In recent years, more and more strongly on the integrity of the call, which may not be the integrity of the ancient Chinese records much better than now, but the integrity of consciousneis now slowly waking. This cake just as divided as earlier, in fact there is no cake in front of us, so we Harmony, nothing to dispute things. Now the times, probably with a distribution of cake for everyone, but the cake is not big enough, and can not guarantee that everyone can share a piece of satisfied Moreover, there is no clear and credible special rules for the sub-cake, the result beings scramble or intrigues you, nothing but want to own a piece large enough that, naturally, others have lecake, this time, people call the most pressing integrity. As society increasingly rich, the cake bigger, and sub-cake clear rules, and social credibility will be much better. Therefore, the Chinese are so eager to call for faith, not backwards, but we are climbing.
Du ancient times issued "tens of thousand, the largest shelter scholars of the world all smile," he, as the poor of one of those very closely; and Bai singing "to people I do not know cold to warm, leclothing for lichens man" when I think he bit Gaojue thick though, but also from genuine. Because we have too poor, it is always a good faith may emerge in the dream of luxury.
China is now gradually to prosperity, so the credibility suddenly emerged around us almost full of all types of integrity businesses and individuals, all highly imaginative deception, for example, put some washing powder to the bread in; to Pigs fed clenbuterol or lots of water injection point; to the turtle eel feed point of contraceptives and so amazing. False advertising various businesses, products and profits, it is endless, so look for the Chinese stock market was launched respected companies such a thing. Why the sudden lack integrity and we so eager to call credit?
The desire in people to the faith, in fact, have some prophetic nature. If we still have nothing or to Dousipixiu, then our own respect for life, property and freedom of consciousneis still sleeping on unawakened, exactly 20 years of reform and opening up, wake up the consciousneof people sleeping inside, but when we woke up in the age of the cake is not big enough yet, so there are a variety of bad faith disputes, in fact, behind the word, but is a benefit! But this is still a step forward, not backwards. We often say that the United States in the national level of credibility to the more silly, but a century ago Americans had not been so honest in the past the motels in the United States, toilet pa-pe-r, cups and even towels missing, almost commonplace, in very abundant material wealth, the theft of a small property so much lebehavior. The same is true in many parts of China, such as Fujian Jinjiang, Wenzhou and so on, a local product who is synonymous with counterfeiting, but now the development of local economy and the rule of law to a certain stage, they are themselves up to good faith, and has, and then the Wu made the next big difference Amon. This is probably what we call adequate food, clothing and bred, and know etiquette Depository real meaning of it!
How Honest return? You Liangshou policy, the primary course, make the pie bigger, so at least every citizen to maintain a food and clothing, which is roughly the "Development is the last word" it! The other hand is to establish the rules of sub-cake, or changes in policy, individuals and businesses would be difficult to have honest basis. How can a fair share of a cake? This requires checks and balances of power, such a person has power to cut the cake before the other person should have the first pick accordingly the power of cake, this cake can be evenly divided. No checks and balances of power, we can not expect power holders will humble prudent use of power, but most will be personal gains. This sub-cake process, if the rules were not established rules, then the cornerstone of the social integrity is very unstable and ultimately affect the people who toil to big cake.
Therefore, China calls for sincerity, need to "grasp with both hands," no credibility rules, the society will degenerate into the state of Liangshan, even a gentleman, and can only large piece of meat, drinking bowl, Otherwise, others would implement its "gentleman cheated of Israel"; with integrity rules, you can either willing or unwilling heart, at least to be credible behavior. Liang Shouying means that economic development should be hard, improve the market economy framework also hard, the government loof integrity or lack of space has always been a social modernization and civilization of the fatal weakness.
I was seventeen, almost a senior in high school. I was riding my bike to school. I had taken a special route to pick up a gift, but that day, "the road less traveled by" led to disaster. Crossing a road, a drunk driver ran a red light, slammed into me, and shattered my left knee.
It made all the difference.
I was forced to postpone college, plunged into painful therapy . . . but eventually, I also learned much about life and myself. I found the strength to withstand adversity, learned compassion, and above all, I learned that the road not taken is not just about regrets or choices but also about the perpetual now and the always-coming future.
