After being cheated of the meat by the fox, the crow stood on the branchand scolded for three days and three nights.
Since then, crows are very wary of foxes, afraid of being cheatedagain.
One day, the crow found a piece of meat. It took the meat in its mouth andstopped on the branch to rest.
He was very alert. He looked left and right for fear that the meat would becheated by the sly fox again.
At this time, the fox is humming a little song in the walk, smelling thesmell of meat, followed the fragrance.
After a while, he came to the tree where the crow stopped.
When the fox saw that it was a crow, he was very happy. He thought tohimself: This crow is very stupid. Last time he said that his singing was good,he cheated the meat away.
It looks like another piece of meat is coming this time.
Seeing that it was a fox, the crow immediately hung the meat on the branchand asked warily, "brother fox, I havent seen you for a long time. What are youdoing this time?"
The fox said calmly, "its nothing more than to admit the mistake with thebrother crow."
The crow said angrily, "brother fox, dont be hurt!"
The fox pretended to be a little sad and said, "brother crow, last time Imsorry for you. I lied to you because I was wrong. I deserve to die! This time,you can do whatever you want to do to me!"
The crow said, "then you will return the meat you cheated me lasttime."
When the fox heard this, he was very angry and forced to bear the anger inhis heart and said: "brother crow, I have eaten the meat last time.
I know a place where there is a lot of meat. Its not a long way. I have nostrength. You give me your piece of meat to eat. When I have strength, I willtake two back to you. "
The crow listened happily and said, "well, Ill give you the meat." Then hetook the meat off the branch and gave it to the fox.

Courage is very important. Everyone needs it. We will meet manydifficulties in our life and sometimes we will fail, but we can’t lose courage.If we lose courage, we can’t do anything, because we don’t dare to do anything;we are afraid of failure. This is my Chinese teacher me in the first class. Iagree with him. For example, we don’t have the courage to hands up to say ouranswer, how can we know we are right or wrong. I will remember his wordforever,” never lose courage .”

Honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful Saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the English language.
About a year and a half ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest. When I stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, I could hardly speak. I stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. My fears had paralyzed me.
While my passion for English has never changed, I lost my courage to speak in public. When my professor again encouraged me to take part in this Competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. He looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. I will never forget his words. “Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours. You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. A winner is not one who never fails,but one who never quits.”
I spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. Then I made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: I would face my fears – and take part in the competition!
As it turned out, my dear old professor was right. Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone. My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!

Attention,please:
okay, same thing is true in our workplaces. now, most of us work in open plan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers. and when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks -- which is something we might all favor nowadays.
now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts. i'll give you some examples. eleanor roosevelt, rosa parks, gandhi -- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. and they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to. and this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.
烏鴉和狐貍英語演講稿小學(xué) 篇12
When I was 27 years old, I left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job that was even more demanding: teaching. I went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades.
What struck me was that I.Q. was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. Some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric I.Q. scores. Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well.
And that got me thinking. The kinds of things you need to learn in seventh grade math, sure, they're hard: ratios, decimals, the area of a parallelogram. But these concepts are not impossible, and I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough.
After several more years of teaching, I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a psychological perspective. In education, the one thing we know how to measure best is I.Q., but what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily?
So I left the classroom, and I went to graduate school to become a psychologist. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict which cadets would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Bee and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in competition. We studied rookie teachers working in really tough neighborhoods, asking which teachers are still going to be here in teaching by the end of the school year, and of those, who will be the most effective at improving learning outcomes for their students? We partnered with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs? And who's going to earn the most money? In all those very different contexts, one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. And it wasn't social intelligence. It wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't I.Q. It was grit.
Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.
A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools. I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires, and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate. Turns out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate, even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure, things like family income, standardized achievement test scores, even how safe kids felt when they were at school. So it's not just at West Point or the National Spelling Bee that grit matters. It's also in school, especially for kids at risk for dropping out. To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows, about building it. Every day, parents and teachers ask me, "How do I build grit in kids? What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic? How do I keep them motivated for the long run?" The honest answer is, I don't know. (Laughter) What I do know is that talent doesn't make you gritty. Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitments. In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated or even inversely related to measures of talent.
So far, the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called "growth mindset." This is an idea developed at Stanford University by Carol Dweck, and it is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort. Dr. Dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to challenge, they're much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.
So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. And that's where I'm going to end my remarks, because that's where we are. That's the work that stands before us. We need to take our best ideas, our strongest intuitions, and we need to test them. We need to measure whether we've been successful, and we have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.
In other words, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.
Thank you.
(Applause)

Our path in life will not always be smooth. Setbacks can't be avoided. Failing an important exam, break up with boy or girl friend, or refused by a promising company, such setbacks are likely to get us down. Sometimes we fell so frustrated that we even burst into tears.
Drinkin coke is wonderful, despite the undesirble consequent hiccups. It's bitter, sour and peppery, but also sweet. And you'll even feel excited after gulping down a glass. A college experience is part of growing up. We cry, smile, fall in love, get hurt, leave, learn and then we become a better person.
University life is like drinking coke. I'm experiencing it. And I know, I enjoy it!

Is it good for students to do some housework.
Some people think studengts need not do any housework. They think the only thing students need do is to study well. I dont think so. It is good for students to do some housework for three reason.
Firstly,to do some housework can make you independent. You cant depend on others all your life. So,you should learn to do some housework now.
Secondly, to do some housework can keep you healthy and strong ,some hard housework can be regarded as a kind of physical exercise.
Finally, to do some housework can share your parents work. They must be happy if you say” Have a rest, and I will do the housework”
So I think it is good for students to do some housework.

