2023外研社国才杯全国英语演讲比赛题目1. Introduction2023外研社国才杯全国英语演讲比赛，是一项旨在提高我国学生英语口语表达能力的盛会。

本次比赛的题目围绕着“梦想与现实”展开，引发了广泛的思考和讨论。

在本文中，我将从多个角度探讨梦想与现实，以期为读者带来深刻的思考和启发。

2. The Importance of Dreams梦想是人们前进的动力之一，它激励着我们不断努力、追求更好的未来。

在当今社会，年轻人们对于梦想的追求越来越强烈，他们渴望用自己的努力创造更好的生活。

然而，梦想不仅仅是幻想，它需要付出努力和勇气，以及实现的可能性。

3. The Reality of Dreams然而，现实往往给了我们重重的打击，使梦想变得遥不可及。

生活的压力、社会的竞争、个人的能力等都可能成为我们梦想实现的阻碍。

我们需要理性看待梦想，用实际行动去逐步实现它，而不是被梦想迷惑。

4. Balancing Dreams and Reality要实现梦想并不是一件容易的事情，但也不是不可能。

我们需要在梦想和现实之间保持平衡，明确目标，找到适合自己的道路，不断学习和进步。

只有这样，我们才能更好地把握机遇，实现梦想。

5. Conclusion“梦想与现实”不仅仅是一个话题，更是我们每个人都需要经历的人生阶段。

通过深入思考和不断努力，我们可以找到适合自己的梦想实现之路，并走得更远。

希望在2023外研社国才杯全国英语演讲比赛中，参赛选手们能够用自己的话语，将“梦想与现实”的主题表达得更加生动，引人深思。

Personal Perspective在我看来，梦想与现实的关系如同星空与大地般纷繁复杂，既有绚烂的梦幻，又有沉实的土地。

在追寻梦想的路上，我们需要坚持不懈，充满信心。

也需要对现实保持清醒的认识，不断调整自己的计划和策略。

只有这样，我们才能在竞争激烈的世界中，实现自己的梦想。

希望本文能够帮助您更全面、深刻地理解“梦想与现实”的主题，并为2023外研社国才杯全国英语演讲比赛的选手们带来一些启发与思考。

sometimes we remember things that never even happened.But15.Recently,however,scientists have started to grasp and tinker with memory's physical st year,in work evocative of films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Inception,researchers discovered ways to manipulate specific memories in mice using optogenetics,a powerful technique that can trigger nerve cells in animals' brains by zapping them with beams of laser light.In a series of experiments,they showed that they could delete existing memories and"incept"false ones.This year,researchers went even further:switching the emotional content of a memory in mice from bad to good and vice versa.Under the laser,for example,male mice that had once associated a certain room with being shocked were tricked into acting as though they had once met friendly female mice there instead.Whether the mice in these experiments actually experienced vivid false memories or just a fuzzy sense of pleasure or fear is unclear.Nor is it clear whether the findings apply to the tricks of memory so familiar to people.Long-sought therapeutic advances,such as treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder,could remain far off.One thing is certain, however:Once considered beyond scientific dissection,memory is finally starting to yield its secrets.15.Which of the following best fits the numbered space in the text?A.what is really happening in our brain as memories are remodeled remains mysteriousB.scientists are curious about why people are oblivious to what have happened to themC.advanced technology has helped scientists discover the workings of our brainD.some scientists argue that what we observe about human memory is not what it really is16.The word"incept"is closest in meaning to________.A.operateB.startC.detectD.occupy17.Which of the following can be inferred from the text?A.People's false memories result from the impact of different emotion provoked by later experience on the same spot.B.The success in research indicates that it won't be long that a therapy is worked out for people disturbed by painful memory.C.By zapping the brain cells of mice with light,researchers are able to create,erase,or alter their memories,good or bad.D.Many fancy ideas in science fictions or movies that are based on them actually draw greatly upon scientific achievement.Questions18-19(Suggested completion time:4minutes)Directions:Read the text about cholera.Decide whether the statements are True or False according to the text.A child receives the oral cholera vaccine ShancholCholera is caused by a bacterial infection of the intestine.Approximately one in20 people infected with cholera has a serious case,with symptoms including severe diarrhea, vomiting,and leg cramps.These symptoms quickly cause dehydration and shock,and can result in death within hours if the infected person doesn't receive treatment.Cholera is typically transmitted by contaminated food or water.In areas with poor treatment of sewage and drinking water,the feces of people with cholera can enter the water supply and spread quickly,resulting in an epidemic.The cholera bacterium may also live in the environment in some coastal waters,so shellfish eaten raw can be a source of cholera in affected areas.18.Cholera is known to be a life-threatening disease which easily causes death of most of the patients.True()False()19.Cholera typically occurs in areas near the sea or the river where contaminated food isa major source of the