Optimus Prime, leader of the benevolent Autobots, narrates the collapse of the Transformers' home world, Cybertron. It was destroyed by war between the Autobots and the malevolent Decepticons, lead by Megatron in his quest to get hold of the All Spark. The Autobots want to find the All Spark so they can use it to rebuild Cybertron and end the war, while the Decepticons want to use it to defeat the Autobots and take over the universe. Megatron had managed to locate the All Spark on Earth, but crash-landed in the Arctic Circle and froze in the ice. After stumbling upon his frozen body in 1897, explorer Captain Archibald Witwicky accidentally activated Megatron's navigational system and his eye glasses were imprinted with the coordinates of the All Spark's location, an incident that left him blind and mentally unstable. Sector 7, a secret government organization created by President Herbert Hoover, discovered the All Spark in the Colorado River and built the Hoover Dam around it to mask its energy emissions. The still-frozen Megatron was moved into this facility and was used to advance human technology through reverse engineering.
In the present day, the Decepticon known as Blackout arrives in a U.S. military base in Qatar to find the location of Megatron and the AllSpark. He tries to hack into the files of the computer base, but is stopped by Captain William Lennox and his team. Back in the United States, Captain Witwicky's descendant Sam Witwicky buys his first car which turns out to be the Autobot scout Bumblebee and helps him woo his crush Mikaela Banes. Later, Sam catches a glimpse of Bumblebee's true form when he signals the other Autobots.
On Air Force One, another Decepticon named Frenzy infiltrates the plane and tries to hack into the network again, only this time is more successful until he is stopped by the US Security Defense before he can retrieve all of the file information. Frenzy is then picked up by his partner Barricade and they go after Sam after learning he has the glasses needed to find the AllSpark. Sam is rescued by Bumblebee and Mikaela also learns of the Transformers' existence. Bumblebee fights Barricade and manages to subdue him while Sam and Mikaela decapitate Frenzy, but he still survives.
Meanwhile, Scorponok, who was sent by Blackout, goes after Captain Lennox and his team, murdering one of them and injuring another. During the battle, Scorponok is forced to retreat when he gets injured by sabot rounds dropped him by the Air Force. Sam and Mikaela soon meet Optimus Prime and his other Autobot partners Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet. They explain their origins to the two humans and insist on the urgency to get to the Allspark first before the Decepticons, knowing that the Decepticons plan to use it to turn all of Earth's technologies into a new army of Transformers and render humanity extinct. The Autobots bring the two humans back to Sam's house
to find the glasses, and they nearly reveal their existence to Sam's parents.
However, Sector 7 agent Seymour Simmons and his team find Sam and take his family away to a classified location after learning Sam came into contact with the Autobots. However, Sam and Mikaela are rescued by Optimus and the Autobots, but Bumblebee ends up getting captured. The Autobots get the glasses and use them to find the AllSpark's location so they can destroy it so the Decepticons cannot get to it. Sam and Mikaela along with two hackers named Maggie and Glenn arrive at the Hoover Dam, where Maggie and Glenn got arrested by the FBI for trying to decipher the information Frenzy stole.
Frenzy finds the AllSpark and gets his body back, then contacts the other Decepticons, Starscream, Bonecrusher, Soundwave, Brawl, Barricade, and Blackout. Starscream attacks the dam and Frenzy frees Megatron from his frozen prison, where he joins his cohorts into chasing down Sam and the Autobots, where Bumblebee has shrunk the cube to a reasonable size. They then get to Mission City, where a large battle ensues. Working together, the Autobots and human soldiers manage to bring down Bonecrusher, Blackout, Brawl. However the war caused Bumblebee to get crippled, and Jazz is killed by Megatron.
Soon, it is up to Sam to decide Earth's fate. Optimus urges Sam to put the AllSpark in his chest, which will destroy them both, but Sam instead inserts the cube into Megatron's chest, which kills him and destroys the AllSpark. All of the dead Transformer bodies are dumped into the Mariana Trench at Atlantic Ocean to be hidden, Sector 7 gets closed down by the President of the United States, and the Witwicky family are released from custody.
