关于耐心的优秀英语演讲稿(精选32篇)
Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it .
I want to be a teacher when I listen to my teacher carefully. I think I can be a teacher when I grow up. I can help many students learn things well. I can play with my students, too. So we are good friends. I want to be a doctor when I see many doctors save their patients. To be a doctor is really great. I think I can be a doctor when I grow up. Then I can help many people out of danger. I will be the happiest girl in the world. I want to be a reporter when I watch TV every evening. We can get lots of important information from them. They make the world smaller and also make us happy. I would like to be a reporter when I grow up. And I can learn a lot about China and the other countries around the world. I can meet many superstars as well. I have lots of dreams. I think my dreams can come true one day, because there’s an old saying “where there is a will, there is a way.”
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. Pollution is, in fact, threatening our existence.
The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution. I hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.
全世界的环境问题变得越来越严重。例如汽车污染的空气影响了人们的呼吸,工厂释放污染的气体,山上的树木被砍伐,污水不断被排人河里。另外,无论我们走到哪里,到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。事实上,污染正威胁我们的生存。
地球是我们的家园,我们有责任为我们自己和我们的后代去照顾好它。庆幸的是,愈来愈多的人们已经意识到这些问题。政府已经采取了很多措施去解决这些问题,法律已被通过以制止污染。我希望这些问题在不远的将来能得到解决,我们的家园变得越来越好。
Kobe Bryant is the youngest child and only son of Joe and Pam Bryant.His parents named him after a kind of steak:the famous beef of Kobe,Japan,which they saw on a restaurant menu.
At the age of si_,Kobe,his parents and two older sisters,Shaya and Sharia,moved to Italy,where his father began playing professional basketball.He became accustomed to the lifestyle and became fluent in Italian.At an early age,he learned to play soccer and his favorite team was AC Milan.
Bryant once said that if he had stayed in Italy,he would have stuck with soccer and would have tried to become a pro soccer player.In 1991,the Bryants moved back to the United States.A spectacular high school career at Lower Merion High School in the Philadelphia suburb of Lower Merion,brought national recognition.
While his SAT score of 1080[2] would have ensured his basketball scholarship to various top-tier colleges,the 17-year-old Bryant made the controversial decision to go directly to the NBA.
Thanks!
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.
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。
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call ithard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.Thefault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You mayperhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.Thesetting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as fromthe rich man\'s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I donot see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheeringthoughts,as in a palace.The town\'s poor seem to me often to live the mostindependent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive withoutmisgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but itoften happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonestmeans.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a gardenherb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes orfriends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell yourclothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱,你要面对它生活,不要躲避它,更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候,倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活,尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里,你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上,像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前,积雪同在早春融化。我只看到,一个从容的人,在哪里也像在皇宫中一样,生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人,我看,倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大,所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的,不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活,他们是毫不超脱的,毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样,无论是新的朋友或新的衣服,来麻烦你自己。找旧的,回到那里去。万物不变,是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你的思想。
Dear teachers and students
hello everyone!
I'm . It's a great honor to stand here and express my personal opinions. The topic of my speech today is "learning methods should be suitable for yourself".
After reading the book "learn to learn and learn to be a man", I learned a lot of learning methods and understood the importance of learning methods through the small stories inside. But with good learning methods, everyone can say a few, and normal people can do it. Why is the achievement gap still so large? I don't want to repeat the truth. I just want to say what I think.
What I feel most is that the learning method should be suitable for myself. I am not a hard-working person, but I have always maintained good grades, thanks to the fact that I have found a suitable learning method. When I was just promoted to junior high school, my parents and teachers taught me that junior high school is not much more than primary school. I have to work harder. I began to devote a lot of time to study, spend a lot of time preparing and reviewing, and do my homework seriously. But I don't know why, I feel very hard. I tried to increase the time and effort, but it was even more difficult. I calmed down and carefully analyzed my situation. I found that it was due to improper methods that I had difficulty in learning. I have been blindly following the so-called "good method", ignoring my actual situation. My advantage is strong acceptance, good memory and fast learning. I spend a lot of time and energy preparing and reviewing those familiar knowledge, and I'm tired of dealing with the homework that doesn't make any sense to me. It's strange that I don't work hard. I immediately adjusted the focus of study, put improving classroom efficiency first, and achieved twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, there are wins and losses, and there are high and low. What we can do is to persevere and go all out. Don't just focus on the results and have a clear conscience.