disease.True()False()Questions20-21(Suggested completion time:5minutes)Directions:Read the abstract of a research paper from the DeepMind website.Decide whether the statements are True or False according to the abstract.Teaching Machines to Read and ComprehendAuthors:K.M.Hermann,T.Kočiský,E.Grefenstette,L.Espeholt,W.Kay,M. Suleyman,P.BlunsomPublished:NIPS2015Abstract:Teaching machines to read natural language documents remains an elusive challenge.Machine reading systems can be tested on their ability to answer questions posed on the contents of documents that they have seen,but until now large scale training and test datasets have been missing for this type of evaluation.In this work we define a new methodology that resolves this bottleneck and provides large scale supervised reading comprehension data.This allows us to develop a class of attention based deep neural networks that learn to read real documents and answer complex questions with minimal prior knowledge of language structure.20.Previous studies didn't take constant effort to evaluate the reading ability of artificial intelligence machines,which was why the present research was conducted.True()False()21.One implication of the research is that a methodology that helps gather and handle big data is indispensable to artificial intelligence related studies.True()False()Questions22-23(Suggested completion time:6minutes)Directions:Read the text about the"Think small"advertising campaign.Answer the questions according to the text.Think SmallI f you're interested in marketing and advertising,Volkswagen's"Think small"campaign for the Beetle when it was first introduced to North America in1959looms large as one of the greatest advertising campaigns of all time.It wasn't just a revolution in automotive advertising;it changed the entire industry.Until the Beetle hit the market,automotive marketing copy was full of bluster,and the images were flights of fancy,emphasizing low,long lines and a fantasy lifestyle.The clean,simple photography on a white background that emphasized the Beetle's compact,practical form may seem commonplace these days,but it was a revolution in a world where Americans grew up obsessed with muscle cars,horsepower,and tire smoke. Making the car small,when the convention was to make it fill the page,was also novel. The simplistic approach to design and layout was totally contrary to the advertising conventions of the time.____22_____The text was minimalist in both look and content,presenting the facts simply instead of trying to weave tall tales and fantasies;and instead of bluster,it ushered in an intelligent sense of humor that made readers feel like they were in on the joke.The message was one of smart anti-luxury,and took gentle aim at an industry obsessed with superficiality and styling,rather than the substance underneath the car bodies.Not only does"Think small"continue to inspire Volkswagen advertising to this day,it ushered in a creative revolution in the advertising business and changed the world of marketing forever."Think small"showed the power of humor and honesty,and its photographic and design principles brought about a major shift in the look and feel of marketing around the world.22.Which of the sentences below best fits the numbered space in the text?A.What defined the ad even more than its visual style was the tone of its copy.B.This ad starts off doing the exact opposite of what you would expect in a car ad.C.This was an exercise in minimalism and a very accurate reflection on the product itself.D.The car wasn't depicted as an integral piece of the daily lives of a middle class family.23.It can be inferred that the advertising conventions of the1950s were reflected in the following except that___________.A.The ads in the1950s typically showed proud owners and passengers evoking great joy about new shiny big acquisitions.B.The marketing concept then focused on providing as much information as possible to the reader such as the way it's created.C.The marketing schemes associated the advertised product with an idea or a way of living from average consumers'perspective.D.The marketing practice may attach importance to a sense of humor brought by the use of exaggerated language.Questions24-25(Suggested completion time:4minutes)Directions:Read the following six remarks concerning the crowd.Four of them are taken from Gustave Le Bon's book,The