When I first studied Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” in middle school, I was unable to grasp its ambiguity. I always thought that Frost’s persona chooses “a road less traveled by” and lives life being subversive and irreverent. I was wrong. In the poem, both of the two roads that “diverged in a yellow wood” are actually “about the same.” But there has to be a choice, and sometimes, they it can be involuntary (as I learned the hard way). This makes me extremely thankful and resolute when I can make conscious choices and plan for the future, and so I know now that Frost's poem is also about "the road not [yet] taken."
For everyone, this means something slightly different. For me, it means constant vigilance, learning, and love. Our journey is hard, complex, and it often presents unexpected twists, but reflecting on the roads not taken and not yet taken each day gives us a little more strength and confidence. Life cannot and will not me perfect, and the truth is it will end. But as Willa Cather would say, “The end is nothing, the road is all.” The road not taken in the past, and the road not yet taken that lies ahead.
But about the present? It joints the past and the future. What then, is “the road not taken” in the perpetual now? Personally, I find an answer in these lines from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “Ulysses”:
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Thank you.
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
but one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the negro is still not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languishing in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. so we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
in a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
so we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of god's children. now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
a window is opened up at the crack of dawn, beside which one man is overlooking the the mess of buildings outside, breathing the fresh air cosily. but just after a little while, he steps to his seat, staring at the computer screen till the night. this man is very likely a programmer.
there is a man who concentrates on his computer, but doesn’t care about however he dresses, or even whether he washes his face.
there is a man who has a good knowledge of computer language, but has a low eq and makes a bad relationship with others.
there is a man who stays at home and does his own work by himself day and night, but just has few friends.
these images shown above probably are what people think of programmers as, in fact, programmers indeed give us a bad impression sometimes. however, people just have a partial understanding of programmers’ life, not to mention that they can know the fun of programming. there is no doubt that programs affect all aspects of our lives in an obvious or potential way, especially they are reflected in electronic products that we use nowadays.
when you are so proud of possessing an iphone, you’d better remember that it is the program that makes you get confidence to show off the advanced mobile phones thoroughly.
when you take advantage of computers to cope with problems in life, you’d better remember that it is the program that makes you seek the convenience of computer.
展望未来,放飞梦想
Greeting everybody!It's my honor to share my topic here with you. Today I'd like to talk about my dream.
When I was a little girl,I often thought about my future.Will I be rich or will I be successful?In fact,I never considered what job will I get.A writer?A
reporter?Or like now,a speecher? I don’t know.Well,I think I’m an ordinary person.So I just want to have a house of my own when I grow up.In my imagination,it may not be very big,but it must be comfortable and warm
enough.If the weather is good,I will sit on my sofa and read books or listen to music on the balcony in the sun.If it is rainy,I’ll sit there and watch the
beautiful world in the rain through the window.Sometimes I will walk by the riverside and enjoy the scenery.Sometimes I won’t do anything but just lie on my bed.
I think all of these things are tiny and beautiful moments in life because they can give me a heart break.It seems that I live a very simple life.However,it’s the life that I really want to live.
No scenery in the world remains unchanged. As long as you keep your heart basking in the sun,then every dawn will present a fine prospect for you to unfold and the world will always be about new hopes. Yes,maybe I won’t be very rich or successful,but I believe that I will live a happy and healthy life.And,that is my dream,my own dream.
That’all.Thanks for listening!
John in order to choose the wise after the death of his home, he visited the heaven and hell
He first came to the hell, to see all the people are sitting at the table, the table filled with all kinds of delicious foods. The strange thing is, they are all one in the blues. John emaciation with sallow complexion, a closer look only to find the original table on the left arm people are tied with a fork, right arm tied with a knife, knife the fork and handle up to 4 feet, grasp the knife and fork to eat all the things on the table, so they only watched the food hungry.
John went to heaven, and all the way to find dining equipment with hell. But people here are as like as two peas ruddy, and everywhere is full of laughter. John felt very strange, why they are not afraid of hunger? John quickly found the answer, the original heaven never handle food to feed themselves but, happily to others to eat, so, who can eat delicious food; and hell who only want to feed themselves, so only to starve.
