2、mericans first and foremost. Today we give thanks for blessings that are all too rare in this world.

3、hem that, here in America, no dream is too big if theyre willing to work for it.Were also grateful that this country has always been home to Americans who see these blessings not simply as gifts to enjoy, but as opportunities to give back.

4、or those less fortunate.Right now, as we prepare to gather around our dinner tables, there are families in the northeast who dont have that luxury. Many of them have lost everything to Hurricane Sandyhomes, possessions, even loved ones. And it will be a long time before life goes back to normal.But

5、in the midst of so much tragedy, there are also glimmers of hope. Over the last few weeks, weve seen FEMA personnel, National Guard and first responders working around the clock in hard-hit communities. Weve seen hospital workers using their lunch breaks to distribute supplies. Families offering up

6、extra bedrooms. The fire department advertising free hot showers. Buses full of volunteers coming from hundreds of miles away. Neighbors sharing whatever they havefood, water, electricityand saying again and again how lucky they are to have a roof over their heads.As Americans, we are a bold, genero

9、让我们全面思考的时机，要记住，尽管我们之间仍然存在分歧，我们要永远记住自己是美国人。今天我们感激所获得的恩赐，在当今世界它们还是那么难能可贵。我们可以与心爱的人共度时光，我们可以畅所欲言说出心中所想，我们有勇敢的军人在世界各地捍卫我们的自由，我们可以直视着孩子们的眼睛告诉他们，在这里，在美国，只要你愿意为之努力，就没有什么梦想不能实现。我们感恩，在这里，美国人不仅会把恩赐当作礼物去享受，还会把它们当作回报他人的机会。美国人相信我们有责任去关照那些不幸的人。此时此刻，当我们准备围坐在餐桌前享受感恩节大餐时，在东北还有许多家庭无法享受这些。飓风桑迪使他们失去了一切家园，财产，甚至深爱的亲人。他们的

10、生活还需要很长一段时间才能恢复正常。但在这些悲剧之中，我们仍会看到希望之光。在过去的几周里，我们看到联邦应急管理署的工作人员、民警卫队的军人，以及第一救援人员们在受灾地区不分昼夜地工作。我们看到了医护人员利用午休时间发放救援物资。很多家庭主动献出他们的空闲卧室，消防部门提供免费热水淋浴，巴士满载着来自数百英里以外的志愿者来到灾区。邻居们彼此分享着拥有的一切食物、水、电并且反复诉说能有一个栖身之所是多么幸运。作为美国人，我们英勇、慷慨、宽宏大量。当我们的兄弟姐妹们身处危难时，我们会挽起袖子就去帮忙我们这样做不是为了赞扬或者奖赏，而是因为这是应该做的。因为我们作为一个国家和民族同甘共苦、生死与共。

11、在今天，以及生命中的每一天，总有一些事情值得我们感恩。因此，我要对所有恪尽职守共同创造我们美好家园的美国人说，身为你们的总统我无比荣幸；我要对所有的军人说，身为你们的总司令我无比自豪。再次代表我的家人祝愿你们全家感恩节快乐！重点单词:1. perspective pspektv n. 观点2. luxury lk()r n. 享受3. midst mdst n. 当中，中间4glimmer glm n. 微光重点短语 / 亮点句式：1.

So when I sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked. It changed my life.When my friend Paul Allen and I stared Microsoft 30 years a

16、go, we had a vision of a computer on every desk and in every home, which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. But we believe that personal computer would change the world. And they have.And after 30 years, Im still as inspired by comp

17、uters as I was back in seventh grade.I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventivenessto help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldnt solve on their own.

19、ntelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a respo

20、nsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible.As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant or tragic than the death of a child anywhere else. And that d

23、as in my lifetime.释放你的创造力我是一个乐天派，在内心深处，我一直设想人类的创造力和智慧可以让世界更加美好。自从能记事起，我就酷爱学习新鲜事物、破解难题。上七年级时第一次坐在计算机前，我即刻被它迷上了。它也改变了我的生活。30 年前，我和朋友保罗艾伦创办了微软，当时我们有一个愿望让每个家庭、每张办公桌上都有一台计算机。这在大多数的计算机还如同冰箱一样笨重的年代，听起来似乎太过乐观。但是我们相信个人电脑终将改变世界。事情证明果真如此。30年后，计算机仍像我上七年级时一样给我无限灵感。我相信计算机是这世上最神奇的工具，它激发了我们的好奇心和创造力它帮助我们解决即使最聪明的头脑也无

24、法解决的难题。计算机已经改变了我们的学习方式，为世界各地的孩子们开启了一扇通向大千世界知识的窗户。它帮助我们围绕我们关注的事物建立一个个社区，使我们和那些重要的人保持密切联系，无论他们身在何处。但是，除了能用电脑做出极妙事情之外，我们还能通过许多别的方式在工作中利用我们的创造力和智慧来改善我们的世界。在当今世上仍有许多人，他们最基本的生存需求都无法得到满足。比如，每年仍有数以百万计的人死于那些在发达国家易于预防和治疗的疾病。我认为，我有幸拥有大量财富同时我也有责任去回馈社会。我的妻子梅林达和我致力于为尽可能多的人改善健康和教育.身为人父，我觉得，一个非洲孩子的死亡和任何其他的孩子的死亡所带来的