Finally, I wish teachers good health and students learning progress.
My speech is over!
Thank you!
i have the answer to a question that we've all asked. the question is, why is it that the letter x represents the unknown? now i know we learned that in math class, but now it's everywhere in the culture -- the x prize, the x-files, project x, tedx. where'd that come from?
about six years ago i decided that i would learn arabic, which turns out to be a supremely logical language. to write a word or a phrase or a sentence in arabic is like crafting an equation, because every part is extremely precise and carries a lot of information. that's one of the reasons so much of what we've come to think of as western science and mathematics and engineering was really worked out in the first few centuries of the common era by the persians and the arabs and the turks.
this includes the little system in arabic called al-jebra. and al-jebr roughly translates to “the system for reconciling disparate parts.“ al-jebr finally came into english as algebra. one example among many.
the arabic texts containing this mathematical wisdom finally made their way to europe -- which is to say spain -- in the 11th and 12th centuries. and when they arrived there was tremendous interest in translating this wisdom into a european language.
but there were problems. one problem is there are some sounds in arabic that just don't make it through a european voice box without lots of practice. trust me on that one. also, those very sounds tend not to be represented by the characters that are available in european languages.
here's one of the culprits. this is the letter sheen, and it makes the sound we think of as sh -- “sh.“ it's also the very first letter of the word shalan, which means “something“ just like the the english word “something“ -- some undefined, unknown thing.
now in arabic, we can make this definite by adding the definite article “al.“ so this is al-shalan -- the unknown thing. and this is a word that appears throughout early mathematics, such as this 10th century derivation of proofs.
the problem for the medieval spanish scholars who were tasked with translating this material is that the letter sheen and the word shalan can't be rendered into spanish because spanish doesn't have that sh, that “sh“ sound. so by convention, they created a rule in which they borrowed the ck sound, “ck“ sound, from the classical greek in the form of the letter kai.
later when this material was translated into a common european language, which is to say latin, they simply replaced the greek kai with the latin x. and once that happened, once this material was in latin, it formed the basis for mathematics textbooks for almost 600 years.
but now we have the answer to our question. why is it that x is the unknown? x is the unknown because you can't say “sh“ in spanish. (laughter) and i thought that was worth sharing.
Good morning , everyone .When it comes to the teachers’ essential qualities ,I believe that most of answers will appear the word “patience”. Now, let me begin to give you my speech “patience”.
To begin with , “what is the patience ?” The definition of the word “patience” is to tolerate delay , which implies self control and forbearance as opposed to wanting what we want when we want it. How many times have we jumped the gun and found out it would have been better to tolerate delay or had self control? What did we miss out on? Did we hurt someone we love because of lack of patience? Having patience will heal the wounds and it will work itself out fine. Patience is not only a virtue but a necessy for a happy existence that we must be more patience in our daily lives. Secondly , there are so many benefits of developing patience .It not only helps us reduces stress levels ,but also helps develop understanding, empathy and compassion .Furthermore ,with enough patience ,we may take enough time to assess the situation, see the big picture, and weigh any pros and cons ,which contributes to our better decisions.
Someone may ask but how to become more patient .In my opinion ,many steps can we take .One way ,we may practice thinking before you speak ,if we’re patient, pause and go over what we want to say, we can avoid hurting or offending others .On the other way ,sometimes we may make a plan ahead and someway slow down our steps .Anyway ,what is the most important thing is that in anytime we must believe that there is an advantage behind every misfortune, that there is a silver lining.
As it for me ,a teacher in the nearly future ,I think I should be have faith that I can make all of them understand what I taught .If some of them wouldn't follow me ,I will be also patient to analyse knowledge to them in details.
Let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today. “Mum, I'm sorry, but I need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year.”
“Mum, it is my friend's birthday tomorrow, I must buy her a present.”
“Mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? ”
Take. Take. Take. The relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. I know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything I need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. I never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, “Will there be a time that you'll say you have taken enough from me? ”
Like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. We enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. We take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. We appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. As we tragically learned from last summer's floods. we cannot continue our carelessness.
failure is a common thing in one's life. almost everyone experiences failure in his life. when one fails in his attempt in doing something, he often feels upset. some people may yield to failure and flinch from it. but others will stick to and achieve the final success.
success is what everyone expects. it may lead to fame and glory. when one suc ceeds in doing something, he gets so excited that he often neglects all the unsuccessful at tempts he has done.
as the old saying goes, "failure teaches success." it is true that failure is an impor tam factor toward success. the way to success is full of various difficulties and obstacles. many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failure. and only those successes which have been achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy.
hi, my name is . as a secretary in the fda, i would like to tell yousomething about food safety in the united states in both federal-level andstate-level.
food safety is a scientific discipline describing handling, preparation,and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness. this includes anumber of routines that should be followed to avoid potentially severe healthhazards. food can transmit disease from person to person as well as serve as agrowth medium for bacteria that can cause food poisoning. debates on geneticfood safety include such issues as impact of genetically modified food on healthof further generations and genetic pollution of environment, which can destroynatural biological diversity. in developed countries there are intricatestandards for food preparation, whereas in lesser developed countries the mainissue is simply the availability of adequate safe water, which is usually acritical item.
federal-level regulation
the food and drug administration publishes the food code, a model set ofguidelines and procedures that assists food control jurisdictions by providing ascientifically sound technical and legal basis for regulating the retail andfood service industries, including restaurants, grocery stores and institutionalfoodservice providers such as nursing homes. regulatory agencies at all levelsof government in the united states use the fda food code to develop or updatefood safety rules in their jurisdictions that are consistent with national foodregulatory policy. according to the fda, 48 of 56 states and territories,representing 79% of the u.s. population, have adopted food codes patterned afterone of the five versions of the food code, beginning with the 1993 edition.
“once upon a time,there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess,the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished,each next to day,into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." well, you know the rest. the three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.
and the ending is always the same,finishing with the line "and they live happily every after."
why aren't we tired of something so fanciful,so unrealistic, and, i would say, so unimaginative?how can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? because, i think, it is a typical success story. it is highly philosophical and symbolic. by implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
the story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. the reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. if a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. the term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. but as i understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. to clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
if we changed the rules of football,greatly enlarged the goal and sent away david seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another david, namely david beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. if we further changed the rules by not allowing arsenal's defenders to defend, so that beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. in accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. the sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
the concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. in acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. that's why we greatly admire stephen hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair,he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
i myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright,had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. i could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level i chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. now here i am. if i come out first, it will be a great success for me. if i come out last-i hope this will not be the case-but if i come out last, i will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success,because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of me,it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because i have truly gained by participating.
let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. you my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of
wealth,position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. the ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
thank you.
Most of people think we can do anything if we have money.If youhave muchmoney, you are thought to be successful.If you have no money, you willbelooked down upon.
Money can make us live a rich life, but not necessarily a happylife.Sometimes some people do some bad things in order to make money.So theyaren'thappy because they are always afraid.
We should make money and spend it in a reasonable way.
大多数的人认为如果有钱我们能做任何事。如果你有很多钱,人们会认为你事业有成。如果你没有钱,你会被人看不起。
钱能使我们过上富裕的生活,但我们不一定会快乐。有时有些人为了挣钱会做坏事,因为他们总是害怕,所以他们不快乐。
我们应以合理的方式挣钱和消费。
Money is necessary in our life.We will have a rich life when we havemuchmoney.
Most of people think we can do anything if we have money.I don't thinkso.Some people aren't happy though they have much money, because their moneyisobtained by unjust means.They always live a frightened life.Money oftenmakespeople do bad things, even illegal activities.
We must make money and spend it in a reasonable way.We will be happy.
钱是我们生活中必不可少的东西,当我们有许多钱的时候,我们才能过上富足的生活。
大多数认为只要有钱,我们能做任何事。我认为不是这样。一些人虽然有钱但他们不快乐,因为他们的钱是以不正当的方式得来的,他们总是生活在恐惧中。钱经常使人去做坏事,甚至是违法的行为。
我们必须以合理的方式挣钱、消费,这样我们才会快乐。
With the development of the society, people pay more concern on whetherchoose a high-paying job with long hours or a low-paying job with short hours.There are different opinions on it, and the topic become more and moreconspicuous.