Heaven and hell have only one step away, but because of the warmth and love between people, heaven has become a place for laughter, the hell became a place full of complaints and hunger
the drawing of political lines goes to the motivation behind impeachment; but impeachment must proceed within the confines of the constitutional term "high crime[s] and misdemeanors." of the impeachment process, it was woodrow wilson who said that "nothing short of the grossest offenses against the plain law of the land will suffice to give them speed and effectiveness. indignation so great as to overgrow party interest may secure a conviction; but nothing else can."
common sense would be revolted if we engaged upon this process for petty reasons. congress has a lot to do: appropriations, tax reform, health insurance, campaign finance reform, housing, environmental protection, energy sufficiency, mass transportation. pettiness cannot be allowed to stand in the face of such overwhelming problems. so today we are not being petty. we are trying to be big, because the task we have before us is a big one.
this morning, in a discussion of the evidence, we were told that the evidence which purports to support the allegations of misuse of the cia by the president is thin. we're told that that evidence is insufficient. what that recital of the evidence this morning did not include is what the president did know on june the 23rd, 1972.
the president did know that it was republican money, that it was money from the committee for the re-election of the president, which was found in the possession of one of the burglars arrested on june the 17th. what the president did know on the 23rd of june was the prior activities of e. howard hunt, which included his participation in the break-in of daniel ellsberg's psychiatrist, which included howard hunt's participation in the dita beard itt affair, which included howard hunt's fabrication of cables designed to discredit the kennedy administration.
we were further cautioned today that perhaps these proceedings ought to be delayed because certainly there would be new evidence forthcoming from the president of the united states. there has not even been an obfuscated indication that this committee would receive any additional materials from the president. the committee subpoena is outstanding, and if the president wants to supply that material, the committee sits here. the fact is that on yesterday, the american people waited with great anxiety for eight hours, not knowing whether their president would obey an order of the supreme court of the united states.
at this point, i would like to juxtapose a few of the impeachment criteria with some of the actions the president has engaged in. impeachment criteria: james madison, from the virginia ratification convention. "if the president be connected in any suspicious manner with any person and there be grounds to believe that he will shelter him, he may be impeached."
we have heard time and time again that the evidence reflects the payment to defendants money. the president had knowledge that these funds were being paid and these were funds collected for the 1972 presidential campaign. we know that the president met with mr. henry petersen 27 times to discuss matters related to watergate, and immediately thereafter met with the very persons who were implicated in the information mr. petersen was receiving. the words are: "if the president is connected in any suspicious manner with any person and there be grounds to believe that he will shelter that person, he may be impeached."
Hello everyone，it is glad to meet you，my name is Nong Yanxing，you can alsocall me Virita, It’s my English name. I am a Howell School’s girl and I am anoutgoing girl too, so I like playing jokes with others.
I am fourteen years old and I have learnt English for six years now I’veloved English since the first time, I’ve heard it from a tape. The voice fromthe tape was very wonderful and the language was so nice .That time Ithought，how wonderful the language is! And if I can speak English as well as thespeaker in the tape，that will be amazing! So I asked my mum：“Can I learnEnglish? I really love it!” “Of course you can，but are you sure about it? Canyou insist on it?” She was a bit excited. “Of course I can，mum. I love it verymuch，I want to learn it. ”I said confidently，“Oh，my good kid，you are very good，Iam so excited about you are interested in English. ”She gave me a sweet hug. Welaughed together. Then，I’ve started my English learning way.
At the beginning，I loved English because it sounds comfortable ,but I can’tbelieve that how difficult to learn English grammar. Then I felt tired, and Ireally want to give it up. Buton that main time，my English teacher found me wasa bit strange，“What wrong with you，Virita?You look a bit strange.” “Nothing, Ijust think English grammar is so difficult. It is boring，I don’t want to learnit anymore!” “Why?You can’t give it up，Virita. I can help you just trustme.”“Really?” “Of course!” Then she helped me with my English grammar afterclass everyday. She told me how to find a good way for my own to learn Englishgrammar. How to find a good way to remember the English new words. She told metry to love English! Interests is the best teacher! So my English marks improvevery fast. And in the finally exam，I got the best marks at school. I was sohappy .But my English teacher warned me again “Don’t be proud of it. Hastyclimbers have the sudden falls. You should come on!”
I also like watching Holly Wood movies, for example, The Green Man in theAvengers is very strong and V in V of vendetta is very cool. Most of actors andactresses speak English in the film, and I really want to understand the wholemeaning about a film without any caption one day. Itis difficult for me to makeit come true. I should work harder.
English is a very beautiful language .And itis my friend，a real friend.Although I can’t feel it with my hands, but I can feel it with my heart. Englishbrought me a lot and I have a big dream about English. To make it come true ,Ishould work harder and learn more Western culture. We’ll love each other moreand more.
