They say that when you die your life flashes before your eyes. Will you see any-thing other than a small black box in the corner of your room? What have you changed in th world? What will you leave behind? Or maybe you are surrounded by people all the time.duanwenw. You are the center of attention and everybody loves you. You go out with your friends， partying and having fun， but what about in the morning? You wake up with a severe headache and an upset stomach. What about your death? Do you think it was time to go? You could be the exact opposite. You may want pany， but for whatever reason not have it. Maybe you’re scared or shy. You go home， lock yourself in your room， and sink into anger. Are you an adventurer? Will your love of adventure lead to your end? You can never be quite sure when your heart and spirit will be broken. All your adventures will one day be forgotten and it will all have been for nothing.
Or maybe you played it safe your entire life. You outlived all those others， but what for? You never did anything great; you never made anything of yourself. You’re alone in all your security， but that worth it? You just took up space on th earth. They say that when you die， your life flashes before your eyes. What will you see?
honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
it is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the english language.
about a year and a half ago, i took part in my very first english speech contest. when i stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, i could hardly speak. i stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. my fears had paralyzed me.
while my passion for english has never changed, i lost my courage to speak in public. when my professor again encouraged me to take part in this competition, i said “no.” i couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. he looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. i will never forget his words. “look,” he said, “we all have our fears, and you have yours. you could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. a winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”
i spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. then i made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: i would face my fears –and take part in the competition!
as it turned out, my dear old professor was right. now, here i am, once again standing before a microphone. my heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, i have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!

尊敬的法官，各位来宾，女士们，先生们：
这是一个非常荣幸和高兴地在这个美丽的周六早上与大家分享生活和对英语的热情在这里我的情绪。
大约一年半以前，我在我的第一个英语演讲比赛的一部分。当我在与所有主演在我的眼睛直接站在麦克风，我简直说不出话来。我站在那里，尴尬和无奈，挣扎是徒劳的权利的说法。我担心我已经瘫痪。
虽然我对英语的热情从未改变，我失去了我的勇气在公众场所说话。当老教授鼓励我参加这次比赛，我说：“没有。”我无法忍受另一个痛苦的经历。他看着我的眼睛直说的东西刺穿我的心。我永远不会忘记他的话。“瞧，”他说，“我们都有自己的恐惧，
你有你的。捻你可以在一场篮球比赛中脚踝，但后来害怕再打球。出走永远不能消除你的恐惧，而是行动的意愿。一个胜利者是谁从来不是一个失败，但一个谁决不会退却。“
我花了整整一天，他的曲折和转折词在我的脑海。然后我做了我生命中最勇敢和最明智的决定：我将面对我的恐惧和参与竞争的一部分!
果然，我亲爱的老教授是正确的。现在，我在这里再一次站在了麦克风前。我的心快速跳动，我的嘴巴是干的，但最重要的是，我面对我的恐惧 -这就是差异!
the word wealth always reminds people of money and the sayings or concepts related to money。 for example， “money talks”; “money makes the ghosts turn the mill”; “as birds die for food， so men die for wealth”; “the poor have no friends even though they live in the noisy downtown， while the rich have remote kinsfolk even if they live in the deep mountains”; “poverty chills ambition” “one cent short may put a hero in an awkward situation” etc， etc。。
in the 1980’ s， all shops were state-owned with marked prices。 you couldn’t buy what you wanted with even one cent short， so one cent could indeed embarrass a hero。 a popular song at that time started “i picked up one cent at the roadside， and i handed it over to the policeman…” but now no one cares to pick it up even if it were ten cents。
people’s reverence for money is expressed in varied ways。 the names of companies or stores are often “beer of wealth and honor”， “restaurant of wealth and rank” “store of the aristocrats” “hotel of fame and prestige” etc。 (even some people’s names have the meanings of “full of gold” or “great fortune”)。 at new year’s time， the god of wealth is worshiped and the picture of the god is covered with signs of money。 when a millionaire is walking in the street， people will show their profound respect even though they know very well that they can not get a cent from him。 the english film “the million-pound note” makes a most vivid revelation of this situation。 with the million pound note in hand， the hero has the privilege to buy on credit， or on loan and is even presented money from others。 it’s an idealized end of the story that the hero is still loved by his girl friend even after he lost his million-pound note。 however， without the million-pound note， they couldn’t have known each other。 it’s very difficult for people to make friends directly with beggars。
the song of “all good things must end” in a dream of the red mansions attacks the money worshipers by saying:
“all men long to be immortals
yet silver and gold they prize
and grub for money all their lives
till death seals up their eyes”
but when chen shih-yin tries to expound this song by analyzing the inconstancy of human relationships and the incomprehensible human heart， he has to say:
“while men with gold and silver by the chest
turn beggars， scorned by all and dispossessed”
the conclusion is that it doesn’t work without money。
in spite of the human civilizations over thousands of years， people can not deny the function of money。 this shows how important money is。 money plays a decisive role to individuals， to families and even to countries or nationalities。 otherwise， why is everyone， from doorkeepers to presidents， trying to earn as much as possible? why does every country need chancellors of the exchequer， who keep formulating and revising financial laws and regulations? how different it is to be a creditor nation and a debtor nation! the united states is playing the tyrant just because it is wealthy enough。 a poor man may cherish lofty aspirations， but will probably be beaten because of his poverty。 the afghanistan may have won a lot of sympathy， but how difficult it would be to live solely on charity。
of all ages and in every country， all kinds of corruption stem from money。 no matter how rough the man is， and in what despicable way he earned the money， he can grease the palms of or buy over some very decent officials or even intellectuals。 can you see how crucial a role money is playing? (a case in point is the bankrupt of the company)
some people or organizations like some religious groups claim that they have seen through the human vanity and can take money lightly， but to people’s puzzlement， they are also accumulating money， either to renovate the temples， or to regild buddha’s statues， in whatever pretexts。 they are not engaged in production， so they can only depend on the donations from the devout believers。 sometimes your sincerity relies on whether you donate and how much you donate。 do the monks care about money? the answer is affirmative。 what’s more， many monks are already provided with a salary。
we are living in a material world， and it’s really difficult to deny the function of money or wealth。 we need money for food， clothes， education， hospital， housing and transportation， etc。 there’s rarely anything that doesn’t need money。 what we can discuss now is not the importance of money， but whether money is almighty and whether more wealth can bring us more happiness。
In the matter of courage we all have our limits. There never was a hero who did not have his bounds. I suppose it may be said of Nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.