随着社会的发展,人们对是否选择一个高薪却工作时间长还是低报酬而工作短的工作给予了更多的关注。它有不同的意见,这个话题越来越突出。
Every coin has two sides. The two choices have their own advantages anddisadvantages, but I support that a high-paying job with long hours is better.One of the reasons is that I am a workaholic, a high-paying job with long hourscan afford more opportunities to make great progress to challenge myself, andthe success will satisfy my sense of achievement to a great extent. And what Iwant to emphasize is that this is an economic society which requires me to seethe reality clearly. A high-paying job means a high position in the society, soI can get more respect and admiration from others. I should also take on theresponsibility of providing a better life for my family, such as a big house, aprivate car, plenty of food, beautiful clothes, the best education and medicaltreatments and so on. What’s more, in the long run, with a high paying-job, I’llsave up much money for the life in the future, in other words, even though Iretire in old age, I can still give my family an easy life. Last but not least,we are young now, if we don’t work hard, what do we live for when we get old inthe future?
每个硬币都有两面。两种选择都有它的优点和缺点,但我觉得高薪却工作时间长是更好的。其中一个原因是因为我是一个工作狂,一份高薪而工作时间长的工作可以提供更多的机会去取得很大的进步并挑战自我,在很大程度上成功也会满足我的成就感。我想强调的是,这是一个经济型社会,需要我清晰地看清现实。一个高收入的工作意味着社会地位高,所以我可以得到更多他人的尊重和钦佩。我也要负起为我的家人提供更好的生活的责任,如一个大房子,一辆私家车,充足的食物,漂亮的衣服,的教育和医疗等。更重要的是,从长远来看,拥有一个高收入的工作,我可以为将来的生活节省很多钱,换句话说,即使我老了,退休了,我还可以给家人一个安逸的生活。最后但并非最不重要的是我们现在还年轻,如果我们不努力,我们将来变老了该以什么为生呢?
In short, when we are young and strong, working hard is the best choice.Cheer up! Come on!
总之,在我们年轻力壮的时候,努力工作是的选择。打起精神,加油!
人有了钱就会变坏?社会心理学家Paul Piff通过操纵大富翁游戏做了一个有趣的实验,测试人们感到富有时会如何表现。
I want you to, for a moment, think about playing a game of Monopoly, except in this game, that combination of skill, talent and luck that help earn you success in games, as in life, has been rendered irrelevant, because this game's been rigged, and you've got the upper hand。 You've got more money, more opportunities to move around the board, and more access to resources。 And as you think about that experience, I want you to ask yourself, how might that experience of being a privileged player in a rigged game change the way that you think about yourself and regard that other player?
So we ran a study on the U。C。 Berkeley campus to look at exactly that question。 We brought in more than 100 pairs of strangers into the lab, and with the flip of a coin randomly assigned one of the two to be a rich player in a rigged game。 They got two times as much money。 When they passed Go, they collected twice the salary, and they got to roll both dice instead of one, so they got to move around the board a lot more。 (Laughter) And over the course of 15 minutes, we watched through hidden cameras what happened。 And what I want to do today, for the first time, is show you a little bit of what we saw。 You're going to have to pardon the sound quality, in some cases, because again, these were hidden cameras。 So we've provided subtitles。 Rich Player: How many 500s did you have? Poor Player: Just one。
Rich Player: Are you serious。 Poor Player: Yeah。
Rich Player: I have three。 (Laughs) I don't know why they gave me so much。
Paul Piff: Okay, so it was quickly apparent to players that something was up。 One person clearly has a lot more money than the other person, and yet, as the game unfolded, we saw very notable differences and dramatic differences begin to emerge between the two players。 The rich player started to move around the board louder, literally smacking the board with their piece as he went around。 We were more likely to see signs of dominance and nonverbal signs, displays of power and celebration among the rich players。
We had a bowl of pretzels positioned off to the side。 It's on the bottom right corner there。 That allowed us to watch participants' consummatory behavior。 So we're just tracking how many pretzels participants eat。
Rich Player: Are those pretzels a trick?