This is the story with English and me.
Thanks for listening.
The most famous snack in my hometown is yuntun. Whenever I taste thisdelicious food, I feel relaxed and happy.
Be patient when eating yuntun. If you are in a hurry and want to eat one ata time, yuntun will burn your mouth full of bubbles. Eating yuntun is also veryexquisite. You can not only separate the skin from the sink, but also pierce theskin and eat for a long time. Guests who like spicy food can put some pepperbefore eating.
On the National Day holiday, my mother took me to master Huangs wonton shopto taste the delicious wonton. They began to eat wonton. I saw that yuntun wasthick in skin and meat, attractive in color, with long drums, which made peoplereally want to eat one at a time. At this time. First, I picked up the pepperbottle and sprinkled pepper in the wonton soup. Then I picked the biggest oneand carefully pricked the skin with chopsticks. Suddenly, a fragrance curledinto my nostril. I couldnt help but drool. I took a bite of the skin first. Itsvery chewy. Then a mass of red meat ran out of yuntuns skin mischievously. Itseems to be looking at me mischievously. At this time, I can no longer resistthe temptation of the meat pit and cant wait to take a bite. The feeling oftenderness and smoothness comes naturally, which makes me not bear to swallowthe delicious and juicy yuntun. I just want to let yuntun taste in my mouth fora long time. I ate seven in a row, which made my belly swell. My mother said Iwas a glutton when she saw how delicious I was. Ah, who makes yuntun sodelicious! I would rather be a glutton, but also to taste this world food. Backhome, the fragrance of yuntun still overflows in the mouth!
How about listening to my introduction, everyone must be drooling! Letshave a taste of this memorable food - yuntun bar!

i challenge you to define your value.

For a little peace and tranquility in the financial zone that is Lujiazui, take some time off to smell the roses in an unlikely setting.
Just by the looming Oriental Pearl TV Tower behemoth is a newly-installed park complete with artificial waterways and resident geese. If this sounds cheesy, rest assured, it's not.
To complete the other-worldliness of this verdant garden, a few classical European-style villas are being built within the compound. One already-completed building houses the perfect representation of this safe haven within the business district. The Golden Atrium Garden Restaurant is quite unlike anything one has come to expect from the city's freshly-flush property developers. The villa is tasteful, inviting and homely - a far cry from some of the hideous monstrosities that have spawned from the ground below in recent times.
In fact, the building looks like it belongs in a painting, a fact not lost on the establishment's proprietors. "We were looking to find a special peaceful place in Pudong," said Phylia Wang, co-founder of Golden Atrium. "This place, with the Pearl Tower in the background, is quite unique."
The restaurant owners were interested in a few key factors. Firstly, the surroundings had to be pleasant. That they certainly are. Despite the premises being located deep within the park, prominent signs on the main road point diners in the right direction.
Secondly, the interior had to be done to their satisfaction. "We didn't want it to look like it was done for the nouveau riche," the Chinese Taiwan resident said. "That meant no gaudy ornaments or glaring chandeliers."
The restaurant is wonderfully understated. The interior, which received the bulk of the US$1 million investment, would not disagree with minor European aristocracy. Simple, elegant furniture and quality finishing prove this to be money well spent, and not squandered on ostentatious ornamentation.
The art theme, which is the third leg of the owners' strategy, is central to the overall strategy. Wang, who is in the IT business, is also a massive art buff. Her refined manner of dress reveals her gentile manner; she is clearly a lady of exquisite taste. As such, her selection of the art work that hangs in the 140-seater continues her theme of simplicity wonderfully.
The top floor of the three-story building is a dedicated event space, with works on display by one-man-shows that rotate every few months. Until December 16, local artist Xu Wenhua's piece de resistance can be appreciated. The floor can hold about 90 people, and is perfect for basic events, business conferences or for wine tastings.
All this is jolly and good, but the basis of any restaurant is its food. Here, the Chinese Taiwanese chef delivers fare that is as grand as the building itself.
For 380 yuan (US$48) diners can tuck into a set menu offering braised shark's fin, deep-fried prawns with salt and pepper, and roasted pigeon. The bird is served slightly smoked, crisping the skin and impacting flavor without sacrificing juiciness and succulence. To finish the meal, vegetables and fried rice are served, followed by dessert.
