1.Gettysburg Address Abraham Lincoln Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.We are met on a great battle-field of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.2.An Excerpt from Martin Luther King’s I have a Dream Speech I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live up to the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.3.JK Rowling's speech at Harvard The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential.I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged.I was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea.And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable.It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all--in which case, you fail by default.Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations.Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way.I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected;I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above the price of rubies.The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive.You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity.Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.4.King George VI on WWII In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in our history, I send to every household of my peoples, both at home and overseas, this message, spoken with the same depth of feeling for each one of you as if I were able to cross your threshold and speak to you myself.For the second time in the lives of most of us, we are at war.Over and over again, we have tried to find a peaceful way out of the differences between ourselves and those who are now our enemies, but it has been in vain.We have been forced into a conflict, for we are called, with our allies to meet the challenge of a principle which, if it were to prevail, would be fatal to any civilized order in the world.It is a principle which permits a state in the selfish pursuit of power to disregard its treaties and its solemn pledges, which sanctions the use of force or threat of force against the sovereignty and independence of other states.The task will be hard.There may be dark days ahead, and war can no longer be confined to the battlefield, but we can only do the right as we see the right, and reverently commit our cause to God.If one and all we keep resolutely faithful to it, ready for whatever service or sacrifice it may demand, then with God’s help, we shall prevail.5.Robert F.Kennedy on Assassination of MLK Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings.He died in the cause of that effort.In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in.For those of you who are black considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge.We can move in that direction as a country, in greater polarization black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites, filled with hatred toward one another.Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand, and to comprehend, and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand, compassion, and love.For those of you who are black and are tempted to fill with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling.I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man.But we have to make an effort in the United States.We have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these rather difficult times.6.Steve Jobs’ Stanford Commencement

My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky.I found what I loved to do early in life.Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was twenty.We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees.We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned thirty, and then I got fired.How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so, things went well.But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out.When we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at thirty, I was out, and very publicly out.What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.I really didn't know what to do for a few months.I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me.I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley.But something slowly began to dawn on me.I still loved what I did.The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit.I'd been rejected but I was still in love.And so I decided to start over.

第三篇：英語背誦

I threw Mikey’s note into a desk drawer along with dozens of other notes.While my classes took a test, I decided to read all the notes I’d only glanced at before.I made two piles, one for the genuine ones written by mothers, the other for forgeries.The second was the larger pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to lunatic.P3 我把米克的條子連同許多其他學生的一道扔進桌子的抽屜里。在學生們測驗時，我決定讀一讀所有這些原本我只瞥了一眼的請假條。我把它們分成兩堆，一堆是真正由學生母親寫的，另一堆是偽造的。偽造的更多，有一大堆，有些極富想象力，有些則愚不可及。

Eventually, their help wasn’t enough.One morning, a year after Baer’s diagnosis, Henrich checked in before work and found Baer on the floor.Though she wore a panic button on a chain around her neck, she hadn’t used it.10 “I don’t know how long she had been there,” Henrich says.P28

顯然，這些幫助還并不夠。拜爾確診后一年的一個上午，恩里克上班前去看拜爾，發現她倒在地上。盡管她脖子上戴著項圈，上面有緊急按鈕，但她沒按。“我不知道她在地上躺了多久，”恩里克說。

The psychologist they sent him to “was a really cool guy,” Gates recalls.“He gave me books to read after each time, Freud4 stuff, and I really got into psychology theory.”5 After a year of counseling and tests, the counselor reached his conclusion.“You’re going to lose,” he told Mary.“You had better just adjust to it because there’s no use trying to beat him.” Mary was strong-willed and intelligent herself, her husband recalls, “but she came around to accepting that it was useless trying to compete with him.”P71

他們送他去咨詢的心理學家“是一個真的很酷的家伙”，比爾·蓋茨回憶道。“他每次都讓我回家讀一些書，是弗洛伊德的那套玩意，我還真的了解了心理學理論。”過了一年的咨詢和測驗，咨詢師得出結論。“你將是個失敗者，”他告訴瑪麗說，“你還是學會適應吧，因為想征服他是沒有用的。”瑪麗自己也是個堅定、聰穎的人，她的丈夫回憶道，“但她改變了態度，也認為和兒子斗是徒勞的”。

Stress is a major symptom of a complex and fast paced society.These symptoms are, but not limited to depression and anxiety.Medical science has documented the harmful effects of stress on our mental, physical and emotional health.In the information age, the ever increasing change in technology adds to our stress levels.Medical science has provided medications to help treat the symptoms of stress.These medications are important and potentially beneficial, but they are not without their side effects.A less evasive and more satisfying solution to dealing with life's stress is to find a hobby.P94

