Transcript of the Prime Minister's broadcast on investment

Wherever you look in our country, you can see the result of decades of under-investment.Children still being taught in cramped or prefab classrooms.Patients treated in wards built long before penicillin was discovered.Our railways and roads fall short of the standards we need.And that's not just bad for travellers but bad for our economy.And it's not just the fabric of our country which reveals the signs of this failure to invest.There was a chronic shortage of people, of teachers, doctors, nurses when we came into Government three years ago.Even worse, we found that training places and recruitment had often been cut back.Now I don't go along with those who claim, for example, that we have a third world health service.That's an insult to the dedicated doctors and nurses who work in the NHS.And it also ignores the fact that thousands of people every day get superb treatment and care.But we are now the fourth biggest economy in the world.And few people would claim we have the fourth best public services.I certainly don't.That's because for far too longeven if it meant hard decisions and some unpopularity.We didn't ignore investment in our early years.Indeed we launched the biggest hospital building programme in the history of the health service.The first of these is already open in Carlisle.We invested to make sure that infant class sizes have fallen.Over 10,000 schools have been

re-furbished or repaired.Wherever you live, there'll be a school near you which has benefited.But there is a great deal more to do.And with inflation and interest rates low, billions saved in debt repayments and a record number of people in work, the country can now afford the sustained investment needed in our health service, schools, police and transport systems.It means a 150% increase in investment in public transport investment desperately needed for our roads and railways.Then there's a £1.4 billion increase in health spending on hospitals, clinics and equipment.And extra investment, too, for urgent repairs for 7,000 more schools.But there's little point in having wonderful new schools or hospitals if you don't have the trained staff to go into them.So we're working hard to tackle the shortage of nurses, doctors and teachers.We've reversed, for example, the short-sighted cuts in

nurse training places.We've expanded medical schools and places.We are having some success, too-an increase of nearly 5,000 doctors in the health service in the last three years in the health service.An increase of 10,000 qualified nurses too.And this week we learnt that for the first time in eight years the number of teachers in training has risen.That is vital because it is the dedicated teachers who are delivering the real progress we're seeing in our schools.Good teachers can and do make a massive difference to the lives of the children they teach.Every day, in schools the length and breadth of our country, the hard-work of dedicated teachers give our children the help and encouragement they need to realise their potential.For far too long however, teachers have felt under-valued and under-rewarded.And that's wrong when you think that there can be few jobs more fulfilling, more challenging or more important to our society's future than being a teacher.So this welcome increase in the numbers of teachers in training is a sign that we are beginning to get things right.But there's a lot more that we need to do.I want to see the best and the brightest sign up in their tens of thousands to become teachers, to join that education crusade.We need more teachers just as we need more doctors, more nurses, more modern schools and hospitals.It can't be done overnight.It takes years to build a new hospital or train new doctors.But our hard-won economic stability means we now have the chance at least to plan and invest for the long-term.A chance to end the years of neglect of our public services and deliver the world-class education, health and transport system that this country needs and deserves.It's a chance that we should all take.

ted演讲稿 我们为什么要睡眠英文

简介：一生中，我们有三分之一的时间都在睡眠中度过。关于睡眠，你又了解多少?睡眠专家Russell Foster为我们解答为什么要睡觉，以及睡眠对健康的影响。

What I'd like to do today is talk about one of my favorite subjects, and that is the neuroscience of sleep.Now, there is a sound--(Alarm clock)--aah, it worked--a sound that is desperately, desperately familiar to most of us, and of course it's the sound of the alarm clock.And what that truly ghastly, awful sound does is stop the single most important behavioral experience that we have, and that's sleep.If you're an average sort of person, 36 percent of your life will be spent asleep, which means that if you live to 90, then 32 years will have been spent entirely asleep.Now what that 32 years is telling us is that sleep at some level is important.And yet, for most of us, we don't give sleep a second thought.We throw it away.We really just don't think about sleep.And so what I'd like to do today is change your views, change your ideas and your thoughts about sleep.And the journey that I want to take you on, we need to start by going back in time.“Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber.” Any ideas who said that? Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.Yes, let me give you a few more quotes.“O sleep, O gentle sleep, nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee?” Shakespeare again, from--I won't say it--the Scottish play.(Laughter)From the same time: “Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.” Extremely prophetic, by Thomas Dekker, another Elizabethan dramatist.But if we jump forward 400 years, the tone about sleep changes somewhat.This is from Thomas Edison, from the beginning of the 20th century.“Sleep is a criminal waste of time and a heritage from our cave days.” Bang.(Laughter)And if we also jump into the 1980s, some of you may remember that Margaret Thatcher was reported to have said, “Sleep is for wimps.” And of course the infamous--what was his name?--the infamous Gordon Gekko from “Wall Street” said, “Money never sleeps.”

