Hello! I wonder whether everybody knows the meaning of these two words of " energy-conservation " and " low carbon "? I assume as a matter of course and know. Does " energy-conservation " save the energy? Does " low carbon " reduce carbon emission? Yes, it is really simple. We often chat about them. But, do you really understand them? Have they really taken root on your bottom of heart deeply?
Once, the Earth mother left our rich energy to cause us to be jubilant, sighed on Earth's energy inexhaustible, inexhaustible, now, the newest statistics indicated, the petroleum will dry up after 60 years, the coal also might supply the humanity to use for 250 years; Once, developed first, the environment question the situation which neglected is often occurred, now, the sustainable development, was together harmoniously with the nature the biggest topic.Not difficult to see, the environment question in is taken unceasingly by the people.For all this, the environment question was still stern, the energy conservation reduced the platoon, the low-carbon lives imminently.At the Copenhagen climate congress, this affects the human destiny the question slowly to be unable to reach the agreement actually.In the life, is driving the great displacement automobile, purchases including the fluorine air conditioning, the refrigerator, including the phosphorus laundry powder, turns on the air conditioning the low temperature also one side to bind in the summer the quilt, the daylight lamp is being long all night clearly, water cock water drop sound day and night not rest.These influence environment phenomenon common occurrence.This is rebels with ours position. American President Kennedy has said: Do not have to ask the country can make any for us, must ask first oneself can make any for the country.The low-carbon life needs everybody to participation!
The low-carbon life first is one kind of life manner.So long as wants, each person may be able to achieve! The electricity saving, saves gas and oil, the solar terms, saving water, the tree-planting, makes use of waste, by step generation of vehicle.The intravenous drip, in life each aspect, all may choose the low-carbon life the manner.The low-carbon life is also representing one kind healthily, the more natural life style.Little eats counter-season food, the generation by works as season food; Little uses the disposable product, the generation by the duplicated things; Little rides an overhead traveling crane, little sits one time the elevator, the generation rides the bicycle, crawls the staircase, while falls the low-carbon withdrawal, we will have a healthier body and mind.
We believed, so long as everybody works as one, participation together, humanity's tomorrow certainly will be able to be happier! Schoolmates, today, your low-carbn.
Not long after an old Chinese woman came back to China from her visit to her daughter in the States, she went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter gave her. At the bank counter, the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real. It made the old lady out of patience.
At last she could not hold any more, uttering. "Trust me, Sir, and trust the money. They are real US dollars. They are directly from America."
A good teacher-student relationship will make learning enjoyable and interesting for the students and teaching worthwhile for a set up a good teacher-student relationship , a teccher’s behaviour is especially important teacher should motivate the students so that they would like to learn . a good teacher should be patient , frily and strict. remember not to encourage students by pushing or punishing them g too frily may cause students to become lazy and stop working hard. on the other hand , being too strict may frighten students. so a teacher should aviod going to extremes in treating his or her students the demand for the teachers who should take resposibilities for his or her job should encourage students to think indepently and learn to study by themselves and also make his lessons lively and interesting. however, as for the students , they should always show respect for their teachers and their work ents should be eager to learn and willing to put their heart into their study. it’s significant for students to listen to their teccher attentively in class and it’s more important to learn to come up to questions and work out problems in new ways.

Should Smoking in Public Places be Banned?
Nowadays many countries in the world have passed laws to ban smoking in public places. Some smokers claim that their rights are infringed if smoking is forbidden in public places. However, most non-smokers regard the ban as good news. As far as I’m concerned, smoking should be banned in all the public places such as restaurants, theaters and public squares.
On the one hand, smoking is harmful both for smokers themselves and others. It is reported that every year smoking causes millions of death around the world. On the other hand, smoking pollutes the air. Just imagine that you sit in a restaurant full of smoke, how can you enjoy your meal there? Besides, smoking is bad for the elevation of a country’s image in the world.
I believe if smoking is banned in all the public places, most of us will breathe in more fresh and clean air. And the health condition of all the people will be greatly improved.

公共场所是否应该禁止吸烟?
