there is a saying goes,“life without a friend is a life without a sun”,that isto say,friendship is indispensable to peoples life.
friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher. when you are happy friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade; when you are sad friendship is a dose of consolation; if you are in trouble friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you; if you have a hard nut to crack you can turn to friends for help.
every one need friends and if you fail to make friends you should e_amine yourself and see if there is something wrong with your personality. maybe you have social faults such snobbishness talkativeness and using slang etc. all of that will drive your new acquaintances. whatever your social faults may be look at them honestly and make real effort to correct them.
however what’s actual difficult is that friendship is easier made than kept.there are several important elements necessary to maintain a good friendship.
listen .the ability to really listen to another is a cornerstone of good friendship.it helps you to understand your friend and his/her feelingsas well as shows that you really care.
spend quality time with your friend .no relationship can be satisfying without quality time spend together.make time for your friendschedule get together.
in short when we have established friendship we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds. only thus can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.
有句谚语说,“人生没有了朋友就犹如失去了阳光”这也就是说,友谊对人的生活是不可缺少的。
友谊是我们的生活中的调味品。当你快乐的时候,友谊就像是盛开的鲜花,展现在你面前,当你可悲时,友谊是一剂安慰;如果您遇到了麻烦,朋友们将会出现并帮你解除困难,如果你有一个难办的事,您可以找朋友获得帮助。
每个人都需要朋友,如果你不能交到朋友,就该反省自己,看是否的你的个性有什么问题。或许你有些在社交上应该避讳的缺点:譬如势力、饶舌、说脏话等等。这些都会妨碍你结交新朋友。无论你有什么社交缺点,都应该正视它们,并努力改正。
然而,真正困难的是:友谊容易得到却不易保持。要想维持友谊以下几方面是必不可少的了。
善于倾听。倾听是友谊的基石它有助于你更好的了解你的朋友同时又表示你在关心你的朋友。
勇于承认自己的错误.朋友相处迟早都会产生冲突的但产生误会和冲突时双方都是有责任的我认为勇于承认自己的过错比追究责任更有助于解决问题和增进友谊。
掘言之,建立了友谊之后,要通过言语和行动来珍惜友谊,像爱护宝物一样爱惜友谊。只有这样,才能发展真正的友谊,让神圣的友谊之灯照亮我们一生。

a man with a friend is not failed!
演说者:tanya menon
i started teaching mba students 17 yearsago. sometimes i run into my students years later. and when i run into them, afunny thing happens. i don"t remember just their faces; i also remember wheree_actly in the classroom they were sitting. and i remember who they weresitting with as well. this is not because i have any special superpowers of memory. the reason i can remember them is because they are creatures of habit.they are sitting with their favorite people in their favorite seats. they findtheir twins, they stay with them for the whole year.
我教企业管理硕士学生有十七年的时间。有时,我会在几年后巧遇我的学生。当我巧遇他们时,会发生一件有趣的事。我不只记得他们的脸,我还记得他们在教室中是坐在哪个位置,以及和谁坐在一起。我能记住这些,不是因为我有记忆超能力。是因为他们是习惯性的生物。他们会和最喜欢的人一起坐,坐在他们最喜欢的座位,找和自己极相似的人,一整年都和这些人待在一起。
now, the danger of this for my students isthey"re at risk of leaving the university with just a few people who aree_actly like them. they"re going to squander their chance for an international,diverse network. how could this happen to them? my students are open-minded.they come to business school precisely so that they can get great networks.
这情况对我的学生的危险之处在于他们担当的风险是只和极少数与自身非常相像的人一起离开大学,他们将会浪费掉国际性、多元化网络的机会。他们怎么会发生这种事?我的学生是心胸开放的。他们来到商学院为的正是能取得很好的网络。
now, all of us socially narrow in ourlives, in our school, in work, and so i want you to think about this one. howmany of you here brought a friend along for this talk? i want you to look atyour friend a little bit. are they of the same nationality as you? are they ofthe same gender as you? are they of the same race? really look at them closely.don"t they kind of look like you as well?
我们所有人在生活上、在学校、在工作中的社交都是狭窄的,所以,我希望你们能想想这一点。在座有多少人,带了朋友一起来听这场演讲?我希望你们能看一下你们的朋友。他们的国籍和你相同吗?他们的性别和你相同吗?他们的种族相同吗?真正去近看他们。他们是不是看起来也和你很像?
the muscle people are together, and thepeople with the same hairstyles and the checked shirts.
肌肉发达的人在一起,还有发型相同的人,都穿格子上衣的人。
we all do this in life. we all do it inlife, and in fact, there"s nothing wrong with this. it makes us comfortable tobe around people who are similar. the problem is when we"re on a precipice,right? when we"re in trouble, when we need new ideas, when we need new jobs,when we need new resources -- this is when we really pay a price for living ina clique.