When Dorothy was a little girl, she wasfascinated by her goldfish. Her father explained to her that fish swim byquickly wagging their tails to propel themselves through the water. Withouthesitation, little Dorothy responded, "Yes, Daddy, and fish swim backwardsby wagging their heads."
當(dāng)多蘿西還是一個小女孩的時候,她被她的金魚迷住了。她的父親向她解釋,魚是通過快速搖尾推動自己在水中前進(jìn)。毫無猶豫地,小多蘿西回答道,“是的,爸爸,而且魚會通過搖頭來后退!
In her mind, it was a fact as true as anyother. Fish swim backwards by wagging their heads. She believed it.
在她的心里,這是一個確切的事實(shí)。魚通過搖頭來后退。她堅(jiān)信如此。
Our lives are full of fish swimmingbackwards. We make assumptions and faulty leaps of logic. We harbor bias. Weknow that we are right, and they are wrong. We fear the worst. We strive forunattainable perfection. We tell ourselves what we can and cannot do. In ourminds, fish swim by in reverse frantically wagging their heads and we don'teven notice them.
我們的生活中充滿著倒游的魚。我們制造假設(shè)和錯誤跳躍的邏輯。我們心懷偏見。我們知道我們是對的,而他們是錯的。我們害怕最糟糕的。我們力求無法獲得的完美。我們告訴自己什么是我們能做的和不能做的。在我們心里,魚是通過往相反方向瘋狂搖頭來游泳的,而我們甚至不曾察覺過它們。
I'm going to tell you five facts aboutmyself. One fact is not true. One: I graduated from Harvard at 19 with anhonors degree in mathematics. Two: I currently run a construction company inOrlando. Three: I starred on a television sitcom. Four: I lost my sight to arare genetic eye disease. Five: I served as a law clerk to two US Supreme Courtjustices. Which fact is not true? Actually, they're all true. Yeah. They're alltrue.
我想告訴你們五件關(guān)于我的事實(shí)。其中有一件不是真的。第一:我19歲的時候以數(shù)學(xué)榮譽(yù)學(xué)士學(xué)位畢業(yè)于哈佛大學(xué)。第二:我現(xiàn)在在奧蘭多經(jīng)營著一家建筑公司。第三:我主演過一部電視情景劇。第四:我因?yàn)榛忌弦环N罕有的遺傳性眼疾而失去了視力。第五:我曾經(jīng)給兩位美國最高法院的法官當(dāng)過法律助手。哪一個不是真的呢?事實(shí)上,它們都是真的。是的,它們都是真的。
At this point, most people really only careabout the television show.
這時候,大部分人其實(shí)都只關(guān)心那部電視劇。
I know this from experience. OK, so theshow was NBC's "Saved by the Bell: The New Class." And I playedWeasel Wyzell, who was the sort of dorky, nerdy character on the show, whichmade it a very major acting challenge for me as a 13-year-old boy.
這是經(jīng)驗(yàn)告訴我的。好吧,那部電視劇是NBC的“SavedbytheBell:TheNewClass."而我飾演了WeaselWyzell,一個在劇中帶點(diǎn)笨拙書呆子性格的角色,對于13歲的我來說,這是一個很重大的演出挑戰(zhàn)。
Now, did you struggle with number four, myblindness? Why is that? We make assumptions about so-called disabilities. As ablind man, I confront others' incorrect assumptions about my abilities everyday. My point today is not about my blindness, however. It's about my vision.Going blind taught me to live my life eyes wide open. It taught me to spotthose backwards-swimming fish that our minds create. Going blind cast them intofocus.
現(xiàn)在,你是否糾結(jié)于第四個事實(shí),我的失明?為什么會這樣呢?我們對所謂的殘疾做出一些假設(shè)。作為盲人,我每天都面對別人對我能力的錯誤假設(shè)。然而,我今天的重點(diǎn)不在于我的失明。而是在于我的視野。失明教會我用開闊的眼界去生活。它教會我去發(fā)現(xiàn)那些倒游的魚,我們內(nèi)心創(chuàng)造出來的魚。失明使它們變成了焦點(diǎn)。
What does it feel like to see? It'simmediate and passive. You open your eyes and there's the world. Seeing isbelieving. Sight is truth. Right? Well, that's what I thought.
看得見是怎么樣的一種感覺?是即時并且被動的。你睜開雙眼,世界就在你眼前?匆娛裁聪嘈攀裁础Q垡姙閷(shí)。對吧?好吧,我當(dāng)初是這么想的。
Then, from age 12 to 25, my retinasprogressively deteriorated. My sight became an increasingly bizarre carnivalfunhouse hall of mirrors and illusions. The salesperson I was relieved to spotin a store was really a mannequin. Reaching down to wash my hands, I suddenlysaw it was a urinal I was touching, not a sink, when my fingers felt its trueshape.
接著,從12歲到15歲,我的視網(wǎng)膜逐漸衰弱。我的視像變成了愈加奇異的嘉年華游樂場里的哈哈鏡。我在商店里好不容易發(fā)現(xiàn)的銷售員實(shí)際上是一個人體模型。俯下身去洗手,當(dāng)我的手指感受到它的真實(shí)形狀,我意識到我去觸摸的是小便池,而不是洗手池。
A friend described the photograph in my hand, and only then I could seethe image depicted. Objects appeared, morphed and disappeared in my reality. Itwas difficult and exhausting to see. I pieced together fragmented, transitoryimages, consciously analyzed the clues, searched for some logic in my crumblingkaleidoscope, until I saw nothing at all.
一位朋友向我描述我手中的照片,只有在那時候我才能明白圖像描畫了些什么。物體在我的現(xiàn)實(shí)中出現(xiàn)、變形和消失。看見成為了一件困難的使我筋疲力盡的事情。我把支離破碎的、片刻的圖像拼接起來,憑感覺分析線索,在我破碎的萬花筒中尋找符合邏輯的對應(yīng),直到我什么都看不見。
I learned that what we see is not universaltruth. It is not objective reality. What we see is a unique, personal, virtualreality that is masterfully constructed by our brain.
我認(rèn)識到我們所看到的并不即是普遍真理。并不是客觀現(xiàn)實(shí)。我們所看到的是獨(dú)一無二的虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí),它是由我們的大腦巧妙地構(gòu)造出來的。
Let me explain with a bit of amateurneuroscience. Your visual cortex takes up about 30 percent of your brain.That's compared to approximately eight percent for touch and two to threepercent for hearing. Every second, your eyes can send your visual cortex as manyas two billion pieces of information. The rest of your body can send your brainonly an additional billion. So sight is one third of your brain by volume andcan claim about two thirds of your brain's processing resources. It's nosurprise then that the illusion of sight is so compelling. But make no mistakeabout it: sight is an illusion.
請讓我以外行的身份解釋一遍神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)學(xué)。你的視覺皮層占據(jù)了你腦部的大概30%。相比于觸覺的8%以及聽覺的2-3%。每一秒鐘,你的雙眼能夠向你的視覺皮層傳達(dá)多達(dá)二十億的信息片段。其余的身體部分加起來也僅能夠傳達(dá)另外的十億。所以視覺占據(jù)了你腦部容量的三分之一并且占用了你腦部中三分之二的信息處理資源。因此意想得到的是視覺幻象是多么的令人信服。但是別誤會了:我們所看到的只是一種幻象。
Here's where it gets interesting. To createthe experience of sight, your brain references your conceptual understanding ofthe world, other knowledge, your memories, opinions, emotions, mentalattention. All of these things and far more are linked in your brain to yoursight. These linkages work both ways, and usually occur subconsciously. So for example, what you see impacts how you feel, and the way you feel can literally change what you see.
這是事情變得有趣的地方。為了制造視覺經(jīng)驗(yàn),你的大腦參考了你對這個世界的概念性理解,其它知識、你的記憶、看法、情緒和心理關(guān)注。所有的這些東西和以及其它的都連結(jié)于你的大腦和視覺景象之間。這些連結(jié)是雙向作用的,并且常常在潛意識中發(fā)生。舉例子來說,你所看到的會影響到你的感覺,而你的感覺又能夠直接改變你所看到的。
Numerous studies demonstrate this. If you are asked toestimate the walking speed of a man in a video, for example, your answer willbe different if you're told to think about cheetahs or turtles. A hill appearssteeper if you've just exercised, and a landmark appears farther away if you'rewearing a heavy backpack. We have arrived at a fundamental contradiction.
許多的研究證明了這一點(diǎn)。如果你被要求去估計(jì)視頻中人物的行走速度,舉例來說,在被告知去想著獵豹或者烏龜?shù)那闆r下,你的答案將會不一樣。如果你剛剛運(yùn)動完,你會感覺山變陡峭了,如果你背著一個很重的背包,眼前的目的地看起來距離更遠(yuǎn)。我們在這里遇到了一種基本的矛盾。
What you see is a complex mental construction of your own making, but you experienceit passively as a direct representation of the world around you. You createyour own reality, and you believe it. I believed mine until it broke apart. Thedeterioration of my eyes shattered the illusion.
