Good afternoon, principal, teachers and all students.It is my 1 (honorable)to be here to give a talk to all of you.I have studied in this school for five years.In these five years, I learned one precious thing important not only to me 2 to all of you here, and it is “reading”.I can always gain knowledge from reading.Reading doesn't not 3 up a lot of time but I gain a lot.Now I would like to share my reading experiences with you.
I once read a book Rare Air: Michael on Michael 4 (write)by the greatest basketball player in the history, Michael Jordan.While we envy his great achievement in the basketball and business aspects, few of us focus on his spirit of persistence.In the book, he talks about his experience of how he walks on the 5 of success.In order to join the NBA, he put in every effort to strengthen his muscle, to improve his skills 6 training hard.Because of his efforts, he successfully entered NBA.
However, he did not stop his training. 7 , the training was even stricter, 8 prepared him to deny the statement released by the public, ‘Michael is a weak guy!' While the criticism against him diminished, he worked even harder to achieve his next goal--the championship of NBA.Finally, he succeeded.
People honor Michael as ‘God of basketball' not only for his great basketball skills, but mainly for his spirit of persistence.While we admire his spirit, we can follow his spirit as well.Michael should be our example; we ought to learn from him.As long as we work hard, 9 is impossible.Bear in mind that all of you have the same quality.Nobody is born wise.Putting in effort is the only but effective way to advancement.My fellow schoolmates, before I go, I would like to encourage all of you that we should work as hard as we 10 .When you grow up, you may be the one who is admired by the community.Let's work hard together!Work for our future!Thank you

Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people's houses.
Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, "We've been to a lot of other people's houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn't we?"
"Yes, certainly," answered her husband, "A big party will be the easiest thing, won't it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month."
So Mrs. Harris said, "Yes, I'll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December."
"How many will that be?" Mr. Harris asked. "Don't invite too many."
Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, "Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m."
"That isn't very nice, is it?" he said. "You're telling our guests that they must go at 8:30." So Mrs. Harris just wrote "Party: 6:30 p.m."
A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, "You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained(抱怨)."
Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.
When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. "That was a surprise, wasn't it? Who complained about the noise?"
"I did," Mr. Harris answered in a tired voice.

Two years after the First World War (1914-1918), a small group of soldiers left the army and returned to their hometown in France. Most of them lived well, but one of them was poor. His name was Clinton. Once a year they had supper in Barton’s house. Barton was very rich.
One evening Barton showed his friends a large gold coin at the supper table. The coin was passed around and praised by everyone. At the same time they were talking and talking. They soon forgot about the coin. After supper, Barton asked for his coin, but nobody could tell where it was. It was lost. One man said that everyone must be searched. One by one they turned their pockets inside out. Only Clinton refused, however.“I didn’t steal the coin, and I will not be searched,” he said.After that, people turned their heads away from Clinton when they met him. He grew poorer. Soon his wife died.
A few years later, Barton had his house repaired. The lost coin was found under the floor.

I had taken some food from the table to carry to my hungry wife and children.”

Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. "It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one," said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.
The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the "Flower portrait"— was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
"We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays," Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (馆长), told the Associated President.
The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
"There have always been questions about the painting," said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture."
Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation (调查) and the results will come out later this month._________________
