第一篇：Knowing the Consequences of Choice
over the past spring festival, i got involved in a family dispute. right before i got home, four satellite channels of cctv were added to the 14 channels we had already had. in prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and i-had to argue over what to watch. finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... if we
could agree what that was.
however, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had tv, there were only one or two channels available. the increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of Choice.
fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. today, we read english newspapers like the china daily and the 21st century, as well as various chinese newspapers.
fifteen years ago, english majors took only courses in language and literature. today, we also study western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
the emergence of Choices marks the beginning of a new era in china's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the chinese nation.
we enjoy the abundance of Choice. but this has not come easily.
about 150 years ago, china was forced to open up its door by western canons and gunboats. it has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. the policy of reform and openness is the Choice that has made all the difference.
like others of my age, i'm too young to have experienced the time when the chinese people had no right to choose. however, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: what does Choice really mean to us young people?
is Choice a game that relies on chance or luck? is Choice an empty promise that never materializes? or is Choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
first, i would like to say: to choose means to claim opportunities.
i am a third-year english major. an important Choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. i can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. i can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in china.
我們家的電視除了已有的14個頻道外又增加了四個衞星頻道。晚上的黃金時間，每個頻道的節目都很精彩.結果，我們一家五口(父母，兩個姐姐和我)為了選台而爭執起來。最後，我們決定應當看“最有意思”的節目??如果我們在什麼是“最有意思”上可以認同的話。不過我們全都清楚地記得，買了電視後的好長一段時間裏，只有一兩個頻道可供選擇。電視頻道的增多反映出我們生活中的一個重大變化:選擇餘地的擴大。
15年前，我們身着同樣的款式，單一的色調。而如今，紛繁的花色和眾多的式樣讓我們挑得眼花繚亂。
15年前，我們幾乎無報可讀。而如今，除了大大小小的中文報紙，我們還讀上了《中國日報》、《21世紀報》這樣的英文報紙。
15年前，英語專業的學生只能選語言與文學課程。而如今，我們還學習西方文化，新聞，商務，國際關係，甚至還有計算機課程。
選擇的湧現標誌着中國進入了一個嶄新的時代，一個充滿多樣化的時代，一個物質與精神都愈加豐富的時代，一箇中華民族獲得新生的時代。
我們為選擇之多而歡呼雀躍，同時也深深地感到這一切來之不易。
一個半世紀之前，在西方大炮、戰艦的威通下，中國被迫打開了國門。經過祖祖輩輩的抗爭與犧牲，我們才最終贏得了當家作主的機會。改革開放這個正確的抉擇使一切發生了翻天覆地的變化。
我和其他同齡人一樣，太年輕了、沒有經歷過中國人喪失選擇權的歲月。但是，隨着下個世紀的腳步越走越近，我們是該們心自間了:選擇，對於我們青年一代，到底意味着什麼?
選擇，是場靠僥倖來獲勝的遊戲嗎?是句不用兑現的空話嗎?抑或是種讓人知難而退的困境?
首先，我認為，選擇意味着抓住機遇。
我是英語專業三年級學生，我所面臨的一個重大選擇當然是畢業後的去向。我可以攻讀碩士學位，或在國內，或在國外。我可以走上工作崗位，做名教師，翻譯，記者，編輯或外交(轉載需註明來源：)家.實際上，雙向選擇的體制在我面前鋪開了通向各行各業的大道。
説真的，這個選擇並不好做。我願意在像北京、上海、深圳這樣的大都市裏工作，我也盼着能回到雖不那麼發達卻使我倍感親切的故鄉。我希望可以留在生活節奏快，令人興奮的沿海地帶，我也願意紮根於廣炭的中西部地區，那裏雖然條件艱苦，卻有極大的發展潛力。
所有這一切聽上去令人振奮，但它們畢竟只是可能性。有些人面對五花八門的選擇挑得眼花繚亂，我要告訴他們:選擇就意味着接受挑戰。
對於我們青年一代，挑戰常以竟爭的形式出現。到下個世紀，競爭者將不僅只是其他大學畢業生，更有各行各業不同年齡層的人們。
隨着國際交流的不斷增多，我們得面對來自整個外部世界日益激烈的競爭，這就對我們個/、的發展提出了更高的要求。
15年前，懂門外語或會用計算機是個優越條件。但今天，隨着受教育面的拓寬，以上的知識也成了每個人必備的條件。
在這種形勢下，即便最細小的選擇也要求我們具有極大的智慧和自主精神。
當我們面對選擇不斷增強自己的主動性時，每一次選擇的結果也同樣變得愈加重要。
比方説，核能可以提高人民的生活水平，可它同樣也能毀滅千百萬人的生命財產。
經濟的發展使我們富裕起來，卻也給我們的空氣、水、健康帶來了嚴重危害。有些人對選擇的後果毫不在乎，我要對他們説:選擇還意味着承擔責任。我們替自己做選擇時，不能隨口一句“這不關別人的事”。作為下個世紀的決策者，我們必須承擔對和我們共同擁有這個地球的人們所負的責任。
傳統的中華文化教育我們，要勃奮學習，努力工作，以榮耀家門。然而我認為，這個家門並不只指諸如我的那個爭看電視的五口小家。更確切地説，它指的是整個人類這個大家庭。當我為自己的未來做出選擇時，我不會忘記自己第一次正確讀出“china"這個單詞時老師臉上的笑容。我也不會忘記在我們的幫助下重返校園的江西山區的孩子們興奮的臉龐。我更不會忘記飽受戰火、饑荒、貧困蹂蹦的波斯尼亞、車臣、索馬里，不會忘記那裏成千上萬的婦女兒童淚水模糊的雙眼。
所有這些我認識或不認識的人們組成了人類這個大家庭。他們從不同的時空中走進了我的生活，開拓了我的視野。現在，我將為自己做出抉擇，該是為使他們的生活變得美好而奮鬥的時候了。因為只有當每個人都過上和平、富足的生活，世界才能成為大家的樂園.

we enjoy the abundance of Choice. but this has not come easily.
about 150 years ago, china was forced to open up its door by western canons and gunboats. it has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. the policy of reform and openness is the Choice that has made all the difference.
like others of my age, i'm too young to have experienced the time when the chinese people had no right to choose. however, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: what does Choice really mean to us young people?
is Choice a game that relies on chance or luck? is Choice an empty promise that never materializes? or is Choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
first, i would like to say: to choose means to claim opportunities.
i am a third-year english major. an important Choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. i can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. i can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in china.
