我的觀點是，就未來而言，并無所謂不可避免之事。相反，未來是一系列無窮盡的可能和機遇，我們的責任便是充分地利用這些可能和機遇。我把人的大腦看成是一塊海綿，經過長期的發育，它的主要功能是吸收知識和技能，以及各種各樣的事物。我敢肯定，在座的某些醫生正在對我說的醫理皺眉，但我仍要說下去。我們以后步入了社會，海綿脹得鼓鼓的，于是我們開始壓擠它，就是說輪到我們把信息和向他人傳授了。

我們擠了又擠，為的是把里面存儲的東西取出來。當某些人不停地擠，天天擠著，不停地使用里面存儲的東西時，終有一天會擠得空空的，變成又干又硬的一團。他們發表千篇一律的演說，寫著雷同的文章，說著老生常談的話，用萬古不變的方法解決新出現的問題。他們永遠在原地踏步，束縛在時代的局限里，他們的頭腦里滿是蕭條時期、二次大戰、60年代、90年代，這就是他們的現狀。但也可能有另一種現狀。重新充實那塊海綿。在你們的一生中，要像在校讀書時一樣，不斷地選修新的課程。我不是說，要你們真的去選課，而是說要接近世界。

整個世界是一張精彩的無窮盡的課表，你們要從中吸收到新鮮而營養豐富的生命之水。富蘭克林·羅斯?？偨y在大法官霍爾姆斯90壽辰時去看望他，發現老人正坐在書房的熊熊爐火之前埋首書本之中。羅斯福便問他：“大法官先生，您干什么呢?”霍爾姆斯看了看他說：“我在訓練我的大腦，總統先生?！逼鋵嵥谧詫W希臘語?，F在我勸你們用不斷更新的熱情對待你們的未來。我還要向你們推薦一種價值體系。你們也許注意到了，出版物正如春潮一般充滿了論述價值觀的作品。價值觀和道德觀看來又重新時髦起來了。但我和諸位都知道，價值觀不是時髦，而是文明的基礎。我們看重的是自由、正義、責任、慈善、誠實、寬容、法制、宗教、信仰和自我——這一套戒律規范著我們的行為。你們已經用了許多寶貴時間去檢驗和評價過許多思想和理想，試圖確定什么是好的，什么更好，要以什么指導我們的行動。在你們整個一生中，當你們需要作出道義上的決定時，你們將繼續進行這種檢驗和評價。我勸你們，不要放棄這種責任，不要害怕作出道義上的決定，因為猶豫不定將一事無成?，F在我并不勸你們去買一副望遠鏡。我勸你們要有的勇氣。審視一下自己的內心，僅僅反問一句：“我究竟希望有怎樣的前途?”然后保持實現自己理想的熱情和道義上的信念。對即將離校的優秀兒女來說，我們生活的時代是多么美好和精彩啊!不論你們從事什么事業，新的事業、新的挑戰、新的機遇每天都在出現。羅賓·威廉推廣的一句拉丁諺語是“把握今天”。

把握住今天，也就是把握住了未來的日子。親愛的畢業生們，請記住，生活不是一場彩排。生活中的成績不是我們的目的地，而是一段旅程。

愿命運的風風雨雨使你們的一生充滿歡樂和希望。表現出你們的熱情吧!上帝保佑你們大家。

十年前，有一個男孩，他出身貧寒，家徒四壁，他瘦柔如豆芽，身高一米七的個兒，體重只有九十七斤;他說話帶著濃重方言口音，讓人聽著無比費力;他上課總喜歡積極發言，卻總是會臉紅耳赤聲音不斷顫抖;他的長相平凡的讓人覺得奇怪，他的能力一般的讓人覺得蹩腳，沒有人會把優秀兩個和他掛鉤。他，太平凡，平凡的大家經常會忽略他的存在。

在一次中教法的課堂上，老師要大家說出自己的夢想。他對著老師、對著全班一百多個同學的用帶著濃重方言口音的普通話鄭重許諾：“十年后，我一定會給大家一個驚喜，我一定會成為一個優秀的老師，我一定會教出全省最優秀的學生，教出全省最好成績，教出全省最牛的班級。”話聲剛落，以為教室里會掌聲陣陣的他發現，班上一百多人，平靜如水，似乎剛剛沒有人說過什么。

十年后，一個晚上，他的大學班主任肖老師，他的大學中教法老師歐陽教授，他的最好同學和朋友，紛紛給他打電話，他們都說：“我們在騰訊新聞網上看到關于你和你狀元學生的報道了!恭喜你，你真的很棒，你是我們見過的最棒的學生，最棒的同學，最棒的朋友!”此刻的他，心中的那種激動，真的無法用語言來表達;想起那個承諾的時刻，就仿佛在昨天，時間過的是如此的快。他終于明白了什么叫十年如一日，什么叫彈指一揮間，而他的那份激動，來得時那么艱辛，那么漫長，那么突然，又是那么幸福，那么快速，那么必然。

十年前，男孩說完那個夢想后，就曾默默地對自己講：我知道我是根草，但我更知道，我就是草，也要做一根不同凡俗的草!