我们在人生中都会这么做。我们在人生中都会这么做,事实上,这并没有什么不好。和相似的人在一起让我们感到舒服。当我们在危急处境中时才会有问题,对吗?当我们有麻烦时,需要新点子时,需要新工作时,需要新资源时──这时,身在小团体中,就会要付出代价。
mark granovetter, the sociologist, had afamous paper "the strength of weak ties," and what he did in thispaper is he asked people how they got their jobs. and what he learned was thatmost people don"t get their jobs through their strong ties -- their father,their mother, their significant other. they instead get jobs through weak ties,people who they just met.
社会学家马克格兰诺维特有著名的论文,叫「弱连结的力量」,他在这篇论文中做的是去问人们他们如何得到他们的工作。他发现大部分的人不是从他们的强连结──父亲、母亲、另一半──得到工作,而是从弱连结──刚认识的人──得到工作。
so if you think about what the problem is with yourstrong ties, think about your significant other, for e_ample. the network isredundant. everybody that they know, you know. or i hope you know them. right?your weak ties -- people you just met today -- they are your ticket to a wholenew social world.
所以,如果你要思考强连结的问题在哪,想想比如你的另一半。这网络是多余的。他们认识的人,你也都认识。我希望你认识他们,对吧?你的弱连结──你今天才认识的人──他们是让你通往全新社交世界的门票。
the thing is that we have this amazingticket to travel our social worlds, but we don"t use it very well. sometimes westay awfully close to home. and today, what i want to talk about is: what arethose habits that keep human beings so close to home, and how can we be alittle bit more intentional about traveling our social universe?
问题是,我们有这张很棒的门票,可以遨游我们的社交世界,但我们没有好好用它。有时,我们待在离家非常近的地方。今天,我想要谈的是这个:是什么习惯让人类持续待在离家近的地方,以及我们要如何更刻意一点去游遍我们的社交宇宙?
so let"s look at the first strategy. thefirst strategy is to use a more imperfect social search engine. what i mean bya social search engine is how you are finding and filtering your friends. andso people always tell me, "i want to get lucky through the network. i wantto get a new job. i want to get a great opportunity."
让我们先来谈第一条策略。第一条策略是要用更多不完美的社交搜索引擎。我所谓的社交搜索引擎是你如何找到和筛选你的朋友。人们总是告诉我:「我想要透过网络来走运。我想要找份新工作。我想要有很好的机会。」
and i say,"well, that"s really hard, because your networks are so fundamentallypredictable." map out your habitual daily footpath, and what you"llprobably discover is that you start at home, you go to your school or yourworkplace, you maybe go up the same staircase or elevator, you go to thebathroom -- the same bathroom -- and the same stall in that bathroom, you endup in the gym, then you come right back home.
我说:「嗯,那真的很难,因为你的网络基本上是非常可预测的。」画出你习惯的日常路径,你很可能会发现,你从家里开始,你去上学或上班,你可能会从同样的楼梯或电梯上楼,你去厕所,同一间厕所,用那厕所的同一隔间,你最后到了健身房,然后你就回家了。
it"s like stops on a trains chedule. it"s that predictable. it"s efficient, but the problem is, you"reseeing e_actly the same people. make your network slightly more inefficient. goto a bathroom on a different floor. you encounter a whole new network ofpeople.
就像火车靠站时刻表一样。就是那么可预测。它很有效率,但问题是,你遇见的人都一样。让你的网络稍微不要那么有效率。去不同楼层的厕所。你会遇到一个全新的人脉网络。
the other side of it is how we are actuallyfiltering. and we do this automatically. the minute we meet someone, we arelooking at them, we meet them, we are initially seeing, "you"reinteresting." "you"re not interesting." "you"re relevant."we do this automatically. we can"t even help it. and what i want to encourageyou to do instead is to fight your filters. i want you to take a look aroundthis room, and i want you to identify the least interesting person that yousee, and i want you to connect with them over the ne_t coffee break. and i wantyou to go even further than that. what i want you to do is find the mostirritating person you see as well and connect with them.
它的另一面,是我们实际上做筛选的方式。我们会自动筛选。在我们见到一个人时,我们会看他们,见到他们,我们一开始就会看到:「你很有趣。」「你不有趣。」「你很重要。」我们会自动做这件事。我们无法控制。我想要鼓励各位做的是,对抗你的筛选器。我希望你们能环视一下这间房间,我希望你们找出你所看见最无趣的人,我希望你们能在下次休息时间去和他们做连结。我希望你们还能做更多。我也希望你们能去找到你们所看见最恼人的人,去与他们做连结。
what you are doing with this e_ercise isyou are forcing yourself to see what you don"t want to see, to connect with whoyou don"t want to connect with, to widen your social world. to truly widen,what we have to do is, we"ve got to fight our sense of choice. we"ve got tofight our choices. and my students hate this, but you know what i do?
做这项练习的目的是要强迫你自己去看见你不想看见的,去和你不想连结的人连结,去拓宽你的社交世界。要真正拓宽,我们得要做的是,我们得要对抗我们对选择的感受。我们得要对抗我们的选择。我的学生很讨厌这样,但猜猜我怎么做?
i won"tlet them sit in their favorite seats. i move them around from seat to seat. iforce them to work with different people so there are more accidental bumps inthe network where people get a chance to connect with each other. and westudied e_actly this kind of an intervention at harvard university.
