"Trust, tend to create a better state." Have you heard of this sentence? At first, Im not very deep impression of the words, but I saw the les miserables this book, I feel trust is an important thing.

Jean valjean was the hero of the story, he experienced the jail for a long time, finally got the freedom, but who also dont believe him, in the plight of the destitute, he got the bishop - MiLiYi care. However, because of jean valjean was a convict, people can not accept him, no one has seen him. Wait for him again, he is ready to help others, the people did not know he was jean valjean, all like him. Unfortunately, not for long, he was arrested again, forced labor in the ship. At work, a seaman accidentally fell into the sea, he saved sailors, himself fell into the sea! But he didnt die, during the French revolution of the battlefield, he is fearless, fighting in the bullets, rescue by people.

But when people know that he is jean valjean, pairs of cold eyes looked at him, eyes full of hate. This means that if other people dont believe you, you in any way to hard to erase their SINS, let people believe in you.

All of this shows that you trust others, others will feel very good, also will trust you. When two people trust each other, or the more people trust each other, the world will be how beautiful.

“信赖,往往创造出美好的境界。”你听过这句话吗?最初,我对这句话的印象不是很深,但我看了《悲惨世界》这一本书后,就觉得信赖是一个重要的东西。

冉阿让是故事的主人公,他经历了长期的牢狱之苦,终于得到了自由,但谁也不在相信他了,在这衣食无着的困境里,他得到了主教——米里艾的关照。然而,因为冉阿让曾经是一个苦役犯,人们无法接受他,从此谁也没见过他。等他再次出现,他很乐于助人,人们不知道他就是冉阿让,都很喜欢他。可惜,好景不长,他又一次被捕了,在船上服苦役。一个海员在工作时,不小心掉进大海,他救了海员,自己却掉进大海里!但他没有死,在法国大革命的战场上,他英勇无畏,在枪林弹雨中战斗,救助被人。

可当人们知道他是冉阿让的时候,一双双冷酷的眼睛望着他,眼里充满了憎恨。这说明,如果别人不相信你,你用任何办法都很难擦除自己的罪过,让人相信你。

这都说明,你信任别人,别人会觉得很好,也会信任你;当两人互相信任,或者是更多的人互相信任,这个世界将是多么美好。

篇1:领导在世界人口日的讲话

全文共 1551 字

+ 加入清单

各位领导、各位父老乡亲,同志们、朋友们,您们好:

今天是7月11日,是第二十三个世界人口日。在纪念第二十三个世界人口日之际,我谨代表中共XX县委、XX县人民政府、XX县计划生育协会向长期以来关心、支持全县人口和计划生育工作的百万各族人民和社会各界表示衷心的感谢!向奋战在人口和计划生育工作第一线的广大计生干部表示崇高的敬意!向为人口和计划生育工作作出突出贡献的广大计生家庭表示诚挚的问候!

1987年7月11日,世界上第50亿个人出生在前南斯拉夫的萨格勒布。南斯拉夫的一个婴儿降生,被联合国象征性地认定为是地球上第50亿个人,并宣布地球人口突破50亿大关。联合国人口活动基金会(unepa)倡议这一天为"世界50亿人口日",并决定从1988年起把每年的7月11日定为“世界人口日”,以提高人们对世界人口问题的重视。2005年1月6日零时,在北京妇产医院一名婴儿的出生,宣告中国第13亿个公民的到来。13亿人口日的到来,既标志着我国人口与计划生育工作获得了巨大的成绩,但13亿这个数字,也提醒我们,经济社会发展将面临着新的严峻挑战。

实行计划生育工作三十多年来,历届县委、县政府认真贯彻落实党中央、国务院和省委、省政府制定的一系列人口计生政策和重大部署,坚持人口计生基本国策不动摇,特别是紧紧围绕1988年时任贵州省委书记胡锦涛同志倡导的毕节试验区“开发扶贫、生态建设、人口控制”三大主题,全面加强人口和计划生育工作统筹解决人口问题,在遏制政策外生育、降低人口出生率和自然增长率做了大量的工作。组织领导不断加强,依法行政得到规范,利导体系初步形成,优质服务稳步推进,队伍建设明显提升,投入保障逐年加大,婚育观念不断转变,生育水平持续下降,各项工作全面推进。据统计,实行计划生育30年来,全县累计少生30多万人,平均每年少生1万人,为全县经济社会、资源环境的协调发展作出了应有的贡献。