现在世界上许多国家都通过了禁止在公共场所吸烟的法律。一些吸烟者声称，如果公共场所禁止吸烟，他们的权利受到侵犯。然而，大多数非吸烟者认为禁令是好消息。就我而言，在所有的公共场所，如餐馆、剧院和公共广场都应该禁止吸烟。
一方面，吸烟对吸烟者本身和其他人都有害。据报道，每年吸烟导致全世界数百万人死亡。另一方面，吸烟污染空气。想象一下，你坐在一个烟雾弥漫的餐馆里，你怎么能享受那里的饭菜?此外，吸烟不利于一个国家形象的'提升。
我相信，如果在所有公共场所禁止吸烟，我们大多数人都会呼吸到更多清新的空气。全民健康状况将得到极大改善。

Nowadays in China, the Centre tell us theres no deities, and religion is the superstition, backward or spirit-anesthsia. They also tell us that the cosmos consists on materials without deities, that a person has just this life and no reincarnation, that people have no soul and that history is only ruthless competitions and no justice-or-evil retributions. Then we will raise a this society, how can people lead a clean moral life or correct their mistakes? The famous author Dostoyevsky said, If there is no God, I can do anything.
Actually, the Atheism does the effect of rising evil and falling justice. If we are ruled by it, even the law or serious punishment can do nothing.
In my own opinion, the Atheism release the devils of evil and greed in peoples heart. It opens the door to crime.
Since we have the law in text which seems to be a lot. The Police and law enforcer seem to be a lot. However, it cannot cover this fact--the number of death penalty is located on the top one in the world. The
number of corruption does so. The skill of making the fake does so. Putting the poison into food does so. And...so many things does so.
The man who dont have religion can do such things in easy consceince, because deities do not do
any restraint on them.Hense, the nation without religion is really horrible. However, actually, we will change it sooner or later. That will be gratified.
I do not know when, "after 90" and the word seems to have "non-mainstream" "alternative" and "Brain disabled" "narcissistic," etc., or the so-called neutral, or absolute derogatory words painted on the equal sign. The counter only invite more criticism, so we have not any explanation, because the defense is useless, it is true, few can objectively deal with this generation of young people?
In fact, you really do not understand emotion-rich read, and enjoy our life!
You: we are after is the lost generation 90. But I have to tell you: "Confusion can be harvested brilliant." Think about 1200 years ago to get the job of Health Zhang! Expedition lost, how he lost, abjection and the destruction of nearly overwhelmed him. But today, there are who remember the top Daigui Guan, Zong Ma parade of champion names? People remember only from the confusion out of the get the job of Health Zhang and his first eternal Masterpiece's "Maple Bridge at Night."
"After 90" may very confused, but "after 90" is destined not to give up the pursuit of dreams. We will use your strong and brave to write their own life.
When the 11-year-old girl in Beichuan on a wheelchair Lee "jump" from the ballet, the graceful movements, clear eyes, the only remaining right foot that the dog red shoes, like a key moment to open people's Emotional the door.
Last summer vacation I went to Beijing with my family .
First day,we went go the Great Wall because it is the pride of our Chineseand a wonder in the world.
Then we went to the summer palace We saw many beautiful sceneries
there.The next day we went to the Tian'anmen square ,and we tasted Beijing duck.
In the afternoon we went to the bird's nest and the water cube.Though wewere tired we were very happy.
I learned much knowledge that I can't learn in the textbooks so I willnever forget this interesting trip.
Hello everybody!My name is , years old this year. In July I Normal School Art Teacher Fine Arts graduate program at their own expense. As from 97 countries no longer their own expense since health package distribution, so that I and "the most brilliant career under the sun" missed. Fortunately, at River West Malaysia factory complete lack of small teacher, was introduced, small as I completed one year of the temporary supply teachers. Recall that period of time both sweet and really good, although substitute low wages, but listening to students around the side of "teacher", "teacher" is called a stop, looked full of confidence which both eyes, then draw a childish little face, all the unhappiness in life have suddenly vanished. I wanted, if not to positive, as long as the school needs, that is, when the life I willingly substitute teachers. But then, countries started in 1998 and return of temporary and substitute teachers, the school received an oral notice,I harbored feelings reluctantly and quietly left the school.
