i have the answer to a question that we've all asked. the question is, why is it that the letter x represents the unknown? now i know we learned that in math class, but now it's everywhere in the culture -- the x prize, the x-files, project x, tedx. where'd that come from?
about six years ago i decided that i would learn arabic, which turns out to be a supremely logical language. to write a word or a phrase or a sentence in arabic is like crafting an equation, because every part is extremely precise and carries a lot of information. that's one of the reasons so much of what we've come to think of as western science and mathematics and engineering was really worked out in the first few centuries of the common era by the persians and the arabs and the turks.
this includes the little system in arabic called al-jebra. and al-jebr roughly translates to “the system for reconciling disparate parts.“ al-jebr finally came into english as algebra. one example among many.
the arabic texts containing this mathematical wisdom finally made their way to europe -- which is to say spain -- in the 11th and 12th centuries. and when they arrived there was tremendous interest in translating this wisdom into a european language.
but there were problems. one problem is there are some sounds in arabic that just don't make it through a european voice box without lots of practice. trust me on that one. also, those very sounds tend not to be represented by the characters that are available in european languages.
here's one of the culprits. this is the letter sheen, and it makes the sound we think of as sh -- “sh.“ it's also the very first letter of the word shalan, which means “something“ just like the the english word “something“ -- some undefined, unknown thing.
now in arabic, we can make this definite by adding the definite article “al.“ so this is al-shalan -- the unknown thing. and this is a word that appears throughout early mathematics, such as this 10th century derivation of proofs.

In Calaveras, California, there lived a man whose name was Jim Smiley. Jimenjoyed betting somuch that he would bet on anything. If anyone said goodmorning to him, he would bet themthat it was not a good morning. Whenever therewas a horse race or a chicken fight, Jim wouldbet on it. He didn’t care whichside he bet on, as long as he had a bet.
One day, Jim showed a frog to a stranger who had just arrived in Calaveras,and bet thestranger forty dollars that the frog can jump farther and faster thanany other in CalaverasCounty. The stranger said he didn’t see anything about thefrog different from any other, and ifhe had a frog he would bet Jim. Jim lefthis frog with the stranger and go out to find a frog forthe stranger. Meanwhile,the stranger took out a bag of gunshot, forcing the frog’s mouthopen and pouredthe shot into it.
Soon Jim returned with a frog for the stranger.The two frogs were put onthe floor, and theneach man gave his frog a push. The stranger’s frog hopped offsmartly. But Jim’s frog just satthere, unable to move an inch. Jim had nochoice. He gave forty dollars to the stranger, whotook the money and startedaway. Jim picked up his frog, and found it extremely heavy. Heturned it upsidedown, and the gunshot came out. He knew he had been fooled and, like a madman,started running after the stranger.
As he ran, he passed one of his friends, who asked him where he wasgoing.
"To catch a thief!" shouted Jim. "No matter how fast he may run, I'll catchhim. I'll bet you fivedollars!"
在加利福尼亞的卡拉維拉斯縣，有個(gè)人名叫吉姆?斯邁里。他好打賭，見什么賭什么。要是有人跟他說“早上好”，他會(huì)說，這天早上不怎么樣，不信就打個(gè)賭。只要有賽馬和斗雞，他都要去賭。在哪一邊下注他不在乎，有機(jī)會(huì)賭就行。
有一天，吉姆見到一個(gè)來到卡拉維拉斯縣的陌生人，就把自己的一只青蛙給他看，說這是卡拉維拉斯全縣跳得最快最遠(yuǎn)的青蛙，不信就打個(gè)賭，賭40塊錢。陌生人說他看不出那只蛙有什么非凡之處，如果他手頭有一只蛙，就賭一賭。聽了這話，吉姆就把自己的青蛙交給陌生人看管，出去為陌生人找一只蛙來。他不在的時(shí)候，陌生人掏出一口袋鉛彈，掰開青蛙嘴，把鉛彈灌了進(jìn)去。
不久吉姆就給陌生人帶了一只青蛙回來。兩只青蛙在地上擺好，然后各人將各自的青蛙輕輕一推。陌生人的青蛙一下子就跳起來，跳得好快好遠(yuǎn)。但吉姆的蛙卻呆在那里紋絲不動(dòng)，像釘在地上似的。吉姆無奈，只得交出40塊錢。陌生人拿了錢就走了。吉姆把自己的蛙拿起來，覺得沉甸甸的。他把蛙倒提起來一抖，鉛彈掉了出來。他知道自己上了當(dāng)，就像瘋子似的去追陌生人。
正跑著，一個(gè)朋友瞧見他，不問他風(fēng)風(fēng)火火地去干什么。
“去抓賊!”他吼道，“無論他跑得有多快，我都要追上他。不信打5塊錢的賭!”