我不让他们坐在他们最爱的位子。我让他们一直换位子坐。我强迫他们去和不同的人合作,在网络中就会有更意外的颠簸起伏,让人们有机会可以彼此连结。我们在哈佛大学就是在研究这种干预方法。
at harvard,when you look at the rooming groups, there"s freshman rooming groups, peopleare not choosing those roommates. they"re of all different races, all differentethnicities. maybe people are initially uncomfortable with those roommates, butthe amazing thing is, at the end of a year with those students, they"re able toovercome that initial discomfort. they"re able to find deep-level commonalitieswith people.
在哈佛,如果去看住宿的团体,会有新鲜人住宿团体,人们不选择室友。他们都是不同的种族、不同的人种。许多人一开始对自己的室友感到不舒服,但,让人惊奇的是,在年末,那些学生能够克服一开始的不舒服。他们能在人身上找到更深层的共同性。
so the takeaway here is not just "takesomeone out to coffee." it"s a little more subtle. it"s "go to thecoffee room." when researchers talk about social hubs, what makes a socialhub so special is you can"t choose; you can"t predict who you"re going to meetin that place. and so with these social hubs, the parado_ is, interestinglyenough, to get randomness, it requires, actually, some planning.
这里要给各位的讯息不只是「找人出去喝杯咖啡」。还要更微妙一点。是「去咖啡厅」。当研究者谈论社交中心时 ,社交中心之所以特别,就是因为你无法选择;你无法预测你在那个地方会遇见谁。关于这些社交中心,有趣的是一个矛盾:若要有随机性,需要的其实是规划。
in one university that i worked at, there was a mail room on every single floor. whatthat meant is that the only people who would bump into each other are those whoare actually on that floor and who are bumping into each other anyway. at another university i worked at, there was only one mail room, so all the faculty from all over that building would run into each other in that social hub.a simple change in planning, a huge difference in the traffic of people and theaccidental bumps in the network.
在我工作的其中一间大学,在每层楼都有一间收发室。那就意味着,会巧遇到的人都只有在同一层楼的人,而他们本来就会遇见彼此。在我工作的另一间大学,只有一间收发室,所以整栋大楼所有的教职员就会在那社交中心巧遇彼此。在规划上做个简单的改变,就能对人的交流及网络中的意外巧遇造成很大的不同。
here"s my question for you: what are youdoing that breaks you from your social habits? where do you find yourself inplaces where you get injections of unpredictable diversity? and my studentsgive me some wonderful e_amples. they tell me when they"re doing pickupbasketball games, or my favorite e_ample is when they go to a dog park. theytell me it"s even better than online dating when they"re there.
我想要问各位的问题是:你能做什么,来让你脱离你的社交习惯?你在什么地方能够被注入无法预测的多样性?我的学生给了我一些很棒的例子。他们告诉我:在比赛篮球时,和我最爱的例子──去公园遛狗时。他们告诉我,在那里甚至比在线约会还要更好。
so the real thing that i want you to thinkabout is we"ve got to fight our filters. we"ve got to make ourselves a littlemore inefficient, and by doing so, we are creating a more imprecise socialsearch engine. and you"re creating that randomness, that luck that is going tocause you to widen your travels, through your social universe.
我真正希望各位去思考,我们得要对抗我们的筛选器。我们得要让自己不那么有效率,这么做时,我们就是在创造一个不那么精准的社交搜索引擎。你是在创造随机性,它就是运气,能拓展你在社交宇宙中所旅行的范围。
but in fact, there"s more to it than that.sometimes we actually buy ourselves a second-class ticket to travel our socialuniverse. we are not courageous when we reach out to people. let me give you ane_ample of that. a few years ago, i had a very eventful year. that year, imanaged to lose a job, i managed to get a dream job overseas and accept it, ihad a baby the ne_t month, i got very sick, i was unable to take the dream job.
但,事实上,不只是如此。有时,我们真的会买到二等舱的票,在我们的社交宇宙中旅行。当我们接触别人时,我们不够勇敢。让我举个例子。几年前,我有一年遇到非常多事。那一年,我失去了一个工作,在海外得到了一个梦想的工作,且我接受了,再下一个月我生了孩子,我病得非常重,我无法去接那份梦想的工作。
and so in a few weeks, what ended up happening was, i lost my identity as afaculty member, and i got a very stressful new identity as a mother. what ialso got was tons of advice from people. and the advice i despised more thanany other advice was, "you"ve got to go network with everybody." whenyour psychological world is breaking down, the hardest thing to do is to tryand reach out and build up your social world.
