chinese restaurants have played an important role in american history, as a matter of fact. the cuban missile crisis was resolved in a chinese restaurant called yenching palace in washington, d.c., which unfortunately is closed now, and about to be turned into walgreen's. and the house that john wilkes booth planned the assassination of abraham lincoln is actually also now a chinese restaurant called wok 'n roll, on h street in washington.

事实上，中国餐馆在美国历史上发挥了很重要的作用。古巴导弹危机是在华盛顿一家名叫燕京馆的中餐馆里解决的。很不幸，这家餐馆现在关门了，即将被改建成沃尔格林连锁药店。而约翰·威尔克斯·布斯刺杀林肯总统的那所房子现在也成了一家中餐馆，就是位于华盛顿的锅和卷。

and if you think about it, a lot of the foods that you think of or we think of or americans think of as chinese food are barely recognizable to chinese, for example: beef with broccoli, egg rolls, general tso's chicken, fortune cookies, chop suey, the take-out boxes.

如果你仔细想想，就会发现很多你们所认为或我们所认为，或是美国人所认为的中国食物，中国人并不认识。比如西兰花牛肉、蛋卷、左宗棠鸡、幸运饼干、杂碎、外卖盒子。

so, the interesting question is, how do you go from fortune cookies being something that is japanese to being something that is chinese? well, the short answer is, we locked up all the japanese during world war ii, including those that made fortune cookies, so that's the time when the chinese moved in, kind of saw a market opportunity and took over.

所以有趣的是，幸运饼干是怎么从日本的东西变成中国的东西的呢?简单地说，我们在二战时扣押了所以的日本人，包括那些做幸运饼干的。这时候，中国人来了，看到了商机，自然就据为己有了。

尊敬的各位领导、老师、亲爱的同学们：

大家好!

今天我演讲的题目是：《我爱读书》!

在蓝蓝的天空中，是谁最快乐?是鸟儿，因为蓝天给了鸟儿一双坚硬的翅膀;在茫茫在大海中，是谁最欢畅?是鱼儿，因为大海给了鱼儿一片广阔的世界;如果你问我做什么事最开心，我会毫不犹豫地回答：读书!因为书给了我无穷的知识，书给了我智慧的头脑，书给了我一个广阔的世界。我认为世界上最快乐的事就是读书。书贵在读，贵在捧在手中的那一份珍惜，打开读时的那一份虔诚。当你读书时，你的思维在书中神游，你的情感在书中起落，书的魅力便在于此。

小时候，我是在妈妈的故事中长大的。在每个夜晚，在柔和的灯光下，妈妈开始给我讲书上有趣的故事，听着听着，我慢慢地、不知不觉地就进入了甜美的梦乡——在悠蓝色的夜空中，我仿佛成了一颗长着翅膀的小星星，在宇宙中自由自在地翱翔……忽然，我梦见自己变成了故事中的小鹿斑比、善良的小矮人、可怜的流浪狗、流浪猫……听着妈妈那些神奇美丽的故事，盯着妈妈手中的书，我开始知道，原来书中有那么多有趣的故事呢!从那时起我就开始喜爱书籍了。

闲暇时，我喜欢一个人沉浸在书的海洋里，静静品味书中的故事。我曾为卖火柴的小女孩流下同情的泪花;也曾为《皇帝的新衣》中愚蠢的皇帝而捧腹大笑;更为居里夫人、诺贝尔他们追求科学，坚强执着的精神而感动。我就像一只勤劳的小蜜蜂，不知疲倦地在书的百花园采集花粉，又好像一块海绵，日夜不停地在知识的海洋中吸水。我从书中吸取了无穷的智慧和力量。长大后，我对书中的故事含义有了更深刻的理解。大诗人歌德曾说过“读一本好的书，就像和一群高尚的人对话。”是的，一本好的书，能给予我们精神的力量。文学大师们有着敏锐的、洞察的目光，将自己的所见渗入到自己的思想之中，与读者们在书本中交流，因此，书中便有了大师们的精神。《巴黎圣母院》充满着雨果对腐朽社会教会的愤怒，洋溢着他对爱，对人道主义的向往，书中始终闪烁着人性的光芒;《阿q正传》如同针一般刺入国人麻木不仁的肌肤;《论语》中流露出孔子诲人不倦的身影;普希金的诗歌中洋溢着对邪恶统治的痛恨……它们教会了我识别善与恶，教会了我去行善，去痛恨邪恶。我从书中学会了欣赏，学会了真、善、美，我从书中体会到了博爱，了解了作恶的下场。