I have found mine a good many times. Sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. I know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.
I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. I should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. If I attempt to talk across a room I find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods I have part of the audience behind me. You ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.
I'll sit down.
Good morning my friends,
I am a student from class 1 and my name is zou yu ting.I am very glad thatI can have the chance to make a speech before you. The topic of my speech is 'Weneed friendship'.
The word 'friend' has many meanings. It can be a partner, a playmate aswell as a confident. In all, our friends play an important role in ourlives.
Maybe you will ask me 'What is friendship? '.some people say thatfriendship is a ray of sunshine in the dark. Friendship can make you away fromdarkness and can cheer you up at the same time.
Based on this, you may come up with another question 'Why we needfriendship? '.We everyone needs friendship. No one can live alone. As life isfull of difficulties, we need friends to support and help us out. Our friendsgive us warnings against danger. Our friends offer us advice with regard to howto deal with various situations. True friends share not only happiness, but alsosadness.
As an old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend in deed. Fortunately, Ihave a true friend. She is not beautiful but very kind. Every time I met withproblems, she gave me courage and confidence to overcome
difficulties. When I was in low spirits, she told me some funny jokes tocheer me up. When I caught in distress , she rushed to me to lend a helpinghand. All these make it easy to stay with her. But every time when I greatlythanked her, she disappeared in the crowd.
Last but not the least. 'How should we make friends? 'Personally I thinkthe most important thing is to be friendly. Cheerfulness is the basis offriendship. Believe it , smile is an attractive thing. A friendly person alwaysthinks of others. People who refuse to consider others have few friends.
With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Why don’t you treasure ourfriendship? Come on, everyone! Let’s try our best to make friends.
I hope my speech will be successful. That's all. Thank you forlistening.
My fellow and my friends；
Once I read a piece of news report. It says， ＂A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day. His brother， whose age excelled school age， was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother＇s pencil at his side. Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully， his little eyes were winking， and said to his brother seriously， ＂When will it thirty-second， brother？＂ The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile， ＂What are you going to do on that thirty-second？＂ ＂Papa promised me to send me to school，＂ said his younger brother. His brother， the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles. My God！ My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling. They were exhausted. How could they afford my younger brother＇s schooling？ Oh， thirty-second ...
My dear friends， hearing this， didn＇t you feel sorry for them？ We share the same native land， the same blue sky under the sun. Why cannot they be given lesson at school， sitting in the bright and big classroom？ We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country. But now the country＇s fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough. What should we do？ It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.
同胞们，朋友们：
我曾看过这样一则报道：＂某边远山区一个中学生，一天在家复习功课，一旁的已过入学年龄的小弟弟拿他的铅笔在纸上写着、涂着、画着，突然若有所思地仰起小脸，眨巴几下小眼睛，认真地问：＇哥哥，什么时候才到32号呀？＇这位中学生看看天真的小弟弟，笑着逗他：＇32号你要干啥？＇＇爸爸说，到32号才能送我去上学。＇中学生望着可爱的小弟弟，内心针扎般难受：天哪，父母为了供自己上学，整日操劳，身体都累垮了，哪还有能力再送弟弟上学？啊！32号......＂
朋友们，当你听了这个故事，你不感到痛心吗？同在一片故土上，同在一片蓝天下，为什么他们不能坐在宽敞明亮的教室里去读书？我们常说：国家要振兴，教育须先行。而我国的财力、物力都不宽裕，怎么办？这就需要全社会的人齐心协力为国家分忧，为国家出力！
Each person whether rich or poor has his own difficulties, because life is not always full of smiles and flowers. So it is very important to have a correct attitude to face up the difficulties.
Different people have different views on it. Some people just want to evade and they haven’t tried their best, so they can’t achieve success in the end. But some people believe that “Failure is the mother of success”,they are confident and brave when they have difficulties. They choose to face up the difficulties with a smile and try their best to solve their problems. If they have troubles they’ll discuss with their friends or family members.
The right way to face up difficulties is to be confident and brave , Confront difficulties with confident and you will find the difficulties are not so hard as you thought. Try to solve the difficulties with brave and work hard , the difficulties will disappear and you will achieve success finally.
Hemingway often thought of courage as a person's ability to be calm andcontrolled in the face of death.His theme is presented in his novel "For Whomthe Bell Tolls?" the story "The Old Man and the Sea" and in our textbook "ADay's Wait".By misunderstanding a different thermometer the boy thought he wasrunning a high fever and would soon die.But he took his death bravely and waitedquietly for it.The boy showed us he had courage.
I think such a definition ofcourage is far from enough.Courage should not be limited and related only todeath.In ordinary life there are common things that also show a person'scourage.For example,on a bus trip,a thief was trying to steal a girl'spurse.Some people saw it,but kept quiet.They were afraid to be revenged by thethief.The brave stood out and stopped the thief.
