(选自译林版选择性必修第四册 Unit 1) Taking Responsibility Honoured guests，teachers and students，it is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you here today and present my thoughts on this special occasion. Students，the time has arrived for you to fully accept your passage into adulthood.I have seen you grow from nervous Senior 1 students into confident young adults，who sit before me today，ready to embrace the next phase of your lives.You must be both excited and anxious about the new experiences that are in store for you.Don’t worry，for you are all responsible young people，well prepared and well equipped to successfully manage the challenges of the years ahead. At school，you have gradually understood the importance of a well-developed sense of responsibility.You accept that you are responsible for your successes and your failures.Hopefully，you have learnt to treat responsibility not as a weight that burdens you，but rather as a foundation which will support your future development.A ship without an anchor is at the mercy of the waves and winds；likewise，a person who has no sense of responsibility is at the mercy of their own careless and thoughtless behaviour. As students，you must take your studies seriously and accept responsibility for your own learning.This means meeting deadlines for your schoolwork，following your teachers’ guidance，and of course，always aiming for academic excellence.However，your responsibilities go far beyond your studies.As you go through your daily life，you will encounter many difficult situations where things may go wrong.Instead of being quick to blame others，analyse the problem，and if it is indeed your own fault，be ready to admit your mistake and then correct it.This way，you practise the virtue of courage.Always give your best in whatever you set out to do，however difficult that might be.This way，you practise the virtue of determination.Be honest by saying what you mean and by meaning what you say.This way，you practise the virtue of integrity.Taking responsibility in all aspects of your everyday life，therefore，will help build a strong character. Apart from personal development，assuming responsibility for your actions is also important for the betterment of society.Society is an organic whole，and as social beings，we have a responsibility to make a contribution.You may have heard the story of a small boy who tried to save starfish left on the beach after a storm，by throwing them back into the sea.Passers-by told him that he was wasting his time，for he could not possibly save them all.However，the boy was not discouraged，believing that he could make a difference to the ones that he saved.As a result，the passers-by felt inspired and joined him in saving the starfish.Similarly，the little things you do can make a difference！For example，picking up garbage around your neighbourhood contributes to a cleaner environment.Reporting a speeding car helps ensure road safety.Being energy-efficient leads to savings of our precious natural resources.Doing volunteer work at a local nursing home brings love and warmth to the elderly.Just like the “starfish boy”，you may even inspire people around you to do the same，which is an added bonus.Working together，we have the power to gradually but continuously advance our society. So，dear students，take your first step into the adult world by accepting your responsibilities，so that adulthood will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for both you and those around you.Sometimes，responsibilities may weigh heavily on you.However，just as the Chinese saying goes，“Jade is good-for-nothing if not carved.” A man cannot be perfected without trials.Sow the seeds of success today and your harvest will be great tomorrow.I wish you every success in your adult life! 1．What is the author’s purpose in giving the speech?

[结构分析] 此句为复合句，“grow from...”是省略了“to”的不定式短语，作动词see的宾语补足语。who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“confident young adults”。“ready to...”是形容词短语作伴随状语。 [汉语翻译] 我见证了你们从紧张的高一学生成长为自信的年轻人，如今你们就坐在我的面前，准备好迎接人生的下一个阶段。 2．You may have heard the story of a small boy who tried to save starfish left on the beach after a storm，by throwing them back into the sea. [结构分析] 此句为复合句。“may have heard”是“情态动词＋现在完成时”结构，表示对过去情况的推测。who 引导定语从句，修饰先行词“a small boy”。“left on the beach...”是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰“starfish”。 [汉语翻译] 你们可能听过一个小男孩的故事，他试图通过把暴风雨后留在海滩上的海星扔回大海，来拯救它们。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