Today, I would like to re-examination by the aspirations of the rostrum is so urgent! My family a total of three sisters, two sisters who work, in order to take care of the elderly parents, I have to stay around them. I have held a shop, first operational craft, then garments. But no matter how the business is handy, when a teacher is always glorious people yearn for and I would like to make every effort to pursue life-long career. I have to take the test several times, but for various reasons are unable to realize their dreams, but I secretly determined, given the chance, I have been test continue until the ideal realized.
Today, I am, after the test of life, compared to my competitors in terms of age I no longer have an advantage, but I'm more than a child they love, patience and sense of responsibility, more of a mature and self-confidence. The teaching profession is sacred and great, he asked teachers not only must be knowledgeable, but also a noble sentiment. Therefore, when reading normal, I paid great attention to their overall development, to train its own extensive interests, and learned a trade, be good at painting and calligraphy than outside, but also sing, say, will speak. "High school only as a teacher, inspires them for the Fan" in the knowledge-learning and I also paid attention to develop their own high moral character, consciously abide by the law, abide by social morality, no bad habits and behavior. I think these are an educator should have the minimum literacy.
If, I passed the interview, Chengweizhongduo Teacher Groups in成员I shall keep Nuli study and work hard, my hometown of Jiao Yu force ourselves to the cause, never let down, "the human soul," a major k you
Everybody is good, the title of my speech today is "my dream"
Everyone have a dream, and is very good, I am no exception. I have a little dream, when I succeed at the goal, to accomplish more dreams. Beginning, I was a baby, a thought become very strong, like the children in the shaolin temple, martial arts high strength. But I think to leave my parents to far away places to practice martial arts, hard work, a little loathe to give up. During my childhood, I have a dream, I hope I have the money. Adults asked: "little girl, with money you are going to do?" "I'm going to buy bubble gum" "if you have a lot of money?" "I'm going to buy a lot of bubble gum" "if you have money to burn?" "I'll do buy bubblegum factory." Innocent childhood we, indeed, have a kind heart, happiness and happiness is a the same piece of music.
Slowly into the primary school, courses more and more deep, knowledge more and more... Will feel the pressure. Now I have a dream. I hope I don't have a lot of homework to do every day. Play a little deprived, and 40% of the day we imprisoned in the classroom, a lot of time in learning. But in the face of learning, is a kind of fuzzy knowledge. As the saying goes, "a rare confused," the understanding of things, from feudalism to capitalism, the greater the more feel that their views are right. After a busy day and night lessons every day home from school, he was sleepy and tired, no taste to eat food taken late at night. This life is very monotonous, maybe sometimes miss many of my primary school classmates, sometimes with a class or a pair of hazy sleep. Hate rigid school clothes, I never wear it everywhere. On Saturday, Sunday's time is very short, children really want to temper, slowly understand life's too hard, hard and dream ok, I will try to see everyone in to life and got up early to catch late, grasp myself no longer loose. I also want to strive for their dreams.
My speech finished, thank you!
I'm a lifelong traveler. Even as a little kid, I was actually working out that it would be cheaper to go to boarding school in England than just to the best school down the road from my parents' house in California.
我这辈子都是个旅行者。 即使还是一个小孩子的时候， 我便了解，事实上， 去读英国寄宿学校会比 去加州父母家附近 最好的学校就读还来得便宜。
So, from the time I was nine years old I was flying alone several times a year over the North Pole, just to go to school. And of course the more I flew the more I came to love to fly, so the very week after I graduated from high school, I got a job mopping tables so that I could spend every season of my 18th year on a different continent.
所以，当我 9 岁时， 我在一年中，会独自飞行几回， 穿越北极，就只是去上学。 当然，飞得越频繁， 我越是爱上旅行， 所以就在我高中毕业后一周， 我找到一份清理桌子的工作， 为了让自己可以在 18 岁那年， 在地球不同的大陆上， 分别待上一季。
And then, almost inevitably, I became a travel writer so my job and my joy could become one.
