　　Ladies and Gentlemen,

　　It is always an exciting day in New Year Eve as the majority of people in the world are in very good mood of celebrating New Year. There are numerous New Year parties around the globe where many children are re-united with their families, young couples are together with their newborns, grandparents are taking their opportunities to spend some quality time with their own children as well as grandchildren. And the list goes on and on.

　　Just what exactly is New Year Eve? In my own view, I think there are two sets of meaning.

　　First, New Year Eve represents hope and a new start of the year. Hope is important to mankind. The symbolic meaning encourages us to put all our bad luck behind us as we look forward to a fresh start from the first day of the year.

　　Second, New Year Eve represents bonding between mankind. This important day grants all of us a chance to stay close to someone we love dearly. As we spend time with them, perhaps, we ask them how they are doing lately, or we find other ways to show someones how much we care for them.

　　What else do we get out of New Year Eve? Joy is the feel good factor. It means we enjoy being with someone. And joy is something that money can not buy in this world.

　　Thank you very much.

　　The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West.

　　Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new".

　　That Chinese people pay more attention to be polite,while it is different from other countries .And chinese culture is brilliant and they know how to use a brush to write

　　Now dragon is the symbol of the whole Chinese people.

　　Dragon is a animal worshipped by the Chinese people from the time immemorial. But what is it? No one knows.

　　Some people think that the Yanzi crocodile is the archetype of the dragon. However, most people hold that dragon is a combination of many animals. And the abilities of those animals have been collected to it. Wang Chong, once pointed that the horn of dragon liked deers one, the

　　Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

　　Today I would like to talk about current environment situations which youcan see all over the world. While we are pursuing better ways of lives, moreproblems we are also making. Sometimes we only notice a unilateral aspect of thematter while ignoring its various functions. This kind of negligence, however,may cause serious problems that could be devastating.

　　It is said that one false move may lose the game. This is proved in ourdaily life obviously. As the economy is growing rapidly day after day,manufacturers are looking for more opportunities to gain numerous profit. Toearn more money, one way is to decrease the cost of the products. They movetheir factories to developing countries which can not only benefit them muchmore profit than before, but also those countries welcome them since they canhelp increase the countries’ GDP.

　　While it seems we can gain a lot from building factories to produceproducts, the shortcomings of these buildings are becoming obvious. Though atthe beginning, those developing countries did gain a lot of profit. As timepasses, people living surround the factories deposit industrial waste into theriver which directly leads to the influence of human’s lives. Fish died, birdsdisappeared, people moved, and we couldn’t imagine what would come next. Theseindustries also use lots of resources to carry on their production. Largeamounts of carbon dioxide are discharged, we all know the consequence of that,global warming—as one of the most essential environmental problems in the world,is becoming more and more serious currently. That the local government ignoredwas that these factories damaged their environment without any punishment butreception! They didn’t notice the negative aspect on this investment. What apity!

　　In summary, nowadays, businessmen are destroying our motherland—earth forthemselves. What should we do in this situation? Ignore them or try to take someactions on it? I believe all of us will choose the latter, right? So just do it,nothing is impossible.

　　That’s all. Thank you.

　　Class 7. WFLS. Am I too late to say it’s just like a dream come true?

　　Quite frankly, military training is tiring. I’ve been told a million times about how exhausted I would be as soon as I finished this grueling training, and I don’t have any objection about that. However, now, I’ve got an Yes and No! I mean, physically,Yes, I have sun-tanned skin right now and for the first time I loathe being under the sun. Not to mention my sore legs and back. But this is just the heads of the coin. Tails, which means mentally, No! My inability to find proper words to express my feelings seems more and more overwhelming. Incredible? Unbelievable? Marvellous? Extremely impeccable maybe? These words are pale in comparison to the big picture of my future life. It’s like unwittingly, you fall in love with a new group of people, you feel for everything, you fall for everything.

　　I don’t know if I am being sensitive here. I remember us sprint out the door to assemble because we are running late. I remember us complaining about the miserable food when it’s time for lunch. I remember us sitting weirdly comfortable in a cool dark place when other classes were sweating. I remember us sharing jaw-dropping details about our lives and feel connected to others. I remember all those moments of rapture and ecstasy, all those senses of déjà vu, all those smiles of genuine happiness.

