建议的重点精听活动:Movie Clip 4-5Part I Language through MovieSection 1 Before-class ActivitiesB Extensive Listening Activitiespeople call him those names? What does Mr. Stark think of his nicknames?He is called “the Da Vinci of our time”, as he is a great genius in inventing weapons. But he thinks this nickname is ridiculous. He is also called “theMerchant of Death”, as henot only creates weapons but also promotes hisweapons to countries all over the world, thus causing casualties in battles. He thinks this nickname is not bad, and he doesn’t take the nickname seriously.2. According to Mr. Stark, what is the philosophy of his father? When beingcriticized as “war-profiteering”, how does Mr. Stark defend this philosophy?What do you think of this philosophy?Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.He defend this philosophy by showing that military fund benefits medical and agricultural technology.(Open question) This philosophy is reasonable. Having a bigger stick, i.e. stronger military force, allows you to achieve a sort of diplomacy through the threat of force. / This philosophy is ridiculous. Developing weapons definitely causes danger to world peace.Excuse me! Mr. Stark! Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?-Security: She's cute.-Tony: She's all right? Hi.-Christine: Hi.-Tony: Yeah. Okay, go.-Christine: You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?-Tony: Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.-Christine: And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?-Tony: That's not bad. Let me guess... Berkeley?-Christine: Brown, actually.-Tony: Well, Ms. Brown, It's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we've got.I guarantee you the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I’ll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals.-Christine: Rehearse that much?-Tony: Every night in front of the mirror before bedtime.-Christine: I can see that.-Tony: I'd like to show you first-hand.-Christine: All I want is a serious answer.-Tony: Okay, here is serious. My old man had a philosophy: Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.-Christine: That's a great line, coming from a guy selling the sticks.-Tony: My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project.A lot of people, including your professors at Brown would call that being a hero.-Christine: And a lot of people would also call that war-profiteering.-Tony: Tell me, do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology, or kept from starvation with our intelli-crops? All those breakthroughs, military funding, honey.1. Can you summarize what has been reported in the TV news in this scene?The Ten Rings cause violence in the outskirts of Gulmira, driving villagers out of their home. Refugees need help from the outside.2. After watching the news, how does Mr. Stark react? What does he do to helpchange the reported situation? What do you think of his behavior?He is angry, and set out on his Iron Man suit to the place in the report immediately. There he saves the refugees from being kidnapped and battles with the ten rings.(Open question) His behavior is great and heroic. /He has no right to crossthe country boundaries as he like./ He shouldn’t have intervened othercountries’ affairs.Movie Clip 2-TV: The fifteen miles hike to the outskirts of Gulmira can only be described as a'descent into Hell', into a modern day heart of darkness. Simple farmers and herders from peaceful villages have been driven from their homes, displaced from their lands by warlords emboldened by a newfound power. Villagers have been forced to take shelter in whatever crude dwellings they can find in the ruins of other villages or here, in the remnants of the old Soviet smelting plant. Recent violence has been attributed to a group of foreign fighters, referred to by locals as the Ten Rings. As you can see, these men are heavily armed and on a mission. A mission that could prove fatal to anyone who stands in their way. With no political will or international pressure, there's very little hope for these refugees. Around me, a woman begging for news on her husband, who was kidnapped by insurgents, either forced to join their militia... Desperate refugees clutch yellowed photographs, holding them up to anyone who will stop. A child's simple question: “Where are my mother and father”? There's very little hope for these refugees, refugees who can only wonder who, if anyone, will help.Section 2 In-class ActivitiesB Task One General understanding of the main ideaTask Two Further understanding of detailsDirections :Listen again and work in groups of 4 or 5 to take notes. Share your notes with the group members, and work together to write aCVfor Mr. Stark.Even from an early age the son of legendary weapons developer Howard Stark quickly stole the spotlight with his brilliant and unique mind. At age four, he built his first circuit board. At age six, his first engine. And at seventeen, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from MIT. Then, the passing of a titan. Howard Stark's life long friend and ally, Obadiah Stane, steps in to help fill the gap left by the legendary founder, until, at age 21, the prodigal son returns and is anointed the new CEO of Stark Industries. With the keys to the kingdom, Tony ushers in a new era for his father's legacy, creating smarter weapons, advanced robotics, satellite targeting. Today, TonyStark has changed the face of the weapons industry by ensuring freedom and protecting America and her interests around the globe.-Rhodes: As liaison to Stark Industries, I've had the unique privilege of serving with a real patriot. He is my friend and he is my great mentor. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present this year's Apogee Award to Mr. Tony Stark! Tony?