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!

in our whole lives,we'll meet too much people but only a few can be our best friends. when staying with them,we can release ourself completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry together. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
but in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position in the society and to earn more money for their work. they have few time to share with their friends. with the time goes by, they will be far away from each other.
friend is kind of treasure in our lives. it's actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it also likes a cup of hot tea, when we are in bed time, it will warm our broken hearts.
friends,especially best friends. it is what we should have in our lives,and it can make our lives be colorful go beyond our imagination.
thanks for your listening. this is what i concerned.

helping every american with autism achieve their full potential is one of this administration’s top priorities. at the u.s. department of health and human services, we continue to strive to meet the complex needs of all people with autism spectrum disorders (asd) and their families. while there is no cure, early intervention is critical and can greatly improve a child’s development.
perhaps the biggest step we’ve taken to support those affected by autism and their families happened over a year ago, with the signing of the affordable care act. now, new insurance plans are required to cover autism screening and developmental assessments for children at no cost to parents. insurers will also no longer be allowed to deny children coverage for a pre-existing condition such as asd or to set arbitrary lifetime or annual limits on benefits.
also, thanks to the new law, young adults are allowed to stay on their family health insurance until they turn 26. for a young adult with autism spectrum disorder and their family, that means peace of mind. it means more flexibility, more options, and more opportunity to reach their full potential.
ultimately, there is more support for americans with autism than ever before. this means more promise of new breakthroughs that will help us understand autism even better. but in order to continue meeting the needs of people with autism, the combating autism act must be fully reauthorized. we still have a long way to go. working collaboratively with important partners, the affordable care act and the combating autism act will allow us to continue important research and develop and refine vital treatments.
there are still many unknowns. however, one thing is certain. we will continue to work harder than ever to find solutions and provide support to individuals with asd and their families. together, we can help reduce disparities and allow everyone to actualize their greatest potential.
kathleen sebelius is secretary of health and human services.