在一個復雜的、快節奏的社會中，心理壓力是社會的一個主要癥狀。這些癥狀多表現為憂郁和焦慮，可又并非僅限于此。醫學已經證明，壓力對人的心理、體格和情感健康構成諸多不利影響。當今的信息時代，日益加速的科技變革進一步加劇了人們的心理壓力。醫學提供藥品以幫助醫治這些壓力癥狀。這些藥品很重要，又具有潛在的積極作用，但是，這些藥品很難排除副作用。因而，解決生活壓力的一種較為積極主動、而又令人滿意的辦法就是尋求一種愛好。

第五篇：大學英語三級背誦段落

Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas — none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success.No task is too hard.No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult.Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison.Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism.Both were called “slow to learn” and written off as idiots by their teachers.Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions.Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn.Yet both boys' parents believed in them.They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed.In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.個人經歷、教育機會、個人困境，這些都不能阻擋一個全力以赴追求成功的、有著堅強意志的人。任務再苦，準備再長，難度再大，都不能讓他放棄自己的追求。就以本時代最有學問的兩位科學家——阿爾伯特〃愛因斯坦和托馬斯〃愛迪生為例，他們都曾面臨巨大的障礙和極端的批評，都曾被說成“不開竅”，被老師當成笨蛋而放棄。托馬斯〃愛迪生還曾逃學，因為老師嫌他問的問題太多而經常鞭打他。愛因斯坦一直到將近9歲才能流利地說話，學習成績太差，有些人認為他都已經學不好了。然而，這兩個男孩的父母都相信他們。他們堅持不懈地每天和兒子一起努力，孩子們也了解到，要想成功，就絕不要怕付出長期而艱辛的努力。最終，愛因斯坦和愛迪生都擺脫了童年的困擾，進而作出了造福當今全世界的偉大發現。

Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not expend the substantial effort required to achieve it.Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart.The secret of success is based upon a burning inward desire — a robust, fierce will and focus — that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are tired and fail.As a wise saying goes: “It's not how many times you fall down that matters.It's how many times you get back up that makes success!” 很多人只是嘴上說他們想要什么東西，但并不真正地付出大量努力去實現。很多人因為害怕失敗而不敢全心嘗試。而成功的秘訣在于內心燃燒的欲望——一種堅定不移的意志和專注力——從而激發行動的決心，即使疲憊，即使失敗，也會繼續準備，繼續前進。正如一句箴言所說：“你摔倒了多少次并不要緊；你能多少次重新站起來對成功才至關重要。

Audrey felt it was wicked that billions of children were deprived of simple joys and drowned in overwhelming misery.She believed deeply in the ideology that all people share in the duty to care for those in need.Audrey Hepburn was always ready to lead by example.She said: “When you deny childhood, you deny life.” She saw UNICEF's work as an integral, sacred force in people's lives and said of UNICEF's results, “Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist.” 奧黛麗覺得，太多的兒童被剝奪了簡單的快樂而陷入無邊的痛苦之中，這是一種罪惡。她堅信一個理念：所有人都有責任去關心那些需要幫助的人。奧黛麗〃赫本始終都身為表率。她說：“當你放棄童年，你就放棄了生命。”她將聯合國兒童基金會的工作看作人們生活中不可分割、神圣的力量，談到其成果時她說：“任何不相信奇跡的人都不是一個現實主義者。”

The larger lesson, though, is that our thoughts are saturated with the familiar.The brain is a space of near infinite possibility, which means that it spends a lot of time and energy choosing what not to notice.As a result, creativity is traded away for efficiency;we think in finite, literal prose, not symbolic verse.A bit of distance, however, helps loosen the cognitive chains that imprison us, making it easier to mingle the new with the old;the mundane is grasped from a slightly more abstract perspective.According to research, the experience of an exotic culture endows us with a valuable open-mindedness, making it easier to realize that even a trivial thing can have multiple meanings.Consider the act of leaving food on the plate: In China, this is often seen as a compliment, a signal that the host has provided enough to eat.But in America the same act is a subtle insult, an indication that the food wasn't good enough to finish.但更應該知道的是我們的思想被熟悉的東西所充滿。大腦是一個幾乎具有無限可能性的空間，這就意味著它花了大量的時間和精力選擇不去注意什么。因此,我們犧牲創造力來換取效率。我們以字義明確的散文方式思考，而非以具有象征意義的詩歌方式思考。然而，一點的距離就可以幫助我們放松禁錮我們認知的鏈條，使新舊思想的結合更容易，對平淡無奇的事情可從更抽象的角度加以認知。有研究指出，體驗異國文化可以賦予我們寶貴的開放性思維，使我們更容易明白即使是微不足道的事物也可以有多種意義。想一想把食物剩在盤子里這個行為:在中國，這通常被看成是一種贊美，說明主人提供了足夠的食物。但是在美國，同樣的行為卻暗含侮辱，表明食物不夠好，人們不愿意吃完。