-Obadiah: Thank you, Colonel. This is beautiful. Thank you. Thank you all very much. This is wonderful. Well, I'm not Tony Stark. But if I were Tony I would tell you how honored I feel and what a joy it is to receive this very prestigious award. Tony, you know, the best thing about Tony is also the worst thing. He’s always working.Task OneGeneral understanding of the main ideaTask Two Further understanding of detailsDirections: Fill in the following chart with detailed information related to the weapons presentation Tony Stark makes.Directions: Answer the following questions according to your first impression on the weapons presentation shown in this clip.This is a list of the ten countries with the highest defence budgets for the year 2010, which is $1.22 trillion or 76% of total world expenditures. The information is from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Total world spending amounted to $1.63 trillion USD inUnited StatesChinaUnited KingdomFranceRussiaJapanGermany9 India 41.3 2.5 2.710Italy36.01.81.7-Tony: General.-General: Welcome, Mr. Stark. We look forward to your weapons presentation.-Tony: Is it better to be feared or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both? With that in mind, I humbly present the crown jewel of Stark Industries freedom line. It's the first missile system to incorporate our proprietary repulsor technology. They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how dad did it, that's how America does it. And it's worked out pretty well so far. Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain. And I personally guarantee you the bad guys won't even want to come out of their caves.For your consideration, the Jericho. We throw one of these in with every purchase of 500 million or more. To peace!-Obadiah: Tony.-Tony: Obie, what are you doing up?-Obadiah: I couldn't sleep till I found out how it went. How did it go?-Tony: Went great, looks like it's gonna be an early Christmas.-Obadiah: Hey, way to go, my boy. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?-Tony: Why aren't you wearing those pyjamas I got you?-Obadiah: Good night, Tony.-Rhodes: Hey Tony!-Tony: I'm sorry, this is the “fun-vee”. The “hum-drum-vee” is back there.-Rhodes: Nice job.-Tony: See you back at base.Task One General understanding of the main idea 1T 2 TTask Two Further understanding for detailsTask ThreeIn Movies produced by Chinese directors, Chinese heroes are quite different from the heroes in American movie. One of the most famous Chinese hero movies is Ip Man (Ye Wen). Based on the life of Yip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun and master of Bruce Lee,the film focuses on events in Ip's life that supposedly took place in the city of Foshan during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Try to make comparisons between the two hero movies: Iron man and Ip man Step 1: DiscussionScript:-Rhodes: We've all received the official statement of what occurred at Stark Industries last night. There have been unconfirmed reports that a robotic prototype malfunctioned and caused damage to the Arc reactor. Fortunately, a member of Tony Stark’s personal security staff…-Tony: “Iron Man”, that's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean, it's not technically accurate. The suit’s a gold-titanium alloy, but it’s kind of evocative, the imagery, anyway.-Coulson: Here is your alibi.-Tony: Okay.-Coulson: You were on your yacht. We have port papers that put you in Avalon all night, and sworn statements from 50 of your guests.-Tony: I was thinking maybe we should say it was just Pepper and me alone on the island.-Coulson: That's what happened.-Tony: All right.-Coulson: Just read it, word for word.-Tony: There's nothing about Stane here.-Coulson: That's been handled. He's on vacation. Small aircraft have such a poor safety record.-Tony: What about this whole cover story that it's a body guard? He's my body...? I mean, is that…That's kind of flimsy, don’t you think?-Coulson: This isn't my first rodeo, Mr. Stark. Just stick to the official statement and soon this will all be behind you. You've got 90 seconds.-Pepper: Oh, agent Coulson. I just wanted to say thank you very much for all of your help.-Coulson: That's what we do. You'll be hearing from us.-Pepper: From the Strategic Homeland...-Coulson: Just call us S.H.I.E.L.D.-Pepper: Right. Let’s get the show on the road.-Tony: You know, it's actually... it’s not that bad... even I don't think I'm Iron Man.-Pepper: You're not Iron Man.-Tony: Am so.-Pepper: You're not.-Tony: Al right, suit yourself.questions, thank you.-Tony: Been a while since I was in front of you. I figure I'll stick to the cards this time. There's been speculation that I was involved in the events that occurred on a freeway and the rooftop.-Reporter: I'm sorry Mr. Stark, but do you honestly expect us to believe that that was a bodyguard in a suit that conveniently appeared, despite the fact that you...-Tony: I know that it's confusing... It is one thing to question the official story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations or insinuate that I'm a superhero.-Reporter: I never said you were a superhero.-Tony: Didn't? Well, good, because that would be outlandish and... fantastic. I'm just not the hero type, clearly. With this... long list of character defects and all the mistakes I've made, largely public.-Rhodes: Just stick to the cards.-Tony: Yeah, Okay. The truth is... I am Iron Man.Section 3 After-class ActivitiesPart II Culture through MovieB Cultural Enrichment ListeningTask One.Multiple ChoicesCDAA(1)According to the video, what is Mr. Stark’s mission in this movie?A.To fight with the Nazis in the Second World War.B.To help Agent Carter in her special tasks.C.To make sure Captain American and his men don’t get killed.(原因:Mr.Stark: “Me, I concentrate on work, which at the moment is about making sure you and your men do not get killed.”)D.To fight with the Nazis together with Captain America.(2)According to Mr. Stark, which of the following is the advantage of CaptainAmerica’s shield?A.It is made of metal stronger than steelB.Its weight is 1/3 that of steelC.It can absorb vibrationD.It has been fitted with electrical relays(原因:Steve: What's it made of?

