someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. i dont know who wrote these words, but ive always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. we are all in the position of the farmers. if we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

we are young. “how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful question. to answer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” youth is not a time of life, its a state of mind. its not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. its the matter of the will. its the freshness of the deep spring of life.

youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals. years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .

whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart theres a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .

a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. several days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture. i learnt a lot there. id like to share it with all of you. lets show our right palms. we can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. i have a short line of life. what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way. well, lets make a fist. where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell me.yeah, it is in our hands. it is held in ourselves.

we all want the future to be better than the past. but the future ca n go better itself. dont cry because it is over, smile because it happened. from the past, weve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. weve learnt that we cant choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. failure doesnt mean you dont have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. failure doesnt mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.

as what i said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. the past has gone. nothing we do will change it. but the future is in front of us. believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. and from today on, lets be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “we are the world, we are the future.”

winston churchill presented his sinews of peace, (the iron curtain speech), at westminster college in fulton, missouri on march 5, 1946 .

president mccluer, ladies and gentlemen, and last, but certainly not least, the president of the united states of america:

i am very glad indeed to come to westminster college this afternoon, and i am complimented that you should give me a degree from an institution whose reputation has been so solidly established. the name "westminster" somehow or other seems familiar to me. i feel as if i have heard of it before. indeed now that i come to think of it, it was at westminster that i received a very large part of my education in politics, dialectic, rhetoric, and one or two other things. in fact we have both been educated at the same, or similar, or, at any rate, kindred establishments.

it is also an honor, ladies and gentlemen, perhaps almost unique, for a private visitor to be introduced to an academic audience by the president of the united states. amid his heavy burdens, duties, and responsibilities--unsought but not recoiled from--the president has traveled a thousand miles to dignify and magnify our meeting here to-day and to give me an opportunity of addressing this kindred nation, as well as my own countrymen acrothe ocean, and perhaps some other countries too. the president has told you that it is his wish, as i am sure it is yours, that i should have full liberty to give my true and faithful counsel in these anxious and baffling times. i shall certainly avail myself of this freedom, and feel the more right to do so because any private ambitions i may have cherished in my younger days have been satisfied beyond my wildest dreams. let me however make it clear that i have no official mission or status of any kind, and that i speak only for myself. there is nothing here but what you see.

i can therefore allow my mind, with the experience of a lifetime, to play over the problems which beset us on the morrow of our absolute victory in arms, and to try to make sure with what strength i have that what has gained with so much sacrifice and suffering shall be preserved for the future glory and safety of mankind.

ladies and gentlemen, the united states stands at this time at the pinnacle of world power. it is a solemn moment for the american democracy. for with primacy in power is also joined an awe-inspiring accountability to the future. if you look around you, you must feel not only the sense of duty done but also you must feel anxiety lest you fall below the level of achievement. opportunity is here and now, clear and shining for both our countries. to reject it or ignore it or fritter it away will bring upon us all the long reproaches of the after-time. it is necessary that the constancy of mind, persistency of purpose, and the grand simplicity of decision shall rule and guide the conduct of the english-speaking peoples in peace as they did in war. we must, and i believe we shall, prove ourselves equal to this severe requirement.

president mccluer, when american military men approach some serious situation they are wont to write at the head of their directive the words "over-all strategic concept". there is wisdom in this, as it leads to clarity of thought. what then is the over-all strategic concept which we should inscribe to-day? it is nothing lethan the safety and welfare, the freedom and progress, of all the homes and families of all the men and women in all the lands. and here i speak particularly of the myriad cottage or apartment homes where the wage-earner strives amid the accidents and difficulties of life to guard his wife and children from privation and bring the family up the fear of the lord, or upon ethical conceptions which often play their potent part.