你肉眼所看到的東西是你自己創(chuàng)造的一種復(fù)雜的心智建造,但是你被動地經(jīng)歷著它讓它作為你周遭世界的一種直接呈現(xiàn)。你創(chuàng)造了屬于你自己的現(xiàn)實(shí)并且深信著它。我深信于我的現(xiàn)實(shí)直到它瓦解了。我雙眼的衰退粉碎了這種幻象。
You see, sight is just one way we shape ourreality. We create our own realities in many other ways. Let's take fear asjust one example. Your fears distort your reality. Under the warped logic offear, anything is better than the uncertain. Fear fills the void at all costs,passing off what you dread for what you know, offering up the worst in place ofthe ambiguous, substituting assumption for reason. Psychologists have a greatterm for it: awfulizing.
你看,視覺只是我們認(rèn)識世界的一種途徑。我們可以通過許多其它的方式去創(chuàng)造屬于我們自己的現(xiàn)實(shí)。讓我們來舉恐懼作為一個例子。你的恐懼扭曲了你的現(xiàn)實(shí)。在扭曲的恐懼邏輯影響下,任何事情都比未知要好?謶植幌б磺写鷥r填補(bǔ)空白,把你所懼怕的冒充成你所知道的,讓最糟糕取代了不明確,使假設(shè)代替了原因。心理學(xué)家對此有一個很好的術(shù)語:往壞處想。
Right? Fear replaces the unknown with theawful. Now, fear is self-realizing. When you face the greatest need to lookoutside yourself and think critically, fear beats a retreat deep inside yourmind, shrinking and distorting your view, drowning your capacity for criticalthought with a flood of disruptive emotions. When you face a compellingopportunity to take action, fear lulls you into inaction, enticing you topassively watch its prophecies fulfill themselves.
對吧?恐懼把未知的替換成了可怕的,F(xiàn)在,恐懼在自我實(shí)現(xiàn)著。當(dāng)你非常迫切的需要去客觀看待自己并進(jìn)行批判性思考的時候,恐懼在你的內(nèi)心深處打起了退堂鼓,收縮并扭曲你的觀點(diǎn),以洪水般涌現(xiàn)的破壞性情緒淹沒你批判思考的能力。當(dāng)你面對一個極具吸引力的機(jī)會去采取行動時,恐懼誤導(dǎo)你去無所作為,誘使你被動地看著它的預(yù)言一個個實(shí)現(xiàn)成真。
When I was diagnosed with my blindingdisease, I knew blindness would ruin my life. Blindness was a death sentencefor my independence. It was the end of achievement for me. Blindness meant Iwould live an unremarkable life, small and sad, and likely alone. I knew it.This was a fiction born of my fears, but I believed it. It was a lie, but itwas my reality, just like those backwards-swimming fish in little Dorothy'smind. If I had not confronted the reality of my fear, I would have lived it. Iam certain of that.
當(dāng)我被診出患有致盲眼疾時,我料到失明將會毀了我的生活。失明對我的獨(dú)立能力判了死刑。它是我一生成就的終點(diǎn)。失明意味著我將度過平凡的一生,渺小且凄慘,極有可能孤獨(dú)終老。我就知道會這樣。這是我因?yàn)榭謶謳淼暮巵y造,但我相信了。它是一個謊言,但它曾是我的現(xiàn)實(shí)。就像小多蘿西內(nèi)心那些倒游的魚一樣。如若我不曾面對過我內(nèi)心恐懼創(chuàng)造出來的現(xiàn)實(shí),我會就那樣活著。我很確定。
So how do you live your life eyes wideopen? It is a learned discipline. It can be taught. It can be practiced. I willsummarize very briefly.
所以你們?nèi)绾稳ヒ蚤_闊的眼界生活呢?這是一個需要學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)科。它能被傳授。它能被練習(xí)。我簡單地總結(jié)一下。
Hold yourself accountable for every moment,every thought, every detail. See beyond your fears. Recognize your assumptions.Harness your internal strength. Silence your internal critic. Correct yourmisconceptions about luck and about success. Accept your strengths and yourweaknesses, and understand the difference. Open your hearts to your bountifulblessings.
讓自己學(xué)會負(fù)責(zé),對每一時刻,每個想法,每個細(xì)節(jié)。超越你內(nèi)心的恐懼。識別出你所作的假設(shè)。展現(xiàn)你內(nèi)在的能力。消除你內(nèi)心的批判。修正你對于運(yùn)氣和成功的錯誤概念。接受自己的長處和短處,并清楚認(rèn)識它們之間的區(qū)別。打開你的心扉去迎接對你滿滿的祝福。
Your fears, your critics, your heroes, yourvillains -- they are your excuses, rationalizations, shortcuts, justifications,your surrender. They are fictions you perceive as reality. Choose to seethrough them. Choose to let them go. You are the creator of your reality. Withthat empowerment comes complete responsibility.
你的恐懼,你的批判,你的英雄,你的敵人——他們都是你的借口、合理化作用、捷徑、辯護(hù)、屈服。它們是你錯認(rèn)為現(xiàn)實(shí)的小說。嘗試選擇看穿它們。嘗試讓它們遠(yuǎn)離自己。你是自我現(xiàn)實(shí)的創(chuàng)造者。伴隨這種權(quán)利而來的是你需要負(fù)起全部的責(zé)任。
I chose to step out of fear's tunnel intoterrain uncharted and undefined. I chose to build there a blessed life. Farfrom alone, I share my beautiful life with Dorothy, my beautiful wife, with ourtriplets, whom we call the Tripskys, and with the latest addition to thefamily, sweet baby Clementine.
我選擇走出恐懼的隧道,步入了未知的領(lǐng)域。我選擇在那里構(gòu)建幸福的人生。遠(yuǎn)離孤單,我分享我的美好生活,與多蘿西,我美麗的妻子,與我們的三胞胎,我們稱之為“Tripskys”,還有新添的家庭成員,可愛的寶貝克萊蒙蒂。
What do you fear? What lies do you tellyourself? How do you embellish your truth and write your own fictions? Whatreality are you creating for yourself?
你在害怕什么?你在欺騙自己什么?你是如何修飾自己的真相,編寫自己的小說?你在為自己創(chuàng)造著怎么樣的現(xiàn)實(shí)?
In your career and personal life, in yourrelationships, and in your heart and soul, your backwards-swimming fish do yougreat harm. They exact a toll in missed opportunities and unrealized potential,and they engender insecurity and distrust where you seek fulfillment andconnection. I urge you to search them out.
在你的職業(yè)生涯和個人生活中,在你的人際關(guān)系中,在你的內(nèi)心和靈魂中,倒游的魚給你帶來巨大的傷害。它們使你為錯失的機(jī)會以及尚未實(shí)現(xiàn)的潛能付出代價。它們在你尋求滿足與聯(lián)系時引起你的不安以及不信任。我呼吁大家把它們找出來。
Helen Keller said that the only thing worsethan being blind is having sight but no vision. For me, going blind was aprofound blessing, because blindness gave me vision. I hope you can see what Isee.
海倫·凱勒曾說過,唯一比失明更糟糕的是擁有視力,卻沒有遠(yuǎn)見。失明對我來說是一種深深的祝福,因?yàn)槭鹘o予了我遠(yuǎn)見。我衷心希望你們也能看見我所看見的。
Thank you.(Applause)
謝謝。(掌聲)
Bruno Giussani: Isaac, before you leave thestage, just a question. This is an audience of entrepreneurs, of doers, ofinnovators. You are a CEO of a company down in Florida, and many are probablywondering, how is it to be a blind CEO? What kind of specific challenges do youhave, and how do you overcome them?
布魯諾·朱薩尼:艾薩克,在你離開之前,我想問一個問題。在座的各位都是創(chuàng)業(yè)者、實(shí)干家、創(chuàng)新者。你是佛羅里達(dá)一家公司的執(zhí)行總裁,很多人大概都會好奇,身為一名失明的執(zhí)行總裁究竟是怎么樣的呢?這使你面臨哪些具體的挑戰(zhàn),而你又是怎么克服它們的呢?
Isaac Lidsky: Well, the biggest challengebecame a blessing. I don't get visual feedback from people.
艾薩克·利德斯基:好吧,最大的挑戰(zhàn)成了一種祝福。我看不到別人的反應(yīng)。
BG: What's that noise there? IL: Yeah. So,for example, in my leadership team meetings, I don't see facial expressions orgestures. I've learned to solicit a lot more verbal feedback. I basically forcepeople to tell me what they think. And in this respect, it's become, like Isaid, a real blessing for me personally and for my company, because wecommunicate at a far deeper level, we avoid ambiguities, and most important, myteam knows that what they think truly matters.
布:有什么聲音在哪里嗎?艾:是的。比如說在我的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)團(tuán)隊(duì)的會議中,我無法看到別人的表情或者手勢。我學(xué)會去征求更多的言語反饋。我基本都要求人們把他們的想法告訴我。正因如此,它成為了,如我所說,對我個人還有我公司的一種真正的祝福。因?yàn)槲覀儷@得了更深層次的溝通。我們避免了歧義,還有更重要的,我的團(tuán)隊(duì)清楚知道他們的想法是真的要緊的。
BG: Isaac, thank you for coming to TED. IL:Thank you, Bruno.
布:艾薩克,感謝你來到了TED。艾:謝謝你,布魯諾。

