Nelson Mandela

  Nelson Mandela is one of the great political leaders of our time.His lifelong efforts to the fight against racial(种族)oppression(压迫)in his country won him the admiration(钦慕)of millions worldwide, as well as the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.As the leader of South Africa’s anti-partheid(反种族隔离)movement, Mandela was a key player in helping to move his country toward multiracial government(多民族政府)and majority rule.

  Mandela’s long, hard struggle is a victory of dignity(尊严)and hope.He’s a man of true courage.If determination and patience were considered talents, Mandela would win hands down in any sort of competition.

  accomplishments(成就)& fame(名誉)

  Nelson Mandela’s greatest accomplishments were his role in ending apartheid, and becoming South Africa’s first elected black president.He has been the recipient(收件人)of dozens upon dozens of awards, prizes and honors from countless associations and organizations, but perhaps none more prestigious(声望很高)than the Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with former South African President Frederik W.de Klerk, in 1993.

  He has been awarded several other major peace prizes, such as the UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)Peace Prize in 1991(also shared with F.W.de Klerk); the Africa Peace Award in 1995 and the International Gandhi Peace Prize in 2002.

  Mr.Mandela also received dozens of honorary degrees(名誉学位)from universities the world over, including the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Glasgow, London, Nottingham, and Oxford, as well as an Honorary Doctorate from the Sorbonne University in Paris(all in July 1996), and Harvard Business School’s Statesman of the Year Award in 1995-to name but a few.He has also been presented(赠送)with the key to cities such as Rome, Rio de Janeiro, London, Dublin, and Sydney, Australia(where he became the first person ever to receive the Freedom of that city).In July of 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States highest civilian(公民)award.

  Model

  There’s something admirable about having been a leader fighting for a people’s freedom and equality in an unjust society.Mandela has become a worldwide symbol(楷模)of the struggle of the oppressed(被压迫者)over the oppressor.He has been celebrated in song by artists the world over, in many different languages.One entitled “Nelson Mandela”was recorded by British 2-Tone group The Special A.K.A(formerly The Specials); making the top 10 in the UK and a few other European nations in 1984.

  Personal style

  As a president, Mandela sported the typical garb(服饰)of high-ranking government officials: expensive, well-tailored(缝制精致的)suits.Now retired(退役)from public life, Mandela the elder statesman dresses in an ordinary way.

  He attends many activities, often where he is the guest of honor, in bright, colorfully patterned(典型的)traditional African robes(长袍)or shirts all the better for getting down when the music begins.

Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange around drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like clack cloud and the buzzing mass      towards him.
With no time to waste. Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bead for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your ways out of it. ”

Andy knew be could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees have gone. Dragging himself out of the date, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mr Nelson took his inside and rang his mother.
“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,”laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic! But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow. ”