亲爱的老师、同学们：

大家好！

我们的时间为什么一去不复返呢？是有人偷了他们吗？那是谁？又把时间藏在何处了呢？是他们自己逃走了吗？现在又逃到哪里去了呢？有这样两句名言：赢得时间者赢得一切；今朝有事今朝做，明朝可能阻碍多。这两句话都是告诉我们要珍惜时间。珍惜时间，想必大家都知道是什么意思吧。珍惜时间就是节约时间，合理的利用时间。

时间对我们每个人都很重要，时间不会为谁停留。当你早晨洗脸、刷牙的时候，时间从水盆里溜走了；当你吃饭的时候，时间又从饭碗里溜走了；当你睡觉时，时间又从你的睡梦中溜走了。你想挽留时间吗？那就得靠你把握时间。珍惜时间，并不是时间会多给你一份。一天有24个小时，这是无法改变的。合理的利用时间，就是珍惜时间，不让时间一分一秒的白白的浪费掉。

时间对每个人都是公平的，它不会多给谁一分，也不会少给谁一秒。但为什么在相同的时间里，人们所得到的结果不一样呢？比如说：一个班的同学，每天在一起生活，学习，同样的环境，同样的课程，同样的老师，那为什么有的人学习好，而有的人差呢？那是因为有的人充分利用好课堂上的每一分钟，专心听讲，认真思考，甚至把别人玩的时间用在了读书上，所以能够取得好成绩。

花儿谢了有再开的时候，草儿枯了有在绿的时候，而时间呢？它还有再来的时候吗？时间是一去不复返的，所以不要把今日的事拖到明天去做，明天还有明天的`事情，这样明日复明日，何时才是尽头，况且人的一生能有几个明天。

人的生命只有一次，它是宇宙间最珍贵的，最值得珍惜的，正所谓：一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴。时间即使短暂的，有事永恒的，时间的存在本身就是一种希望，所以不要害怕时间的无情，也不要感慨时间的短暂，我们应该珍惜自己所拥有的岁月光阴，随着分歧的节拍乘风破浪，让生命之舟与时间一起扬帆远航。

希望大家能从现在做起，珍惜自己的每一分每一秒。莫等到头发花白时，再去悔恨自己当初没能珍惜时间而一事无成。只要我们现在珍惜时间，便会拥有的幸福。

谢谢大家！

尊敬的各位老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好！

大学的时间是非常的珍贵的，四年的时间也并不漫长，在我们还没有意识到的时候，时间就会悄悄的流逝了，等到我们意识到了之后后悔也来不及了。所以我们要利用好自己的大学四年的时间，这样在毕业之后才不会后悔，这样才能够在毕业的时候比现在的自己更优秀，在社会的竞争中有一些优势。我们不应该浪费自己的宝贵的时间，而是要充分的利用起来，不管你想做什么事情，我相信只要我们利用好的这几年的时间，在四年之后你一定会有收获的。

同学们，你们有没有思考过在大学的这四年中自己要完成一个什么目标呢？有没有为了完成自己的这个目标做一些努力呢？我想很多的同学的答案应该是否定的吧。我看到的是同学们把大把大把的时间都花在了打游戏上，花在了睡觉上，在上课的时候都不会认真的听讲，更别说在课余时间会花时间去学习了。现在你可能觉得自己这样的生活非常的幸福，你可能觉得自己现在的决定是正确的。但当你在毕业的时候看到你跟别人的差距之后，你就真的不会后悔吗？

看看那些从大一开始就有了目标并且一直都在努力的同学，他们在毕业的时候都是非常的优秀的，跟我们的差距也是非常的大的。但是大家在大一时候的起点都是一样的，大家高考的成绩是差不多的，可以仔细的去思考一下，为什么别人在大四的时候就变得那么的优秀了，其实就是他们利用好了大学四年的时间为自己的未来而努力。我们不应该再沉浸在每天打游戏的生活中了，应该要利用一点时间去丰富自己，去提高自己的能力，这样在毕业之后才能够具有优势，才能够在社会上有自己的一席之地。

所以啊，同学们，我们不要再把时间全部都花在打游戏上了，应该要努力的去做一些对自己的未来有利的事情。我们现在已经不再是小孩子了，应该要为自己的未来去考虑一下了。我想趁着现在还有时间的时候，趁着我们还有机会的时候，去做一些对自己好的事情，利用好自己这大学四年的时间。四年的时间不管是自己想做什么只要努力了是一定会有一些成果的，所以我想我们应该要去改变自己的生活状态了，利用好自己这四年的时间，在大学毕业的时候成为更优秀的自己。