Courage means truth andjustice to me.The person in a high position often hear songs in praise ofhim.Some people are sincere.Some are only flattering the superior in their ownfavor.The leader also needs courage to welcome criticism as well as those whohave the courage to criticize him.Such courage may come from mutualunderstanding.I think a man of courage will value truth and justice,and nothesitate in his actions to do what he thinks is right,There is no such word asfear in his dictionary.

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.
According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.
Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus' birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.
If you're middle-aged and your memory's not what it used to be, check thebathroom scale, researchers warned, suggesting overweight people tend to scoremore poorly on tests of memory than their thinner peers do.
The findings suggest that a heavier weight in middle age may mean a higherrisk of dementia later in life.
Reporting in the journal Neurology, the researchers speculated that higherrates of cardiovascular disease or diabetes might help explain the link. Butit's also possible that substances produced by fat cells, such as the hormoneleptin, have direct effects on the brain.
The study compared mental abilities to body mass index (BMI), a
measurement of weight in relation to height used to define overweight andobesity. A BMI of 25 or more indicates overweight, and 30 or more is obese.
The study also investigated the relationships between BMI and cognitivefunction in 2,223 healthy men and women between the ages of 32 and 62 in Francethrough the use of four cognitive tests.
The study found a higher BMI was associated with lower cognitive test scores.Results from a test involving word memory recall show people with a BMI of 20remembered an average of nine out of 16 words, while people with a BMI of 30remembered an average of seven out of 16 words.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, teachers and my fellowfriends.Thetitle of the speech that i‘m going to talk about is on money andhealth.Now asyou see, we have a society where people just concentrate on earningmoney to payoff their mortgage, credit cards, holiday expanses etc, most of themfail tonotice the gradual decline in their health.To them money is much muchmoreimportant than health.As it says, " money is the root of all evil." Iagreewith it.Therefore, it is now time for us to watch out for our healthandtreasure our body! Thank you!
早上好各位来宾，老师，各位朋友。讲话的标题，我要谈论金钱和健康。现在你看，我们有一个社会，人们只集中在以赚钱偿还房屋按揭贷款，信用卡，节假日等大片，其中大部分没有注意他们的健康逐渐下降。对于他们的钱远远比健康更为重要。它说：“金钱是万恶之源。”我同意了。因此，现在是时候了，我们看我们的健康和珍惜自己的身体了!谢谢您!
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call ithard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.Thefault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You mayperhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.Thesetting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as fromthe rich man\'s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I donot see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheeringthoughts,as in a palace.The town\'s poor seem to me often to live the mostindependent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive withoutmisgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but itoften happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonestmeans.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a gardenherb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes orfriends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell yourclothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it. Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best.
We often hear people say, “Never give up.” This can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.
In short, it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Thank you very much!
如果你把你的心脏上没有什么是困难的。没有什么是容易的，如果你不尝试你最好的。
我们经常听到人们说：“永远不要放弃。”这可以鼓励决心的词与词。一个人谁相信他们将继续努力，不管经历多少次失败，达到到他的目标。在我看来，有决心的质量成功是有一个重要的之一。因此，我认为我们应该永不放弃。
原因之一是，如果我们太轻易放弃，就几乎无法完成任何事。这是很平常的我们在我们的一些新的第一次尝试失败了，所以我们不应感到气馁，应该再试一次。此外，如果我们总是放弃当我们失败，我们将无法发展新的技能和成长的人。另外一个原因，我们不应该放弃的是，我们可以从我们的错误中吸取教训，只有我们作出新的努力。如果我们不再试一次，我们吸取的教训是浪费。最后，我们应该永不放弃，因为当我们努力达到我们的目标，我们就会培养出自信，而这种自信将有助于我们在生活的其他领域中获得成功。
大概持续性的最大的例子就是林肯。出生在贫困家庭，林肯面临着他一生的失败。他输八大选，两次经商失败，并遭受了神经衰弱。
他可以放弃很多次 - 但他并没有因为他没有放弃，他成为我国历史上最伟大的总统之一。
林肯是一个冠军，他从来没有放弃过。
总之，这是我们努力追求目标时，不放弃是很重要的。无论我们最终还是没有成功，我们都会学到一些东西，而我们学什么会帮助我们变得更好，更有自信的人。此外，如果我们放弃，我们没有机会实现我们的目标，但如果我们继续努力，总有一个机会，我们会有成功的.非常感谢!
do you think it's possible to control someone's attention? even more than that, what about predicting human behavior? i think those are interesting ideas, if you could. i mean, for me, that would be the perfect superpower, actually kind of an evil way of approaching it. but for myself, in the past, i've spent the last 20 years studying human behavior from a rather unorthodox way: picking pockets. when we think of misdirection, we think of something as looking off to the side, when actually it's often the things that are right in front of us that are the hardest things to see, the things that you look at every day that you're blinded to.
for example, how many of you still have your cell phones on you right now? great. double-check. make sure you still have them on you. i was doing some shopping beforehand. now you've looked at them probably a few times today, but i'm going to ask you a question about them. without looking at your cell phone directly yet, can you remember the icon in the bottom right corner? bring them out, check, and see how accurate you were. how'd you do? show of hands. did we get it?
now that you're done looking at those, close them down, because every phone has something in common. no matter how you organize the icons, you still have a clock on the front. so, without looking at your phone, what time was it? you just looked at your clock, right? it's an interesting idea. now, i'll ask you to take that a step further with a game of trust. close your eyes. i realize i'm asking you to do that while you just heard there's a pickpocket in the room, but close your eyes.
now, you've been watching me for about 30 seconds. with your eyes closed, what am i wearing? make your best guess. what color is my shirt? what color is my tie? now open your eyes. by a show of hands, were you right?
