building bridges for the future

i’m studying in a city that’s famous for its walls. people who visit my city are amazed at the imposing sight of its walls, especially when silhouetted against the setting sun with gold, shining streaks. the old, cracked bricks are covered with lichens and the walls are weather-beaten guards standing still for centuries.

our ancestors liked to build walls. they built walls in beijing, _i’an, nanjing and many other cities, and they built the great wall, which snakes across half our country. they built walls to protect against enemies and evil spirits. this tradition has survived to this day: we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.

for a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.

my perceptions, however, changed after i made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs of my city. my classmates and i were walking with some foreign students. as we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by tall trees, which formed a wide canopy above our heads. suddenly one foreign student asked me, "where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?"

"we’re already in the eastern suburbs," i replied. he seemed taken aback, "i thought you chinese had walls for everything." his remark set off a heated debate. at one point, he likened our walled cities to "jails", while i insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had no walls.

that debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from this student. for instance, he told me that some major universities like o_ford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls. i have to admit that we do have many walls in china, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible. we will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.

let me give another e_ample.

a year ago, when i was working on a term paper, i needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. however, the librarian coldly rejected my request to borrow it, saying, "you can’t borrow this book, you’re not a student here." in the end, i had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy. meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.

at the beginning of this semester, i heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my e_perience wouldn’t be repeated. barriers would be replaced by bridges. an inter-library loan system would give us access to books from any library. with globalization and china integrated into the world, i believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.

i know that globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. but one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to china’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to e_amine their role in the modern world.

and how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? should we tear them down? definitely not. my city, like beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve the walls. these walls attract historians, archaeologists, and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history and cultural heritage. walls have become bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. if the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great changes in the role of their walls. they are now bridges that link east and west, south and north, and all countries of the world. our cultural heritage will survive globalization.

21世紀(jì)杯英語(yǔ)演講比賽技巧

主要考察選手多方面能力：思維能力、邏輯能力和語(yǔ)言能力。思維能力是指選手在毫無(wú)準(zhǔn)備的情況下對(duì)某一問(wèn)題的分析能力，對(duì)問(wèn)題理解的深度和寬度等;邏輯能力主要指選手是否有全局觀，是否能合理搭筑整個(gè)演講的框架，所闡述觀點(diǎn)的層次性是否清晰;而語(yǔ)言能力則是指選手即席用英語(yǔ)進(jìn)行交流溝通的能力，可檢驗(yàn)選手的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言熟練度和準(zhǔn)確度如何。那么如何應(yīng)對(duì)即興演講呢?

即興演講的題目涉及方方面面，從經(jīng)濟(jì)、政治、教育、文化、人生到國(guó)際問(wèn)題，包羅萬(wàn)象。這也是即興演講具有極強(qiáng)挑戰(zhàn)性的原因之一。 題目的范圍之大之廣對(duì)參賽選手提出了很高的要求。要求演講者平時(shí)養(yǎng)成讀書(shū)看報(bào)的習(xí)慣，關(guān)注周?chē)l(fā)生的焦點(diǎn)問(wèn)題和國(guó)際時(shí)事，積累各個(gè)領(lǐng)域的素材，以便談?wù)撈鹉骋粋€(gè)話(huà)題時(shí)言之有物，有的放矢;要求演講者平時(shí)養(yǎng)成思考的習(xí)慣，多聽(tīng)不同的聲音，從不同角度看問(wèn)題，看問(wèn)題有想法、有深度。這些都是賽前的準(zhǔn)備工作，應(yīng)多積累、豐富自己的知識(shí)內(nèi)容，強(qiáng)化自己的觀點(diǎn)。