各位——、女士們、先生們、同志們、朋友們：
大家好！一元復始、萬象更新。在這新春佳節即將到來之際，我們在這里歡聚一堂，共敘友情，喜慶佳節。首先，我謹代表——向全體——并通過你們向各位家屬，向支持關心我市博物館建設與發展各界人士致以節日的祝賀和親切的慰問。祝你們新年大吉，萬事如意！
一、春節的來歷：
春節，是農歷的歲首，春節的另一名稱叫過年，是中國最盛大、最熱鬧、最重要的一個古老傳統節日，也是中國人所獨有的節日。是中華文明最集中的表現。自西漢以來，春節的習俗一直延續到今天。春節一般指除夕和正月初一。但在民間，傳統意義上的春節是指從臘月初八的臘祭或臘月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十五，其中以除夕和正月初一為高潮。如何過慶賀這個節日，在千百年的歷史發展中，形成了一些較為固定的風俗習慣，有許多還相傳至今。在春節這一傳統節日期間，我國的漢族和大多數少數民族都有要舉行各種慶�；顒�，這些活動大多以祭祀神佛、祭奠祖先、除舊布新、迎禧接福、祈求豐年為主要內容�；顒有问截S富多彩，帶有濃郁的民族特色。 春節的來歷有一種傳說，中國古時候有一種叫“年”的怪獸，頭長觸角，兇猛異常。“年”長年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜傷害人命。因此，每到除夕這天，村村寨寨的人們扶老攜幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”獸的傷害。有一年除夕，從村外來了個乞討的老人。鄉親們一片匆忙恐慌景象，只有村東頭一位老婆婆給了老人些食物，并勸他快上山躲避“年”獸，那老人笑道：“婆婆若讓我在家呆一夜，我一
定把?年?獸攆走�！崩掀牌湃匀焕^續勸說，乞討老人笑而不語。 半夜時分，“年”獸闖進村。它發現村里氣氛與往年不同：村東頭老婆婆家，門貼大紅紙，屋內燭火通明。“年”獸渾身一抖，怪叫了一聲。將近門口時，院內突然傳來“砰砰啪啪”的炸響聲，“年”渾身戰栗，再不敢往前湊了。原來，“年”最怕紅色、火光和炸響。這時，婆婆的家門大開，只見院內一位身披紅袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大驚失色，狼狽逃躥了。第二天是正月初一，避難回來的人們見村里安然無恙十分驚奇。這時，老婆婆才恍然大悟，趕忙向鄉親們述說了乞討老人的許諾。這件事很快在周圍村里傳開了，人們都知道了驅趕“年”獸的辦法。從此每年除夕，家家貼紅對聯、燃放爆竹；戶戶燭火通明、守更待歲。初一一大早，還要走親串友道喜問好。這風俗越傳越廣，成了中國民間最隆重的傳統節日。
二、春節的習俗
1、臘月二十三 祭灶
我國春節，一般是從祭灶揭開序幕的。祭灶，是一項在我國民間影響很大、流傳極廣的習俗。舊時，差不多家家灶間都設有“灶王爺”神位。
2、臘月二十四 掃塵
“臘月二十四，撣塵掃房子” ，據《呂氏春秋》記載，我國在堯舜時代就有春節掃塵的風俗。按民間的說法：因“塵”與“陳”諧音，新春掃塵有“除陳布新”的涵義，其用意是要把一切窮運、晦氣統統掃出門。這一習俗寄托著人們破舊立新的愿望和辭舊迎新的祈求。 每逢春節來臨，家家戶戶都要打掃環境，清洗各種器具，拆洗被褥窗簾，灑掃
六閭庭院，撣拂塵垢蛛網，疏浚明渠暗溝。到處洋溢著歡歡喜喜搞衛生、干干凈凈迎新春的歡樂氣氛。
3、臘月二十五 接玉皇
舊俗認為灶神上天后，天帝玉皇于農歷十二月二十五日親自下界,查察人間善惡，并定來年禍福，所以家家祭之以祈福，稱為“接玉皇”。這一天起居、言語都要謹慎，爭取好表現，以博取玉皇歡心，降福來年。
4、臘月二十七、二十八 洗浴
傳統民俗中在這兩天要集中地洗澡、洗衣，除去一年的晦氣，準備迎接來年的新春，京城有"二十七洗疚疾，二十八洗邋遢"的諺語。臘月二十六洗浴為“洗福祿”。
5、臘月三十除夕 貼門神、貼春聯、守歲、爆竹、吃年夜飯、給壓歲錢、祭祖
除夕的意思是“月窮歲盡”，人們都要除舊部新，有舊歲至此而除，來年另換新歲的意思，是農歷全年最后的一個晚上。故此期間的活動都圍繞著除舊部新，消災祈福為中心。
春聯、貼福字、貼窗花、貼年畫、貼掛千。這些都具有祈福、裝點居所的民俗功能。反映了人民大眾的風俗和信仰，寄托著人們對未來的希望。
守歲，我國民間在除夕有守歲的習慣，俗名“熬年”。守歲從吃年夜飯開始，這頓年夜飯要慢慢地吃，從掌燈時分入席，有的人家一直要吃到深夜。守歲的習俗，既有對如水逝去的歲月含惜別留戀之情，又有
對來臨的新年寄以美好希望之意。
爆竹，中國民間有“開門爆竹”一說。即在新的一年到來之際，家家戶戶開門的第一件事就是燃放爆竹，以嗶嗶叭叭的爆竹聲除舊迎新。爆竹是中國特產，其起源很早，至今已有兩千多年的歷史。放爆竹可以創造出喜慶熱鬧的氣氛，是節日的一種娛樂活動，可以給人們帶來歡愉和吉利。王安石的《元日》詩：
爆竹聲中一歲除，
春風送暖人屠蘇。
千門萬戶曈曈日。
總把新桃換舊符。
描繪了我國人民歡度春節盛大的喜慶情景。
在古代的農業社會里，大約自臘月初八以后，家庭主婦們就要忙著張羅過年的食品了。因為腌制臘味所需的時間較長，所以必須盡早準備，蒸年糕，年糕因為諧音“年高”，再加上有著變化多端的口味，幾乎成了家家必備的應景食品。年糕的式樣有方塊狀的黃、白年糕，象征著黃金、白銀，寄寓新年發財的意思。年糕的口味因地而異。
餃子，北方年夜飯有吃餃子的傳統，但各地吃餃子的習俗亦不相同，有的`地方除夕之夜吃餃子，有的地方初一吃餃子，吃餃子是表達人們辭舊迎新之際祈福求吉愿望的特有方式。餃子就意味著更歲交子，過春節吃餃子被認為是大吉大利。另外餃子形狀像元寶，包餃子意味著包住福運，吃餃子象征生活富裕。
吃年夜飯，也叫團圓夜，離家在外的游子都要不遠千里萬里趕回家來
是春節家家戶戶最熱鬧愉快的時候。大年夜．豐盛的年菜擺滿一桌，圍坐桌旁，共吃團圓飯，心頭的充實感真是難以言喻。
給壓歲錢，壓歲錢是由長輩發給晚輩的，有的家里是吃完年夜飯后，人人坐在桌旁不許走，等大家都吃完了，由長輩發給晚輩，并勉勵兒孫在在新的一年里學習長進，好好做人。
6、正月初一 拜年
春節早晨，開門大吉，先放爆竹，叫做“開門炮仗”。爆竹聲后，碎紅滿地，燦若云錦，稱為“滿堂紅”。這時滿街瑞氣，喜氣洋洋。 春節里的一項重要活動，是到新朋好友家和鄰那里祝賀新春，舊稱拜年。新年的初一，人們都早早起來，穿上最漂亮的衣服，打扮得整整齊齊，出門去走親訪友，相互拜年，恭祝來年大吉大利。拜年的方式多種多樣，有的是同族長帶領若干人挨家挨戶地拜年；有的是同事相邀幾個人去拜年；也有大家聚在一起相互祝賀，稱為“團拜”。由于登門拜年費時費力，后來一些上層人物和士大夫便使用各貼相互投賀，由此發展出來后來的“賀年片”。春節拜年時，晚輩要先給長輩拜年，祝長輩人長壽安康，長輩可將事先準備好的壓歲錢分給晚輩，據說壓歲錢可以壓住邪祟，因為“歲”與“祟”諧音，晚輩得到壓歲錢就可以平平安安度過一歲。
7、舞龍
舞龍，又名「耍龍燈」、「龍燈舞」，是漢民族傳統的舞蹈形式之一。每逢喜慶節日，各地都有舞龍的習俗。
舞龍起源于漢代，經歷代而不衰。舞龍最初是作為祭祀祖先、祈求甘