it's interesting, isn't it? some of us are a little bit more perceptive than others. it seems that way. but i have a different theory about that, that model of attention. they have fancy models of attention, posner's trinity model of attention. for me, i like to think of it very simple, like a surveillance system. it's kind of like you have all these fancy sensors, and inside your brain is a little security guard. for me, i like to call him frank. so frank is sitting at a desk. he's got all sorts of cool information in front of him, high-tech equipment, he's got cameras, he's got a little phone that he can pick up, listen to the ears, all these senses, all these perceptions. but attention is what steers your perceptions, is what controls your reality. it's the gateway to the mind. if you don't attend to something, you can't be aware of it. but ironically, you can attend to something without being aware of it. that's why there's the cocktail effect: when you're in a party, you're having conversations with someone, and yet you can recognize your name and you didn't even realize you were listening to that.
now, for my job, i have to play with techniques to exploit this, to play with your attention as a limited resource. so if i could control how you spend your attention, if i could maybe steal your attention through a distraction. now, instead of doing it like misdirection and throwing it off to the side, instead, what i choose to focus on is frank, to be able to play with the frank inside your head, your little security guard, and get you, instead of focusing on your external senses, just to go internal for a second. so if i ask you to access a memory, like, what is that? what just happened? do you have a wallet? do you have an american express in your wallet? and when i do that, your frank turns around. he accesses the file. he has to rewind the tape. and what's interesting is, he can't rewind the tape at the same time that he's trying to process new data.
now, i mean, this sounds like a good theory, but i could talk for a long time and tell you lots of things, and they may be true, a portion of them, but i think it's better if i tried to show that to you here live. so if i come down, i'm going to do a little bit of shopping. just hold still where you are.
hello, how are you? it's lovely to see you. you did a wonderful job onstage. you have a lovely watch that doesn't come off very well. do you have your ring as well? good. just taking inventory. you're like a buffet. it's hard to tell where to start, there's so many great things.
hi, how are you? good to see you.
hi, sir, could you stand up for me, please? just right where you are. oh, you're married. you follow directions well. that's nice to meet you, sir. you don't have a whole lot inside your pockets. anything down by the pocket over here? hopefully so. have a seat. there you go. you're doing well.
hi, sir, how are you? good to see you, sir. you have a ring, a watch. do you have a wallet on you? joe: i don't. apollo robbins: well, we'll find one for you. come on up this way, joe. give joe a round of applause. come on up joe. let's play a game.
(applause)
pardon me.
i don't think i need this clicker anymore. you can have that. thank you very much. i appreciate that.
come on up to the stage, joe. let's play a little game now. do you have anything in your front pockets? joe: money. ar: money. all right, let's try that. can you stand right over this way for me? turn around and, let's see, if i give you something that belongs to me, this is just something i have, a poker chip. hold out your hand for me. watch it kind of closely. now this is a task for you to focus on. now you have your money in your front pocket here? joe: yup. ar: good. i'm not going to actually put my hand in your pocket. i'm not ready for that kind of commitment. one time a guy had a hole in his pocket, and that was rather traumatizing for me. i was looking for his wallet and he gave me his phone number. it was a big miscommunication.
so let's do this simply. squeeze your hand. squeeze it tight. do you feel the poker chip in your hand? joe: i do. ar: would you be surprised if i could take it out of your hand? say yes. joe: very. ar: good. open your hand. thank you very much. i'll cheat if you give me a chance. make it harder for me. just use your hand. grab my wrist, but squeeze, squeeze firm. did you see it go? joe: no. ar: no, it's not here. open your hand. see, while we're focused on the hand, it's sitting on your shoulder right now. go ahead and take it off. now, let's try that again. hold your hand out flat. open it up all the way. put your hand up a little bit higher, but watch it close there, joe. see, if i did it slowly, it'd be back on your shoulder. (laughter) joe, we're going to keep doing this till you catch it. you're going to get it eventually. i have faith in you. squeeze firm. you're human, you're not slow. it's back on your shoulder. you were focused on your hand. that's why you were distracted. while you were watching this, i couldn't quite get your watch off. it was difficult. yet you had something inside your front pocket. do you remember what it was? joe: money. ar: check your pocket. see if it's still there. is it still there? (laughter) oh, that's where it was. go ahead and put it away. we're just shopping. this trick's more about the timing, really. i'm going to try to push it inside your hand. put your other hand on top for me, would you? it's amazingly obvious now, isn't it? it looks a lot like the watch i was wearing, doesn't it?
(laughter) (applause)
joe: that's pretty good. that's pretty good. ar: oh, thanks. but it's only a start. let's try it again, a little bit differently. hold your hands together. put your other hand on top. now if you're watching this little token, this obviously has become a little target. it's like a red herring. if we watch this kind of close, it looks like it goes away. it's not back on your shoulder. it falls out of the air, lands right back in the hand. did you see it go? yeah, it's funny. we've got a little guy. he's union. he works up there all day. if i did it slowly, if it goes straightaway, it lands down by your pocket. i believe is it in this pocket, sir? no, don't reach in your pocket. that's a different show. so -- (squeaking noise) -- that's rather strange. they have shots for that. can i show them what that is? that's rather bizarre. is this yours, sir? i have no idea how that works. we'll just send that over there.
that's great. i need help with this one. step over this way for me. now don't run away. you had something down by your pants pocket. i was checking mine. i couldn't find everything, but i noticed you had something here. can i feel the outside of your pocket for a moment? down here i noticed this. is this something of yours, sir? is this? i have no idea. that's a shrimp.
joe: yeah. i'm saving it for later.
ar: you've entertained all of these people in a wonderful way, better than you know. so we'd love to give you this lovely watch as a gift. (laughter) hopefully it matches his taste. but also, we have a couple of other things, a little bit of cash, and then we have a few other things. these all belong to you, along with a big round of applause from all your friends. (applause)
oe, thank you very much.