　　It’s like suddenly, I am no longer a prosaic girl living a plain life. It’s been a long time since the last time I didn’t regard myself as a catastrophe. As a lonely highway.The strong hope for the future made me the girl on fire. As I spoke with some friends of my pastimes and passions, words of such silky texture poured out from my soul with unparalleled candor and cadence. The voice that issued from my lips was at once richer, deeper, stronger than I had ever produced. It was as though an inner self, a core essence, had broken free and taken control. I broke out of my niche!

　　Anyway, I shouldn’t be too excited because it’s just five days. Even though I have already found some friends with extraordinarily similar interests as I do. Even though this is breaking news for me because I enjoyed be in this together finally. Even though the words of encouragements faded, I still recall them from time to time to taste it all over again. I swear I’m not severed from reality. Momentarily, it’s just impossible to describe all the details that happened during 5 days. I just need to speak all these things about how delighted I am to be in this class and try to be in tranquility…

　　I am a relatively total stranger to my new school. But it’s such a sensory bombardment for me even to think about it. I wanna be a part of something I don’t know. A fledging dragonfly is ready. I believe that the monarch will be crowned. May the best man win! You are gonna hear Class 7 ROAR!

　　Ps. I’d better start packing…

　　We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We can't say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely.

　　When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.

　　I am ten years old, though I am not mature, I am on the way of growing up. Two years ago, I was very shy, I even couldn’t talk to the strangers. But now I have made progress, I can talk to the strangers and make friends with them. I am not the shy girl any more. I have grown up gradually, in the future, I will become more and more better.

　　I like eating dumpling not because I am from Northern China but because itis really very delicious and stand for reunion. My family usually eat dumplingwhen all the members of family come together. Making dumplings with my sistersis the happiest thing for me.

　　Chinese dumpling is one of the most important foods in Spring Festival.Since Chinese food is famous all over the world, if you ask a foreigner how aboutChinese food, they will be full of praise.

　　East and West have met

　　runner-up: Rui Cheng gang, Foreign Affair College

　　Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:

　　Kipling said:" East is east, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!" But now, a century later, they have met.

　　They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the arts.

　　Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West ,but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.

　　But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity?

　　History makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.

　　Some people seem to think that adopting Western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in China, instead of the traditional Chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.

　　They fear that as we become "globalized", we will no longer be Chinese.

　　I do not agree.

　　History teachers that a strong and confident nation is at ease in hearing from the outside world.

　　The wedding of Eastern and Western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.

　　It is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.

　　As an amateur gourmet of Chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.

　　But my Chinese taste appreciates food from any land.

　　I even allow the convenience of McDonald's a place in my life without giving up my good taste.

　　My grandfather taught me to hum tunes of Beijing opera from the time I was very young; they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.

　　I love Beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who I am.

　　But I am also a fan of modern pop music, the No.1 fan of Spice Girls on campus.

　　of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance. It goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.

　　Once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a Chinese boy and an American girl had a squabble.

　　Both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.

　　Surely you've seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.

　　Nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural. No wonder they wanted him. The Chinese boy played his er-hu. Happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air. The little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music. He liked what he heard.

　　The girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.

　　The rabbit began to bounce in her direction.

　　So intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.

　　The competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn .Unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up ;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit. . .alone.

　　But, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other's music, instead of always playing their own tunes?

　　When I hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced.. . I hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.

　　Is music mine and yours, or is it ours?

　　What I want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and in tune. Together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with textures and sounds that can only be made in harmony.

　　The rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun. Waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.

　　Will he have to wait forever? The choice is ours . Thank you.

　　尊敬的評委、女士們、先生們：吉卜林說過，“東方是東方，西方是西方，兩者永不聚!”然而如今，在一個世紀之后，東西方相聚了。

　　它們在貿(mào)易中相聚，在教育中相聚，在藝術中相聚。

　　有人爭論說這種東西方之聚,使得我們能夠在東西方中作出選擇.然而我相信最美好的未來在于東西方世界的創(chuàng)造性的結合，我們可以變西方的觀念、習俗、技術為己所有，為己所用;我們可以享受兩上不同世界之精華，總之，我們的傳統(tǒng)之一就是擇其精華，為己所用。

　　然而，西方的生活方式和價值會威脅到我們的民族特色嗎?