Sam and Mikaela soon start a new relationship, and the film ends with Optimus Prime saying that the Autobots' fates have given them a new home: "Earth", and sends a message to all surviving Autobots to arrive on Earth.
During the credits, Starscream is shown escaping into space.
The Importance of Self-confidence Confidence, in a broad sense, comprises self-trust, self-esteem and courage .This d efinition is not sufficient. But it is able to describe the real meaning of it. As we known, self-confidence is accompanied by will, and as a twin, offers hope. Those who do not have a strong will often think themselves unable to carry out any dif ficult tasks, In fact, when our heart is void of self-confidence, every hope is gone,. For instance, according to experts, every year in the entrance examinations of all kinds, fu lly-prepared candidates lose nearly 5％to 10％of the full scores, and consequently me et their fail simply because they underestimate their own abilities, and overestimate the difficulties. As a result, their fear to meet new challenge leads to failure in the examin ation. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work harder than before. Set your own goal and trace on it, make a small progress one day, a month later it will be a big difference. People fail not because the task is difficult, but for they give up themselves in the half way. Self-confidence can be improved by building faith in yourself .we all know that what ever you do, you will encounter hardships. The success will come to you if you are co urageous enough to strive for it. What is success? When we are talking about success, mostly the first image comes into our mind is the man with high social status, and a lot of property. Most people believe that is succ ess and all that they do is only for this purpose. What is real success? Different people have different opinions on this question. Is i t fortune success? Is it fame success? Is it high social status success? My answer is not. To be clear about what is success must be the first step to achieving success. To be a football player，scoring on the field is success. To be a soldier, killing the enemy is success. for us, during the exam, getting a high score is success. So far, the best definition I have concluded that Success is achieving something int ended. In other words success is accomplish what you planned to do. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work harder than before. Set your own goal and trace on it, make a small progress one day, a month later it will be a big difference. People fail not because the task is difficult, but for they give up themselves in the half way. There is a saying goes like "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what kee
A: Well, you see, our company is going to attend a trade fair in the US. B: Yeah, sounds exciting. Since we've never done that before, we need to have good advance preparations for the trip. A: You're right. The first thing to do is of course to make travel and accommodation arrangements, such as choosing an airline offering good services and the flight of the right time so that we can arrange things well and in an effective way. B: This can be done by making several phone calls. And we have to make advance reservation with a local hotel so that the people for the trade fair can have a place to stay immediately after they arrive in the country. A: With early booking, we may even enjoy some discounts. And it's better to choose a hotel near the trade fair. That can save the time traveling there. B: Or we can arrange beforehand to hire a car from a local car rental company. A: In addition, it would be useful to know about some business customs in the US, including commonly accepted business practices, ways of doing business, and laws and regulations, etc. B: Yeah, especially those different from ours. Say, different ideas about punctuality. I heard that in the United States, people tend to be very time-conscious. Being late would be considered poor etiquette A: Also in China, business transactions are often concluded by treating business partners to lavish dinners and giving them expensive gifts, I'm afraid they seldom do it this way in the West or in the US. B: I was told that in Western countries, people attach much importance to formal agreement and contracts with detailed terms and conditions. They never feel comfortable with verbal agreements. In China, however, business is often concluded simply by verbal agreement. A: We should also learn about business customs such as the different systems of measurement. For instance, we use the day/ month/ year system for dating while the US use month/ day/ year system. And there are many other differences including topics acceptable in conversation. B: Also, Chinese businessmen tend to have business negotiations in a rather indirect manner, while American businessmen have a more direct style. Our people should be made to understand all these differences. A: But how to find out about all this? B: I think there are many ways to find out about these before the trip, say, we can go to the