接着，几乎不可避免地 我成了一个旅游作家， 使我的工作和志趣 可以结合在一块儿。
And I really began to feel that if you were lucky enough to walk around the candlelit temples of Tibet or to wander along the seafronts in Havana with music passing all around you, you could bring those sounds and the high cobalt skies and the flash of the blue ocean back to your friends at home, and really bring some magic and clarity to your own life.
我真的开始发觉 如果你可以幸运地 漫步于西藏的烛光寺庙， 或者在音乐的缭绕间 悠然信步于哈瓦那海岸， 你便能将那声音、天际 与靛蓝海洋的闪烁光芒 带给你家乡的朋友， 真确地捎来些许神奇， 点亮自身生命。
Except, as you all know, one of the first things you learn when you travel is that nowhere is magical unless you can bring the right eyes to it.
除了，如你们所知， 当旅行时，你学到的第一件事情是 你必须以正确的视角看世界， 否则大地依然黯淡无光。
You take an angry man to the Himalayas, he just starts complaining about the food. And I found that the best way that I could develop more attentive and more appreciative eyes was, oddly, by going nowhere, just by sitting still.
你带一个易怒的男人爬喜马拉雅山， 他只会抱怨那儿的食物。 我发现，有点怪异的是， 最好的让自己可以培养 更专注和更珍惜世界的视角的诀窍是 哪儿都不去，静止于原处即可。
And of course sitting still is how many of us get what we most crave and need in our accelerated lives, a break. But it was also the only way that I could find to sift through the slideshow of my experience and make sense of the future and the past.
当然呆在原地正是我们许多人 寻常所得到的东西， 我们都渴望在快速的生活中获得休息。 但那却是我唯一的方法， 让自己可以重历自身的经验幻灯， 理解未来与过去。
And so, to my great surprise, I found that going nowhere was at least as exciting as going to Tibet or to Cuba.
如此，我惊异地发现， 我发现无所去处 和游览西藏或古巴一样，令人兴奋。
And by going nowhere, I mean nothing more intimidating than taking a few minutes out of every day or a few days out of every season, or even, as some people do, a few years out of a life in order to sit still long enough to find out what moves you most, to recall where your truest happiness lies and to remember that sometimes making a living and making a life point in opposite directions.
无所去处，只不过意谓着 每天花几分钟， 或每季花几天， 甚至，如同有些人所做的， 在生命中花上几年 长久地静思于某处， 寻找感动你最多的一瞬， 回忆你最真实的幸福时刻， 同时记住， 有时候，谋生与生活 彼此是处于光谱线上的两端的。
And of course, this is what wise beings through the centuries from every tradition have been telling us.
当然，这是明智的众生历经几百年 从每个传统中所告诉我们的。
It's an old idea. More than 2,000 years ago, the Stoics were reminding us it's not our experience that makes our lives, it's what we do with it.
这是一个古老的概念。 早在两千多年前， 斯多葛学派提醒我们 并不是我们的经验 成就了我们的生命， 而是我们用那经验做了什么。
Imagine a hurricane suddenly sweeps through your town and reduces every last thing to rubble. One man is traumatized for life.
想象一下，一阵飓风 迅速扑向你的城市， 将所有一切化为废墟。 某个人身心遭受终身顿挫
But another, maybe even his brother, almost feels liberated, and decides this is a great chance to start his life anew. It's exactly the same event, but radically different responses. There is nothing either good or bad, as Shakespeare told us in "Hamlet," but thinking makes it so.
但另一个人，也许甚至是他的兄弟， 却几乎感觉释怀， 并认定，这是一个可以 使自己重获新生的重要机会。 这是同样的事件， 截然不同的回应。 没有什么是绝对的好坏， 正如莎士比亚 在《哈姆雷特》中所告诉我们的， 好坏由思维决定。
And this has certainly been my experience as a traveler. Twenty-four years ago I took the most mind-bending trip across North Korea. But the trip lasted a few days.
good afternoon, my dear teachers and friends,suppose you are in a dark cave alone now. maybe you can not find any hope, you are trembling and frightened. what will you do? what will you say? will you give up? no we should not give up. we should try our best to find hope. so today, i am honored to stand here to share my opinion with you---- let’s say no to give up.