　　歷史讓我們輕易相信——也許是太輕易地讓我們相信此說了。

　　有人似乎認為彩西方習俗，比如新娘結婚穿白色婚紗，是對外國介入的屈服，是對傳統(tǒng)遺產(chǎn)的背叛，因為按中國傳統(tǒng)，結婚新娘要穿紅色，而白色長期以來代表的是哀悼。

　　這些人擔心一量我們變得全球化，我們也就不在是中國人了。

　　我不這樣認為。

　　歷史告訴我們：一個強大自信的民族學起外面的世界易如反掌 。

　　無論是穿白衣還是黑衣，還是東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻，都給我們帶來多姿多采的生活。

　　東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻是一席來自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。

　　身為中國菜的業(yè)余美食家，我喜歡民族的佳肴。

　　然而我的中國口味也欣賞異國的風味。

　　生活中我為簡便吃麥當勞，卻不會放棄自己的良好口味。

　　從小祖父就教我哼唱京劇，京劇深入我的精神之中，成為我靈魂的一部分。

　　我熱愛京劇，因為京劇讓我總想起自己是誰。

　　但是我也迷戀現(xiàn)代流行音樂，在學校里還是“辣味女孩”的頭號歌迷。

　　當然，異質(zhì)文化的交流遠不止于食物、音樂和舞蹈，它深入到價值觀和世界觀。 有一次老師給我講了一個中國男孩和一個美國女孩發(fā)生爭執(zhí)的故事。

　　在花園里他們倆發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只小兔，兩人都想要。

　　你肯定見過草叢中曬太陽的小兔。

　　沒什么東西比小兔子更可愛的，更富有自然情趣了，難怪他們兩人都想要它。

　　男孩拉起了二胡，愉快喜悅的琴聲，充滿了渴望和激情，回蕩在空中，小兔子聽著這音樂輕輕搖擺，耳朵轉(zhuǎn)向音樂，它喜愛男孩的琴聲。

　　女孩也取出小提琴，拉出悠揚的旋律。

　　小兔子聽了朝她跑去。

　　兩人都全神貫注于自己的音樂，絲毫沒注意對方演奏的音樂。

　　交雜在一塊的音樂困惑了小兔子，它不知該朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能將小兔子吸引過來，只好放棄，各自走開了，扔下小兔子獨自一人。

　　然而倘若他們傾聽對方的音樂，而不是各自為歌，那么結果會如何呢?

　　當我聽到小提琴聲響起，男男女女走道一起又唱又跳，樂聲中充滿了歡樂， 此時我也聽見了草原上、山谷間、小河旁傳來得我們本民族的音樂的回聲。

　　音樂分你我，還是屬于我們大家?

　　我想聽的是二胡與小提琴的合奏，旋律與節(jié)奏和諧一致。

　　大家一起才能創(chuàng)造出新穎動聽音樂， 只有在和諧中大家才能創(chuàng)造出富有神韻的樂聲。

　　在溫暖的陽光中，小兔子在等待著我們一起演奏，等待著交響樂開始。

　　他有必要再永遠的等下去嗎?決擇在于我們自己。謝謝。

　　“ We are made wise not by the recollections of the past but by our responsibility for the future”

　　----George Bernard Shaw

　　China is faced with some enormous challenges as it enters the 21st century. In order to ensure the prosperity of our nation and its future generations we must confront and ultimately solve these challenges.

　　Some of the more pressing issues facing China are universal. These include environmental degradation, over population andthe effects of globalization.

　　To overcome some of the things we need to implement include:

　　Enhancing our scientific and industrial technologies in such areas as IT, Bio- tech, AI and Cybernetics.

　　Further develop public infrastructure in under developed regions.

　　Promote education reform at all levels.

　　Introduce sustainable development initiatives.

　　The implementation of free trade agreement between China and ASEAN.

