Our Future: A Battle between Dreams And Reality

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

When I was in the primary school, I have a dream. I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all. When I was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate.

How pathetic! When we grow up, we dream less And become more realistic. Why? Why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be "fulfilled"? Why do we have to surrender to the so-called "reality"? What IS the reality actually?

Ladies And gentlemen, the reality is not real. It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible fantasies. Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. A hundred years ago, "man could not fly" was still regarded as the "reality". Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams.

People say that our future is a battle between the reality And our dreams. And if, unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality; People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality; 4)Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings And intolerance IS the reality.

Ladies And gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise your hands. Oh, quite a number of you! Actually, ladies And gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task. Every one of us has to make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished. How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream And that you don't dream anymore? Dear 5)adjudicators, what do you think? C.S. Lewis once said,"You are never too old to dream a new dream." So for our future, please dream And be unrealistic.

Now that I am a university student, my goal is to graduate with excellences. But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future. One day, people living in the areas now 6)sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families And enjoy their every moment. One day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries And those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves. One day, different cultures in this age of globalization will coexist with tolerance And the unfriendly confrontations among them will be 7)eliminated. One day, the globe will share the dream with me And we will all contribute to making our dream come true. One day, our dream will defeat the reality! Thank you very much.

主持人：Thank you.

问题：Now in the age of the Internet,reading books does not seem as important as it once was.Do you think people can learn as much on the Internet as they can by reading books?Which method do you prefer?

回答：Thank you very much.And hello again ladies and gentlemen.Actually,I don't really agree with the first sentence of this topic:"In the age of the Internet,reading books does not seem as important as it was once."Why?Why is it the case?Why is it the situation,ladies and gentlemen?Actually,Internet or books are just like tea or coffee.They are similar,but they are different.Unibersity students nowdays love to use the Internet to search for information when they are working with their essays.Like,last semester,when I was working with my physics essay,I logged into Google and I searched for "NEWTON" and all the laws and theories of Newton just popped out and I can choose whichever one I like to use.But when I walked into the library,all the books came out and I have to choose which one to read.How inconvenient!Maybe you can say at this moment,"Oh,Internet is better,books no use."So I have to use Internet,right?But let's see the things in another way.I love traveling a lot and I love to bring a book with me.And I love to read my Da Vinci Code when I was having my trip on a bus or on a ship.Actually,whenever it is,wherever you go,whatever you are doing,you can take out a book and read if you feel like doing so.Now who will bother to take a laptop and switch it on,and search for the Internet connection,and look for stories to read.How inconvenient!So at this very moment I think it's quite dangerous for me,because I think I'm unable to answer the question in the topic"Which method do you prefer,Internet or books?"because I love the feeling of conjuring a hundred pages of Harry Potter,more than scrolling down the screen;but at the same time I love the feeling of searching the things,the speed of my searching for things on the Internet,more than wasting my time in the library.So in this age of Internet,in this age of modernization,in this age of civilization,why do you have to force someone to choose between internet and books?I prefer using both of them.Thank you very much.

问题：Contestant No.13.Thank you very much for encouraging us to be unrealistic dreamers(Thank you) and not surrender to Mr.Reality.(hehe..) With the traffic jam getting worse--especially in big cities--I'm actually very interested in your childhood dream:To invent a device that can move people around easily.Is this still your dream?If not,why do you give it up?Is it because it is considered unrealistic?Thank you.

回答：Thank you very much.This is not my dream now.Not because it is (not), realistic.Maybe you can say it's unrealistic.But if I,my …… 此处隐藏：6153字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