人口问题既是经济发展的重大问题,也是事关全局的民生问题。省委书记栗战书在全省人口计生工作座谈会上要求,各级党政一把手要重新挑起这副重担,担起这个重大责任。要坚持“两种生产一起抓,两种生产一起上”,即一手抓物质生产,一手抓人口生产。当前,我县人口计生工作通过全县上下和各级各部门的共同努力,取得了一定的成绩。但还存在一定的困难和问题,主要表现在三个方面:一是人口基数已接近110万,总量较大,人口出生还处于波峰阶段,对实现“双降”目标将会带来较大的影响;二是流出人口接近20万,总量也较大,特别是一些以生育为目的的流出人口,流出后婚育信息难以把控,这部分人员既是政策外生育的主要群体,也是影响“双降”目标实现的重要因素;三是部分乡镇基层基础相对薄弱,管理不到位,影响人口控制工作水平的提升。这些问题不解决将会给全县经济社会发展带来不可弥补的损失。

人口计生工作是全社会的共同责任,不是计生部门一家的事,需要全社会的共同参与和大力支持。为此,全县上下要以纪念第二十三个世界人口日为契机,清醒认识到人口过快增长对国家、对社会、对家庭带来的危害。各级各部门必须紧急行动起来,按照县委崔英魁书记提出的“承认落后、不甘落后、后发赶超”的拼搏精神,把思想认识统一到控制人口数量是当前人口计生工作的第一要务上来,统一到中央的决策部署上来,统一到省委17号、市委4号文件精神上来,统一到县委、县政府的安排部署上来。加大工作力度,采取超常措施,解决存在问题,以奋力赶超的态势,全力以赴抓好人口计生工作。社会各界和所有市民必须遵守计划生育政策,积极支持、理解和参与人口计生工作。只有从我做起,模范带头执行计划生育政策,带动身边的人转变婚育观念,少生优生,全面建设小康社会的目标才能实现。

最后,祝全县人民节日快乐!身体健康,盍家幸福,万事如意!

谢谢大家!

Nowadays,with the rapid increase of population,the problems of overloading in cities is becoming more and more serious around the world.

For instance,the resources such as education,jobs,health care that a city can supply is limited.So more populations mean that everyone living in the city have less welfare.In addition,the phenomenon of pollution can also be aggravating.And the traffic jams will disturb drives frequently.

In order to deal with the problems caused by overloading,in my opinion,Lowering the birth rate is the essential methods.On the other hand,another way which is executable to reduce the pressure of population in cities is to move people from cities to suburban areas.Of course,this need the help of governments.

篇3:2024年世界人口日作文:中国人口死亡大揭秘

全文共 705 字

中国是一个发展中国家,面积约为96万平方千米,位居世界第三,而且我国还是世界上人口最多的国家,位居世界第一,这是我国的重要国情。

据统计,中国每年约有50000人死亡,其中一半死于非命。金鸡年,人口死亡路程上升趋势。中国正在一步步的发展,为什麽人口死亡率却逐年增加?中国现在仍处于贫困时期,随人中国从建国以来一直实行改革开放政策,但却不见成效。(如:1993年,我国国内总产值达5446亿美元,居世界第7位,人均占有量却处在第125位)当触及中国的资源问提时,国人总会骄傲的答曰,我国是资源种类繁多,数量丰富,是世界上的资源大国。殊不知,由于我国人口众多,资源早已被分割的寥寥无几(如:我国耕地在低26位)由于资源分布不均,从而导致有的人占有极少的资源,贫困潦倒,且缺水严重,从而导致许多人渴死,饿死。

中国由于人口众多,曾被称作“骑在自行车上的国家”,现在,虽然家家户户都有了自己的私车,但交通繁忙,很可能导致交通事故,且许多司机“执法而不依法行事”(如:酒后驾车,硬闯红路灯,横冲马路)从而导致许许多多的人死于非命。

我国的工业不仅发达,而且工厂遍布全国各地,人们的环保意识越来越差。截至至今,我国的环境污染,生态破坏仍相当严重。无锡人有一段歌谣,描述了大运河税制的变化:“50年代淘米洗菜;60年代水质变坏;70年代鱼虾绝代;80年代洗不净马桶盖”环境的污染,更是威胁着人类的生命,向肺结核,矽肺病,肺典等不易治疗的病症,像一把锋利的尖刀,刺杀了许许多多无辜的生命。综上所述,是中国死亡人数的主要原因。

我认为,国家应该用可施行的好办法,使人懂得生命的重要性;更好的落实改革开放政策。

我呼吁:保护环境,人人有责!

"Ordinary world" is a good book, because hes characters and the plot is very real. Straight lets a person as if place oneself in that era, experiencing the ups and downs of The Times. Let a person very inspired after see, delicious. In simple language and true feelings to witness the faith and of the ordinary life of ordinary life. Blundering s, ignoranting society like a cup of clear water scaling back despite the clarification, but not calm. Lu yaos characters are so personality is distinct, little, little flat in the books, and others are a symbol of that era will be affected by the limitations of The Times, but also is therefore is real close, lifelike.