To Be a Real Daughter We all know that yesterday was Mother’s Day. And I want to ask how many of us give a phone call to mother at least to give them a simple blessing? If you do, put up your hand, please. Well, that’s good. Okay, today I want to talk something about daughter and mother. At the afternoon of the day before yesterday, I had a talk with my mother though the phone. Before she called me, I was thinking to call her, but I was also worried about disturbing her middy rest. So about four o’clock, she gave a call to me. She said she was just in the bed to wait for my elder sister to go home, there was nothing to do, and she was just felt boring. At first, I sent my good wishes to her and then we had a chit-chat. I told her to live a happy life and wait for me to support her after I graduate from school. She seemed unhappy on hearing this. She told me that I would change when I have my own life. That sounded a little ear-piercing but it is somewhat of the reality. That indeed aroused my thinking. How many children become unfilial when they grow up, especially when they get married? If you do the research, you will find the number is amazing. We often watch TV over meal, and usually witness somebody who again mistreat their parents is exposed by the media. We may say, oh, shit! How can they be like that! How rotten! Why did parents raise them painstakingly? When saying this, whether we do any self-examination? Whether we respect our parents as what we should? Whether we care about parents a lot just as a real child should do? Let’s come back to the question above, why did my mother say like that when I promise to look after her after my graduation？She told me the reason. That was a thing happened last week. After the May Day, my mother and I went back to my elder sister’s. It was raining that day, and mum took something to my sister. The carton was a little heavy. When we were waiting for the bus, she went to a neighbor who ran a restaurant in the street and tried to borrow a thicker rope for I was hurt by the thin rope, but she was in vein, as a result, she was too hurry to leave her umbrella in the neighbor’s in order to get the bus, so she asked me to call my cousin to took back the umbrella from the neighbor.

1-2 XUANXUAN Hello everyone, today I want to show you a part of how the earth was made, and mainly talk about Yellowstone. As continents shift and clash, volcanoes erupt, and glaciers grow and recede, the Earth’s crust is carved in countless fascinating ways, leaving a trail of geological mysteries behind. And one of the greatest is Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. This is one of the world’s most geologically active places, shaken by up to 5000 earthquakes every year, and with more geysers and hot springs than in the rest of the world combined. Scientists studying Yellowstone are uncovering a violent past. Carved water, crushed by ancient glaciers and blasted by the biggest volcanic eruptions ever known on the planet. And even today, Yellowstone is one of the most dangerous places on Earth.
weiter zu studieren? oder Job bekommen? Ich werde auf jeden Fall noch ein Studium dranh?ngen, da ich denke, damit bessere Chancen im Berufsleben zu haben. Au?erdem hat man ja meistens durch die Ausbildung ja schon gute Grundkenntnisse, die man w?hrend des Studiums nur noch vertiefen muss, ein klarer Vorteil gegenüber denen, die noch keine Ausbildung hinter sich haben. Deshalb kann ich dir nur empfehlen noch ein Studium nach der Ausbildung zu machen. Lernen nach Interessen? oder nach Berufschancen? Mich b esch?ftigt seit l?ngerem die Frage, ob man nach seinen pers?nlichen Neigungen studieren sollte oder doch eher nach den sp?teren Berufschancen? Ursprünglich bin ich der Meinung, dass man nur dann eine Chance hat, gut zu sein, wenn man nach pers?nlichen Neig ungen und Interessen studiert. Ich k?nnte mich nie mit einem Thema über l?ngere Zeit besch?ftigen, wenn es mich im Prinzip gar nicht interessiert. Und sp?ter dann auch noch dementsprechend einen Beruf ausüben, der eigentlich gar nicht zu mir passt. Andererseits habe ich Bekannte, die nach ihren Interessen studiert haben und nun keinen Job oder einen ?u?erst schlecht bezahlten Job bekommen. Da denke ich mir dann auch wieder- Dass du damit keine Chance auf dem Arbeitsmarkt hast, war eigentlich schon vorher klar-. Man kann sich auch die Zukunft ziemlich verbauen, wenn man sich den Luxus g?nnt, einfach nur seinen Interessen nachzugehen. Reisen oder nicht?