Crowd:A Study of the Popular Mind.Choose the two remarks that may NOT be taken from the book.24-25._______The CrowdA.In crowds it is stupidity and not mother wit that is accumulated.B.Crowds most envy the lonely man who walks confidently as if he is walking with the great crowds!C.A crowd is not merely impulsive and mobile.Like a savage,it is not prepared to admit that anything can come between its desire and the realization of its desire.D.I walked with them,as crowds have that effect on me,I want to do what they do,to journey towards some point of revelation,which of course never comes.E.Crowds,being incapable both of reflection and of reasoning,are devoid of the notion of improbability;and it is to be noted that in a general way it is the most improbable things that are the most striking.F.…the individual forming part of a crowd acquires,solely from numerical considerations,a sentiment of invincible power which allows him to yield to instincts which,had he been alone,he would perforce have kept under restraint.Questions26-28(Suggested completion time:5minutes)Directions:Read the text about a fly.Answer the questions according to the text.The FlyAt that moment the boss noticed that a fly had fallen into his broad inkpot,and was trying feebly but desperately to clamber out again."Help!Help!"said those struggling legs.But the sides of the inkpot were wet and slippery;it fell back again and began to swim.The boss took up a pen,picked the fly out of the ink,and shook it on to a piece ofblotting-paper.For a fraction of a second it lay still on the dark patch that oozed round it. Then the front legs waved,took hold,and,pulling its small,sodden body up,it began the immense task of cleaning the ink from its wings.Over and under,over and under,went a leg along a wing,as the stone goes over and under the scythe.Then there was a pause, while the fly,seeming to stand on the tips of its toes,tried to expand first one wing and then the other.It succeeded at last,and,sitting down,it began,like a minute cat,to clean its face.Now one could imagine that the little front legs rubbed against each other lightly, joyfully.27.26.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A.The boss saved the fly out of his broad inkpot.B.The fly was trapped by the thick ink on its wings.C.The passage describes how a fly survived an accident.D.The passage shows how a fly conquered a challenge.27.Which of the following statement can best fit in the numbered space?A.The horrible danger was over;it had escaped;it was ready for life again.B.The boss was relieved now,reassured that the fly had been out of danger.C.But the front legs waved,caught hold,and,more slowly this time,the task restarted.D.But such a grinding feeling of wretchedness seized him that he felt positively frightened.28.The tone of the text can be described as a complex mixture of anything but_______.A.sympatheticB.humorousC.cheerfulD.depressingQuestions29-30(Suggested completion time:7minutes)Directions:Read the text about Chaco Culture.Answer the questions according to the text.The"Chaco Culture",as modern-day archaeologists call it,flourished between roughly the9th and13th centuries A.D.and was centered at Chaco Canyon in what is now New Mexico.The people of the Chaco Culture built immense structures that at times encompassed more than500rooms.They also participated in long-distance trade that brought cacao, macaws(a type of parrot),turquoise and copper to Chaco Canyon.29_______,researchers have to rely on the artifacts and structures they left behind,as well as oral accounts that have been passed on through generations,to reconstruct what their lives were like.Archaeologists generally agree that Chaco Canyon was the center of Chaco Culture. Today the canyon is a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The National Park Service estimates that there are about4,000archaeological sites in the park, including more than a dozen immense structures that archaeologists sometimes call "Great Houses".Archaeological research has revealed many discoveries,including a system of roads that connected many Chaco Culture sites,and evidence of astronomical alignments that indicate that some Chaco Culture structures were oriented toward the solstice sun and lunar standstills.