Golden Atrium also offers set lunch menus starting at 98 yuan. Diners can choose a dim sum set or a typical Cantonese lunch of sweet and sour pork, kung pow chicken or beef stew, with vegetables and fried rice.
The restaurant takes itself seriously, but not too much so, which is a refreshing change. Almost as refreshing as the park itself.

Happiness is like a snowflake, each one unique because the perception of a meaningful life varies from person to person. To many people, happiness means a simple life without any ups and downs, but my happiness comes from a life full of challenge and experience.
When I was a child, happiness was the rare taste of independence, a brave leap from the mundane. I remember the first time I tried to to ride a bike by myself without the support wheels. I went back home with a flat tire, skinned knees, and the biggest grin my face could hold. While other toddlers preferred the safe and secure, I was tumbling down hills and swerving off sidewalks. Even now, I can still recall the exhilaration I had felt when I managed to stay atop that bike for those few short moments.
Later on, overcoming challenges that I encountered in life was what brought me happiness. You see, I started learning the violin. It was extremely hard and I sounded like I was flaying a cat every time I picked it up. My fingers were awkward and the bow slipped off the strings more times than it stayed on. I spent three hours everyday, sawing at my violin. My fingers bruised and my neck ached, but gradually the mistakes lessened and I was making music. Three years later, I was First Chair violinist in the school orchestra. I still remember the pride I had felt when I took my very first bow in front of an applauding audience. Happiness had felt so much sweeter after a hard won success.
When I got older and saw more of the world, I wanted to contribute more. So when most people my age chose to spend the three months before college relaxing, I decided to get a part-time job as a TA at a summer school. I woke up at the crack of dawn, took an hour's bus to the school every day and spent most of the summer vacation sitting in the back of classrooms, grading papers and taking notes on the lecture and tutoring students. It definitely wasn't the most glamorous summer, but it was one of the happiest and most memorable moments of my life. It didn’t just make me happy because it had been my first part-time job. I was happy because I had spent my time doing something worthwhile. I had contributed in my own way, and the children were going to do better in school in the coming year.
Over the years, I’ve had my fair share of cuts and bruises, but the scars left behind are the testimony of my own unique experiences and the fulfilling life that I want to pursue. Our time is limited and I want to experience as much as life can offer. My happiness comes from living an exciting and worthy life, true to myself and true to the world.
If personal happiness were a self portrait, then each day would be a stroke of the brush, each experience a splash of vivid paint. And when we are old, we can look back upon our life and the dots will connect, every brush of color will come together and reveal a life worth living and a person worth being.
it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the negro. this sweltering summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.
those who hope that the negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. there will be neither rest nor tranquility in america until the negro is granted his citizenship rights. the whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
but there is something that i must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. in the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
we must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
we cannot walk alone.and as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. we cannot turn back. there are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. we can never be satisfied as long as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes he has nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn is a very important Chinese festival. It falls on the 15th day of August. A few days before the festival, everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful. Lanterns will be hung in front of the house.
On the evening there will be a big family dinner. People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the union. After dinner, people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round. Children will play with their own toy lanterns happily.
At night the moon is usually round and bright. People can enjoy the moon while eating moon-cakes which are the special food for this festival. They can look back on the past and look forward to the future together. It is said that there was a dragon in the sky. The dragon wanted to swallow up the moon. To protect the frighten the dragon away.
When it comes to Shuangliao, my hometown, it is not only beautiful inscenery, but also famous in the world for all kinds of snacks. A bite of it willmake your mouth linger and make your aftertaste endless. Northeast Jiaozi is oneof the snacks. Lets taste it with me!
If you want to eat it, you have to make it. Ill teach you how to make it.First, make some noodles soft, then make them into a small dough, and then rollthe dough into a thin skin with a rolling pin. After rolling, it looks like abig moon. Then its time to make stuffing. Put whatever stuffing you like, forexample. I like to eat the flavor of leek and egg, so I choose some good leekand fresh egg, fry the egg first, and then put some seasoning, which can makethe dumplings more fragrant. Finally, mix them together, and the filling will bedone. Then, take out the rolled skin, wrap the stuffing, seal the mouth, andknead it about seven or eight times on the mouth. Dont squeeze the stuffing out,then put the wrapped dumplings into the pot together, and then wait.
