What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was  to skip buying subway tickets.  in order to save  money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway  times.

From this story, we   that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will come out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the  rule.

That's all for my speech. Thank you!

    [1]Four years after graduating from college, Luo Jiajia, 36, answered an inner (内心的) calling to lead a more meaningful life. She noticed that environmental problems were becoming more serious, but little action was being taken. She decided to join environmental protection efforts, so that future generations may also enjoy nature.

    [2]Now, Luo works for the China Green Foundation (CGF)—an organization ①_________tries to improve reforestation (再造林) and encourage people to take part in environmental protection in China. It's also active in the international community

    [3]Luo's main work concerns the Million Forest Project. The project started 10 years ago. Its goal is to plant 1 million trees in the Tengger Desert, China's fourth-largest desert in inner Mongolia. Over 100 million trees have been ②_________to fight desertification (沙漠化). Luo helps support the project by brainstorming different fundraising (筹资) activities and organizing events.

    [4]The project has brought many advantages to local communities. Without the project, many locals would have been forced to leave their ③__________as eco-refugees (生态难民). Luo's project has also helped to find jobs for locals. They can make money by selling the fruit that the trees produce. Eco-tourism (生态旅游) has been more popular because these areas have become an oasis (绿洲) in the desert.

    [5]"It's not possible for you to plant a tree every day, but if you have a tree in your heart then you can take care of the whole environment. If we make the effort to change the inside, we can also change the outside world," Luo said. So the slogan (标语) of Million Forest was changed to "Plant a tree in your heart".

the party, five guests still hadn't come.

    A man came home from work late, tired and unhappy. He found his 5-year -old son waiting for him at the door.

    The boy asked, "Daddy, how much do you make every hour?" The father was angry at his son's question. When he said $20 an hour, the little boy asked him for $ 10. The father was even angrier because he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. So he didn't answer his son.

    The little boy quietly went to his room. After about an hour, the man calmed himself down (使....平静) and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10.

    "Maybe I was too hard on you just now, "the man went into his son's room and said." Here's the $ 10 you asked for."

    "Oh, thank you, Daddy!" The little boy said. Then he reached under his pillow (枕头), pulled out some crumpled (皱的) money and said, "Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow, I really want to have supper with you."

In ancient times, people's only transportation means（方式）was their feet. So it was difficult for them to travel from one place to another. As a result, they knew few things about the outside world. The world was too big for them to understand.

With the development of modern science and technology(技术), more and more transportation means appear: bicycle, bus, car, train, ship, plane, etc. They carry goods and passengers to every corner of the world. And they shorten(缩短) the distance(距离) between people. With the help of these modern facilities (设备），people all over the world can stay in touch with each other.

So it's easier for people from different nations to understand each other and to communicate with each other. Thus, this world is getting smaller and smaller, just like one big family.

    Everyone has a beautiful memory about school which is hard to forget. Among many things, relationships are the hardest to leave behind. Some schools try to stop students' puppy love in different ways. Anything about “love” relationship is not allowed. For example, a middle school in Fu'an, Fujian Province forbids (禁止) boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time; a middle school in Luohe, Henan Province sets rules that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other classmates, and if they meet in private they will be asked to go home with parents for more than a week and even advised to leave school; a middle school in Jinan, Shandong Province forbids everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them form the opposite sex (异性). It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires a “44 cm” distance between boys and girls.

    Some students are not satisfied with such rules. “Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat? It's not using bathrooms!” Some people who care about the intelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules. For this, I'd like to say that middle school students are going through puberty (青春期). It's normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex. Schools should provide correct guidance and education instead of giving simple and cruel rules and asking the students to follow.