在读书的过程中，我也遇到过种.种困难。当我读书不求甚解，囫囵吞枣时，老师教导我：读书而不思考，等于吃饭而不消化;当我对书中的话语百思不得其解时，妈妈鼓励我：书读百遍，其义自见;当我写日记写作文感到笔下枯竭时，老师告诉我：读书而不积累，就象一个人身入宝山，却空手而回;当我在书店不加选择随意借看时，妈妈建议我：读一本好书，就是和许多高尚的人说话，反之还不如不读。渐渐地我明白了，读书要读好书，读书要积累，读书更要思考。

我爱读书。书是知识的宝库，是她，开阔了我的视野，丰富了我的生活;书是人类的阶梯，是她，帮助我不断提高，不断进步;书是快乐的源泉，是她，带给我幸福，带给我满足。读书，真好!

美文演讲稿篇3

早上好!根据《中华人民共和国野生动物保护法》规定，每年十一月为全国保护野生动物宣传月。早在100多年前，意大利传教士圣·弗朗西斯就倡导在每年的10月4日向献爱心给人类的动物们致谢。为了纪念他，人们把10月4日定为世界动物日。每年的这一天，世界各国的人们都会以不同的形式开展爱护动物的各种活动。

人类进化的每一步都离不开我们身边的动物。不幸的是，随着城市的扩张、环境的污染、人类对自然资源的无度开采，动物的家园被侵犯了，它们的生命正受到威胁。从娱乐项目中作为活靶子的野兔，到身体里永远插着管子被活取胆汁的月牙熊;从顷刻间轰然倒下的百年老林，到可可西里依偎在母亲尸体旁取暖的小藏羚羊……无不记着人类对动物、对大自然犯下的罪行。

在这个孤寂的星球上，动物是我们的芳邻，大自然是我们的家。爱护动物、保护环境就是爱护我们自己。同学们，一个人保护动物的能力有限，如果大家联合起来，力量就会无限!让我们每个人从不吃野生动物;做动物的好朋友，不残害动物;用实际行动宣传和落实动物保护措施;对残害动物的行为予以谴责和举报做起，以实际行动去抚平动物们流血的创口;构筑一顶屋檐，为那弱小的生命挡风遮雨;生出一对翅膀，插在地球背上，让她能够飞翔!

同学们，让我们提高自己的生态道德文明意识，为进一步营造保护野生动植物、保护生态环境的良好氛围而努力吧!

i donsquo;t know what that dream is that you have, i donsquo;t care how disappointing it might have been as yousquo;ve been working toward that dream, but that dream that yousquo;re holding in your mind, that itsquo;s possible!

some of you already know, that itsquo;s hard, itsquo;s not easy, itsquo;s hard changing your life. that in the process of working on your dreams you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. there are moments that you are going to doubt yourself. you said, god why is this happening to me? isquo;m just trying to take care of my family, trying to give them a good life, isquo;m not trying to steal or rob from anybody. why does this have to happen to me. for those of you that have experienced some hardships – donsquo;t give up on your dream.

the rough times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass. greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive, god like feature that only the special among can achieve. itsquo;s something that truly exists, in all of us. itsquo;s very important for you to believe that you are the one!

most people they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die. they stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, the stop pushing themselves. then a lot of people like to complain but they donsquo;t wanna do anything about their situation. and most people donsquo;t work on their dreams – why?

1. is because of fear, fear of failure what if things donsquo;t work out?

2. is fair of success what if they do and i cansquo;t handle it?

these are not risk takers
