Life is a continuous process of fighting and one cannot achieve success without effort. Sparing no effort shows that one fears no difficulties. Striving for a definite goal with such perseverance and determination is a valuable quality.One should not stop trying until one has obtained one's dream. Everybody should have this spirit of persistence because one cannot attain anything without exerting oneself. One of the waiters at Tsinghua University, for example, received a full score on his TOEFL examination. He earned this score through diligence and self?discipline. Regardless of the task you are undertaking, whether it be preparing for a university examination, or working towards a career，you should always give all your effort. Only when you work hard can you achieve success. ?
Although one might think that one can complete a job without sparing any effort, this is never true. Perhaps being a top student in primary or middle school did not take much effort or energy. Or perhaps you did not work as hard as your classmates and were still admitted into a university. Every person's life includes many troubles therefore it is important to both work as hard as possible and be prepared for life's difficulties.

这幅照片抓住了雅典奥运会上的一幕，当刘翔向110米跨栏的终点冲去的时候，全世界的人都在激动万分地注视着他。他的精神和意志鼓舞了所有人，而且向世人展示了当一个人拼尽全力时能带来多大的收获。?
生命是一个不断奋斗的过程，没有人可以不劳而获。当一个人全力以赴时就意味着他无所畏惧。能下定决心，坚定不移地朝一个既定目标奋进是一种宝贵的品质。梦想一日没实现，就一日不止步。?
每个人都应具有这种坚韧不拔的精神，因为如果不拼尽全力，就会一无所获。例如，清华大学的一位食堂师傅在托福考试中获得满分，那是他用勤奋和自律换来的。不管你现在面对什么样的任务，是在复习备考，还是为事业而奋斗，你都必须竭尽全力，因为只有这样才能获得成功。?
尽管有人可能会认为一个人不用那么全力以赴也能完成一件工作，但这是不正确的。也许你没费多大劲就在中小学拔尖，又或许你没有像同班同学那样努力也考进了大学。每个人的生命中都充满艰难险阻，所以你必须随时准备面对困难，并为之努力工作。

The photo depicts an exciting scene: the famous athlete Liu Xiang striding forward in the Olympics Games in Athens. Determination is universally regarded asa highly praised quality. It is neither genius nor extraordinary ability that gives us power to deal with and overcome whatever hardship one is confronted with. It is this kind of spirit that enables us to endure the difficult moments and attain our goals. ?
The determined spirit gives us light when we are in dark moments and encourages when we are frustrated. With this quality, no enemy can overwhelm us, and noobstacles can stand in our way. There are many examples of success being achieved solely through the strong will of the spirit. As in the picture, the athlete is running, with a determined spirit, towards the finishing line in order to obtain the gold medal, considered as the symbol of success for any sportsman. It is determination that leads to success. ?
It is not easy to cultivate this determined spirit. To do this, we must establish a firm faith in our actions and be ready to devote ourselves to them. We must boldly go through trials and hardships to train our will so as to get rid of the weak points of our moral character. Around us, there are quite a few people with this intense determination and spirit and set a good example for us to follow.

这幅照片描绘了一个动人的画面：著名运动员刘翔在雅典奥林匹克赛场上奋力拼搏。拼搏精神作为一种很高的素质得到了广泛的赞扬。在解决和克服摆在我们面前的难题的时候，
拼搏精神给了我们力量，但它并不是与生俱来的卓越品质。正是这种精神使我们能够战胜困难，达到目的。?
拼搏精神在黑暗中给我们以光明，在挫折中给我们以勇气。有了这种精神，任何敌人都不能打垮我们，任何困难都不能阻挡我们。有许多例子可以证明，具有拼搏精神才能成功。就像照片中所描绘的，一名运动员正朝终点奋力奔跑，力夺金牌，因为金牌是所有运动员成功的象征。正是这种拼搏精神指引我们走向成功之路。?
培养拼搏精神不是一件简单的事情。为此我们必须树立坚定的信念，并且准备为之献身。我们必须大胆地经受考验，克服困难，磨练意志，从而消除我们性格中的弱点。在我们周围，有好多这样具有拼搏精神的人们， 为我们树立了良好的榜样。 九、

The scene above depicts multiple rows of students in the midst of a graduation ceremony. Their academic caps and gowns signify that they have successfully completed their courses and are preparing to enter into society. The hand in the foreground holds two small screws, implying that such students are the screws that hold society together and ensure it functions properly. ?
Such an analogy encourages us to consider our purpose and place in life. While many people harbor grand desires to improve and change their respective communities and countries, not a single unit could stay together without the screws that hold things in place. Success, therefore, depends on the smaller tools, or pieces, that keep structures from tumbling. Just as screws are the small yet essential objects that strengthen and sustain, we should strive to steadily support the society we live and work within. Without our earnest efforts, communities could not be so securely maintained. ?
The screws also promote a particular sense of perspective. Human society is vast and seemingly boundless, and it also important to be modest. Regardless of how great one's achievements may be, one is still only a single screw in the large machinery. But if you must be a screw, be a strong and shining one!