even now i can still see a very special picture in my mind now. i was taking part in the 800-meter race. to be honest, it was not hard at first. i felt energetic and confident. we were all pushing on to the finishing line. one minute, two minutes,… terrible!~ one of the athletes was half the lap ahead of me. so tired and worried i was that my feet could not move any further. “give up?” a low voice came from the bottom of my heart. at the same time i could feel something shining. my friends and even my mom and dad were watching and shouting so loud, “come on! never give up!” strangely, my body kept going. anyhow i would finish the competition. and i made it.
what about you? when meeting any difficulty, you can not even see any hope at that moment, will you give up? no, let’s say no to give up.
thank you!
Dear students, respected teachers, Hello everyone.
I'm from class 4, grade 5.
The topic of my speech today is "fire safety, start with me".
Fire is a natural phenomenon. Tame fire is a friend of mankind. It brings light and warmth to people and promotes human civilization and social progress. However, if the fire is out of control and leads to fire, it will cause huge losses to people's lives and property.
According to statistics, there were more than 140000 fires in China in 19xx, with more than 7000 casualties, of which 8% were caused by children playing with fire. It can be seen how important it is for students to understand and master some fire control knowledge and reduce and prevent fire.
(1) Play with fire
Many students are new to fire and often play games with fire behind their teachers and parents. Some ignite paper and firewood, pile up waste tires and waste plastics in the field, others burn matches, play matchsticks and set off fireworks in the dark, and some burn horse beehives in the field
However, almost every play has the risk of causing fire. Students are young and lack the ability of self-protection, so they should pay attention to:
1. Fully understand the harm and possible serious consequences of playing with fire, and do not play with fire at any time.
2. Lighters, matches and firecrackers are often items that induce children to play with fire. Don't carry these things on your body at ordinary times.
3. Students should supervise and remind each other. If students play with fire, they should stop it immediately, report to teachers and parents, and criticize and educate them.
(2) Take good care of fire-fighting equipment and keep the passage unblocked
In order to prevent major fire accidents, people have set up fire-fighting equipment in many places. Once these equipment are misappropriated or damaged, people will be helpless in case of fire.
1. Do not move, misappropriate or damage fire hydrants, water guns, water hoses, fire extinguishers and shovels, pickaxes, hooks, sandboxes, buckets, etc. specially used for fire fighting.
2. Modern shopping malls, hotels, libraries and many other public places have red fire alarm buttons installed on the walls. Students must not press it at will.
3. The stairway is a way for people to escape in case of fire, and it is also the only way to rescue the trapped people in the fire site. Be sure to keep it unobstructed. Do not store bicycles and pile up sundries in these places.
My speech is over. Thank you.
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 diverse. 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.
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。
Hi，everyone.Today my topic is about environmental protection.
Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded.
We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive.
Pollution has been a serious problem for a certain time around the world. There are many causes for it. Transportation is the main factor of pollution. When the waste gas from cars is released, the air is polluted. People breathing in the polluted air can develop respiratory disease. Another factor is that
people throw their garbage everywhere. All kinds of garbage not only spoil the splendid environment, but also cause environmental pollution. Wastewater from factories is also poured into rivers and this causes water pollution
Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.
Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.
OK，we have known that we can prevent pollution if everyone makes the efforts. So，let’s do it now . That's it.Thank you everyone!
. 今天，我们的自然环境质量已经成为一个重要问题。世界人口增长如此之快，世界已变得过于拥挤。
我们正在利用我们的自然资源，同时污染的危险化学品的环境。如果我们继续做这个地球上，生活无法生存。
污染已经成为一定时期内时间范围内的一个严重问题。 原因很多，交通玉树是主要原因，当汽车排出废气时，空气就被污染了，人们呼吸了被污染的空气，会导致呼吸道疾病。 另外一个原因就是人们随处乱扔垃圾，不仅破坏了美观的环境，还污染了环境。工业废水也排入河流，引起水污染。
有关人士取得了一些在环境保护方面的进展。许多国家的政府已建立了法律，保护空气，森林和海洋资源，并停止对环境的污染。
但更应采取措施来解决环境问题。人们应该进一步的教育，认识到问题的重要性，使用现代节育方法，以保护我们的天然资源和循环利用我们的产品。我们相信，我们可以有一个更加美好，更清洁的地方。
This year's summer vacation was most enjoyable. I spent fifteen days helping my grandparents doing farm work in the countryside， where I saw mountains and fields covered with green plants. Sometimes I went swimming in the river to the west of the village， the water in which was quite clear.
