As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to deliver a "last lecture. This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.The only difference in Pausch,s case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only motivated him more. He delivered his last lecture, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams“ on Sept. 18, 2007.Pausch began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams, some of which he had achieved and the others he hadn't. He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don't always succeed. He shared the values learned through experience, which he hoped to pass on to others: They were hard work, laughter and gratitude, honesty, character.Pausch's last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention. It became a crazy YouTube hit, and in October 2007, he presented an abridged （删减的）version on "The Oprah Winfrey Show”. He turned the lecture into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were deeply moved by the book's representation of Pausch,s lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation-his three young children.Pausch passed away on July 25, 2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture and his book. He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give up our childhood dreamsa source of inspiration that can never run dry.翻译：滑铁卢社区学区的学生最近参加了以砖石技术为中心的建筑培训用石头、砖或混 凝土材料完成的工作。W.读后续写Once upon a time there was a beautiful garden in which grew all sorts of fruits. Many beasts lived in the garden and they were permitted to eat the fruits whenever they wished. But they should observe one rule. They must make a low, polite bow to the fruit tree, call it by its name and say, “Please give me a taste of your fruit. " They had to be very careful to remember the tree's correct name and not to forget to say “please”. It was also very important that they should remember not to be greedy. They must always leave plenty of fruits for other beasts who might pass that way, and to adorn （装饰）the tree itself and to furnish seeds so that other trees might grow. If they wished to eat apples, they had to say, “O, apple tree, O, apple tree, please give me a taste of your fruit. ”In one corner of the garden grew the most splendid tree of all. It was tall and beautiful and the rosy-cheeked fruit upon its wide spreading branches looked wonderfully tempting. No beast had ever tasted that fruit, for no beast could ever remember its name. In a tiny house near the edge of the garden lived a little old woman who knew the names of all the fruit trees in the garden. The beasts often went to her and asked the name of the wonderful fruit tree, but the tree was so distant from the tiny house of the little old woman that no beast could ever remember the long, hard name by the time he reached the fruit tree.At last a monkey thought of a trick. He went to the tiny house of the little old woman, carrying his guitar under his arm. The old woman told him the long, hard name of the fruit tree, and he made up a little tune to it. He sang it over and over again all the way to the tree. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。At last he reached the corner of the garden where the wonderful fruit tree grew.The monkey returned from the tree and met other beasts in a gardenparty.【参考范文】At last he reached the corner of the garden where the wonderful fruit tree grew. It was easy for him to remember the name of the tree because he had turned it into a song, and he sang them over and over again so that he could not forget it. Only the clever monkey remembered the name of the tree. He bowed his head to the tree, politely called the tree's name, and said: "Please give me a taste of your fruit. " The tree generously handed him some fruit. The monkey succeeded in getting the fruit and was very happy.The monkey returned from the tree and met other beasts in a garden party. The monkey, who was not greedy or selfish, was willing to share the delicious fruit with others. He carefully taught them to sing the name of the tree. Accompanied by a guitar, all the beasts politely asked the tree to give them some fruit. The fruit tree distributed its fruit generously. A cheer went up in the forest, and everyone praised the monkey for his wisdom and virtue. They all thanked the generous fruit tree and the wise monkey.【文章大意】本文讲述了身患胰腺癌的波什教授做最后的演讲，激励我们不要放弃自己的梦 木目Why was Pausch asked to give his “last lecture”？ A. To teach the students.B.

Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper-and its reportersare fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive.A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 1() years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too.Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn't daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don't print as many copies. And UNC's The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget.Considering the problems in journalism, it's surprising that the enrollment(注册人数)in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has," he says.But journalism educators wonder, "Are we preparing young people fbr a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today's jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism.The news isn't all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18-and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I'm optimistic. Maddy Arrowood isthe student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism "comes from knowing that people still need news.