What do we do in the 20th century about sleep? Well, of course, we use Thomas Edison's light bulb to invade the night, and we occupied the dark, and in the process of this occupation, we've treated sleep as an illness, almost.We've treated it as an enemy.At most now, I suppose, we tolerate the need for sleep, and at worst perhaps many of us think of sleep as an illness that needs some sort of a cure.And our ignorance about sleep is really quite profound.Why is it? Why do we abandon sleep in our thoughts? Well, it's because you don't do anything much while you're asleep, it seems.You don't eat.You don't drink.And you don't have sex.Well, most of us anyway.And so therefore it's--Sorry.It's a complete waste of time, right? Wrong.Actually, sleep is an incredibly important part of our biology, and neuroscientists are beginning to explain why it's so very important.So let's move to the brain.Now, here we have a brain.This is donated by a social scientist, and they said they didn't know what it was, or indeed how to use it, so--(Laughter)Sorry.So I borrowed it.I don't think they noticed.Okay.(Laughter)

The point I'm trying to make is that when you're asleep, this thing doesn't shut down.In fact, some areas of the brain are actually more active during the sleep state than during the wake state.The other thing that's really important about sleep is that it doesn't arise from a single structure within the brain, but is to some extent a network property, and if we flip the brain on its back--I love this little bit of spinal cord here--this bit here is the hypothalamus, and right under there is a whole raft of interesting structures, not least the biological clock.The biological clock tells us when it's good to be up, when it's good to be asleep, and what that structure does is interact with a whole raft of other areas within the hypothalamus，the

lateral

hypothalamus，the ventrolateral preoptic nuclei.All of those combine, and they send projections down to the brain stem here.The brain stem then projects forward and bathes the cortex, this wonderfully wrinkly bit over here, with neurotransmitters that keep us awake and essentially provide us with our consciousness.So sleep arises from a whole raft of different interactions within the brain, and essentially, sleep is turned on and off as a result of a range of

Okay.So where have we got to? We've said that sleep is complicated and it takes 32 years of our life.But what I haven't explained is what sleep is about.So why do we sleep? And it won't surprise any of you that, of course, the scientists, we don't have a consensus.There are dozens of different ideas about why we sleep, and I'm going to outline three of those.The first is sort of the restoration idea, and it's somewhat intuitive.Essentially, all the stuff we've burned up during the day, we restore, we replace, we rebuild during the night.And indeed, as an explanation, it goes back to Aristotle, so that's, what, 2,300 years ago.It's gone in and out of fashion.It's fashionable at the moment because what's been shown is that within the brain, a whole raft of genes have been shown to be turned on only during sleep, and those genes are associated with restoration and metabolic pathways.So there's good evidence for the whole restoration hypothesis.What about energy conservation? Again, perhaps intuitive.You essentially sleep to save calories.Now, when you do the sums, though, it doesn't really pan out.If you compare an individual who has slept at night, or stayed awake and hasn't moved very much, the energy saving of sleeping is about 110 calories a night.Now, that's the equivalent of a hot dog bun.Now, I would say that a hot dog bun is kind of a meager return for such a complicated and demanding behavior as sleep.So I'm less convinced by the energy conservation idea.But the third idea I'm quite attracted to, which is brain processing and memory consolidation.What we know is that, if after you've tried to learn a task, and you sleep-deprive individuals, the ability to learn that task is smashed.It's really hugely attenuated.So sleep and memory consolidation is also very important.However, it's not just the laying down of memory and recalling it.What's turned out to be really exciting is that our ability to come up with novel solutions to complex problems is hugely enhanced by a night of sleep.In fact, it's been estimated to give us a threefold advantage.Sleeping at night enhances our creativity.And what seems to be going on is that, in the brain, those neural connections that are important, those synaptic connections that are important, are linked and strengthened, while those that are less important tend to fade away and be less important.Okay.So we've had three explanations for why we might sleep, and I think the important thing to realize is that the details will vary, and it's probable we sleep for multiple different reasons.But sleep is not an indulgence.It's not some sort of thing that we can take on board rather casually.I think that sleep was once likened to an upgrade from economy to business class, you know, the equiavlent of.It's not even an upgrade from economy to first class.The critical thing to realize is that if you don't sleep, you don't fly.Essentially, you never get there, and what's extraordinary about much of our society these days is that we are desperately sleep-deprived.So let's now look at sleep deprivation.Huge sectors of society are sleep-deprived, and let's look at our sleep-o-meter.So in the 1950s, good data suggests that most of us were getting around about eight hours of sleep a night.Nowadays, we sleep one and a half to two hours less every night, so we're in the six-and-a-half-hours-every-night