“There has been more archaeological research conducted in Chaco and on the subject of Chaco than on any other prehistoric district in North America,”says a National Park Service statement posted on Chaco Culture National Historical Park's website."Today,twenty Puebloan groups in New Mexico,as well as the Hopi in Arizona, claim Chaco as their ancestral homeland and are tied to this place through oral traditions and clan lineages.A number of Navajo clans are also affiliated with Chacoan sites through their traditional stories,"the National Park Service statement says.Despite the fact that there has been an immense amount of archaeological research carried out at Chaco Canyon,and at other Chaco Culture sites in the American Southwest, modern-day archaeologists disagree over what the people of the Chaco Culture were like.Some archaeologists think that the people of the Chaco Culture were not politically united,while some think they controlled an empire centered on Chaco Canyon."Whatwas Chaco?Opinions vary widely,perhaps wildly.Interpretations range from a valley of peaceful farming villages to the monumental capital of an empire,"wrote Stephen Lekson, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder,in an article published in the book The Architecture of Chaco Canyon,New Mexico(University of Utah Press,2007).Lekson noted that there are different interpretations among archaeologists as to what the Great Houses were.Some archaeologists believe that they were villages inhabited by thousands of people,while others think that they were elite residences that housed a small number of residents.29.Which of the following best fits in the numbered space in the text?A.The people of the Chaco Culture did not use a writing system and as suchB.While archaeologists are not certain what caused this dramatic population bumpC.When thinking about archaeological sites,we tend to think of them as dead silentD.Since Chaco's national monument status may not protect it from development pressures30.Which of the following statements can we know from the text?A.The people of the Chaco culture were good at foreign trade.B."Great Houses"were built from approximately the9th to13thcentury A.D.C.Most descendants of ancient Chaco people live in New Mexico now.D.Archaeologists hold different ideas about how the people of the Chaco Culture lived. Part III Read and QuestionIn Part III,you will read passages on the same subject.You will be required to identify the writer's position and evaluate the effectiveness of the writer's arguments.(Suggested completion time:35minutes)Questions31-40(Suggested completion time:35minutes)Directions:Read three passages about fashion.Answer the questions according to the passages.Passage AIt's not that easy to answer the question,"what is fashion?"because it means different things to different people.Fashion is an art.It's a religion.It's a job.It's a peek into a personality.It's playfulness.It's an escape or a disguise.It is a feast for the eyes.But ultimately,32.French fashion designer Coco Chanel once said,"Fashion is notsomething that exists in dresses only.Fashion is in the sky,in the street,fashion has to do with ideas,the way we live,what is happening."It's true.Fashion isn't defined solely by our clothing choices,but is also conveyed through the way we carry ourselves,our personalities and our views of the world.At its most fundamental,fashion is simply the prevailing style or custom,as in dress or behavior. So,who exactly answers the question"what is fashion"?Who decides what's fashionable and what isn't?What's in or what's out?Fashion Designers.The iconic fashion houses—Prada,Gucci,Chanel—are referred to as haute couture,French for"high sewing".These designers lead the way in creatingtrend-setting fashion.While some of their designs are outrageous and completely unrealistic when it comes to everyday wear,generally the theme is adapted into versions suitable for wearing.Media.Fashion trends are often sparked by characters on popular television shows and movies as well as adopted from magazine pages."Sex and the City","The Devil Wears Prada",these shows introduced us to new,cutting-edge designs.While you might not be caught dead wearing a Carrie Bradshaw original,you might take ideas inspired from her look and piece together your own creation.Celebrities.A prime example of a celebrity-driven fashion trend?UGGs.Until Kate Hudson and Jessica Simpson were spotted wearing them around L.A.several years ago, no