10、：為保障全球能源安全，我們應(yīng)該樹立和落實(shí)互利合作、多元發(fā)展、協(xié)同保障的新能源安全觀?！?、胡錦濤主席強(qiáng)調(diào)，全球能源安全，關(guān)系各國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)命脈和民生大計(jì)，對(duì)維護(hù)世界和平穩(wěn)定、促進(jìn)各國(guó)共同發(fā)展至關(guān)重要。絕大多數(shù)國(guó)家都不可能離開國(guó)際合作而獲得能源安全保障。4、胡主席說(shuō)，具體而言，應(yīng)該著重在以下三方面進(jìn)行努力。5、一是要加強(qiáng)能源開發(fā)利用的互利合作。6、他說(shuō)： 實(shí)現(xiàn)全球能源安全，必須加強(qiáng)能源出口國(guó)和消費(fèi)國(guó)之間、能源消費(fèi)大國(guó)之間的對(duì)話和合作。7、他敦促國(guó)際社會(huì)應(yīng)該加強(qiáng)政策協(xié)調(diào)，完善國(guó)際能源市場(chǎng)監(jiān)測(cè)和應(yīng)急機(jī)制。8、二是要形成先進(jìn)能源技術(shù)的研發(fā)推廣體系。9、國(guó)際社會(huì)應(yīng)當(dāng)加強(qiáng)在一些關(guān)鍵技術(shù)方面研發(fā)的合作。如：可再

12、安全?！盚ow to Learn with Success.（如何學(xué)有成效）To learn with success is not a very difficult task if some fundamental principles are laid down. While discussing this subject, Id like to mention four indispensable principles: diligence, devotion, constancy, and punctuality.All things can be conquered by dilig

13、ence. It makes the foolish wise, the poor rich, and the humble noble. It produces a wonderful effect. In learning, the work of a diligent fool doubles that of a lazy wit.Devotion means to set our heart on one thing at a time and give up all other thoughts. Never think of learning another subject whi

14、le studying one subject. Those who often change their studies will never succeed in the long run. Therefore, in order to be successful we need devotion.Constancy makes success a certainty. On the other hand, inconstancy often results in failure. If we study day after day, there is nothing that canno

15、t be achieved. We should remember a worthy proverb Constant dropping of water wears away a stone.Besides, there is another rule that contributes to ones accomplishments, that is, punctuality. The habit of keeping regular hours is of extreme importance to successful learning. Work while you work; pla

16、y while you play. Every man will certainly become strong and wise if he does so.如果定下幾條基本的行為準(zhǔn)則，學(xué)有成效并非難事。在討論這個(gè)問(wèn)題時(shí)，我想提到4條必不可少的學(xué)習(xí)準(zhǔn)則：勤奮用功、專心致志、持之以恒、講究準(zhǔn)時(shí)。勤奮可以征服一切。勤奮可以使愚人變聰明，使窮人成為富人，使卑賤者成為高貴者。勤奮產(chǎn)生神奇的效 果。在學(xué)習(xí)上，一個(gè)以勤補(bǔ)拙的人的實(shí)效會(huì)成倍于一個(gè)懶惰的聰明人。專心致志指一次全神貫注于一件事，摒除一切雜念。在學(xué)習(xí)某一科目時(shí)，千萬(wàn)別想起另一門學(xué)科的學(xué)習(xí)。 那些時(shí)常改變學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容的人終究將一事無(wú)成。因此，為了成功

17、需要專心專意學(xué)習(xí)。持之以恒是成功的保證。反之，缺乏恒心常常導(dǎo)致失敗。如果我們?nèi)諒?fù)一日地堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)，就沒有達(dá)不到的目的。我們應(yīng)記住條有價(jià)值的諺語(yǔ)水滴石穿第 頁(yè)5、此外，還有一條幫助人們?nèi)〉贸删偷囊?guī)則，即準(zhǔn)時(shí)。養(yǎng)成按時(shí)的習(xí)慣對(duì)于卓有成效的學(xué)習(xí)極為重要。工作時(shí)工作，游戲時(shí)游戲。如果這樣做了，每個(gè)人都會(huì)變得既強(qiáng)健又聰明。We Need Friends （我們需要朋友）The word, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confidant, a partner,

18、a playmate, an intimate colleague, etc.Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single-handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In modern society, people attach more importance to relations and connections. A man of charisma has many friends. His power lies in hi

19、s ability to give.As life is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and help us out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. Our friends offer us advice with regard to how do deal with various situations. True friends share not only our joys but also our sorrows

20、.With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is sad and unfortunate. I have friends in high positions and friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are relatively poor and without power. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing,

21、 content with a simple life. We all care for each other, love and help each other. We feel we are happiest when we chat and exchange ideas with one another. With my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share.I will never forget my old friends, and Ill keep making new friend