　　The benefit to China in introducing these initiatives will be significant and far-reaching. It is important to realize that these initiatives need to filter down through all elements of the society in China. For instance, cutting edge technologies and intellectual properties; the development of e-commerce based economy; an education system that encourages innovation and creativity; increased foreign investment; higher living standards; more efficient use of natural resources.

　　It is important for us to realize these reforms are both essential and necessary. These will help China to fulfill its vast and unrealized potential on the world stage. It will also contribute more to a globalized world of the new century.

　　As for the future our task is not to foresee but to enable.

　　e or disagree: Universities should abolish the practice of cutting off the electricity at dormitory at night.

　　I agree with it. As a student, I should say, university shouldn't cut off electricity at dormitory at night. The original intention for university to cut off electricity is to ensure our rest for some students will stay up very late if there is nothing to limit them. However, these students are minority. Most students have regular timetable. What more, we are now already in university, I think we should be treated like high school students any longer. Especially in summer hot days, no electricity at night would be a nightmare to all students. We can't fall asleep without electric fans. I can't just imagine that. Universities should think more for their students and trust their self-control.

　　I should say, music training in college is necessary, especially for non-art students. To be honest, nowadays?college students are also under much pressure. We have to attend many complex courses everyday. Many students get tired and gloomy. Then, if there is a music course, it will greatly release our bad mood. And we will have a nice mood and more energy to continue our study. Besides, it's commonly believed that music training can cultivate people's character. It will make people more calm and wise as well as elegant. In fact, nowadays, many parents send their children to attend music course at a very young age. These parents hope their children will have a elegant and smart mind. Many of today's students in university didn't have adequate music training at their former school. If university can open related music course, it will be of great use for students?cultivation.

　　However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes verycomplicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so. I believe success is the realization of people’ s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people

　　With the development of society, the tourism has already become one style of daily life. More and more people spend their holiday on traveling.

　　However, the uncivilized behavior in tourism was often exposed by the media. For example, leaving some notes on the sites to express he has been here, but it can damage cultural relic which is always priceless. I remember several months ago, a Chinese tourist left some notes on a relic in Egypt and the relic has a history of more than one thousand years. What a pity! When I heard this thing, I feel very ashamed. Because it will not only tarnish our country’s image but also damage the priceless relic.

　　Other uncivilized behavior like smoking in public place, throwing garbage anywhere, speaking loudly in public place and jumping a queue will also make a bad impression in the public. But I think these bad habit can be reformed easily if people can realize them.

　　Yesterday I got a piece of information about uncivilized tourism. The news said that four people have been punished by our country because of their uncivilized behavior in tourism. Their name have been in the blacklist which will keep for five to ten years. So how the blacklist works? Let me tell you. If someone’s name is in the blacklist, it will be forbidden travelling for a period, maybe five years or ten years. I think the blacklist will works well.

　　Travelling can relax us. But I think civilized tourism can enjoy our life better.

　　I am very glad to have the chance to make this speech. My topic is: how to achieve success. First of all, let us see a story.

　　“Long long ago, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the men who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king gave them three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, there came up a handsome young prince in the king's palace." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, Prince successfully passed all the challenge and got the heart of the princess in time. And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily ever after."

　　Why aren't we tired of this story so beautiful, so uealistic (, I would say, so unimaginative ? How can a story like that can enduregenerations of repetition? The reason, I think, is that a typical success story like this is so close to our daily life. Moreover we can understand so deeply, it is not just a story, but a good will from people’s inner heart. By implication, we see a 4-step definitions of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess. So you’d better find your princess as soon as possible; 2 ) challenges to be meet, as represented by the three tasks. Only if you directly meet the challenge, can you besuccessful; 3 ) the process of overcoming difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage. That’s all! Find your princess, meet challenges, overcome difficulties, and have a good life.

　　Thank you!

　　What I'd like to do today is talk about one of my favorite subjects, and that is the neuroscience of sleep.

　　Now, there is a sound -- (Alarm clock) -- aah, it worked -- a sound that is desperately, desperately familiar to most of us, and of course it's the sound of the alarm clock. And what that truly ghastly, awful sound does is stop the single most important behavioral experience that we have, and that's sleep. If you're an average sort of person, 36 percent of your life will be spent asleep, which means that if you live to 90, then 32 years will have been spent entirely asleep.

