38、ion. And Ive talked about responsibility a lot. Ive talked about teachers responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.Ive talked about your parents responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and dont spend every waking hour in front of the TV

39、 or with the Xbox.Ive talked a lot about your governments responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that arent working, where students arent getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most

41、ents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. Thats what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.Passage 2 (C-E Translation) Directions: In this part, you will hear one short Chinese passage. After the passage is read, yo

42、u are required to translate it into English. 我首先要讲讲你们对自己应尽的责任（responsibility）。你们每个人都有自己的长处(advantage/strength/something you are good at)。你们每个人都能做出自己贡献（make contribution/something to offer）。你们对自己的应尽的责任是发现自己的能力（ability/capability/power）所在。而教育(education)能够提供(offer/provide)这样的机会(opportunity/chance)。 不论你

43、的生活志向（ambition/aspiration/what you want to do）是什么，我敢肯定(be sure/guarantee)你必须接受教育才能实现它。 你想当医生，教师或警官（police officer）吗？你相当护士(nurse)，建筑师(architect)，律师（lawyer）或军人(solider/member of the military)吗？ 你必须接受良好的教育，才能从事上述任何一种职业。 你不能指望辍学（drop out of school）后能碰上(drop into)个好工作。你必须接受培训(training)，为之努力(work for sth.

44、)，为之学习(learn for sth.)Key:Passage 1 我已做过很多次关羽教育的演讲，我多次谈到过责任问题。我谈到过教师激励学生冰督促他们学习的责任。我谈到过家长的责任，要确保你们走正路，完成家庭作业，不要整天坐在电视前或玩电子游戏。我多次谈到过政府的责任，要制定高标准，支持教师和校长的工作，彻底改善不能为学生提供应有的机会的，教育质量差的学校。但说到底，即使我们拥有最敬业的老师，最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校-如果你们大家不旅行自己的责任，不到学校上课，不专心听讲，不停父母，祖父母和其他大人的话，不付出取得成功所必需的勤奋努力，那么这一切都毫无用处，都无关紧要。这就是我今天讲

45、话的重点：你们每个人对自己的教育应尽的责任。Passage 2 I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you are good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. Thats the opportunity an educa

46、tion can provide.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that youll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? Youre going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. Youve got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.8