Change the world? change ourselves
Good evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen.
It’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world, change ourselves.
It’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. not long before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.
Frankly speaking, i don’t quite agree with them.Indeed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. (examples).but why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture.
There are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in china. on the one hand, some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc. on the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in china. overwhelmed by such a trend,chinese unconsciously get involved in western holidays and culture.
With the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becom faster and more and more important. we are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the earth.the only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no. what we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us.
At last i’d like to share a famouse saying of gandhi with all of you ,that is:if you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.”
【參考譯文】
改變世界?改變自己
晚上好,尊敬的評委,女士們,先生們。
我很高興站在這里發(fā)表我的演講改變世界,改變我們自己。
引人注目的是,西方的節(jié)日日益變得越來越流行,而中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日被冷落。不久前在北京大學(xué)和清華大學(xué)約10名醫(yī)生宣布,我們應(yīng)該拒絕入侵的西方節(jié)日,因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為西方節(jié)日作為一種挑戰(zhàn)我們的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日和文化。
坦白地說,我不完全同意他們。事實(shí)上,我們不應(yīng)該忽視甚至拋棄我們的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日作為中國擁有輝煌的歷史和燦爛的傳統(tǒng)。但是為什么我們不能吸收有意義的西方節(jié)日和文化呢?。
有明顯的原因,一些西方節(jié)日在中國如此受歡迎。另一方面,一些西方的節(jié)日,我們中國人不合理和有意義的事情,比如父親節(jié),四月的愚人節(jié)等,另一方面,普遍的全球化使得西方文化在中國盛行。在這種潮流的沖擊下,中國人不知不覺地卷入了西方的節(jié)日和文化。
隨著世界的發(fā)展,文化交流不同國家和民族之間變得更加快捷和更重要。我們來自不同的國家,但我們是公民相同的世界,所以不同的民族優(yōu)秀文化是我們保護(hù)我們的傳統(tǒng)文化在地球每個人的共有財產(chǎn)的唯一途徑就是拒絕外國的文化嗎?答案當(dāng)然是否定的。我們應(yīng)該做的是不遺余力地教育中國人去認(rèn)識和珍惜我們燦爛的傳統(tǒng),而不是拒絕外國文化。只有通過教育,我們才能樹立我們對文化的信心和信念。只有通過教育才能保持和提升的財富,我們的祖先留給我們。
最后我想說的一個著名的分享甘地和你們,那就是:如果你想改變世界,那么你必須改變你自己!