奥巴马80后励志演讲稿:男人的责任

奥巴马80后励志演讲稿:男人的责任“你的未来,并不取决于你现在的生活有多好或多坏。

没有人为你编排好你的命运,在美国,你的命运由你自己书写,你的未来由你自己掌握。

”这是奥巴马的演讲中的其中一句。

下面跟着小编一起来看看奥巴马励志演讲稿:男人的责任。

【奥巴马80后励志演讲稿:男人的责任】U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Hello, Morehouse! (Applause.) Thank you, everybody. Please be seated.AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you!U.S. PRESIDENT OBAMA: I love you back. (Laughter.) That is why I am here.I have to say that it is one of the great honors of my life to be able to address this gathering here today. I want to thank Dr. Wilson for his outstanding leadership, and the Board of Trustees. We have Congressman Cedric Richmond and Sanford Bishop — both proud alumni of this school, as well as Congressman Hank Johnson. And one of my dear friends and a great inspiration to us all — the great John Lewis is here. (Applause.) We have your outstanding Mayor, Mr. Kasim Reed, in the house. (Applause.)To all the members of the Morehouse family. And most of all, congratulations to this distinguished group of Morehouse Men —the Class of xx. (Applause.)I have to say that it’s a little hard to follow —not Dr. Wilson, but a skinny guy with a funny name. (Laughter.) Betsegaw Tadele —he’s going to be doing something.I also have to say that you all are going to get wet. (Laughter.) And I’d be out there with you if I could. (Laughter.) But Secret Service gets nervous. (Laughter.) So I’m going to have to stay here, dry. (Laughter.) But know that I’m there with you in spirit. (Laughter.)Some of you are graduating summa cum laude. (Applause.) Some of you are graduating magna cum laude. (Applause.) I know some of you are just graduating, “thank you, Lordy.” (Laughter and applause.) That’s appropriate because it’s a Sunday. (Laughter.)I see some moms and grandmas here, aunts, in their Sunday best —although they are upset about their hair getting messed up. (Laughter.) Michelle would not be sitting in the rain. (Laughter.) She has taught me about hair. (Laughter.)I want to congratulate all of you —the parents, the grandparents, the brothers and sisters, the family and friends who supported these young men in so many ways. This is your day, as well. Just think about it —your sons, your brothers, your nephews —they spent the last four years far from home and close to Spelman, and yet they are still here today. (Applause.) So you’ve done something right. Graduates, give a big round of applause to your family for everything that they’ve done foryou. (Applause.)I know that some of you had to wait in long lines to get into today’s ceremony. And I would apologize, but it did not have anything to do with security. Those graduates just wanted you to know what it’s like to register for classes here. (Laughter and applause.) And this time of year brings a different kind of stress — every senior stopping by Gloster Hall over the past week making sure your name was actually on the list of students who met all the graduation requirements. (Applause.) If it wasn’t on the list, you had to figure out why. Was it that library book you lent to tha t trifling roommate who didn’t return it? (Laughter.) Was it Dr. Johnson’s policy class? (Applause.) Did you get enough Crown Forum credits? (Applause.)On that last point, I’m going to exercise my power as President to declare this speech sufficient Crown Forum credits for any otherwise eligible student to graduate. That is my graduation gift to you. (Applause.) You have a special dispensation.Now, graduates, I am humbled to stand here with all of you as an honorary Morehouse Man. (Applause.) I finally made it. (Laughter.) And as I do, I’m mindful of an old saying: “You can always tell a Morehouse Man — (applause) —but you can’t tell him much.” (Applause.) And that makes my task a little more difficult, I suppose. But I think it also reflects the sens e of pride that’s always been part of this school’s tradition.Benjamin Mays, who served as the president of Morehouse for almost 30 years, understood that tradition better than anybody. He said —and I quote —“It will not be sufficient for Morehouse College, for any college, for that matter, to produce clever graduates —but rather honest men, men who can be trusted in public and private life — men who are sensitive to the wrongs, the sufferings, and the injustices of society and who are willing to accept responsibility for correcting (those) ills.”It was that mission —not just to educate men, but to cultivate good men, strong men, upright men —that brought community leaders together just two years after the end of the Civil War. They assembled a list of 37 men, free blacks and freed slaves, who would make up the first prospective class of what later became Morehouse College. Most of those first students had a desire to become teachers and preachers — to better themselves so they could help others do the same.A century and a half later, times have changed. But the “Morehouse Mystique”still endures. Some of you probably came here from communities where everybody looked like you. Others may have come here in search of a community. And I suspect that some of you probably felt a little bit of culture shock the first time you came together as a class in King’s Chapel. All of a sudden, you weren’t the only highschool sports captain, you weren’t the only student council president. You were suddenly in a group of high achievers, and that meant you were expected to do something more.That’s the unique sense of purpose that this place has always infused —the conviction that this is a training ground not only for individual success, but for leadership that can change the world.Dr. King was just 15 years old when he enrolled here at Morehouse. He was an unknown, undersized, unassuming young freshman who lived at home with his parents. And I think it’s fair to say he wasn’t the coolest kid on campus — for the suits he wore, his classmates called him “Tweed.” But his education at Morehouse helped to forge the intellect, the discipline, the compassion, the soul force that would transform America. It was here that he was introduced to the writings of Gandhi and Thoreau, and the theory of civil disobedience. It was here that professors encouraged him to look past the world as it was and fight for the world as it should be. And it was here, at Morehouse, as Dr. King later wrote, where “I realized that nobody — wa s afraid.”Not even of some bad weather. I added on that part. (Laughter.) I know it’s wet out there. But Dr. Wilson told me you all had a choice and decided to do it out here anyway. (Applause.) That’s a Morehouse Man talking.Now, think about it. For black men in the ’40s and the ’50s, thethreat of violence, the constant humiliations, large and small, the uncertainty that you could support a family, the gnawing doubts born of the Jim Crow culture that told you every day that somehow you were inferior, the temptation to shrink from the world, to accept your place, to avoid risks, to be afraid — that temptation was necessarily strong.And yet, here, under the tutelage of men like Dr. Mays, young Martin learned to be unafraid. And he, in turn, taught others to be unafraid. And over time, he taught a nation to be unafraid. And over the last 50 years, thanks to the moral force of Dr. King and a Moses generation that overcame their fear and their cynicism and their despair, barriers have come tumbling down, and new doors of opportunity have swung open, and laws and hearts and minds have been changed to the point where someone who looks just like you can somehow come to serve as President of these United States of America. (Applause.) So the history we share should give you hope. The future we share should give you hope. You’re graduating into an improving job market. You’re living in a time when advances in technology and communication put the world at your fingertips. Your generation is uniquely poised for success unlike any generation of African Americans that came before it.But that doesn’t mean we don’t have work —because if we’re honest with ourselves, we know that too few of our brothers have the