22、s. I will not be cold and indifferent to my poor friends, and I will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.朋友”這個(gè)詞的意義很廣。朋友可以是點(diǎn)頭之交、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、親密的同事等。人人都需要友誼，沒有人能獨(dú)自在人生的海洋中航行。我們給人以幫助，也需要?jiǎng)e人的幫助。在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)， 人們更重視關(guān)系和聯(lián)系。一個(gè)有非凡魅力的人有許多朋友，他的力量在于他的奉獻(xiàn)能力。生活充滿矛盾和斗爭(zhēng)，我們需要朋友的支持，以幫助我們擺脫困境。朋友提醒我們警惕險(xiǎn)灘。朋友

23、主動(dòng)給 我們以忠告，告訴我們?nèi)绾螒?yīng)付各種不同的局勢(shì)。真正的朋友與我們同甘共苦。有了友誼，生活幸福、和諧；沒有友誼，生活變得悲傷、不幸。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友； 有的有錢有權(quán)，有的較窮且無(wú)權(quán)無(wú)勢(shì)。有的和我一樣教書，讀讀寫寫，滿足于簡(jiǎn)樸的生活。我們都互相關(guān)心，互相 愛護(hù)，互相幫助。我們覺得朋友們?cè)谝黄痖e談交流思想時(shí)感到最開心。對(duì)我的朋友們，我知道該珍惜什么，容忍什 么，分享什么。決不會(huì)忘記老朋友，同時(shí)繼續(xù)結(jié)交新朋友。我對(duì)窮朋友絕不冷漠，而是關(guān)心他們，哪怕只是一句安慰的 話。Hard Work Is Good for Health （ 努力工作有利于健康）Scientists find

24、that hard-working prestigious people live longer than average men and women, and that career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate incr

25、eases correspondingly by 2%.第3頁(yè)All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness and solitude. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and solitary when they have nothing to do. Instead, the h

26、appiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. Through work, people come into contact with each other. And through collective activity, they find friendship and warmth

27、. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him liable to disease.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing wh

28、en a doctor successfully operates on a patient, and when a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.1、科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)

29、努力工作的名人比一般人壽命長(zhǎng)，職業(yè)婦女比家庭婦女健康。有證據(jù)表明，失業(yè)者比在業(yè)人 員健康狀況差。調(diào)查表明失業(yè)率每增長(zhǎng)1%,死亡率相應(yīng)增長(zhǎng) 2%。所有這些都表明：工作有利于健康。2、為什么工作對(duì)健康有好處？因?yàn)楣ぷ魇谷嗣β?，讓人不?huì)感到寂寞、孤獨(dú)。研究表明，人們無(wú)事可做時(shí)會(huì)感到不愉快、憂慮、孤獨(dú)。相反，忙于工作的人感到最愉快。許多熱愛事業(yè)、卓有成就的人感到在努力工作時(shí)最幸福。 工作起到人與現(xiàn)實(shí)之間的橋梁作用：通過(guò)工作，人們彼此接觸；通過(guò)集體活動(dòng)，人們得到友誼和溫暖。這有利于健 康。失去工作就是失去一切，它影響人的精神，使人容易患病。3、此外，工作給人以充實(shí)感和成就感。工作使人感到自身價(jià)值和社會(huì)地

30、位。當(dāng)作家寫完書，醫(yī)生成功地給病 人做完手術(shù)，教師看到學(xué)生的成長(zhǎng)，他們的幸福溢于言表。4、由此我們可以得出結(jié)論：工作越多越幸福，也越健康。讓我們努力工作，好好學(xué)習(xí)，過(guò)幸福健康的生活。Sports and Games（體育運(yùn)動(dòng)）What fun it is to jump into a pool or go swimming in a river in summer! How joyful and relaxing it is to have a game of table tennis after a day of study at school! And how exciting it is

31、 to play or watch a close game of basketball or volleyball! All over the world millions of people take part in different kinds of sports. Sports are perhaps the most popular form of relaxation that almost all can enjoy, whether boys or girls, men or women, young or old.Some people seem to think that

32、 sports and games are unimportant things that people do at times when they are not working, instead of going to the cinema, watching TV , listening to the radio, or sleeping. But in fact sports and games can be of great value, especially to people who work with their brains. They should not be treat

33、ed only as amusements.Sports and games build our bodies, prevent us from gaining weights, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only uses. They give us valuable practice in helping the eyes, brain and muscles to work together. In table tennis, the eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and

34、 direction, and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and sends its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where the player wants it to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have

35、had a lot of practice at table tennis can do this successfully. For those who work with their brains, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as selflessness

36、, courage, discipline and love of ones country, but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a childs character as what is learned through experience. The ordinary school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the students time is spent in classes, studyin

37、g lessons. So what the students do in their spare time is of great importance. If each of them learns to go all out for his team and not for himself on the sports field, he wilt later find it natural to work for the good of society and for the good of his country.1、夏天跳進(jìn)池塘或到江河里游泳多么有趣！一天的學(xué)習(xí)之后打一場(chǎng)乒乓球賽多么