谢谢大家！

各位师哥，师姐：大家好！

又来到了每周一次的环保知识大讲坛，今天有幸给大家说一下我了解的环境问题及环保知识。

到目前为止，已经威胁人类生存，并被我们认识到的环境问题。主要有：全球变暖·臭氧层破坏，酸雨·森林资源锐减，土地荒漠化，物种加速灭绝，垃圾成灾，有毒化学物品污染等众多方面垃圾分类是一个很重要的问题，在我们中国，垃圾分类注重的太少，所以，从目前看来，它是一件亟待解决的问题。垃圾混装是把垃圾当成废物给冲掉，而垃圾分类则是把垃圾当成资源进行再次或是多次的重整，最大的地进行资源化，进行充分合理的利用。混装垃圾是把垃圾送到垃圾场进行填埋，不但侵占了大量的土地，还且还对地下的水资源造成严重的污染。还有一种是把垃圾焚烧，这样会造成很大的`大气与环境污染。而垃圾分类则是将垃圾回收到各个部门，进行分类以及更充分的再次利用，将垃圾分类只是我们举手之劳的事情，而仅仅这样一个简单的举动，所有的垃圾都可以变成了资源。

今天我要讲的环保知识总就这么多，我想如果我们在生活中呢将这些做得很好的话，我们的生活将会更加美好，我们人类与自然的关系也将会更加和谐与自然，说到不如做到，我们就以自己的绵薄之力为我们的世界做一些改变吧!

今天我要讲的就这么多，谢谢大家，谢谢!

大学生经典演讲稿篇6

各位领导，老师，师兄师姐，同学们，大家晚上好！

我是来自07运动人体科学班的xxx，在这骄阳似火的夏日里，在这雄伟壮观的体育场馆内，在这激情洋溢的竞选会上，此时此刻，我能站在这里发表我的竞选演说，我感到万分的荣幸。

大一的生活转眼间就快结束了，在这一年里，我担任班长与院学生会办公室干事的职位，为此，请允许我代表07人体及学生会向在座的各位及其他学生干部对我们一直以来工作的理解与支持，表示衷心的感谢。（鞠躬致谢）

经过一年时间的工作下来，我对我们的学生会机构有了一定的认识，我们有着较为完善的工作制度，各部门分工明确，但同时也存在着或多或少的不足需要改进，正所谓人无完人。在现阶段，我们学生会机构主要存在以下的几点不足：第一，学生会各部门有时候会在开展工作活动的时候，没有及时通知人事部门来安排人员配合等事务，因而出现工作人手不足的现象，导致工作成效不高。第二，学生会各部门对各班班干部的通讯录没有详细的收集，从而出现任何大小事务都要求班长开会，接收通知，因而会出现个别班长对我们的工作产生一定程度的不理解，另一方面，班长要处理的事务较多，有时会忽略下发的活动通知或没有积极地动员同学参加此项活动，只是略微走形式道路，没有真正落实到位，从而会出现较少同学报名参加活动和报名表上交拖拉的情况。第三，学生会与团委间的工作等各方面交流较少，学生会与团委间很大部分的干部都没有互相认识，这样，作为我们学院的两大支柱机构，出现了较大的分离现状，导致大型活动的工作开展时会出现人手不足或其他方面的影响。第四，我们学生会有个别干部工作不积极，甚至出现中途退出机构的现象，这很大程度上影响了学生会日常常规工作的正常进行。

针对以上问题，我们应该在原有的机制上再加以改进，建立起一个完善的人事调用机制，强调各部门开展工作前必须明确分工，合理调用干部，确保各部门工作的有效开展，顺利完成各项工作任务。其次，我会建立起一个完善的学生会机构通讯系统，包括学生会干部以及各班班干部，这样，可以有效解决找人难，找不对人的问题，同时，在经济允许的条件下，尽量要求干部都开通短号，这样一来，可以工作时可以节省话费，二来可以方便干部们平时的交流。再次，我会积极与团委机构沟通，做到人事调动方面可以互相协调，活动可以一起开展。这样一来，可以保证各类活动的顺利开展，二来干部之间可以多作工作经验交流。