Poor Player: I don't know。
PP: Okay, so no surprises, people are onto us。 They wonder what that bowl of pretzels is doing there in the first place。 One even asks, like you just saw, is that bowl of pretzels there as a trick? And yet, despite that, the power of the situation seems to inevitably dominate, and those rich players start to eat more pretzels。
Rich Player: I love pretzels。
(Laughter)
PP: And as the game went on, one of the really interesting and dramatic patterns that we observed begin to emerge was that the rich players actually started to become ruder toward the other person, less and less sensitive to the plight of those poor, poor players, and more and more demonstrative of their material success, more likely to showcase how well they're doing。 Rich Player: I have money for everything。 Poor Player: How much is that? Rich Player: You owe me 24 dollars。 You're going to lose all your money soon。 I'll buy it。 I have so much money。 I have so much money, it takes me forever。 Rich Player 2: I'm going to buy out this whole board。 Rich Player 3: You're going to run out of money soon。 I'm pretty much untouchable at this point。
PP: Okay, and here's what I think was really, really interesting, is that at the end of the 15 minutes, we asked the players to talk about their experience during the game。 And when the rich players talked about why they had inevitably won in this rigged game of Monopoly —— (Laughter) — they talked about what they'd done to buy those different properties and earn their success in the game, and they became far less attuned to all those different features of the situation, including that flip of a coin that had randomly gotten them into that privileged position in the first place。 And that's a really, really incredible insight into how the mind makes sense of advantage。
Now this game of Monopoly can be used as a metaphor for understanding society and its hierarchical structure, wherein some people have a lot of wealth and a lot of status, and a lot of people don't。 They have a lot less wealth and a lot less status and a lot less access to valued resources。 And what my colleagues and I for the last seven years have been doing is studying the effects of these kinds of hierarchies。 What we've been finding across dozens of studies and thousands of participants across this country is that as a person's levels of wealth increase, their feelings of compassion and empathy go down, and their feelings of entitlement, of deservingness, and their ideology of self—interest increases。 In surveys, we found that it's actually wealthier individuals who are more likely to moralize greed being good, and that the pursuit of self—interest is favorable and moral。 Now what I want to do today is talk about some of the implications of this ideology self—interest, talk about why we should care about those implications, and end with what might be done。
with a sharp cry, marks the landing a human life, the existence of life mean? when the red sun rises in sky. the twinkling of an eye, the sun will be the golden spread to every corner of the world, everything comes back to the earth - - - - - - it is because of the existence of life; the delicate flowers in green leaves dancing in the dark, fireflies blinking singing, lively campus security [ of ] children rolled on the grass - - - - - - these are for life in the presence of. life everywhere, everywhere. life is too precious! there is a life, have competition and struggle, has a life, has happiness and sadness, with life, have hope and ideal, have a life of love. our life is just like a spring blew flower, the world because of flowery life wonderful! some people live, early life flower withered. as we all know, the most basic human needs -- in addition to the air, water and food needs, is safe. newspapers, television, news content more and more people fear, such as fire, flood, tsunami, earthquake, disaster, accident, terrorist attack, war, violence and so on, we have convinced ourselves living environment is not 100% safe.

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.
Hello everyone!I'm so pround that I stand here to make a speech.Today my topic is "defeat".
The failure is the mother of success.But how many people are actually ableto grasp the mystery?
General speaking, people are afraid of failure.What should we fail toface?The key issues were to fail.We understand and transform the world, thedefeat was inevitable.Brave in face of failure is the only correct way tosuccess of our guide.We can sum up the lesson from failure.After many mistakes,we should be close to success and believe that failure is only temporary.Thefailure of the people tend to be alone, around on his support, even a comfortingword, can add to his great power.
In a word,failure are not terrible. Horrible is you don't have the courageto face defeat feeling!
Thank you for your listening!
It is quite important to be a good listener.Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking.It’s being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond.
Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more amiable person.As you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish,as you simply listen more intently to what is being said,you will feel more relaxed,and so will the people you are talking to.Not only will being a better listener make you a more patient person,but it will also improve your relationship with others because everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.
It is quite easy for you to be a better listener.As long as you for get yourself and imagine yourself in the speaker’s experience to understand the emotion behind the words,and then give your appropriate responses slowly,you will be an endeared listener.

Good morning,dear teacher and my friends!
