漠视不可能!Google创始人拉里佩奇密歇根大学毕业典礼经典演讲(中英文版)
漠视不可能！Google创始人拉里·佩奇密歇根大学毕业典礼经典演讲（中英文收藏版）拉里·佩奇，全名劳伦斯·爱德华·佩奇(Lawrence Edward Page)，Google公司的创始人之一。
美国密歇根大学安娜堡分校的荣誉毕业生，拥有密歇根大学理工科学士学位和斯坦福大学计算机科学博士学位。
2011年4月4日正式出任谷歌CEO。
2016年，拉里·佩奇在《福布斯》杂志评出的“2016年全球最具影响力人物”排行榜中高居榜首。
Google是一个传奇，不仅仅是因为其经济实力，也因为它拥有令无数求职者垂涎万尺的企业文化：牛仔裤、T-shirt 衫的随意穿着，美餐、中餐、印度餐等一应俱全的大食堂，免费就医、洗衣、洗车的服务，甚至可以带上狗狗和滑板车一起上班……这些疯狂的想法之所以能成为现实，谷歌CEO拉里•佩奇(Larry Page)功不可没。
谷歌的故事，举世瞩目。
2009年5月，拉里•佩奇获邀在母校密歇根大学的毕业典礼上发表演讲。
在演讲中，拉里字真意深地讲述自己与密歇根大学的深厚渊源，因为自己全家皆毕业于此。
身为普通工人的祖父，将自己的一对儿女送进密歇根大学，从此这个家庭踏上了“美国梦”的成真之路。
他还透露，创立谷歌的最初灵感竟也来自一个夜半惊醒的梦！他用自己和家人的故事告诉毕业生们，“When a really great dream shows up, grab it!”，鼓励大家勇敢追梦，并深情地告诉大家要珍视家人... ...Google创始人拉里·佩奇在密歇根大学2009毕业典礼上的演讲视频【演讲全文中英文稿】Class of 2009! First I’d like you to stand up, and wave and cheer your supportive family and friends! I’m sure you can find them out there. Show your love!2009届的同学们，首先我希望大家都站起来，向支持你们的亲朋好友挥手致意!我相信你们都能在人群中找到他们，把你们的爱表现出来吧!A long time ago, in this cold September of 1962, there was a Steven’s co-op at this very university. That co-op had a kitchen with a ceiling that had been cleaned by student volunteers probably every decade or so. Picture a college girl named Gloria, climbing up high on a ladder, struggling to clean that filthy ceiling. Standing on the floor, a young boarder named Carl was adm iring the view. And that’s how they met. They were my parents, so I suppose you could say I’m a direct result of that kitchen chemistry experiment, right here at Michigan.很久以前，1962年的寒冷9月，这座校园里有一家史蒂文消费合作社。
中国地质大学2016年外国语言学复习经验
中国地质大学（北京）2016年外国语言学复习经验决定考地大是在去年九月，那时候就发现论坛里外语版块的信息真是少之又少啊。
好不容易挖到两个学长学姐的扣扣，大家也是冷冷清清清汤挂面的回答两句就不见了。
（当时特桑感为嘛金翅哥不是咱外语学院的呢，闷）关于招生人数地大不公布招生人数，但有心的考生应该能从录取名单上有个general idea 吧。
地大外语学院今年招收两个方向研究生，英美文学和语言学，并没有招收报考翻译硕士专业学位的考生。
今年两个方向进入复试人数总共15人，其中参加语言学方向面试的有10人，文学有5人。
最后的录取结果是语言学方向录取9人，其中6名推免生；文学方向录取了5人，其中推免生2人。
对于学文科的孩纸来说是不是有点难理解?说直白点就是真正参加研究生考试的考生只录取了6人，语言学和文学各3人，其中公费的只有2人，也是两个方向各一个。
So，形势是很严峻的！大家报考前要慎重考虑、慎重决定、慎重努力啊！关于考试真题地大从08就不再公布真题了，所以楼主也只有论坛上提供的n早以前的真题了，不过不得不说这些n年前的题还是很有参考价值的，大方向基本是没变的。
下面楼主为大家回忆一下今年的真题：基础英语：第一题：词汇题 10’两个词选一个填，不需要变形，不是形近就是意近，楼主觉得对于英专的孩纸应该是小case了第二题：改错题 20’都是一些不知道哪里摘录的句子，很文艺啊，有种英美文学的风格，有零有整的，一句就是一题，有20句，楼主感觉这题算是全毁了……第三题：阅读 70’貌似是四篇，题型和06、05年的差不多，千奇百怪的……第一篇是读文章回答问题，主观题，一篇散文，大致考的是修辞手法；第二篇也是类似的回答问题把，第三篇让把一篇四五百字的文章paraphrase一下，挺考技术的，第四篇好像才回到选择题的题型。
第四题：写作 50’这部分有两个小题，第一题是根据一句话发散思维，写一个以给出句子为中心句的三四句话的小段落，占10分。

Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage.

