A Loving Gentleness
爱的温柔
Do you know what a loving gentleness is like? Have you had a taste of it or shown it to others?
知道什么是爱的温柔吗?你曾经感受过它或者让他人感受过吗?
Surely you can get some idea of it from swallows under the eaves. They show it when they are busy flying to and fro to feed their nestlings. You can see it from the moon shedding cool light over the scorched land so that it becomes comfortable. You can also feel it when you listen to the clock ticking steadily, so considerate as not to disturb a sweet dream. Again you can find it in the heart of a young girl. She is charming because of her loving tenderness.
当然，你可以从屋檐下的燕子身上对爱的温柔有一些感悟，当它们匆匆忙忙地飞来飞去哺育巢中的雏鸟时，它们就显示出了这种温柔。你可以从月光上看到这种温柔，它清泠的光辉映照在枯黄的大地上，让人感觉到舒适。在聆听钟表有条不紊的嘀答声时，你也可以感觉到它，那声音如此体贴，不忍惊醒任何一个甜美的梦。你也可以在年轻女孩的心中发现它，由于爱的温柔，她变得魅力四射。
It's also a picture of loving tenderness for a youngster playing a pampered child in his or her mother' lap. But later, the person is so much changed by fate that tenderness is gone together with values of life. Some people are born uncouth. But tossed by life's storms they become gentle and good-humored unexpectedly, like mushrooms sprouting from the root of the tree of life.
在妈妈膝下撒娇的孩子也是一幅温柔的图画，之后，这个孩子在命运的支配下渐渐被改变，他的.温柔也随着生命的价值一同消逝。有些人生来就是粗鲁不文的，但经过生命的暴风雨的洗礼，他会出人意料地变得温柔而亲切起来，就像在生命之树下面萌发出来的蘑菇。
True, gentleness or a tender care is often associated with love and kindness. It can also be found in a good- natured or broad-minded person. It is not fair to think that it has anything to do with weakness.
的确，温柔与关切通常与爱和善良结伴同行，在脾气温和或心胸宽广的人身上，也可以发现到这种品质。认为温柔与软弱有关，是一种不公平的看法。
Gentle as spring breeze, it cracks the frozen river with its light touch. Soft as cotton, it renders a steel ball bouncing high from the ground paralyzed in its embrace. Similarly, tenderhearted as friendship, it melts the toughness of an ironwilled man and reduces him to grateful tears.
温柔就像春天的风，它轻柔的触摸让冰冻的河流开裂，它像棉絮一样柔软，从地上高高弹起的钢球也会在它的怀抱中麻痹。同样，温柔又像友谊，它能柔化一个有着钢铁般意志的男人，并让他流下感动的眼泪。
A loving gentleness is too subtle to describe. Though it seems invisible, inaudible and evasive to the touch, it is still perceptible. It is the quintessence of kindness, enthusiasm, love and moral support. It gives strength and power. It is the source of beauty.
爱的温柔过于微妙，难以言传，尽管它是看不见、听不着、摸不到的，但它却可以被人们感受到。它是善良、热情、爱与美德的结晶，它带来坚强与力量，它是美的源泉。
ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you inance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody gro men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
es from every detail in our life . financial problems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults noe other problems will also annoy us . i think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .
With the College Entrance Examinations approaching , the students of Senior Three are focusing much more on studying. Many of them even begin to stay up studying. A heated discussion was held to argue about the advantages and disadvantages of it.
Some students have their own reasons for studying late into night. Firstly, the quietness in the night will result in better effectiveness. Besides,
the examinations are only 200 days away so it's high time they made good use of every minute. What’s more, seeing others studying so hard, they will feel anxious if they don’t take action.
Some others, however, hold the opposite view, saying that a sensible senior student must know how to balance his time between study and leisure. As everyone knows, staying up late will naturally affect the next day's performance in class.
As far as I’m concerned, different people have different habits. If you can hold it, it’s your own business when to study and when to sleep.
I"ll tell you an experience of myself happened last week. last thursday our school was tackling something about woking fou study. i wanted to have a try even though i knew the salary was so low and i had little chance,because the students who had the certificate were always thought to have priority to get the job. fortunately i was called at noon and a teacher said to me that she wanted me to work for her and asked if i could change my mind.
At that moment i was so excited that immediately i accepted her idea. but later on,she found me that i"m not a student,so i had little chance and suggest me to get one. then an idea occurred to me that i could call my father and ask him to send me the letter. at the same time i was told that i was admitted to the job and don"t need the certificate. that time i forgot to remind my father,until the next day he called me that he had posted it and it would arrive in just one day.
At that moment i was moved, and even moved into tears, because i knew my father was injured not long before,the process of helping me with the affairs was not so convenient for him. but he tried his best to help me. sometimes we may complain about unsatisfying things around us,and blame them on our parents,sometimes they"ll be angry with us, and sometimes we can"t quite understand what they are thinking about. but on balance, almost every parent is selfless to his or her child.
