如果你看着这上方的图表，你会看到在2025年，高盛投资公司的这些预测表明中国经济规模会和美国经济几乎相当。
如果看2050年的图表，预测表明中国经济规模将会是美国经济的两倍，印度的经济规模将会和美国的经济几乎持平。
在这里，我们应该记住这些预测是在西方经济危机之前做出的。

我的生活 演讲稿
我的平凡生活平凡,是生活的本色。
我们每一个人，对于这个浩缈的世界来说，都十分渺小、脆弱、微不足道。
这个世界也是平凡的，悲与欢、生与死、穷与富、世事的变更，于历史的长河来说，无非是些平凡事。
对于平凡，我素来都是这样认为的，直到读了一本书——《平凡的世界》，这才恍然大悟。
这一部伟大的巨著，为我们解说了平凡和苦难，阐释了生活的意义。
书中为我们描述的是一个平凡的世界，一个黄土地上的世界。
这里生活着一群世世代代面朝黄土北朝天的普通人，他们演绎着一幕幕生老病死、悲欢离合、贫穷与富裕、苦难与拼搏、世事变更的戏剧。
是喜剧
悲剧
正剧
也许都有一点。
在这本书里，没有华丽的辞藻、没有惊险离奇的情节，没有惊天动地的场面，有的只是平凡的人,平凡的生活,平凡的感情,平凡的故事。
老师推荐我读这本书的时候，我还以为她是在搪塞我，因为我读完第一遍的时候，我没有任何感觉，这里面的事情太平凡了，平凡得让我感觉到他们都好像是发生在我的身边。
然而，当我读到第三遍的时候，我已经感觉到了我的血液慢慢地开始沸腾了。
书中给我印象最深的人物是孙少平。
这是一位对苦难有着深切的认识，对生活有着深邃的理解，对精神世界有着深刻追求的人，他有铮铮铁骨，有强大的精神力量，有巨大的勇气。
从学生时代的非洲人到成年时代的揽工汉，他经历的是艰苦卓绝的人生奋斗，然而在痛苦与磨砺中，他形成了一种对苦难的骄傲感、崇高感。
我欣赏他的苦难的哲学，钦佩他对劳动的认识，羡慕他对生活的理解。
关于苦难的哲学，书中这样表达……是的，他是在社会的最底层挣扎，为了几个钱而受尽折磨；但是他已经不仅仅将此看作是谋生、活命……他现在倒很“热爱”自己的苦难。
通过这一段血火般的洗礼，他相信，自己经历千辛万苦而酿造出来的生活之蜜，肯定比轻而易举拿来的更有滋味——他自嘲地把自己的这种认识叫做‘关于苦难的学说’……这是一种什么样的认识啊
每到我们遇到困难、挫折的时候——也许这种困难与挫折只有孙少平所遭受的苦难的百万分之一——我们可曾有过这样的认识
就算是哪天放学是下了场雨，亦或是天气有些闷热而又停了电，我们往往会听到许多的怨天尤人。
然而，我想只要是你读了《平凡的世界》以后，读懂了“苦难的哲学”，那么就算是你今后遭受再多的苦难，你也不会怨天尤人。
对于劳动的认识，书中这样写道：“一个人精神是否充实，或者说活得有无意义，主要取决于他对劳动的态度。
”这绝对是一条精辟的理论，在任何时候都不会过时的理论。
“只有劳动才可能使人在生活中强大。
无论什么人，最终还是要那些能用双手创造生活的劳动者。
对于这些人来说，孙少平给他们上了生平最重要的一课——如何对待劳动，这是人生最基本的课题。
”这里体现出的是两种人，勤劳的和懒散的。
人生来是没有差别的，然而经过了不同的境遇和发展之后，人与人之间便产生了巨大的差别。
而在这期间，对于劳动的认识不同，对产生这样的差别起着决定性的作用。
正如我们考到大学的时候，在学习方面，我们没有太多的差别。
然而，经历了三年的大学生活之后，人与人之间的差别又是何其巨大。
宰相刘罗锅在和绅临终前对他说：“其实，每个人的结局，都是他自己一手精心设计的。
”当我们读到这里的时候，我们都应当好好想想，我们是怎样对待劳动的。
孙少平，到底是一个什么样的人啊。
其实，他也就是一个平平凡凡的人，一个比普通农民多读了几本书，一个对生活的意义有着更高层次追求的人。
在写给妹妹孙兰香的信中充分表现了他对生活的认识： “我们出生于贫苦的农民家庭——永远不要鄙薄我们的出身，它给我们带来的好处将使我们一生受用不尽；但我们一定又要从我们出身的局限中解脱出来，从意识上彻底背叛农民的狭隘性，追求更高的生活意义。
首先要自强自立，勇敢地面对我们不熟悉的世界。
不要怕苦难
如果能深刻理解苦难，苦难就会给人带来崇高感。
……如果生活需要你忍受痛苦，你一定要咬紧牙关坚持下去。
有位了不起的人说过：痛苦难道会是白受的吗
它应该使我们伟大
什么是平凡
那种迷失在平凡的生活之中，眼中熟悉了平淡，思想上甘于平庸，生活上安于现状的人，才是真正的平凡。
孙少平这样一个对生活的意义有着更高追求的人，又怎能称之为平凡的人。
即使是平凡，也是一个更高层次的伟大的平凡。
我们生活在一个幸福的时代，没有经受太多的苦难，然而我们的世界也是平凡的。
我们每一天过这平凡的生活，做着平凡的事情，演绎着一幕幕平凡的戏剧。
擦亮我们的眼睛，仔细瞧一瞧，那一位是孙少平呢
3分钟英语演讲，关于环境污染的,求助高手
环境（Environment）Like all other living beings, humans have clearly changed their environment, but they have done so generally on a grander scale than have other species. Some of these changes-such as the destruction of the world's tropical rain forests to create grazing land for cattle or the drying up of almost three-quarters of the Aral Sea, once the world's fourth-largest freshwater lake, for irrigation purposes-have led to altered climate patterns, which in turn have changed the distribution of species of animals and plants.Scientists are working to understand the long-term consequences that human actions have on ecosystems, while environmentalists-professionals in various fields, as well as concerned citizens in the United States and other countries-are struggling to lessen the impact of human activity on the natural world.Population Growth（人口增长）Human population growth may be seen to be at the root of virtually all of the world's environmental problems. Increasingly large numbers of people are being added to the world every year. As the number of people increases, more pollution is generated, more habitats are destroyed, and more natural resources are used up. Even if new technological advances were able to cut in half the environmental impact that each person had, as soon as the world's population size doubled, the earth would be no better off than before.The Population Division of the United Nations predicts that the 5.63 billion humans alive in 1994 will increase to 6.23 billion in the year 2000, 8.47 billion in 2025, and 10.02 billion in 2050. The UN's estimate assumes that population will peak and stabilize at 11.6 billion in 2200.Although it is true that rates of population increase are now much slower in the developed world than in the developing world, it would be a mistake to assume that the population growth problem is primarily a problem of developing countries. In fact, because