【正文】 osperity 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 summer39?！薄皨寢?，明天是我朋友的生日，我要給她買份禮物。我覺得她所做的一切都是理所當然的，直到有一天，她說:“會不會有這么一天你對我說我已經索取夠了?’’就像孩子無止境的要求一樣，我們人類，從古到今，也一直在向自然索求以滿足欲望。我們無情的剝削已經永遠地傷害了地球母親。如果我們留給他們的是一位貧瘩、毫無生氣的母親，那么我們會受到子孫們何等嚴厲的批評?如果我們留給他們的遺產是一個和諧的世界，他們會對我們作出何等的稱贊?讓我們從現(xiàn)在開始尊重、關愛自然。Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen. Today，we are gathering here to discuss a very hot issue. how to find harmony in a new age between man and nature? Where modern science and technology are concerned I am only a layman I have to say. However, living in this 39。t help trying to offer my idea and my trivial efforts to look for the answer of the question.As the ancient Greek oracle goes: know thyself. I think in answering this abovementioned question, this precondition is also very important.Who are we? This is a question, which should be answered not only by those specialists, but also by every o。 , seeing my dear ones suffering from respiratory diseases from time to time, finding the beautiful colors of green and blue are being replaced by that of gray and pale, and realizing that our mother planet is getting more and more unhealthy。我堅信，有了這個新的開始，我們的孩子、孩子的孩子必將生活在一個綠樹青蔥、空氣清新、水碧天藍的嶄新世紀，一個前景更加燦爛的世界!We Are a Normal Member of the Big Family of NatureBy Wang Yonghui(主永暉 北京對外經濟貿易大學)專家點評:演講者圍繞環(huán)境污染的嚴重性作了一次次的說明。最后，站在21世紀的門檻上，我們不禁展望著繁榮昌盛。我們認為冬天要取暖是理所當然的事情，卻未曾意識到寶貴的自然資源就這樣被燒掉。母親和孩子的關系似乎永遠都是這一種形式。s children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!自然是我們的母親請允許我用一個我們今天在座的大部分人，就算不是全部，都很熟悉的場景來展開我的演講。Will there be a time that you39。39。m sorry, but I need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year.39。最后，我希望每個人都能盡最大努力成為國家的有用人才?？墒?，的確有學生無動于衷。我們還在業(yè)余時間寫劇本并排練演出。在我們離開的那一天，我那不爭氣的眼淚禁不住流了下來。因而，我經常參加有關公眾福利享業(yè)的活動。但是，當我在一天之內翻譯完7篇(總字數(shù)超過5000字)的英語文章后，他們真的是大吃一驚。學習是個循序漸進、長期的過程，我會在知識的寶庫中不斷探索，豐富自我。我渴望獲得盡可能多的知識，是老師激發(fā)起了我這個不能滿足的欲望。我永遠不會忘記剛剛跨進大學校園的那幾天:花園一樣的校園，熱情活躍的學生，特別是那里的學習氣氛，給我留下了深刻的印象。ll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself. This summer I got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world. A publishing house offered me a parttime job in pilation and revision.At the beginning I was belittled by my colleagues. But they were really surprised when I translated seven English articles over 5,000 words on only one day. Gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes. In their opinion I turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.I also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy. So I often take part in activities concerning public welfare. I once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates. We taught the kids there who could not afford school. While showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, I was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their purity. I couldn39。In my 18 years of life, there have been many things. University days are the best part of them. I can never forget the days when I stepped into my university. I was impressed by its gardenlike campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere. I at once fell in love with it.After the arduous military training, I get absolutely absorbed in my studies. The classes given by the teachers are excellent. They provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well. They easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as I can.Frankly speaking, at first I had some difficulty following the teachers. However, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers39。我寧可作為一個真實的自我而出現(xiàn)。失去了多樣性的世界是個冷漠、乏味的地方。讓我極度奇怪而又高興的是，一上臺，我完全投入到演出中，而且我那幽默的天性被發(fā)揮得淋漓盡致。作為英語俱樂部的主席，我為英語晚會組織排演了《白雪公主》短劇。但是,其中有個劇團成員告訴我:“你似乎不太合適出演這個角色，因為你的身高有點問題。You seem inadequate and you are a little verticallychallenged.39。他們從不同的時空中走進了我的生活，開拓了我的視野。這個單詞時老師臉上的笑容。傳統(tǒng)的中華文化教育我們，要勃奮學習，努力工作，以榮耀家門。經濟的發(fā)展使我們富裕起來，卻也給我們的空氣、水、健康帶來了嚴重危害。但今天，隨著受教育面的拓寬，以上的知識也成了每個人必備的條件。對于我們青年一代，挑戰(zhàn)常以竟爭的形式出現(xiàn)。我愿意在像北京、上海、深圳這樣的大都市里工作，我也盼著能回到雖不那么發(fā)達卻使我倍感親切的故鄉(xiāng)。我是英語專業(yè)三年級學生，我所面臨的一個重大選擇當然是畢業(yè)后的去向。經過祖祖輩輩的抗爭與犧牲，我們才最終贏得了當家作主的機會。而如今，我們還學習西方文化，新聞，商務，國際關系，甚至還有計算機課程。而如今，紛繁的花色和眾多的式樣讓我們挑得眼花繚亂。最后，我們決定應當看“最有意思”的節(jié)目——如果我們在什么是“最有意思”上可以認同的話。China39。m too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.I am a thirdyear English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fastpaced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holdsgreat potential.All of these sound good. But they are only possibilities. To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge.To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of petition. In the next century, petition will not only e from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.With increas