十年后的他，做到了!他把十年前同學們一致認為的白日夢，徹徹底底變成了現實。他真正的站起來了，頑強的站起來了!那樣不屈，那樣自豪!

親愛的同學們，你們應該已經知道：他就是，你們面前的小熊老師!

那個不不起眼的小男生或許仍然還是不起眼，但已經不重要了。因為，歲月已經賦予了他深沉的底蘊和堅強的內心;那個從事語文教學的口音濃重的蹩腳孩子，卻已經不再膽小害羞像女孩了，他已經可以滔滔不絕、口若懸河、泰然自若、淡定自如了!

可是，我還不滿足，這只是我人生邁出的一小步，我還有個偉大的夢想，那就是：再用十年，實現成為中國教育改革家的夢想!

為了這個夢想，我沒有理會同僚說的有了成績何必那么忘我投入傻傻付出的論調，我沒有自我滿足、自我放松、自我感覺良好。

我依然重復著在外人看來單調乏味辛苦勞累的工作，我依舊勤勞勤奮、堅強不屈、激情澎湃、精神抖擻、勇往直前。

而當看到追求夢想的可愛的的你們時，我內心是多么的激動!因為我知道，你們是多么的不容易，你們經歷了多少的考驗才來到留在這個神圣的地方，精神的折磨，安逸的動搖。但是，你們來了，你們留下了，來得那么果斷，留的那么堅決，多么像自己，那個不屈于世俗、不動搖于困難的自己，與你們，不需交談，已經成為知己，已經是志同道合的摯友了!

可愛的小熊用十個年磨一劍，毅然決然!

可愛的大家用十個月磨一劍，一樣毅然決然!

我們是如此的相似，我們是這么的統一!我們擁有一個共同的名叫完美團隊，我們擁有一個共同稱呼是追夢行者!

我毫不掩飾我對大家的欣賞和敬佩，大家用勇敢感動著我，用奮斗激勵著我，我發誓要用激情點燃大家，我發誓要用不屈凝聚大家，我發誓要和大家一起直面問題，不屈奮斗，堅毅拼搏，用不懈地努力再次創造整完美團隊巔峰，迎接只是屬于強者的燦爛輝煌!

我們知道：只有埋頭，只有把握現在，只有甘于平凡，又有甘于單調孤獨，只有堅守那份寶貴的寧靜，才能走到那個屬于自己的巔峰!走下去，必需的，沒有理由，哪怕一直孤獨。況且不會，我們這里有那么多的伙伴，我們站在一起，一起奮斗，為夢想，為友誼，為完美團隊，為人生美好絢爛的華麗轉身!

十個月，只要十個月，我們一定會走向我們夢想的那個巔峰;因為，我們激情澎湃，因為我們精神抖擻，因為我們不屈頑強，因為我們理智執著!在我們的人生典里，沒有懦弱，沒有恐懼，沒有退縮，沒有放棄，絕對不會有悔恨遺憾;在我們的人生典只有：頑強，淡定和燦爛輝煌!

再看吧，等我們十個月，世人一定會驚奇;等我們十個月，我們的奇跡一定會讓所有人詫異!

當我們登上那個巔峰時，世人一定會記?。何覀?，是無與倫比的強悍無敵的完美團隊!