opportunities that you’ve had here at Morehouse.In troubled neighborhoods all across this country —many of them heavily African American —too few of our citizens have role models to guide them. Communities just a couple miles from my house in Chicago, communities just a couple miles from here —they’r e places where jobs are still too scarce and wages are still too low; where schools are underfunded and violence is pervasive; where too many of our men spend their youth not behind a desk in a classroom, but hanging out on the streets or brooding behind a jail cell.My job, as President, is to advocate for policies that generate more opportunity for everybody —policies that strengthen the middle class and give more people the chance to climb their way into the middle class. Policies that create more good jobs and reduce poverty, and educate more children, and give more families the security of health care, and protect more of our children from the horrors of gun violence. That’s my job. Those are matters of public policy, and it is important for all of us —black, white and brown — to advocate for an America where everybody has got a fair shot in life. Not just some. Not just a few. (Applause.) But along with collective responsibilities, we have individual responsibilities. There are some things, as black men, we can only do for ourselves. There are some things, as Morehouse Men, that you are obliged to do for those still left behind. As Morehouse Men, you now wield something even more powerful than the diploma you’re about tocollect —and that’s the po wer of your example.So what I ask of you today is the same thing I ask of every graduating class I address: Use that power for something larger than yourself. Live up to President Mays’s challenge. Be “sensitive to the wrongs, the sufferings, and the in justices of society.” And be “willing to accept responsibility for correcting (those) ills.”I know that some of you came to Morehouse from communities where life was about keeping your head down and looking out for yourself. Maybe you feel like you escaped, and now you can take your degree and get that fancy job and the nice house and the nice car — and never look back. And don’t get me wrong — with all those student loans you’ve had to take out, I know you’ve got to earn some money. With doors open to you that your parents and grandparents could not even imagine, no one expects you to take a vow of poverty. But I will say it betrays a poverty of ambition if all you think about is what goods you can buy instead of what good you can do. (Applause.)So, yes, go get that law degree. But if you do, ask yourself if the only option is to defend the rich and the powerful, or if you can also find some time to defend the powerless. Sure, go get your MBA, or start that business. We need black businesses out there. But ask yourselves what broader purpose your business might serve, in putting people to work, or transforming a neighborhood. The most successful CEOs I know didn’tstart out intent just on making money — rather, they had a vision of how their product or service would change things, and the money followed. (Applause.)Some of you may be headed to medical school to become doctors. But make sure you heal folks in underserved communities who really need it, too. For generations, certain groups in this country — especially African Americans — have been desperate in need of access to quality, affordable health care. And as a society, we’re finally beginning to change that. Those of you who are under the age of 26 already have the option to stay on your parent’s health care plan. But all of you are heading into an economy where many young people expect not only to have multiple jobs, but multiple careers.So starting October 1st, because of the Affordable Care Act —otherwise known as Obamacare — (applause) —you’ll be able to shop for a quality, affordable plan that’s yours and travels with you — a plan that will insure not only your health, but your dreams if you are sick or get in an accident. But we’re going to need some doctors to make sure it works, too. We’ve got to make sure everybody has good health in this country. It’s not just good for you, it’s good for this country. So you’re going to have to spread the word to your fellow young people.Which brings me to a second point: Just as Morehouse has taught you to expect more of yourselves, inspire those who look up to you toexpect more of themselves. We know that too many young men in our community continue to make bad choices. And I have to say, growing up, I made quite a few myself. Sometimes I wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down. I had a tendency sometimes to make excuses for me not doing the right thing. But one of the things that all of you have learned over the last four years is there’s no longer any room for excuses. (Applause.)I understand there’s a common fraternity creed here at Morehouse: “Excuses are tools of the incompetent used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of n othingness.” Well, we’ve got no time for excuses. Not because the bitter legacy of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they have not. Not because racism and discrimination no longer exist; we know those are still out there. It’s just that in today’s hyperconnected, hypercompetitive world, with millions of young people from China and India and Brazil — many of whom started with a whole lot less than all of you did — all of them entering the global workforce alongside you, nobody is going to give you anything that you have not earned. (Applause.)Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination. And moreover, you have to remember that whatever you’ve gone through, it pales in comparison to the hardships previous generations endured — and they overcame them. And if theyovercame them, you can overcome them, too. (Applause.)You now hail from a lineage and legacy of immeasurably strong men —men who bore tremendous burdens and still laid the stones for the path on which we now walk. You wear the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes, and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall, and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. These men were many things to many people. And they knew full well the role that racism played in their lives. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses.Every one of you have a grandma or an uncle or a parent who’s told you that at some point in life, as an African American, you have to work twice as hard as anyone else if you want to get by. I think President Mays put it even better: He said, “Whatever you do, strive to do it so well that no man living and no man dead, and no man yet to be born can do it any better.” (Applause.)And I promise you, what was needed in Dr. Mays’s time, that spirit of excellence, and hard work, and dedication, and no excuses is needed now more than ever. If you think you can just get over in this economy just because you have a Moreho use degree, you’re in for a rude awakening. But if you stay hungry, if you keep hustling, if you keep on your grind and get other folks to do the same — nobody can stop you.