league.For teenagers, it's worse, much worse.They need nine hours for full brain performance, and many of them, on a school night, are only getting five hours of sleep.It's simply not enough.If we think about other sectors of society, the aged, if you are aged, then your ability to sleep in a single block is somewhat disrupted, and many sleep, again, less than five hours a night.Shift work.Shift work is extraordinary, perhaps 20 percent of the working population, and the body clock does not shift to the demands of working at night.It's locked onto the same light-dark cycle as the rest of us.So when the poor old shift worker is going home to try and sleep during the day, desperately tired, the body clock is saying, “Wake up.This is the time to be awake.” So the quality of sleep that you get as a night shift worker is usually very poor, again in that sort of five-hour region.And then, of course, tens of millions of people suffer from jet lag.So who here has jet lag? Well, my goodness gracious.Well, thank you very much indeed for not falling asleep, because that's what your brain is craving.One of the things that the brain does is indulge in micro-sleeps, this involuntary falling asleep, and you have essentially no control over it.Now, micro-sleeps can be sort of somewhat embarrassing, but they can also be deadly.It's been estimated that 31 percent of drivers will fall asleep at the wheel at least once in their life, and in the , the statistics are pretty good: 100,000 accidents on the freeway have been associated with tiredness, loss of vigilance, and falling asleep.A hundred thousand a year.It's extraordinary.At another level of terror, we dip into the tragic accidents at Chernobyl and indeed the space shuttle Challenger, which was so tragically lost.And in the investigations that followed those disasters, poor judgment as a result of extended shift work and loss of vigilance and tiredness was attributed to a big chunk of those disasters.So when you're tired, and you lack sleep, you have poor memory, you have poor creativity, you have increased impulsiveness, and you have overall poor judgment.But my friends, it's so much worse than that.(Laughter)

