You are entering a world far different from the one my generation entered.My generation grew up with no MTV, no college loan,no $175 sneakers,no underwear worn in public and very little jewelry worn on the tongue.Yet somehow we broke through and,achieved all these things,and more.I believe that your generation is far more elegant and caring than my own.You ask questions: "What is the meaning of life?" "How can I make a fortune with almost no money down?" "Why do we have to sit round in the hot sun listening to an opening speech? "
I do not recall who it was that spoke at my own graduation.Whoever it was,I know I looked to him for wisdom and guidance,just as you now look to me.I suppose if there is one single suggestion I'd like to leave with you,it is like this: concentrate on what you are doing.If you have decided to do it well,you will be successful,no matter how hard your situation is.
Act bravely.Do not fear making mistakes; if you make one,look out.
Make a contribution to our society.Even though 70 percent of you will be lawyers,still I say to you: Try to do something useful with your life,if only in your spare time.
In a very real sense,your graduation here today is not an ending but a commencement.If I may say so,this is,in fact,the first day of the rest of your lives.I realize it is a bit shocking to look at graduation this way,but I believe we must.Thank you,and lots of luck.You'll need it.

When people ask how many languages I speak,I reply I have forgotten six.That's the problem with languages: if you don't use them you lose them.But a little practice soon brings them back and you can once again enjoy the magic of talking to others in their own language and on their own terms.
I was a disaster at languages at school.I obtained 5 out of 200 in zero level French-an all time record.I was badly taught and I could never see the point.But as a young Royal Navy soldier to Singapore in the early 1960s,I heard that in Malay there was one word for "let's take off our clothes and tell dirty stories".Suddenly I saw the point.I never found the word,but in the process I learnt my first language.In the mid-60s,I was sent to the deep jungle among the local people.In their long-houses there were dried human heads hanging from the frames of the houses.I decided I would feel more comfortable if I knew their language too.
Not long after that,I spent two years learning official Chinese language in Hong Kong.One day,at a party with fellow students and teachers I tried to make a small talk with my female Chinese teacher."Have you ever flown in planes?" However,with my terrible Chinese tones,I made a mistake by asking "Have you by any chance sat upon a flying cock?" So you can imagine how I really felt inside my mind at that moment!You know what it means by speaking in such an uncomfortable tune to a female teacher!
Then I changed my languages and chatted with her in German,French and Russian in brief.God Heavens!My female Chinese teacher finally reacted and turned her red face to normal!Indeed this is the only time in my adult life when I haven't been learning a language.Languages have changed my life-and enriched it.And I think they can change yours too.

2.The writer was not very good at languages at school because .
A. he hated speaking Chinese with female people
B. he didn't learn languages very effectively
C. his French tests were always a zero record
D. his Chinese teachers taught him in a bad way
3.The mistake with the female teacher at the party .
A. would make the writer more confident of his Chinese level
B. would certainly bring the writer a severe punishment
C. brought the writer into a very embarrassing situation
D. would make her think highly of his Chinese level
4.The writer turned to other languages to talk to his teacher in order to .
A. warn people not to make any mistakes in official language
B. advise people to try using more languages to talk with others
C. suggest a diversity of changes of languages in people's life

It is reported, some needy students receive financial support of some kind people but never express our thanks. Personally, I think they are wrong.
Though the helpers didn't expect any reward in return, but it’s necessary and good manner to say “thank you”. Besides, it is a basic social skill express ourselves in modern society. Maybe some of them do feel thankfully. It is only because they are afraid of being looked down upon which they remain silent. But I just want to say that being poor for a moment doesn't mean you will be poor forever.
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
When I failed in the final exam, I almost lost heart. My teacher told me a quote, __1._ goes like this; “Your future depends on many things, _2._ mostly on you.” I can’t agree _3._ (much) with this view. It’s true that our future _4._ (determine) by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but our own attitude, determination, _5._ hard work play a more important role. In _6._ words, we are the master of our own future.
Take Abraham Lincoln for example. He was born in a poor family, and only received a _7._ (limit) education in his childhood. Yet through his painstaking efforts, he changed not only his own fate but also the history of America. _8._ to this day, Lincoln _9._ (regard) as one of the most inspiring figures in the world. _10._, I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands.
