Have such a book，it says the adolescent age is 13 to 19 year old boy. Carefully thought，（you certainly refers to the students. Are standing on the starting point of a person.

　　參考翻譯：

　　人生，有3個(gè)階段—青春，中年，老年，而這些當(dāng)中最珍貴的就是青春，這一時(shí)期的任何舉動都會影響后期的生活，可以說，青春期是人生的基礎(chǔ)，后世的成功是建立在這個(gè)基礎(chǔ)上的.有這樣一本書，上面說青春期的年齡層是13—19歲的少年.細(xì)細(xì)一想，大家（當(dāng)然指同學(xué)啦.）都是站在起點(diǎn)的人了.

　　那本書還說，人是青春期有一股熱情，可以讓自己的青春變的轟轟烈烈，可以為了一些細(xì)節(jié)，感傷的.哭，這就是我們，快樂而不失沉穩(wěn)，沖動而不失感懷.從先在起，寫一本日記，長大后的某一天，一一個(gè)大人的平靜心態(tài)去看一遍，也許你會感動得哭出來，也許會大笑半天，也許會做很多動作，因?yàn)檫@是我們曾經(jīng)的青春，美好的像夢一樣，快樂像仙人一樣，樸實(shí)得像一樹葉，在社會這片大樹下辟出自己的樹陰，外面的炎熱與我們無關(guān)，我們只隔出自己的那片綠陰，放射著自己清涼，但我們會惋惜，因?yàn)槲覀兎胚^了太多機(jī)遇，也失敗了太多，這，就是我們，幸福的，不得懂珍惜的，淳樸的我們.在這個(gè)時(shí)期如果放棄了努力，那么前途會渺茫無光，在山區(qū)有那么多的孩子渴望讀書，只要一本書一些筆，還有一間可以上課的房子，別無他求，如果我們和他們一起上課，我不敢說我們這些城里的小孩比他們強(qiáng)多少，也許我們還不如這些我們眼中的“野孩子”強(qiáng)，因?yàn)橹挥惺ミ^的人才會更加懂得珍惜，彩繪更加認(rèn)真地面對每件事.

　　對于我們來說，初三后的中考就是一道坎，一件對于我們很重要很嚴(yán)肅的事情，能考到好高中嗎？能有一個(gè)美好的高中生活嗎？這是現(xiàn)在所有人的疑問我們周圍有許多人，中卻的說是失敗者，是敗不起的失敗者，也許是一次的失敗，讓他們寒了心，造就了一敗不起的他們.也許他們曾經(jīng)努力過，懊悔過，但來不及了，丟棄了就追不回來，其實(shí)每個(gè)人的實(shí)力都是相似的，只是缺了努力和信心，相信自己的力量，失敗了沒什么，但不能失去銳氣，就算結(jié)局的失敗讓你站不起來，也不至于躺著輸給生活，至少還有一次拼搏，以后再想起就不會這么遺憾，這么窩囊，不要留下遺憾，折實(shí)屬于我們的青春，因當(dāng)讓我們自己主宰，加油吧，也許，勝利由此而來.

　　Attitude The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts.

　　The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day, regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past.We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one stage we have.And that is our attitudes. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me ,and ninety percent how I react to it.And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.12

　　Keeping a Dream is an attitude toward life. With dreams, we can overcome different kinds of difficulties in life. I usually get discouraged easily when I fail in an exam. My head teacher told me "nothing is difficult if you dont lose heart.". I followed his advice and began to work harder. It was his encouragement that pulled me through. As long as I keep trying, obstacles can become bridges to success. Besides, its important for us to protect our dream. Dreams always lead to happiness, and success. Only when we are in pursuit of a dream can we live in a constructive way, can we satisfy our parents and shoulder the future responsibility.

　　honorable judges and dear friends, my name is maer dongyan, i’m very happy today to stand here to share my speech, my imagination, and my story as an air traffic controller with all of you. i, as a 35-year-old air traffic controller, have been working on the tower for nearly ten years. through these years’ working, i really come to love this . besides, as the husband of my beloved, the father of my 8-year-old daughter, and the son of my old parents, i also love my family, a happy family. however, it has been really hard to coordinate my work and my family.

　　it’s generally considered great to be an air traffic controller by the public, for the is believed to be well-paid and quite easy. i was also one of them before i started the work. but things have been entirely different from what i used to think. as an air traffic controller of the new century, we’re facing tasks and barriers greater and harder than ever, that is, we have to ensure the safety and order of the fast-developing civil aviation.

　　we’re burdened with pressure, responsibilities, the trust of hundreds of pilots, the lives of tens of thousands of passengers, and the hopes of millions of families. every step we take, every word we say is connected to the safety of passengers. and disasters may occur if we’re even a little bit careless. then, how can that be easy?

　　as a man who owns a family, i also have to take care of my family. still, it isn’t that easy. since i took the 10 years ago, i haven’t had enough time to be with my family. so many festivals have i spend with microphones, but not my family and friends, just because my needs me. so many times have my wifecomplained about my returning home late and having meals outside often, just because my needs me. and so many times, my mom or dad is sick in bed, but i cannot be there with them in time, just because my needs me.