The dumplings we have been looking forward to will come out of the pot, andour mood will boil like the water for cooking dumplings. Soon the dumplings willbe cooked and float on the water like little Yuanbao. (remember not to cook toolong) they can be pulled out of the pot. Look at the crystal white dumplings,white, fat and lovely. No one can help but want to have a bite. The intoxicatingtaste is in your mouth Long march. As the saying goes: "its better to lie downthan to sit, and its better to eat than dumplings.". Bite open dumplings, thefragrance of leeks and the embellishment of golden eggs, is really a deliciousfood with good color, fragrance and taste.
When you come to my hometown, I invite you to eat the Northeast jiaozi,which is a snack here. It will help you to have a good time. Come on!
我的家
I have a wonderful family.I'm lucky to be a part of it.Let me tell you about them. My family name is Lee.My family history is long and proud.There are five people in my family now. My parents love me very much.They do a lot for me.When I need help, they are always there.
My dad is a strong guy.He's honest and hardworking.He's like a superhero to me. My mom is a smart woman.She can do almost anything.I just can't praise her enough. I have two siblings.They are my older brother and younger sister.Sometimes we argue,but we mainly get along.
My family likes being together.We like eating out and going to the movies.We also enjoy hiking and having picnics. My family isn't perfect.We have our ups and downs.But we always forgive and make up. Our motto is “United together forever.” I'll always cherish my family.I hope your family is lovely,too.
i don’t know what that dream is that you have, i don’t care how disappointing it might have been as you’ve been working toward that dream, but that dream that you’re holding in your mind, that it’s possible!
some of you already know, that it’s hard, it’s not easy, it’s hard changing your life. that in the process of working on your dreams you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. there are moments that you are going to doubt yourself. you said, god why is this happening to me? i’m just trying to take care of my family, trying to give them a good life, i’m not trying to steal or rob from anybody. why does this have to happen to me. for those of you that have experienced some hardships – don’t give up on your dream.
the rough times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass. greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive, god like feature that only the special among can achieve. it’s something that truly exists, in all of us. it’s very important for you to believe that you are the one!
most people they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die. they stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, the stop pushing themselves. then a lot of people like to complain but they don’t wanna do anything about their situation. and most people don’t work on their dreams – why?
1. is because of fear, fear of failure “what if things don’t work out“?
2. is fair of success “what if they do and i can’t handle it?”
these are not risk takers
The tempo of modern civilization has been much quickened in the last twenty years. While witnessing the dramatic changes in the better-off society, people begin to reconsider the question of "survival". "Survival" in the old sense does not bother us anymore. Instead, we are more concerned about how to "survive" in the human world full of competition.
Competition always carries abreast challenges and opportunities to everyone involved. It might appear in an entrance exam, in a regular class, or in a small public speech. Those who fail to detect its real nature-whether an opportunity or a challenge a competition really is- will lose something more or less conducive to our growth. Of course, if we take the competition as an opportunity, we will favor it intentionally because they can help us outstand from the average; they will make us become the focus of public attention; they will grant us more chances and rights to succeed. As a matter of fact, opportunities are supposed to be more perceptible and welcoming than challenges. The truth is, however, we will lose more opportunities when we choose to take the "opportunity" fork at the crossroads. The other fork, ignored by us and defined as "fearful challenges", offers much more chances for the walker in competition.
We have such an inclination in life to overestimate ourselves and hold a thoughtless attitude towards the negative outlook of things.
We believe in the old saying, "Opportunity knocks but just once," so we always welcome it and devote all our spirit and efforts to it. The most devout believer of this saying are the graduates. Why? There are quite a number of them who pay full attention to positions in big cities and are willing to flood into developed areas under any circumstances, even though there will be too much uncertainty for their choices. Innumerable cases go straight to the same miserable end: God seems to refuse to help too many of His worshipers.
In conclusion, to define the quality of competition seems to be far from valuable sense, for no matter what a competition is, an opportunity or a challenge, it will create nutritious elements for our growth.
So take a positive look at everything around. Keep our face to the sunshine, and we will not see the shadows.
In front of challenge there are 5 players.
The first player creates opportunity.
The second one attempts opportunity.
The third waits for an opportunity coming, sitting there and crossing his fingers.:)
How about the next one, the fourth player? He just simply misses the opportunity.
Worse ever, the last contender ignores an opportunity under his eyes.