My name is .I’m a student of Great 7 from middle school. I ’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech today. My topic is “the importance of time”.
Someone says: “Time is money!” But I think time is even more important than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can get it back. However, When time is gone,It will never return no matter how rich you are.
But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time . They spend all day on smorking, drinking and playing.They do not know that wasting time means wasting life.
As to us, a middle schoole student, School time is a very important period for our growing up. We should make full use of it to do something usefull, just like learning different kinds of knowledge , taking exercise for a good health and so on.
In a word , we should save time.Time is limited and so,very precious. It will not return any more when it is gone.
That’s all for my speech.Thank you!
"Maybe you will forget those who shared pleasure with you, but you willremember those who tasted tears with you. " Kahlil Cirbran
Everyone has a lot of friends and he must have his own friendship as well.But usually only when you get into trouble, will you know what the truefriendship is. The friend in need is the friend in deed. Only the real friendswill help you when you are in trouble. If you establish your friendship when youare in trouble, make it go on forever.
Maybe a boy and a girl become good friends. They feel very happy when theyare each other, but other students may think that they have fallen in love. Ifyou were one of them, what would you do? If I were in that position, I would notcare about what anyone else may say. I only care about her feeling. We shouldknow that our friendship is pure without anything bad mixed. Friendship is veryimportant for everyone, so I will let my friendship last forever.
Everyone should know that he can not lose his opposite sex friends. If you donot make friends with your opposite sex classmates, then you have already losthalf of the friends. So you can make friends with all your classmates, and don'tbe shy. You should also pay enough attention to the friendship that you havealready established. Don’t undermine it unless you want to hurt him. You shouldnever try to do so, for if you do that you will lose much in emotion.
Please cherish everything that you have already possessed. Maybe you don'tcare about it now. But when you lose it, you will find that how important itis.
“你也许会忘记那些与你一同笑过的人,但是你将永远记住那些与你一同伤心落泪的人。”---- kahlil Girbran每个人都有很多朋友,也一定有属于他自己的友谊。但是,通常只有当你遇到困难时,你才能知道什么是真正的友谊。患难见真情,只有真正的朋友会在你身处困境时帮助你。如果你在逆境中将友谊建立,那么请让它继续到永远。也许一个女孩和一个男孩成为了好朋友,他们在一起会感到很幸福。但是,其他同学会认为他们相爱了。如果你是其中之一,你会怎么办?如果是我,我将不会在乎别人说什么,我只在乎她的感觉。我们应该明白,我们的友谊是纯洁的,是不含任何杂质的。友谊对每个人都很重要,所以我会让我们的友谊继续下去。每个人都应该明白你不能失去异性的朋友如果你不与异性同学交朋友,那么你就已经失去了一半朋友。所以你可以与你所有的同学交朋友,不要害羞。你同样也应该重视你已经建立的友谊,不要破坏它,除非你想伤害他。不过,请不要去尝试,如果你这么做你会失去太多的感情。请珍惜你所拥有的一切也许你现在并不在乎,但当你失去时你会发现它是多么的重要。
Speaking of reading, many people are excited because reading brings themboth knowledge and entertainment。 By reading, we can learn lots of informationand know our history。 But for some people, reading is not their priority。 Theywill choose to watch movies to have fun。 However, I think people can benefit alot by reading。
说起读书,很多人都很兴奋,读书不仅仅能带给他们知识,而且也能带给他们娱乐。透过读书,我们能得到很多信息,了解我们的历史。但是对于一部分人来说,阅读并不是他们的首选。他们会选取看电影来找乐子。但是,我认为,读书能让我们获益。
First of all, reading can let us know what have happened in history。 Sincehistory is recorded in books, if we read books, then we can not only what havehappened in history but also we can better understand the great figures of theage。
第一,读书能让我们明白历史。历史都被记录在数中,如果我们读书的话,我们不仅仅能了解历史,而且我们也能更加了解时代伟人。
Secondly, reading can enrich our knowledge。 By reading, we can knowdifferent kinds of things, how things happen and how to avoid bad things fromhappening。 Books record a wide range of things about life。 Through reading, wecan know various aspects of life。
第二,读书能让我们丰富我们的知识。透过读书,我们能了解很多事物,了解到事件是怎样发生的,怎样避免不利事件的`发生。书本记录着社会的方方面面。透过读书,我们能了解生活的方方面面的知识。
Thirdly, reading teaches us skills。 There are so many books about how tolearn a certain language, how to get a good job, how to bee popular in yourcircle, how to cook and so on。 Thus, these kinds of books can make us moreskillful if we do a certain thing。
第三,我们能透过读书来学习一些技能。很多书都是写关于怎样学会一门语言,怎样找到一份好工作,怎样让自我在圈子中更受欢迎以及怎样烹饪等之类的东西。透过这些书,我们能在做事的时候更加熟练。
All in all, we can find lots of benefits through reading。
总之,我们能够透过读书收获很多。
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.It is my honor to be here to present my speech to you about the role of humanism in today's technologically advanced world.