　　Now what that 32 years is telling us is that sleep at some level is important. And yet, for most of us, we don't give sleep a second thought. We throw it away. We really just don't think about sleep. And so what I'd like to do today is change your views, change your ideas and your thoughts about sleep. And the journey that I want to take you on, we need to start by going back in time.

　　"Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber." Any ideas who said that? Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Yes, let me give you a few more quotes. "O sleep, O gentle sleep, nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee?" Shakespeare again, from -- I won't say it -- the Scottish play. [Correction: Henry IV, Part 2] (Laughter) From the same time: "Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together." Extremely prophetic, by Thomas Dekker, another Elizabethan dramatist.

　　But if we jump forward 400 years, the tone about sleep changes somewhat. This is from Thomas Edison, from the beginning of the 20th century. "Sleep is a criminal waste of time and a heritage from our cave days." Bang. (Laughter) And if we also jump into the 1980s, some of you may remember that Margaret Thatcher was reported to have said, "Sleep is for wimps." And of course the infamous -- what was his name? -- the infamous Gordon Gekko from "Wall Street" said, "Money never sleeps."

　　What do we do in the 20th century about sleep? Well, of course, we use Thomas Edison's light bulb to invade the night, and we occupied the dark, and in the process of this occupation, we've treated sleep as an illness, almost. We've treated it as an enemy. At most now, I suppose, we tolerate the need for sleep, and at worst perhaps many of us think of sleep as an illness that needs some sort of a cure. And our ignorance about sleep is really quite profound.

　　Why is it? Why do we abandon sleep in our thoughts? Well, it's because you don't do anything much while you're asleep, it seems. You don't eat. You don't drink. And you don't have sex. Well, most of us anyway. And so therefore it's -- Sorry. It's a complete waste of time, right? Wrong. Actually, sleep is an incredibly important part of our biology, and neuroscientists are beginning to explain why it's so very important. So let's move to the brain.

　　Now, here we have a brain. This is donated by a social scientist, and they said they didn't know what it was, or indeed how to use it, so -- (Laughter) Sorry. So I borrowed it. I don't think they noticed. Okay. (Laughter)

　　The point I'm trying to make is that when you're asleep, this thing doesn't shut down. In fact, some areas of the brain are actually more active during the sleep state than during the wake state. The other thing that's really important about sleep is that it doesn't arise from a single structure within the brain, but is to some extent a network property, and if we flip the brain on its back -- I love this little bit of spinal cord here -- this bit here is the hypothalamus, and right under there is a whole raft of interesting structures, not least the biological clock. The biological clock tells us when it's good to be up, when it's good to be asleep, and what that structure does is interact with a whole raft of other areas within the hypothalamus, the lateral hypothalamus, the ventrolateral preoptic nuclei. All of those combine, and they send projections down to the brain stem here. The brain stem then projects forward and bathes the cortex, this wonderfully wrinkly bit over here, with neurotransmitters that keep us awake and essentially provide us with our consciousness. So sleep arises from a whole raft of different interactions within the brain, and essentially, sleep is turned on and off as a result of a range of

　　Okay. So where have we got to? We've said that sleep is complicated and it takes 32 years of our life. But what I haven't explained is what sleep is about. So why do we sleep? And it won't surprise any of you that, of course, the scientists, we don't have a consensus. There are dozens of different ideas about why we sleep, and I'm going to outline three of those.

　　The first is sort of the restoration idea, and it's somewhat intuitive. Essentially, all the stuff we've burned up during the day, we restore, we replace, we rebuild during the night. And indeed, as an explanation, it goes back to Aristotle, so that's, what, 2,300 years ago. It's gone in and out of fashion. It's fashionable at the moment because what's been shown is that within the brain, a whole raft of genes have been shown to be turned on only during sleep, and those genes are associated with restoration and metabolic pathways. So there's good evidence for the whole restoration hypothesis.

　　What about energy conservation? Again, perhaps intuitive. You essentially sleep to save calories. Now, when you do the sums, though, it doesn't really pan out. If you compare an individual who has slept at night, or stayed awake and hasn't moved very much, the energy saving of sleeping is about 110 calories a night. Now, that's the equivalent of a hot dog bun. Now, I would say that a hot dog bun is kind of a meager return for such a complicated and demanding behavior as sleep. So I'm less convinced by the energy conservation idea.