If we don't have guts to be the first player, at least, we can push out well-prepared to grasp any possible opportunity as does the second player.
hello,everybody ,i'm happy to make a speech here.my name's sheng aifeng.i'm from kun tong primary school.today my topic is a story of a small village. next i will tell you a sad story about ourselves.long long ago,there was a beautiful village,it was my hometown.how nice it was! look,there was a beautiful forest near river,the trees were tall and straight,the sky was blue, the air was flesh, it looked like a green sea. my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.i have kept the dream in my mind for so long that whoever in the sun is able to live a happy life for ever. i think this dream is deeply rooted in the future. as we can see, we are now not far away from violence, poverty, diseases, environmental pollution and even wars. most of people are in need of what they have never enjoyed. however, i still can stick to my innermost dream, as i still can see the bright lights in our future. i believe, there will be a day when those from the rich counties are really willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries; there will be a day when we are surprised to find that the word poverty has long been out of our memories; there will be a day when we are together to share our dreams and we will all contribute to making our common dreams come true. i will not just wait but to take action to live in my dream. people lived there happily.but with the development of the society,more and more buildings stood in our village,many new cupboardstables、chairs and others came out. so woods became fewer and fewer,even some floods ofen happened, people lived there sadly.after we hear the story,should we do something for it? we're young pioneers,proecting trees is our duty,let's do by ourselves.i hope everyone makes a contribution to protecting our environment, our hometown anji will become more and more beautiful. 美食英语三分钟演讲稿(3)
my definition of success
today i am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. what is success? it is what everyone is longing for.sometimes success would be rather simple. winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now i am
standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.
however, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very
complicated. is fortune success? is fame success? is high social status success? no, i don’t think so. i believe success is the realization of people’
s hopes and ideals.nowadays, in the modern society there are many people
who are regarded as the successful. and the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. so most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. but the problem is wether it is real success. we all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. if we keep chasing them, where is the end? what will satisfy us at last? therefore, we can see, to get the real success we must need something inside, which is the realization of
people’ hopes and ideals.
different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. but i am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. these are the best treasures. so now i am very proud that i have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. it is my success, cause i raise up to challenge my hope.
"who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves?" "the subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men." and that's what we're talking about. in other words, [the jurisdiction comes] from the abuse or violation of some public trust.
it is wrong, i suggest, it is a misreading of the constitution for any member here to assert that for a member to vote for an article of impeachment means that that member must be convinced that the president should be removed from office. the constitution doesn't say that. the powers relating to impeachment are an essential check in the hands of the body of the legislature against and upon the encroachments of the executive. the division between the two branches of the legislature, the house and the senate, assigning to the one the right to accuse and to the other the right to judge, the framers of this constitution were very astute. they did not make the accusers and the judgers -- and the judges the same person.
we know the nature of impeachment. we've been talking about it awhile now. it is chiefly designed for the president and his high ministers to somehow be called into account. it is designed to "bridle" the executive if he engages in excesses. "it is designed as a method of national inquest into the conduct of public men." the framers confided in the congress the power if need be, to remove the president in order to strike a delicate balance between a president swollen with power and grown tyrannical, and preservation of the independence of the executive.
the nature of impeachment: a narrowly channeled exception to the separation-of-powers maxim. the federal convention of 1787 said that. it limited impeachment to high crimes and misdemeanors and discounted and opposed the term "maladministration." "it is to be used only for great misdemeanors," so it was said in the north carolina ratification convention. and in the virginia ratification convention: "we do not trust our liberty to a particular branch. we need one branch to check the other."
"no one need be afraid" -- the north carolina ratification convention -- "no one need be afraid that officers who commit oppression will pass with immunity." "prosecutions of impeachments will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community," said hamilton in the federalist papers, number 65. "we divide into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused." i do not mean political parties in that sense.

何谓「美式食物」?乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言，美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人，你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西，但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗?

we know the nature of impeachment. we've been talking about it awhile now. it is chiefly designed for the president and his high ministers to somehow be called into account. it is designed to "bridle" the executive if he engages in excesses. "it is designed as a method of national inquest into the conduct of public men."² the framers confided in the congress the power if need be, to remove the president in order to strike a delicate balance between a president swollen with power and grown tyrannical, and preservation of the independence of the executive.