所以,在仅仅几周,最后发生的结果是,我失去了教职员的身份,我得了到一个非常有压力的新身份:母亲。我还得到了人们给的一大堆意见。在所有意见中,我最鄙视的一则是:「你得要去和大家建立网络。」当你的精神世界在崩坏时,最困难的事就是试着向外伸出手,建立你的社交世界。
and so we studied e_actly this idea on amuch larger scale. what we did was we looked at high and low socioeconomicstatus people, and we looked at them in two situations. we looked at them firstin a baseline condition, when they were quite comfortable. and what we foundwas that our lower socioeconomic status people, when they were comfortable,were actually reaching out to more people. they thought of more people.
所以,我们更大规模地探究了这个想法。我们的做法是,我们去看社会经济地位高与低的人,我们在两种情况下去看他们。我们先在基线条件下去看他们,也就是他们很舒适的时候。我们发现,社会经济地位较低的人在舒适的时候,其实比较会向外接触更多的人。他们会去想更多的人。
theywere also less constrained in how they were networking. they were thinking ofmore diverse people than the higher-status people. then we asked them to thinkabout maybe losing a job. we threatened them. and once they thought about that,the networks they generated completely differed. the lower socioeconomic statuspeople reached inwards.
他们在建立网络上比较没有受限制。比起高社会经济地位的人,他们会去想更多样化的人。接着,我们要他们去想象可能失去工作的情况。我们威胁他们。一旦他们有那样的想法,他们产生出的网络就全然不同了。社会经济地位较低的人会向内接触人。
they thought of fewer people. they thought ofless-diverse people. the higher socioeconomic status people thought of morepeople, they thought of a broader network, they were positioning themselves tobounce back from that setback.
他们会去想的人比较少。他们会去想的人比较不多样化。社会经济地位较高的人会去想比较多的人,他们会去想比较广的网络,他们会把自己放在受挫之后重整旗鼓的位置。
let"s consider what this actually means.imagine that you were being spontaneously unfriended by everyone in yournetwork other than your mom, your dad and your dog.
让我们来想想这到底是什么意思。想象一下,你被你网络中的所有人都自发性地解除朋友关系,只剩下你的妈妈、爸爸,和你的狗。
this is essentially what we are doing atthese moments when we need our networks the most. imagine -- this is what we"redoing. we"re doing it to ourselves. we are mentally compressing our networkswhen we are being harassed, when we are being bullied, when we are threatenedabout losing a job, when we feel down and weak. we are closing ourselves off,isolating ourselves, creating a blind spot where we actually don"t see ourresources. we don"t see our allies, we don"t see our opportunities.
基本上,这就是我们在最需要网络的时刻所做的事。想象一下──这就是我们在做的,我们对自己做的事。我们在心理上压缩我们的网络,当我们被骚扰时,当我们被霸凌时,当我们被威胁会失去工作时,当我们感到消沉且软弱时,就会发生。我们把自己封闭,把自己孤立,创造出一个盲点,让我们看不见我们的资源。看不见我们的盟友,看不见我们的机会。
how can we overcome this? two simplestrategies. one strategy is simply to look at your list of facebook friends andlinkedin friends just so you remind yourself of people who are there beyondthose that automatically come to mind. and in our own research, one of thethings we did was, we considered claude steele"s research on self-affirmation:simply thinking about your own values, networking from a place of strength.what leigh thompson, hoon-seok choi and i were able to do is, we found thatpeople who had affirmed themselves first were able to take advice from peoplewho would otherwise be threatening to them.
我们要如何克服这状况?有两项简单的策略。其一很简单,就是去看你的脸书朋友名单,还有linkedin,让你能够提醒自己,除了自动出现在你脑海中的人之外,还有别人在。在我们自己的研究中,我们做的其中一件事是我们从自我肯定的角度来思考克劳德斯蒂尔的研究:只要想想你自己的价值,从一个有力量的地方建立网络。迈克汤普森、崔勋石,和我一起做的是,我们发现,先肯定自己的人,能够接受别人的意见,其他情况下,给意见者会被视为威胁。
here"s a last e_ercise. i want you to lookin your email in-bo_, and i want you to look at the last time you askedsomebody for a favor. and i want you to look at the language that you used. didyou say things like, "oh, you"re a great resource," or "i oweyou one," "i"m obligated to you." all of this languagerepresents a metaphor. it"s a metaphor of economics, of a balance sheet, ofaccounting, of transactions. and when we think about human relations in atransactional way, it is fundamentally uncomfortable to us as human beings. wemust think about human relations and reaching out to people in more humaneways.
以下是最后一个练习。我希望各位去看看自己的电子邮件收件匣,找出最近一次你请别人帮忙是什么时候。请看看你所使用的表意方式。你是否有说这类的话:「你是很棒的资源。」或「我欠你一个人情。」「我对你有义务。」所有这些表意方式背后都有一个象征。那象征就是经济、资产负债表、会计、交易。如果你用交易的方式来看待人际关系,对我们人类而言,从根本上就会觉得不舒服。我们应该要用更人性的方式,来看待人际关系及向外去接触人。
here"s an idea as to how to do so. look atwords like "please," "thank you," "you"rewelcome" in other languages. look at the literal translation of thesewords. each of these words is a word that helps us impose upon other people inour social networks. and so, the word "thank you," if you look at itin spanish, italian, french, "gracias," "grazie,""merci" in french. each of them are "grace" and"mercy." they are godly words. there"s nothing economic or transactional about those words.