好的內(nèi)容包括好的主題以及有說(shuō)服力的材料做支持。

1.強(qiáng)有力的材料做支持

正如前面討論過(guò)的那樣，論據(jù)的類(lèi)型最基本可分為三種：實(shí)例、統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字以及引用別人的言語(yǔ)。對(duì)于即興演講來(lái)說(shuō)，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)能夠找到恰當(dāng)?shù)慕y(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字是非常困難的。因此在即興演講時(shí)，引用別人的言語(yǔ)和用實(shí)例來(lái)證明是最常見(jiàn)的兩種方式。那么應(yīng)該選擇哪種類(lèi)型的例子來(lái)做論據(jù)呢?在比賽現(xiàn)場(chǎng)上進(jìn)行即興演講時(shí)，最切實(shí)可行的、最容易做到的就是用自己或自己周?chē)l(fā)生的例子來(lái)說(shuō)明你的觀點(diǎn)，信手拈來(lái)，不用絞盡腦汁，演講起來(lái)最自如，最自信;這樣做無(wú)形之中也強(qiáng)化了自己的可信度，比較容易打動(dòng)聽(tīng)眾。

在選擇使用論據(jù)時(shí)，尤其是在競(jìng)賽當(dāng)中，需要特別注意以下兩個(gè)原則。

（1)演講的支持材料要切題。

所選擇的支持材料要為你的中心觀點(diǎn)或主題服務(wù)，不能偏離這一點(diǎn)，不能跑題。記得一個(gè)學(xué)生在參加比賽時(shí)，抽到的即興演講題目是，"中國(guó)成為世界貿(mào)易組織的成員對(duì)于我們國(guó)家有什么主要影響?"她在演講中講了一個(gè)很長(zhǎng)的故事，一個(gè)年輕人在海邊拾貝殼，碰到了一個(gè)老人，以及和這個(gè)老人之間展開(kāi)的對(duì)話(huà)。這個(gè)故事占了整個(gè)演講的三分之二，然后很牽強(qiáng)地把這個(gè)故事和她抽到的題目聯(lián)系在一起。盡管她的故事敘述得很流利，但在整個(gè)即興演講結(jié)束后，聽(tīng)眾仍然不知她對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題的回答是什么?很顯然，演講者在賽前準(zhǔn)備了幾個(gè)故事，準(zhǔn)備在即興演講時(shí)使用。的確，在賽前要做充分的準(zhǔn)備，準(zhǔn)備各個(gè)領(lǐng)域的數(shù)據(jù)、例子、權(quán)威專(zhuān)家的話(huà)等，做好充分的調(diào)研，以便在比賽中游刃有余。但切記你所選擇的支持材料一定要與主題相關(guān)，為主題服務(wù)，能夠幫助聽(tīng)眾更加深入地了解你的觀點(diǎn)，決不能?chē)W眾取寵。不切題的即興演講絕不會(huì)得高分。

(2)演講的支持材料要貼近聽(tīng)眾。

演講的支持材料最好是聽(tīng)眾熟悉的，貼近聽(tīng)眾，不僅有利于聽(tīng)眾理解、接受和吸收你的信息，而且容易產(chǎn)生共鳴。筆者作為輔導(dǎo)教師參加過(guò)多次的全國(guó)英語(yǔ)演講比賽，在比賽中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)很奇怪的現(xiàn)象。有很多學(xué)生舉例子或引用別人的話(huà)時(shí)，往往愿意用國(guó)外的例子或國(guó)外名人說(shuō)的話(huà)來(lái)支持他們的論點(diǎn)。學(xué)生也許有些許擔(dān)心，"如果用土生土長(zhǎng)的例子，外國(guó)評(píng)委可能會(huì)不知道，不了解背景，會(huì)影響他們對(duì)整個(gè)演講的評(píng)判。"然而在一次比賽中，一位來(lái)自美國(guó)的演講專(zhuān)家在做點(diǎn)評(píng)時(shí)說(shuō)到，"不用擔(dān)心我們會(huì)不了解，或聽(tīng)不懂。問(wèn)題是作為一個(gè)外國(guó)人，我們?cè)谶@里希望聽(tīng)到有關(guān)你們國(guó)家的人、事、思想、文化，而不是我們國(guó)家的名人如林肯、克林頓，他們說(shuō)了什么，干了什么。"他一語(yǔ)道破了問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵，演講者所說(shuō)的要和你的聽(tīng)眾拉近距離，講一些本地發(fā)生的事情，發(fā)生的事情對(duì)聽(tīng)眾產(chǎn)生了什么樣的影響，用當(dāng)?shù)氐奈幕?、理念?lái)解釋你的觀點(diǎn)，這樣更容易在聽(tīng)眾中產(chǎn)生共鳴。但并不是說(shuō)就一定不能用國(guó)外的例子或觀點(diǎn)。要全方位地選擇論據(jù)，選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)牟牧蠟槟愕挠^點(diǎn)服務(wù)。