(Applause.)And when I talk about pursuing excellence and setting an example, I’m not just talking about in your professional life. One of today’s graduates, Frederick Anderson —where’s Frederick? Frederick, right here. (Applause.) I know it’s raining, but I’m going to tell about Frederick. Frederick started his college career in Ohio, only to find out that his high school sweetheart back in Georgia was pregnant. So he came back and enrolled in Morehouse to be closer to her. Pretty soon, helping raise a newborn and working night shifts became too much, so he started taking business classes at a technical college instead — doing everything from delivering newspapers to buffing hospital floors to support his family.And then he enrolled at Morehouse a second time. But even with a job, he couldn’t keep up with the cost of tuition. So af ter getting his degree from that technical school, this father of three decided to come back to Morehouse for a third time. (Applause.) As Frederick says, “God has a plan for my life, and He’s not done with me yet.”And today, Frederick is a family man, and a working man, and a Morehouse Man. (Applause.) And that’s what I’m asking all of you to do: Keep setting an example for what it means to be a man. (Applause.) Be the best husband t o your wife, or you’re your boyfriend, or your partner. Be the best father you can be to your children. Because nothing is more important.I was raised by a heroic single mom, wonderful grandparents —made incredible sacrifices for me. And I know there are moms and grandparents here today who did the same thing for all of you. But I sure wish I had had a father who was not only present, but involved.Didn’t know my dad. And so my whole life, I’ve tried to be for Michelle and my girls what my father was not for my mother and me. I want to break that cycle where a father is not at home — (applause) —where a father is not helping to raise that son or daughter. I want to be a better father, a better husband, a better man.It’s hard work that demands your constant attention and frequent sacrifice. And I promise you, Michelle will tell you I’m not perfect. She’s got a long list of my imperfections. (Laughter.) Even now, I’m still practicing, I’m still learning, still getting corrected in terms of how to be a fine husband and a good father. But I will tell you this: Everything else is unfulfilled if we fail at family, if we fail at that responsibility. (Applause.)I know that when I am on my deathbed someday, I will not be thinking about any particular legislation I passed; I will not be thinking about a policy I promoted; I will not be thinking about the speech I gave, I will not be thinking the Nobel Prize I received. I will be thinking about that walk I took with my daughters. I’ll be thinking about a lazy afternoon with my wife. I’ll be thinking about sitting around the dinn er table and seeing them happy and healthy and knowing that they were loved. AndI’ll be thinking about whether I did right by all of them.So be a good role model, set a good example for that young brother coming up. If you know somebody who’s not on po int, go back and bring that brother along —those who’ve been left behind, who haven’t had the same opportunities we have —they need to hear from you. You’ve got to be engaged on the barbershops, on the basketball court, at church, spend time and energy and presence to give people opportunities and a chance. Pull them up, expose them, support their dreams. Don’t put them down.We’ve got to teach them just like what we have to learn, what it means to be a man — to serve your city like Maynard Jackson; to shape the culture like Spike Lee; to be like Chester Davenport, one of the first people to integrate the University of Georgia Law School. When he got there, nobody would sit next to him in class. But Chester didn’t mind. Later on, he said, “It was the thi ng for me to do. Someone needed to be the first.” And today, Chester is here celebrating his 50th reunion. Where is Chester Davenport? He’s here. (Applause.)So if you’ve had role models, fathers, brothers like that — thank them today. And if you haven’t, commit yourself to being that man to somebody else.And finally, as you do these things, do them not just for yourself, but don’t even do them just for the African American community. I want youto set your sights higher. At the turn of the last century, W.E.B. DuBois spoke about the “talented tenth” — a class of highly educated, socially conscious leaders in the black community. But it’s not just the African American community that needs you. The country needs you. The world needs you.As Morehouse Men, many of you know what it’s like to be an outsider; know what it’s like to be marginalized; know what it’s like to feel the sting of discrimination. And that’s an experience that a lot of Americans share. Hispanic Americans know that feeling when somebody asks them where they come from or tell them to go back. Gay and lesbian Americans feel it when a stranger passes judgment on their parenting skills or the love that they share. Muslim Americans feel it when they’re stared at with suspicion because of th eir faith. Any woman who knows the injustice of earning less pay for doing the same work —she knows what it’s like to be on the outside looking in.So your experience s give you special insight that today’s leaders need. If you tap into that experience, it should endow you with empathy —the understanding of what it’s like to walk in somebody else’s shoes, to see through their eyes, to know what it’s like when you’re not born on 3rd base, thinking you hit a triple. It should give you the ability to connect. It should give you a sense of compassion and what it means to overcome barriers.And I will tell you, Class of xx, whatever success I have achieved, whatever positions of leadership I have held have depended less on Ivy League degrees or SAT scores or GPAs, and have instead been due to that sense of connection and empathy —the special obligation I felt, as a black man like you, to help those who need it most, people who didn’t have the opportunities that I had — because there but for the grace of God, go I — I might have been in their shoes. I might have been in prison.I might have been unemployed. I might not have been able to support a family. And that motivates me. (Applause.)So it’s up to you to widen your circle of concern —to care about justice for everybody, white, black and brown. Everybody. Not just in your own community, but also across this country and around the world. To make sure everyone has a voice, and everybody gets a seat at the table; that everybody, no matter what you look like or where you come from, what your last name is —it doesn’t matter, everybody gets a chance to walk through those doors of opportunity if they are willing to work hard enough.When Leland Shelton was four years old —where’s Leland? (Applause.) Stand up, Leland. When Leland Shelton was four years old, social services took him away from his mama, put him in the care of his grandparents. By age 14, he was in the foster care system. Three years after that, Leland enrolled in Morehouse. And today he is graduating PhiBeta Kappa on his way to Harvard Law School. (Applause.) But he’s not stopping there. As a member of the National Foster Care Youth and Alumni Policy Council, he plans to use his law degree to make sure kids like him don’t fall through the cracks. And it won’t matter whether they’re black kids or brown kids or white kids or Native American kids, because he’ll understand what they’re going through. And he’ll be fighting for them. He’ll be in their corner. That’s leadership. That’s a Morehouse Man right there. (Applause.)That’s what we’ve come to expect from you, Morehouse —a legacy of leaders —not just in our black community, but for the entire American community. To recognize the burdens you carry with you, but to resist the temptation to use them as excuses. To transform the way we think about manhood, and set higher standards for ourselves and for others. To be successful, but also to understand that each of us has responsibilities not just to ourselves, but to one another and to future generations. Men who refuse to be afraid. Men who refuse to be afraid.Members of the Class of xx, you are heirs to a great legacy. You have within you that same courage and that same strength, the same resolve as the men who came before you. That’s what bein g a Morehouse Man is all about. That’s what being an American is all about.Success may not come quickly or easily. But if you strive to do what’s right, if you work harder and dream bigger, if you set an example inyour own lives and do your part to help meet the challenges of our time, then I’m confident that, together, we will continue the never-ending task of perfecting our union.Congratulations, Class of xx. God bless you. God bless Morehouse. And God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)内容仅供参考。

Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into the Lunar Module and landed in the Sea of Tranquility. They stayed a total of about 21½ hours on the lunar surface. After lifting off in the upper part of the Lunar Module and rejoining Collins in the Command Module, they returned to Earth and landed in the Pacific Ocean on July 24. Broadcast on live TV to a world-wide audience, Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and described the event as "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Apollo 11 effectively ended the Space Raceand fulfilled a national goal proposed in 1961 by the late US President John F.

奥本海默简介英语作文

奥本海默简介英语作文Oppenheimer (J. Robert Oppenheimer, 1904-1967) , American physicist and “Father of the atomic bomb”.Oppenheimer was born in 1904 to a wealthy German-jewish family in New York. In 1921, Oppenheimer graduated summa cum laude from the New York School of Ethics and culture. He became ill and was admitted to Harvard's chemistry department the following year, he took a course in advanced thermodynamics taught by renowned experimental physicist Bridgman, which first interested him in physics -- a science that touched on his “Atomic complex.”, so he threw himself into a research project led by Bridgman and decided to apply for the Cavendish Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge after graduation.In 1925, Oppenheimer graduated summa cum laude from Harvard ahead of schedule and was recommended to the Trinity College by Bridgman. He then moved to the University of Göttingen, Germany, where he studied under M. Max Born worked with Max Born on a paper called “Quantum theory of molecules,” which laid the foundation for the study of molecular spectroscopy and established the molecular canon, he received his phd in 1927 under the direction of Max Born.In the summer of 1927, Oppenheimer returned home, first to Harvard, then to University of California, Berkeley and the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Between 1928 and 1929 he went toEurope, at Leiden University and the University of Zurich, with Alan Feist and W. Wolfgang Pauli, whose work has been influenced by Wolfgang Pauli, has always been at the forefront of the development of physics. He predicted the existence of positrons as early as 1930, and in 1931 showed that particles with different spins, integers and half-integers, had different theoretical structures, the nature of these elementary particle was described, calculated and explained in conjunction with numerous observations of cosmic ray and nuclear physics at the time, he has established himself as a leader in American physics.At the same time, Oppenheimer also gradually demonstrated his potential as a good teacher and quality. Always surrounded by a group of talented and sharp-minded young men, Burkley gradually became the center of American theoretical physics, most of the young physicists he trained later became the top experts in the field of physics and formed the famous school of Theoretical Physics in American physics.In 1942, a turning point in Oppenheimer's life, he was appointed director of war Los Alamos National Laboratory and Technical Director of the Manhattan Project, which built the atomic bomb.Oppenheimer returned to the University of California and the Polytechnic shortly after the war, Institute for Advanced Study in 1947 and became president of the American Physical Society the following year. From 1945 to 1953, Oppenheimer became one of theadministration and Congress' leading advisers on atomic energy policy, including two terms as chairman of the General Advisory Committee of the Government's Atomic Energy Commission. With deep awareness and guilt over the dangers of the atomic bomb, with foresight and fear of a Nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, with a conscience that upholds fundamental human values and a sense of social responsibility responsible for the future, fully committed to the international control and peaceful use of atomic energy through the United Nations, and advocating the exchange of nuclear scientific information with all major powers, including the former Soviet Union, in order to reach relevant agreements, and opposed the US taking the lead in building a hydrogen bomb. However, Oppenheimer's political ideas and experience were clearly naive, and he became the target of a witch hunt after Eisenhower's McCarthyism. In December 1953, Eisenhower decided to conduct a security review of Oppenheimer and revoke his security franchise. At a four-week security hearing from April 12 to May 6,1954, he was charged with early leftist activities and delaying the government's strategic decision to develop a hydrogen bomb, and was even suspected of acting as a Soviet agent, it was the Oppenheimer case. The Atomic Energy Commission's Security Committee and the Atomic Energy Commission, by a 2:1 and 4:1 majority, decided to strip Oppenheimer of his security concession, this ended his political careerand his pursuit of the political ideal of international cooperation and peace through the use of atomic energy.After retiring from politics, Oppenheimer devoted himself to Institute for Advanced Study Teaching and management, developing his teaching style and management skills here, and organizing a series of important international academic events, oppenheimer, the “Father of the atomic bomb”, was a victim of the McCarthyism of the 1950s and the cold war-era panic over American complicity and frame-ups. Oppenheimer has never won a Nobel Prize, but he has achieved as much as any Nobel laureate.(译文:奥本海默(J. Robert Oppenheimer , 1904-1967),美国物理学家,世界“原子弹之父”。

国外大学如何计算学生成绩

国外大学如何计算学生成绩

国外大学如何计算学生成绩美国大学成绩单与GPA的算法美国大学在评定学生成绩时,是采取GPA,即Grade Point Average的缩写(平均成绩点数)。

在申请学校时,GPA十分重要,很多大学有最低GPA规定,除了英文能力测验以外。

GPA的计算是把各科成绩按等级乘以学分,再以总学分除之。

美国学生各科成绩是以A.B.C.D等级计算。

等级成绩和分数成绩换算如下:分数等级点数表现91-100 A 4.0 极佳81-90 B 3.0 佳71-80 C 2.0 平均61-70 D 1.0 差51-60 E 0 不及格通常大学部学生拿到C以上成绩都可以。

但研究所硕士学生,至少要拿到B的成绩。

在申请入学时,很多学校有GPA规定。

GPA的计算是:1、每个科目以等级点数乘以学分。

比如微积分是四学分的课,成绩是A(即4点),微积分一科可得16点。

2、如果一学期修了四门课,英文3学分(成绩4点)、历史3学分(成绩2点)物理3学分(成绩3点),加上微积分。

GPA是16+4×3+3×2+3×3=43,除以13=3.31。

此学生的GPA等于是比B略好。

官方网站:地址:成都市西安南路69号西雅图10楼10国外大学计算GPA的方法xx-01-15 15:27:46甲壳虫国际最近,一些申请的学子来信询问如何将国内的学业成绩换算成国外大学的GPA(“均分值”Grade Point Average)。

回答这个问题之前,先要了解国外大学,特别是美国大学的评分体系。

美国大学众多,但评分体系各不相同,而且根据情况不断调整。

如美国密西根州立大学60年代使用的是ABCDF制,类似我国的优、良、中、差、不及格;到了70年代改为4.5分制,80年代起采用4.0分制。

目前大多数美国大学采用“四分制”(1-100)记分。

鉴于美国大学间学生的交流和转学校较为普遍,加之广泛吸收国际学生,鉴定外来学生的学业成绩成了录取中的一项重要工作。

《津巴多普通心理学(第八版)》第一天领读稿

《津巴多普通心理学(第八版)》第一天领读稿

《津巴多普通心理学(第八版)》第一天领读稿今天我们集结在一起,因为我们想要阅读这本这本最新版的《津巴多普通心理学》。

那么,在共读开始前,不知道大家有没有想过,我们为什么要阅读心理学,究竟什么算是心理学,以及阅读心理学都带来哪些益处和提高?以及我们为什么要读这一本心理学?在明天开始的共读的第一章里面,刚才的三个问题都会有涉猎,如果没有思考过,那么现在开始也不算迟,先想一想,然后开始翻阅。