What Is Real Beauty?
It is human nature that all of us should be fond of beauty. Everybody was born with a heart for beauty.
Today in China,with the rising of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly. Some people spare no money or energy on beautiful clothes, fashionable hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks. But it seems to me,all these are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.
In my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance and neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty. As we all know,so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only beautiful appearance to be mentioned, but to us humanbeings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important. This was confirmed by a famous Russian writer in words much like this: “A person is not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely. ”
Here, I'd like to quote two typical instances and I'm sure, my dear friends,from them you'll find out what real beauty is.
Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer. She is very charming with a sweet beautiful voice and very famous for singing the song.“Devotion of Love”。 Not long ago,she was invited to Zhejiang Province to give performance. The moment she was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward. Worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once. Instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece. Thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour. So when she at last showed up and started to sing “Devotion of Love”，a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,“You don't have any devotion of love. You are not qualified to sing this song ! ”Hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the man. At this time the whole audience burst into an uproar.
How disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this! It is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions:
1、do you know what is youth?
2、how do you master your youth?
youth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
thank you!

Good morning, my honorable judges:
I feel so happy to have the chance to make a speech. The title of my speech is “Protect the Environment”. I hope you will like it.
Everybody knows waste paper and used coke cans are discarded everywhere. You might have seen plastic bags flying in the sky and getting caught in the trees when the wind blows or maybe you have seen old cans floating in the rivers. Our environment is the place which we live, but it is being ruined by us. There is a story about a house and trees. It is said that a man’s house was surrounded by a lot of trees. Though the wind was strong, that man could have a good rest under the trees. How comfortable the life was! One day, that man wanted to enlarge his house, so he cut down all the trees. Then the autumn came without the protection. The strong wind blew the roof of the house into the sky. The whole house was gone with the wind. What a pity! But that’s the price people have to pay for destroying in the ecology balance.
People shouldn’t be short-sighted. Protecting the environment is everyone’s task. As you know, there are four kinds of pollution. They are air pollution, water pollution, waste pollution and noise pollution. But what can we do to solve the pollution? I think, first, we can make cars that don’t pollute the environment. Second, we can try to use less water and make sure that we do not pollute the water. Third, we should not throw rubbish in the parks. We can pick up rubbish if we see it. Fourth, we can live far from the noise.
The air, water and the whole atmosphere directly influenced our lives, such as the air, people may cough and it will lead to cancer. So we must try our best to keep the world clean and tidy. You might ask yourself, “Have I ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin? Have I ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling?” If your answers are “Yes”, it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.
In order to make the environment clean, let’s join our hands together to make the world better.
Thank you!

good afternoon!
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.