If you are a tired brain, the brain is craving things to wake it up.So drugs, stimulants.Caffeine represents the stimulant of choice across much of the Western world.Much of the day is fueled by caffeine, and if you're a really naughty tired brain, nicotine.And of course, you're fueling the waking state with these stimulants, and then of course it gets to 11 o'clock at night, and the brain says to itself, “Ah, well actually, I need to be asleep fairly shortly.What do we do about that when I'm feeling completely wired?” Well, of course, you then resort to alcohol.Now alcohol, short-term, you know, once or twice, to use to mildly sedate you, can be very useful.It can actually ease the sleep transition.But what you must be so aware of is that alcohol doesn't provide sleep, a biological mimic for sleep.It sedates you.So it actually harms some of the neural proccessing that's going on during memory consolidation and memory recall.So it's a short-term acute measure, but for goodness sake, don't become addicted to alcohol as a way of getting to sleep every night.Another connection between loss of sleep is weight gain.If you sleep around about five hours or less every night, then you have a 50 percent likelihood of being obese.What's the connection here? Well, sleep loss seems to give rise to the release of the hormone ghrelin, the hunger hormone.Ghrelin is released.It gets to the brain.The brain says, “I need carbohydrates,” and what it does is seek out carbohydrates and particularly sugars.So there's a link between tiredness and the metabolic predisposition for weight gain.Stress.Tired people are massively stressed.And one of the things of stress, of course, is loss of memory, which is what I sort of just then had a little lapse of.But stress is so much more.So if you're acutely stressed, not a great problem, but it's sustained stress associated with sleep loss that's the problem.So sustained stress leads to suppressed immunity, and so tired people tend to have higher rates of overall infection, and there's some very good studies showing that shift workers, for example, have higher rates of cancer.Increased levels of stress throw glucose into the circulation.Glucose becomes a dominant part of the vasculature and essentially you become glucose intolerant.Therefore, diabetes 2.Stress increases cardiovascular disease as a result of raising blood pressure.So there's a whole raft of things associated with sleep loss that are more than just a mildly impaired brain, which is where I think most people think that sleep loss resides.So at this point in the talk, this is a nice time to think, well, do you think on the whole I'm getting enough sleep? So a quick show of hands.Who feels that they're getting enough sleep here? Oh.Well, that's pretty impressive.Good.We'll talk more about that later, about what are your tips.So most of us, of course, ask the question, “Well, how do I know whether I'm getting enough sleep?” Well, it's not rocket science.If you need an alarm clock to get you out of bed in the morning, if you are taking a long time to get up, if you need lots of stimulants, if you're grumpy, if you're irritable, if you're told by your work colleagues that you're looking tired and irritable, chances are you are sleep-deprived.Listen to them.Listen to yourself.What do you do? Well--and this is slightly offensive--sleep for dummies: Make your bedroom a haven for sleep.The first critical thing is make it as dark as you possibly can, and also make it slightly cool.Very important.Actually, reduce your amount of light exposure at least half an hour before you go to bed.Light increases levels of alertness and will delay sleep.What's the last thing that most of us do before we go to bed? We stand in a massively lit bathroom looking into the mirror cleaning our teeth.It's the worst thing we can possibly do before we went to sleep.Turn off those mobile phones.Turn off those computers.Turn off all of those things that are also going to excite the brain.Try not to drink caffeine too late in the day, ideally not after lunch.Now, we've set about reducing light exposure before you go to bed, but light exposure in the morning is very good at setting the biological clock to the light-dark cycle.So seek out morning light.Basically, listen to yourself.Wind down.Do those sorts of things that you know are going to ease you off into the honey-heavy dew of slumber.Okay.That's some facts.What about some myths?

Teenagers are lazy.No.Poor things.They have a biological predisposition to go to bed late and get up late, so give them a break.We need eight hours of sleep a night.That's an average.Some people need more.Some people need less.And what you need to do is listen to your body.Do you need that much or do you need more? Simple as that.Old people need less sleep.Not true.The sleep demands of the aged do not go down.Essentially, sleep fragments and becomes less robust, but sleep requirements do not go down.And the fourth myth is, early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.Well that's wrong at so many different levels.(Laughter)There is no, no evidence that getting up early and going to bed early gives you more wealth at all.There's no difference in socioeconomic status.In my experience, the only difference between morning people and evening people is that those people that get up in the morning early are just horribly smug.(Laughter)(Applause)

Okay.So for the last part, the last few minutes, what I want to do is change gears and talk about some really new, breaking areas of neuroscience, which is the association between mental health, mental illness and sleep disruption.We've known for 130 years that in severe mental illness, there is always, always sleep disruption, but it's been largely ignored.In the 1970s, when people started to think about this again, they said, “Yes, well, of course you have sleep disruption in schizophrenia because they're on anti-psychotics.It's the anti-psychotics causing the sleep problems,” ignoring the fact that for a hundred years previously, sleep disruption