Of course, this mental flexibility doesn't come from mere distance, a simple change in latitude and longitude.Instead, this renaissance of creativity appears to be a side effect of difference: We need to change cultures, to experience the disorienting diversity of human traditions.The same facets of foreign travel that are so confusing(Do I tip the waiter? Where is this train taking me?)turn out to have a lasting impact, making us more creative because we're less insular.We're reminded of all that we don't know, which is nearly everything;we're surprised by the constant stream of surprises.Even in this globalized age, we can still be amazed at all the earthly things that weren't included in the Let's Go guidebook and that certainly don't exist back home.當然，這種思維的靈活性不僅僅來自純粹的距離變化，即簡單的經緯度的變化。相反，這種創造力的復興似乎是差異所帶來的副產品: 我們需要處于不同的文化中，體驗人類傳統中紛繁復雜的多樣性。在國外旅行中讓人迷惑的同一個方面的問題（如我該給服務生小費嗎？火車要把我帶到哪里？)，產生了一種持久的影響,使我們更加具有創造性,因為我們不再那么視野狹隘了。我們了解了我們不知道的東西，而這些東西幾乎涵蓋了一切；我們對接連不斷的驚喜感到驚奇。即使在這個全球化的時代，我們仍然會對所有未包括在《旅行指南》中的、平常的東西感到驚奇，而這些東西在自己家中也不存在。

The fact is that Chinese parents do things that seem provocative, unimaginable, even illegal, to opinionated Westerners.Chinese mothers can dispense with formal courtesies and say to an obese child who gorges on food, “Hey fatty, lose some weight.” By contrast, Western parents must be humane, tiptoe around the issue, talk in terms of “health”, and never ever mention the f-word.And still their kids end up in therapy for eating disorders and a negative self-image.I've thought long and hard about how Chinese parents can get away with what they do, and I think there are three ideological differences between Chinese and Western parents.事實是，中國父母的做法，對固執己見的西方人來說，令人憤慨，難以想象，甚至是違法的。中**親可以不客氣地對正在狼吞虎咽的肥胖孩子說:“喂，小胖子，你要減肥了。”與此相反，西方父母必須體諒地、小心翼翼而拐彎抹角地談及“健康”，而且永遠都不會提及“胖”字。結果，孩子還是因為飲食紊亂和消極的自我評價得去求醫問藥。長期以來我一直苦思冥想，中國父母這樣做是如何能夠全身而退的，我認為中西方的父母之間存在三種意識形態上的差異。

Westerners preach respecting the children's individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions, supporting their choices, and providing a positive and nurturing environment.But while Western children may have a high opinion of themselves and glowing self-esteem, how do they perform in the real world? Chinese parents protect their children by armoring them for the future, letting them see what they're capable of, and conferring upon them skills, work habits, and inner confidence that no one can ever take away.When the time comes to perform, Chinese children have a blueprint for success;they know how to compete with the best the world has to offer.The proof is in the pudding!

西方人宣揚尊重孩子的個性，鼓勵他們去追求真正的激情，支持他們的選擇，并提供積極有益的環境。但西方孩子在自視甚高、自尊極強的同時，在現實世界又會表現如何？中國父母如此磨礪子女為將來計，讓其了解自己的所能，并賦予他們技能、工作習慣和內在信心這些沒人能拿走的東西，這樣來對孩子進行保護。到表現時機來臨時，中國孩子已經成竹在胸；他們知道該如何利用自己在這個世界上所能學到的最好的本事去競爭。“布丁”好壞，一試便知！

She turned down three million dollars to pen her autobiography and instead accepted one dollar a year in the more conscientious role as diplomat for UNICEF.For seven months out of each of her last five years, she and Robby left the peace and beauty in their cozy home to embark on outreach trips into some of the most difficult places on earth.From Bangladesh, Sudan, India, Vietnam, Kenya, Ethiopia, Central and South America, to Somalia, Audrey Hepburn traveled representing UNICEF, making over 50 emotionally draining and physically dangerous missions into bleak destinations to raise world awareness of wars and droughts.Having been a victim of war, she understood the blessing of being the beneficiary of food, clothing, and, most of all, hope.別人出三百萬美金請她寫自傳，她拒絕了。但她卻接受了每年一美元的聯合國兒童基金會大使這個更需責任心的角色。在生命的最后五年里，每年她和羅比都有七個月離開他們溫馨居所的靜謐和美麗，啟程外出到地球上最困難的一些地方去。從孟加拉國、蘇丹、印度、越南、肯尼亞、埃塞俄比亞、中南美洲到索馬里，奧黛麗〃赫本代表聯合國兒童基金會四處奔走，承擔了五十多項勞心勞力、危及生命安全的任務，深入到荒涼之地，喚起世界人民對戰爭和旱災的關注。因為自己曾經也是戰爭受害者，她理解得到食品和衣物的援助，尤其是獲得希望，是多大的幸福。

