短文1. Luck and Hard Work运气和努力Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen,I believe that everyone here wants to be successful in life. But how can we succeed?Nowadays,it is generally believed among young people that success comes from luck. They believe it in love, in examinations and even in promotion.But in fact, success depends on knowledge and hard work. You can get whatever you dream of if you work hard enough. Even if you may fail sometimes, you are bound to succeed someday if you stick to your goals. Remember your fate lies in your own hands. Your future also lies in your own hands. As long as you put your heart into your work, you will realize all your dreams.It’s diligence, not good luck that can bring you success in your life and career.Luck doesn't come alone. It goes hand in hand with knowledge and hard work. Shallow men(肤浅的人) believe in luck. Hard work is the first secret of success.短文2. Happiness Is Your Own Choice选择快乐你就快乐Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier, a relative, someone we know a lot, or someone we hardly know. As a result, what we do remember is anything that makes the other happy and anything that makes ourselves unhappy, totally forgetting that there is something happy in our own life.So the best way to destroy happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest flaw. It is the smallest weakpoit that would make us complain. And it is the complaint that leads us to become unhappy.If one chooses to be happy, he will be blessed.Happiness is just what you think will make you happy.短文3.

But most success depends on three factors: diligence, devotion, and perseverance.The first key factor is diligence. Diligence can help us remove ignorance and overcome difficulties .It can make a fool wise ,and a poor man rich .If we are diligent now, we will surely be successful in the future.Devotion, which means the concentration of our mind and effort in doing things, is another key factor to success. Whatever job we are doing ,we must love it and do it heart and soul .Only when we set our minds on the job can we do it well.Furthermore, perseverance is also necessary for any success. If we study or work day after day, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. Without a strong will, on the other hand, we are likelyto give up when we meet difficulties.To conclude, all great men achieve success through diligence, devotion and perseverance .Just as the famous English saying goes, "No pains, no gains."短文5. Making Friends交友Everyone needs friends. One relies on his friends for a lot of help during his lifetime. Friends not only help you through difficulties and hardships but also share your joys .Without friends one feels lonely .In order to make friends one should reach out first instead of just waiting. When you open your heart to others, you will find many people who have goals, tastes and interests, similar to yours. And your circle of friends grows. If one is always concerned about other people and helps them in tough times, they will certainly become his good friends.A good friend is helpful while a bad friend may be harmful. As distance tests a horse's strength, so does time reveal a person's heart. A long-term contact with someone will tell you who is a loyal friend and who is not.短文6. Increasing your enthusiasm 提高你的热情Most men aren’t born great--they become great. Similarly, not everyone is the enthusiastic type that falls in love with their work. However, do not despair, there are ways to become more passionate.One good way to increase your enthusiasm is by reading about successful people. Reading successful stories will help you realize that you too can make things happen.Real success stories often show that people much like yourself have become leaders in every field. In most cases, they all share one trait: enthusiasm.If you want to succeed, you should be excited about your work, your life and your co-workers. It is impossible to succeed without enthusiasm,短文7. Making Choices 选择Throughout our lives, we are faced with choices: choices in schools, in careers, in personal and so on. Sometimes the decision is clear, and we can look ahead optimistically and say," I hope that everything will work out." At other times, the decision is not clear.We go to others for advice, asking those around us, "What would you do if you were in my position?" and we ask ourselves, "What if I did this or did that?"Eventually we make the choice. Some are good choices, and some are bad ones. Some choices bring happiness and satisfaction while others bring regrets: "I wish I hadn't done that." "If I had known better, I would never have done that."Living with a good choice is easy, while living with a bad choice can be difficult .Yet as we evaluate ourselves and our actions each day, each of us has the opportunity to look forward or to look backward, to be optimistic or to be pessimistic.短文8. On Confidence论自信As we all know, "Failure is the mother of success." But I just want to say "Success is the baby of confidence."First of all, confidence makes us happier in our life. Life is like a wonderful song, a bright and colorful painting. If confidence is with us in our life, we will find that life really becomes richer and more interesting.Then, confidence makes us brave and courageous. I f we lack confidence in ourselves, how canwe overcome difficulties we meet with? If we have no confidence in ourselves, how can we succeed in developing ourselves in the future? Without confidence, nothing can be accomplished. That is to say, if you want to win, you have to believe in yourself.Finally, I would like to use the following words as our mutual encouragement: "If you think you can, you can."短文9. Never ,Never Give Up永不放弃We often hear people say,"Never give up."These are encouraging words that give a person determination .A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails .In my opinion, determination to succeed is an important quality 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. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we stick to making an effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted .If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.In short ,it is important that we do not give up when working towards 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 achieving our goals ,but if we keep trying ,there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.短文10. Facing and Solving Problems 面对问题9Life is difficult. Life is sometimes extremely tough.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most people complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or upon their families, their class or their work.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, can cause sadness, loneliness, regret, anger or fear in us. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.短文11.