This term expresses thefeeling of not knowing what to do or how to dothings in a new environment. This termexpresses the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment. We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort a person suffers when coming to live in a place different from the place of origin.Often, the way that we live before is not accepted or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines, not knowing how to use telephones, and so forth.The symptoms of culture shock can appear at different times. Although a person can experience real pain from culture shock, it is also an opportunity for growing and learning new perspectives. Culture shock can help people develop a betterunderstanding of themselves and stimulate personal creativity.Culture shock has many stages. Each stage can be ongoing, or appear only at certain times. In the first stage, the new arrival may feel very happy about all of the new experience. This time is called the honeymoon stage. Afterward, the second stage presents itself. A person may encounter some difficulties in daily life. For example, communication difficulties may occur, such as not being understood. In this stage, there may be feelings of impatience, anger and sadness. Transition between the old methods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete. The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. A person may start to feel a psychological balance. The individual is more familiar with the environment and wants to belong. This starts an evaluation of the old ways versus those of the new. In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and bad things to offer. This stage can be one of double integration or triple integration, depending on the number of cultures that the person has to process. This integration is characterized by a more solid feeling of belonging. The person starts to define himself or herself and establish goals for living. The fifth stage is the stage that is called the reentry shock. This occurs when a person returns to the newly acquired customs are considered improper in the old culture.Questions 56—60Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank.Introduced in 1958, culture shock is a term used to (56) __________ physical and emotional discomfort people experience when they come to or live in a new place. Although many people suffer a lot from culture shock, it is an (57) _________ for personal improvement. The five stages of culture shock may last for a long time or show up once in a while. In the first stage, the (58) __________ stage, the new arrival might be OK with everything. Afterward, (59) ________ from old methods to the newone calls for time and energy. During the third and fourth stage, people may gain more understanding of the new culture and possess objective views. The double or triple integration is (60) __________ by a feeling of belonging. The last stage, called reentry shock, refers to the feeling people have when returning to their home country.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.For some people, it would be unthinkable. But Gabe Henderson is finding freedom in a recent decision; he canceled his MySpace account. The 26 years old graduate student stopped his account after realizing that a lot of his online friends were really just acquaintances. ―The superficial emptiness clouded the excitement I had once felt,‖Henderson wrote in an article. ―It seems we have lost, to some degree, the special depth that true friendship is about.‖Journalism professor Michael Bugeja, who is a strong supporter of face-to-face communication, read Henderson’s column and saw it was a sign of hope. Though he’s not anti-technology, Bugeja often lectures students about ―interpersonal intelligence‖—knowing when, where, and for what purpose technology is most appropriate. He points out the students he’s seen walking across campus, holding hands with each other while talking on cell phones to someone else He’s also seen them in coffee shops, surrounded by people, but staring instead at a computer screen. ―True friends,‖he says, ―need to learn when to stop blogging and go across campus to help a friend.‖These days, young people are more wired than ever—but they’re also getting more worried. Increasingly, they’ve had to deal with online bullies, who are posting anything from embarrassing photos to online threats. And increasingly, young people also are realizing that things they post on their profiles can come back to hurt them when applying for schools or jobs.Social networking can be an ―extremely effective‖way to publicize events to large groups. It can even help build a sense of community on campus. People joinedFacebook as a way to meet others. However, it has limitations. A good Internet profile could make even the most boring person seem some what interesting. People are also not always happy with text messages on the cell phones. Cell phones can be a quick way to say ―have a good day‖. But friends can also cancel a night out with a text message to avoid having to explain. ―Our generation needs to get over this fear of confrontation and rejection.