larger amounts of resources per person are used in the developed nations, each citizen from the developed world has a much greater environmental impact than does a citizen from a developing country.Evidence now exists suggesting that the most important factors necessary to lower population growth rates in the developing world are democracy and social justice. Studies show that population growth rates have fallen in areas where several social conditions have been met. In these areas, literacy rates have increased, and women are given economic status equal to that of men and thus are able to hold jobs and own property; also, birth control information is more widely available, and women are free to make their own reproductive decisions.Global Warming（全球变暖）Like the glass panes in a greenhouse, certain gases in the earth's atmosphere permit the sun's radiation to heat the earth but retard the escape into space of the infrared energy radiated back out by the earth. This process is referred to as the greenhouse effect. These gases, primarily carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor, insulate the earth's surface, helping to maintain warm temperatures. If the concentration of these gases were higher, more heat would be trapped within the atmosphere, and worldwide temperatures would rise.Within the last century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically, largely because of the practice of burning fossil fuels-coal and petroleum and its derivatives. Atmospheric scientists have now concluded that at least half of that increase can be attributed to human activity, and they have predicted that unless dramatic action is taken, temperature will continue to rise by between 1° and 3.5° C over the next century. The consequences of such a modest increase in temperature may well be devastating. Sea levels will rise, completely inundating a number of low-lying island nations and flooding many coastal cities such as New York and Miami. Many plant and animal species will probably be driven into extinction, agricultural regions will be disrupted, and the frequency of severe hurricanes and droughts is likely to increase.Depletion of the ozone layer（臭氧层变薄）The ozone layer, a thin band in the stratosphere （a layer in the upper atmosphere）, serves to shield the earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. In the 1970s, scientists discovered that the layer was being attacked by chlorofluorocarbons （CFCs）, chemicals used in refrigeration, air-conditioning systems, cleaning solvents, and aerosol sprays.The consequences of the depletion of the ozone layer are dramatic. Increased ultraviolet radiation will lead to a growing number of skin cancers and cataracts and also reduce the ability of people's immune systems to respond to infection. Additionally, the growth rates of the world's oceanic plankton, the base of most marine food chains, will be negatively affected, perhaps leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and thus to global warming.Predicting the rate of ozone depletion is difficult. Optimists claim that if international agreements for the phasing out of ozone-depleting chemicals agreed to in Montréal in 1987 are followed, ozone loss will peak in the year 2000. With many of the world's fastest growing countries in the process of industrializing and modernizing, there is reason to believe that destruction will continue to increase well beyond that year.Air pollution（空气污染）A significant portion of industry and transportation is based on the burning of fossil fuels, such as gasoline. As these fuels are burned, chemicals and particulate matter are released into the atmosphere. These chemicals interact with one another and with ultraviolet radiation in sunlight in various dangerous ways. Smog, usually found in urban areas with large numbers of automobiles, can cause serious health problems. Acid rain is a serious global problem because