one had given any thought to UGG boots.Now they are everywhere. Musicians.Musicians have always been very influential when it comes to dictating fashion.Rock'n'roll is fashion.Elvis is an iconic example.In the1950s,everyone wanted to dress like Elvis.What about the heavy metal hair bands so popular in the1980s? Axl Rose reinvented the head bandana while Poison,Motley Crue and Bon Jovi set the pace for big,rocker hair.Just because you don't know if a Prada bag is fall2007or spring2008doesn't matter.All that matters is that you like it and it's an expression of you.That is fashion.Passage B[A]Fashion is more prevalent in modern society than in primitive tribes or peasant communities.The modern society is an open society where class distinctions are not so rigid as in primitive society.Its urban and mobile class structure enables people to cultivate individual taste and adopt new course.[B]Our standards of judgment have also changed.Today the individual is rated more by observable externalities than by his ancestry,his character or his genuine accomplishments.The clothes a man wears,the language he speaks,the manners he shows have more weight in ascribing a status than his simplicity,patriotism and integrity.If he can keep himself up to date in the matters of his dress,speech and manners,he will assure himself a high social esteem.[C]Not only the mobile and urban character of modern society but its affluence also speaks for greater prevalence of fashion in it.Men today are richer than their ancestors and have more leisure.They have the necessary means and time to play with luxuries and to think of fashion.Maclver writes:We do notthink of fashion in overalls;there is more of fashion in the body of an automobile than in its chassis.There is no fashion in steam shovels.[D]Consequently the higher the standard of living the more material there is for fashion to operate upon.Passage CAs summer has officially faded into the colder weather of autumn,I assumed the days of Nike shorts,comically large T-shirts and polos would be only a memory of yesterday. This has not been the case.Fashion,in and of itself,is already a type of conformism.In order to be considered fashion,a look,a garment or a stylistic choice must be deemed fashionable.Who gets to decide this—what is fashionable?While certain fashion heavyweights play a role in this decision,the ultimate decision is left to the public.As I was surfing the Web recently for inspiration for this column,I came across the Prada website.What I discovered literally caused me to gasp.Of course,everyone knows Prada is an expensive brand—a luxury—but what I discovered shocked me:a keychain priced at$180.No,this keychain was not solid gold or encased in diamonds.It was simply a keychain:a skull with the word"Prada"on a small charm.How can a company charge$180for a keychain?The answer:people are willing to pay for it.People know the brand and conform to the idea of owning a piece of such an Italian "luxury".This is nonsensical.Why do we choose to wear miniscule shorts in frigid weather or spend nearly$200on a charm?Such decisions are influenced by peers,the media and the personal resolution to not make rational,individualistic choices.We cling to the idea of acceptance.In short,we often choose to abide by the pressures of social conventionality,and this leads us to make ridiculous selections—pairing Ugg boots with shorts or wearing neon with camouflage—which we would otherwise not make.I am certainly shamefaced in my occasional conformity to these ludicrous fashion folkways.I am guilty of donning Crocs in public.Yikes!Transient,often preposterous trends referred to as fads inspire some rather strange ideas. Who can recall the pet rocks of the'70s or Popples of the'80s?Such pop trends are not confined to behavior;they bleed into the fashion world,evidenced in overly distressed jeans,the most painful of neon shades,shoes that resemble Swiss cheese and a host of other fads I do not have the space to mention.I refuse to give up hope for societal common sense.One day we will comprehend that shorts are for the summer and ridiculously expensive keychains are for“never.”Do not allow others to dictate for you.Be bold.Be an individual.Do not buy the keychain.31.The phrase"might not be caught dead"in Passage A most probably means______.A.would rather not die anywayB.might not be caught red handed。