　　But the third idea I'm quite attracted to, which is brain processing and memory consolidation. What we know is that, if after you've tried to learn a task, and you sleep-deprive individuals, the ability to learn that task is smashed. It's really hugely attenuated. So sleep and memory consolidation is also very important. However, it's not just the laying down of memory and recalling it. What's turned out to be really exciting is that our ability to come up with novel solutions to complex problems is hugely enhanced by a night of sleep. In fact, it's been estimated to give us a threefold advantage. Sleeping at night enhances our creativity. And what seems to be going on is that, in the brain, those neural connections that are important, those synaptic connections that are important, are linked and strengthened, while those that are less important tend to fade away and be less important.

　　Okay. So we've had three explanations for why we might sleep, and I think the important thing to realize is that the details will vary, and it's probable we sleep for multiple different reasons. But sleep is not an indulgence. It's not some sort of thing that we can take on board rather casually. I think that sleep was once likened to an upgrade from economy to business class, you know, the equiavlent of. It's not even an upgrade from economy to first class. The critical thing to realize is that if you don't sleep, you don't fly. Essentially, you never get there, and what's extraordinary about much of our society these days is that we are desperately sleep-deprived.

　　So let's now look at sleep deprivation. Huge sectors of society are sleep-deprived, and let's look at our sleep-o-meter. So in the 1950s, good data suggests that most of us were getting around about eight hours of sleep a night. Nowadays, we sleep one and a half to two hours less every night, so we're in the six-and-a-half-hours-every-night league. For teenagers, it's worse, much worse. They need nine hours for full brain performance, and many of them, on a school night, are only getting five hours of sleep. It's simply not enough. If we think about other sectors of society, the aged, if you are aged, then your ability to sleep in a single block is somewhat disrupted, and many sleep, again, less than five hours a night. Shift work. Shift work is extraordinary, perhaps 20 percent of the working population, and the body clock does not shift to the demands of working at night. It's locked onto the same light-dark cycle as the rest of us. So when the poor old shift worker is going home to try and sleep during the day, desperately tired, the body clock is saying, "Wake up. This is the time to be awake." So the quality of sleep that you get as a night shift worker is usually very poor, again in that sort of five-hour region. And then, of course, tens of millions of people suffer from jet lag. So who here has jet lag? Well, my goodness gracious. Well, thank you very much indeed for not falling asleep, because that's what your brain is craving.

　　One of the things that the brain does is indulge in micro-sleeps, this involuntary falling asleep, and you have essentially no control over it. Now, micro-sleeps can be sort of somewhat embarrassing, but they can also be deadly. It's been estimated that 31 percent of drivers will fall asleep at the wheel at least once in their life, and in the U.S., the statistics are pretty good: 100,000 accidents on the freeway have been associated with tiredness, loss of vigilance, and falling asleep. A hundred thousand a year. It's extraordinary. At another level of terror, we dip into the tragic accidents at Chernobyl and indeed the space shuttle Challenger, which was so tragically lost. And in the investigations that followed those disasters, poor judgment as a result of extended shift work and loss of vigilance and tiredness was attributed to a big chunk of those disasters.

　　So when you're tired, and you lack sleep, you have poor memory, you have poor creativity, you have increased impulsiveness, and you have overall poor judgment. But my friends, it's so much worse than that.

　　(Laughter)

　　If you are a tired brain, the brain is craving things to wake it up. So drugs, stimulants. Caffeine represents the stimulant of choice across much of the Western world. Much of the day is fueled by caffeine, and if you're a really naughty tired brain, nicotine. And of course, you're fueling the waking state with these stimulants, and then of course it gets to 11 o'clock at night, and the brain says to itself, "Ah, well actually, I need to be asleep fairly shortly. What do we do about that when I'm feeling completely wired?" Well, of course, you then resort to alcohol. Now alcohol, short-term, you know, once or twice, to use to mildly sedate you, can be very useful. It can actually ease the sleep transition. But what you must be so aware of is that alcohol doesn't provide sleep, a biological mimic for sleep. It sedates you. So it actually harms some of the neural proccessing that's going on during memory consolidation and memory recall. So it's a short-term acute measure, but for goodness sake, don't become addicted to alcohol as a way of getting to sleep every night.