38、令人輕松愉快！參加或觀看一場(chǎng)勢(shì)均力敵的籃球賽或排球賽多么令人興奮！全世界千百萬(wàn)人們參加各種各樣的運(yùn)動(dòng)。體育運(yùn)動(dòng)大概是幾乎所有人都喜愛的最普遍的令人松弛的娛樂形式，男女老少都很喜歡體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。2、有些人似乎認(rèn)為體育活動(dòng)不是什么重要的事情，只是人們?cè)诓还ぷ鞯臅r(shí)候，不看電影，不看電視，不聽廣 播，不睡覺時(shí)才去參加的活動(dòng)。其實(shí)，體育運(yùn)動(dòng)很有價(jià)值，特別是對(duì)腦力勞動(dòng)者大有好處。體育運(yùn)動(dòng)不應(yīng)僅僅被當(dāng) 作娛樂活動(dòng)來(lái)對(duì)待。3、體育運(yùn)動(dòng)增強(qiáng)體質(zhì)，防止我們發(fā)胖，使我們保持身體健康。但體育運(yùn)動(dòng)的作用不僅僅限于這些方面。體育 運(yùn)動(dòng)給我們的眼睛、大腦和肌肉以寶貴的鍛煉，促使它們協(xié)同工作。打乒乓球時(shí)，眼睛看到球打過(guò)來(lái)，判斷其

39、速度 和方向，馬上將這個(gè)信息傳給大腦。接著大腦得決定怎么辦，并立即將其命令傳達(dá)給手臂、腿等人體部分的肌肉， 結(jié)果球被擊回到運(yùn)動(dòng)員希望它著落的地方。整個(gè)行動(dòng)必須以最快的速度發(fā)生，只有那些訓(xùn)練有素的人才能成功地完 成。對(duì)那些腦力勞動(dòng)者來(lái)說(shuō)，這樣的技能實(shí)踐特別管用，尤其有益。4、體育運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)性格的培養(yǎng)也很有益處。男孩女孩們?cè)谡n堂上也許對(duì)不自私自利、富有勇氣、遵守紀(jì)律、熱愛 祖國(guó)這樣的美德有所了解，但是從書本上學(xué)到的東西不可能像通過(guò)親身體驗(yàn)了解到的東西一樣對(duì)孩子的品質(zhì)產(chǎn)生深刻的影響。普通的學(xué)校不可能在生活方面給孩子們很多實(shí)用的培養(yǎng)，因?yàn)樗麄兊拇蟛糠謺r(shí)間用于上課，花在學(xué)習(xí)功 課上。所以，學(xué)生們?cè)谡n余時(shí)間所

40、做的事非常重要。如果每個(gè)學(xué)生在球場(chǎng)上學(xué)會(huì)了為自己的球隊(duì)而不是為他自己竭 盡全力，那么他以后會(huì)感到為社會(huì)的利益、為祖國(guó)的利益而工作是理所當(dāng)然的了。How Americans View Love（美國(guó)人的愛情觀）An old song says that love makes the world go around.

Someone may go out with one person this week, and another第5頁(yè)第 頁(yè)第 頁(yè)person the next. After a while, a boy and a girl may decide they want to go steady.

47、度的愛的慶賀日。2、美國(guó)人的愛情和浪漫始于約會(huì)。年輕人有幾種約會(huì)方式。最開始，他們可能是好幾個(gè)男孩和女孩都參加的 集體約會(huì)。之后，他們單獨(dú)出去約會(huì)一一只有一男一女。有時(shí)他們會(huì)去看電影，也可能一起去參加朋友的聚會(huì)，或一起出去吃飯。3、如果兩對(duì)男女一起出去，這叫做雙重約會(huì)。一個(gè)朋友還可能為你和陌生人安排一個(gè)蒙眼約會(huì)那并不是說(shuō)你整個(gè)晚上都緊閉雙目。只是在約會(huì)之前你并不知道你的約會(huì)對(duì)象是誰(shuí)。如果有人請(qǐng)你出去約會(huì)，不管是哪種約 會(huì)，假若你不想去，你都可以禮貌地說(shuō)聲不，謝謝！”4、對(duì)于約會(huì)，美國(guó)人與別的文化國(guó)度的人有不同的看法。美國(guó)的年輕人把約會(huì)看成是玩得開心的時(shí)間，并不 一定就抱著浪漫的念頭。有的人可能

They are the principles, many of them, which I learned at my mothers knee.They point the way to usefulness and happiness in life, to courage and peace in death.If they mean to you

50、what they mean to me, they may perhaps be helpful also to our sons for their guidance and inspiration.Let me state them:I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportun

51、ity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master.I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owesevery man

52、an opportunity to make a living.I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business, or personal affairs.I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.I believe

53、in the sacredness of a promise, that a mans word should be as good as his bond, that character not wealth or power or position is of supreme worth.I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness

54、 consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the individuals highest fulfillment, greatest happiness, and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his will.I believe that love is the greatest t