在最后，我觉得作为一名学生干部，最需要具备的一个因素不是能力，而是责任心，因为责任心是一切工作的主体，如果没有强烈的责任心则一切只能成为纸上谈兵，不能把工作任务切实地落实到位，把每一件工作做准做细。因此，若我能有机会继续留在学生会工作，我必定会以饱满的工作热情和积极的心态去迎接每一个挑战，以强烈的责任心来承诺我今天在这里许下的诺言，用严谨的态度去工作，虚心请教，广纳贤言，锐意进取，不断学习和培养工作经验。不为荣誉和名号，或浮华背后的虚伪，而是希望伴随大家一起成长，一起为我院的学生工作献出一分微薄却又坚实的力量。我坚信通过今天的洗礼，明天的我必将受益匪浅，在学生会工作的锻炼中，一只稚拙的雏鸟必将长起丰满的双翼，我也坚信，青春的舞台由我主宰会更为精彩！

我知道，再多灿烂的话语也只不过是一瞬间的智慧与激情，朴实的行动才是开在成功之路上的鲜花。我想，如果我当选的话，我一定会言必行，行必果。

以上是我个人浅薄的认知，若有不足之处，请多作指导，让我能从不足与失败中总结，让我从光辉的舞台上提升自己的人生价值。我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家！（鞠躬致谢）

大学生经典演讲稿篇8

how to be popular

most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. what is the secret to popularityin fact, it is very simple. the first step is to improve our appearance. we should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well. when we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. in addition, we should smile and appear friendly. after all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. if we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.

another important step is developing more consideration for others. we should always put others first and place their interests before our own. it's also important to be good listeners; in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. however, no matter what we do, we must not gossip. above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. if we can do all of the above, i am sure popularity will come our way.

如何才能受人欢迎

大部分的人都想受人欢迎，但是并非每个人都能达到目标。受欢迎的秘诀何在事实上是很简单的。步骤一，先改善我们的外表。我们得确保自己很健康，并且穿着体面。当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时，不仅看起来更有精神，自己也会觉得好多了。此外，我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。毕竟，脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。如果我们能做到这一点，别人会被我们的美好外表所吸引，并对我们的自信印象深刻。

另一个重要步骤，就是培养对别人的体贴。永远以他人为重，并把别人的利益放在自己的利益之前。当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来，别人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。然而，不管我们做什么事，绝对不要说闲言闲语。最重要的是，要做自己，不要当虚伪的人。只有对人真诚又尊重时，才能赢得他人的尊敬。如果我们能做到以上几点，我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。

learn how to say no

we've all been taught that we should help people. it is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. it may even win us favors in return. however, we must be realistic. we can't say yes to every request. if we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. in this case, we must know how to say no politely.

when we need to say no, here is one method we can try. first, we should tell the truth. if we really can't do something, we should just say so. second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. we must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. a true friend will understand. finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. it can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. in short, we cannot please everyone all the time. refusing favors is a part of life.

学习如何说不

我们都被教导说，我们应该要帮助别人。这是应该做的事，而且这样做会使我们受人欢迎。它甚至会为我们赢得一些回报。但是，我们必须要实际一点。我们不能答应每一个要求。如果我们这么做，我们就一定会失败或发疯。有时候我们确实没有时间去帮忙。既然如此，我们就必须知道如何有礼貌地说不。

当我们需要说不的时候，有个办法我们可以试试。首先，我们应该要说实话。假如我们真的办不到某件事，我们就应该说不。第二，我们应该记得要客气地拒绝对方的要求。我们必须清楚地表达，但态度也必须真诚并且表示同情。一个真正的朋友会谅解的。最后，我们不必为了说不而觉得有罪恶感。有时候拒绝别人才是我们应该做的事。它可以替我们自己和