　　Another connection between loss of sleep is weight gain. If you sleep around about five hours or less every night, then you have a 50 percent likelihood of being obese. What's the connection here? Well, sleep loss seems to give rise to the release of the hormone ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Ghrelin is released. It gets to the brain. The brain says, "I need carbohydrates," and what it does is seek out carbohydrates and particularly sugars. So there's a link between tiredness and the metabolic predisposition for weight gain.

　　Stress. Tired people are massively stressed. And one of the things of stress, of course, is loss of memory, which is what I sort of just then had a little lapse of. But stress is so much more. So if you're acutely stressed, not a great problem, but it's sustained stress associated with sleep loss that's the problem. So sustained stress leads to suppressed immunity, and so tired people tend to have higher rates of overall infection, and there's some very good studies showing that shift workers, for example, have higher rates of cancer. Increased levels of stress throw glucose into the circulation. Glucose becomes a dominant part of the vasculature and essentially you become glucose intolerant. Therefore, diabetes 2. Stress increases cardiovascular disease as a result of raising blood pressure. So there's a whole raft of things associated with sleep loss that are more than just a mildly impaired brain, which is where I think most people think that sleep loss resides.

　　So at this point in the talk, this is a nice time to think, well, do you think on the whole I'm getting enough sleep? So a quick show of hands. Who feels that they're getting enough sleep here? Oh. Well, that's pretty impressive. Good. We'll talk more about that later, about what are your tips.

　　So most of us, of course, ask the question, "Well, how do I know whether I'm getting enough sleep?" Well, it's not rocket science. If you need an alarm clock to get you out of bed in the morning, if you are taking a long time to get up, if you need lots of stimulants, if you're grumpy, if you're irritable, if you're told by your work colleagues that you're looking tired and irritable, chances are you are sleep-deprived. Listen to them. Listen to yourself.

　　What do you do? Well -- and this is slightly offensive -- sleep for dummies: Make your bedroom a haven for sleep. The first critical thing is make it as dark as you possibly can, and also make it slightly cool. Very important. Actually, reduce your amount of light exposure at least half an hour before you go to bed. Light increases levels of alertness and will delay sleep. What's the last thing that most of us do before we go to bed? We stand in a massively lit bathroom looking into the mirror cleaning our teeth. It's the worst thing we can possibly do before we went to sleep. Turn off those mobile phones. Turn off those computers. Turn off all of those things that are also going to excite the brain. Try not to drink caffeine too late in the day, ideally not after lunch. Now, we've set about reducing light exposure before you go to bed, but light exposure in the morning is very good at setting the biological clock to the light-dark cycle. So seek out morning light. Basically, listen to yourself. Wind down. Do those sorts of things that you know are going to ease you off into the honey-heavy dew of slumber.

　　Okay. That's some facts. What about some myths?

　　Teenagers are lazy. No. Poor things. They have a biological predisposition to go to bed late and get up late, so give them a break.

　　We need eight hours of sleep a night. That's an average. Some people need more. Some people need less. And what you need to do is listen to your body. Do you need that much or do you need more? Simple as that.

　　Old people need less sleep. Not true. The sleep demands of the aged do not go down. Essentially, sleep fragments and becomes less robust, but sleep requirements do not go down.

　　And the fourth myth is, early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Well that's wrong at so many different levels. (Laughter) There is no, no evidence that getting up early and going to bed early gives you more wealth at all. There's no difference in socioeconomic status. In my experience, the only difference between morning people and evening people is that those people that get up in the morning early are just horribly smug.

　　(Laughter) (Applause)

　　Okay. So for the last part, the last few minutes, what I want to do is change gears and talk about some really new, breaking areas of neuroscience, which is the association between mental health, mental illness and sleep disruption. We've known for 130 years that in severe mental illness, there is always, always sleep disruption, but it's been largely ignored. In the 1970s, when people started to think about this again, they said, "Yes, well, of course you have sleep disruption in schizophrenia because they're on anti-psychotics. It's the anti-psychotics causing the sleep problems," ignoring the fact that for a hundred years previously, sleep disruption had been reported before anti-psychotics.