　　i cannot fully devote myself to my family because my needs me, a lot of people need me. and again, as a man with a family, how can that be easy? even though i’m not competent as a father, a husband, and a son, i still love my family. my daughter once said that it was her happiest time to see me back from work. and it’s the same with me. i’m pleased and grateful to see that my family can support and understand my work and my little devotion to them. i have made many sacrifices as an air traffic controller.

　　i really feel sorry for my family. but as i help pilots find their destinations under terrible weather conditions, and then hear “thanks” from them, i’m satisfied. and as i see planes taking off and landing safely, and make sure that hundreds more families can get together, i’m comforted. i even seem to be able to see the happy smiles on their faces. such is my , though i cannot enjoy much of the happiness my family brings to me, i can experience the sense of responsibility through my work. i’ll never regret this, regret choosing my .

　　it is through these years that i know what responsibility and devotion really mean. and it is through these years that i realize what family really means to me---supporting and understanding. i really appreciate them. with my family as an anchor for me, i firmly believe that i can overcome all the difficulties on my way, and make a contribution to the cause of air traffic control. and i believe, i am, and always will be a member of civil aviation, and my family as well. that’s all for my speech today, thank you very much for your listening.

　　You know I learned a fact about airplanes the other day. This was – this was so surprising to see, I was talking to a pilot and he told me that many of his passengers think planes are dangerous to fly in. But he said actually, it is a lot more dangerous for a plane to stay on the ground. I say what? Like how does that sound what he said, he said because on the ground, the plane starts to unction and wear, much faster than it ever would if it was in the air. As I walked away I thought, yeah, makes total sense because planes were built to live in the skies. And every person was built to live out the dream they have inside. So it is perhaps the saddest loss to live a life on the ground without ever taking off.

　　親愛的同學(xué)們:

　　向著成功努力的過程,乍一看,就像一條黑漆的隧道,望不到頭,比如高三畢業(yè)班的學(xué)生,每天有做不完的作業(yè),忙不完的事,睡不夠的覺,許多人每天都要"頭懸梁錐刺骨,地挑燈夜戰(zhàn)",每天在"兩點(diǎn)一線"之間勞碌……一天天的生活就像復(fù)印機(jī)里印出來的`,一切都在重復(fù)。

　　別忘了,太陽是新的!全新的,是一種最美的心境!新的太陽,難道這不是一種希望嗎?每天都看見希望,就像是在黑口的夜里看見曙光,難道這不是一種幸福嗎?是的,沉重的負(fù)擔(dān)壓得我們幾乎崩潰了,太高的期望將我們緊緊地釘在地上,但也許最沉重的負(fù)擔(dān)同時(shí)也是一種生活充實(shí)的象征。

　　我們好比是在乘一輛車前往目的地,沿途的風(fēng)光很美,很誘人,但是你最好不要為了他們牽扯太多的精力, 而要使目光一直朝著終點(diǎn)的方向看,如果忍不住跳下車去欣賞暫時(shí)的美景,這輛車就開走了,也許你會看到另一輛車,也許最后你同樣到達(dá)目的地,但那也不是你人生準(zhǔn)點(diǎn)的時(shí)刻了。

　　求學(xué)的階段,就是為實(shí)現(xiàn)人生目標(biāo)邁出重要一步的時(shí)候,如果錯(cuò)過這個(gè)機(jī)會,你將追悔莫及,所以狠狠心,女孩子們暫且丟下那些漂亮的衣服和浪費(fèi)時(shí)間的打扮,男孩子們拋開那誘人的漫畫書和電腦游戲,放一放那一段遙不可及的"青蘋果"之戀吧!

　　知足者常樂,不知足者常進(jìn),很少有人能知道需付出多少努力才能實(shí)現(xiàn)心中的夢想,我們只能不斷前進(jìn)、前進(jìn),再前進(jìn),"一萬年太久我們只爭朝夕"！

　　只爭朝夕,在你茫然的時(shí)候;只爭朝夕,在你沮喪的時(shí)候;只爭朝夕,在你懶散的時(shí)候,只爭朝夕,在你還擁有夢想的時(shí)候;太陽每天都是新的,生活永遠(yuǎn)充滿希望,現(xiàn)在就開始吧,把握每個(gè)瞬間,不要再猶豫！

　　But make no mistake, engagement with the arts is integral to the experience of every Dartmouth student – not just those who actively create art. I grew up in a small mining town in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. A rough-and-tumble place, my town had no shortage of taverns, but not a single movie theater. So, when I arrived at Dartmouth in the fall of 1973, movies were a magnificent, unexplored terrain; and the Film Society became my obsession. My freshman fall, the Film Society ran a series of John Ford classics, and I marveled at these films – how they could stir such deep feelings with their irony and nostalgia. A year later, the Film Society became yesterday’s news when Springsteen played at the Hop.

　　For me, the arts at Dartmouth opened my mind to entirely new ways of thinking, helped me see the world as it is, and imagine the world as it could be.

　　Class of ’19, you embody Dartmouth’s lofty mission: to prepare our graduates to lead lives of leadership and impact. The arts have always been a magnetic presence on this campus exactly because they are core to that mission.

Ladies and Gentlemen: My topic is Honesty.

　　As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story.

　　65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure. He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20xx, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome. When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.

　　Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character. Thank you very much.

　　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.