如今，很多年輕人不再選擇“穩定”的工作，他們更愿意自主創業，依靠自己的智慧和奮斗去實現自我價值。青年創業（young entrepreneurship）是未來國家經濟活力的來源，創業者的成功不但會創造財富、增加就業機會、改善大家的生活，從長遠來看，對于國家更是一件好事，創業者正是讓中國經濟升級換代的力量。尤其是在當前，國家鼓勵大眾創業、萬眾創新，在政策上給予中小企業支持，這更加激發了年輕人的創業熱情。

Nowadays, many young people no longer choose “stable” jobs.Instead, they prefer to start their own businesses and realize their self-value through their own wisdom and efforts.Young entrepreneurship is the source of national economic vitality in the future.The success of entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases job opportunities, improves people’s life, but it is also good for the country in the long term.Entrepreneurs are a driving force in upgrading China’s economy.Especially for the time being, our country is encouraging people to start their own businesses and make innovations and giving policy support for medium and small businesses.This further arouses young people's enthusiasm to start their own businesses.水墨畫（ink and wash painting）是中國獨具特色的傳統藝術形式之一，是中國國畫的代表。它大約始于唐代，興盛于宋代和元代，距今已有一千多年的歷史，其間經歷了不斷的發展、提高和完善。水墨畫的創作工具和材料是具有濃厚中國特色的毛筆、宣紙和墨，其作品特點也與此緊密相關。例如，水和墨相互調和，使作品具有干濕濃淡的層次。水墨和宣紙的交融滲透也使畫作善于表現豐富的意象，從而達到獨特的審美效果。水墨畫在中國繪畫史上具有很高的地位，甚至被認為是衡量東方繪畫藝術水平的標準。

Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of Chinese painting.It began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan dynasties.With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced constant development, improvement and perfection.The tools and materials used to create ink and wash painting, i.e.brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings.For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness.The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects.Ink and wash painting holds a high status in the history of Chinese painting, and it is even regarded as the criterion to evaluate the artistic level of Oriental paintings.麗江地處云南省西北部，境內多山。麗江古城坐落在玉龍雪山腳下，是一座風景秀麗的歷史文化名城，也是我國保存完好的少數民族古城之一。麗江古城始建于南宋，距今約有800年的歷史。麗江不僅歷史悠久，而且民族眾多，少數民族人口占全區人口的半數以上。隨著麗江旅游業的發展，到麗江古城觀光游覽的中外游客日益增多。1997年12月，麗江古城申報世界文化遺產獲得成功，填補了中國在世界文化遺產中無歷史文化名城的空白。

Lijiang is a mountainous city in northwest Yunnan Province.The old town of Lijiang, located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is a town of scenic beauty and known for its history and culture.It is also a well-preserved old town with features of ethnic minorities.The construction work of the old town was started from the Southern Song Dynasty about 800 years from now.Not only does Lijiang boast a long history, but also it boasts many ethnic minorities who make up over a half of the total population in the region.With the booming of Lijiang tourism, the old town of Lijiang is receiving a growing number of tourists from home and abroad.In December 1997, the old town succeeded in applying to be named a World Cultural Heritage Site, filling the gap of lacking a noted historical and cultural city in China on the World Cultural Heritage List.中央電視臺春節聯歡晚會（簡稱“春晚”）自1983年開辦以來，已成為中國人文化生活中不可缺少的文化消費品和一個揮之不去的文化符號。雖然眾口難調，但必須承認的是，“春晚”已成為公眾所不可缺少的“新民俗”。春晚不僅是一臺晚會，更是一種儀式與象征，一種文化與標簽，一種情感與寄托。隨著時代發展及新媒體的出現，觀眾的選擇和需求日漸多樣化，“春晚”也在與時俱進，以滿足大眾日益增長的文化需求。

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala(Spring Festival Gala for short), which was started in 1983, has become an indispensable cultural consumer product and a cultural symbol in the cultural life of the Chinese people.Though it's hard to satisfy the tastes of all the people, it has to be admitted that the Spring Festival Gala has become a “new custom” for the public that they can't live without.The Spring Festival Gala is more than a gala;it is a ritual and a symbol, a culture and a label, and an emotion and a place where people entrust their hearts to.With the development of the times and the emerging of new media, the audiences are having more diversified choices and demands.Corresponding, the Spring Festival Gala is also advancing with the times to satisfy the growing cultural needs of the people.