‖Henderson says. ―The focus needs to be on quality communication, in all ways.‖ Back in his life, Henderson is enjoying spending more face-to-face time with his friends and less with his computer. He says his decision to quit his social-networking Internet accounts was a good one. ―I’m not sacrificing friends,‖he says, ―because if a picture, some basic information about their life and a Web page is all my friendship has become, then there was nothing to sacrifice to begin with.‖Questions 61—63Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.61. Although Henderson quit MySpace, most of his online friends are actually close friends.62. According to Bugeja, young people should know when to use technology and when to stop using it.63. Social networking helps build a sense of community but has a negative effect on young people’s life if it is used inappropriately.Questions 64—65Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.64. What does Henderson lose by using social networking websites like Myspace?65. What do young people need to overcome in order to focus on qualitycommunication?Section C (10 marks)Questions 66—70 are based on thefollowing passage.―Five …Four …Three …Two …One …See ya! ‖andChance McGuire, twenty-five, is airborne off a 600 –foot concrete dam in Northern California. In one second he falls 15 feet, in two seconds 60 feet, and after three seconds and 130 feet, he is flying at 66 miles an hour.McGuire is a practitioner of what he calls the king of all extreme sports. BASE—an acronym for building, antenna, span (bridge) and earth (cliffs)—jumping has one of the sporting world’s highest fatality rates: in its 18-year history, forty –six participants have been killed. Y et the sport has never been more popular, with more than a thousand jumpers in the United States, and more seeking to get into it every day. It is an activity without margin for error. If your chute malfunctions, don’t bother researching for a reserve—there isn’t time. There are no second chances.Still, the sport may be a perfect fit with the times. Americans may have more in common with McGuire than they know or care to admit. America has embarked on a national orgy of thrill seeking and risk taking. The rise of adventure and extreme sports such as BASE jumping, snowboarding, ice climbing, skateboarding, and paragliding is merely the most vivid manifestation of this new national behavior.The rising popularity of extreme sports speaks of an eagerness on the part of millions of Americans to participate in activities closer to the edge, where danger, skill, and fear combine to give weekend warriors and professional athletes alike a sense of pushing out personal boundaries. According to American Sports Data Inc., a consulting firm, participation in so-called extreme sports is way up. Snowboarding has grown 113 percent in five years and now boasts nearly 5.5 million participants. Mountain hiking, skateboarding, scuba diving—their growth curves reveal a nation that loves to play with danger. Contrast that with activities such as baseball, touch football, and aerobics, all of which were in steady decline throughout the 1990s.The pursuits that are becoming more popular have one thing in common: the perception that they are somehow more challenging than a game of touch football. ―Every human being with two legs and two arms is going to wonder how fast, how strong, how enduring he or she is,‖ says Eric Perlman, a mountaineer and film maker specializing in extreme sports. ―We are designed to experience or die.‖Questions 66—68Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage in a maximum of 4 words for each blank.66. _______ rates doesn’t stop people from getting into BASE jumping every day.67. The rise of extreme sports manifests the national behavior of _______ and________.68. The combination of fear, skill and danger gives both amateurs and professionals asense of ______.Questions 69—70Choose the best answer according to the passage.69. Which of the following activities reveals a nation that loves to play activities closer to the edge?A. Touch football.B. Baseball.C. Scuba diving.D. Aerobics.70. What does Eric mean by saying ―We are designed to experience or die‖?A. Life with great challenges is a meaningful one.B. Life without great experiences is very common.C. People may die