few species are capable of surviving in the face of such acidic conditions. Acid rain has made numerous lakes so acidic that they no longer support fish populations. Acid rain is also thought to be responsible for the decline of many forest ecosystems worldwide.Water pollution（水污染）Estimates suggest that nearly 1.5 billion people lack safe drinking water and that at least 5 million deaths per year can be attributed to waterborne diseases. Water pollution may come from point or nonpoint sources. Point sources discharge pollutants at specific locations-from, for example, factories, sewage treatment plants, or oil tankers. The technology exists for point sources of pollution to be monitored and regulated, although political factors may complicate matters. Nonpoint sources-runoff water containing pesticides and fertilizers from acres of agricultural land, for example-are much more difficult to control. Pollution arising from nonpoint sources accounts for a majority of the contaminants in streams and lakes.With almost 80 percent of the planet covered by oceans, people have long acted as if those bodies of water could serve as a limitless dumping ground for wastes. Raw sewage, garbage, and oil spills have begun to overwhelm the diluting capabilities of the oceans, and most coastal waters are now polluted. Beaches around the world are closed regularly, often because of high amounts of bacteria from sewage disposal, and marine wildlife is beginning to suffer.Groundwater pollution（地下水污染）Water that seeps through porous rocks and is stored beneath the ground is called groundwater. Although groundwater is a renewable resource, reserves are replenished relatively slowly. When groundwater is depleted in coastal regions, oceanic salt water commonly intrudes into freshwater supplies. Saltwater intrusion is threatening the drinking water of many areas along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.The EPA has estimated that, on average, 25 percent of usable groundwater is contaminated, although in some areas as much as 75 percent is contaminated. Contamination arises from leaking underground storage tanks, poorly designed industrial waste ponds, and seepage from the deep-well injection of hazardous wastes into underground geologic formations. Because groundwater is recharged and flows so slowly, once polluted it will remain contaminated for extended periods.Habitat Destruction and Species Extinction（居住环境破坏与物种灭绝）It is difficult to estimate the rate at which humans are driving species extinct because scientists believe that only a small percentage of the earth's species have been described. What is clear is that species are dying out at an unprecedented rate; minimum estimates are at least 4000 species per year, although some scientists believe the number may be as high as 50,000 per year. The leading cause of extinction is habitat destruction, particularly of the world's richest ecosystems-tropical rain forests and coral reefs. At the current rate at which the world's rain forests are being cut down, they may completely disappear by the year 2030. If growing population size puts even more pressure on these habitats, they might well be destroyed sooner.This loss is critical from several perspectives. The economic value of species lost and of natural products and drugs that never will be discovered or produced is incalculable. Similarly, it is impossible to place either a moral or an aesthetic value on our growing list of extinct species. As habitats are destroyed and species lost, the world is increasingly losing threads from the interconnected fabric of life.Chemical Risks（化学成分污染）Pesticide residues on crops and mercury in fish are examples of toxic substances that may be encountered in daily life. Many industrially produced chemicals may cause cancer, birth defects, genetic mutations, or death. Although a growing list of chemicals has been found to pose serious health risks