What's the role of humanism today?At the first sight of this topic,I felt that I had a vision of walking along a dark passage to our destination,an ideal harmonious society.Humanism,is a lighthouse on this way to guide us in case we are getting lost,together with modern technology,we are well on our way toward our destination.
Like other young men,I love the internet.To be honest,I could not imagine a life without internet,which is a blessing taken by high technology.To some extent,it represents the whole world to me.I have registered some accounts on MySpace,Facebook,Twitter,Renren,Weibo and so forth.It's really amazing because these network technologies make it possible for people all over the world to communicate with each other freely and conveniently.
However,there are two sides to the argument,so what of the internet.While it could lighten our life,it could also turn into evil.It started with some of these arguments—well,it is argument at first—then the situation seems out of control:people start to curse and scold each other just because they have different opinions.People became more and more aggressive,seditious,and insulting,and later on,with the "Human-flesh searching" involved,the situation gets even worse.Those are what we called "Network of violence",they are still happening,and still going on.
It seems like that the internet frees us from the burden of our public identities so we should be our true,authentic selves online,except it turns out—who wouldn't see that coming—that our true,authentic selves aren't that fantastic.
The reason we define ourselves as human is because we have some natural instincts to care for and respect other people.In other words,we are pursuing the universal brotherhood,a peaceful world of free minds.It is humanism that keeps our society moving on and on.
As one of the most important inventions in our time,internet has changed the way of our life tremendously.It has changed the way we express and communicate with each other.It has made it possible for us to meet each other without distance; it has made it easier for us to know and to comprehend each other.
However not only some changes has it brought,but also brought on some has anarchy in its DNA,It's always been about anonymity,playing with your own identity and messing with other people's heads.It is a challenge,it challenges our self-discipline that we are proud of,it challenges our humanity that we are proud of.Sure technology promises us more freedom but it doesn't mean that we should leave our civilization behind.
That's why we need a guideline to light up our path,to lead us.In this technologically advanced world,what we need to do is to avoid the misuse of technology,but to take it as an accelerator,a lube or a navigator on our high way to create a better world,a harmonious society.
So don't ever forget our aspiration,and always have faith in humanism,and we are going to make it happen,in this technologically advanced world! Yes! We can!
Thank you,ladies and gentlemen.
Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.” (Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.
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 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.
What makes ordinary life extraordinary, what makes ordinary people less common, and what makes us good habits? Only one answer is civilization!
Civilization is a beautiful word, and he has given us education "civilized travel", "civilization", set off firecrackers "civilization" and so on many things, but as the changes of The Times, some people call "civilized" gradually forgotten.
China, one of the four ancient civilizations in the history of mankind, is one of the most famous and civilized countries in the world. The world has inherited a great many traditions and virtues. From "kong rong to pear, sima guang" to "chairman MAO's honorist", from "head cantilever, conical stock" to "premier zhou to the rise of China"... As a third grader, I must pass on these spirits and strive to be the vanguard of The Times.
In school, I will listen carefully, study hard, do not do small movements in class, finish homework on time, help classmates sweep the floor, help teachers to draw water, send and receive homework to be good teacher's helper.
At home, I will help my mother sweep the floor, mop the floor, relieve the burden of my mother, and help my father buy things to become a civilized primary school student.
