In the north of China, there lies a 6,700-kilometer-long (4,161-mile-long) ancient wall. Now well-known as the Great Wall of China, it starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall of China has become the symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture.
Lots of beautiful legends and stories about the Great Wall took place following along the construction, and since that time these stories have spread around the country. Those that happened during construction are abundant, such as Meng
Jiangnu's story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnu's story is the most famous and widely spread of all the legends about the Great Wall. The story happened during the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC). It tells of how Meng Jiangnu's bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnu's husband Fan Qiliang was caught by federal officials and sent to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu heard nothing from him after his departure, so she set out to look for him. Unfortunately, by the time she reached the great wall, she discovered that her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news, she cried her heart out. Her howl caused the collapse of a part of the Great Wall. This story indicates that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of Chinese commoners.
Another legend about the Jiayuguan Pass tells of a workman named Yi Kaizhan in the Ming Dynasty (1368BC-1644BC) who was proficient in arithmetic. He calculated that it would need 99,999 bricks to build the Jiayuguan Pass. The supervisor did not believe him and said if they miscalculated by even one brick, then all the workmen would be punished to do hard work for three years. After the completion of the project, one brick was left behind the Xiwong city gate. The supervisor was happy at the sight brick and ready to punish them. However Yi Kaizhan said with deliberation that the brick was put there by a supernatural being to fix the wall. A tiny move would cause the collapse of the wall. Therefore the brick was kept there and never moved. It can still be found there today on the tower of the Jiayuguan Pass. In addition to the above-mentioned stories about the construction of the Great Wall, there are also plenty of stories about current scenic spots. A famous one is the legend of the Beacon Tower. This story happened during the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC-711 BC). King You had a queen named Bao Si, who was very pretty. King You liked her very much, however Bao Si never smiled. An official gave a suggestion that setting the beacon tower on fire would frighten the King's subjects, and might make the queen smile. King You liked the idea. The subjects were fooled and Bao Si smiled at the sight of the chaos. Later enemies invaded Western Zhou, King You set the beacon tower on fire to ask for help. No subjects came to help because they had been fooled once before. Thus, King Zhou was killed by the enemy and Western Zhou came to an end.
Beautiful stories and legends about the Great Wall help to keep alive Chinese history and culture. In each dynasty after the building of the Great Wall, many more stories were created and spread.

Since the quality of honesty applies to all behaviors, one cannot refuse toconsider factual information, for example, in an unbiased manner and still claimthat one's knowledge, belief or position is an attempt to be truthful. Such abelie f is clearly a product of one's desires and simply has nothing to dowith the human ability to know. Basing one's positions on what one wants —rather than unbiased evidence gathering — is dishonest even when good intentionscan be cited — after all even Hitler could cite good intentions and intendedglory for a select group of people. Clearly then, an unbiased approach to thetruth is a requirement of honesty.
Because intentions are closely related to fairness and certainly affect thedegree of honesty/dishonesty, there is a wide spread confusion abouthonesty--and a general belief that being dishonest means that one ALWAYScorrectly understands if their behavior is either honest or dishonest.Self-perception of our morality is non-static and volatile. It's often at themoment we refuse to consider other perspectives that there is a clear indicationwe are not pursuing the truth, rather than simply and exclusively at the momentwe can muster up evidence that we are right. Socrates had much to say abouttruth, honesty and morality, and explained that if people really understood thattheir behavior was wrong
then they simply wouldn't do it — by definition. Unfortunately, honesty inthe western tradition has been marginalized to specific instances — perhapsbecause a thorough understanding of honesty collides with ideologies of alltypes. Ideologies and idealism often exaggerate and suppress evidence in orderto support their perspectives —
at the eXPense of the truth. This process erodes the practice andunderstanding of honesty. To an ideologist the truth quite often becomesinsignificant, what matters most are their ideals and what ever supports theirdesires to enjoy and spread those ideals.
Human beings are inherently biased about what they believe to be good dueto individual tastes & backgrounds, but once one understands that adecidedly biased approach to what is true — is inherently dishonest, one canalso understand how idealism and ideology have poorly served the quest for anhonest, moral society. Both honesty and morality require that we base ouropinions about what is good — upon unbiased ideas of what is TRUE — rather thanvice versa (determining what is true based on what we feel is good) — the wayall ideologies would have us believe.

