1、致力于“零碳排放”的城市

丹麦是人均GDP排名世界前10位的发达国家，首都哥本哈根更是全世界最关注的地方之一。随着全球气候变暖进程的加快，来参观访问的人络绎不绝，因为在清洁能源的开发利用及碳减排方面，丹麦已经走到了世界的前列。因为崇尚环保，注重健康，丹麦500多万人口就有自行车420多万辆。在哥本哈根，三分之一以上的市民骑车上下班，就连首相也经常骑车参加外事活动。有趣的是，在哥本哈根市内，所有交通红绿灯变化的频率是按照自行车的平均速度设置的。哥本哈根承诺，要在2025年建成全球首个“零碳排放”城市。

3、没时间磨斧头

有个伐木工人在一家木材工厂找到一份合适的工作，由于薪资优厚，工作环境也相当好，伐木工很珍惜，也决心要认真努力地工作。第一天，老板交给他一把锋利的斧头，划定一个伐木范围，让他去砍伐。非常努力的伐木工人，这天砍了18棵树，老板也相当满意，他对伐木工人说：“非常好，你要继续保持这个水准!”

伐木工听见老板如此夸赞，非常开心，第二天他工作得更加卖力。但是，不知道为什么，这天他却只砍了15棵树。第三天，他为了弥补昨天的缺额，更加努力砍伐，可是这天却砍得更少，只砍了10棵树。伐木工人感到非常惭愧，他跑到老板那儿道歉：“老板，真对不起，我不知道为什么，力气好像越来越小了。”老板温和地看着他，接着问：“你上一次是什么时候磨斧头的”伐木工望着老板，诧异地回答说：“磨斧头我每天都忙着砍树，根本没有时间磨斧头啊!”

4、俞孔坚和他的“桃花源梦想”

“他开创了一个新的专业方向。设计为景观创造了多种不同的时刻。”在20XX全美年度景观设计专业奖项的名单中，美国景观设计师协会将唯一的最高奖项“综合设计杰出奖”，颁给了北京大学建筑与景观设计学院俞孔坚教授。由他主持的哈尔滨群力国家城市湿地公园项目，在超过620件参赛作品之中脱颖而出。

自从17岁离开故乡浙江金华到北京读书，再到赴美留学、归国回京，25年过去了，陪伴俞孔坚的，一直是临行前母亲交给他的一包家乡的土。这包土和俞孔坚的博士服放在一起，被珍藏。

爱之深，责之切。作为北京大学景观设计学研究院院长，俞孔坚对当前中国城市建设的犀利批评从未停止。归国后的俞孔坚考察了全国100多座城市，看到的是城市和文化的屡遭破坏。俞孔坚毫不客气地直言：我们在犯100年前美国人和欧洲人所犯的错误，但我们却以此为荣。

“我理想中的城市是一个建立在自然、文化遗产和人的休闲游栖网络上的城市，这个网络是城市持续健康发展所依赖的生态基础设施，这是一个新时代的‘桃花源’。”为了这个“桃花源梦想”，1997年，俞孔坚开始反对“城市化妆运动”。2003年，在他的主持下，北京大学景观设计学研究院正式成立。现在，200多个志同道合的同事们，正以土地的名义，为和谐的“土人理念”而奋斗着。

5、郑永慧：“信”字当头

著名法国文学翻译家、教授、作家郑永慧先生，于2012年9月9日逝世，享年94岁。

在很多读者的印象中，郑永慧是一个钟情于19世纪法国现实主义文学的翻译家，他一生翻译了雨果、巴尔扎克、福楼拜、梅里美、大仲马、左拉、纪德、乔治·桑、莫泊桑等人的作品共计409部，600多万字。

