The purpose of a high school graduation ceremony is to celebrate students who have successfully met the academic and extracurricular requirements for graduation. The ceremony provides a public chance in which graduating students receive their diplomas(文凭), marking their official graduation from high school. High school graduation ceremonies are typically held at the end of the academic year and are attended by teaching staff, graduates and their families and friends.
Though the event lasts only a few hours, a great ceremony is a memory that those who attend can treasure for years and years. Rather than marking the end of one stage in a student's life, graduation signifies the beginning of the next.
Along with the awarding of the diplomas, the commencement address(毕业演说) is an essential part of the ceremony. The address traditionally congratulates graduates on their achievements, encourages them on their endeavors and imparts wisdom for the future.

The high school graduation ceremony is a cherishing memory, because it not only marks the graduates’ public graduation from the school, but also symbolizes the beginning of their future. Besides, the graduates receive both congratulations and encouragement.
In this unforgettable moment, as a student representative speaking here, I am full of hope and expectation for the coming days, and also deeply touched by the past three years in this high school together with all the teachers and classmates.
During the past senior school days, I have achieved a lot. I can’t help recalling some good memories about my high school life. Once I put on a dancing performance in the school Art Festival Show. Luckily, I missed a step and slipped. I was embarrassed but my classmates cheered for me. With their support, I continued with the rest of the dance perfectly. In the experience, I think the friendship and the encouragement I gained was the most precious.
Today is our graduation ceremony, yet I would like to owe all of these joys to the most important person in my life. It is my mother who brings me up with all her efforts and teaches me how to distinguish right from wrong. So today I want to express my sincere gratitude to her.
阅读下面的短文,然后从A-F选项中,为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。
A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