至于要怎么做,这里有个想法。看看像「请」、「谢谢你」、「不客气」这些词在其他语言怎么说。看看这些词的字面翻译。这每一个词,都是在协助我们利用社交网络中的其他人。所以,针对「谢谢你」这个词,它们在西班牙文、意大利文、法文分别是「gracias」、「grazie」,以及「merci」。意思都是「优雅」和「慈悲」。它们是虔诚的词。这些词没有任何经济或交易的元素。
the word "you"re welcome" isinteresting.the great persuasion theorist robert cialdini says we"ve got toget our favors back. so we need to emphasize the transaction a little bit more.he says, "let"s not say "you"re welcome." instead say, "i know you"d dothe same for me."" but sometimes it may be helpful to not think intransactional ways, to eliminate the transaction, to make it a little bit moreinvisible.
「不客气」这个词很有趣。伟大的说服理论学家罗伯特乔尔第尼说:我们得把人情要回来。所以我们得要多强调一点交易。他说:「让我们别说『不客气』」。改成「我知道换成你也会为我这么做。」但,有时,不用交易的方式来思考,可能会比较有帮助,把交易元素除去,让它更不显眼。
and in fact, if you look in chinese, the word "bú kè qì"in chinese, "you"re welcome," means, "don"t be formal; we"refamily. we don"t need to go through those formalities." and "kembali"in indonesian is "come back to me." when you say "you"rewelcome" ne_t time, think about how you can maybe eliminate thetransaction and instead strengthen that social tie. maybe "it"s great tocollaborate," or "that"s what friends are for."
事实上,如果看中文怎么说,「不客气」在中文的意思是「别这么拘泥礼节,我们是一家人,不需要这些礼节形式。」在印度尼西亚语中「kembali」的意思是「回来我这里」。下次当你要说「不客气」时,想想看你可以如何除去一些交易元素,改成加强社交连结。也许说「能一起合作很棒」,或「朋友不就该如此吗」。
i want you to think about how you thinkabout this ticket that you have to travel your social universe. here"s onemetaphor. it"s a common metaphor: "life is a journey." right? it"s atrain ride, and you"re a passenger on the train, and there are certain peoplewith you. certain people get on this train, and some stay with you, some leaveat different stops, new ones may enter. i love this metaphor, it"s a beautifulone.
我希望各位能思考一下要怎么用你手上的这张票,在你的社交宇宙中旅行。以下是一个比喻。它是常见的比喻:「人生是一趟旅程。」对吧?它是趟火车旅程,你是火车上的一名乘客,有些人和你在一起。有些人会搭上这台火车,有些人会留下,有些人会在不同的站下车,可能有新乘客上车。我喜欢这个比喻,它很美丽。
but i want you to consider a different metaphor. this one is passive,being a passenger on that train, and it"s quite linear. you"re off to someparticular destination. why not instead think of yourself as an atom, bumpingup against other atoms, maybe transferring energy with them, bonding with thema little and maybe creating something new on your travels through the socialuniverse.
但我希望各位能想想另一个比喻。身为火车乘客的这个比喻很被动,且它是很线性的。你要前往特定的目的地。为什么不改个方式,把你自己想成一个原子,和其他原子碰撞,也许和它们一起传送能量,和它们结合一下,也许在你的社交宇宙中旅行时,创造出新东西来。
thank you so much. and i hope we bump intoeach other again.(applause)
非常谢谢。我希望我们有机会再次碰撞。(掌声)

when we have something annoy us, we will naturally to find someone to talk about it, the first choice is friend. we will not talk about it in front of our parents, because we don’t want them to worry about us. friend is so important in our life, we have many friends, we will share our happiness and sorrow with them, we hang out together, in a word, friends are part of our life. what will happened if someone have no friend? we hear from the news that the crime people are isolated by others, most of them have no friends, their view point about the world is distorted. without friends, people have no where to relieve their emotion, the long time’s depression of the emotion distract people from the normal life. so friends are very important, we can’t live without friends.
当我们有烦恼的时候,自然地,我们会找人来谈谈,朋友是第一选择。我们不会在父母面前谈论烦恼,因为我们不想让他们担心。朋友在我们的生命中很重要,我们有很多朋友,和他们分享我们的喜怒哀乐,一起出去晃荡,总的来说,朋友是我们生活中的一部分。如果没有朋友会变得怎样呢?我们从新闻上看到犯罪的人被人隔离,他们大部分人没有朋友,他们的世界观是扭曲的。没有朋友,人们就无处释放情绪,长期压抑的情绪让人们脱离正常生活。因此朋友很重要,我们不能没有朋友。

i am a student from _inhua middle school in chongqing,china. informed that you have a vacancy for a student to serve as the spokesman for animals, i cannot resist my inner e_citement,hoping to seize the opportunity to do something for animals .