"we divide into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused."³ i do not mean political parties in that sense.
the drawing of political lines goes to the motivation behind impeachment; but impeachment must proceed within the confines of the constitutional term "high crime[s] and misdemeanors." of the impeachment process, it was woodrow wilson who said that "nothing short of the grossest offenses against the plain law of the land will suffice to give them speed and effectiveness. indignation so great as to overgrow party interest may secure a conviction; but nothing else can."
common sense would be revolted if we engaged upon this process for petty reasons. congress has a lot to do: appropriations, tax reform, health insurance, campaign finance reform, housing, environmental protection, energy sufficiency, mass transportation. pettiness cannot be allowed to stand in the face of such overwhelming problems. so today we are not being petty. we are trying to be big, because the task we have before us is a big one.
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 contest.But 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 difficulties. For 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.
different people have different ideas about success; cause people's hopes and ideas vary from one another. but i am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. these are the best treasures. so now i am very proud that i have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. it is my success, cause i raise up to challenge my hope.
what is success? everyone has his own interpretation as i do. but i am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. so ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life!
wish you all good success!
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.
我们都被教导，我们应该帮助人们。它是正确的事情，会使我们受别人欢迎。它甚至可能会赢得我们的回报。然而，我们必须是现实的。我们不能对每一个要求说“是”。如果我们做了，我们会失败或疯狂的肯定。有时我们只是没有时间去帮助。在这种情况下，我们必须知道如何礼貌地说。
当我们需要说不，这里有一个方法，我们可以尝试。首先，我们应该讲真话。如果我们真的不能做某事，我们应该这样说。第二，我们应该礼貌地拒绝请求。我们必须清晰地沟通，但也必须真诚和同情。一个真正的朋友会理解。最后，我们不应该为说“不”而感到内疚，有时拒绝别人是正确的事。它可以拯救我们自己，和他们，很多麻烦。总之，我们不能取悦所有的人。拒绝恩惠是生活的一部分。
Strong earthquake hits China
A powerful earthquake measuring 7.8 has hit China's southern province of Sichuan, shaking buildings as far away as Beijing, Shanghai and Bangkok.
It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties or damage from the tremor which the the US Geological Survey (UGS) earlier put at 7.8.
The epicentre of the quake was 93 kilometres north of Chengdu.
Wenchuan, which took full force of the quake, has a population of 111,000 people.
It is in an ethnic Tibetan area in Aba county which recently saw violent clashes between Tibetans and Chinese authorities.
According to some reports there was a second earthquake measuring 3.9 which hit the Beijing district of Tongzhou at roughly the same time.
Telephone lines in the affected area are jammed and there are still no reports of casualties.
Reports from Thailand say high buildings in Bangkok continued to shake several minutes after the tremors began.
"We felt continuous shaking for about two or three minutes. All the people in our office are rushing downstairs. We're still feeling slight tremblings," said an office worker in Chengdu.
China's tallest building, the Jinmao Tower, and other highrise buildings in Shanghai's financial district were evacuated after tremors were first felt.
"People were shouting 'get out, get out', so we all ran out of our dorm," said a student surnamed Zhang at a university in nearby Chongqing.
A spokesman for the China Earthquake Administration said it was still checking the epicentre and scale of the tremor.
The Buddha preaching down preaching, see a precious Shakya Muni like in a shop. The shop owner asked five thousand and two hundred Wenyin. Love the Buddha statue of Buddha, to bargain. The shop owner Jianfo so loved, then more bite prices do not put.
Return to the temple of Buddha zhongseng talk about the matter, "asked the Buddha to how much money to buy it, the Buddha said:" Heaven dwells, when there is a way, the world of mortals, numerous living beings, and that is The loss outweighs the gain.!"
"How should?" asked the disciple. "Let him confess." the Buddha smiled and said.
The first day, a disciple was arranged to shop and boss bargain, talked about four thousand five hundred and two, failed
The second day, the second disciples talked about four thousand and two hundred, failed
On the third day,.
So, on the ninth day, the price given by the buyer was as low as two hundred and twenty, and the boss began to blame himself for being too greedy to see that the price of the buyer was lower than one
The tenth day, the Buddha himself down, and to Wenyin boss trading five hundred and twenty. The boss very happy, with shrines Chinese Taiwan 1. Foxie no Fokan, single palm bow smiled and said: "the boundless desire, everything is all right, not overdo sth.!"
A man can not be greedy, we have! Indulge in greed, tend to lose the correct thinking, idea a little difference, realm completely different. This story gives warning of many, many. Some people say that this story of the retail investors to those stocks!
