Building Bridges for the Future

I’m studying in a city that’s famous for its city walls.All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing[im'pəuziŋ]sight of the city walls, especially when silhouetted [,silu:'et] by the setting sun with gold, shining lines.With old, cracked [kræk] bricks are patched with lichen['laikən]青苔 and the walls are weather-beaten饱经风霜的 guards standing still for centuries in protecting the city.Our ancestors liked to build walls.They built walls in Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes[sneik]蜿蜒 through half our country.They built walls to ward off the enemies['enimi]and evil spirits恶魔.This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public.For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world to me.My perceptionspə'sepʃən] , however, changed after I made a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs ['sʌbə:b] of my city.My classmates and I were walking with some international students.As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked[flæŋk] by tall trees, which formed a huge canopy['kænəpi] 遮篷above our heads.Suddenly an international student asked me, “Where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?”

“We’re already in the eastern suburbs,” I replied.He seemed taken aback, “I thought you Chinese had walls for everything.” His remark set off a heated debate.At one point, he likened['laikən]比拟 our walled cities to “jails”, while I insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls.That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this student.For instance, he told me that some major universities like Oxford['ɔksfəd] and Cambridge ['keimbridʒ]were not surrounded by walls.I have to admit that we do have many walls in China, and as we develop our country, we must look carefully at them and decide whether they are physical or intangible

[in'tændʒəbl]无形的.We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede our development.Let me give another example.A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library.However, the librarian coldly rejected my request to borrow it, saying, “You can’t borrow this book, you’re not a student here.” In the end, I had to spend 200 yuan to buy a copy.Meanwhile, the copy in the law school gathered dust on the shelf.At the beginning of this semester[si'mestə] , I heard that my university had started to think of unifying its libraries and linking them to libraries at other universities, so my experience wouldn’t be repeated.Barriers

would be replaced by bridges.An inter-library loan 借出system would give us access to books from any library.With globalization and China integrated['intigreitid] into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.I know that globalization is a controversial[,kɔntrə'və:ʃəlissue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.But one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to China’s tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine[iɡ'zæmin] their role in the modern world.And how about the ancient walls of mine and other cities? Should we tear them down? Definitely not.My city, like Beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to preserve [pri'zə:v]the walls.These walls attract historians[his'tɔ:riən] , archaeologists [,ɑ:kiə'lɔdʒist], and many schoolchildren who are trying to study our history and cultural heritage['heritidʒ].Walls have become bridges to our past and to the rest of the world.If the ancient builders of these walls were still alive today, they would be proud to see such great changes in the role of their walls.They are now bridges that link East and West, South and North, and all countries of the world.Our cultural heritage will survive globalization.

第四篇：”夏青杯“演讲稿2

各位评委老师：

大家好!我是东庄学校闫丽霞，今天我朗诵的题目是《教师的爱与责任》。

教师的爱与责任

时间过得真快，转眼之间，参加工作已经有10几个年头了，站在讲台上，刚毕业时那种难以掩饰的青涩和腼腆仿佛就在昨日。10几年的时间里，足以改变许多事情，但对教师这一工作的责任感，却由年轻时的火热衍变成了今日的绵长不息，俞久弥新。

常有人说：“你是老师啊!不错呀!一天就那么几节课，动动嘴就行了，风吹不着，雨淋不到的，一年还有寒暑假……”。每次听到这些，我只是微微一笑。我明白，只有从事了教师工作的人才能真正体会到这份工作的辛苦。记得刚参加工作时，一位老教师对我说：“老师吃得是良心饭!”这句朴实的话道出了教师精神的实质。是啊!在这个平凡的世界里，我们需要英雄，但我们更需要千千万万，实实在在，脚踏实地，在平凡的岗位上有责任心的人。

泰戈尔说：“花的事业是甜蜜的，果的事业是珍贵的，让我干叶的事业吧，因为叶总是谦虚地垂着她的绿荫。”是啊，选择了教师，就是选择了叶的事业,就是选择了奉献。每天面对着一群鲜活的生命，叫我们又怎敢懈怠呢? 教师，固然有着别人无法理解的艰辛，但她也同样有着别人无法体会的幸福!世上有很多东西，给予他人时，往往是越分越少，唯有一样东西却是越分越多。那就是爱!教师的爱是春风化雨、润物无声的，付出时，我们没有想到工资，没有想到回报，这就是一种责任的驱使。

冰心有一段话曾激励过无数的人为这个世界默默无闻、无怨无悔地奉献着自己： “爱在左，责任在右，走在生命之路的两旁，随时播撒，随时开花，将这一径长途点缀得花香弥漫，使穿枝拂叶的莘莘学子，踏着荆棘，不觉得痛苦，有泪可流，却觉得幸福。”也许，我不能成为冰心笔下那个随时播撒更能开花的人，但我可以做一颗流星，在孩子们孤单寂寞或是踌躇满志时，偶尔还会想起：在他们的夜空中，曾经有这样一抹光亮陪他们走过一程。

谢谢大家！