had

been

reported

before anti-psychotics.So what's going on? Lots of groups, several groups are studying conditions like depression, schizophrenia and bipolar, and what's going on in terms of sleep disruption.We have a big study which we published last year on schizophrenia, and the data were quite extraordinary.In those individuals with schizophrenia, much of the time, they were awake during the night phase and then they were asleep during the day.Other groups showed no 24-hour patterns whatsoever.Their sleep was absolutely smashed.And some had no ability to regulate their sleep by the light-dark cycle.They were getting up later and later and later and later each night.It was smashed.So what's going on? And the really exciting news is that mental illness and sleep are not simply associated but they are physically linked within the brain.The neural networks that predispose you to normal sleep, give you normal sleep, and those that give you normal mental health are overlapping.And what's the evidence for that? Well, genes that have been shown to be very important in the generation of normal sleep, when mutated, when changed, also predispose individuals to mental health problems.And last year, we published a study which showed that a gene that's been linked to schizophrenia, which, when mutated, also smashes the sleep.So we have evidence of a genuine mechanistic overlap between these two important systems.Other work flowed from these studies.The first was that sleep disruption actually precedes certain types of mental illness, and we've shown that in those young individuals who are at high risk of developing bipolar disorder, they already have a sleep abnormality prior to any clinical diagnosis of bipolar.The other bit of data was that sleep disruption may actually exacerbate, make worse the mental illness state.My colleague Dan Freeman has used a range of agents which have stabilized sleep and reduced levels of paranoia in those individuals by 50 percent.So what have we got? We've got, in these connections, some really exciting things.In terms of the neuroscience, by understanding the neuroscience of these two systems, we're really beginning to understand how both sleep and mental illness are generated and regulated within the brain.The second area is that if we can use sleep and sleep disruption as an early warning signal, then we have the chance of going in.If we know that these individuals are vulnerable, early intervention then becomes possible.And the third, which I think is the most exciting, is that we can think of the sleep centers within the brain as a new therapeutic target.Stabilize sleep in those individuals who are vulnerable, we can certainly make them healthier, but also alleviate some of the appalling symptoms of mental illness.So let me just finish.What I started by saying is take sleep seriously.Our attitudes toward sleep are so very different from a pre-industrial age, when we were almost wrapped in a duvet.We used to understand intuitively the importance of sleep.And this isn't some sort of crystal-waving nonsense.This is a pragmatic response to good health.If you have good sleep, it increases your concentration, attention, decision-making, creativity, social skills, health.If you get sleep, it reduces your mood changes, your stress, your levels of anger, your impulsivity, and your tendency to drink and take drugs.And we finished by saying that an understanding of the neuroscience of sleep is really informing the way we think about some of the causes of mental illness, and indeed is providing us new ways to treat these incredibly debilitating conditions.Jim Butcher, the fantasy writer, said, “Sleep is God.Go worship.” And I can only recommend that you do the same.Thank you for your attention.(Applause)

第三篇：远谷小镇演讲稿

大家好,我是小镇的代理镇长小屋,大家都称我为大腹便便的小屋，下面就由我带领大家溜达溜达我们设想中的远谷小镇，远谷小镇呢是我们谷民的聚集地之一，谷民们非常喜欢来小镇玩，但是要进入我们小镇可不是那么简单的，你穿上我们谷民的特色服装才能进入小镇，当你们从博览园出来之后是一个景观大道，你可以看到一个瀑布景观这个瀑布来头不小，据爷爷说，是一个叫大禹的人引过来的。岩壁上有我们祖祖辈辈们在石壁上刻的岩壁画。经过景观大道就真正进入我们的远谷小镇了。它是一个木石结构的原生态建筑，有2层，依地势建造在半山腰上，1层为美食餐饮，2层是商品零售和娱乐。

小镇定位建筑我不再赘述了，这个就是我们小镇的意向图，诶？这个大草鞋可是我爷爷编的，这是镇上的一大特色哦。小镇中还有很多我的祖辈么留下来的稀奇古怪的东西等你们发现哦。一层美食是半露天的，谷民吃饱喝足之余还喜欢在走廊上看看风景，谈谈恋爱。这个也是我们镇上的一大特色-许愿风铃，谷民们都把愿望祝福写在上面，每当风吹过，风铃响，大家可能注意到屋顶的翼龙像，在我们恐龙谷，翼龙代表风神，他们的愿望就能实现，很准的，我就是许了愿才能当上代理镇长的。