thirty college students across the country attended the tenth 21st century cup national english speaking contest in beijing on april 10. eventually, xia peng, from nanjing university was named the champion. the second and third places went to zhang jing, a sophomore from china foreign affairs university, and zhang a xu, from hong kong polytechnic university, respectively. more than 1000 college students in beijing are lucky birds to listen to the speeches on the spot in friendship hotel. just make to it the finals, they had to get past 60 others speaking on “the impact of globalization on traditional chinese values”. that was at the semi-final on april 8-9. what will chinese college students think about the impact? each contestant had his own take on the subject. xia summed up globalization by saying: “it’s just controversial and hard to say whether it is good or bad.” xia took the old wall of his city, nanjing, as a metaphor. he spoke about the conflict over whether to protect the old walls or tear them down to represent the conflict of ideas. he suggested that people protect the wall as a valuable relic while tearing down the “intangible walls” of their minds that prevent communication. while some other students are more focusing on the impact of globalization on family relations, attitudes towards love, and the past 10 years, the national english speaking competition has given contestants a chance to speak on a variety of topics closely related to their lives. chinese students become more open-minded and receive various ideas and thinking over the decade. diversity becomes more obvious on campus, students have more opportunities to express and show themselves. it’s not an easy task for the contestants to win through the fierce competition. owning to their passion, hard work and persistence, they finally succeeded in the xin, the first champion of the national contest, is now an anchorperson of cctv-9. recalling the passion of study on campus, she said: “when you want to express your idea by a foreign language without finding a right way, you’re really upset. then you have to encourage yourself, and after a long term of bitterness, suddenly you find you get the right way with joy.” with the champion title in 21st century cup, liu attended the international public speaking competition in london in may 1996 afterward and got the first prize winner in surprised the audience, since she came from accounting major instead of english major. gu qiubei, then 22 years old, was a senior in shanghai foreign studies university. while being asked whether she had some good methods to learn english, she said: “learn english with passion and enthusiasm.” attracted by the greatness of english language, gu even changed her major from accounting to english in her postgraduate study. the most important issue in english learning process she pointed out is personal interests. only people interested in english benefit a lot from the learning methods and those with passion will finally achieve their chief of global media giant viacom sumner redstone gave a speech in tsinghua university on his autobiography a passion to win, he was asked what made him to restart his career at the age of 60, the 81-year-old media tycoon said: “firstly, there’s a self-driving force in my deep heart, which keeps my passion to succeed and surpass others; secondly, i don’t think i’m too old to leave work, actually i love my work very much.”some of the contestants have achieved their dreams as redstone; still others are on the way to their dream. with a passion to win, you will overcome obstacles and succeed at the end.i’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. people who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. the old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for ancestors liked to build walls. they built walls in beijing, xi’an, nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakes across half our country. they built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. this tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to perceptions, however, changed after i made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city. my classmates and i were walking with some foreign students. as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads. suddenly one foreign student asked me, “where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”“we’re already in the eastern suburbs,” i replied. he seemed taken aback, “i thought you chinese had walls for everything.” his remark set off a heated debate. at one point,he likened our walled cities to “jails”, while i insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had no debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from this student. for instance, he told me that some major universities like oxford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls. i have to admit that we do have many walls in china, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible. we will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our me give another example. a year ago, when i was working on a term paper, i needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. however, the librarian coldly rejected my request to borrow it, saying, “you can’t borrow this book, you’re not a student here.” in the end, i had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy. meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the the beginning of this semester, i heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my experience wouldn’t be repeated. barriers would be replaced by bridges. an inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library. with globalization and china integrated into the world, i believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.i know that globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. but one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to china’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their role in the modern how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? should we tear them down? definitely not. my city, like beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. these walls attract historians, archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history and cultural heritage. walls have become bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. if the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great changes in the role of their walls. they are now bridges that link east and west, south and north, and all countries of the world. our cultural heritage will survive globalizatio

尊敬的各位評委：

在座的各位觀眾你們好!今天我演講的題目是青春的誓言!

作為新一代的我們理想是豐滿的，我們對未來充滿激情，但是我們卻不得不承認，現實是骨感的!因為青春不僅僅需要激情，同時也需要一顆求實進取的心!每一個人都有自己的夢想，然而夢想總是離現實相隔萬里。有些人夢想成為教書育人的人民教師，有些人夢想成為救死扶傷的白衣天使，有的人夢想成為保家衛國的人民子弟兵，有的人夢想成為人類社會發展的工程師……不管是教師也好，醫生、戰士還是工程師，只要對國家、對社會奉獻了自己的價值，他們都有同一個美麗的名，叫做“人類綠色靈魂工程師”青春是我們現在所擁有的最寶貴的財富，我們的生活應該充滿激情!青春，充滿了夢想，然而我們的生活中有許許多多的無奈，當我們經歷了越來越多的坎坷，我們是否會對未來產生一絲迷茫，我相信答案是肯定的!但是這并不是我們可以失敗的理由，也絕不是我們就此沉淪的原因，青春應該充滿朝氣，記得奧斯特洛夫斯基的<鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的>中有這么一段話：“生活賦予我們一種巨大的和無限高貴的禮品，這就是青春：充滿著力量，充滿著期待，充滿著求知和斗爭的志向，充滿著希望和信心的青春!”的確如此。

青：是綠色，是生命的顏色，春，是季節，是成長的季節，青春是人生最美好的季節，青春是人生最鏗鏘的篇章，青春是摧枯拉朽的豪情，青春是旭日東升力量，青春的我們意氣風發，青春的我們敢為人先，青春的我們斗志昂揚!

少年興則國興，小年強則國強!此時的我們正當年少，正如一柄剛剛出爐的刀，容不得版刻的等待遇遲疑，否則只會在似水的歲月中慢慢氧化失去光澤，隨即斑駁、銹蝕、風化，最后成為一塊廢鐵!有人說，19世紀是英國人的世紀，20世紀是美國人的世紀，而21世紀，就是我們中國人的世紀，中國經過幾十年來的艱苦建設，已取得了“乘長風，破萬里浪”的迅猛發展，但我們不要忘記，我們仍然是個發展中的國家，還有許許多多地方有待完善和發展，要想國家富強，就必須努力，而希望就寄予在我們這一代人身上。有一句俗語說，能登上金塔的生物只有兩種：鷹和蝸牛。雖然我們不能人人都像雄鷹一樣一飛沖天，但我們至少可以像蝸牛那樣憑著自己的耐力默默前行。

謝謝大家。
