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.

We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.

About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.

Like others of my age, I'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 third-year 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.

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.

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 fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds

great 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 competition. In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.

With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.

Fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. But today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.

What does overpopulation feel like? When we move slowly through the city in a tazi. When we enter a crowded slum district. When the temperature is high and when the air is thick with dust and smoke. The streets are crowded with people. The streets seem alive with people. People eating. People washing. People talking. People sleeping. People visiting each other, arguing and screaming. People relieving themselves. People pushing their hands through the taxi windows, begging. People leading animals. People, people, people, people. As we drive slowly through the crowd, sounding the taxi's horn, the dust, heat, noise and cooking fires made it like a scene from hell! I admit, frightening.

To the nature, overpopulation is a big problem. More people, more pollution. And the big population is threatening the nature every second.

The rapid rise in world population is not creating problems only for the developing countries. The whole world faces the problem that raw materials are being used up at an increasing rate and food production can not keep up with the population increase. People in rich countries make the heaviest demands on the world's resources, its food, fuel and land, and cause the most pollution. A baby born in the United States will use in his lifetime 30 times more of the world's resources than a baby born in India. Unless all the countries of the world take united action to deal with the population explosion there will be more and more people fighting for a share of less and less land, food and fuel, and the future will bring poverty, misery and war to us all.

For most of the developing countries, it is a good idea to control the population growth. For example, China has carried out birth control for years. And this plan has a great effect on the world population.

If the population continues to increase, if the air and water continue to be polluted, if we don't do something to protect wild-plant and wildlife species will be declining. Species and biological communities have difficulty adapting to change. Economic opportunities and the quality of life of future generations are also put at risk. By protecting nature, we protect ourselves.

Let's unite together, hand in hand we stand all across the land.

We can make this world in which to live. Hand in hand. Control the population growth. Take good care of our nature.

Good morning, my dear teachers and friends! My name is Li Bingke, from class four O five. Today, I am very happy to be here. My topic is “Our School”.

早上好，男孩和女孩，我` m珍妮鵬，今天我演講的題目是：談論有意義的方法，我們可以利用的時間。首先，讓我問你一個問題：你在業餘時間做什麼，尤其是在你的假期?你只是呆在家裏，看電視，吃，睡?也許你會覺得`放鬆在第一時間，但如果我們一直這樣做，你會感到很無聊`。所以，最有意義的方式我`要介紹給你的是以part-time-job在你的假期。

是的，你是對的，有意義的使用方法的時候我`要介紹給你的是以part-time-job度假。此外，我們將工作地點不在你的家鄉，換句話說，它是一個完全陌生的環境`。也許你覺得amazy和瘋狂的時候，聽到它的，但我認爲你可以從中學到很多東西。首先，你可以學習如何做一個好工人：熟悉的工作安排，遵守規則和交朋友。此外，學習如何推銷你自己。公司是一個相對開放的社會，它需要你顯示自己在別人面前，它會幫助你在將來找到一份好工作。

part-time-job後，我們`會更加珍惜我們的時間，並找出如何快樂和自由是一個學生。我們`會努力學習，完成我們的作業效率，爲我們的夢想奮鬥。俗話說：昨天是歷史，明天是未知，但今天是個禮物。讓`珍惜並充分利用每一分鐘，我們的生活，並相信我們所做的有意義。

謝謝你.

Maybe they really believed it, or maybe they just wanted to make use of people's veneration, the ancient emperors always declared that they were the real dragons, the sons of God, while the royal ministers claimed to be the reincarnations of various constellations. But can the stars reincarnate?

Many people burn incense and kowtow, do good deeds and strive for virtues, not just for the present, but mainly to let God see their sincerity so as to be reborn into a better afterlife, or to achieve the highest enlightenment after several lives of practice. They do believe in afterlife. But I can't help asking: Suppose there were no afterlife, would you still do good deeds and strive for virtues? And If God does not see what you are doing, would you still be so upright and selfless? If you work, not for serving the public and liberating the others, but just for a better afterlife of your own, isn't it a little too selfish? Comparing with this kind of believers, those who don't believe in afterlife, but still keep doing good deeds, are the most sincere and honest philanthropists, because they do them not for themselves but for other.

You may wonder if I believe in afterlife. My answer is: I know nothing about my previous life, so I dare not make improper comments on afterlife. But I do hope there's afterlife! Because our present life is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding. I have so many dreams, so many wishes, so many ambitions, as well as so many regrets and concerns. If there were no afterlife, all of them will remain unrealized!

I'm not contented with the present commonplace life, I'm very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time, and I yearn for the perfection and maturity if I could start all over again. So believe it or not, I'd rather there were afterlife.

人自從出生開始，就會跑步，(Since the beginning of birth, we'll run)跑步是一種本能，是我們躲避傷害的方式(Running is an instinct, which is a way to avoid hurting)。但，更重要的是，跑步是一種能讓人變得更健康的運動(But, more importantly, running is a kind of movement which make us to become healthier.)。我們每年都要參加體質測試(Physique Examination)，男生要跑1000米，女生800米，可是總是有些人故意躲避，(Every year we have to participate in the Physique the Physique Examination boy should run 1000 meters. While 800 metres for there always some people, try to escape.)他們認爲，長跑對它們來說除了累和痛苦，並沒有帶來別的什麼。(They think that beside pain, Long-distance running did not bring anything else)

在我看來，跑步是一種能讓人變強的運動(In my opinion, Long-distance running is a sport which can make us stronger)。不僅僅是身體上讓自己變得更強壯，更重要的是在精神上(not only in our body,but also in our mand)。當你在跑1000米的時候，特別是跑到第二圈的時候，你會有10000個理由想停下來，(When I’m running, especially in the second round, I would have get 10,000 excuse to give up)。因爲沒有人強迫你跑下去，可是你手上的秒錶還在走(Because no one forces me to run down, but stopwatch in my hand is still going)。如果你現在停下來，意味着，你講沒有成績，前面的所有努力都將白費(If I stop, it means that I have get noting,what have done was in vain)。所以要堅持，再堅持(So I tell myselfe never give up)。不斷地強化自己的意識，讓自己成長，耐得住艱難困苦。(Again and again, I get loneliness.)