I kept a diary every day. Besides doing farm work， I help the children in the neighborhood with their lessons. All of them showed much interest in English. They could read and write well， but they could hardly understand simple English. So every day in the morning I spent about two hours helping them improve their listening and spoken English. They all made great progress. Their parents all thought highly of me. I now realize that knowledge is very much needed in the countrysideThis year's summer vacation was most enjoyable.

Should smoking be banned?
Different people have different opinions. Somesmokers think smoking is a kind of enjoyment, andthey could live without food but will die withoutsmoking. Also they said they have freedom ofsmoking and it has nothingto do with others.However a lot of non-smokers don't agree. In theiropinion, smoking is harmful to not onlysmokersthemselves but also public health especially thewoman and children. Therefore, many coutries have worked out lots to forbid smoking in publicplaces, such as cinemas, hospitals, stations etc. Nowadays, smokersmake up one quarter of theworld's population. If the problem of smoking is not dealt with seriously, human health will bein danger. So smoking should be banned in no time.
An unforgettable travel experienceThere has been a long time since I came back from Hainan—wowhainan is such a wonderful place that I will never forget it .It‘s really a good place where gave me a rather good impression. I feel so wonderful during the journey as I have experienced a lot of things for the first time.
In January 7th ---the first day of my journey the fluttering snowflakes diffused over Changzhou. I first took the train to shanghai then took the plane to Hainan in Pudong airport. Although it’s my second time to take plane I felt even more excited than the first time. When flying I found that I was flying over the cloud of different types and colors. The sky is also brighter and clearer than that I had ever seen. Soon we arrived in Meilan airport in Haikou the climate is totally different from that in Changzhou It was warm there and we could see coconut trees everywhere.After 3 days competition I went to BoAo where is famous for its forum.
It was my first time to experience the sea and the beach in the sunshine. When sitting on the cruise I could clearly see the ocean waves pushing the windows of the cruise. It seemed that I was surrounded by the waves and the crystal water.
I felt as if a fish which had been living in the sea happily. Then we land on the beach. The sand on the beach was so soft that it was cosy to lie on the beach. I tried searching for the shells on the beach but failed. The beach was totally different from what I heard before as there was nothing except footsteps on the beach. In the afternoon I played football on beach and scored a goal with my new friends from all around China.
It was really interesting and challenging.The next day I went to Haikou. I first visited the tomb of Hairui an officer in Qing dynasty who was famous for rectitude. I think he should be the role model of every person. In the afternoon I went to the geological park of volcano. A lot of stones of different shapes came into views. When arriving the top of the park it seemed that the while city was under my view. Also I had seen plenty of interesting and rare types of the plants.
I also got into a small hole in the park it is said that the hold was exactly the original hole where maqma came from. But the volcano had stopped from erupting for thousands of years.I can’t forget this trip not only does it give me a lot of joy knowledge and good memory but also it give me a chance to make friends with people from different fart in China. By enjoying the excellent scenery I think I have fallen in love with this beautiful city. I will cherish this experience.

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 amstanding here giving my speech is somehow also success.
However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes verycomplicated. 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.
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!

thanksgiving day is the most truly american of the national holidays in the united states and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
in 1620, the settlers, or pilgrims, they sailed to america on the may flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. after a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy november, what is now plymouth, massachusetts.
during their first winter, over half of the settlers died of[1] starvation or epidemics. those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
all summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. and therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the lord be fixed[2]. years later, president of the united states proclaimed the fourth thursday of november as thanksgiving day every year. the celebration of thanksgiving day has been observed on that date until today.
the pattern of the thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. the big family dinner is planned months ahead. on the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. there will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. the best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. they have been the most traditional and favorite food on thanksgiving day throughout the years.
everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing[3] to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. but as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on[4] the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued[5] blessings.