(applause)
so, same question i asked you before, but this time you don't have to close your eyes. what am i wearing?
(laughter)
(applause)
attention is a powerful thing. like i said, it shapes your reality. so, i guess i'd like to pose that question to you. if you could control somebody's attention, what would you do with it?
thank you.
this is a glass of water, tasteless, right? however if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter. the same is true with our life the flavor is created by our choices.
if kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.
so my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. if don’t like the taste of your life, changethe ingredients.
three year ago, i weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. like always failing my p.e examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. it was my grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself. she said “ my dear, if you can’t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. so i began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. by choosing to change my outlook on life, i developed the confidence to make a difference and finally i found a totally new world.
not forget, you earnestly to teach the scene not forget, you sent her daughter to ride back to school is not to be forgotten, when the daughter of late in your sad eyes
is not to be forgotten, when the sick daughter on your face can not forget the scenes of fear, the father and daughter is not to be forgotten ... ... if the situation can be life-cycle the next life, i also make your daughter!
so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance areadded to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. and hopefully with my speech included, you will have afantastic speech contest.
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 will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions:
1、do you know what is youth?
2、how do you master your youth?
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance 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 grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
18年的生命中，有着许多美好的经历，初入大学校园，又是另一种生活，同时，作为当代大学生，你的身上肩负着成为我们民族的脊梁，为社会做出巨大的贡献的重任。今天和小编一起来看看这篇演讲稿吧。

在我这18年的生命中，有着许多美好的经历，而大学生活则是其中最难忘的一段。我永远不会忘记刚刚跨进大学校园的那几天：花园一样的校园，热情活跃的学生，特别是那里的学习气氛，给我留下了深刻的印象。

经过了一段艰辛的军事训练后，我完全融入到了学习中。老师的讲课真是棒极了。他们传授给我们的不仅是课本上的知识，还包括其他各种各样的信息。我渴望获得尽可能多的知识，是老师激发起了我这个不能满足的欲望。

坦率地说，一开始我还不能跟上老师的讲课。但是，通过我自己的努力以及老师的指导，我取得了巨大的进步。我从老师的授课和其他许多学术报告中获益匪浅。

学习是个循序渐进、长期的过程，我会在知识的宝库中不断探索，丰富自我。今年暑假，我跨出象牙塔，进入并接触到了真正的社会。一个出版社给了我编辑和校对的兼职工作。

工作初期，同事们都礁不起我。但是，当我在一天之内翻译完7篇（总字数超过5000字）的英语文章后，他们真的是大吃一惊。渐渐地，他们开始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他们认为，我变成了一个有用并值得信赖的好同事。

我也同样意识到，只有那些为别人带来幸福的人才能真正的幸福。因而，我经常参加有关公众福利享业的活动。有一次，我和同学去了一个贫痔的山区村庄。在那里，我们教那些没钱上学的孩子。我向他们展示了一幅宽广、文明的外部世界的画面，但同时我也被那些孩子学习的渴望、他们的真诚和纯洁深深打动了。在我们离开的那一天，我那不争气的眼泪禁不住流了下来。这次珍贵的经历让我们这些未来的教师意识到了自己肩上的责任重大。

除了学习和社会实践，我还经常参加娱乐活动。我每天都锻炼身体，希望保持健康和充满活力。我们还在业余时间写剧本并排练演出。

园生活是最丰富多彩的。但是，不同的人有着不同的选择。大多数的学生珍惜他们的美好时光，并殷切希望将来能出类拔萃。可是，的确有学生无动于衷。他们聚在一起吃喝玩乐，他们忙于追求异性朋友，他们完全忘记了自己作为大学生的使命和祖国对他们的厚望。
Finally,Idohopeeverybodycantrytheirbesttobecomeaworthycitizenofthecountry.Idohopeeverybodycanbecomethebackboneofournationandmakegreatcontributionstosociety!
最后，我希望每个人都能尽努力成为国家的有用人才。我也希望每个人都能成为我们民族的脊梁，为社会做出巨大的贡献!
Do you think it's possible to control someone's attention? Even more than that, what about predicting human behavior? I think those are interesting ideas, if you could. I mean, for me, that would be the perfect superpower, actually kind of an evil way of approaching it. But for myself, in the past, I've spent the last 20 years studying human behavior from a rather unorthodox way: picking pockets. When we think of misdirection, we think of something as looking off to the side, when actually it's often the things that are right in front of us that are the hardest things to see, the things that you look at every day that you're blinded to.
For example, how many of you still have your cell phones on you right now? Great. Double-check. Make sure you still have them on you. I was doing some shopping beforehand. Now you've looked at them probably a few times today, but I'm going to ask you a question about them. Without looking at your cell phone directly yet, can you remember the icon in the bottom right corner? Bring them out, check, and see how accurate you were. How'd you do? Show of hands. Did we get it?
Now that you're done looking at those, close them down, because every phone has something in common. No matter how you organize the icons, you still have a clock on the front. So, without looking at your phone, what time was it? You just looked at your clock, right? It's an interesting idea. Now, I'll ask you to take that a step further with a game of trust. Close your eyes. I realize I'm asking you to do that while you just heard there's a pickpocket in the room, but close your eyes.
Now, you've been watching me for about 30 seconds. With your eyes closed, what am I wearing? Make your best guess. What color is my shirt? What color is my tie? Now open your eyes. By a show of hands, were you right?