I like to eat fruit because almost all fruits are tasty and good for your body.I like sweet fruits better than sour fruits.My favourite fruit is hami melon I think it is the sweetest fruit in the world.
I love hami melons.They're sweeter than candy and they smell really good.I hate lemons because no fruit in the world is sourer than it.Sometimes I like to eat some grapes,too.But be carefull,sometimes they can be as sweet as hami melons and sometimes they can be as sour as lemons.
My mammy and daddy like to eat sour fruits and my little brother likes to eat sweet fruits just like me.Fruit is the most delicious thing in the world.Fruit,I love you.

With the improvement of our living standard, more and more people canafford a car。 As a result, our roads are more often than not crammed with cars。However, with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars, the problemof air pollution bees even more serious。 So nowadays we advocate to lead alow-carbon life。
My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars。Byriding a bike, we can not only exercise our body but also protect ourenvironment。 Why not have a try, my dear friends?
與我們的生活水平的提高,越來越多的人都買得起汽車的。因此,道路往往沒有堆滿了汽車。然而,隨著越來越多的廢氣排放是汽車、空氣污染問題變得更加嚴(yán)重。所以此刻我們提倡過低碳的生活。
我的推薦是我們就應(yīng)更經(jīng)常騎自行車而不是開車騎一輛自行車,我們不僅僅能鍛煉身體,也能保護(hù)我們的環(huán)境。為什么不試試,我親愛的朋友?
烏鴉和狐貍英語演講稿小學(xué) 篇24
Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it. Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best.
We often hear people say, “Never give up.” This can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important 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 achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.
In short, it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Thank you very much!
如果你把你的心臟上沒有什么是困難的。沒有什么是容易的,如果你不嘗試你最好的。
我們經(jīng)常聽到人們說:“永遠(yuǎn)不要放棄。”這可以鼓勵決心的詞與詞。一個人誰相信他們將繼續(xù)努力,不管經(jīng)歷多少次失敗,達(dá)到到他的目標(biāo)。在我看來,有決心的質(zhì)量成功是有一個重要的之一。因此,我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該永不放棄。
原因之一是,如果我們太輕易放棄,就幾乎無法完成任何事。這是很平常的我們在我們的一些新的第一次嘗試失敗了,所以我們不應(yīng)感到氣餒,應(yīng)該再試一次。此外,如果我們總是放棄當(dāng)我們失敗,我們將無法發(fā)展新的技能和成長的人。另外一個原因,我們不應(yīng)該放棄的是,我們可以從我們的錯誤中吸取教訓(xùn),只有我們作出新的努力。如果我們不再試一次,我們吸取的教訓(xùn)是浪費(fèi)。最后,我們應(yīng)該永不放棄,因?yàn)楫?dāng)我們努力達(dá)到我們的目標(biāo),我們就會培養(yǎng)出自信,而這種自信將有助于我們在生活的其他領(lǐng)域中獲得成功。
大概持續(xù)性的最大的例子就是林肯。出生在貧困家庭,林肯面臨著他一生的失敗。他輸八大選,兩次經(jīng)商失敗,并遭受了神經(jīng)衰弱。
他可以放棄很多次 - 但他并沒有因?yàn)樗麤]有放棄,他成為我國歷史上最偉大的總統(tǒng)之一。
林肯是一個冠軍,他從來沒有放棄過。
總之,這是我們努力追求目標(biāo)時,不放棄是很重要的。無論我們最終還是沒有成功,我們都會學(xué)到一些東西,而我們學(xué)什么會幫助我們變得更好,更有自信的人。此外,如果我們放棄,我們沒有機(jī)會實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的目標(biāo),但如果我們繼續(xù)努力,總有一個機(jī)會,我們會有成功的.非常感謝!

Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the , as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster." (Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.

