when i was 27 years old, i left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job that was even more demanding: teaching. i went to teach seventh graders math in the new york city public schools. and like any teacher, i made quizzes and tests. i gave out homework assignments. when the work came back, i calculated grades.

what struck me was that i.q. was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric i.q. scores. some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well.

and that got me thinking. the kinds of things you need to learn in seventh grade math, sure, they're hard: ratios, decimals, the area of a parallelogram. but these concepts are not impossible, and i was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough.

after several more years of teaching, i came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a psychological perspective. in education, the one thing we know how to measure best is i.q., but what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily?

so i left the classroom, and i went to graduate school to become a psychologist. i started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? my research team and i went to west point military academy. we tried to predict which cadets would stay in military training and which would drop out. we went to the national spelling bee and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in competition. we studied rookie teachers working in really tough neighborhoods, asking which teachers are still going to be here in teaching by the end of the school year, and of those, who will be the most effective at improving learning outcomes for their students? we partnered with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs? and who's going to earn the most money? in all those very different contexts, one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. and it wasn't social intelligence. it wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't i.q. it was grit.

grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. grit is having stamina. grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.

a few years ago, i started studying grit in the chicago public schools. i asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires, and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate. turns out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate, even when i matched them on every characteristic i could measure, things like family income, standardized achievement test scores, even how safe kids felt when they were at school. so it's not just at west point or the national spelling bee that grit matters. it's also in school, especially for kids at risk for dropping out. to me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows, about building it. every day, parents and teachers ask me, "how do i build grit in kids? what do i do to teach kids a solid work ethic? how do i keep them motivated for the long run?" the honest answer is, i don't know. (laughter) what i do know is that talent doesn't make you gritty. our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitments. in fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated or even inversely related to measures of talent.

so far, the best idea i've heard about building grit in kids is something called "growth mindset." this is an idea developed at stanford university by carol dweck, and it is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort. dr. dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to challenge, they're much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.

so growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. but we need more. and that's where i'm going to end my remarks, because that's where we are. that's the work that stands before us. we need to take our best ideas, our strongest intuitions, and we need to test them. we need to measure whether we've been successful, and we have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.

in other words, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.

thank you.

珍稀动物的演讲稿篇3

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们，

大家下午好

我们都知道，在这个蔚蓝的星球上，除了我们人类，还有许许多多美丽神奇的物种。我们喜爱忠诚的狗，乖巧的猫，而当提到毒蛇猛虎时我们又唯恐避之不及。这是这些生灵，和我们人类一同构成了这个丰富多彩的世界。然而，我们又必须面对一个残酷的现实：随着人类可续技术的发展和自身生活的需要，绝大多数的野生动物数量在急剧减少。今天，我演讲的题目就是《保护野生动物》

我们都看过海豚表演，也听说过海豚救人的故事。海豚是一种既聪明又敏感的动物。可又有多少人知道，海洋馆中的海豚有许多都死于音乐、掌声等声音造成的压力过大?

日本是世界最大的捕鲸国。直至____年，世界鲸总量为7000多头，而日本一年的捕鲸量就高达3000头。海豚作为鲸鱼的近亲，也同样难逃厄运。在日本，每年平均有2.3万条海豚被围杀。

日本的太地町，表面上处处展示出对鲸类动物的喜爱。可实际上，这里也是日本猎杀海豚最集中的地区。每年秋天，当地渔民会把前来觅食的海豚用噪音赶到一处隐蔽的海湾。其中一些海豚会被各地海洋馆挑去训练，而剩下的只能等待死神的降临。在影片《海豚湾》中，屠杀海豚的一幕被真实地记录下来。一些海豚眼看着自己的亲人被杀害，而原本蓝绿色的海水也在瞬间被染成红色。影片的一位摄影师也曾看到一只身受重伤的海豚逃出包围，但因为失血过多只能在水中一沉一浮的挣扎着游着，直至完全浸入水中。

这些被捕杀的海豚，最终会贴着鲸鱼肉的标签，销往日本各地。

再来说说我们的国家。中国自古讲究“民以食为天”，被国人吃少吃没的动物同样不在少数。

鲨鱼是海洋之王，但他们的鳍同样是一道价格不菲的菜肴，美其名曰“鱼翅”。而为了鱼翅交易堪比毒品的巨大利润，人们开始大肆捕猎鲨鱼。一条鲨鱼成熟需要30年，而使它窒息只要短短3分钟。网住的鲨鱼被拖上岸，割掉鱼鳍，再扔回海里，整个过程连一分钟都不到。而被扔回海里的鲨鱼有很多甚至还活着，却因为无法游泳而在很短时间内死亡。每年有近亿条惨遭捕杀，鲨鱼的数量也在50年内下降了80%。

类似的`例子数不胜数。东北虎因为其骨和皮毛而在我国境内已经绝迹。近几年已无人看到集群数量超过____的藏羚羊群。在我们盘锦，也会看到很多野味馆，而食材则是湿地中的各种鸟类和辽河中的鱼。

栖息地被破坏和各种环境污染则是除捕猎外动物数量锐减的另一大原因。

朱鹮在我国古代被视为瑞鸟，但因为农药的污染，使得鸟类蛋壳变软，孵化率急速下降。上世纪70年代，我国最后找到的野生朱鹮数量只有7只。前两天有一则新闻。有微笑天使之称的江豚，在洞庭湖水域40天就死去了12头。这对该水域原本就不到百只的种群来说更是雪上加霜。现在整个长江流域的江豚不过1200条，而这个数字也在以每年6.4%的速度下降。