郑先生的译文首先强调一个“信”字，在此基础上尽可能做到“达”，是否“雅”要视其原文的雅俗程度而论，依此做到“信的雅”或“信的俗”。这是他几十年来恪守的基本原则。

1949年以后，最具影响力的法国文学译者当属傅雷，但郑永慧有一次还是因为翻译问题，很不给面子地挑了傅雷译本的诸多错误。有一次他谈到自己译《高龙巴》时，有意识地对傅雷的旧译本进行纠正，又发现傅先生本子中“任意删削”和由于理解错误进而自以为是地做发挥性注解的错误达几十处。“我写了一篇文章，叫做《浅谈翻译的‘信’》，发表在1990年第3期的《世界文学》上，文中从文学翻译的三原则‘信、达、雅’，谈到傅译的《高龙巴》，列举了一些例子，批判了傅的译文。”在文章结尾，郑永慧说：“由此可见，翻译要做到绝对的‘信’，是何等困难。傅雷尚且如此，遑论我辈!在翻译上从来没有捷径，只有多一分谦虚谨慎，才能少一分失误。”

对于郑永慧先生长达半个世纪的翻译工作，余中先评价说：“我曾翻译过梅里美和罗伯格里耶的作品，但这些东西之前都已经由郑先生翻译过了，所以仔细研究了他的译作，他最大的特点就是非常忠实于原著。”

适用方向：清醒;使命感;坚持原则;相信自己;挑战权威

6、不做最大做最好

有数据表明：全球轮胎产业三分之二的发明均来自米其林。在米其林人眼里，“汽车只是轮胎的一个配件”。现在，米其林集团每年的产品研发投入都超过总投入的4%。

其实，在各种品牌的产品中，米其林的轮胎经常是市场上最贵的，但米其林人从不担心：“我们的任务就是要让客户了解到，米其林轮胎的每公里成本实际上是最低的。”韩思克说：“米其林的目标不是做最大的公司，而是做产品质量、价格、服务最好的公司。”让米其林出名的，除了轮胎外，还有被无数饕餮一族奉为“红宝书”的《米其林指南》。

20世纪的第一个年头，米其林公司出版了一本小册子，里面有法国各地的加油站、修理处、食宿等信息，通过米其林的经销商免费送给来法国旅游的司机。时任米其林掌门人的安德烈在小册子的序言中写道：此书在新世纪出版，它一定能与世纪共存。后来，这本在每年3月的第一个星期三更新出版的指南，被美食爱好者们奉为至宝，甚至被誉为欧洲的“美食圣经”，尤其是在它开始每年为法国的餐馆评定星级之后。

即使拥有如此高的知名度，美食指南在米其林人的眼里仍只是一项“副业”。

如此专注，让米其林始终领跑世界轮胎行业。

适用方向：目标;策略;清醒;自信;认知

请以“My Best Friend为题，写一篇不少于60个单词的作文。

My Best Friend

我最好的朋友

My best friend is one of my classmates. Her name is Mary. Every day, we go to school together and go back home together. We often help each other and learn from each other in study.

我最好的朋友是我的一个同班同学，她的名字叫玛丽。我们每天一起上学，一起回家。我们经常互相帮助，并向对方学习。

We have the same hobby-collecting stamps. She has many nice stamps. She is very proud of them. Sometimes she gives some of them to me. I think she is a very good girl. We will be good friends forever.

我们有着相同的爱好——集邮。她有很多漂亮的邮票，并为此十分自豪。有时，她会把其中的一些邮票给我。我认为她是个非常好的女孩。我们会成为永远的朋友。

点评：这是一篇记人的叙述文。先交代了My Best Friend是谁，接着通过事例交代了为什么“我们是最好的朋友”。最后阐述了主题。

钟声响起，晚自习终于结束。我紧抱着书包，随着熙熙攘攘的人群缓缓走出校园，大地早被黑暗笼罩，路灯撕破黑幕，发出暗黄的光。

渐渐的，分散回家的人越来越少，脚下的路越来越荒僻，最后，这条幽暗的路上只剩我一个人了。

初秋夜里的山野静得可怕，点点星光让人感到天地的存在，远处的房舍偶尔会传来几声犬吠，在深野里久久回荡，让人不寒而栗。我裹了裹肥大的校服，拍拍胸脯，给自己壮壮胆，打着手电筒，踏上了这条回家的必经之路。无边的夜色，总是让我心生恐惧。