proposed to borrow his tape to listen, He did not agree.One time when was out,we got the tape under the pillow and put it in the recorder,After we listened to it,it seemed that there was not any voice in it,We are puzzled what he was dealing with the blank tape every night.

Mr. Speaker, members of the 77th Congress:
I address you, the members of this new Congress, at a moment unprecedented in the history of the union. I use the word “unprecedented” because at no previous time has American security been as seriously threatened from without as it is today.
Since the permanent formation of our government under the Constitution in 1789, most of the periods of crisis in our history have related to our domestic affairs. And, fortunately, only one of these-the four-year war between the States-ever threatened our national unity. Today, thank God, 130,000,000 Americans in forty-eight States have forgotten points of the compass in our national unity.
It is true that prior to 1914 the United States often has been disturbed by events in other continents. We have even engaged in two wars with European nations and in a number of undeclared wars in the West Indies, in the Mediterranean and in the Pacific, for the maintenance of American rights and for the Principles of peaceful commerce. But in no case has a serious threat been raised against our national safety or our continued independence.
What I seek to convey is the historic truth that the United States as a nation has at all times maintained opposition-clear, definite opposition-to any attempt to lock us in behind an ancient Chinese wall while the procession of civilization went past. Today, thinking of our children and of their children, we oppose enforced isolation for ourselves or for any other part of the Americas.
That determination of ours, extending over all these years, was proved, for example, in the early days during the quarter century of wars following the French Revolution. While the Napoleonic struggle did threaten interests of the United States because of the French foothold in the West Indies and in Louisiana, and while we engaged in the War of 1812 to vindicate our right to peaceful trade, it is nevertheless clear that neither France nor Great Britain nor any other nation was aiming at domination of the whole world.
And in like fashion, from 1815 to 1914-ninety-nine years-no single war in Europe or in Asia constituted a real threat against our future or against the future of any other American nation.
Except in the Maximilian interlude in Mexico, no foreign power sought to establish itself in this hemisphere. And friendly strength; it is still a friendly strength.
Even when the World War broke out in 1914 it seemed to contain only small threat of danger to our own American future. But as time went on, as we remember, the American people began to visualize what the downfall of democratic nations might mean to our own democracy.
We need not overemphasize imperfections in the peace of Versailles. We need not harp on failure of the democracies to deal with problems of world reconstruction. We should remember that the peace of 1919 was far less unjust than the kind of pacification which began even before Munich, and which is being carried on under the new order of tyranny that seeks to spread over every continent today.
The American people have unalterably set their faces against that tyranny.
I suppose that every realist knows that the democratic way of life is at this moment being directly assailed in every part of the world-assailed either by arms or by secret spreading of poisonous propaganda by those who seek to destroy unity and promote discord in nations that are still at peace.
During sixteen long months this assault has blotted out the whole pattern of democratic life in an appalling number of independent nations, great and small. And the assailants are still on the march, threatening other nations, great and small.
Therefore, as your President, performing my constitutional duty to “give to the Congress information of the state of the union,” I find it unhappily necessary to report that the future and the safety of our country and of our democracy are overwhelmingly involved in events far beyond our borders.
Armed defense of democratic existence is now being gallantly waged in four continents. If that defense fails, all the population and all the resources of Europe and Asia, Africa and Australia will be dominated by conquerors. And let us remember that the total of those populations in those four continents, the total of those populations and their resources greatly exceeds the sum total of the population and the resources of the whole of the Western Hemisphere-yes, many times over.
In times like these it is immature- and, incidentally, untrue-for anybody to brag that an unprepared America, single-handed and with one hand tied behind its back, can hold off the whole world.
No realistic American can expect from a dictator’s peace international generosity, or return of true independence, or world disarmament, or freedom of expression, or freedom of religion-or even good business. Such a peace would bring no security for us or for our neighbors. Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