　　So what's going on? Lots of groups, several groups are studying conditions like depression, schizophrenia and bipolar, and what's going on in terms of sleep disruption. We have a big study which we published last year on schizophrenia, and the data were quite extraordinary. In those individuals with schizophrenia, much of the time, they were awake during the night phase and then they were asleep during the day. Other groups showed no 24-hour patterns whatsoever. Their sleep was absolutely smashed. And some had no ability to regulate their sleep by the light-dark cycle. They were getting up later and later and later and later each night. It was smashed.

　　So what's going on? And the really exciting news is that mental illness and sleep are not simply associated but they are physically linked within the brain. The neural networks that predispose you to normal sleep, give you normal sleep, and those that give you normal mental health are overlapping. And what's the evidence for that? Well, genes that have been shown to be very important in the generation of normal sleep, when mutated, when changed, also predispose individuals to mental health problems. And last year, we published a study which showed that a gene that's been linked to schizophrenia, which, when mutated, also smashes the sleep. So we have evidence of a genuine mechanistic overlap between these two important systems.

　　Other work flowed from these studies. The first was that sleep disruption actually precedes certain types of mental illness, and we've shown that in those young individuals who are at high risk of developing bipolar disorder, they already have a sleep abnormality prior to any clinical diagnosis of bipolar. The other bit of data was that sleep disruption may actually exacerbate, make worse the mental illness state. My colleague Dan Freeman has used a range of agents which have stabilized sleep and reduced levels of paranoia in those individuals by 50 percent.

　　So what have we got? We've got, in these connections, some really exciting things. In terms of the neuroscience, by understanding the neuroscience of these two systems, we're really beginning to understand how both sleep and mental illness are generated and regulated within the brain. The second area is that if we can use sleep and sleep disruption as an early warning signal, then we have the chance of going in. If we know that these individuals are vulnerable, early intervention then becomes possible. And the third, which I think is the most exciting, is that we can think of the sleep centers within the brain as a new therapeutic target. Stabilize sleep in those individuals who are vulnerable, we can certainly make them healthier, but also alleviate some of the appalling symptoms of mental illness.

　　So let me just finish. What I started by saying is take sleep seriously. Our attitudes toward sleep are so very different from a pre-industrial age, when we were almost wrapped in a duvet. We used to understand intuitively the importance of sleep. And this isn't some sort of crystal-waving nonsense. This is a pragmatic response to good health. If you have good sleep, it increases your concentration, attention, decision-making, creativity, social skills, health. If you get sleep, it reduces your mood changes, your stress, your levels of anger, your impulsivity, and your tendency to drink and take drugs. And we finished by saying that an understanding of the neuroscience of sleep is really informing the way we think about some of the causes of mental illness, and indeed is providing us new ways to treat these incredibly debilitating conditions.

　　Jim Butcher, the fantasy writer, said, "Sleep is God. Go worship." And I can only recommend that you do the same.

　　Thank you for your attention.

　　(Applause)

　　Hello everyone,I'm .My topic is "we should protect earth". As we all notice,the weather becomes very odd recently.In a month like now,it should be quite warm,but I'm still wearing my winter dresses.It's still rather cold,which shouldn't happen at this season.In summer it's extremely cold while terribly hot in winter.All these factors make earth a unfavourible place to live in. here you can show some pictures or other materials you have collected. We all know that earth is our common mother.

　　We all live in it.She provides us everyting we need.She has been enormously generous to us.We should do our best to care for her. Now before it's too late,I think we should start to take actions.Protect the earth starting from you and me,from what we can do ourselves.For instance,ALWAYS throw rubbish in the bin and etc. Besides,we should try our best to know more about environment protection knowledge.The bad weather has made us suffer a lot.I believe everyone here has the same feeling as mine.I guess that's the price we paid for doing harm to the earth.We have nobody but ourselves to blame for that. At last,have you seen the movie"the day after tommorrow".It's a movie about weather.It's a good one and worth to have a look. thank you!