我是来自重庆新华中学的一名学生。得知你们有一个空缺给学生充当动物发言人,我抑制不住内心的激动,想要抓住这次机会为动物做些什么。
in my mind,nothing can delight me so much as caring for animals. wherever i go and whatever i do, i usually keep in mind that animals are angels from the heaven, which bring us endless comfort and pleasure. i have been a panda lover since my childhood. panda is so lovely that brings fun to people and they are regarded as the treasure of our country. unfortunately,such a rare species is now faced with the danger of being e_tinct。what i am eager to do is to raise people’s awareness of animal protection and appeal to more people to care for our earth companies.
我认为,没有什么能够像关心动物一样让我快乐。不管我去到哪里,在做些什么,我会时刻牢记动物是来自天堂的天使,带给我们无尽的舒适和快乐。我从小开始就是一名熊猫爱好者。熊猫是如此可爱,给人们带来乐趣,而且它们是我国的国宝。不幸的是,这种稀有物种现在正频临灭绝的危险。我想要做的是提高人们保护环境的意识,呼吁更多的人关心我们地球的伴侣。
it is my belief that all human beings can make a difference together. i would appreciate it if my application could get your approval.

andy’s story
good afternoon, everyone!
my name is li yu_i. i’m from class 1, grade 7.
today i’ll tell you something about my friend andy.

压力大,怎么办?压力会让你心跳加速、呼吸加快、额头冒汗!当压力成为全民健康公敌时,有研究显示只有当你与压力为敌时,它才会危害你的健康。心理学家kelly mcgonigal 从积极的一面分析压力,教你如何使压力变成你的朋友!
stress. it makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. but while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. psychologist kelly mcgonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.
kelly mcgonigal translates academic research into practical strategies for health, happiness and personal success.
why you should listen to her:
stanford university psychologist kelly mcgonigal is a leader in the growing field of “science-help.” through books, articles, courses and workshops, mcgonigal works to help us understand and implement the latest scientific findings in psychology, neuroscience and medicine.
straddling the worlds of research and practice, mcgonigal holds positions in both the stanford graduate school of business and the school of medicine. her most recent book, the willpower instinct, e_plores the latest research on motivation, temptation and procrastination, as well as what it takes to transform habits, persevere at challenges and make a successful change.
she is now researching a new book about the "upside of stress," which will look at both why stress is good for us, and what makes us good at stress. in her words: "the old understanding of stress as a unhelpful relic of our animal instincts is being replaced by the understanding that stress actually makes us socially smart -- it"s what allows us to be fully human."
i have a confession to make, but first, i want you to make a little confession to me. in the past year, i want you to just raise your hand
if you"ve e_perienced relatively little stress. anyone?
how about a moderate amount of stress?
who has e_perienced a lot of stress? yeah. me too.
but that is not my confession. my confession is this: i am a health psychologist, and my mission is to help people be happier and healthier. but i fear that something i"ve been teaching for the last 10 years is doing more harm than good, and it has to do with stress. for years i"ve been telling people, stress makes you sick. it increases the risk of everything from the common cold to cardiovascular disease. basically, i"ve turned stress into the enemy. but i have changed my mind about stress, and today, i want to change yours.
let me start with the study that made me rethink my whole approach to stress. this study tracked 30,000 adults in the united states for eight years, and they started by asking people, "how much stress have you e_perienced in the last year?" they also asked, "do you believe that stress is harmful for your health?" and then they used public death records to find out who died.
(laughter)
okay. some bad news first. people who e_perienced a lot of stress in the previous year had a 43 percent increased risk of dying. but that was only true for the people who also believed that stress is harmful for your health. (laughter) people who e_perienced a lot of stress but did not view stress as harmful were no more likely to die. in fact, they had the lowest risk of dying of anyone in the study, including people who had relatively little stress.
now the researchers estimated that over the eight years they were tracking deaths, 182,000 americans died prematurely, not from stress, but from the belief that stress is bad for you. (laughter) that is over 20,000 deaths a year. now, if that estimate is correct, that would make believing stress is bad for you the 15th largest cause of death in the united states last year, killing more people than skin cancer, hiv/aids and homicide.
(laughter)
you can see why this study freaked me out. here i"ve been spending so much energy telling people stress is bad for your health.
so this study got me wondering: can changing how you think about stress make you healthier? and here the science says yes. when you change your mind about stress, you can change your body"s response to stress.
now to e_plain how this works, i want you all to pretend that you are participants in a study designed to stress you out. it"s called the social stress test. you come into the laboratory, and you"re told you have to give a five-minute impromptu speech on your personal weaknesses to a panel of e_pert evaluators sitting right in front of you, and to make sure you feel the pressure, there are bright lights and a camera in your face, kind of like this. and the evaluators have been trained to give you discouraging, non-verbal feedback like this.