那么回到最后那个问题,为什么要共读这本书?我认为有以下几个原因:1.市面上充斥了大量的心理学书籍,五花八门琳琅满目,但读者依然没有了解什么是心理学,甚至很多名字叫心理学的书令读者越看越迷茫。

而本书是一本心理学入门级教材,讲述的内容都是由生活中常见的问题或者事例所引发的思考,进而抽丝剥茧层层剖析。

同时每个章节开始后都有译者们给出的导读,每个章节结束前都会有著者给出的小结。

整本书结构清晰且有条理,不会让人在阅读的过程中如坠五里雾中摸不到头脑。

同时,这本书也会告诉读者,真正的心理学和伪心理学有哪些本质上的区别,如何通过自己的判断来区分出真正的心理学观点和伪心理科学结论。

我们还会了解到心理学和精神病学的区别,关注点有哪些异同(譬如精神分析和精神病学都是带有精神二字的名字),从而真正了解和重视心理学。

2.自身或者亲朋好友有这样或者那样的心理问题需要了解或者解决。

在进行心理辅导之前或者进行中,补充一些心理学基础知识点,这样的话,本书中的14个章节正好是14个心理学入门级学习主题。

但是值得注意的是,掌握批判性分析的思维技巧正是这本书的焦点之一。

掌握分析问题并解决问题的方法是最重要的,即使阅读完本书也并不能解决很多媒体报道的诸多片面的问题,但如果掌握了方法,可以在今后的日子里运用这些方法去辨别那些被报道出来的新内容的真伪,去评判各种主张的优劣。

我们也会了解到,心理科学的分析预测和结论都是基于客观数据的统计学方法来做出的,因而都会有概率性质,有自己的适用范围和条件,也会有个案例外。

美国哈佛大学解读

美国哈佛大学解读

美国哈佛大学解读美国的哈佛大学是美国最高教育学府。

也是很多留学生梦寐以求的大学,那么美国哈佛大学到底怎么样呢?跟着来看看吧!欢迎阅读。

哈佛大学简介哈佛大学一直是许多国内外学子的梦,许多学生拼尽全身力气只为圆自己最理想的大学梦,哈佛是美国的高等学府,出过8位美国总统,在世界大学排名中名列前茅。

哈佛大学(Harvard University),简称哈佛,坐落于美国马萨诸塞州剑桥市,是一所享誉世界的私立研究型大学,是著名的常春藤盟校成员。

这里走出了8位美利坚合众国总统,上百位诺贝尔获得者曾在此工作、学习,其在文学、医学、法学、商学等多个领域拥有崇高的学术地位及广泛的影响力,被公认为是当今世界最顶尖的高等教育机构之一。

哈佛同时也是美国本土历史最悠久的高等学府,其诞生于1636年,最早由马萨诸塞州殖民地立法机关创建,初名新市民学院,是为了纪念在成立初期给予学院慷慨支持的约翰·哈佛牧师。

学校于1639年3月更名为哈佛学院。

1780年,哈佛学院正式改称哈佛大学。

截止2014年,学校有本科生6700余人,硕士及博士研究生14500余人。

文化传统校训拉丁原文:Amicus Plato,Amicus Aristotle, Sed Magis Amicus VERITAS.“要与柏拉图为友,要与亚里士多德为友,更要与真理为友”。

校徽哈佛大学校徽为传统盾形,寓意坚守、捍卫;底色为哈佛标准色“绯红”。

主体部分以三本书为背景,两本面向上,一本面向下,象征着理性与启示之间的动力关系。

上面的两本书上,分别刻有“VE”和“RI”两组字母,与下面一本书共同构成校训中的“VERITAS”,“VERITAS”在拉丁文中即“真理”。

办学规模院系设置截至2014年,哈佛大学下设13个学院,分别为哈佛大学文理学院、哈佛商学院、哈佛大学设计学院、牙科医学、哈佛大学神学院、教育学院、哈佛法学院、哈佛医学院、哈佛大学公共卫生学院、哈佛大学肯尼迪政治学院、工程与应用科学院、哈佛大学研究生院、哈佛学院,另设有拉德克利夫高等研究学院,总共在46个本科专业[1] 、134个研究生专业招生;其中本科生教育主体由哈佛学院承担。

【历届诺贝尔奖得主(五)】1964年物理学奖,化学奖,生理学或医学奖

【历届诺贝尔奖得主(五)】1964年物理学奖,化学奖,生理学或医学奖

1964年12月10日第六十四届诺贝尔奖物理学奖美国科学家汤斯、苏联科学家巴索夫、普罗霍罗夫因制成微波激射器和激光器而共同获得诺贝尔物理学奖查尔斯·哈德·汤斯,美国物理学家。