It's interesting, isn't it? Some of us are a little bit more perceptive than others. It seems that way. But I have a different theory about that, that model of attention. They have fancy models of attention, Posner's trinity model of attention. For me, I like to think of it very simple, like a surveillance system. It's kind of like you have all these fancy sensors, and inside your brain is a little security guard. For me, I like to call him Frank. So Frank is sitting at a desk. He's got all sorts of cool information in front of him, high-tech equipment, he's got cameras, he's got a little phone that he can pick up, listen to the ears, all these senses, all these perceptions. But attention is what steers your perceptions, is what controls your reality. It's the gateway to the mind. If you don't attend to something, you can't be aware of it. But ironically, you can attend to something without being aware of it. That's why there's the cocktail effect: When you're in a party, you're having conversations with someone, and yet you can recognize your name and you didn't even realize you were listening to that.
Now, for my job, I have to play with techniques to exploit this, to play with your attention as a limited resource. So if I could control how you spend your attention, if I could maybe steal your attention through a distraction. Now, instead of doing it like misdirection and throwing it off to the side, instead, what I choose to focus on is Frank, to be able to play with the Frank inside your head, your little security guard, and get you, instead of focusing on your external senses, just to go internal for a second. So if I ask you to access a memory, like, what is that? What just happened? Do you have a wallet? Do you have an American Express in your wallet? And when I do that, your Frank turns around. He accesses the file. He has to rewind the tape. And what's interesting is, he can't rewind the tape at the same time that he's trying to process new data.
Now, I mean, this sounds like a good theory, but I could talk for a long time and tell you lots of things, and they may be true, a portion of them, but I think it's better if I tried to show that to you here live. So if I come down, I'm going to do a little bit of shopping. Just hold still where you are.
Hello, how are you? It's lovely to see you. You did a wonderful job onstage. You have a lovely watch that doesn't come off very well. Do you have your ring as well? Good. Just taking inventory. You're like a buffet. It's hard to tell where to start, there's so many great things.
Hi, how are you? Good to see you.
Hi, sir, could you stand up for me, please? Just right where you are. Oh, you're married. You follow directions well. That's nice to meet you, sir. You don't have a whole lot inside your pockets. Anything down by the pocket over here? Hopefully so. Have a seat. There you go. You're doing well.
in the matter of courage we all have our limits. there never was a hero whodid not have his bounds. i suppose it may be said of nelson and all the otherswhose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives whentheir bravery knew it had come to its limit.
i have found mine a good many times. sometimes this was expected--often itwas unexpected. i know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, butyou could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.
i never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. i should be atthe end of the room facing all the audience. if i attempt to talk across a roomi find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods i havepart of the audience behind me. you ought never to have any part of the audiencebehind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.
i'll sit down.

在勇气问题上，人人都有极限。从来就没有胆大包天的英雄好汉。我想，可以说，纳尔逊和所有那些被大量宣传的勇士，一生中都有勇气达到极限的时候。
我就多次发现自己的勇气到了极限。有时是意料之中的——经常是出乎意料的。我认识一个人.此君不怕与响尾蛇同寝，可你无法让他与保安剃刀共眠。
我从来就没有勇气在狭长房间的中央发表讲话。我得站在房间的一头，面对全体听众。如果我试图站在房间中央讲话，我就会不断地转身，这样，就不断有部分听众在我背后。你们永远不能让自己背后有听众;你们永远闹不清他们要干什么。
我得坐下了。
Safety is very important. We often hear people say “safety first”. As a middle school student, we should learn to protect ourselves from every possible danger. Here are some things I do. I hope you can follow them.On your way to school and home. You should obey the traffic rules. You should walk on the right side of the road. Don't ride your bike too fast.During school, you can't fight with each other. Don't play with fire. Don't bring knife to school. Don't go out of school without your teacher's permission.In public places or campus, enough water plugs,extinguishing agents and emergency outlets should be set and prepared for unforeseen circumstances.Above all,a series of precautions must be taken to guarantee the students' safety. Let's make the campus safe through our long-term unremitting efforts. 安全是非常重要的。
我们经常听到人们说“安全第一”。 作为一个中学生，我们应该学会保护自己免受一切可能的危险。
这里有一些我做的事情。 我希望你能跟随他们。
在你去学校和家的路上。 你应该遵守交通规则。
你应该走在路的右边。 不要骑自行车太快。
在学校期间，你不能与对方斗争。 不要玩火。
不要把刀带到学校。 未经你的老师许可，不要出校。
在公共场所或校园，应为不可预见的情况设置和准备足够的水塞，灭火剂和紧急出口。最重要的是，必须采取一系列预防措施，以保证学生的安全。
让我们通过长期不懈的努力使校园安全。

i taught you how to do so many things… to eat well, to dress well… toconfront life…
when at some moment i lose the memory or the thread of our conversation…let me have the necessary time to remember… and if i cannot do it;do not becomenervous… as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to bewith you and to have you listening to me…
if ever i do not want to eat, do not force me. i know well when i need toand when not.

My dear friends,
Should smoking be banned?
Different people have different opinions. Somesmokers think smoking is a kind of enjoyment, andthey could live without food but will die withoutsmoking. Also they said they have freedom ofsmoking and it has nothingto do with others.However a lot of non-smokers don't agree. In theiropinion, smoking is harmful to not onlysmokersthemselves but also public health especially thewoman and children. Therefore, many coutries have worked out lots to forbid smoking in publicplaces, such as cinemas, hospitals, stations etc. Nowadays, smokersmake up one quarter of theworld's population. If the problem of smoking is not dealt with seriously, human health will bein danger. So smoking should be banned in no time.
ladies and gentlemen，Good morning！
I am very glad to be here to give you a short speech.