演說題目:Questioning the universe
演說者:Stephen Hawking
There is nothing bigger or older than the universe. The questions I would like to talk about are: one, where did we come from? How did the universe come into being? Are we alone in the universe? Is there alien life out there? What is the future of the human race?
沒什么比宇宙更廣大更久遠(yuǎn)的了。你們的問題中我想聊一下的是:你我何從?宇宙何來?宇宙中就只有我們?有外星異生物么?人類的未來將會如何?
Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time. Then it was discovered that the universe was expanding. Distant galaxies were moving away from us. This meant they must have been closer together in the past. If we extrapolate back, we find we must have all been on top of each other about 15 billion years ago. This was the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe.
上世紀(jì)20xx年代之前,所有人都以為宇宙基本上是處于穩(wěn)態(tài),流金歲月,持恒不變。之后我們發(fā)現(xiàn)原來宇宙正在膨脹中。遼遠(yuǎn)星系一直飛離我們,這意味著它們必定曾相靠近。我們?nèi)敉笸扑,就會發(fā)現(xiàn)我們必都曾於約150億年前,互相堆疊在一起。正是這 "霹靂大爆炸" ——宇宙之起始。
But was there anything before the Big Bang? If not, what created the universe? Why did the universe emerge from the Big Bang the way it did? We used to think that the theory of the universe could be divided into two parts. First, there were the laws like Maxwell's equations and general relativity that determined the evolution of the universe, given its state over all of space at one time. And second, there was no question of the initial state of the universe.
然而大爆炸前可有什么嗎?若是沒有,又是什么創(chuàng)造宇宙呢?宇宙緣何要從大霹靂中冒出呢?過往我們都認(rèn)為宇宙論可分成兩部分,首先,是定律。像“麥克斯韋方程組”'和 “廣義相對論”以其于同一刻設(shè)定整個時空之狀態(tài),而決定了宇宙之演化進(jìn)程。次之,是對宇宙雛形的疑問。
We have made good progress on the first part, and now have the knowledge of the laws of evolution in all but the most extreme conditions. But until recently, we have had little idea about the initial conditions for the universe. However, this division into laws of evolution and initial conditions depends on time and space being separate and distinct.
第一部分我們?nèi)〉昧己眠M(jìn)展,除了“至極端境況”'以外,F(xiàn)在已對演化規(guī)律于所有境況下之進(jìn)程有所掌握。可直至最近,我們?nèi)詫τ钪娉跎?dāng)時之周圍條件不甚了了。然而,這演化律及初始條件之界分,乃囿于"時 空分明"之概念內(nèi)。
Under extreme conditions, general relativity and quantum theoryallow time to behave like another dimension of space. This removes the distinction between time and space, and means the laws of evolution can also determine the initial state. The universe can spontaneously create itself out of nothing.
而於極端條件下,廣義相對論及量子論容許“時間”如同“空間”的另一維度般運(yùn)作。這就將“時.空”之間區(qū)別移除了,即是說演化律 亦可決定初始狀態(tài)。宇宙可以由無變有自我創(chuàng)生!
Moreover, we can calculate a probability that the universe was created in different states. These predictions are in excellent agreement with observations by the WMAP satellite of the cosmic microwave background, which is an imprint of the very early universe. We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence.
我們甚至可以計(jì)算出宇宙在不同情況下誕生的可能性。這些推論與WMAP衛(wèi)星所觀測到的宇宙微波背景輻射(即大爆炸之痕跡)相當(dāng)一致。我們相信已勘破了創(chuàng)造奧秘或許我們應(yīng)將“宇宙”給注冊,然后向每個生存于世的人收“生活費(fèi)”。
I now turn to the second big question: are we alone, or is there other life in the universe? We believe that life arose spontaneously on the Earth, so it must be possible for life to appear on other suitable planets, of which there seem to be a large number in the galaxy.
現(xiàn)在我轉(zhuǎn)到第二個大問題去,宇宙中就只有我們,還是另有其它生物?我們相信生命從地球自我衍生,故此生命確有可能出現(xiàn)於其它合適星球——星河中看來可有不少呢。
But we don't know how life first appeared. We have two pieces of observational evidence on the probability of life appearing. The first is that we have fossils of algae from 3.5 billion years ago. The Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago and was probably too hot for about the first half billion years. So life appeared on Earth within half a billion years of it being possible, which is short compared to the 10-billion-year lifetime of a planet of Earth type. This suggests that the probability of life appearing is reasonably high. If it was very low, one would have expected it to take most of the ten billion years available.
但我們?nèi)晕磾囃ㄉ侨绾紊桑簩渡Q生的可能契機(jī),我們有兩項(xiàng)觀測得來的佐證。首先我們有來自35億年前的海藻化石。地球于46億年前形成,頭約5億年相信仍太熱了。故此生命于其變得可能后的5億年間方出現(xiàn),這相對于像地球之類百億年期的星體,只算是一段短時間。這意味著生命出現(xiàn)的概率是頗高的。若是低的話,就可預(yù)期要花盡百億年的絕大部分才會出現(xiàn)。
On the other hand, we don't seem to have been visited by aliens. I am discounting the reports of UFOs.Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos? If there is a government conspiracy to suppress the reports and keep for itself the scientific knowledge the aliens bring, it seems to have been a singularly ineffective policy so far. Furthermore, despite an extensive search by the SETI project, we haven't heard any alien television quiz shows. This probably indicates that there are no alien civilizations at our stage of development within a radius of a few hundred light years. Issuing an insurance policy against abduction by aliens seems a pretty safe bet.
另一方面,我們似乎從未見有外星人到訪。我不信那些什么“不明物體的報導(dǎo)”。它們干嗎要單向那些古古怪怪的人現(xiàn)身呢?若真有一個甚麼政府陰謀要將報導(dǎo)打住,從而將外星人所帶來之科學(xué)識據(jù)為己有,那可真像個既離奇,亦從未見效的舉措。再說,即便SETI計(jì)劃已進(jìn)行廣泛探索,我們還沒有收聽到任何外太空電視答問節(jié)目。這可能昭示在我們現(xiàn)階段文明發(fā)展之方圓數(shù)百光年范圍之內(nèi),并沒有其它外星異文化。賣保險給那些怕被外星人綁架的人,看來是個不錯的選擇。
This brings me to the last of the big questions: the future of the human race. If we are the only intelligent beings in the galaxy, we should make sure we survive and continue. But we are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill. But our genetic code still carries the selfish and aggressive instincts that were of survival advantage in the past. It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand or million.
這送我到了最后一個大問題:人類的前途。若我們是星河里唯一智能生物,就必須確保自己能存活并延續(xù)下去。但我們正邁入歷史中一個愈發(fā)危險的時段。我們的人囗和對地球有限資源的耗用,正以幾何級數(shù)增長,相隨的是我們將環(huán)境或弄好或弄垮的技術(shù)才能,至于我們的基因指令則仍帶著那自私和好斗的本質(zhì),這或有利于我們過往求存,卻又讓我們于往后數(shù)百年內(nèi)人禍難逃。更別說未來千百萬年了。
Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain inward-looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space. The answers to these big questions show that we have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years, our future is in space.That is why I am in favor of manned — or should I say, personned — space flight.
我們長活下去的唯一機(jī)會,不是一直呆著在地球而是沖出太空去。這些大問題之解答顯示我們于過去數(shù)百年取得可觀進(jìn)展?扇粢轿磥頂(shù)百年,們的前途在于太空。正因此,我較傾向于 "人" 控——( man 于英語中可單指'人或“男人”) 或許我應(yīng)說,由人駕駛之太空旅航。
All of my life I have sought to understand the universe and find answers to these questions. I have been very lucky that my disability has not been a serious handicap. Indeed, it has probably given me more time than most people to pursue the quest for knowledge. The ultimate goal is a complete theory of the universe, and we are making good progress. Thank you for listening.
我一生都在探究想要了解宇宙并找出這些問題之答案。我一直都非常幸運(yùn),我的殘疾并沒造成嚴(yán)重障礙;說真的,這反倒讓我比大部分人獲得更多時間以從事知識之追求。終極目標(biāo)是一套完備的宇宙論,而我們已有良好進(jìn)展。感謝您們的聆聽。
Chris Anderson: Professor, if you had to guess either way, do you now believe that it is more likely than not that we are alone in the Milky Way, as a civilization of our level of intelligence or higher? This answer took seven minutes, and really gave me an insight into the incredible act of generosity this whole talk was for TED.
安德森:教授,若您必須二選其一作猜測,此刻您是較相信還是較不相信我們是天河中唯一現(xiàn)水平或更高水平之智能文化?準(zhǔn)備這答案已花了7分多鐘,真讓我深切體會到這整個演講為TED所付出之,讓人難以置信之慷慨。
Stephen Hawking: I think it quite likely that we are the only civilization within several hundred light years; otherwise we would have heard radio waves. The alternative is that civilizations don't last very long, but destroy themselves.
霍金:我想我們應(yīng)該是數(shù)百光年范圍內(nèi)之獨(dú)一文明;否則我們應(yīng)已收聽到電波。另一種可能是,該等文明都維持不久,就自我毀滅掉。
CA: Professor Hawking, thank you for that answer. We will take it as a salutary warning, I think, for the rest of our conference this week. Professor, we really thank you for the extraordinary effort you madeto share your questions with us today. Thank you very much indeed.
安德森: 霍金教授,謝謝您的解答。我想,我們會將之作為這一周余下會談之座右銘。教授,我們衷心感謝您今天為與我們分享您的問題所作出之卓越貢獻(xiàn)。真的非常感謝您。
(Applause)

烏鴉和狐貍英語演講稿小學(xué) 篇27
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.
正如我們所知道的,我們會感到寂寞,如果我們還沒有一個朋友。但這并不意味著我們可以依靠我們的朋友。有個著名的格言說:‚一個朋友就像一個棉花棉絲被子,但真正的東西,是使你暖和是你自己的溫度。‚這是真的。我們必須努力同我們的朋友,互相激勵,互相幫助。當(dāng)我們能收到更多的愛與友誼,我們應(yīng)該償還高達(dá)就可以了。
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 heart
最后,讓我們一起祈禱了,有一天,我們都能找到我們想找的人,就可以享受一段美好友誼的真正左右我們的生活了。讓我們一起祈禱友誼之花卻成為我們的朋友,我們將永遠(yuǎn)綻放鮮艷的在我們的心中

