 (Unhealthy Lifestyle)

  I have an unhealthy lifestyle, so I am not healthy. I never exercise. I take a bus to school every morning. My eating habits are very bad. I eat too much meat and a few vegetables. I eat fruit once or twice a week. I like junk food very much. I eat it twice a day. I never drink milk. I sleep seven hours every night. So I think I am unhealthy. Now, I know good health will help me get good grades. So you see, I am looking after my health now.

  Greetings, alumni, graduates, families, and friends. It is such a pleasure to see you all here and offer congratulations on this day of celebration. I am in the unenviable role of warm-up act for one of the greatest storytellers of our – or any other – time. Nevertheless, my assignment is to offer a few reflections on this magnificent institution at this moment in its history. And what a moment it is!

  From comments of astonished pundits ontelevision, in print, and online, to conversations withbewildered friends and colleagues, the question seems unavoidable and mesmerizing: What isgoing on? What is happening to the world? The tumultuous state of American politics,spotlighted in this contentious presidential contest; the political challenges around the globefrom Brazil to Brexit; the Middle East in flames; a refugee crisis in Europe; terrorists exploitingnew media to perform chilling acts of brutality and murder; climate-related famine in Africaand fires in Canada. It is as if we are being visited by the horsemen of the apocalypse with war,famine, natural disaster and, yes, even pestilence – as Zika spreads, aided by politicalcontroversy and paralysis.

  As extraordinary as these times may seem to us, Harvard reminds us we have been herebefore. It is in some ways reassuring at this 365th Commencement to recall all that Harvardhas endured over centuries. A number of these festival rites took place under clouds of war;others in times of financial crisis and despair; still others in face of epidemics – from smallpoxin the 17th century to the devastating flu of 1918 to the H1N1 virus just a few years ago.Harvard has not just survived these challenges, but has helped to confront them. We sing inour alma mater about 'Calm rising through change and through storm.' What does that meanfor today's crises? Where do universities fit in this threatening mix? What can we do? Whatshould we do? What must we do?

  We are gathered today in Tercentenary Theatre, with Widener Library and Memorial Churchstanding before and behind us, enduring symbols of Harvard's larger identity and purposes,testaments to what universities do and believe at a time when we have never needed themmore. And much is at stake, for us and for the world.

  We look at Widener Library and see a great edifice, a backdrop of giant columns where photosare taken and 27 steps are worn down ever so slightly by the feet of a century of students andscholars. We also see a repository of learning, with 57 miles of shelving at the heart of a librarysystem of some 17 million books, a monument to reason and knowledge, to the collection andpreservation of the widest possible range of beliefs, and experiences, and facts that fuel freeinquiry and our constantly evolving understanding. A vehicle for Veritas – for exploring thepath to truth wherever it may lead. A tribute to the belief that knowledge matters, that factsmatter – in the present moment, as a basis for the informed decisions of individuals, societies,and nations; and for the future, as the basis for new insight. As James Madison wrote in 1822, 'a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power thatknowledge gives.' Or as early 20th-century civil rights activist Nannie Helen Burroughs put it, 'education is democracy's life insurance.'

  Evidence, reason, facts, logic, an understanding of history and of science. The ability to know,as former dean Jeremy Knowles used to put it, 'when someone is talking rot.' These are thebedrock of education, and of an informed citizenry with the capacity to lead, to explore, toinvent. Yet this commitment to reason and truth – to their pursuit and preeminence –seems increasingly a minority viewpoint. In a recent column, George Will deplored thenation's evident abandonment of what he called 'the reality principle – the need to assessand adapt to facts.' Universities are defined by this principle. We produce a ready streamof evidence and insights, many with potential to create a better world.

  So what are our obligations when we see our fundamental purpose under siege, our reasonfor being discounted and undermined? First, we must maintain an unwavering dedication torigorous assessment and debate within our own walls. We must be unassailable in ourinsistence that ideas most fully thrive and grow when they are open to challenge. Truthcannot simply be claimed; it must be established – even when that process isuncomfortable. Universities do not just store facts; they teach us how to evaluate, test,challenge, and refine them. Only if we ourselves model a commitment to fact over whatStephen Colbert so memorably labeled as 'truthiness' (and he also actually sometimes called it'Veritasiness!'), only then can we credibly call for adherence to such standards in public lifeand in a wider world.

  We must model this commitment for our students, as we educate them to embrace theseprinciples – in their work here and in the lives they will lead as citizens and leaders of nationaland international life. We must support and sustain fact and reason beyond our walls as well.And we must do still more.

  Facing Widener stands Memorial Church. Built in the aftermath of World War I, it was intendedto honor and memorialize responsibility – not just the quality of men and women's thoughts,but, as my predecessor James Conant put it, 'the radiance of their deeds.' The more than1,100 Harvard and Radcliffe students, faculty, and alumni whose names are engraved on itswalls gave their lives in service to their country, because they believed that some things hadgreater value than their own individual lives. I juxtapose Widener Library and Memorial Churchtoday because we need the qualities that both represent, because I believe that reason andknowledge must be inflected with values, and that those of us who are privileged to be part ofthis community of learning bear consequent responsibilities.

  Now, it may surprise some of you to hear that this is not an uncontroversial assertion. For thismorning's ceremony, I wore the traditional Harvard presidential robe – styled on thegarment of a Puritan minister and reminding us of Harvard's origins. Values were an integralpart of the defining purpose of the early years of Harvard College, created to educate a learnedministry. Up until the end of the 1800s, most American college presidents taught a course onmoral philosophy to graduating students. But with the rise of the research university in the latenineteenth and early twentieth century, moral and ethical purposes came to be seen as atodds with the scientific thinking transforming higher education.