美丽是祸不是福辩论赛辩词发布时间：2018-06-13正方：美丽是福不是祸反方：美丽是祸不是福这是我辩论队招新复赛辨题，我是反方三辩我的反方构架：一辨立论：1美丽的定义：外在表面2祸福的产生源于社会，美丽的祸福问题必须与现实社会联系在一起，正是现实的残酷造成美丽是祸，所以这里讨论的美丽是现实的美丽而不是艺术抽象的美丽。

3我们今天所说的美丽是祸是指美丽给美丽的主体带来的祸患。

4社会的复杂性会导致美丽出众的事物遭到少数人的破坏。

5美丽对于外界或非本体带来的愉悦感不是福气，而且外界为得到这种愉悦感可以完全不在乎本体的感受。

6美丽时间空间上的有限性，人们为了无限扩大美丽的时间和空间会对本体造成祸害，就像人们对财富的追逐一样，但财富无生命，而且可以在形式上不断变化，人们追求财富不会对财富造成损伤，但美丽的主体往往有生命，而且无法转化，人们对它的追逐就必然会造成对本体的祸患。

四辨反驳：1正方曲解美丽，把美丽意义扩大化如：心灵美也算美丽，而且美丽与美不是一个概念，美最早的意思是味美，现在意思更多，但我们总不能把美食解释为美丽的食物吧。

2美丽与美丽的事物合体，把美丽事物的幸福完全归功与美丽。

如：一个美丽的人成功了，不一定是美丽给他带来的成功。

更多的美丽的人抱着他们的梦想等待着它的幻灭。

3美丽与其他优良性质合体。

如：美女的成功不一定是美丽带给她的，而且我们在讨论美丽的祸福问题而不是美人的祸福问题，美丽只是事物的一个性质，而不是一事物的全部性质。

4脱离社会的残酷性谈美丽的美好。

我们都活在现实世界而非艺术或抽象的世界，美丽是福是祸是要放在社会中去考虑的，很遗憾的是我们生活的是残酷的，美好事物往往会遭到恶势力的打压。

5上帝是公平的，世间万物都处于矛盾的对立统一中，有得必有失，接近完美或理想的事物也会造成其有致命的缺陷，使其更不具有生存优势，灭亡自然也会较快。

6美丽是祸，但美丽的主体不一定遭祸，祸患激发是有条件的，我们正是要通过讨论警惕美丽的主体防止祸患的发生。

“外研社杯”全国大学生英语辩论赛“外研社杯”全国英语辩论赛创始于1997年，每年举办一届，是目前国内规模最大、水平最高的英语口语赛事。

2013年的第十七届“外研社杯”全国大学生英语辩论赛由团中央学校部、全国学联、北京外国语大学主办，外语教学与研究出版社及中国教育电视台承办。

历经十几年品牌积淀和不懈努力，“外研社杯”英语辩论赛的权威性、规模以及品牌影响力已被全国广大的英语教师及在校大学生所认可，在高校中享有盛誉。

十几年来，已有累计1000余所高校精心培训选拔优秀人才组队参赛。

1997-2001年，大赛初创时的规模仅限于邀请全国范围内的8-16支高校代表队直接参赛，比赛有幸邀请到时任英国驻华公使夫人，优雅的Lady Appleyard作为主持人。

上海交通大学获得首届“外研社杯”冠军。

此后的几年内，北京外国语大学、复旦大学和对外经济贸易大学分别夺得冠军殊荣。

决赛辩题涉及诸多社会关注热点，如：1997年的Examinations do more harm than good.2001年的The opportunity cost of attending graduate school is too high for college students.随着比赛名声的迅速扩大，越来越多的学校渴望加入“外研社杯”参赛。

地区预赛制度因运而生。

每年全国开设6-8个赛区，每个赛区容纳12支队伍报名。

如此一来，参赛名额明显增加，极大满足了高校英语学习者的需求也鼓舞了大家的热情。

与此同时，外交部、教育部和文化名人也开始关注和出席“外研社杯”的总决赛。

2002年，当时的英国驻华大使Sir. William Ehrman出席决赛并致辞；2003年，时任外交部翻译室主任的张建敏先生和阳光传媒集团总裁杨澜女士参与了评判工作并为获奖队颁发奖杯。