讓游戲閃亮你的英語課堂
游戲在英語課堂上的重要性都快比得上水之于魚了,很難想象一堂課上,如果沒有了游戲,該怎么繼續(xù)。不論高年級還是低年級,在游戲中學(xué)習(xí)都是一種十分有效的學(xué)習(xí)方式。低年級學(xué)生好動又好勝,游戲能讓他們在動身體的同時動腦,并且享受成功的喜悅。高年級的課堂相對而言比較乏味,適時的游戲會是絕佳的作料。好的游戲能讓一堂沉悶的英語課活躍起來,是學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的興奮的藥劑。
一、游戲的安排應(yīng)講究一個“適”字,適時、適式、適度。
。ㄒ唬┻m時組織游戲
看準(zhǔn)時機(jī),針對學(xué)生的實(shí)際安排合適的游戲形式。
1.讓學(xué)生從思想上盡快進(jìn)入英語課堂,游戲?qū)胧莻相當(dāng)快捷、有效的方法。我們可以安排listen and do,listen and point,look and say,flash and say等操作簡單,但具有檢查性質(zhì)的游戲。學(xué)生在玩游戲的同時,復(fù)習(xí)了舊知識,情感上也得到了體驗(yàn)。而從這些舊知識的復(fù)習(xí),我們可以自然過渡到新知識的傳授,溫故知新,以舊帶新,一舉兩得。
2.在復(fù)習(xí)鞏固階段,最忌諱的是機(jī)械操練。游戲能使復(fù)習(xí)變得生動。比如我們學(xué)了一系列水果以后,安排老師拿一個水果,學(xué)生說出來的環(huán)節(jié),但反復(fù)幾次之后,學(xué)生的積極性就會減弱。這時,我們安排游戲Who is missing?Who is fast?Magic eyes等,學(xué)生的積極性就會立刻恢復(fù),一只只小手又會爭先恐后地舉
起。
3.當(dāng)學(xué)生的臉上閃過“無聊”、“困惑”的痕跡時,游戲可解“燃眉之急”。高年級的學(xué)生面臨背單詞、記單詞的難題。如果不講究方法地死記硬背,不但效果不好,學(xué)生的興趣也會逐漸降低。在這個階段,如果能幫助他們掌握正確的方法,促使他們主動背單詞,就會對他們以后的英語學(xué)習(xí)有很大的幫助。單詞接龍、吊死鬼、尋找共同點(diǎn)等游戲,不僅讓學(xué)生始終處于積極思考的狀態(tài),而且能提高他們課后記單詞的興趣。
。ǘ┻m式組織游戲
有些游戲的可用性很強(qiáng),如copy不走樣等游戲,無論什么內(nèi)容,都能套用。但有些游戲,卻不是什么內(nèi)容都合適的。教師要學(xué)會使用最恰當(dāng)?shù)挠螒颍鏵lash and guess這樣的游戲僅適合單詞教學(xué),而不適合鞏固句型。
不同年齡階段的學(xué)生,對游戲的口味也不同,我們要學(xué)會投其所好。低年級的學(xué)生喜歡趣味性強(qiáng)的,如copy不走樣,high voice and low voice能引起他們參與的欲望。而高年級的學(xué)生則喜歡探索型的游戲,比如bingo、加減運(yùn)算對抗賽就很受他們的歡迎。
。ㄈ┻m度組織游戲
在教學(xué)中,我們不能只為讓學(xué)生放松、玩樂而安排游戲,歸根結(jié)底,游戲是為教學(xué)服務(wù)的。在游戲活動之前,我們必須指定相應(yīng)的規(guī)則,沒有規(guī)則,游戲過程就會很“亂”,有規(guī)則才能“活而
有序”。當(dāng)學(xué)生的“玩性”到五、六成的時候,我們的游戲就該結(jié)束了。因?yàn)槿绻螒蚪Y(jié)束太早,學(xué)生才剛進(jìn)入游戲狀態(tài),熟悉游戲規(guī)則,就結(jié)束游戲,一來掃興,二來游戲的“運(yùn)用語言”的目的也沒達(dá)到。如果游戲結(jié)束得太晚,學(xué)生就會越來越無聊,下次再玩這類游戲就沒有了熱情。
二、游戲的組織,還要講究一個“變”字——以不變應(yīng)萬變。
。ㄒ唬┣稍O(shè)陷阱
同一個游戲“發(fā)口令,做動作”,一般都是教師怎么發(fā),學(xué)生怎么做,最多讓一個學(xué)生發(fā),其他學(xué)生做,偶爾做做反口令,分組進(jìn)行比賽。做多了,學(xué)生的好奇心沒有了,游戲就變成了機(jī)械操練。如果設(shè)幾個陷阱,就會有“眼睛一眨,老母雞變鴨”的效果。趣味性的調(diào)節(jié)就是教師在做動作的時候,可以先慢慢地好像在做“坐下”的動作,眼神一定要是那種壞壞的,然后突然變成“起立”,讓學(xué)生產(chǎn)生和教師斗下去的欲望。師生成了“敵人”,而游戲就成了“戰(zhàn)爭”。把動作和語言結(jié)合起來,邊做動作邊說,動作和口令有時一致,有時不一致。在訓(xùn)練學(xué)生對所學(xué)知識掌握的同時,還訓(xùn)練了學(xué)生的反應(yīng)能力。
。ǘ┳儞Q速度
隨著學(xué)生對知識的掌握逐漸加深,訓(xùn)練的速度可以逐漸加快,這不但適合學(xué)習(xí)的規(guī)律,還使原本枯燥的操練重新顯出生氣,學(xué)生逐漸淡化的新奇感又被激起。
。ㄈ┆剟顧C(jī)制的運(yùn)用
在教育中,我們能體會到表揚(yáng)和激勵對學(xué)生起的作用比批評更大。在老師的激勵下,學(xué)生的探索精神更易發(fā)揮,更容易學(xué)會原本以為很難學(xué)的東西。我常常采用口頭表揚(yáng),認(rèn)為給學(xué)生物質(zhì)獎勵會使他們變得功利,但在同事們的感染下,偶爾嘗試獎勵,也取得了很好的激勵效果。我用小五星激勵學(xué)生,常常搞得自己整個黃昏剪五角星,有時,一節(jié)課獎多了,自己還有點(diǎn)心疼,最重要的是用多了學(xué)生還不稀罕了。其實(shí)我們可以嘗試用加分的方法,注意分值有區(qū)別,加分要敏感,時時注意給學(xué)生以表揚(yáng),讓學(xué)生得到認(rèn)可。這樣一來,不但讓自己得到解脫,更使獎勵更具可變性。
。ㄋ模┮匀藶楸
教育的對象是人,所以教育應(yīng)當(dāng)以人為本。在游戲中,教師的神態(tài)、語態(tài)、眼神、動作是十分重要的,教師要用主持人一般的激情,讓每個學(xué)生都感覺到老師的召喚。我相信教師只有投入情感,學(xué)生才會給予相應(yīng)的回報。
當(dāng)我們感到教學(xué)有一絲疲倦的時候,一個小游戲會趕走疲倦,讓我們放松那根緊繃的弦,重新振作精神。當(dāng)我們感到教學(xué)有一點(diǎn)枯燥的時候,一個小游戲會把歡笑帶來,當(dāng)笑聲充滿教室時,我們的心也跟著飛舞。當(dāng)我們感到教學(xué)有些沉悶的時候,一個小游戲讓我們的腦袋重新思考,手腦并用,邊玩樂邊學(xué)習(xí)。小學(xué)英語課堂里的游戲魅力無窮。

