史，二战期间，邱吉尔带领英国人民决心迎接―血，汗与泪‖并最终赢得了胜利。今天，神州五号载着第一位中国宇航员进入了太空。我可以预见到，未来会有更多的神州六号、七号这样的
中国宇宙飞船驶入太空。那么未来的路又是怎样的那？没有人知道。但我可以告诉你，抉择在你的手中，未来始于现在。从现在起，充分利用好每一天，一个人可以取得成就，一个国家能够繁荣起来，而全世界则会前所未有的团结在一起。
24、LIFE IS A CHOICE
In our daily lives, we have many choices to make, such as what to eat for supper,what clothes to wear, or what to do on weekends.At certain times in our lives, we need to make even more critical choices, such as which school to attend, what job to take or who to choose as husband or wife.Yes, life is a matter of choice.Seemimgly, it means a choice of tangible things.But in essence, it means choosing a way of life.Life is to be lived, savored, and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the grave threat from the life-and-death disease--SARS.Yet, even during those dreadful times, some afflicted people remained optimistic.Instead of wearing neutral white masks, some people turned to colouful ones, and thus display a happy mood.And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean ”SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.“ I was deeply touched by their optimisim, nearly forgetting that we're still in a battle.people who survive these kinds of circumstances,(at some point)decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the overwhelming odds.laid-off workers, typically regarded as the victims of economic advancement, are subject to desperation that being unmeployed has brought on them.But, encouragingly, we have witnessed some of them striving hard to rebuild confidence toward life and discover new opportunities for demonstrating their values.Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities, we do have the privilege to choose to live optimistcally,to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.33
Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.As for me, I choose to be cheerful.24、生活是一种选择
日常生活中,我们会面临各种各样的选择,像是晚餐吃什么,穿什么或是如何度周末.而在人生中的特定阶段,我们需要做出更多关键性的抉择,例如教育,职业或者人生伴侣.生活就意味着一种选择.这种选择看似是对具体事物的判断,但归根究底,是一种生活方式的选择.任何无味的抱怨和虚度光阴只会带来乏味,生活的美需要细心品尝,用心体会.如今回想起那段笼罩在SARS阴影下的日子依然心有余悸.但即便在那样令人沮丧的日子里,备受折磨的人们也始终保持着乐观.为传递一种欢快的情绪,大家换上了色彩缤纷的口罩.而那些富有创造力的人则把SARS解释为”笑口常开“.他们对待生活的乐观态度深深打动了我,几乎让我忘记我们还身处在没有硝烟的战场.其实,正是坚持不懈,坚忍不拔的精神引领人们走出了逆境.被看做经济发展牺牲品的广大下岗职工在面对生存压力时,特别容易陷入绝望当中.但别人欣慰的是,我们看到越来越多的这个群体中的成员重建了对生活的信心,并重新立足于社会以实现自己的价值.尽管容貌和天资都是上苍给予,而人生旅途中的坎坷与荆棘我们也无法预计,那就让我们热爱生命,拥有梦想,珍惜希望吧.每日清晨梦醒,我们都被赋予了选择生活的权利.而我会让一切从愉快开始.25、The House Debates Health Reform Good afternoon, everybody.I just want to say a few words about the landmark vote that the House of Representatives is poised to（随时准备着）take today--a vote that can bring us one step closer to making real the promise of quality, affordable（支付得起）health care for the American people.For the better part of a year now, members of the House and the Senate have been working diligently（勤奋地）and constructively to craft legislation that will benefit millions of American families and millions of American businesses who urgently need it.For the first time ever, they've passed bills through every single committee
responsible for reform.They've brought us closer than we have ever been to passing health insurance reform on behalf of the American people.Now is the time to finish the job.The bill that the House has produced will provide stability and security for Americans who have insurance;quality, affordable options for those who don't;and lower costs for American families and American businesses.And as I've insisted from the beginning, it is a bill that is fully paid for and will actually reduce our long-term federal deficit（赤字，不足）.This bill is change that the American people urgently need.Don't just take my word for it.Consider the national groups who've come out in support of this bill on behalf of their members: The Consumers Union supports it because it will create--and I quote--”a more secure, affordable health care system for the American people.“ The American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association support it on behalf of doctors and nurses and medical professionals who know firsthand what's broken in our current system, and who see what happens when their patients can't get the care they need because of insurance industry bureaucracies（官僚政治）.The National Farmers Union supports this bill because it will control costs for farmers and ranchers（牧场主）, and address the unique challenges rural Americans face when it comes to receiving quality care.And the AARP supports it because it will achieve the goal for which the AARP has been fighting for decades--reducing the cost of health care, expanding coverage for America's seniors, and strengthening Medicare for the long haul.Now, no bill can ever contain everything that everybody wants, or please every constituency（选区）and every district.That's an impossible task.But what is possible, what's in our grasp right now is the chance to prevent a future where every day 14,000 Americans 35