Knowing the Consequences of Choice
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.
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.
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.
Given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.
As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
Nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.
Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.
To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, I would like to say, To choose means to take responsibility. When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "It's just my own business. " As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.
The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. Rather, it is the whole of the human family. As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word "China" for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province. I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty. All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.
選擇的重要性
去年春節(jié)期間，我陷入過一場(chǎng)家庭紛爭(zhēng)。在我回家之前，我們家的電視除了已有的14個(gè)頻道外又增加了四個(gè)衛(wèi)星頻道。晚上的黃金時(shí)間，每個(gè)頻道的節(jié)目都很精彩.結(jié)果，我們一家五口(父母，兩個(gè)姐姐和我)為了選臺(tái)而爭(zhēng)執(zhí)起來。最后，我們決定應(yīng)當(dāng)看“最有意思”的節(jié)目——如果我們?cè)谑裁词?ldquo;最有意思”上可以認(rèn)同的話。
不過我們?nèi)记宄赜浀�，買了電視后的好長一段時(shí)間里，只有一兩個(gè)頻道可供選擇。電視頻道的增多反映出我們生活中的一個(gè)重大變化:選擇余地的擴(kuò)大。
20xx年前，我們身著同樣的款式，單一的色調(diào)。而如今，紛繁的花色和眾多的式樣讓我們挑得眼花繚亂。
20xx年前，我們幾乎無報(bào)可讀。而如今，除了大大小小的中文報(bào)紙，我們還讀上了《中國日?qǐng)?bào)》、《21世紀(jì)報(bào)》這樣的英文報(bào)紙。
20xx年前，英語專業(yè)的學(xué)生只能選語言與文學(xué)課程。而如今，我們還學(xué)習(xí)西方文化，新聞，商務(wù)，國際關(guān)系，甚至還有計(jì)算機(jī)課程。
選擇的涌現(xiàn)標(biāo)志著中國進(jìn)入了一個(gè)嶄新的時(shí)代，一個(gè)充滿多樣化的時(shí)代，一個(gè)物質(zhì)與精神都愈加豐富的時(shí)代，一個(gè)中華民族獲得新生的時(shí)代。
我們?yōu)檫x擇之多而歡呼雀躍，同時(shí)也深深地感到這一切來之不易。
一個(gè)半世紀(jì)之前，在西方大炮、戰(zhàn)艦的威通下，中國被迫打開了國門。經(jīng)過祖祖輩輩的抗?fàn)幣c犧牲，我們才最終贏得了當(dāng)家作主的機(jī)會(huì)。改革開放這個(gè)正確的抉擇使一切發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化。
我和其他同齡人一樣，太年輕了、沒有經(jīng)歷過中國人喪失選擇權(quán)的歲月。但是，隨著下個(gè)世紀(jì)的腳步越走越近，我們是該們心自間了:選擇，對(duì)于我們青年一代，到底意味著什么?
選擇，是場(chǎng)靠僥幸來獲勝的游戲嗎?是句不用兌現(xiàn)的空話嗎?抑或是種讓人知難而退的困境?
首先，我認(rèn)為，選擇意味著抓住機(jī)遇。
我是英語專業(yè)三年級(jí)學(xué)生，我所面臨的一個(gè)重大選擇當(dāng)然是畢業(yè)后的去向。我可以攻讀碩士學(xué)位，或在國內(nèi)，或在國外。我可以走上工作崗位，做名教師，翻譯，記者，編輯或外交家.實(shí)際上，雙向選擇的體制在我面前鋪開了通向各行各業(yè)的大道。
說真的，這個(gè)選擇并不好做。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(dá)卻使我倍感親切的故鄉(xiāng)。我希望可以留在生活節(jié)奏快，令人興奮的沿海地帶，我也愿意扎根于廣炭的中西部地區(qū)，那里雖然條件艱苦，卻有極大的發(fā)展?jié)摿Α?/p>
所有這一切聽上去令人振奮，但它們畢竟只是可能性。有些人面對(duì)五花八門的選擇挑得眼花繚亂，我要告訴他們:選擇就意味著接受挑戰(zhàn)。
對(duì)于我們青年一代，挑戰(zhàn)常以竟?fàn)幍男问匠霈F(xiàn)。到下個(gè)世紀(jì)，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者將不僅只是其他大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，更有各行各業(yè)不同年齡層的人們。
隨著國際交流的不斷增多，我們得面對(duì)來自整個(gè)外部世界日益激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，這就對(duì)我們個(gè)/、的發(fā)展提出了更高的要求。
20xx年前，懂門外語或會(huì)用計(jì)算機(jī)是個(gè)優(yōu)越條件。但今天，隨著受教育面的拓寬，以上的知識(shí)也成了每個(gè)人必備的條件。
在這種形勢(shì)下，即便最細(xì)小的選擇也要求我們具有極大的智慧和自主精神。
當(dāng)我們面對(duì)選擇不斷增強(qiáng)自己的主動(dòng)性時(shí)，每一次選擇的結(jié)果也同樣變得愈加重要。
比方說，核能可以提高人民的生活水平，可它同樣也能毀滅千百萬人的生命財(cái)產(chǎn)。
經(jīng)濟(jì)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(yán)重危害。有些人對(duì)選擇的后果毫不在乎，我要對(duì)他們說:選擇還意味著承擔(dān)責(zé)任。我們替自己做選擇時(shí)，不能隨口一句“這不關(guān)別人的事”。作為下個(gè)世紀(jì)的決策者，我們必須承擔(dān)對(duì)和我們共同擁有這個(gè)地球的人們所負(fù)的責(zé)任。 傳統(tǒng)的中華文化教育我們，要勃奮學(xué)習(xí)，努力工作，以榮耀家門。然而我認(rèn)為，這個(gè)家門并不只指諸如我的那個(gè)爭(zhēng)看電視的五口小家。更確切地說，它指的是整個(gè)人類這個(gè)大家庭。當(dāng)我為自己的未來做出選擇時(shí)，我不會(huì)忘記自己第一次正確讀出“China"這個(gè)單詞時(shí)老師臉上的笑容。我也不會(huì)忘記在我們的幫助下重返校園的江西山區(qū)的孩子們興奮的臉龐。我更不會(huì)忘記飽受戰(zhàn)火、饑荒、貧困蹂蹦的波斯尼亞、車臣、索馬里，不會(huì)忘記那里成千上萬的婦女兒童淚水模糊的雙眼。
所有這些我認(rèn)識(shí)或不認(rèn)識(shí)的人們組成了人類這個(gè)大家庭。他們從不同的時(shí)空中走進(jìn)了我的生活，開拓了我的視野�，F(xiàn)在，我將為自己做出抉擇，該是為使他們的生活變得美好而奮斗的時(shí)候了。因?yàn)橹挥挟?dāng)每個(gè)人都過上和平、富足的生活，世界才能成為大家的樂園.
英語演講比賽3分鐘演講稿 篇8
We often hear people say, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A personwho believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how manytimes he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is animportant one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieveanything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at somethingnew, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if wealways give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and growas people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from ourmistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson wehave learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work toreach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeedin other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin todoubt our abilities.
In short, it is important that wedo not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end ornot, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better,more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have non chance ofattaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that wewill succeed one day.
Thank you !