Dear friends:
If you can dream it, you can do it.——Walt Disney
It was a long four years. Even after I had actually graduated, the nightmares began to haunt me, the university would call to say I hadn’t truly graduated. There had been a mistake and there was just one more class I needed to take. I was always so relieved to wake up and realize that it had only been a bad dream. In reality, I had completed every course needed for my degree, and I was a full-fledged college graduate!
Now, the rest of my life loomed ahead of me. Sometimes a bachelor’s degree prepares you for a specific occupation——you train to be an accountant, you graduate and get a position in an accounting firm. Often, however, your stint in college only prepares you to make further decisions regarding your future. You’re pretty sure what you don’t want to do!
During my senior year of college, I had toyed with the idea of changing my major. At that point, I had finally discovered what captured my heart. But, wanting to finally be finishing school was a stronger pull. So, I took a few courses in physiology and exercise science, but not enough to receive a degree in physical therapy. That would require advanced schooling, beyond my bachelor’s degree——and I just wasn’tready to tackle that. Having completed my B.C. degree, I didn’t have any intentions of furthering my education.
So, I did the safe thing and got an office job——the very thing I was sure that I didn’t want to do! I detested the office policies, the suits I had to wear and the downtown environment that I had to drive to every day. I knew this was not where I belonged.
But god knew what path my career was to follow. A position opened up at the most exclusive health club in our city, so I applied. This was my kind of environment——an active, vibrant kind of place——completely at the opposite end of the spectrum from the office environment where I found myself. The position required that I work Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. Perfect, I thought! I could keep my office job Monday through Friday and work at my dream job on the weekends. This arrangement lasted several months until, eventually, a full-time position opened up and I was able to resign from my office job.
Over the next few years, I worked my way up the leader, gaining experience in several different departments. I found my niche as the director of member services——catering to our clientele and providing them with numerous cutting-edge programs. I would have stayed at that job forever——it seemed to be the pinnacle of all my dreams fulfilled. Here were fellow employees who had a passion for the same things that I did——health and fitness. Yet again, god had other plans for my life.Within two years, a newer, bigger, better and more state-of-the-art health club facility was built——just five miles down the road. And, in turn, the owner lost many members to that club. And, in turn, the owner lost thousands of dollars. One by one we were each laid off.
After trying unsuccessfully to land another similar position elsewhere, I knew what I had to do. Go back to school!thanks!

have you ever Dreamt of being in the movies? maybe you're a bit of a thespian? but what if you don't have matinee-idol looks? well, if you're creative and write well you could make your mark in hollywood as a screenwriter instead.
tony gilroy is one of hollywood's most sought-after screenwriters, with blockbusters such as the devil's advocate, armageddon and the bourne identity under his belt.
his advice to budding screenwriters is to make stuff up but keep it real. gilroy believes knowing about human behaviour is the deal-breaker. according to him, "the quality of your writing will be directly related to your understanding of human behaviour".
he says: "you need to become a journalist for the movie that is in your head. you need to report on it; every scene has to be real."
gilroy also thinks you've got to start with a very small idea that you can build on. for example, the bourne films are based on novels by the writer robert ludlum, but gilroy says he didn't actually read them. instead he created a world around the character of jason bourne, a spy who has lost his memory and tries to discover his own identity.
gilroy says: "the smallest thing with bourne was, 'if i don't know who i am and i don't know where i'm from, perhaps i can identify who i am by what i know how to do'. we built a whole new world around that small idea."
in short, he explains: "you just start small, you build out and you move one step after the next and that's how you write a hollywood movie".
one thing a screenwriter can't do without though, is a thick skin. you've got to learn how to handle rejection. even when you're successful. gilory was nominated for an Oscar for his script for michael clayton, starring george clooney. but the 20xx award in that category went to brook busey-maurio, for her debut script for the film juno.
so, do you think you have what it takes to consider a career in the movies?

親愛的老師,同學(xué)們:
我很高興可以在這個課堂上做一次演講。這一次,我想談?wù)動⒄Z。我的話題是我愛英語。
正如每個人所知,英語在今天十分重要。它已經(jīng)被應(yīng)用到世界的各個角落。它已經(jīng)成為商業(yè)上最為通用的一門語言并廣泛的用于國際貿(mào)易。如果我們能說好英語,我們就有更多的機(jī)會成功。因?yàn)樵絹碓蕉嗟娜俗⒁獾竭@一點(diǎn),學(xué)英語的人數(shù)正在已很高的速度增長。
但是對我而言,我學(xué)英語不僅僅因?yàn)樗闹匾砸约八膶?shí)用性,更是因?yàn)槲蚁矏塾⒄Z。當(dāng)我學(xué)英語時,我可以體會到一種不同的思維方式,它可以給我更多接觸世界的空間。當(dāng)我讀英語小說時,我能感受到不同于閱讀翻譯文的快樂。當(dāng)我說英語時,我可以感到自信。當(dāng)我寫英語時,我能夠感到不同于漢語的那種美……
我愛英語,它給了我一個色彩斑斕的夢。我希望有朝一日我可以暢游世界,用我流利的英語,我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到許多的名勝。我希望我能夠到倫敦去,因?yàn)槟抢锸怯⒄Z的故鄉(xiāng)。
我也希望用我流利的英語來將我們的名勝介紹給說英語的朋友,我希望他們可以像我們一樣的愛我們的國家。
我知道,羅馬不是一天筑成的。(成功需要日積月累。)我相信在持續(xù)不斷的努力學(xué)習(xí)下,總有一天我可以擁有一口流利的英語。
如果你想被愛,你就應(yīng)該學(xué)著去愛他人。所以我相信我對英語的愛定將換來它對我的愛。
我相信總有一天我會實(shí)現(xiàn)我的夢!
謝謝!