这是我们小镇的总体规划，由美食、商品、娱乐，其中美食包含五湖四海，都是我们外出出差的谷民推荐的，其中精华中的精华就是我们谷民原创的原始火锅，听爷爷说是他爷爷那个时候就传下来的这门手艺还是女娲传下来的，反正我一出生就是这样吃火锅的，用的是原生态器具，石锅、石炉、木叉、木勺等，这些工具都是谷民们自己打造的。二楼零售，商品也是超级多超级吸引人，而且买我们的东西很方便，逛街都不需要自己拎呢，出谷的时候，大家可以凭购买的小票到商场集中领取。而且这么多纪念品，你们很想第一时间送给家人朋友吧，我们还提供邮寄服务，能帮你把礼物最快的送到他们身边。二楼还有以“恐龙家族”为主题的一系列娱乐游戏，挖龙蛋、愤怒的恐龙可只有我们这里才能玩到。而且我们设置了任务制度，谷民只要完成相应的分数，就能获得相应等级的勋章，等级越高么，你们懂的。许愿风铃也在二楼，再加上谷民为了提高身份天天过来做任务，所以我们家二楼的商品销售特别好。

下面是意向图，你们是不是都饿了啊？还有泥人张师傅的手艺可好了，你看他帮隔壁大妈捏的泥人像，真像！

最后是窑洞石板浴的意向图，从我们小镇出去可以直通石板浴，让你们休息的同时能 有别样的感受。

当然，我们恐龙谷还有一片神秘的世外桃源，那是一片真正的净土，下面请我们的谷民小朱来为大家呈现。

第四篇：演讲稿(覃昭远)

尊敬的老师、家长，亲爱的学弟学妹们 大家下午好。

我是华一13届毕业生覃昭远，现就读于北京大学经济学院。今天非常荣幸能够回到母校、在这个有着特殊意义的场合做演讲。

相信此刻，大家都有一个共同的梦想，决胜高考。为了这个目标，我们已经积淀了三年，准备了数月。然而今天是成人礼，在这个特殊的场合，我们需要将目光投放得更远一些，在更大的维度上想一想，高考后的自己究竟要成为一个怎样的人。是成为一个追求自身利益最大化的利己主义者，还是做一名为他人谋福祉的奉献者。是要探求真理、把握世界运行规律，还是浅尝辄止、甘于寻常。今天的我们，需要在穿过象征着成熟与担当的成人门之前，告诉自己，未来应有怎样的能力与修养，应当实现怎样的人生价值，并将其作为我们今后长期追求的理想。这样才不会在高考后的理想真空期中失去方向，才不会在大学乃至之后的学习生活中焦虑与迷茫。

长期以来，成为一个怎样的人似乎只是父母与老师考虑的问题，而我们，只需要关心如何做好每一件应做的事即可。什么是应做的事呢？学习。所以，我们几乎将所有的时间都用来摸索如何掌握一个个知识点，拿下一场场考试，如何取得优异的成绩，如何考入理想的大学，至于自己未来要成为怎样的人，我们大概只有到写作文时才会无关痛痒地分析几段、有口无心地呼喊几句。我们很少思考，不过也是情有可原，高考前的我们拥有的选择的余地实在太少。峡谷中的河流纵有汪洋之志，也只能奔流向前。然而还有一个月，我们就将冲出关口，涌入平原，面对这广阔的天地，我们又将何去何从？

