Thank you very much. Thank you!
Thank you for Principal Xu, all the teachers and most importantly, the class of 2021. If I can’t make my speech fantastic, I will at least try to make it short.
It’s been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy. You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief. In fact, it all began from the half a ____46____ basic training, which I will never forget. The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without ____47____ and long painful runs in the soft sand. I always felt cold, wet, sleepy and painful.
The training also needed to find those who could ____48____ in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I’d like to talk about one little thing, which I think is one of the most important points leading to great ____49____.
Every morning in the training, my instructors (教官) would ____50____ in our rooms. The first thing they did was to ____51____ our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.
It was a(n) ____52____ task. But every morning we were required to make our beds ____53____.
It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.
If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the ____54____ task of the day. It will bring you a small sense of success, and it will ____55____ you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have ____56____ into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can’t do the little things right, you will ____57____ be able to do the big things right.
____58____ the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn’t matter whether I ever ____59____ a day in uniform. Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
In general, if you want to change the world, ____60____ off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future!

I can remember clearly the day I arrived at the language camp where something magical (有魔力的) happened to me.
My heart was beating fast and I really wanted to tell my mum to ____76____, but we were entering the gate and I knew it was too late. I was going to be dropped off and ____77____ alone at the age of nine for a whole week. At the gate to Skogfjorden, people started talking to me in Norwegian (挪威语). I couldn’t understand any other ____78____ but English. We then went through the welcome stations where I picked a new name and had my bags checked. Next, I was sent to my room. I was ____79____ all the time, wondering if I really could survive the whole week. Mom helped me unpack and organize my stuff (东西), but then she had to leave. I was terrified (惊恐,害怕) to tears. But by the time I got back to my room where my roommate, Bob, was waiting for me with a smiling face, I felt ____80____.
I was so scared the first night that I had to call Mom, ____81____ she insisted I should learn to be independent (独立). Right when I was feeling helpless, Bob’s mom called and her words comforted me, “Isn’t it ____82____ to know a group of kids of your age ” So it was! Leaving home meant I could connect with the rest of the world, know new people and explore new things. With this thought, the ____83____ began. Communicating in every way I could, I even found it ____84____ to get along with others. What’s more, I learned a lot of Norwegian in only five days and got used to the life here. I grew to _____85_____ this place. When my mom came to get me, I was excited to _____86_____ her around all my favourite places. After the closing ceremony (闭幕式), I was so _____87_____ to leave Skogfjorden and my new friends that I burst into tears again. I knew that I had to _____88_____ the next summer — I was hooked (着迷的).
Now, having been to Skogfjorden eight summers in a row (连续), I can’t wait to _____89_____ my little brothers to camp this summer.

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like others to notice me. And ___136___ the teacher assigned (指定) me a seat, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this ___137___ after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher ___138___ I should try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy ___139___. Because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, and I didn’t have the ___140___ to keep up with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. But because the teacher kept ___141___ my “going for it”, I decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to tryouts was only the half of it! When I first started ___142___ the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. Sometimes I took a shot at the ___143___ direction — which made me feel really stupid and I’d get confused (迷惑的). ___144___, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game. So I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session.
I practised and practised. Soon I ___145___ the rules and the moves. Being part of a team was fun and easy. Very soon, I got confidence from ___146___ several competitive matches. With time, I learned how to play and made friends — friends who respected my ___147___ to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With more self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates, I have gone from “___148___” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to draw attention, ___149___ raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent ___150___ I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