说起缘由，那是我上小学时，母亲因为要照顾病重的外婆而误了接我的时间，天色渐渐黑了，无奈之下我只能尝试着一个人回家。晚风吹起，路边的树草不时发出声响，吓得我不时向四周张望，生怕有什么东西突然从黑暗中蹿出来。路过一片石滩地，一个不小心被凸起的山石绊倒，我顿时扑通跌倒在地，感觉腿痛得厉害，流血了。我独自坐在嶙峋的山石之间，听着呼呼风声，加上黑夜给我带来的恐惧，我吓得呜呜地哭。当母亲拿着手电筒慌慌忙忙地找到我时，我早已吓傻了。

自此以后，我开始害怕走夜路，母亲也应此自责了很久，甚至现在心中仍怀有愧疚。也因如此，母亲每天都会早早处理好家中繁琐的事务，在我晚上放学之前，赶到小路岔口，静静地等我，陪同我回家。

今夜，我刚走上小路岔口，一束手电光向我这边扫来，伴随着母亲喊我名字的声音。

风吹在林间沙沙作响，像是有人在窃窃私语，时而会卷下几片枯叶。我和母亲走在黑夜中的小路上，脚步声微不可闻，周边死寂的氛围，让我生发压抑感，我的脚步变得慌乱。

也许是感受到了我的恐惧，母亲放慢了脚步，转过身来握住我的手，用轻松温和的语气问我：“今天过得怎么样？”

“嗯，挺好的。”我注视着母亲，不敢将目光移向其他的地方。那些伸手不见五指的林荫深处，总会让我浮想联翩。

好像走了很久，星光消失了，“要下雨了”，我垂下眼睑，默默加快了脚步。

夜更黑了，风也开始肆虐，周围的枝丫都争相摇曳着。我努力地做到心无旁骛，只盯住脚下的路。母亲紧握我的手，我半依偎着母亲，内心涌起了无限温暖。

终于，前面的房屋亮着明亮而温馨的光，那就是我的家。

“到家了”，母亲说道。

明晚，我将会再次在这条寂静的，黑不见底的小路上行走。但我知道，一定有母亲陪伴。有母亲陪伴的日子真好！

Dear Jane, Glad to hear from you and you’re welcome to China in July. The following are some Chinese customs. Firstly, we greet each other by saying “Hello” or asking such questions as “Where are you going?” or “Are you busy?” to express our care. Secondly, when praised, we reply with “Oh, no!” or “I’m over-praised” to show good manners. Next, when receiving a gift, we usually say “It’s unnecessary” besides “Thanks” to show politeness and then put it away. Finally, at dinner parties, we talk loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someone’s health or success to show that we’re warm. Anyhow, different cultures, different customs. If you “Do as the Romans do when in Rome”, you’ll enjoy more of your stay here. I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey. Yours sincerely, Li Hua

Tree and Ax

Ilike to tell you a story today ,it is Tree and Ax:A woodman came into a

forest to ask the trees to give him a handle for Ax.It seemed so modest a

request that the principal tree at once agreed to it,and it was settled among

them that the plain,homely Ash should finish what was wanted.No sooner had the

woodman fitted the staff to his purpose,than he began laying about him on all

side.Felling the whole matter too late,whishpered to the Cedar:“the fist

concession has lost all;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor,we might

have yet stood for ages ourselves”The story was a satire on ungrateful

people,and it also shows us that giving alms to the enemy is cruelty to

yourself

参考翻译

树和斧子

今天我要给你讲个故事，就是“树和斧子”：有一个樵夫到森林里，要求树给他一把斧柄，看来他的请求非常谦虚，立刻得到了树的首领的同意。他们决定由平凡而朴素的白杨树来提供所需要的东西。樵夫刚按好斧柄，就开始到处乱砍，森林里最高的树都被砍到了，森林现在察觉大势已去，就小声对杉树说：“第一次的让步已经失去了一切。如果我们不牺牲我们的小小邻居，我们还可以活无数年呢。”这故事讽刺了忘恩负义的人，也告诉我们对敌人的施舍就是对自己的残忍。

Honorable judges, dear boys and girls,good afternoon!

