2、ate. you had no choice but to take them. from now on, you may study on your own. i would advise you to work hard at some special field when you are still young and vigorous. your youth will be gone that will never come back to you again. when you are old, and when your energy are getting poorer, you
3、 will not be able to as you wish to. even though you have to study in order to make a living, studies will never live up to you. making a living without studying, you will be shifted out in three or five years. at this time when you hope to make it up, you will say it is too late. perhaps you will s

5、l not study further even though they have one and all these who wait to have a lab will not do experiments even though they have one. when you have a firm resolution and determination to solve a problem, you will naturally economize on food and clothing. as for time, i should say its not a problem.

9、oodbye!诸位毕业生同学: 你们现在要离开母校了,我没有什么礼物送给你们,只好送你们一句话吧。这句话是:”不要抛弃学问”。以前的功课也许有一大部分是为了这张文凭,不得已而做的。从今以后,你们可以依自己的心愿去研究了。趁着现在年富力强时候,努力做一种专门的学问。少年是一去不返的,等到精力衰退时,要做学问也来不及了。既为吃饭计,学问绝不会辜负人的。吃饭而不求学问,三年五年之后,你们都要被先进的少年淘汰掉的。到那时再想做点学问来补救,恐怕已晚了。 有人说:”出去做事之后,生活问题急需解决,哪有功夫去读书?即使要做学问,既没有图书馆,也没有实验室,哪能做学问?” 我要对你们说:凡是要等到有了图书馆
10、才读书的,有了图书馆也不肯读书;凡是要等到有了实验室才做研究的,有了实验室也不肯做研究。你有了决心要解决一个问题,自然会节衣缩食去买书,自然会想出法子来购置仪器。 至于时间,更不成问题。达尔文一生多病,不能多做工,每天只能做一小时的工作。你们看他的成绩!每天花一小时看十页有用的书,每年可看三千六百多页书,三十年读十一万页书。 诸位,十一万页的书可以使你成为一个学者了。可是,每天看三种小报也得费你一小时的功夫;四圈麻将也得费你一个半小时的光阴。看小报呢?打麻将呢?还是努力做一位学者?全靠你自己选择! 易卜生说:”你的最大责任是把你这块材料铸成器。” 学问便是铸器的工具。抛弃了学问便是毁了你自己。
11、 再会了!你们的母校眼睁睁地要看你们十年之后成什么器。 the thinking mans choice contact is made. nerves order the heart to pump faster. adrenalin surges to action. nerves constrict the blood vessels in the extremities of the body. skin temperature drops. fingers and toes grow colder. blood pressure jump. an alcoholic or a dop

13、 will be one in 275. their chances of dying of lung cancer will be one in 10 if they become heavy smokerstwo or more packs a day. lung cancer is fatal in 95 per cent of all cases. but in spite of glaring evidence and frequent warnings, the public is smoking more and more. the department of agricultu
14、re estimates that this years consumption of cigarettes will reach 180 packs per person fifteen years of age and over. how many cigarettes does this mean per person?3600. why is smoking such an important problem? because smoking is not a mere habit, as so many think it is. no, it is more serious than
15、 that. a habit can be broken easily enough, but an addiction cannot. smokers lapse into helplessness! daniel schubert, of the university of chicago, quizzed 226 students at a large northwestern college about their smoking habitswhy they started, what satisfaction they got, and if they wanted to stop
16、. according to schubert, they wanted to quit smoking; but they couldnt. if one is addicted to cigarettes, he is dependent upon them physically, as well as psychologically. what is it, if it is not addiction, that motivates a man to go out in sub-zero weather to buy a pack of cigarettes? if necessary
17、, he will drive ten miles late at night to find an open drugstore. what is it, if it is not addiction, that makes a moocher of an otherwise charming young girl? i was talking to a professor not long ago who had just quit smoking. he told me what most of you already knowthat once the habit is started
18、, watch out! it is next to impossible to stop smoking. i asked him how he ever managed to quit when he had been smoking over a pack a day for ten years. listen to his story. “well, i cut down to one-half pack a day for the first week. i was touchy most of the time. the slightest irritation made my n

20、any of you know what this professor is talking about; you, too, have tried to break the addiction, but have failed. in the few minutes we have here today we can analyze the motives at the root of our smoking problem. perhaps we can assure those who do not smoke, (and i am happy i can still include m
21、yself in this group), to nip in the bud the urges of those who are about to begin smoking, and to encourage to cut-down those who are already confirmed smokers. lets begin with group pressures. we race to maturity, to grow up all at once. we want poise, selfconfidence, and lots of friends; we want t
22、o be accepted. this need for acceptance reminds me of an incident that occurred in a campus sorority house during the “rushing period” last fall. a sorority member offered a rushee a cigarette. eager to please and not to seem different, the girl blurted out a confident, “oh, yes, id love one!” the a
23、ctive struck a match, was calmly extending it toward the rushee when the flustered freshman met the active half-way with cigarette in hand. the active was thunderstruck. you can imagine her mixed emotions while striving to stifle her amusement and at the same time to understand that the poor rushee
24、had never smoked before. in the excitement of the moment she was only concerned with being accepted. then there is the girl who is seated in a group, not knowing what to do with her hands. first, she rolls and unrolls the curl behind her left ear; then she rummages in her purse for some article to w
