Nothing Scucceeds Without a Strong Willby commenting on the humorous saying, Quitting smoking is the eaiest thing in the world. Iva done it hundreds of times. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

As the proverb says Its easier said than done. Its a truth universally acknowledged that a strong will leads to success. However, many individuals fail to achieve success due to lack of a strong will. There are several reasons attributing to it.

Among all these factors, the most indispensible one is the lack of persistence. Most people keep on saying that theyd like to quit smoking, yet they fail to give it up. Furthermore, those who seldom attach great importance to what they would accomplish cannot succeed. They are unconscious of what matters during the process.

Taking all above-mentioned factors into consideration, we may reasonably come to the conclusion that success needs a strong will and persistence. Awareness of the significance of the matter is critical. Only in this way can we make great progress and eventually achieve success.

1-7、北京奥运(虽然奥运已经过去，但其中的优美词语和描写方法仍有很大价值!)

The Beijing 20xx Summer Olympics logo has a single Chinese character on a traditional red Chinese seal. The English words Beijing 20xx are written with a Chinese brush below it. At the bottom of the picture, there are the five rings of Olympic Games. The figure in the logo resembles a runner or dancer and the Chinese character jing which means capital.

The image carries the message that todays China is not only a nation with a long and glorioushistory, but also one full of modern dynamics. First and foremost, this logo is a journey to the future, the emblem for China moving towards the 20xx Olympic Games. What is more, it is a symbol of the citys promise to make the Games a success. Accordingly， this emblem represents the heart of an ancient culture embracing the modern world, the spirit of a people moving towards a new destiny.

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 ard 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 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 e 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 ard 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.

爱的力量

In a year the situation of Mr. Ralph Spencer was this: he had won the respect of most of the inhabitants of the place, his shoe-store was prospering, and he and Annabel were to be married in two weeks. Mr. Adams, Annabel’s father, who was a typical country banker, approved of Spencer. Annabel herself was very proud of her fiancé. In fact her pride almost equaled her affection. Jimmy was as much at home in the family of Mr. Adams and that of Annabel’s married sister as if he were already a member.

One day Jimmy sat down in his room and wrote this letter which he sent to the address of one his old friends: “Dear Old Chap,I want you to be at Brown’s Cafe, in Little Rock, next Wednesday night at nine o’clock. I want you to do something for me. And, also, I want to make you a present of my tools. I know you’ll be glad to get them—you couldn’t get such a set for a thousand dollars. Say, Billy, I gave up the old business—a year ago. I’ve got a nice store. I’m making an honest living, and in two weeks I’m going to marry the finest girl on earth. It’s the only life, Billy, the straight one. I wouldn't’ touch a dollar of another man’s money now for a million. After I get married I’m going to sell my store and go west, where there won’t be so much danger of meeting people who knew me before. I tell you, Billy, she’s an angel. She believes in me and I would never do another crooked thing for the whole world. Do come to Brown’s, for I must see you. I’ll bring the tools with old friend, Jimmy.”

On the Monday night after Jimmy wrote this letter, Ben Price, the detective, arrived in Elmore. He walked about the town quietly until he found out what he wanted to know. From the drugstore across the street from Spencer’s shoe-store he got a good look at Ralph D. Spencer.

Yes, it was worthwhile investing money in the shoe business, he thought. There wasn’t a shoe-store in the place. The dry-goods and general stores sold them. Business in all lines was fairly good.

“I hope, Mr. Spencer, you’ll decide to stay in Elmore. You’ll find it a pleasant town to live in, and the people are very nice,” continued the clerk.

Mr. Spencer said that he would stop in the town for a few days and consider the situation.

The clerk wanted to call the boy to carry up the suitcase, but Mr. Spencer said that he needn’t do it. He would carry his suitcase himself; it was rather heavy. Mr. Ralph Spencer, the phoenix that arose from Jimmy Valentine’s ashes—ashes left by the flame of a sudden attack of love—remained in Elmore and prospered. He opened a shoe-store and made large profits. In all other respects he was also a success.

He was popular with many important people and had many friends. And he accompanied the wish of his heart. He met Miss Annabel Adams, and fell more and more deeply in love with her.

The only way to travel is on foot.