辩题的深度和广度也与时俱进。

如，2003年的Urbanization helps improve the quality of living.2004年的Nationalism is a positive sentiment.2005年，“外研社杯”大胆向国际化赛制迈出第一步，转制为全美大学生辩论赛的通用模式——美国议会制（American Parliamentary Style，也称AP）。

means that we can transmute the negative feelings into a positive attitude towards our frustration; means that we can look the unpleasant matters in a positive light and tackle them with greatresilience. personally, i espouse bing a moderately positiveindividual.hellen keller, who was blind and deaf, became a celebrated writers with unflagging belief in herself and unyielding willpower. in front of hellen keller, there lied two options: either live live to its fullest or wither away like the autumn leaves. instead of capitulating to the sheer darkness and silence, she harbored prodigious fortitude to vanquish the personal trageies and sufferings. under the assistance of her teacher anne, she learnt braille and writing. after reading a sea of books, hellen keller soaked up all the quintessence and wisdom of other writers and attempted to write her own. the spirit of never being pessimistic sustained her in the most darkest hours of her life and she rose like a shinging star in the firmament of writing. her teacher also held a positive belief in hellen so she resolved to help hellen face life positively.there are innumerable other examplars of being moderately positive. thomas edison, by dint of a postive mindset and unwavering pursuit, invented the most endurable and suitable material to make the incandescent bulb which marked theinauguration of the electrical era. madame curie, by virtue of a optimistic attitude and steadfast tenacity, extracted an infinitesimal amount of radium from tons of impure materials after three-year-and-nine-month experiment and advocated to use radioisotope to cure cancer which rendered humanity a powerful weapon to fight against the fatal disease. hua luogeng, a renowned chinesesmethematician, metamorphosed into a math master by holding a positive outlook and unswerving doggedness.it‘s not hard to find the common denominator of the brilliant and reverent giants: a positive outlook towards the sufferings and failures.being moderately positive will arm us with an effective weapon to repel the enemies of negative feelings that will hold us back and become a stumbling block on the way ahead. it will bolster up our belief and confidence in the face of the mishaps and torments and we will possess a more optimistic perspective to the life tragedies. being moderatelypositive is like a beacon light of hope which will illuminate our way ahead and resembles a lighthouse which show us the path when we are disoriented. then all the darkness will fade away and crumble into dust. beingmoderately positive is the inner force which propels you froward in the teeth of setback and hurdles. we will ooze confidence and persistence no matter how tough the situation is.nevertheless, we are supposed to put the positive mindset in perspective, which means we need to understand it in the appropriate and right way. here the positive mindset is a moderately positive one, not overly optimistic. anything that is too much will backfire. the last emperor of shang dynasty was being too sanguine and optimistic and believed that his kingdom was impregnable and was never to be toppled by others. thus he sank into the debauched and promiscuous lifestyle, listened to the malign suggestions of his diabolical officers and precluded any good suggestions from being sent to him. the decadence and depravity eventually led to his downfall and his power was nullified andcompromised. this renders us a good lesson that we shall never become overly optimistic about our lives, works, conditions and circumstances because undue and inordinate optimism led to the complacent and smug mentality. it is always counterproductive.individuals should always strive for the better selves rather than rest and wallow in self-contentment when the achievements are made. that is why being overly optimistic should be deprecated and criticized.so, what we need to do is to differentiate the positive mind from the overly-optimistic one, for there is a 出现恶意脚本ry line between these two. our capacity to distinguish between them must be acuqired by constant failures and attempts. always being moderately positive is not an easy task and trying to keep it is even much harder. sometimes we will become disheartened and lose all the hope; sometimes we will enjoy theexhilaration of being successful and then get obsessed with thecurrent achievements. through failures, we can have a much clearer interpretation of being moderately postive. and this is a long process that should be covered step by step and brick by brick.can being positive backfaire? i cannot answer in the affirmative. but add "moderatelyto the sentence: can being moderately positive backfire? my answer is definitely no.