A person's life is a process of growing up, in fact, I am standing here is also a growth. If a person's life has to face different choices, then I grow up with these choices. I had hoped to go to college in the future, but that was over, and now I am here to know what my future will be like.
When I came to this school, I told myself that I was going to start from here in the near future. Then I want to learn how to behave, how to be a honest man, and have a healthy body, can take on important task, can the independent thinking, open-minded, sophisticated, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a good job.
My teacher once told me, "you are not repairing but creating; Never forget that what you show to people is your thought, not your craft. I will integrate my personality, hobbies and abilities into my study. In the process, I learned and practiced. If I can achieve this "future", I think I really grow up. And I am convinced that my family, good friends and love will make my future perfect and happy.
How to explain the future? Maybe it's just a good wish. Let's make up our minds and stick to it, and we'll have a wonderful life.
Hello everyone!I'm so pround that I stand here to make a speech.Today my topic is "defeat".
According to The New Oxford Dictionary of English,frustration,bydefinition,means the feeling of being upset or annoyed,especially because ofinability to change or achieve something.Since frustration seems to be anegative feeling,some people may be tempted to think that frustration is bad forpeople.They believe that constant frustration may cause serious mentalproblems.People suffering from such psychological problems often resort toviolence or suicide,which poses a big threat to the people around them and thuscauses instability to the whole society.
Others,however,hold a different view.They maintain that it is beneficial topeople.It goes side by side with success.It inspires people to overcomehardships and difficulties and achieve the final success.People with this vieweven go so far as to say that no frustration,no success.Indeed,we cannot alwayshope to embrace success and never accept failure.And most importantly,only if welearn from many a failure can we do things better and finally overcome such abad feeling as frustration.
Frustration thus is part of our life experience.In our process of growingup,we may inevitably experience it when confronted with situations that don’tcome up to our expectations.It is a test of our courage when it befalls us.If welet it control us,we may fall into the abyss of being inflicted by seriouspsychological problems.But if we harness it and take it as our source ofinspiration,we may ultimately enjoy the glory of success.
Thank you for your listening!
ladies and gentlemen,
i have had a lot of teachers in my school who have given me much help in my study. for their help i will never forget them. but today i am going to talk about a special teacher of mine. this teacher is not a human being and its name is“computer”. it has been teaching me a lot of knowledge and i appreciate it very much.
with the development of modern science and technology, computers are widely used in every teritories including education. how can a computer be my teacher? how does a computer teach me? multimedia(多媒体)helps a lot in this aspect in recent years, and computer-based training (cbt) has become a popular educational medium (手段). even before the multimedia come up, many different learning systems appeared, using the components and techniques we now associate with the term “multimedia”. multimedia components, such as graphics (动画) , animations , sound and video, make the learning process easier through visualization. animations can present many comple_ subjects dynamically, but human teachers can not do this on blackboards. multimedia makes our study more lively and interesting. for e_ample, a cd-rom disk named “encarta encyclopedia” contains 650 mb information including images, graphics, music clips, video clips, animations , te_ts, hotwords, and database search functions. fields involved includes physical
sciences, performance arts, social sciences, politics, military, education and so on. when pressing a button, i can hear american president clinton's speech clip. i may enjoy playing all kinds of musical instruments in the world. i can also see the animation of many physical phenomena. this makes physical concept to be understood deeply. the audio features of multimedia can greatly help me learning foreign languages. with its speech output capabilities, i'm no longer dependent on an instructor for proper pronunciation.
how can i interact with a computer? there are many ways, including keyboard, mouse pointer, and touch screen. i often use a keyboard. when i press right keys, i can see and hear whatever i want. information world is at my fingertip. i wish that true speech input-output system would be invented one day.
as teachers, computers have a lot of virtues： they are positive, they have good memories and never lose any information stored in them. they have much knowledge in every field. they can let out all kinds of sounds, and can also improve the efficiency of our study. for e_ample, if i want to, i can skip some chapters so that i can study at my own pace.
although computers will never take the place of human teachers, they are welcomed by more and more learners. computers will continue to evolve(发展)with the aid of modern technologies. computers are so powerful, helpful and important that everybody needs it, especially in the future! i love my computer teacher!
The superstar in my heart is Kobe Bryant. He is one of the best basketball players in NBA. Recently, in 20__ NBA ALL STAR, he and O’neal both became the “MVP”. I think he is the best basketball player in NBA. He is also very handsome. I like Kobe’s basketball style, and I also learn a lot of basketball skills from Kobe. It may help me with my basketball skills more wonderful . Kobe, my superstar.
Jay Chou is the superstar in my heart. It is because he is a clever man who can not only sing but also create the songs. His voice sounds beautiful enough for me to rela_ my body. I can learn a lot things from him. For e_ample, I should get along with my parents like him. It is important to be a good son. So I love Jay Chou.
Avril Lavigne is the superstar in my heart. She’ one of the most popular singers in the world. I’m just a person who likes her very much. I first saw her on TV while she was singing. Her voice deeply attracted me. From the internet I know that She went to America from Canada by herself at si_teen. No sooner, she became a famous singer .I learn that nothing is impossible if you have a great dream from her story.
In my heart, I always think that my mum is my superstar.Although she is not very beautiful, I still love her very much.I learn a lot of things from her.She often sitted behind me when I was doing my homework.She collectes me from school everyday.While she got angry with me ,I kne w that I made mum sad.I love her because she is my only star.I always try my best to make her happy.It’s my job.I believe it!
Kobe is the superstar in my heart. Kobe is a basketball player in NBA. L think he is one of the greatest basketball players in the world. He is a leader in Lakers. Lakers is the best team in NBA. Kobe plays basketball hard all the time in order to win the matches. L can learn his hard-working and his helpful. L love Kobe forever.
