Thank you very much． Thank you！
Thank you for Principal Xu， all the teachers and most importantly， the class of 2019． If I can't make my speech fantastic， I will at least try to make it short．
It's been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy． You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander﹣in﹣chief． In fact， it all began from the half a （1） basic training， which I will never forget． The training included midnight swims in the cold water， days without （2） and long painful runs in the soft sand． I always felt cold， wet， sleepy and painful．
The training also needed to find those who could （3） in an environment of stress， mess， failure and hardships． To me， the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months． And today， I'd like to talk about one little thing， which I think is one of the most important points leading to great （4） ．
Every morning in the training， my instructors（教官） would （5） in our rooms． The first thing they did was to （6） our beds． The corners would be square if we did it right．The covers would be pulled tight， and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard．
It was a（n） （7） task． But every morning we were required to make our beds （8） ．
It seemed a little funny， but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over．
If you make your bed every morning， you will have completed the （9） task of the day． It will bring you a small sense of success， and it will （10） you to do another task， and another and another． And by the end of the day， one task completed will have （11） _ into many tasks completed． Making your bed will prove the fact． If you can't do the little things right， you will （12） be able to do the big things right．
（13） the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it． I can make sure that it doesn't matter whether I ever （14） a day in uniform． Even now， I still start my day with making the bed to perfection． So if you have an awful day by accident， you will come home to a bed that is made﹣that you made﹣and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better．
In general， if you want to change the world，（15） off by making your bed． I hope all of
you will have a brighter future！

Do you know that the"Happy Birthday to You" song is the first song sung in outer space？Apollo IX astronauts （1） it on March 8，1969．It is one of the most popular English songs of all time． Here's the story behind it．
The song was written by two sisters from Kentucky， Mildred and Patty Smith Hill． It was first published under the（2） of "Good Morning to All"in 1893． It was used as a classroom （3） ．Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students to the classroom．
The composer， Mildred Hill， was a concert pianist． Her sister Patty Smith Hill wrote the original（最初的） lyrics（（歌词） for the song while she was a teacher in a kindergarten in Louisville，Kentucky， where Mildred also （4） ．
The Hill sisters copyrighted（取得版权） their song on October 16，1893． However， it appeared （5） their agreement in Robert H． Coleman's songbook on March 4，1924．Coleman changed part of the lyrics to say， "Happy Birthday to You"， （6） the song still had its original title． The song was then published several times over the next ten years， often with small （7） in the lyrics．In 1934， when the song was sung every night in a Broadway Musical， another Hill sister， Jessica， went to court（法院） over the copyright problem of the song．She was （8） about the theft of the song and the failure to pay to her sisters． She （9） her case． The Hill family owned the rights to the melody and had to be （10） every time the song was part of a commercial（商业的） production．
The Hill sisters， who devoted their lives to educating children， could never imagine that the simple little song would continue to earn about ＄2 million every year．

"What's the meaning of life？" This is a question we all ask（1） at one point or another． The best answer that I came across was written by the great psychologist， Viktor Frankl． He wrote that "The meaning of life is to give life meaning"．
When I was a young boy， I gave my life meaning by（2） playing， running， jumping， swimming， laughing and riding my bike．
When I went to school， I gave my life meaning by learning， studying hard， getting good grades and trying to make my mom and dad （3） ．
When I was a teenager， I found meaning in playing sports， （4） out with my friends and trying to impress girls．
In college， I found my life meaning by deciding what I wanted to study and what career（职业） I would （5） for．
When I was working as a teacher， I found meaning in helping to open young minds to new （6） and old wisdom．
When I married and had kids， I found meaning in protecting and watching over those I loved． When I found out （7） of my sons were mentally handicapped（智障）， I found meaning in loving them， （8） them and learning so much from them about life， love， patience， faith and joy．
（9） I grew older， I began to understand meaning isn't something that comes and goes． We can give meaning to every moment of our life． We can bring meaning to the thoughts we have． We can bring meaning to the things we do． We can bring meaning to the hearts we （10） ． All we have to do is to love．
It is love that makes life worth living． It is love that gives life meaning．