第三篇lin‘s friend, lee, is one of the competitors. they grew up together and surely he is the one lin least expects to see. lee is not prepared to be eliminated, though. he has obtained a phd degree from a prestigious university. for the last two months, the hr manager has been inviting him toapply for this position. it seems pretty obvious that lee, this young and accomplished man, with a bright future ahead of him, is definitely going to get the job, even though he will confront those so-called mighty robots."what is that again? human intelligence.he scrolls down thewebpageintroducingthe types of the two humanoid robots he isgoing to meet. "i prefer this one. she was set to be more docile. she might be a good friend, well, when i am in need.""type c112345.lee tells the type of that female robot to phone."and what level of control would you like to access, sir?coming from the other end of the phone."well, let‘s make it the top level.he replies. after paying 1o,ooogrand for it, he receives a link to an application called rb control. he opens the app, and laughs out insanely when the control options pop on the screen.with his head held so high and hair pressed so neatly, he enters the company gate. he turns off his phone, and starts glancing at people, until he finally sets his eyes on a similar figure of a man."lin! my old friend! what a surprise!lee marches forward.lin, on the other hand, is not so pleased to see him. his body freezes when that very voice of lee‘s comes from his back.dear lord,please, not that man.and as he is praying, he turns to the origin of the voice. well, here lee is, with that neatly pressed hair like cold stone and that oily warm smile.as lee is shaking his hands and hugging him from various angles, the hr manager approaches, calling the two guys inside and that is when lee is finally able to let go of lin‘s fragile body. lee naturally sits in the very middle of the room, while lin gets a seat beside lee, and the three other competitors enter. lee stares at the only lady. the lady is wearing a very decent black dress and looks absolutely smart. he instantly takes out the phone and starts to change everything."intelligence, down to 4. eloquence, down to 3.....as he murmurs, the brightness in the lady‘s eyes start to fade. she was talking to one of the men, but suddenly, she was stammering and speaking with a lot of grammar mistakes.i name is mary. i from near and i want get this job....the lady startsintroducingherself, and apparently, this introduction is not good enough."i am sorry, but are you sure your name is mary? as in , the mary whom i sent the interview offer to?the hr manager speaks with slight irritation, while he is flipping mary‘s file.tear starts to fill the lady‘s eyes. she cannot explain what is going on with her brain.lin has witnessed everything about lee manipulating this lady. he pinches lee‘s left hand and says, stop it right now, or i will report you i swear it!"lee gives him a pat on his back ,well, mate, you haven‘t changed a bit. "lin feels disgusted; he raises his hands and asks for permission to go to the toilet. lee as well, says he wants to go along. the second after they leave the room, lee stops lin and whispers,i want to show you something. shh, promise me you will not laugh out."before lin can refuse, of course he knows it is going to be about insulting the poor lady inside, lee starts to make changes again. "intelligence, down to 1. eloquence, down to 2. temperament,let‘s, make it, bad.again, that smileappear on his face.you know, lin, i wasn‘t going to get this far. i was going to make her just a little less excellent than me. but now that you are going to report me. i might as well jeopardize everything. andthat is so fun, just look at her!"the lady is speaking, but no one can understand. she is sweating and everyone inside seems reluctant to listen to her. and she starts yelling, screaming, stomping her feet like a crazy woman. in the end, she slams the door and runs away, as lee watching her and laughing.lin runs after her, calling out her name,mary! mary!and finally able to stop her from running any further. i know that you are ahumanoidrobot. i just want to tell you the truth. my friend lee has been changing you statistics. and that is why you are acting all strange inside. if you are willing, let‘s go back inside, and i will give you justice.""i know.mary wiped away her tears and sweats."what?lin seems confused."it is just the way it is. it is our business. we act like being controlled, because that is what you human beings are obsessed with, isn‘t it?"shesays it so easily, and starts to adjust her collars and dress."no, i assure you not. no one is like lee, he is crazy, and i assure you no one is as crazy as him!lin tries to explain."thank you. i know you are not like him. you are one of the good ones. but, brother, i have made a lot of money doing this; so, stay out of my business, will you?"lin watches mary walk away with all her poise. and he is just not able to explain anything anymore.。