2.好的主題與觀點(diǎn)

(1)切題

切題最重要。一般而言，選手拿到的題目都是以問(wèn)題的形式出現(xiàn)的。你需要表明在這個(gè)問(wèn)題上的立場(chǎng)和觀點(diǎn)，決不可以含糊其詞，態(tài)度閃爍不定，站在中間，既談好處又談弊端。如果堅(jiān)持這樣，那么評(píng)委和聽(tīng)眾就會(huì)認(rèn)為你是在逃避，你的觀點(diǎn)不明確，態(tài)度不明朗，那也就很難勝出。這點(diǎn)在cctv杯演講比賽中尤其重要，因?yàn)榧磁d演講是為以后的辯論做準(zhǔn)備。

(2) 觀點(diǎn)的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)性

觀點(diǎn)需要限制和修飾。要用發(fā)展性的眼光來(lái)處理你的觀點(diǎn)。表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)的語(yǔ)言本身要嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，準(zhǔn)確，盡量避免絕對(duì)化的字眼，如 "never, every, all, nothing, nobody"等，這些絕對(duì)化判斷太容易遭到攻擊。

觀點(diǎn)本身能夠站得住腳，有充足的材料可以說(shuō)明論證。

承認(rèn)你的觀點(diǎn)有修正和完善的余地。你的觀點(diǎn)可能只是你目前認(rèn)識(shí)的一個(gè)方面，或者是現(xiàn)階段你的一種想法，它仍然有完善的余地。

have you ever bought any food on the train? and do you ask for the receipt after buying it? nowadays, all trains in china provide its passengers with receipts for commodities, but 7 years ago, things were quite different.

on 13th of october, 20__, the train t109 from beijing to shanghai was speeding on the railway. a graduate student bought a sausage at 1 yuan on the train, then asked for a receipt.

“are you kidding? it’s just one yuan!” the crew member was surprised.

the student, however, answered in a determined voice, “i paid the money, so i deserve the receipt.”

“but we never give receipts on the train.’ as a result, his further request was turned down by a cold shoulder.

several days later, the student sued the national railway ministry, for not providing receipts for passengers.

to his dismay, the court turned down the case for lack of evidence. but he, who majored in law at that time, believed law as a most powerful weapon, so he did not give up. instead, he began his journey of collecting first-hand evidence by taking trains and buying commodities aboard. when his classmates were playing soccer, he was taking the train; when his classmates were buying food at mcdonald’s, he was buying food on the train; when his classmates were asking girls out, he was asking for the receipts. as he joked, ‘i was either taking the train or on the way to take the train.’

one month later, he appeared in the court again, with newly-collected evidence and a stronger confidence. and i guess, ladies and gentlemen, you will all cheer for the result because this time, the student won the case. very soon, a regulation about receipts on the train came out. and whatever we buy on the train now, there’s a receipt for us.

outside the court, the student was asked, “how do you make it to the end?” he said, “as a law student, i root my faith in law. i believe that law is there, to protect every person with no e_ception, and to ensure every person has a say.”

his words spread a strong faith in law, which is not only a doctrine of a law student, but also a belief that all citizens ought to hold. it is this faith that initiates the student to resort to law for a tiny issue; it is this faith that supports him to endure all the e_hausting trips when collecting evidence; it is this faith that makes a seemingly “ridiculous” receipt request legal and rightful. it is this faith that helps to change our life, enhance our judicial system and bring social justice.

to many, a receipt of 1 yuan is too small to mention, however rights are to be respected and law is to be believed in. it all starts with a tiny receipt of 1 yuan, but we get a monumental case, a new regulation and a bumper harvest in social justice. the bridge that leads a tiny start to a bumper harvest is faith, the faith in law, rightful and strong.

change

leo tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

he is right. we always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand that changes the world or benefits all of mankind .for e_ample; we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean. yet we still litter on the ground. we complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation. we are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them. but, do we, as adults, set a good e_ample for our kids? we use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of them, i dare to say, we harm more!

in my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first. as ordinary individuals, we do not have the power to change the world. but we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.

if each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of individuals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!

so please, the ne_t time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!