别人，都省下许多麻烦。总而言之，我们无法一直取悦每个人。拒绝请求是人生的一部分。 how to sell yourself

in this competitive society it is essential to know how to sell yourself in order to get the job you want. that means you must be able to market your best features and present yourself in the best light. after all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

there are several things you can do to project a good image in an interview. first of all, look like a winner. dress conservatively and well, and you'll look like you're going to the top. second, communicate clearly. consider each question carefully and respond with total honesty. remember to make eye contact and maintain good posture. you need to look attentive but also at ease. third, have a positive and assertive attitude. it's important to appear confident of your ability and optimistic about your future. finally, be prepared. present a professional resume and be ready to explain everything in detail.

by following the advice above, you are bound to make a good impression on potential employers. then you will be able to choose

the best opportunity for you and take that first step towards success.

如何自我推??

在这个竞争激烈的社会中，为了得到你想要的工作，知道如何自我推销是很重要的。也就是说，你必须能够销售你最好的特点，并把你最好的一面呈现出来。毕竟，第一印象定江山。

要在面试时表现出好的一面，你可以做几件事情。首先，要看起来像个赢家。穿着保守而体面，会使你看起来像是就要成功了。第二，要能清楚地表达。仔细地考虑每个问题，并据实回答。记得要和对方有目光接触，并保持良好的姿势。你必须看起来专注而自在。第三，态度要积极而有自信。对你的能力有信心，并对你的未来感到乐观是很重要的。最后，要充分准备。递上一份专业的简历，并准备好详细解释每件事。

遵照以上的建议，你就一定会给可能成为你老板的那些人，留下好的印象。然后你就可以选择对你而言最好的机会。并踏出迈向成功的第一步。

responsibility is a badge of honour for youth

(96年“21世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛”二等奖获得者，北京外国语大学徐义成)

facing this audience on the stage, i have the exciting feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. it is an assembly of some of china's most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.

i'm grateful that i've been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.

though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.

in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.

the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself. one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, "could you please explain this to mei want very much to do better this time. " i started explaining, and finished in a hurry.

pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly. nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam. and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldn't forgive myself. i simply couldn't forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "why didn't you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for youwhy didn't you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret"

i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.

later in my life, i continued to experience many failures. but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.

as i grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, i began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. new buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.

new ideas, new information, new technologies. people can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. society is becoming more competitive.

words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.

such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.

we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can't even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.

we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.

such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.

such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.

standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. probably i'll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. but this doesn't discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it's going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.

standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity. but that doesn't discourage us any, because we

know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.

i can't ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn't had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.

it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.

we are not going to evade that responsibility. we are going to let people down. and people, far and near, will hear of us. frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.

责任感——青年人荣誉的标志

站在台上面对大家，我心情十分激动。好像是在参加一次历史性的长征。我们今天面对的远不只一场竞赛或角逐。这是才华出众，生气勃勃的中国青年的一次聚会。我们是青年一代的代表。为迎接新世纪的到来，我们正在从各方面作好准备。

在这一历史时刻，能有机会代表同龄人在此认真地回顾于国于己都至关重要的过去的15年，我感激万分。

尽管只能谈谈个人经历，而且只涉及其中一个小小的片段，但我相信，它仍然折射出对我和在过去15年间一同成长起来的青年人都不可缺少的'一种思想基础。

我上小学时，班上有位小姑娘，学习非常刻苦而成绩却不尽人意。

老师要我帮助她。看得出，她也寄厚望于我。但我那时还是个小男孩，坐不住，不懂事。我老是me避她。以便有更多时间自己玩。

期末考试前一天，她来求我说“请你给我讲解一下行吗这次我很想考得好一点。”我开始给她讲解，不一会儿便草草收场，假装没有察觉她迷茫的眼神，一溜烟儿地跑开了。不出所料，这次她又考砸了。两个月后，新学期依始，传来她死于血癌的消息。我没有完成那项小小的任务，无人知晓。但我却不能原谅自己。她的眼睛令我难以忘怀，仿佛在责问我，“你为什么不愿多帮助我呢这对于你来说，并不费事。你为什么不能理解我对你的信赖，而让我带着痛苦和遗憾离开这个世界”