David Beckham is the superstar in my heart. He is thirty-four now. He is a gentleman who was born in London. Almost everyone in Britain knows him. He is a football player who plays football in England. Although he is famous, he is still hard-working . He is famous for his beautiful wife and football skills. But he is never proud of these. He works as hard as other football players. This is the reason I love him. I think I should learn this spirit from him,and be hard-woring at anytime.
Computers play an important role in the modern world. Today they are used in many areas of human activities, such as business, industry, science and education. I'm a primary school student. I always search for information on my PC, make PPT or type article with word software and sometimes listen to music, play games on the computer in the weekends. Sometimes I write e-mails to my friends on the computer, too. I often chat with people on-line. I usually do my homework on the computer, too, it's very easy.
I also enjoying watching cartoons on-line, because I can find my favorite cartoons easily, when I watching TV, I should wait the advertisement and watch the cartoons on time. But in computer, I can watch my favorite cartoons any time, and needn't wait for advertisements.I seldom buy things on the computer, because I don't know it. I sometimes go to the forums on the weekends, there are many people, and it's very interesting.
How about you, my friend?
电脑扮演着重要的角色在现代世界。今天他们被用在许多领域的人类活动,如商业、工业、科学和教育。我是一个小学学生。我总是在我的电脑搜索信息,制作PPT或类型的文章与词软件,有时听音乐,玩游戏在电脑上在周末。有时我在电脑上写电子邮件给我的朋友,。我经常与人在线聊天。我通常在电脑上做作业,也很简单。
我也喜欢看漫画在线,因为我可以很容易找到我最喜欢的漫画,我看电视的时候,我应该等待广告和看漫画。但在电脑,我可以随时看我最喜欢的漫画,不必等待广告。我很少在电脑上买东西,因为我不知道。在周末我有时去论坛,有很多人,很有趣。
你呢,我的朋友?
I heard a word"Don`t give , just be you.Because life`s too short tobeanybody else."I think what this word express is so yeah,so I wanna you tomemorize it.
Everyone has a beautiful dream and personal life principle.but on the waythat we hunt for the keys of acheving our dreams,there are many difficultiesappearing,thus,several timid men give in to them,one after another,some peaplelost their first dreams and even themselves.So!Many characters and pretty orhandsome stars around us,we are obesessed with some of those,and even ad occeanof peaple volunteer to imitate those idols.However,as we turn back,we will findin surprise,the tree is still the old tree,the house is still,......theeverything is still the same.We didn`t change them a little.
The same as our competitions,teachers always say:"You`d better read moreessays and memorize some perfect or wonderful sentenses,it`s helpful for yourwriting level."Well!I don`t think so! Personally,I feel we must keep on ourstyles and priciple,due to this,when readers read our essays,they might learnabout us better,therefore we will become happier to make the life colorful andmeaningful.So,I support that we read more books,rather than recite moreessays.
Being true to yourself implies if you are delighted,then you laugh,if youare sad,then you cry,don`t hide your mood,do not be hypocritical.Go on yourdream which is deep in your hear. You can`t become the other like magic,becausethere is no such thing as magic in the wold,OK!Let`s stand in front of themirror,carefully look at ourselves.Say:Calm down.Don`t get anything to botheryour heart,just be true to yourself.

"Children over 15 should be allowed to make decisions about their lives without the interference of their parents or teachers. Society should accept that children mature at a younger age and should adjust the law accordingly."
The fact that we are not able to determine the exact moment at which maturity is realized due to the gradual changing nature of the growing process does not prevent us from establishing a practicable criterion by using the concept of a legal age, and placing on it an excessive amount of reliance as if it were a creed.Objectively, since the interpretation of maturity merely bears a local, temporary meaning (e. g. , it is understood distinctly in different cultures), not to mention the diversity of particular individuals, clearly an age criterion is definable only in the sense of statistics, yielding an average result of which the legislation should be adjusted to. However, no evidence indicates the invariance of the statistical result under the vicissitudes of the times.
Persisting in an a priori assumption may not be as highly laudable and dependable as believing in an empirical conclusion.While, both facts and analyses, verifying uniformly the time-dependency of the statistical mature age, suggests the shift to a younger age of children‘s maturity.
In reality, phenomena serving as foundations of the above statement are enormous, such as the manifest superiority of the young in knowledge structure and quantity to their elder generation for a corresponding age, their highly developed intelligence and advanced ability in comprehension and their sophisticated behavior in schools and their communities. Neither could all related evidence be listed, nor should it be ignored. Even with a phcnomenological attitude, one is bound to perceive the indispensability of a change to the old rule to meet the requirement of the new situation.
Analyses yield an identical verdict. A brief investigation of new situation.
Analyses yield an identical verdict. A brief investigation of the environment in which the new generation has been brought up is sufficient to justify all the observed phenomena. Physiologically, unimaginable revolutions in food supply and nutritional structure took place globally after the 2nd World War, which,together with other developments concerning living conditions,guarantee the necessary material bases. Psychologically, the young, confronted with a world of information and education,are entitled to nearly the same rights and freedom as the adults in front of the television or other mass media. They know everything. They understand everything.
The determination of the mature age is based on scientific principles rather than on doctrines. If the young, indeed, possess judgments by no means inferior to that of the generally acknowledged adults, others should treat them as adults, allowing them to make decisions independently. Moreover, there is no difficulty in the law, which is not the truth of the universe, but a sheer compromise of social forces, and have undergone innumerable historical modifications and revolutions with a potential
transformation today.
Though the precise new legal mature age is only attainable through statistics, the obvious tendency implies an absolute modification. With an unknown date of realization, it is expected that teachers and parents should discard the traditional ideas and really treat the young equally when the time comes.
