Chen Huijun
We each long to do something great with our life。 But what is
greatness？ How can a person really make an impact on the world
around them？ How can we ex－perience the quality of life？ The
definition of the qual－ity of life may differ from person to person。
The way for people to achieve a quality of life may vary from one
another。
However one thing is certain； the quality of life is measured by
little things。
〃Every day we're called to do small things with great love。〃 Thus
claimed the U。S。 President Gorge W。 Bush in his inaugural speech。
Through touching every little thing； Helen Keller knew the outer
world； and longed for three days to see to emphasize sharply the
values of life。And I still remember my childhood dream was to bee
a millionaire so I could bring about a happy life to my parents。 But
now it seems that by frequent going back home； or a simple phone
call to my family on a very ordinary day or a letter enclosed with a
smiling picture of me makes thern even happier。 How much greater
difference can these little things make than a million yuan。
The so…called little things are merely the causes of great things；
they are the beginning； the embryo； and it is the point of
departure； which generally speaking； decides the whole future of the
quality of life。
To strengthen the relationship with my friends； I always wonder；
how can it really work without our mu－tual understanding and support
by munication。 To show my sincere appreciation for my
teachers'persis－tence in giving the lectures when they are ill； what
can be better than extending a cup of tea to them during the break
or a piece of greeting words。 To fulfill my obligation to society；
I'd like to begin from giving my hands and showing my love to those
in need。
It is by studying the little things that we attain the great art
of having a quality life。 Life is long； but no matter how long it
takes me to go； I should and will cover it little by little and
reach the climax of my life at last； for I believe constant dripping
wears away a stone。
So enjoy your life by doing the little things； for little things
are what inspire great things。
Thank you！
点滴小事品味人生
陈惠军
在漫长的生命过程中，我们每个人都渴望着做一两件伟大的事情。但是什么样的事情才能算伟大呢？一个人的人生价值究竟能有多大呢？我们应如何去体味人生的价值呢？这，我们不得不承认，不同的人对人生价值有着不同的定义，不同的人获取人生价值的途径也不尽相同，但是，有一点却是肯定的：点滴小事体现人生。
美国总统乔治·布什在他的就职演讲中说：每一天，我们都应饱含深情地去做好每一件小事。作家海伦·凯勒只能通过触摸生活中的每一种物品，来感觉和认识这个丰富多彩的外部世界，在她的文章———《假如给我三天光明》中，她是多么渴望能得到光明去充分品味她的人生，哪怕只有三天！可是，这只是她的一个梦想，无法实现的。这使我想起我儿时的梦想：有朝一日自己能成为一个百万富翁，那样我就能让父母过上快乐幸福的生活。但是，现在我发现，经常回家看看自己日益年迈的父母，在很普通的日子给家里打个电话或捎封信回家并附上自己一张面带微笑的照片，也照样甚至更能让他们感觉到幸福和满足。是的，这些小事所起的作用甚至是一百万元钱也做不到的。
事实上，我们所说的小事恰好是那些伟大事情的萌芽和开端，是决定一个有意义人生的旅程和起点。
我时常想，如果没有最为简单的交流沟通和最起码的理解与支持，我们就无法增进朋友之间的情谊；而对于那些有病在身但仍在坚持给学生上课的老师，课间如能为他们端上一杯清茶或递上一张问候的纸条，也能很好地表达出我们对老师的真诚和感激之情；要履行自己对社会的责任和义务，我们不妨从小事做起，从给那些需要帮助的人以援助之手和真爱之心开始。
也只有对点滴小事认真对待，我们才能获得一个真正有意义有价值的人生，因为点滴小事能焕发无穷光芒。路再长，也长不过我们的脚，水滴石穿，绳锯木断，只要我们脚踏实地一步一步向前走，我们定能达到人生的高峰。
让我们的生命从做好每件小事开始吧！因为伟大孕育其中！
谢谢！
The Earth；the only Home for Human beings
Jiang Shengliang
Dear friends；
Good afternoon。 I'm very glad to see you here。 The topic of my
speech is “The Earth； The Only Home For The Human Beings〃。
Do you know that dust storms had swept through North cities
several times this spring？ Dust has enveloped the sun and turned the
sky an eerie yellow。 People haven't found a way to fight against the
dust storms but to be in their homes and offices。 Because a cloud of
loess filled the whole sky； there were many traffic accidents； which