to humans, the vast majority of substances have never been fully tested.Environmental Racism（环境歧视）Studies have shown that not all individuals are equally exposed to pollution. Three of the five largest commercial hazardous waste landfills in America are in predominantly black or Hispanic neighborhoods, and three out of every five black and Hispanic Americans live in the vicinity of an uncontrolled toxic waste site. The fact that the wealth of a community is not nearly as good a predictor of hazardous-waste locations as is the ethnic background of the residents reinforces the conclusion that racism is involved in the selection of sites for hazardous-waste disposal.Environmental racism takes international forms as well. Dangerous chemicals banned in the United States often continue to be produced and shipped to developing countries. Additionally, the developed world has shipped large amounts of toxic waste to developing countries for less-than-safe disposal.Energy Production（能源问题）The world cannot continue to rely on the burning of fossil fuels for much of its industrial production and transportation. Fossil fuels are in limited supply; in addition, when burned they contribute to global warming, air pollution, and acid rain.Nuclear energy as an alternative is opposed by many because of the massive devastation an accident can cause. The accident at the Chernobyl' nuclear power plant in 1986 scattered radioactive contamination over a large part of Europe. Approximately 135,000 people were evacuated, and human health has been dramatically affected. The World Health Organization released a report in late 1995 attributing the explosive increase in childhood thyroid cancer in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia directly to the accident.One reasonable solution is to combine conservation strategies with the increased use of solar energy. The price of solar energy relative to traditional fuels has been dropping steadily, and if environmental concerns were factored into the cost, solar power would already be significantly cheaper. Although it is desirable to have a wider range of energy options, other alternative sources of power （such as wind, geothermal, or hydroelectric） are not likely to provide large-scale solutions in the forseeable future.ConclusionGlobal environmental collapse is not inevitable. But the developed world must work with the developing world to ensure that new industrialized economies do not add to the world's environmental problems. Politicians must think of sustainable development rather than economic expansion. 帮你找了一些资料，仅供参考。

With the development of science and technology,people's lives have been greatly changed.There is no doubt that we benefit a lot from the scientific advancements in many different ways.For instance,the invention of computers dramatically increases work efficiency and helps complete many difficult tasks that were impossible in the past.Apart from this,new discoveries and technology in medicine improve people's health,which allows them to enjoy a longer life.The progress of science also enlarges human's ablilities to explore the world around them,from up into space to deep under the sea.Thanks to the development of science and technology,human society has enjoyed continuous prosperity and more convenience.However,just like a double-edged sword,science can cause problems too.It is known to all that the nuclear power,an environmentally friendly source of energy,can also be developed into a weapon of mass destruction.In addition,human cloning,which is expected to cure many serious diseases and save lives,may bring disasters of social morality.As a matter of fact,most of the improvements in science are made at the cost of our precious natural resources and have done great harm to the environment where we live in.Therefore,how to deal with the progress of science and technology properly is worth our careful consideration.