while doing extreme sports.D. Extreme sports are essential parts of human life.Section D (10 marks)Questions 71—75 are based on the following passage.Albert Einstein was one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known. He formulated theories of relativity, successfully described the nature of the universe and came up with the most famous equation in the world. David Beckham is the footballer whose skills and precision have made him one of the most gifted sportsmen of his generation. Who is more intelligent?How Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (MI) dares us to put these two men on neighboring pedestals. Instead of regarding intelligence as a single quantity measurable by pen-and-paper tests, Gardner, an education professor at Harvard University, divides human intelligence into no fewer than eight separate categories ranging from mathematical to musical competence. (74)His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence. Gardner’s point is that quantity measures only one capacity, the sort of mental agility that is valued in academicachievement, and that this single number does not do justice to human potential. So he has created his own spheres of achievement. Some categories are easily reconcilable with general perceptions about IQ. For example, ―linguistic‖intelligence confers a mastery of language, and is the preserve of such people as poets, writers and linguists. ―Logical mathematical‖intelligence marks out people who take a reasoning approach to physical things, and seek underlying principles. Einstein is the standard –bearer of this group, which also includes philosophers. These two categories are the main components of what we generally think of as ―intelligence‖.―Musical‖intelligence characterizes musicians, composers and conductors. ―Spatial‖ intelligence is about being able to picture perspective, to visualize a world in one’s head with great accuracy. Chess players, artists and architects would rate highly in this category. Dancers, athletes and actors are lumped under the ―bodily-kinesthetic‖ heading; these individual, like Beckham, are able to control their bodies and movements very carefully.Then come two types of ―personal‖intelligence-intrapersonal, the ability to gauge one’s own mood, feelings and mental states, and interpersonal, being able to gauge it in others and use the information. These two categories could be interpreted as emotional intelligence. Psychiatrists are particularly adept at the former, while religious leaders and politicians are seen as people who can exploit the latter.Charles Darwin is perhaps the perfect embodiment of the eighth intelligence –―naturalist‖. This label describes people with a deep understanding of the natural world and its objects. Zoologists and botanists can count themselves among this group.(75)These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that, in these areas, the re is a spectrum of human ability ranging from the hopeless to the brilliant. But are these really intelligences, or could these competences be more accurately described as gifts or talents?Questions 71—73Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.71. What are the main components of ―intelligence‖ we generally think of?72. What kind of abilities does emotional intelligence involve?73. Which intelligences are represented by Einstein and Beckham respectively?Questions 74—75Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into Chinese.74. His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence.75. These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that, in these areas, there is a spectrum of human ability ranging from the hopeless to the brilliant.Part V Translation (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the hints given in brackets. Remember to write the answer on the answer sheet.76. 既然没有退路了，我们不妨试试他的方法。

【2016】芝加哥大学：语言学女孩坚定且执着的追梦之旅！
一提到语言学，大家可能都很陌生，甚至会想一个高中生怎么会对这个专业感兴趣，因为通常
这个专业只有大学生才会了解到。所以当见到Z同学的时候我们的顾问是又惊又喜。惊是惊讶小小
年纪对语言学方面就已经展现出浓厚的学术兴趣，喜是对这个同学的申请之路我们充满了美好的期
待。
在第一次头脑风暴之后我们就发现了Z同学有一个非常致命的弱点，缺少高含金量的活动，大
多都是一些常规的志愿者服务类型。虽然在学术上已经有明确的兴趣，但是也只是停留在自己学习
和摸索的阶段，并没有任何实质性的成果。所以如何在距离申请季已经剩下不到半年的时间里完善
她的背景成了当务之急。
首先在学术方面我们帮她联系了外国语大学的语言学教授，一方面学习大学的课程，一方面请
教授对Z同学自己的语言学研究项目进行指导。最后语言学方面不但有了很大的进步，同时在语言
学的细分专业语源学领域里写出了一篇论文并作为附加材料交给了申请的学校。在活动方面，Z同
学参加了演讲和辩论赛，从而让她的性格更加外向。
在考试规划方面，周同学已经取得了托福115，SAT2260的成绩。我们给她的建议是不必再考，
应当准备比较有竞争力的两门SAT2考试，法语和美国历史。
虽然周同学一开始对法语考试没有太多信心，但是我们一再的鼓励和强调，在当今的申请行驶
中，一堆中国学生都是数理化满分，如果能有一门语言和一门历史的成绩，在申请中会非常具有优
势。最后她也是不负所望，这两门比较难的SAT2科目考试中取得很理想的分数，从而使她的申请更
加锦上添花。
Z同学的申请之路有条有紊，我清晰的记得第一次见面时候问到她以后最理想的职业是什么的
时候，她给我了一个非常肯定和坚定的回答，那就是成为一名语言学教授。如今她选择去有着卓越
学术能力的芝加哥大学深造语言学，我相信她的教授梦在不久的将来一定会实现。
“博观而约取，厚积而薄发”2016年天道留学的录取势必会更加精彩。
天道老师的耐心咨询与专业指导、天道学子的优秀成绩与积极配合创造了今日势不可挡的录取