First of all, I am very fond of lu yaos starting point: ordinary world. His world is ordinary, this is just on the loess plateaus thousands of villages in a. , small author characterizes each ordinary ordinary people life journey, foil the era of rapid change, reflect peoples thought, give a person with close, give a person with enlightenment. But lu yao is his character in the ordinary extraordinary. Such as sun shaoping, I think that the character of sun shaoping is the backbone of the text as a whole, through his growth and mature experience, show in front of everyone is a generation that time a vision of life and helpless. He received a high school education, through self-study degree can be thought to explore with college students. Overcome difficulties, to get rid of the bondage, let people yearning for a better life, how to experience life in the middle of the family love, friendship, love, learn to life, know how to cherish, for our generation, is also a warning. In lu yaos world are ordinary people, it is in these ordinary people he describes the human nature of good and beauty, ugliness and evil. In his world, one of the biggest advantages is to realize oneself is ordinary. This is the most prominent from sun shaoping. He realized the ordinary, also chose the ordinary.

Ordinary life, from the ordinary to thrive, you can see, is suffering the confidence, cant take away the hope, love never fails, bitterness, in the ordinary and the pride of this life.

平凡世界》之所以是一本好书,因为他的人物以及情节都刻画的很真实。直让人仿佛置身于那个时代,体验着那个时代的风风雨雨。看后让人很受启发,回味无穷。是以朴实的语言与真实的感受来见证平凡生活中的平凡的信仰与人生。浮躁的年代,浑噩的社会像一杯沉垢的清水尽管澄清,但不平静。路遥笔下的人物却是那么个性鲜明,书中的少安、少平,还有其他人都是那个时代的象征也必受时代的局限,但也正因此才真实亲近,栩栩如生。

首先,我很喜欢路遥的出发点:平凡的世界。他的世界是平凡的,这只是黄土高原上几千几万座村落中的一座。从小处着眼,作者刻画出一个个普通人物平凡的人生旅程,衬托日新月异的时代变迁,反映人们的思想,给人以亲近,给人以启迪。但路遥却在平凡中看到了他的主人公的不平凡。比如说孙少平,我认为孙少平这个人物是全篇文字的主线,通过他的成长和成熟的经历,展现给大家面前的是那个时代整整一代人对生活的憧憬与无奈。他受过了高中教育,他经过自学达到可与大学生进行思想探讨的程度。战胜困难,摆脱束缚,让人们对美好生活的向往,如何的体会生活中间的亲情、友情、爱情,学会生活,懂得珍惜,对于我们这一代人,也是一种警醒。在路遥的世界中出现的都是平凡的人物,正是在这些平凡的人物里他描写着人性中的善与美,丑与恶。在他的世界里,人的最大的优点就是认识到自己是平凡的。这点从孙少平身上得到最突出的体现。他认识到了平凡,也选择了平凡。

平凡的人生,从平凡中而来地繁衍生息,你能看到的,就是苦难中的信心,不能夺走的盼望,永不止息的爱,平凡中的苦涩,以及今生的骄傲。

As is well known by now throughout the world Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts created the smiley face in 1963. That image went on to become the most recognizable symbol of good will and good cheer on the planet.

As the years passed Harvey Ball became concerned about the over-commercialization of his symbol, and how its original meaning and intent had become lost in the constant repetition of the marketplace. Out of that concern came his idea for World Smile Day. He thought that we, all of us, should devote one day each year to smiles and kind acts throughout that world. The smiley face knows no politics, no geography and no religion. Harvey’s idea was that for at least one day each year, neither should we. He declared that the first Friday in October each year would henceforth be World Smile Day.

The very first World Smile Day took place in Worcester, MA on October 1, 1999. What a celebration it was! State and local dignitaries gathered and read proclamations in support of the day. Another proclamation recognizing the day was read on the floor of the United States Congress and is now part of the Congressional Record, the reporter of the official proceedings of the US Congress. Thousands of Worcester school children created World Smile Day® cards that were then delivered to area hospitals and nursing homes. The event became national and even international news.

The US Postal service came to Worcester that day to unveil its new Smiley Face stamp design. And, the Postal Service issued a special cancellation just for that event. Each year since then the USPS has issued a different cancellation commemorating the day.

In his inaugural address on that very first World Smile Day Harvey Ball laid the groundwork for that World Smile Day saying that the smiley face “…just reflects what is inside every one of us – a smile is what we want to see when we look at another human being.” He said, “Sometimes we forget that. Sometimes the world seems big and filled with problems that are too hard to understand much less solve. We start to believe that we are too small to make a difference. But that’s not true. The truth is that every one of us has the ability to make a difference every day.”

Harveys hometown of Worcester, MA has been and continues to be the epicenter for World Smile Day.