It is my honour to have the opportunity to deliever a speech here.Today my

topic is that“No imagination no invention”.As we know, imagination is the power

of invention,many inventions just begin with the sparking of imagination.

There is no doubt that if you could not imagine so many good inventions

would not arise. Lenin said: Imagination is extremely valuable

qualities.Imagine, if not, the world will be how to, perhaps can only be a

gray.Have imagination is the root cause of human stronger than other animals.No

imagination of human development and progress will not have any.Einsteins

theory of relativity can find because of his childlike imagination. Jobs created

Apple, but also from his simply idea and refined imagination.

But, nowadays, people gradually lose their imagination, or the imagination

of people have been killed.Under the exam-oriented education，only the standard

answer is correct, the deviated answer is wrong.This causes scores become the

dominant factor,so student had to give up their imagination,began to rote

memorization.To realize Chinas dream and the national rejuvenation, can without

imagination?

If people stopped fantasy, then this is a real sign of the decline of

humanity. Imagination is the basis for the creation of the invention. With bold

Imagination, science was evolving, with rich imagination, before the era of

constantly advancing. We should protect childrens imagination and develop their

creativity. China may create a dream realized.

尊敬的评委们，亲爱的同学们，下午好!

很荣幸有这样一个机会在这里演讲，今天我演讲的题目是:“No imagination no

invention”。众所周知，想象力是发明创造的动力，许多发明都是由想象的闪现开始的。

毫无疑问的说，如果没有想象，如此多优秀的发明就没有出现的可能。列宁说过：想象是极其可贵的品质，设想一下，如果没有想象，世界将会怎样，也许只会是一片灰色。拥有想象力是人类强于其他动物的根本原因。没有想象力的人类将不会有任何的发展与进步。爱因斯坦之所能发现相对论，就是因为他的童真的想象力。乔布斯创造了苹果，也来源于他的简约理念和脱俗的想象力。

但是，现如今，人们渐渐失去了想象力，或者说人们的想象力在不断被扼杀，应试教育下，只有标准答案才是正确的，偏离答案就是错的，这使分数成了主导因素，学生不得不放弃自己的想象，开始死记硬背，试问要想实现中国梦和实现民族复兴，没有想象力行么?

如果人们停止了幻想，那么这就是人类衰落的真正征兆。想象力是创造发明的基础。有了大胆的创想，科学才不断发展，有了丰富的想象，时代才不断前进。我们应该保护孩子们的想象力，发挥他们的创造性。为中国梦的实现创造可能。

Get together gather …,

In China, Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion. On this day, all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this special occasion. Last year, I could not celebrate the festival with my family because I was in university. However, this special day left a deep impression on me.

I still remember the atmosphere of that evening. All the students who could not go back home assembled in our classroom, having a party to celebrate this traditional festival. We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm. As an ethnic minority, I performed a peacock dance, which received warm applause. After the two-hour party, we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day. We ate moon cakes, played cards, and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our classmates. In that harmonious atmosphere, nobody felt lonely or homesick even though we were far away from our homes

Thanks to our classmates, I experienced such a colorful and interesting Mid-autumn Day at my university. Thus, I learned to value all the festivals I spent during my university life.

The Father and His Son

Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.