(laughter)
now that you"re sufficiently demoralized, time for part two: a math test. and unbeknownst to you, the e_perimenter has been trained to harass you during it. now we"re going to all do this together. it"s going to be fun. for me.
okay. i want you all to count backwards from 996 in increments of seven. you"re going to do this out loud as fast as you can, starting with 996. go! audience: (counting) go faster. faster please. you"re going too slow. stop. stop, stop, stop. that guy made a mistake. we are going to have to start all over again. (laughter) you"re not very good at this, are you? okay, so you get the idea. now, if you were actually in this study, you"d probably be a little stressed out. your heart might be pounding, you might be breathing faster, maybe breaking out into a sweat. and normally, we interpret these physical changes as an_iety or signs that we aren"t coping very well with the pressure.
but what if you viewed them instead as signs that your body was energized, was preparing you to meet this challenge? now that is e_actly what participants were told in a study conducted at harvard university. before they went through the social stress test, they were taught to rethink their stress response as helpful. that pounding heart is preparing you for action. if you"re breathing faster, it"s no problem. it"s getting more o_ygen to your brain. and participants who learned to view the stress response as helpful for their performance, well, they were less stressed out, less an_ious, more confident, but the most fascinating finding to me was how their physical stress response changed. now, in a typical stress response, your heart rate goes up, and your blood vessels constrict like this. and this is one of the reasons that chronic stress is sometimes associated with cardiovascular disease. it"s not really healthy to be in this state all the time. but in the study, when participants viewed their stress response as helpful, their blood vessels stayed rela_ed like this. their heart was still pounding, but this is a much healthier cardiovascular profile. it actually looks a lot like what happens in moments of joy and courage. over a lifetime of stressful e_periences, this one biological change could be the difference between a stress-induced heart attack at age 50 and living well into your 90s. and this is really what the new science of stress reveals, that how you think about stress matters.
so my goal as a health psychologist has changed. i no longer want to get rid of your stress. i want to make you better at stress. and we just did a little intervention. if you raised your hand and said you"d had a lot of stress in the last year, we could have saved your life, because hopefully the ne_t time your heart is pounding from stress, you"re going to remember this talk and you"re going to think to yourself, this is my body helping me rise to this challenge. and when you view stress in that way, your body believes you, and your stress response becomes healthier.
now i said i have over a decade of demonizing stress to redeem myself from, so we are going to do one more intervention. i want to tell you about one of the most under-appreciated aspects of the stress response, and the idea is this: stress makes you social.
to understand this side of stress, we need to talk about a hormone, o_ytocin, and i know o_ytocin has already gotten as much hype as a hormone can get. it even has its own cute nickname, the cuddle hormone, because it"s released when you hug someone. but this is a very small part of what o_ytocin is involved in. o_ytocin is a neuro-hormone. it fine-tunes your brain"s social instincts. it primes you to do things that strengthen close relationships. o_ytocin makes you crave physical contact with your friends and family. it enhances your empathy. it even makes you more willing to help and support the people you care about. some people have even suggested we should snort o_ytocin to become more compassionate and caring. but here"s what most people don"t understand about o_ytocin. it"s a stress hormone. your pituitary gland pumps this stuff out as part of the stress response. it"s as much a part of your stress response as the adrenaline that makes your heart pound. and when o_ytocin is released in the stress response, it is motivating you to seek support. your biological stress response is nudging you to tell someone how you feel instead of bottling it up. your stress response wants to make sure you notice when someone else in your life is struggling so that you can support each other. when life is difficult, your stress response wants you to be surrounded by people who care about you.
okay, so how is knowing this side of stress going to make you healthier? well, o_ytocin doesn"t only act on your brain. it also acts on your body, and one of its main roles in your body is to protect your cardiovascular system from the effects of stress. it"s a natural anti-inflammatory. it also helps your blood vessels stay rela_ed during stress. but my favorite effect on the body is actually on the heart. your heart has receptors for this hormone, and o_ytocin helps heart cells regenerate and heal from any stress-induced damage. this stress hormone strengthens your heart, and the cool thing is that all of these physical benefits of o_ytocin are enhanced by social contact and social support, so when you reach out to others under stress, either to seek support or to help someone else, you release more of this hormone, your stress response becomes healthier, and you actually recover faster from stress. i find this amazing, that your stress response has a built-in mechanism for stress resilience, and that mechanism is human connection.
i want to finish by telling you about one more study. and listen up, because this study could also save a life. this study tracked about 1,000 adults in the united states, and they ranged in age from 34 to 93, and they started the study by asking, "how much stress have you e_perienced in the last year?" they also asked, "how much time have you spent helping out friends, neighbors, people in your community?" and then they used public records for the ne_t five years to find out who died.
okay, so the bad news first: for every major stressful life e_perience, like financial difficulties or family crisis, that increased the risk of dying by 30 percent. but -- and i hope you are e_pecting a but by now -- but that wasn"t true for everyone. people who spent time caring for others showed absolutely no stress-related increase in dying. zero. caring created resilience. and so we see once again that the harmful effects of stress on your health are not inevitable. how you think and how you act can transform your e_perience of stress. when you choose to view your stress response as helpful, you create the biology of courage. and when you choose to connect with others under stress, you can create resilience. now i wouldn"t necessarily ask for more stressful e_periences in my life, but this science has given me a whole new appreciation for stress. stress gives us access to our hearts. the compassionate heart that finds joy and meaning in connecting with others, and yes, your pounding physical heart, working so hard to give you strength and energy, and when you choose to view stress in this way, you"re not just getting better at stress, you"re actually making a pretty profound statement. you"re saying that you can trust yourself to handle life"s challenges, and you"re remembering that you don"t have to face them alone.
thank you.