Yesterday was Father's Day． Something that happened between my father and I is still on my mind． It was a Sunday morning， and I was in a terrible mood （情绪）． （1） friends of mine had gone to the movies the night before and neither had invited me． I was in my room（2） how to make them sorry when my father came in． "Want to go for a ride today， Beck？ It's a beautiful day．"
"No! Leave me alone!" Those were the（3） words I said to him that morning．
A few hours later， my friends called me to go to the mall with them． I forgot to be（4） with them and went with them． When I came home， I found a（n） （5） from my mother that said， "Dad has had an accident． Please meet us at the Park Hospital．"
When I reached the hospital， my mother told me a car hit my father and he was seriously wounded． "Your father told the driver to leave（6） alone and just call 911， thank God! If he had moved Daddy…
My mother may have said more， but I didn't hear anything（7） those terrible words： Leave me alone． How much had I hurt him when I shouted at him earlier that day？
It was several days later that he was（8） able to talk． I held his hand gently， afraid of hurting him．
"Daddy…I am so sorry…"
"It's okay， sweetheart． I'll be okay．"
"No，" I said， "I mean（9） I said to you that day． You know， that morning．"
He looked at me and said with a weak smile， "Sweetheart， I remember nothing about that day．"
My English teacher once told me that words have great power． They can hurt or they can heal （治愈）． And we all have the power to（10） what to say． I am going to do that very carefully from now on．

One afternoon a few months after Tom and I were married． Max walked into the dining room， where I was looking through my old photos．
These months I was learning to let Max come （1） on his own． If I moved too quickly， he ran away． If I was（2） ， we often ended up playing， laughing， and recently， even sitting together on the sofa with a book．
"Who' s that？" he pointed to one photo．
"My mom． I suppose she is your（3） Sylvia．"

"You can call me Mom or Betsy． （8） feels OK for you．"
I waited， expecting a pronouncement of my new（9） ．
"Sweet，" he said， walking out of the room．
For a couple of days afterward， Max （10） a new title for me． "Can we go bowling？" "Can I watch TV？" he'd ask， and then（11） the questions by mouthing the word Mom． Mom was always（12） ．
One weekend， he suddenly said， "I notice I don't call you Mom．"

"（13） I say Betsy， I mean Mom． Moms die， you know． I think it's maybe（14） if you' re just Betsy．"
Tears（眼泪） were filling my eyes．

It was the last evening of the old year．In the cold and darkness there went （31） the street a poor little girl，with bare feet．
She carried a small bundle of matches in her hand，and a lot （32） in her broken apron（围裙）．No one
had bought any all day long．Trembling with cold and hunger，the girl walked on and on（33） __ poor little child！
In a corner，she sat down，but she could not warm herself．She was （34） to go home，she had earned（赚）not a coin，and perhaps her father would （35） her，and her home was almost as cold as the street．Her hands were nearly dead with cold．She struck one match against the wall，and held her hands （36） the flame（火焰）．She wanted to warm her small hands．It was quite a magic light．She found herself （37） before a large iron﹣stove．How warm it was!As the child wanted to warm her feet，the flame （38） ，and the stove disappeared．The little girl sat cold and hungry，with the burnt match in her hand．
A second match was lighted．She saw a table （39） delicious food．The roast goose stood at one end，with knife and folk in her breast，jumped down from the dishes，and came to the poor child．The match was burnt out and only the thick，（40） wall was beside her．
She struck （41） match，this time，her gentle and loving grandmother came up，bright and happy as she had never looked during her lifetime．
"Grandma!"（42） the child，"Oh，take me with you!I know that you will leave me （43） __ the match goes out．"And she lighted all the matches hurriedly；she would like （44） __ her old grandmother disappearing．Her kind，old and beautiful grandmother took the little girl in her arms，and they both flew high together，until they were in that place where neither cold，nor hunger，nor （45） is ever known．
The next morning，the little girl was found dead in the corner，with a smile on her face．