有些例子希望與大家分享(Now I hope to share with you some examples)：

1.

看過《阿甘正傳》的同學一定對其中他跑遍美國的畫面印象深刻。爲什麼阿甘要去跑步( Anyone who have seem the film "Forrest Gump" may impressed in a foce,whice is Gump run around of the United States)，他說：跑步是爲了忘記過去，心情不好的時候就去跑步，沒有目標的時候就跑步，需要某種東西讓自己平靜下來，迷失了自己想去找回來(Why Forrest Gump go running, he said: running is a way to forget the past,

and I feel bad when I’m running, running when I have no target, I need something to calm down, I want to look back because i lost myself.)。執着是他一次次成功的原因。(Attachment is the reason why he get succes again and again.)

Now let me lesion a music from the film.

當他跑步的時候，從一開始被人嘲笑，到最後成爲領袖，這就是一路收穫的過程。(The time when he was running from the always be laughed, In the end become a is the way the process of harvesting.)

2.

20xx屆的一個學長，也是杭電電子學院的，來自新疆，家裏很窮，可是他很有志氣(The second example.20xx a session of seniors, who come frome Xinjiang is also study in Hangzhoudianzi University Electronic College family is poor,

but he is very discouraged)。從大一開始，他每天都要到東邊的操場跑步，跑的也不快，每天堅持10000米，25圈，他畢業的成績非常好。Begin as a freshman, he goes to the east of the playground every day to do Long-distance running, not fast, but y day 10,000 meters, 25laps, 20xx he graduated vith a good resault.

最後，我想說，當你沒有目標的時候，就去跑步吧，那是件快樂的事。謝謝!!(Finally, I want to say, when you do not get goals, just run, it is a happy thing.

Thank you! !)

Hold Fast To Your Dreams

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.

However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

抓牢你的夢想

我今天有一個夢想。

我夢想有一天，幽谷上升，高山下降，崎嶇之地變平原，曲折之路成坦途。聖光展露，滿照人間。

這對馬丁路德金是怎樣的一個夢想啊。不過這個變化着的世界似乎在告訴我，在成長的過程中，人們卻不知不覺把他們的夢想弄丟了，而我自己也有時會覺得在告別很多童年的夢。

然而，我們是需要夢想的。夢想滋養我們的靈魂，夢想代表着我們被現實拉垮時依然具有的希望。它鼓勵我們不斷前進。大多數成功人士都是夢想家，同時也是普通人，只是他們敢於夢想敢於成就偉大。當我們還是孩子的時候，我們都夢想過做

做一番大事業，現在應當做的就是保存好那些夢想，再度恢復它們，並將它們實現。不過最難的是我們通常不知道怎樣付諸實施。那麼，就從最具體的目標開始，堅持去做吧。不要讓那些莫名的恐懼迷惑了我們的雙眼，影響了我們對未來的信念。用我們的天資和智慧，用我們的耐力和創造力，我們一定會實現夢想。

抓牢你的夢想，因爲如果夢想死亡，生活就成了一隻折斷翅膀的鳥再也不能飛翔。抓牢你的夢想，因爲如果失去夢想，生命就成了一塊覆蓋着冰雪的貧瘠的凍土。親愛的朋友們，想想那些過去的或已經死去的夢想吧。不管是什麼，重新將它撿起，並從今天開始讓它重生。

It is easy to describe success in terms of money, fame and reputation. But I believe that success is not external. I believe that success comes from within. My definition of success is to be true to yourself, and be true to others. That means, that you must cherish your personal ideal even in the face of adversity. I also believe that success is not discriminatory. Success is not restricted to such a class of people, in fact, it may be achieved by any person irrespective of his race, creed, gender and economic background. A good example of success is that of Beethoven. He is one of the world's most famous composers, yet he was deaf. He could not hear the majestic pieces of music that he created. Yet, in the face of this adversity, he was able to maintain his ideals''that of composing music.

To exemplify what success means to me, I pose a question to all of you. What brings us together here today? I believe that it is the beauty of the spoken word. The effect of pause and the sound of rhetoric are unique to the spoken word. I believe the beauty of the spoken word is even stronger for those who have difficulty in expressing themselves. These people are reclusive and had their emotions hidden within them. I once went to Australia and I saw two pictures, Once was drawn by a normal child, the other was drawn by a child with social inhibitions. The picture drawn by the normal child was simple and plain. The other was life'like, full of details and imagination. What this shows is that these are ideas, emotions and feelings that are locked internally in these children.

My ideal is to be the key, spreading the beauty of the spoken words to these children. These children have been neglected, but I feel that I can and should help these children to find themselves and be able to express themselves.

I realize that this is a difficult task, and there are many obstacles on the way. But I believe in my ideals and I will stick to them''even in the face of adversity. We should never have a premature abortion of ideals'let the child, let our ideals, stand the challenge. For a life without ideals is not living.

Thank you!

Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity? In 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.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

Today I would like to begin with a story. There was once a physical therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a census about mountain gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas cuddled their babies.

Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Diana Fossey, who spent most of her lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.

To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our eco-environment.

Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur - natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges are devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.

All these appalling facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been eroding our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 20xx the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.