It is said that the custom of Spring Festival started in when people offered sacrifice to ancestors in the last month of Chinese lunar calendar. At that time, people prepared the sacrifice by doing thorough cleaning, having bathes and so on. Later, people began to worship different deities as well on that day. It is the time that almost all the farm works were done and people have free time. The sacrificing time changed according to the farming schedule and was not fixed until the Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD). The customs of worshipping deities and ancestors remains even though the ceremonies are not as grand as before. It is also the time that spring is coming, so people held all kinds of ceremonies to welcome it.
There are many legends about Spring Festival in Chinese culture. In folk culture, it is also called “guonian” (meaning “passing a year”). It is said that the “nian” (year) was a strong monster which was fierce and cruel and ate one kind of animal including human being a day. Human beings were scared about it and had to hide on the evening when the “nian” came out. Later, people found that “nian” was very scared about the red color and fireworks. So after that, people use red color and fireworks or firecrackers to drive away “nian”. As a result, the custom of using red color and setting off fireworks remains.
Preparing the New Year starts 7 days before the New Year’s Eve. According to Chinese lunar calendar, people start to clean the house on Dec. 24, butcher on Dec. 26th and so on. People have certain things to do on each day. These activities will end Jan. 15th of the lunar calendar.
My speech is over. thank you.
low-carbon life
—— a harmonious world
r ecently , low-carbon life becomes a high-frequency and fashionable word which gets the greatest concern in the world . low-carbon life means a lifestyle that people do their best to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. as to me, when i heard this word at first time, i just felt apathetic, but things came different when the following news hit me accidentally.
on nov.11th , the singles' day,there was a very special collective wedding ceremony entitled “zero release of carbon” at the seaside of shenzhen,where 37 pairs of new couples held their marriage oath activity and signed their names on a board to show their willingness to be the environmental guardian .
no hot food but buffet, no wedding limousines but bicycles, no fireworks but pigeons releasing. i was moved in a great sense by all these.
what impressed me most was an old couple who was over 60 years old. they appeared to be the most passionate one, expressing their solid determination to follow the lifestyle forever, which made me a bit ashamed. look! the low-carbon life is so close to us, even the old couples can do it, why can’t we young students? we should say, yes we can!
take me as an example, i’m a meat lover. every meal without meat, i feel uncomfortable, but recently, i changed my dietary habit . please allow me to ask you a question: do you know what is the main cause of the global warming?okay, let me tell you. those people who eat meat!that’s true! when we produce one kilogram meat, we will exhaust 36.4 kilogram co2 just like we drive the car for three hours. if every chinese eat meat one kilogram less than before, the emissions of the co2 will be 47,320,000,000 kilograms less than before! unbelievable!
eating habit is only one side, as a matter of fact, low-carbon life exists in all the aspects in our daily life. do not buy too many clothes、do not use lift if possible、 do not watch too much tv、 do use the recycled paper、do use the energy-saving lamp、do use the e-book and many many things ,remember , low-carbon is just around you !
lately , from nov.29th to dec. 10th , the united nations climate change conferencestaged in cancun , mexico , aiming to put the bali roadmap into practice and make it legally binding .besides , the international community has also taken effective measures to control the damage of our environment , leading to the foundation of various treaties like the united nations framework convention on climate change 、the kyoto protocol and so on.
in a word , as a college student,we should cultivate our awareness of energy saving; we should put it into practice; and we should help our
families and friends to live a low-carbon life. only by doing so can we hope to create a world where all humans enjoy a harmonious life. yes, we can!
Friendshi
友谊
Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
我们每个人,不论富裕还是贫穷,至少应该有一个或两个好朋友。我的朋友会听我说,如果我想说话,要擦去我的眼睛当我哭泣,会照顾我在我生病时,我的朋友将与我一起肩并肩在这人生旅程。
Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
友谊是一种财宝在我们的生活。它实际上是像一瓶酒,越久保留,这将是更香甜。它就像一杯茶。当我们口渴时,这将是对我们最好的选择,但当我们有足够的时间去玩得很开心的,它也是最芬芳的饮料。
All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
我们所有的人都要花点时间来个人的生活。我们必须找到机会来表达我们的感情和爱。当住在我们的朋友,我们可以放松自己完全。我们可以做任何我们想要的,我们能一起大声笑,一起交谈,甚至哭泣下。我应该说,是我们最好的朋友一起是最精彩的时刻,我们的生活。
