Everybody wants to get wealth.In today’s material world,making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money,they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood. With money they can own luxurious cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.But is wealth the only road to happiness? Not really. There are many things in the world, which are beyond the means of money, such as friendship, love, health and knowledge. People are so preoccupied with struggling for money that they have no time or would not take the time to form or maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lonely miserable creatures without love or friends in the world even if they accumulate tremendous wealth?In my opinion, people can’t do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will add to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word,you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.Step 8 Homework4 students in a group, one acts Roderick, one Oliver, one servant and the fourth one acts Henry Adams, then listen to the tape, pay more attention to the difference between American English and British English in pronunciation, stress, tone.

The grammar of this unit is designed to review noun clauses. Sentences that use nouns in a sentence are called noun clauses.

（国庆节之后）国旗下讲话：感恩祖国
六十三年前的十月一日，毛泽东主席站在天安门城楼上庄严宣布一个新的共和国诞生了，六十三年后的今天，我们的祖国已是如此的强大，她在国际上的地位也一再提高。现在的中国在经历了六十三年的奋斗后，国家的综合实力已经得到了明显提升。在军事上，我们已经不在是小米加步枪的年代，取而代之的是更加精、尖、锐的现代化武器，我们能够自己制造核武器，从而打破其他国家的核威胁，我们拥有自己的航空母舰，使得我们能够更好的保卫我们的海疆。在经济上，我们不在是当年那个贫困潦倒的国家，现在的中国经济实力排名世界第二，并且是美国和日本的头号债主。在国内，我们人民的社会保障制度也在不断完善，如今，世界上拿着补贴种粮食的农民在哪里？在中国。
国家公祭日的国旗下讲话:勿忘国耻 立志成才
国家公祭日的国旗下讲话:勿忘国耻立志成才各位老师、同学们：大家好！今天，我讲话的题目是《勿忘国耻，立志成才》！今年，十二届全国人大常委会第七次会议表决通过了将12月13日确定为南京大屠杀死难者国家公祭日的决定。77年前的12月13日，一个比今天还要冷的日子。那一天日军的炮火轰开了南京的大门，灭绝人性的侵略者用机枪扫射、活埋、把人当做刺杀的靶子，对手无寸铁的中国平民进行了长达六周的惨绝人寰的大规模屠杀。他们以极其残忍的手段屠杀了我30万余同胞！惨叫四起，撕心裂肺；尸骸遍地，触目惊心。这是历史上屈辱的一天，这是让我们中国人心痛的日子，这是一段永远无法让中国人忘却的国耻。国家公祭，既是对自己死难同胞灵魂的安抚，也是对那些犯罪者的警示，警告这个罪孽深重又不愿悔改的邻国，更是告诫我们的国民，保持清醒状态，不要有片刻的忘却与麻木，绝不能忘却历史、忘却苦难。这不是在宣泄情绪，不是在倡导民族复仇，而是提醒我们每一个人，我们是一个整体，我们在共同悲痛。
国家公祭日国旗下讲话：勿忘国耻 圆梦中华
国家公祭日国旗下讲话：勿忘国耻圆梦中华敬爱的老师、亲爱的同学们：早上好！我是初一16班何思颖。今天我讲话的题目是：勿忘国耻，圆梦中华。踏着时间的脚步，我们又迎来了新的一周。唱起激昂的国歌，凝视着鲜艳的五星红旗，我的思绪万千……今年的2月27日，十二届全国人大常委会第七次会议，正式设立每年12月13日为南京大屠杀死难者国家公祭日。这是一个我们不该遗忘的日子，77年前的这一天，1937年12月13日，日本侵略者在中国南京开始对我们的同胞实施长达四十多天惨绝人寰的大屠杀，三十多万同胞惨遭杀戮，制造了震惊世界的南京大屠杀惨案。我们不应该忘记中华民族曾经那段风雨飘摇的日子。历史是一面明镜，也是一本教科书。历史告诉我们：落后就要挨打，闭关锁国，固步自封只能使中国成为别国欺辱侵略的“靶子”；历史告诉我们：民族生死存亡关头，更需要强大的民族凝聚力；历史告诉我们：热爱和平，人类才能获得真正的幸福。在第二个“国家公祭日”到来前夕，作为学生的我们能做一些什么呢？
爱国主题国旗下讲话：爱国，我的责任
尊敬的领导，亲爱的老师、同学们：大家早上好！今天我讲话的题目是：爱国，我的责任！我们都知道“天下兴亡”的下一句，是“匹夫有责”，而台湾的一位校长，却给了一个与众不同的答案。他说，天下兴亡，我的责任。这一句话告诉我们，责任，不当推给匹夫；爱国，不应只是口号。我们每一个人，都应该把爱国作为自己的责任和义务，并以这种强烈的责任感来履行这种义务。很多人，特别是我们青少年，觉得爱国很遥远，总认为它应该发生在建功立业时，应是一番惊天动地的行为，应是在抵御敌寇战死疆场的视死如归，应是驱除鞑虏恢复中华的雄图伟业……。但其实爱国并不遥远，也并不抽象，身边的小事就是他的具象化。身为人子，当你为父母捧上一杯热茶消解他们一天工作的辛劳；当你用有力的手掌紧紧握住父母的手带他们穿过车流不息的马路；当你退去年少无知的骄躁，用稳重的肩担起家庭的希望时，你便成就了百善之首——孝，这便是继承发扬中国传统文化的精髓，这，便是爱国。
爱国，是民族的灵魂(十一国庆节前国旗下的讲话)
爱国，是民族的灵魂敬爱的老师、亲爱的同学们：今天，我非常的荣幸，能够站在庄严的国旗下为大家演讲。再过两天就是国庆节了，再我们为放假高兴的时候，不要忘了我是一个中国人！爱国是我们必须做的！中华民族是一个伟大的民族，爱国主义精神是我们这个民族最美的花朵。爱国，是一个神圣的字眼，在历史发展的曲折过程中，爱国主义历来是我国人民所崇尚的。进入二十一世纪，我们伟大的祖国日益繁荣昌盛，爱国主义更应该成为这个时代的最强音！爱国主义是我国各族人民团结奋斗的光辉旗帜，是推动我国社会历史前进的强大动力，而爱国教育无疑是最重要的教育！回顾中华民族的历史长河，无数为国家抛头颅、洒热血、无私奉献的民族英雄至今活在我们心中，古代，有南宋的岳飞，明代的戚继光，郑成功……近代以来，为了保卫国家，反抗帝国主义的侵略，更是有许多仁人志士为捍卫民族主权而慷慨就义。新中国成立以后，有很多杰出人物，如邓稼先、华罗庚、钱学森等等，他们放弃国外荣华富贵的生活，回到贫穷的祖国来，为国家的现代化建设贡献自己的力量。这些人的光辉形象和他们可歌可泣的动人事迹，永远激励着每一个中国人奋发向上！