親愛的先生/女士，
我問是你學校的教學方法和你是好學生在這方面知名。
我一直在北京任教的中學三年英語。我永遠不會厭倦了我的工作或我的學生。我喜歡在有趣的經驗教訓作出了很多更有趣，使枯燥和教訓少一些。所以我一直對如何改善我的教學激烈，通過閱讀努南，哈珀和威多森和參加外國教師講課。
我明白，良好的英語老師就是一個很好的演講者和作家。這就是為什么我做了很多工作，以提高我的耳朵和舌頭和手所有的時間。我從來沒有一天不通過后，英國廣播公司說。我說在大多數情況下日常英語。到了晚上，當我喜歡我的退休和隱私，我的座位在自己的電腦前，開始寫我的日記。我從來沒有用完的'東西或條件，但無可否認，有時短的時間。這非常有趣使用電腦寫作，這必將沖擊肖和莎士比亞。
我會閱讀有關英語教學，或英語教學重要的書籍，正與所有重要的思想和人的朋友。當然，我會寫一些論文，被公布與否。這將是我的榮幸能在老師的研究項目1宗。我知道這是可能的。
你的誠然，
簡奧斯汀

every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing.
i could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and unforgettable. justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.

Honorable Judges, fellow students: Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?
The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe in our future.

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 them 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's 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.
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!

friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. it is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it is also like a cup of tea. when we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
however, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. all of us have to spare some time for personal lives. we have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. when staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
as we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. but it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. there is a famous motto saying that “a friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” it is really true. we have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. when we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.
finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts.

Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I’d like to start with a group of pictures.
"Modern and advanced"? This society forgets, and ignores the other two thirds of human beings. It's far from the ideal! We call ideal as a utopian, a place where reality does not exist. A few people still look forward to the ideals. We make fun of them, considering they are naive. Will we still be content to live in such a society, if misfortune drops to us? No! Of cause not!
When we feel the warmth of the sun, these people, endure great sorrows and pains. Can we imagine that? They are our brother and sisters!
Facing them, will we still complain about our own misfortune?
Facing them, will we still have the mood shouting for our own freedom? Facing them, will we still want to have more and more unnecessary stuff?
They are unable to meet their needs, even the basic needs of survival! Everyone, as a member of humanity, shouldn't feel ashamed? Our luxury deprived their lives, our indifference violated our soul, and our barbarity destroyed human civilization!
What's the ideal society? It's a society no one worries about their living, a society no one is refused from education, a society everyone can pursue his/her own happiness! The ideal society is filled with love, joy and kindness. In that society, we can touch the other's hearts, we can share our dreams and most important, we can just be the true men!
Let's break the ethnic divide, bridge the gap between rich and poor, hand in hand, to build a Great wall, protecting us from evil; to construct a steady bridge, connecting reality to the ideal society! Let's pursue for that, that's the only way to the bright future! They are watching us! Thank you!
Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease, says the World Health Organisation.
According to their figures, it is responsible for approximately five million deaths worldwide every year.
Tobacco smoking is a known or probable cause of approximately 25 diseases, and even the WHO says that its impact on world health is not fully assessed.
Heart attack and stroke
UK studies show that smokers in their 30s and 40s are five times more likely to have a heart attack than non-smokers.
Tobacco contributes to the hardening of the arteries, which can then become blocked and starve the heart of bloodflow, causing the attack.
Often, smokers who develop this will require complex and risky heart bypass surgery.
If you smoke for a lifetime, there is a 50% chance that your eventual death will be smoking-related - half of all these deaths will be in middle age.
Smoking also increases the risk of having a stroke.
Lung problems
Another primary health risk associated with smoking are lung cancer, which kills more than 20,000 people in the UK every year.
US studies have shown that men who smoke increase their chances of dying from the disease by more than 22 times.
Women who smoke increase this risk by nearly 12 times.
Lung cancer is a difficult cancer to treat - long term survival rates are poor.
Smoking also increases the risk of oral, uterine, liver, kidney, bladder, stomach, and cervical cancers, and leukaemia.
Another health problem associated with tobacco is emphysema, which, when combined with chronic bronchitis, produces chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
he lung damage which causes emphysema is irreversible, and makes it extremely difficult to breathe.
Harm to children
Smoking in pregnancy greatly increases the risk of miscarriage, is associated with lower birthweight babies, and inhibited child development.
Smoking by parents following the birth is linked to sudden infant death syndrome, or cot death, and higher rates of infant respiratory illness, such as bronchitis, colds, and pneumonia.
Nicotine, an ingredient of tobacco, is listed as an addictive substance by the US authorities.
Although the health risks of smoking are culmulative, giving up can yield health benefits regardless of the age of the patient, or the length of time they have been smoking.
Future impact
By 20xx, the WHO expects the worldwide death toll to reach 10 million, causing 17.7% of all deaths in developed countries.
There are believed to be 1.1 billion smokers in the world, 800 million of them in developing countries.

the east and the west, let’s enjoy the combination of the two cultures?
kipling said:“east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet!” but now, a century later, they have met.
they have met in business. they have met in education. they have met in the arts. some people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but i believe that the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. we can make western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. we can enjoy the best of both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.
i love beijing and hennan opera because it always reminds me of who i am. but i am also a fan of pop music, especially english songs. so i have combined eastern melody with western language. it is called western henna opera.
when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other. when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture. then there are certain things some people may not like. to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it. to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge. before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures. at present, they may run in different courses. but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.
right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow! thank you!

i come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. i join you in this meeting because i am in deepest agreement with the aims and work of the organization which has brought us together: clergy and laymen concerned about vietnam. the recent statements of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart, and i found myself in full accord when i read its opening lines: "a time comes when silence is betrayal." and that time has come for us in relation to vietnam.
the truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world. moreover, when the issues at hand seem as perplexed as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict, we are always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertainty; but we must move on.
and some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. we must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. and we must rejoice as well, for surely this is the first time in our nation's history that a significant number of its religious leaders have chosen to move beyond the prophesying of smooth patriotism to the high grounds of a firm dissent based upon the mandates of conscience and the reading of history. perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. if it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us.