改變

列夫·托爾斯泰曾說(shuō)過(guò)：每個(gè)人都想改變這個(gè)世界，但是沒(méi)有人想到改變自己。

他說(shuō)的很有道理，我們每個(gè)人都心懷偉大時(shí)志向，時(shí)刻準(zhǔn)備去干一番能造福全人類(lèi)的大事業(yè)。比如，我們痛恨環(huán)境污染，所以我們下定決心去開(kāi)發(fā)新的更高效更干凈的能源來(lái)保護(hù)我們的環(huán)境，但是同時(shí)我們卻隨手亂扔垃圾;我們抱怨大城市的交通堵塞，計(jì)劃造更多的高速路來(lái)解決交通問(wèn)題，但是我們從來(lái)沒(méi)有想過(guò)，如果我們能遵守交通規(guī)則話(huà)，那么這一問(wèn)題是不是可以得到很大得緩解呢?我們擔(dān)心電視電影里面得暴力會(huì)對(duì)我們得孩子產(chǎn)生不良的影響，于是我們敦促政府通過(guò)立法來(lái)保護(hù)未成年人，但是我們這些大人又做得怎么樣呢?我們?yōu)槲覀兊南乱淮龊昧吮砺蕟?我們說(shuō)粗話(huà)，甚至在孩子面前抽煙。不客氣地說(shuō)，我們對(duì)孩子的不良影響更多!

在我看來(lái)，在我們打算改變這個(gè)世界之前，我們最好先改變一下自己。作為一個(gè)普通人，我們其實(shí)沒(méi)有改變這個(gè)世界的能力，但是我可以改變我們隨地扔垃圾，隨地吐痰的壞習(xí)慣， 我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)去保護(hù)環(huán)境，我們應(yīng)該為我們的孩子起好的表率作用。

如果我們每個(gè)人都能從小事起，那么千千萬(wàn)萬(wàn)個(gè)人力量匯聚在一起，那力量是強(qiáng)大的，足以改變這個(gè)世界。

朋友，當(dāng)您在做某一件事情的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)您想一想，您的行為會(huì)對(duì)您周?chē)娜水a(chǎn)生怎樣的影響， 因?yàn)?，您的行為不單單影響到您自己，還有您周?chē)娜?，更重要的是我們的孩?hellip;甚至我們的世界。

2024級(jí) 陳若曦

honorable judges and dear fellow students,

just as most people here,when i first saw the topic reform and opening-up policies,a voice came out,saying what a grand scale!then those big events,such as china"s accession to wto,the launch of shenzhou and the submersion of jiaolong flashed through my mind.however,at this moment i stand on the stage as a member of chinese youth,i"m not gonna draw a magnificent blueprint for you.what i e_actly want is to find out the relation between chinese youth and this era of reform and opening-up.

it is known to all that in the past 40 years,china has captured the opportunity provided by globalization and grown rapidly from nobody to the second-largest economy in the world.in this conte_t,it could be said that we young people have had better resources than ever before.to be more specific,let"s pick up some daily life"s fragments: for e_ample,one sunday morning,you don"t feel like going outside,so you pull out your smartphone and quickly order a takeout on app to comfort your empty stomach.in another case ,there"s been a discount on taobao .after struggling with your equipment and the net speed,you finally got your favorite goods at the best prize,because the most complete supply chain and logistic chain worldwide will solve the remaining work for you,so all you have to do is waiting. not to mention the increasing number of people going abroad,with a chinese passport,they are entitled to travel around the world and come back home safely.

but now i wonder how many of you have realized that this convenience,this sense of security does"t come out of air,surely we could regard it as the product of reform and opening-up policies,nevertheless,do you really understand what are behind those achievements?there is a saying, if you live at ease , that is because there are a great many people who are working for you in silence.they might be the politicians and entrepreneurs who climb into the raging flow to e_plore and promote the system construction of market economy,they might be the intellectuals who devote their lives to prompting the engine of development,and they might be every single person we have access to.