They are ready to offer everything to us when we are in bad situation. we used to sharing sorrow with them,but do not forget to share our happiness with them, perhaps they will be much happier than we are. so from now on, let"s care more about our parents and do not leave pity to them. that"s what i want to tell you today. thank you!
hello, everyone .today i want to introduce one of my favourite novels. first let’s enjoy a video about it.
yes, this is the novel i’d like to introduce--.it is written by alice sebold, an american author. and in last year it was adapted（改编） into a movie by peter jackson, who is famous for his magic products—lord of rings. the movie is also very good.
after seeing the video, you may think this novel is frightening. i want to say ‘no, it’s not a horror fiction’. the novel tells about the thoughts of a murdered girl called susie after she was dead. she cannot forget her families and her lover .she stays in her own perfect world, watching their life. however, if the dead don’t forget the alive or don’t leave them for the heaven, people who are alive will not forget the sadness and cannot be cured by time.
somebody may think it’s a story about justice. but i want to say :’ no.’ at the end of the story , susie was able to come back to stay a few minutes with her boy .the last thing she want is only a kiss. she didn’t care about the punishment of the murder and just wish people all a long and happy life. that is what the novel wants to told us: love is always more important than hate. and ‘a family ,is like the bones all over one’s body .even though one piece breaks down and the others may feel sorry about it for some time , the dead are gone and the life is to be continued .
if one day u die,
if u are in in-between,
if u are in such a edge（边缘）of love and hate, hope and despair（绝望）.
what is your choice?
in a word, this is a moving novel that tells us the meaning of love and death. i believe when you read it, it can touch the softest corner of your heart.
that’s all, thank you.
Thanksgiving is a very important American festivity and it is celebrated on the last Thursday of November.
However, schools and many shops and offices are closed for four days: Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Americans travel great distances to be with their families on this occasion.
Why is Thanksgiving such an important day?
The tradition started with the Pilgrims, the founders of America.
The Pilgrims left Great Britain in 1620. They wanted to start a new life in America . One hundred men, women and children left Britain on a small ship called
the Mayflower. They arrived on the north-east coast of North America in December 1620 and founded Plymouth.
It was winter and they had no homes and little food.
They built small homes, But it was too late to cultivate crops.
The winter was very cold and harsh. Their living conditions were very bad. The friendly Wampanoag Indians helped them during the long winter.In the spring the Pilgrims met an Indian called Squanto. He explained how to grow corn, hunt and live in the wilderness. Soon the Pilgrims and the Indians became good friends.
The Pilgrims worked hard . By November 1621 everyone had food and a home. There was hope for the future. The Pilgrim leader, decided to celebrate with a dinner for the Pilgrims and the Indians. He wanted to give thanks to God.
This was the first Thanksgiving dinner and it lasted for three days.
Today the traditional Thanksgiving meal is similar to the first.
People eatroast turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.
Let's pregnant with a grateful heart。 Thank all who helped us.

感恩节是美国一个非常重要的节日，它是在11月的最后一个星期四庆祝。
然而，学校和许多商店和办事处关闭四天，周四，周五，周六和周日。
美国人旅行很远的距离，在这个时刻与家人(团聚)
为什么是感恩节这样一个重要的'日子呢?
传统开始于清教徒，美国的创始人。
清教徒在1620年离开英国。他们想在美国开始新的生活。 一百个男人，妇女和儿童乘一艘名为“五月花的小船船离开英国。
1620年十二月他们到达北美的东北海岸并成立普利茅斯。
当时是冬天，他们没有家庭和食品。 他们建立了小院，但培养作物，为时已晚，培养作物。冬季是非常寒冷和恶劣。他们的生活条件非常糟糕。友好的万帕诺亚格印第安人帮助他们度过了漫长的冬季。
清教徒们在春天遇见了一个叫做斯匡托的印第安人。他解释如何种植玉米，狩猎，住在旷野。
很快清教徒和印度人成了好朋友。让我们怀一颗感恩之心。
Life needs positive energy. A person’s life is a road with lots of difficulties and various negative emotions. Everyone will have the desperate time. Positive energy can help us go through this period of time. For example, I am sad about the exam yesterday. But an optimistic classmate encourages me to think in a good way and comfort me. I can recover soon. But if she also is as pessimistic as me, I won’t have recovered so quickly. Maybe I will be sad for a long time. There are many similar things happening in our life. To live a better life, we need positive energy.
as we all know, we will celebrate our 60th year of independence.xxyears is a short history for any country, however, many people’s dreams have come true. as a middle school student , i’m very glad that i have the chance to celebrate the 60 anniversaries
in the pastxyears , our standards of living really has changed dramatically. in the past, parents often worried about their children lacking eating and wearing. in that time, we did not see a number of overseas brands in china , and the pursuit of fashion become the subject of life. in the past, people often communicated by writing letters or taking telegram. today nearly every people use mobile phones to communicate with everyone at anywhere. a succession of changes has affected us , which leads us to live a more happier life.
in the past 60 years, china has scored impressive achievements in its development. china’s economy , especially in the latest 30 years, runs at an average of 9.4 percent，with its gdp jumping from 147.3 billion us dollars to over 1.4 trillion us dollars. as the same time, the technology of chain has improved rapidly. the “gold seven’ lunch is the best evidence. the most pride of china is the success of “ beijing olympic games”, which exhibits a harmonious china to foreigners.
in the end , let us bless our dear county to have a bright future together.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
China has its own sport legends. Back to Song Dynasty, People started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of Ancient football. So now, you will understand why our women football team is so good today.
With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Indian and Chinese. Carrying the message “Share the peace, Share the Olympics. “ The flame will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, Travel the Great Wall and visit Chinese Taiwan and the 56 Ethnic communities who make up our society. On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.
I am afraid I cannot prevent the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience alike. Come and join us.
Thank you. Thank you all.