My Views on Receiving Education
In my early years, I did not see the value of education.
When I was going on thirteen, I started to run my own shop. From then on, I worked hard to become a successful businessman.
One day I realized the importance of the English language in the business world and started taking night classes.
I was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of English study. But I started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of English was not enough to make my business successful. I knew that only a well- rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.
When I was eighteen, I had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school. There was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education. I had only completed elementary school up to that point. I then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects. Being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than I. I concluded that my age did not matter. The important thing was getting into college.
I took the College Entrance Exams. Although my math exam result was only one point below the required score. I never gave up hope. The following year, I took it again and received the highest score in my city. Achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the next step.
I am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn. My passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as I continue to live.
“Live and Learn.” is the motto I have adopted. I believe with an education I will succeed. So, if you are wondering whether education is important, don’t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the opportunity.
我對(duì)教育的看法
在我小的時(shí)候，我不覺得教育有什么價(jià)值。在13歲的時(shí)候，我開始經(jīng)營我自己的商店。從那時(shí)開始，我為成為一個(gè)成功的商人而努力工作。
一天，我意識(shí)到了英語對(duì)做生意的重要性并且開始上夜校。
在經(jīng)過兩年的英語學(xué)習(xí)之后，我已經(jīng)能夠很流利的和外國顧客交流。但我逐漸意識(shí)到，從長遠(yuǎn)來看，我現(xiàn)在僅有的英語知識(shí)無法使我的生意蓬勃發(fā)展。我知道只有淵博的知識(shí)是我未來成功的保證。
18歲的時(shí)候，我必須在繼續(xù)從商和重新回學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)之間做出選擇。當(dāng)時(shí)我僅有的小學(xué)學(xué)歷成為我接受高等教育的一大障礙。經(jīng)過4個(gè)月各門功課的惡補(bǔ)，我又回到了高中。多年后再次回到學(xué)校，讓我有些尷尬。因?yàn)槲业耐嗤瑢W(xué)至少比我小2至3歲。然而在我看來，年齡不是問題，重要的是能上大學(xué)。
我參加了高考。雖然我的數(shù)學(xué)只比分?jǐn)?shù)線低了一分。但我沒有放棄。第二年，我又參加了高考并取得了當(dāng)?shù)氐牡谝幻５玫竭@樣一個(gè)令人欣喜的結(jié)果，給了我進(jìn)一步深造的動(dòng)力和膽量。

“活到老，學(xué)到老”是我的座右銘。我堅(jiān)信只有學(xué)習(xí)才會(huì)使我成功。因此，如果你對(duì)接受教育的重要性有所懷疑，不要猶豫，勇敢的邁出第一步，這樣幸運(yùn)之神便會(huì)光顧你。

Failure is so common in our life. No one can avoid it. When we fail in doing something, we often feel so depressed that we have no interest in other things. Sometimes failure can also make us lose heart. Therefore, no one wants to be a failure.
Success is what we all hope for, because it can bring us a sense of pride and a good reputation. The moment we succeed, we always feel so proud, as if having everything in our hands. If one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will be famous and worshiped by others.
However, failure is the mother of success. One failure doesn’t mean you can never be successful. It depends on what we do to deal with failure. Those who are always afraid of failure and can’t go through it will never win. But as long as we can get some lessons and experience from our failure, we’ll be sure to succeed.

Money and Honor
the duality of money has been puzzling people since its first appearante. on the one hand, clean money can sweeten your life, help you succeed and be your lifelong faithful companion. on the other hand, dirty money may posion your mind, ruin your happiness and discard you suddenly as a false friend.
the market economy tells us that everyone should earn a living by selling something. professors sell their knowledge, workers sell their labor, farmers sell their produce. money now appears more powerful than anything else and drives people crazy. the temptation of money often challenges one's honor. we are not ashamed to make more money to have a better life by our sweat. however,there is a widespread concern that millionaires become the heroes no matter whether they make any contribution to our society. some people try desperately to make big money, which, more often than not, end up with degradation, corruption and crime.
though money is indispensable to our life, dirty money may drag us into hell. there are many things no money can buy. we will keep our honor intact at any cost because it is our soul. love of money is the root of all evil. for myself, i would rather die than dishonor myself for money.