loss in lives and property was beyond our estimates。
We know that China already produces 11 per cent of the world's
greenhouse－gas emissions。 We also know that the Huanghe River once
dried up； the grassland of Inner Mongolia rapidly turns into desert
and there are many cities where the water we live by is lacking。 We
can't forget that more than 4000 people who lived in London had been
killed by thick black smog in the winter of 1952。 We also are aware
that nearly 50；000 species bee extinct and 2。7 million acre lush；
fertile cropland turns into barren land every year in the world。。。
These numbers are so startling； the scenes are too horrible to
look at！
Of course； I am sure； everyone here like the blue sky and white
clouds。 There is no one who dislikes the clean river and verdant
mountains extending a thousand li。 We are eager to have a breath of
fresh air freely。 However； we have to deal with so much endless
noise and breathe the air mixed up with dust。 We have nothing to do
but stride over so many sewage ditches。。。
This is the earth； our only homeland we human live on。 It is the
earth that supplies us with enough food； water and oxygen。 It's also
the earth that supplies us with deep enough atmospheric layer in
order to protect us from the hurt of ultraviolet ray。。。 Although the
earth gives us all that she has； we still hurt her so deeply。 She is
covered all over with cuts and bruises。 She is groaning and shedding
tears。 To our surprise； we human have been conscious that we will
not survive if the earth remains to be hurt； but there is still so
much sever deforestation and damage to the grassland。 We still
waster raw materials； destroy forest for more arable land and don t
save on water…
Wake up； wake up to reality。 We have suffered so many heavy
losses。 Can t we e to realize our error？ We must draw the lesson
from them。 We can t follow the same old road to ruin； and we can t
sit here and watch our only home－the earth turning into another
Loulan。 Today； I stand here and want to call out at the top of my
voice： the development of economy needn t pay the cost of
environment pollution。 Please don t hurt our only home again。
If the earth remains to be destroyed； if the land； water and
atmosphere we lived by remains to be polluted； my dear friends；
where will we go and live？ So improving the environment is to save
us human beings。 Dear friends； let s begin to act now； act from us；
act from trifles。 I believe firmly that the earth will take on a new
look if everyone tries one s best to do it。
My speech is over。 Thank you！

地球，人类惟一的家园
亲爱的朋友：
下午好！很高兴在这儿见到你们。我今天演讲的题目是：地球，人类惟一的家园。
不知大家有没有听说，今年春天沙尘暴已多次席卷了北方的大部分城市。尘土遮天蔽日，人们不得不呆在办公室或家里。黄沙漫天，由此而造成的交通事故及损失更是无法估量。
我们知道现在中国排放出的温室气体已占全世界排放量的11％；我们也知道黄河曾一度断流，内蒙古草原正在急剧沙漠化，各大城市的生活用水也变得越来越紧张；我们不会忘记1952年冬天，伦敦有4000多市民死于一片浓黑的烟雾之中；我们还意识到世界上每年大约有5万种生物正在悄悄绝迹，270万英亩的青草繁茂的草原和肥沃的土地正在变成寸草不生的沙漠……
触目惊心的数字，惨不忍睹的一幕幕，无不让人痛心！
是的，我相信，在座的各位，没有谁不喜欢蓝天白云，没有谁不喜欢清澈见底的河水和绵延不绝翠绿的山脉，更是渴望能在纯净清新的空气中自由自在地呼吸。可是，每天我们不得不面对无休无止的噪音，呼吸着充满灰尘的毒气，小心地走过臭气熏天的污水地带……
这就是地球——我们人类所赖以生存的惟一的家园，是她供给我们生存所需的食物、水和氧气，是她提供给我们大气保护层，以免我们遭受紫外线的伤害……地球，我们惟一的家园默默地献出了她所有的一切，而我们却深深地伤害了她，遍体鳞伤的她正在痛苦地呻吟，正在伤心地流泪。更为可悲的是，我们人类明知伤害了她，明知伤害了她势必带来威胁自身生存的恶果，可是他们还在继续滥伐森林，乱垦草地；他们还不知道退耕还林，节约用水……
醒醒吧，醒醒吧，难道惨痛的代价和血的教训还不能让我们清醒吗？我们不能重蹈历史的覆辙，我们不能让我们惟一的家园——地球重演楼兰的一幕！在这里，我要大声呼吁：经济的发展并不一定要以破坏环境为代价，请不要再伤害我们的家！
如果我们的生存环境再这样恶化下去的话，如果我们赖以生存的土壤、水和空气再这样被污染下去的话，同学们，我们人类将上哪才能找到我们的生存之地呢？所以拯救地球就是拯救我们人类自己，就是拯救我们的未来。同学们，让我们行动起来，从我做起，从小事做起。我坚信，只要人人都伸出手，尽自己所能，我们定会重返那个鸟语花香、莺歌燕舞、生机盎然的美好家园！
我的演讲完了，谢谢大家！