  But in today's world, I believe it is dangerous for universities not to fully acknowledge andembrace their responsibilities to values and to service as well as to reason and discovery.There is no value-free science. There is no algorithm that writes itself. The questions we chooseto ask and the research we decide to support; the standards of integrity we expect of ourcolleagues and students; the community we build and the model we offer: All of this is centralto who we are.

  We can see these values clearly in the choices and passions of our faculty and students: in themotto of Harvard Business School, which you heard this morning uttered by the dean, thecommitment to make 'a difference in the world.' Most of the University would readilyembrace this sentiment. In the enthusiasm of students and faculty, we see it as well. Fromacross the University – graduate, professional, and hundreds of undergraduates – we see aremarkable enthusiasm, for example, for the field of global health because it unites thepower of knowledge and science with a deeply-felt desire to do good in the world – to lead livesof meaning and purpose. This spirit animates not just global health but so much of all we do.Harvard is and must be a community of idealists. And today, we send thousands of you –doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, philosophers, business people, epidemiologists, publicservants – into the world.

  For our youngest students, those just beginning to shape their adult lives, those who todayreceived what the ritual language of Commencement calls 'their first degree,' for them, thesequestions of values and responsibility take on particular salience. Harvard College is aresidential community of learning with a goal, in the words of its dean, of personal and socialas well as intellectual transformation. Bringing students of diverse backgrounds to livetogether and learn from one another enacts that commitment, as we work to transformdiversity into belonging. In a world divided by difference, we at Harvard strive to be united byit. In myriad ways we challenge our students to be individuals of character as well as oflearning. We seek to establish standards for the College community that advance ourinstitutional purposes and values. We seek to educate people, not just minds; our highestaspiration is not just knowledge, but wisdom.

  Reason and responsibility. Widener and Memorial Church. Harvard and the world. We have avery special obligation in a very difficult time. May we and the students we send forth todayembrace it. Thank you very much.

I just bought a home, my mother didn't let me move, please speak a coach to teach me, but I don't believe in evil, I opened the package, the helmet, knee, palm to wear etc. altogether, such as good arm, mother came to help me, I pushed my mother's hand, and leaning on the sofa the wall step by step on the balcony of norway. On the balcony, I grabbed the burglar window, and practiced on the left and right for a short time. In less than half an hour, I could slip away, so I shouted to my mother, "Mom, look at me, I will." Who knows the voice has just fallen, I just sat down on the ground, and we laughed together: why not? Laughing, climbing up and practicing, so, two days after falling and falling down, there was a skating boy coming and going like the wind.

  I have many hobbies in sports outside, also love singing, playing the piano, when done in a command, the school's literary activities. But I love the most is reading, therefore, my mother called "little bookworm."

  我是一个其貌不扬的男孩,在同龄人中,不高不矮,不胖不瘦,长着一双小眼睛,略微不同之处是我的皮肤很白,妈妈说,好象是豆腐做的,但我的毅力和勇气 却如同钢铁般坚韧,决不含糊。

  去年暑假的时候,妈妈给我买了一双溜冰鞋。刚买回家的时候,妈妈不让我乱动,说得请个教练教我,可我不信邪,我打开包装,把头盔、护膝、护掌等一股脑儿往身上戴,等武装好后,妈妈过来想帮我,我推开妈妈的手,扶着沙发和墙壁一步一步往阳台上挪。在阳台上,我抓住防盗窗,左一下右一下地练习迈步,不到半小时,我就可以放手滑动了,于是我冲妈妈大喊:“妈妈,快看我,我会了。”谁知话音刚落,我就一屁股坐到了地上,我们不约而同地大笑:怎么没有护屁股的呢?一边笑,一边爬起来接着练,就这样,在摔摔倒倒的两天后,家里出现了一个来去如风的.滑冰男孩。

  我爱好广泛,除运动以外,还喜欢唱歌、弹琴,在学校的文艺活动中当过指挥、做过领唱。但我最喜欢的是看书,为此,被妈妈叫做“小书虫。”

  也许是我做事不够认真和积极,我创造了一个“神话”—连续六年副班长。每学期开学,那个“副”字总跟着我,让我顿失阳刚之气。我常梦想,为什么月蚀时没有蚀到那个“副字”呢?没有这个“副”字我不就扬眉吐气了吗?嘿嘿…加油!

英语作文 篇6

  "The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time."

  The speaker contends that technology's primary goal should be to increase our efficiency for the purpose of affording us more leisure time. I concede that technology has enhanced our efficiency as we go about our everyday lives. Productivity software helps us plan and coordinate projects; intranets, the Internet, and satellite technology make us more efficient messengers; and technology even helps us prepare our food and access entertainment more efficiently. Beyond this concession, however, I find the speaker's contention indefensible from both an empirical and a normative standpoint.

  The chief reason for my disagreement lies in the empirical proof: with technological advancement comes diminished leisure time. In 1960 the average U.S. family included only one breadwinner, who worked just over 40 hours per week. Since then the average work week has increased steadily to nearly 60 hours today; and in most families there are now two breadwinners. What explains this decline in leisure despite increasing efficiency that new technologies have brought about? I contend that technology itself is the culprit behind the decline. We use the additional free time that technology affords us not for leisure but rather for work. As computer technology enables greater and greater office productivity it also raises our employers' expectations--or demands--for production. Further te