in other words,we youth do not take it for granted,the more resources we possess means the more responsibility we will shoulder.when the 95s were claimed to be the new youth in china and the first millennial stepped into campus,baton of the era has also been approaching.although china is moving firmly towards its goal of rejuvenation ,deficiencies and problems still e_ist.so in this sense,we youth ought to grow stronger to sustain the potentiality of development.with the baton in hands,do not afraid to embrace the mercurial society ,do not afraid to change the future.so that as the new youth we could feel more emboldened to say that facing the reform and opening-up policies we are not only the gainers but also the successors!thank you!

reform and opening-up : dare to embrace the world

good afternoon everyone, my name is jack. it’s my great privilege to stand here and share my own perspective about 40 years’ reform and opening-up.

through the long history of china, reform is easy to witness. some reforms just shifted the rulers’ name yet had little influence on the society. others, however, can be revolutionary and our reform and opening-up policy is one of them.

born in 21st century, it is hard to have the e_act feeling about the life before 1978.luckily, i can grasp some information from my parents and my grandparents.

on a personal note, the most impressive change that has occurred during the 40 years is people’s concept of living, or to be specific, the concept of allocating their salary. for instance, elder people like my grandparents always cut off their monthly budget and then save the surplus money into the bank account. while young adults are more likely to use the remaining salary to do some investment or with the loan if necessary. i did ask my grandparents why not follow suit, they told me it had risks that they didn’t want to take. apparently, we stand in this period and all know that such kind of trade and investment is helpful to the economy ascent. thanks to mr. deng’s policy, we can now dare to trade both domestically and internationally.

beside economy, swift development in other aspects is also prodigious. as you can see, skyscrapers stand in the city and huts are no more. cars take the main avenue and bikes step aside. various travel modes are available for common civilians. imagine, what kind of condition we may live in if the reform and opening-up policy is absent? do you want to live in the condition that was similar to forty years ago. ok, back to the point, when mentioning transportation, you all know what i am going to talk about is our high speed-rail whose both speed and technology top all over the world. dating back to 40 years ago, it is nearly impossible for people to imagine such changes can literally take place. due to the reform and opening-up, i can now jump out of the well and embrace the world. flash as 40 years may be, we indeed witness and e_perience the happiness that the reform and opening-up has brought us.

therefore, as a freshman, it is my duty and also our duty to be e_plicit about our directions and master adequate professional knowledge which will be the basis of our contributions to the community and creating harmonious environment for the ne_t generation. do not be afraid that your contribution may not be considered as innovative as deng _iao pin did, because it is the little parts that you have done that build up the world we live in today.

in the end, i have to say that reform and opening-up is a great fortune for every chinese. owing to the window it opens for us, i can now embrace the world.

that’s all. thank you.

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 te_tures 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(píng)委、女士們、先生們：吉卜林說(shuō)過(guò)，“東方是東方，西方是西方，兩者永不聚!”然而如今，在一個(gè)世紀(jì)之后，東西方相聚了。

它們?cè)谫Q(mào)易中相聚，在教育中相聚，在藝術(shù)中相聚。

有人爭(zhēng)論說(shuō)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(lái)在于東西方世界的創(chuàng)造性的結(jié)合，我們可以變西方的觀念、習(xí)俗、技術(shù)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(jià)值會(huì)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(shuō)了。

有人似乎認(rèn)為彩西方習(xí)俗，比如新娘結(jié)婚穿白色婚紗，是對(duì)外國(guó)介入的屈服，是對(duì)傳統(tǒng)遺產(chǎn)的背叛，因?yàn)榘粗袊?guó)傳統(tǒng)，結(jié)婚新娘要穿紅色，而白色長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)代表的是哀悼。

這些人擔(dān)心一量我們變得全球化，我們也就不在是中國(guó)人了。

我不這樣認(rèn)為。

歷史告訴我們：一個(gè)強(qiáng)大自信的民族學(xué)起外面的世界易如反掌 。

無(wú)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(lái)多姿多采的生活。

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

身為中國(guó)菜的業(yè)余美食家，我喜歡民族的佳肴。

然而我的中國(guó)口味也欣賞異國(guó)的風(fēng)味。

生活中我為簡(jiǎn)便吃麥當(dāng)勞，卻不會(huì)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(ài)京劇，因?yàn)榫﹦∽屛铱傁肫鹱约菏钦l(shuí)。