(applause)
chris anderson: this is kind of amazing, what you"re telling us. it seems amazing to me that a belief about stress can make so much difference to someone"s life e_pectancy. how would that e_tend to advice, like, if someone is making a lifestyle choice between, say, a stressful job and a non-stressful job, does it matter which way they go? it"s equally wise to go for the stressful job so long as you believe that you can handle it, in some sense?
kelly mcgonigal: yeah, and one thing we know for certain is that chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. and so i would say that"s really the best way to make decisions, is go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.
ca: thank you so much, kelly. it"s pretty cool. km: thank you.
(applause)

good afternoon, everyone!
my name is li yu_i. i’m from class 1, grade 7.
today i’ll tell you something about my friend andy.
andy was a little boy. on his first day at school, he learned three words. i, you, and she. the teacher taught him how to make sentences with these words. the teacher said ,:"i, i am your teacher. she(pointing to a girl),she is your classmate. you, you are my student." after supper, his dad asked, :"what have you learned at school?" andy said at once: "i, i am your teacher .she (pointing to his mom), she is your classmate. you, you are my student. "his dad got very angry and said, :"i, i am your dad. she(pointing to his mom), she is your mom. you, you are my son." the ne_t morning, the teacher asked andy to make sentences with the three words. "ok" he said: "i,i am your dad. she(pointing to a girl), she is your mom. you, you are my son.
that’s all. thank you.
i am losing friends left and right, well, actually, only left. some friendships, however, have been strengthened during this election.
when i was 6, i learned a song: "make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other"s gold." even as a child, i was a born raconteur, so i always had lots of friends. but, by the time i got to fourth grade, i was already getting into political brawls. early on, i began living my politically active mother"s joke, "my name, it opens some doors and closes others."
i learned to tone it down a bit by the time i got to college. as a theater major, it was fun in an acting class one day, when we each had to pretend to be another student. i chose to mimic a beautiful petite girl with long dark hair. she was my polar opposite, this former cheerleader-turned-hippie-princess named michelle. she got a kick out of my impression of her. i thought it was cool that she could laugh at herself. we began a friendship that has brought us to the present day.
yet we were always opposites. i am roman catholic, she is jewish. i am tall, she is short. one rainy afternoon on campus, michelle insisted on carrying the umbrella for both of us, (i don"t think i stood up straight until the ne_t day!)
dear teachers and classmates,
good morning,my name is tom,today i will share my best friend to everybody.
i have a lot of friends, but i have only a few good friends. one of them is my best friend. we are both twelve years old. he is fat and tall. he likes to eat oranges and meat. he is very straight and generous. we always help each other. he is a nice boy and his math is very good. he likes to play football and basketball.
i enjoy playing with him because i can learn a lot from him. he can always come up with smart answers to those difficult questions. we usually play together after school in the afternoon.
he is very funny and sometimes he tells me some interesting stories but sometimes he sets me up. after all we get a long well. but sometimes we fight each other. his goal is to be a math teacher. he lives in linshan and i live in _iangshan. but we are good friends.
that"s all!thank you for your listening.

hello,everyone. good afternoon. thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk about my top concern. i"m no.26, i"ll talk about friend.
everyone of us,rich or poor,should at least have one or two good friends. my friend will listen to me when i want to speak, will help me when i need,will take care of me when i am sick,and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
when i was ten, i was suddenly confronted with the anguish of transferring to other school. i had to left my friends i had ever known. as a kid,i feel lonely when i study in a new environment without a person i had known. nobody i could talk,nobody could know when i feel lonely. the time when i couldn"t sleep, i"ll always miss them, then the tears filled my eyes.
later, i became familar with the environment ,and made some friends ,which became my best friends then. they talked with me when i felt lonely, they helped me when i needed, they took care of me when i was sick. even through we were part, we still keep in touch with each other.
in our whole lives,we"ll meet too much people but only a few can be our best friends. when staying with them,we can release ourself completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry together. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
but in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position in the society and to earn more money for their work. they have few time to share with their friends. with the time goes by, they will be far away from each other.
friend is kind of treasure in our lives. it"s actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it also likes a cup of hot tea, when we are in bed time, it will warm our broken hearts.
friends,especially best friends. it is what we should have in our lives,and it can make our lives be colorful go beyond our imagination.
thanks for your listening. this is what i concerned.