25、痛苦和悲伤没有什么两样。而使这些孩子们的命运大大改善并没有那么困难。现在的我仍然非常乐观，我坚信即使世界级的难题也有可能取得进展其实这样的事情每天都在发生。我们看到治疗致命疾病的新药和诊断器械不断出现，而且，发展中国家的健康问题也日益受到关注。医药、教育，当然还有技术发展的诸多前景令我无比激动。我相信，在我的有生之年里，凭借人类与生俱来的创造力和主动迎难而上的意志力，我们必将在这些领域取得惊人的成就。重点单词:1. unleash nli vt.解除的束缚2. hooked hkt adj.吸毒成瘾的；入迷的3. vision v()n n.幻象；想象力4. poignant pnjnt ad

29、aughter Bond，One Photo at a Time导读: 15年来，美国的史提芬阿迪斯每年都会和女儿在纽约街头的同一个地方摆同一个姿势拍照。让我们一起来倾听这位有爱的老爸为你讲述他和女儿每年的仪式。Photography has been my passion ever since I was old enough to pick up a camera, but today I want to share with you the 15 most treasured photos of mine, and I didnt take any of them. There were

30、 no art directors, no stylists, no chance for reshoots, not even any regard for lighting. In fact, most of them were taken by random tourists.My story begins when I was in New York City for a speaking engagement, and my wife took this picture of me holding my daughter on her first birthday. Were on

31、the corner of 57th and 5th. We happened to be back in New York exactly a year later, so we decided to take the same picture.Approaching my daughters third birthday, my wife said, Hey, why dont you take Sabina back to New York and make it a father-daughter trip, and continue the ritual? This is when

32、we started asking passing tourists to take the picture.You know, its remarkable how universal the gesture is of handing your camera to a total stranger. No ones ever refused, and luckily no ones ever run off with our camera.Back then, we had no idea how much this trip would change our lives. Its rea

33、lly become sacred to us. This one was taken just weeks after 9/11, and I found myself trying to explain what had happened that day in ways a five-year-old could understand.So these photos are far more than proxies for a single moment, or even a specific trip. Theyre also ways for us to freeze time a

34、nd reflect on our times and how we change from year to year, and not just physically, but in every way. Because while we take the same photo, our perspectives change, and she reaches new milestones, and I get to see life through her eyes, and how she interacts with and sees everything. This very foc

One of the most important things we all make is memories.So I want to share the idea of taking an active role in consciously creating memories. I want to encourage everyone today to get in the shot, and dont h

36、esitate to go up to someone and ask, Will you take our picture? Thank you.史提芬阿迪斯：父女情缘，一年一拍自从我能拿得起相机以来，我一直酷爱摄影。今天我想和你们分享 15张我最珍爱的照片，但是它们都不是我拍的。没有艺术指导，没有造型师，没有重拍的机会，更不用说什么灯光效果。事实上，它们中的大多数都是我随机找来的游客拍的。故事起源于有一次我到纽约做演讲，那天正好是我女儿的一岁生日，我抱着她，我的妻子为我们拍了张照片。我们站在第57大道和第5大道的交界处。巧的是，一年之后，我们又回到了纽约市，于是我们决定再拍一张同样的照片。

37、快到女儿三岁生日时， 我妻子说，嘿，你为什么不带萨比娜回纽约，来个父女之旅，延续这个仪式呢？正是从时起，我们开始请路过的游客帮我们拍照。你们要知道，把相机递给一个陌生人拍照普通却又不普通。没有人拒绝过我们的请求，幸运的是也没有人拿着我们的相机跑掉。那个时候，我们并不知道这次旅程会如何改变我们的生活。但是，对我们来说，它开始变得神圣起来。这张照片是在911发生几周之后拍的，当时我尽力以一个五岁孩子可以明白的方式向她解释那天的事情。这些照片记录的不仅仅是一个瞬间，或者某次特别的旅程。它们是我们冻结时间的方式，它让我们回顾过去的时光，也让我们回想自己年复一年是如何变化，不止是身体上的变化，而是各方面

38、的变化。因为，虽然我们每年都拍同样的照片，我们的视角却不尽相同，女儿会迎来新的里程碑，我也通过她的眼睛看待生活，看她如何反应，如何看待一切。我们共度的这段时间，是一年里面我们最珍惜也最期待的时间。我们创造的最重要的事情之一就是我们的记忆。所以我希望分享这种主动且有意识去创造记忆的想法。我希望鼓励今天在座的各位，争取到照片里面去，不要犹豫，走向前问路人，您可以帮我们拍照吗？谢谢。重点单词:1. ritual rtl n. 仪式；惯例2. proxy prks n. 代用品3. perspective pspektv n. 观点4. cherish ter vt. 珍爱5. anticipate

The enthusiasm which greeted the Diamond Jubilee was, of course, especially memorable for me and my family.It was humbling th

44、at so many chose to mark the anniversary of a duty which passed to me 60 years ago. People of all ages took the trouble to take part in various ways and in many nations. But perhaps most striking of all was to witness the strength of fellowship and friendship among those who had gathered together on

45、 these occasions.As London hosted a splendid summer of sport, all those who saw the achievement and courage at the Olympic and Paralympic Games were further inspired by the skill, dedication, training and teamwork of our athletes. In pursuing their own sporting goals, they gave the rest of us the op

46、portunity to share something of the excitement and drama.We were reminded, too, that the success of these great festivals depended to an enormous degree upon the dedication and effort of an army of volunteers. Those public-spirited people came forward in the great tradition of all those who devote t

47、hemselves to keeping others safe, supported and comforted. For many, Christmas is also a time for coming together. But for others, service will come first. Those serving in our armed forces, in our emergency services and in our hospitals, whose sense of duty takes them away from family and friends, will be missing those they love.This is the time of year when we remember that God sent his only son to serve, not to be served. He restored l