He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。

然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。

Time slips away like water, and a happy, happy, happy summer vacation is quietly taken away. What happened during the summer vacation was like a star in the sky. Because I especially like to read books about history, but I am very unhappy because I have too many homework to read. In this summer vacation mom seemed to see my heart, and immediately to the library of our village four or five books about history of thick book to me, then I watched intently. But I saw it in three weeks and I had nothing to do. Three days after reading the book, I was still bored. Finally, my fourth day mother asked me to go with her to move the watermelon!

I put on my boots and started off with the bucket. I walked gingerly on the slippery field, and gradually saw many watermelons, carefully removing the round watermelon, for fear of falling on the ground. "One, two, three..." I put five big watermelons on the bucket, and I lifted the bucket and pulled it back. I was full of sweat when I came home, but "the emperor has no man to do", and my mother gave me an ice watermelon to reward me. Its nice!

But, those are memories, and the new semester is the one that needs to be faced.

People love to know that they’re helping the penguins because they’re so cute and small and they waddle up the beach and they’re so feisty. But they need to be they live in a pretty tough sort of environment.’

A thumbnail-sized patch of oil can kill little penguins the smallest of the species measuring just 13 inches (33cm) and weighing 2.2lbs (1kg). The oil separates and mats their feathers breaking natural waterproofing and heating functions.

Ms Blom estimates she has knitted between 200 and 300 penguin jumpers over the years including ones in the colours of every Australian Rules football team in the country.

A staff member read an article in an English women’s magazine about knitting for guillemot birds and decided to adapt the designs.

‘There’s an awful lot of ladies out there who used to knit for their children and grandchildren. These ladies have spare wool and idle hands and they love to feel loved and needed and we love and need them’ said Ms Blom.

The Penguin Foundation recently staged a competition for the most creative jumper which received an enthusiastic response.

The Penguin Foundation rescues approximately 20 birds a year. They even have a stockpile of jumpers in case of emergency - such as the large oil spill near Phillip Island in 2001.

In that instance 453 Little Penguins were affected 96 percent of which were saved - most thanks to the jumpers.

企鹅在世界上最寒冷的环境下生存，但有时候它们也渴望有一件温暖的毛衣。

由于石油泄露，企鹅们很可能接触到石油中的微量元素，甚至误食这些有毒的污染物。而迷你毛衣能给它们很好的保护，成功拯救了数百只企鹅。

为了保护菲利普岛(墨尔本东南部140千米处)上的小企鹅，企鹅基金会发起了为企鹅织毛衣的活动。到目前为止，基金会已经设计了300多种不同的毛衣款式，这都要感谢心灵手巧的志愿者们。

菲利普岛上自然公园的工作人员布洛姆说：“我们发现了很多隐藏的创意。”

“人们愿意帮助企鹅，因为它们又小又可爱，活跃极了。在沙滩上摇摆着身体走动时，它们又显得那么坚强。 这又是必然的，毕竟它们生活在这么恶劣的条件下。”

一滩指甲盖大小的石油就足以杀死一只小企鹅。最小的企鹅大概只有13英寸(33厘米)长，体重2.2磅(1千克)。石油会使得它们的羽毛缠结在一起且分散开，这样羽毛就失去了防水和保温的作用。

布洛姆自己就织了大约两到三百件毛衣，她还制作了一个毛衣系列，采用的是澳大利亚所有足球队的代表颜色。

之所以采用毛衣，是因为基金会的一名员工在一本女性杂志上看到了一篇给海鸟织毛衣的文章，随后就决定模仿这一设计。

布洛姆说：“许多女性朋友为自己的孩子织毛衣，她们乐意帮助我们，也会提供多余的毛线和手工，她们喜欢这种被爱被需要的感觉。基金会也非常感谢和需要她们。”

最近，企鹅基金会举办了一场“最具创意毛衣”大赛，获得了不错的反响。

每年，企鹅基金会拯救的企鹅大约在20只。他们甚至还有毛衣储备以应对紧急情况，比如2001年菲利普岛附近的大规模石油泄露事件。

那次事件中，453只企鹅受到了影响，当中96%的企鹅获救——最大的功臣就是毛衣了。