continue to lose their health insurance, and every year 18,000 Americans die because they don't have it;a future where crushing costs keep small businesses from succeeding and big businesses from competing in the global economy;a future where countless dreams are deferred or scaled back because of a broken system we could have fixed when we had the chance.What we can do right now is choose a better future and pass a bill that brings us to the very cusp（尖头，尖端）of building what so many generations of Americans have sought to build--a better health care system for this country.Millions of Americans are watching right now.Their families and their businesses are counting on us.After all, this is why they sent us here, to finally confront the challenges that Washington had been putting off for decades--to make their lives better, to leave this country stronger than we found it.I just came from the Hill where I talked to the members of Congress there, and I reminded them that opportunities like this come around maybe once in a generation.Most public servants pass through their entire careers without a chance to make as important a difference in the lives of their constituents and the life of this country.This is their moment, this is our moment, to live up to the trust that the American people have placed in us--even when it's hard;especially when it's hard.This is our moment to deliver.I urge members of Congress to rise to this moment.Answer the call of history, and vote yes for health insurance reform for America.36
26、What Is Real Beauty？
It is human nature that all of us should be fond of beauty.Everybody was born with a heart for beauty.Today in China,with the rising of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly.Some people spare no money or energy on beautiful clothes, fashionable hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks.But it seems to me,all these are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.In my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance and neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty.As we all know,so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only beautiful appearance to be mentioned, but to us humanbeings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important.This was confirmed by a famous Russian writer in words much like this: ”A person is not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely.“
Here, I'd like to quote two typical instances and I'm sure, my dear friends,from them you'll find out what real beauty is.Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer.She is very charming with a sweet beautiful voice and very famous for singing the song.”Devotion of Love“.Not long ago,she was invited to Zhejiang Province to give performance.The moment she was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward.Worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once.Instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece.37
Thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour.So when she at last showed up and started to sing ”Devotion of Love“,a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,”You don't have any devotion of love.You are not qualified to sing this song!“Hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the man.At this time the whole audience burst into an uproar.How disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this!It is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.Now, I'm coming to another true story.It's about a poor, ordinary looking old woman.She was a widow without any children, living barely from hand to mouth by picking odds and ends from rubbish heaps.However,she took in more than ten homeless orphans successively and managed to bring them up.Every day she labored from morning till night.In order to earn as much money as possible to raise the children and to keep them in school,she even went to a hospital regularly to sell her blood.She got so weak for the loss of blood that she sometimes fell in a faint on her way home.When asked why she chose to burden herself with so many children,she smiled and simply answered,”Oh,I love children and I like to have their company.“
Though the old woman was poor materially, she was full of affection and rich in spirit.She was loved dearly by her children.She was also highly appreciated by the local government, and truly respected by people in her community.Maybe you can't help wondering, ”What makes that ordinary woman so extraordinary?“ It is nothing else but her inner beauty, her true devotion of love without any thought of rewarding.What a sharp
contrast there is between the great woman and the selfish singer]
So,to answer the question ”What is real beauty?", I declare definitely,it is the beauty lying in one's heart of hearts and embodied in his actions and deeds,that is,the inner heauty!
27、My definition of success I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success.What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rather simple.Winning a game is success;getting a high grade in the exam is success;making a new friend is success;even now I am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.However, as a person‘s whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated.Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don‘t think so.I believe success is the realization of people‘s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful.And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life.So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose.But the problem is wether it is real success.We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us.If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people‘ hopes and ideals.Different people have different ideas about success;cause people‘s hopes and ideas vary from one another.But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility.These are the 39