我当时才八九岁。但从某种意义上讲，这件事成了我生活的新起点。因为我开始体会到“责任”二字的意义，并尽心尽力地学着完成自己的义务。我也逐渐领会了这个神圣字眼的深刻内含:人与人之间的彼此需要和信任、合作和依赖正是人类社会存在的基础。

之后，我在生活中又经受过多次失败，但那小姑娘之死所引起的懊悔，心里却不曾再现。想到自己做每一件事都能尽职尽责，一种满足之感便油然而生。

此事及类似的多起事件改变了我，完善了我。当我长大成人，我开始领悟周围发生的一切变化。我发现，从某种意义上说，社会跟我一样，正处在一个自我完善的时期。新建筑、新商品、新款式一天一个样。新思维、新信息、新技术层出不穷。即便万里相隔，人们在转瞬之间即可相互交谈。社会竞争越演越烈。

人们越来越强调个性和创造性。越来越多的人因工作努力而受到奖赏。这就是当今的时代，一代新人由成长迈入成熟的时代。这是我们这一代人接替父辈治国安邦的时代。然而，我们也面临很多间题。

据悉，坏人在光天化日之下作恶，周围的群众居然袖手旁观，无动于衷。我还听说，目前我国尚有100万儿童连小学也上不起，而巨额资金却拿去举办奢侈的宴会和购置豪华的轿车。

我们常常买的是劣质药品，或名曰药品实为一文不值的废物，非但不能除病去痛，反而会使

病情加重。在某些人看来，世上金钱最宝贵，只要能赚钱，不惜牺牲道德和责任。

因而，这个时代赋予我们的是更强烈的竞争和效率意识，使我们更善于批判性地思考和创造性地行动。

此外，这个时代要求我们这一代人必须认清自己肩负的历史重任，下定决心，采取行动，解决上述问题。长期以来，历史一直在我们这一代人身上培养着这些品质。现在，历史呼唤我们挺身而出，以实际行动向全民族及全人类证实我们的拳拳爱国之心和大无畏的英雄主义。

此刻，我站在讲台上回顾15年来的学生生活。今后的岁月，我很可能平平淡淡地度过。但这丝毫不会让我心灰意冷。因为我知道，凭借强烈的责任感和精益求精的不懈奋斗，我将追求一种有意义的生活，一种不枉此生的生活。

此刻，我站在讲台上回顾过去，15年来祖国取得的巨大成就激励着千千万万的同龄人。我们之中大多数人将与名利和权力无缘。只有极少数人或许会后世留芳。对此我们丝毫也不会在意。因为我们知道，世界在观望，世界在倾听。在这个大量机遇和激烈竟争并存的时代，我们国家究竟去向何方，整个世界都在关注。

我永远不会忘记班上那位小姑娘。她本应该却没能和在座各位一样享受今天美好的人生和明日充满希望的世界。

接受新世纪的挑战，把我们的血汗、智慧和热情奉献给建设祖国、造福人民的伟大历史事业。这就是我们这一代人的神圣职责。

我们决不逃避责任，决不辜负人民的期望。我们的业绩将四海传扬。我们的故事将被反复讲述，定会令人惊叹不已，以至热泪盈眶。

有幸与时代为伍的朋友们，让我们勇往直前，以胜利的姿态迎接光辉灿烂的新世纪的来临!

knowing the consequences of choice

over the past spring festival, i got involved in a family dispute. right before i got home, four satellite channels of cctv were added to the 14 channels we had already had. in prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and i-had to argue over what to watch. finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... if we

could agree what that was.

however, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had tv, there were only one or two channels available. the increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.

fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.

fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. today, we read english newspapers like the china daily and the 21st century, as well as various chinese newspapers.

fifteen years ago, english majors took only courses in language and literature. today, we also study western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.

the emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in china's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the chinese nation.