上图描述了在一次毕业典礼上的几排学生。他们的学位帽和学位服证明他们已经成功地完成了学业，正准备踏入社会。前景中有只手高举着两只小螺丝钉，这象征着这些学生也会做为社会的螺丝钉——连结起整个社会并使它正常运转。?
这个比喻促使我们思考自己的人生目标和定位。虽然很多人心怀增进民生、改变祖国的宏伟抱负，但如果没有“螺丝钉”来使事物各就其位，那一切将会是一盘散沙。所以，成功依赖于那些稳固住整体结构不动摇的小工具、小零件。螺丝钉虽小，但却是巩固和支撑所不可缺少的，我们也要像它一样努力为我们工作、生活其中的社会提供稳固的支持。没有我们严肃认真的支持，社会就不会正常维持下去。?
螺丝钉还赋予我们一种从整体出发来看问题的意识。人类的社会生活是广阔的，仿佛无边无际，所以心怀谦虚是很重要的。无论一个人做出多大的成就，他也只是社会大机器中的一颗螺丝钉，而既然你必须是一颗螺丝钉，那就做一个结实而闪闪发亮的螺丝钉吧！

As can be seen in the picture, there are two screws in a hand in front of college graduates and tutors. It is widely accepted that a screw will devote itself to whatever it is needed to do and wherever it is put. The idea that graduates are superior because they have received higher
education should be discarded.
It goes without saying that every graduate has his own choices regarding his own interests and likes. It is true that graduates will often pursue careers that are not the most ideal. Even though sometimes there may be many unexpected surprises, the love to the country must be put ahead of the love for oneself. Chairman Mao said: “Even if we achieve gigantic successes in our work, there is no reason whatsoever to feel conceited and arrogant.” The graduates who have mastered a lot of knowledge should lend a hand with work wherever they are needed. A screw can be used as a metaphor, because it does not care about difficulties or payment. ?
Thus, graduates should devote themselves and contribute to the country wherever needed. No matter how difficult the living and working conditions are, no matter how much they are paid, and even if they have to sacrifice themselves, they should put what they have learned in school into practice to serve the country.

从这幅照片中，我们看到在即将毕业的大学生和老师面前，一只手高高举起两颗螺丝钉。众所周知，无论一颗螺丝钉被放到哪里，被用来做什么，它总是甘于奉献，无怨无悔。认为大学生获得了高等教育就高人一等的想法应该摒弃。?
毋庸讳言，每个大学生针对自己的兴趣和爱好都有自己的人生选择。可事实上，好多大学生从事的并不是他们心目中理想的职业。尽管有时现实捉弄于人，但对祖国的爱应高于个人的爱。毛主席曾经说过：“尽管我们在工作中取得了巨大的胜利，但也没有理由骄傲和自大。”掌握丰富知识的大学生应该放下架子，哪里需要就在哪里干。螺丝钉就是一种象征，因为它既不怕困难，又不求索取。?
因此，无论哪里需要，大学生都应该勇于奉献并对国家做出贡献。无论生活和工作条件多么艰苦，不计收入高低，甚至牺牲自己的生命，他们都应该把在校学到的知识服务于社会。 十、

美丽不是表面的
范文1：??
In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to others. In the next illustration adisabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind. Despite the girl's youth and beauty, it is the disabled man who is truly beautiful. True beauty comes from one's actions rather than one's appearance.
While most of us enjoy pretty appearances, it is more important to cultivate a clean and beautiful soul. Only such souls can create a genuinely beautiful society. ?
Chinese traditionally uphold the virtues of modesty, generosity, broad?mindedness, and politeness. Confucian teachings such as: “do not do to others as you would not want done to you” and “one should be delighted to hear criticism,” are wise and worthwhile. If people embody these teachings our society can only improve and progress. ?
The thoughts of great minds like Confucius are also worth studying. His writings set fine and noble examples for us to follow. Another proverb thus comes to mind: in the company of three one always can find a teacher. We should always be willing and able to learn from those around us.

在上面的漫画里，一个年轻女子愉快地吃着香蕉，然后随手就把香蕉皮扔到了街上——丝毫没顾及到这样的举动不仅会污染环境，还会给他人带来危险。而在接下来的那幅图中，一位残疾人艰难地把她扔下的垃圾清理掉了。虽然这个女孩年轻貌美，但真正美的是那位残疾人。真正的美是出自行动而不是外表。
虽然我们每个人都喜欢漂亮的外貌，但更重要的是培养纯净、美丽的心灵，只有这样的心灵才能创造出真正美好的社会。?
中国自古推崇谦逊、宽宏、心胸开阔和以礼待人的美德。孔夫子的教导：“己所不欲，勿施于人”、“闻过则喜”是明智的并值得我们遵循。如果人们把这些箴言都落实到生活中，那么我们的社会就会得到改善和进步。?
大思想家孔子的思想是值得我们学习的。他的著述给我们留下了杰出、高尚的楷模让我们效仿。另一句谚语又浮现在我的脑海里：“三人行，必有我师”。我们必须随时愿意和能够向周围的人们学习。