good evening , ladies and gentlemen . i am joy and glad to give you a speech about stress , yes , just the topic you see on the screen.
psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life .
statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life . financial problems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults now suffering . as students in the university , we are also under our special stress . while study , having to take various tests and submit a project against a deadline may put a great pressure on us . and the things make us felt stressed may be our parents’s greater expectations on us than we could reach . later , when we are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us . i think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .
the chief problem we should face to is our atitude towards stress .people usually say they can not live in the sun except they escape from stress . it’s unwelcome ! yes , however , very necessary . just image a world where stress does not exist and people lead their life in a very comfortable way . but is this kind of living condition as perfect as we hope ? without stress , they may feel very satisfied with the current life but lack of power to discover new things . too much result in nothing except a countermarch of the society . no stress , no development . so a certain amount of stress is good . it can stimulate us and increase our level of alertness .
and our answer to stress is another vital problem . how to do with ourselves when stress suddenly break into our life ? to wave the white flag and admit our unability , to give up to our ideality , or worstly , just to suicide as to put an end to everything … of cause not . the principle is to tackle with stress gentlely and harmoniously. we should try our best to release ourselves . such as to do some exercise , to linsen to traditional chinese music or classical music to ease our minds and to learn to view these changes of life as challenges .it’s no use crying over spilt milk . only to accept what has happened can solve the problem .
ok , i think i was under large stress 3 minutes before , but now i am here and have finished my speech . here is the last thing i want to add to my topic ,face to it and overcome it ,stress is also a piece of cake.

Faith is a kind of power that can't be ignored. When you believe in yourself, you will succeed
One day, I found that a black spider made a big net in the backyard between two eaves. The spider will fly? Or, from the eaves to the eaves, the middle one Zhang Yu wide, the first line is how to pull the past? Later, I found the spider walked many detours. From a Yantou, knotted, along the wall, step by step forward to climb, carefully, cocked tail, not to touch the ground wire of gravel or other objects, through clearing, then climbed the opposite eaves height, almost, and then tighten, later also is such.
The spider will not fly, but it can knit in the air. It is diligent, sensitive, silent and tough insect, its sophisticated system and network rules, to spread gossip, as if to get the help of God. Such achievements, reminiscent of those people and some deep Tibet be scanty of words not the dew of the wise. So, I remember the spider can not fly, but it is still the network node in the air. It is caused by persistent.

good afternoon!
recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. the college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. but will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?
the cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. but the cynics are wrong. the college students i see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. we help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. but again, the cynics are wrong. we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. i believe in all my fellow classmates. though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. i believein our future.

Dear classmates:
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! Thank you.

My biggest dreamsWe all have dreams.
Different people have different dreams.
Some people dream of being rich or famous, some people dream of staying young forever.
I also have a lot of dreams.
But my biggest dream is to speak beautiful English.Maybe you will ask me why.
Because I’d like to be a volunteer for the 20xx Olympics.
As a volunteer, I will meet many foreign visitors.
If I can speak beautiful English, I will be able to communicate with them better.
And I will be able to help them learn more about Beijingand learn more about China.To achieve my dream, I’ve made great efforts.
During this Spring Festival, I went to LiYang Crazy English Intensive Training Camp in Guangzhou.
I learned a lot there.
Since I came back home, I’ve kept listening and speaking English on the road, on the bus, in the school and at home.
I believe practice makes perfect.As the proverb says, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
I’m sure my dream will come true in the near future.

Dear xx：
no young man believes he shall ever die. it was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one. there is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. to be young is to be as one of the immortal gods. one half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countletreasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. we make the coming age our own
the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea air which we regard not. others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. as in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-
bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of deat.