1915年7月28日生于南卡罗来纳州格林维尔。

汤斯是一位律师的独生子。

1935年以人成等成绩毕业于故乡的福曼大学。

他在杜克大学获得硕士学位,然后去西部深造,于1939年在加利福尼亚理工学院获得博士学位。

在第二次世界大战期间以及战后的几年中,他在贝实验室从事雷达投弹系统的设计工作。

1948年他遇到拉比。

拉比建议他去哥伦比亚大学。

这正合汤斯的心愿,遂进入哥伦亚大学物理系。

1950年起在那里就任正教授。

课题研究:雷达技术涉及到微波的发射和接收,而微波是指频谱介于红外和无线电波之间的电磁波。

在哥伦比亚大学,汤斯以最全面的方式孜孜不倦地致力于这个课题。

汤斯渴望有一种产生高强度微波的器件。

通常的器件只能产生波长较长的无线电波,若打算用这种器件来产生微波,器件结构的尺寸就必需极小,以致于无实际实现的可能性。

1951年的一个早晨,汤斯坐在华盛顿市一个公园的长凳上等待饭店开门,以便去进早餐。

这时他突然想到,如果用分子,而不用电子线路,不是就可以得到波长足够小的无线电波吗?分子具有各种不同的振动形式,有些人发子的振动正好和微波波段范围的辐射相同。

问题是如何将这些振动转变为辐射。

就氨分子来说,在适当的条件下,它每秒振动24,000,000,000次,因此有可能发射波长为1.25厘米的微波。

他设想通过热或电的方法,把能量泵入氨分子中,使它们处于“激发“状态。

然后,再设想使这些受激的分子处于具有和氨分子的固有频率相同的微波束中---这个微波束的能量可以是很微弱的。

一个单独的氨分子就会受到到这一微波束的作用,以同样波长的数波形式放出它的能量,这一能量双继而作用于另一个氨分子,使它也放出能量。

这个很微弱的入射微波束相当于起立脚点对一场雪崩的促发作用,最后就会产生一个很强的微波束。

美高学霸心目中的美国名校排行榜

美高学霸心目中的美国名校排行榜

/美高学霸心目中的美国名校排行榜哈佛肯尼迪政府学院克里斯·艾沃瑞教授费时好几年,跟踪调查了3240名美高学霸,看他们在择校时如何抉择,最终制作出这份可能是最有参考价值的65所美国大学排行榜。

非常值得国内学生、家长参考。

当一个学生在杜克和布朗之间选择布朗时,还不能说明什么,但是如果1000个同学同时拿到杜克和布朗的录取时,最后700个选择了布朗,我们就可以下结论在美国家庭中布朗比杜克更受欢迎,在学生心目中的排名更高。

根据这个原理,哈佛肯尼迪政府学院克里斯·艾沃瑞教授费时好几年,跟踪调查了3240名美高学霸,看他们在择校时如何抉择,最终制作出这份可能是最有参考价值的65所美国大学排行榜。

也非常值得国内学生、家长参考。

惊心动魄的申请季刚刚结束,很多学生都拿到了不止一个Offer,有时很容易做出选择,但有时选择起来是件很头疼的事情,尤其是大学排名差不多的时候:杜克大学还是布朗大学?弗吉尼亚大学还是密歇根大学?乔治亚理工还是加州圣迭戈分校?华盛顿大学(圣路易斯)还是圣母大学?如果涉及到文理学院和综合大学的比较那就更难了,因为迄今还没有普遍接受的比较两类学校的排名:威廉姆斯学院还是芝加哥大学?波莫纳学院还是约翰霍普金斯大学?瓦萨学院还是北卡教堂山?今天我给大家介绍一下美国3240名高中学霸的选校经验。

这些学生在申请季都拿到了多个Offer,她们的取舍基本反映了美国好学生对各个大学的真实喜好。

当一个学生在杜克和布朗之间选择布朗时,还不能说明什么,但是如果1000个同学同时拿到杜克和布朗的录取时,最后700个选择了布朗,我们就可以下结论在美国家庭中布朗比杜克更受欢迎,在学生心目中的排名更高。

这样的排名是通过真刀真枪血淋淋PK出来的,从某种角度讲比US News的排名更加权威,更加有说服力,对国内的家长学生也更有参考价值。

当然进行这样的总结是个浩大的工程,同时需要高深的数理模型,不是一般人就能做到的,我今天要说的实际是哈佛肯尼迪政府学院克里斯·艾沃瑞教授费时几年的研究成果。

Summa cum laude
Summa cum laude is a Latin phrase that means “with highest honor,” and is used in academic settings to recognize students who have demonstrated a history of exceptional performance. The honor is almost always dependent of grades and academic record, but it may also include some reflection of extracurricular activities and overall well-roundedness. Latin honors were once reserved only for undergraduate university students, but the tradition has spread to a range of schools at varying levels. How the honor is earned and what exactly it means can vary from place to place, but it is always very prestigious.
Hierarchy of Honors
Latin honors typically come in three varieties, representing three primary levels of achievement. Cum laude, which mean s “with honor,” is the first and most basic distinction; next comes magna cum laude, which translates to “with great honor.” Both are considered quite prestigious and praiseworthy, but neither quite approaches the “summa” distinction in either value or rar ity. The highest honor distinction is, in most cases, reserved for those who are truly unmatched in academic pursuits. These students typically graduate at the very top of their classes.
Timing of Award
It is customary for Latin honors to be awarded at the conclusion of studies, normally at graduation. This way, students can be distinguished based on their cumulative good work. Simply doing well in one class or during one academic term or year is not usually enough to qualify. Success must be sustained over time in almost all cases.
Graduates who have earned the summa cum laude honor are usually specially announced during the graduation ceremony and will often wear special ribbons, sashes, or cords to further set them apart from their peers. The distinction is traditionally printed next to graduates' names in the program and, in most cases, will also appear on the diploma and all formal transcripts as well.
Who Is Eligible
Latin honors remain most common at the undergraduate level, particularly in North America and Europe, but they can be used in any academic institution that chooses to do so. It may be possible, for example, to find Latin honors in middle and high schools, as well as in some graduate programs. There are no firm boundaries or rules about who is eligible and who is not, and as such, the award can mean slightly different things in different places. It is always highly prestigious, but there is no universal rule about what, exactly, it signifies, nor is there any formula to earning it in most cases.
Requirements
The summa cum laude award, like all Latin honors, is generally determined based on grade point average — students who receive this honor typically have near perfect academic records. Schools
may add additional requirements, however, such as extracurricular activities or community service involvement. Some programs might also require eligible students to write an honors thesis or participate in an advanced seminar or series of honors courses in order to prove their worthiness. Nominations from professors and peers may also be required.
Students who are interested in learning about Latin honors within a specific school structure should speak to a knowledgeable representative relatively early on in their academic career. Academic counselors and department heads are usually in the best position to help students understand exactly what is required, as well as how they can best position themselves to be in the running.
Ramifications Past Graduation
Being able to say that one has graduated summa cum laude isn't just a bragging point. Latin honors usually become part of a student’s permanent record, and as such allows him or her to stand out from the crowd on job applications, in graduate school admissions, and in competitions for scholarships and other awards. Having "summa" status often conveys not only book smarts but also superior organization and the ability to balance work and life. Having this distinction can set applicants apart and can be the key to getting ahead, whether in a career or in further schooling.。