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

當(dāng)然，異質(zhì)文化的交流遠(yuǎn)不止于食物、音樂(lè)和舞蹈，它深入到價(jià)值觀和世界觀。 有一次老師給我講了一個(gè)中國(guó)男孩和一個(gè)美國(guó)女孩發(fā)生爭(zhēng)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(jiàn)過(guò)草叢中曬太陽(yáng)的小兔。

沒(méi)什么東西比小兔子更可愛(ài)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(mǎn)了渴望和激情，回蕩在空中，小兔子聽(tīng)著這音樂(lè)輕輕搖擺，耳朵轉(zhuǎn)向音樂(lè)，它喜愛(ài)男孩的琴聲。

女孩也取出小提琴，拉出悠揚(yáng)的旋律。

小兔子聽(tīng)了朝她跑去。

兩人都全神貫注于自己的音樂(lè)，絲毫沒(méi)注意對(duì)方演奏的音樂(lè)。

炕雜在一塊的音樂(lè)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(guò)來(lái)，只好放棄，各自走開(kāi)了，扔下小兔子獨(dú)自一人。

然而倘若他們傾聽(tīng)對(duì)方的音樂(lè)，而不是各自為歌，那么結(jié)果會(huì)如何呢?

當(dāng)我聽(tīng)到小提琴聲響起，男男女女走道一起又唱又跳，樂(lè)聲中充滿(mǎn)了歡樂(lè)， 此時(shí)我也聽(tīng)見(jiàn)了草原上、山谷間、小河旁傳來(lái)得我們本民族的音樂(lè)的回聲。

音樂(lè)分你我，還是屬于我們大家?

我想聽(tīng)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(dòng)聽(tīng)音樂(lè)， 只有在和諧中大家才能創(chuàng)造出富有神韻的樂(lè)聲。

在溫暖的陽(yáng)光中，小兔子在等待著我們一起演奏，等待著交響樂(lè)開(kāi)始。

他有必要再永遠(yuǎn)的等下去嗎?決擇在于我們自己。謝謝。

facing this audience on the stage, i have the e_citing feeling of participating in the march of history, for what we are facing today is more than a mere competition or contest. it is an assembly of some of china"s most talented and motivated people, representatives of a younger generation that are preparing themselves for the coming of a new century.

i"m grateful that i"ve been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.

though it is only within my power to tell about my personal e_perience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.

in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.

the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she e_pected a lot from me. but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.

one day before the final e_am, she came up to me and said, "could you please e_plain this to me? i want very much to do better this time. " i started e_plaining, and finished in a hurry. pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly. nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the e_am. and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer. no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldn"t forgive myself. i simply couldn"t forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, "why didn"t you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didn"t you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret?"

i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word "responsibility" and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.

later in my life, i continued to e_perience many failures. but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.

as i grew up, changed and improved by this incident and many other similar ones, i began to perceive the changes taking place around me and to find that society, in a way, was in its formative years like myself. new buildings, new commodities and new fashions appear every day.

new ideas, new information, new technologies. people can talk with each other from any corner of the earth in a matter of seconds. society is becoming more competitive.

words like individuality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts. such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.

such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it. yet in the meantime, many problems still e_ist.

we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting. we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who can"t even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and lu_ury cars.

we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the e_pense of morality and responsibility.

such an era, therefore, determines that we are a generation with a keener sense of competition and efficiency and a greater readiness to think critically and act creatively.

such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems. history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.

standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student. probably i"ll be an ordinary man for the rest of my life. but this doesn"t discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, it"s going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.

standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity. but that doesn"t discourage us any, because we know that the world watches, the world listens, the world is waiting to see where this nation will be heading in a time of rich opportunities and fierce competition.

i can"t ever forget that little girl in my class who couldn"t had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.

it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.

we are not going to evade that responsibility. we are going to let people down. and people, far and near, will hear of us. frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.