indeed, this is not going to be an easy Choice. i would love to work in such big cities as beijing or shanghai or shenzhen. i would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. i would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. i would also love to put down roots in central and western china, which is underdeveloped, but holds reat potential.
all of these sound good. but they are only possibilities. to those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, i would like to say: to choose means to accept challenge.
to us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. in the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.
with increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. this is calling for a higher level of our personal development.
fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. but today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.
given this situation, even our smallest Choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.
as we gain more initiative in Choice making, the consequence of each Choice also becomes more important.
as we gain more initiative in Choice making, the consequence of each Choice also becomes more important.
nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. but it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.
economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.
to those of us who are blind to the Consequences of their Choices, i would like to say, to choose means to take responsibility. when we are making Choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "it's just my own business. " as policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.
the traditional chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. to me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. rather, it is the whole of the human family. as i am making my Choices, i will not forget the smile of my teacher when i correctly spelled out the word "china" for the first time, i will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of jiangxi province. i will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in bosnia, chechnya and somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty.
all these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. at different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. now as i am to make Choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.

第五篇：the importance of Knowing oneself
the importance of Knowing oneself
Knowing yourself is a very important task which one has to
undertake, it can often be the most challenging as well。
when a person knows who they are, and clearly understands what they want, then they have a much better chance of discovering how to reach their own success, happiness and personal fulfilment! Knowing one's true inner self can be of great help to anyone working to reach their goals more effectively. it helps guide you along the path toward success. this not only fills us with much happiness, bliss and calmness but also improves our mindset, as well as our relationships and connections with ing yourself consequently, empowers and enables you to create different Choices. success easily comes to those with pleasing personalities.
however, this does not necessarily mean that you must do everything which other people want you to; rather it means acquiring a positive attitude and mindset? it means being respectful to the opinions of others while at the same time remaining true to one's own beliefs.
don't expect to suddenly go on a certain course and immediately become aware of yourself or enlightened. the success of such a journey depends deeply on how bravely you face yourself; on the way, you might discover certain things which you do not like and possibly choose to hide or even
deny.
the basic principle of Knowing yourself is that every person is responsible, in control and generate their own thoughts to the life they encounter.
rationalizations are used by many people to give a justifiable explanation for their actions. one may then pretend that the problem is not their own - and now it may be blamed on the other person. this is known as projection. you therefore need to discover and improve the true you, and not what others perceive you to be, and also not who you believe you must be, but the person that you truly are.
Knowing yourself will enable you to develop your full potential and be happy, contented and fulfilled? then indeed, when you reach your goals, you will turn out to be a much happier person. and that is real success in its truest sense.