这便是大学的困惑。大学的日子不再被满满当当的课程占据，有很多空余的时间可由你自己支配，而且很多课需要你自己去选，这为你提供了更大的灵活度。学校的讲座也不一定是光谷课程那样的学科拓展，商界领袖的行业讲座、出国求职的经验宣讲也十分常见，甚至往往更加卖座，至于是否参加，全是你自己的事。教授会为你解答学科上的疑惑，却不会替你规划人生；楼长会负责楼道的清理，却不会管你按时作息还是刷夜到凌晨。你可以一如既往地潜心学习，做一位图书馆的常客，也可以积极地参加各类社团活动，甚至翘掉一些课程。没有人会关心你在做什么，除非你触及了成绩的红线。没有人会告诉你该走向哪里，因为他们也不知道哪条路才通往成功。世界在变，成才途径也在变，选择需要你自己去做，选择的后果也得你自己承担。这种情况下，我们很容易浮躁。试问，当你决定刷题，朋友却在社团活动中干得热火朝天，你如何稳住自己的内心。当你为学生工作连续刷夜，别人却已从课本内学到了课本外，你又如何不认为自己是在浪费时间。而且，即便让你去选择，你也会迷茫。此刻的我究竟该做什么事？当下的付出会给未来产生怎样的影响？学术还是学工，这是一个问题，工作还是深造，这也许会令你彻夜难寐。你或许会说，随性而为就好，但是事实告诉我们，社会的竞争不会因为你的延宕而减轻，当他人在奋斗而你在洒脱，未来的痛苦将更加的深重。青春需要奋斗，只是奋斗的方向第一次成为我们的难题。这时，如果我们能站得高一些，不是考虑一定要做什么事，而是牢记一定要做怎样的人，你会顿时感到豁然开朗。

世界瞬息万变，我们能够依靠的只有自己。事情无穷无尽，唯有做人能一以贯之。做事不过是学会做人的手段，只要是朝着自己的人生状态前进，选哪条道路其实并不重要。若是明白自己要成为怎样的人，每条道路我们都能走得坚定而自信。对我而言，我希望成为一个智慧、高尚，且能为国家与人民作出贡献的人才，这是我做人的理想，也是在去年的成人礼上给我自己的答案。而正是这份理想，使我走出了大一上学期的焦虑与迷茫，重归淡定与自信。现在我可以对别人说，我要刷题，因为我想更灵活地掌握知识，从而变得更加智慧。我要参加活动，因为它能使我对奉献的意义有更深的理解，从而变得更加高尚。但我不会为了将来的求职而贪婪地参加活动、谋取头衔，因为人最重要的是个人能力与品行，这才是为国家人民作出贡献、实现人生价值的关键。我常常感觉自己仿佛回到了高三的时候，每天都充满了热情，每一分钟都有意义，虽然未来依旧不可知，但我至少在向着某个方向不断前进。路或许会变，太阳升起的方向却不会改变。只要我们在向理想前行，我们便能感受到光与热，感受到希望与力量。

至于想要成为一个怎样的人，自然是因人而异的事情。但我一直认为，作为优秀的华一学子，我们的理想相比于同龄人应当更长远些，责任也应当更大些。我们华一人的精神是“追求卓越，永争第一”，毕业了的华一学子也无时无刻不在努力地追求着卓越。然而怎样才是卓越，是成为钻石打工仔向老板自信地出售知识吗？还是孤傲地据守在象牙塔中冷眼看世界？我认为都不是。真正的卓越，应当是以天下为己任，用自己的责任唤醒他人的良知，用自己的才智为别人解决时难，用自己不懈的奋斗与奉献，为国家的富强、人民的幸福乃至全人类的福祉贡献出自己的力量。这才是至高的价值，这才是真正卓越的人生。高中三年，华师一特别注重社会实践，就是为了使我们明白，我们的根仍然扎在寻常百姓的生活中，我们幸福应当与千百万人的幸福联系在一起。我们无比幸运，因为他人的奉献让我们走到了今天，那么请让我们努力成为真正的人才，用自己的才智去回馈这个社会，散发出华一人真正的荣光。

最后，祝愿学弟学妹们在高考中取得优异的成绩！在今后的学习生活中牢记今天的理想，坚定前行！

4、做好党风廉政建设工作。要求广大党员干部一切言行都要接受群众监督，自觉当好表率，要认真做好村务公开，将村里的重大事项和财务情况定期在公开栏上进行公开，接受群众监督，增强工作透明度。同时，要成立村务监督委员会，专门对村务进行监督。

2、要努力推进可持续发展战略，促进经济与人口、资源、环境协调发展。坚持计划生育的基本国策，稳定低生育水平，积极推进诚信计生。