我今天的演讲，在坐的各位可能会觉得很枯燥。可事实上，请大家想一想，如果我们再也听不到夏日微风中的蝉鸣，如果我们再也看不见天空飞翔的雁群，如果昔日森林只剩下荒芜的土地和森森白骨，那么我们所生存的世界，将会变成怎样一个昏暗无声的悲哀世界。

我们并不一定要像动物保护主义者那样，倾尽财力心力，只专注于动物保护事业。对于一个人来说，一生能为一项必须的事业奋斗已然不易，更何况动物保护这条路非常难走。但我们也有我们能做到的，就像一则公益广告说的那样，“没有买卖就没有杀害”，拒绝购买野生动物制品，不要为了自己的口腹之欲或虚荣心而使动物们遭到灭顶之灾。尽管我们能做到的很少，但即使是节约小小的一张纸，也是对森林的保护，对动物栖息地的一点小小贡献。

人类是万物之灵，我们应当懂得与自然和平相处，与世界万物共生共息。让我们行动起来，从点点滴滴做起，让世间其他生灵能与我们共同分享这美丽的地球家园!

dear judges and friends,

the topic for my speech today is “festival.” i would like to talk about myfavorite festival, the mid-autumn festival.

in china we have several important festivals, such as the spring festival,the lantern festival, the dragon-boat festival and the mid-autumn festival.among them, i like mid-autumn festival best, especially because i live inxiamen.

in xiamen, when we celebrate the mid-autumn festival, we do not only followthe common practices such as having a big dinner party with our family, eatingmooncakes, and appreciating the full moon at night, we also have one uniquecustom which is only practiced in xiamen, that is “bo bing”.

“bo bing” is a very interesting game that almost all xiamen people playduring this festival. usually family members or close friends get togetheraround a table with a big round bowl in the middle and six dices in the bowl. wetake turns to throw the dices into the bowl. we will get different prizesaccroding to the different ways the dices show their upper sides. everyone islikely to become the champion or “zhuangyuan” for the year. there is an elementof luck and equal opportunity in this game. so people usually get excited whileplaying. also, the game gives very pleasant sounds. the tinkling made by thedices falling into the bowl is pleasant, people’s laughing, cheering andapplauding for the big prizes they’ve won is pleasant. all this adds greatly tothe joyful atmosphere of this festival. as a kid, of course i also like thematerial prizes i get from the game, such as a candy or a cake.

in this year’s mid-autumn festival, my family invited our foreign friendsto come to our home to celebrate the festival together. they have two childrenwho are younger than me. while our parents were making jiaozi together, we kidsplayed “bo bing”. we bought quite some gifts to share with our guests as theirprizes.they enjoyed the game and our get-together very much.

the literal translation of “bo bing” is “mooncake gambling.” but actuallyit is not gambling, at least our family never plays it that way. for us, it ismore an occasion of happy sharing and getting-together. this is why xiamen’smid-autumn festival has become my favorite festival in the year.

thank you very much!

many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. for example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. at the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.许多野生动物正面临绝种的危险，因为它们生活的环境发生了极大的变化。例如，随着城市的发展，杀虫剂的使用和严重的污染，他们的生活区域变得越来越狭小。许多野生动物，现在面临粮食危机。同时，人类正在屠杀野生动物只是为了获得它们的皮毛，皮肤，角，牙齿和肉。

in order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. there fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.

为了保护生态资源，人们应该意识到任何物种的缺失，至少意味着知识资源和自然美的缺失。因此，本应采取以下措施：制订污染标准以降低有毒物质;严禁杀害某些稀有物种;应建立国家公园作为野生动物，保护区。

only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.

我们只有采取一些有力措施，才能保护野生动物。

珍稀动物的演讲稿篇6

it have been discussed for a long time that how to deal with the uncivilized behaviors during the travel, such as write on the place of historic interests, or claim to old trees. this kind of things happened in china more often than any other countries. what can we do to prevent those actions? though we have advocate education of the tourists for years, the situation was not better than be imagined. in my opinion, we still have to encourage the education of our tourists, but with some change. for example, we shouldnot only disseminate don t do sth. , but also with the reason and an explanation that it is not cool to sign names or words everywhere, in the contrary, we have to ashamed of that. make a comparison between foreigners and us can also increase our consciousness.

它已经讨论了很长一段时间,如何处理在旅游不文明行为,如写在历史的地方利益,或声称老树。这种事情经常发生在中国比其他任何国家。我们可以做些什么来阻止这些行为呢?虽然我们多年来提倡教育游客,情况并不比被想象。在我看来,我们仍然需要鼓励的教育我们的游客,但有一些改变。例如,我们不应该只传播不做某事,但也和一个解释的原因是不酷签署名称或字无处不在,相反,我们必须感到羞愧。外国人之间做个比较,我们还可以增加我们的意识。

各位同学：

大家好!每个家庭中都会有一个伴随小朋友成长的忠诚伙伴。我家曾经有一只活泼可爱的小花狗，只可惜它不在了，永远离开了人类，离开了我。我一直想念着它，想它的活泼，想它的可爱，想它的调皮。

自从我刚刚生下来，这只小花狗就每天盯着我，贴着墙边偷偷来看我。小时候，我不记事，许多事情都是姥姥讲给我听的。渐渐地，我长大了，记事了，姥姥告诉我，那只小花狗叫“板凳”。因为它总是钻到板凳下面睡觉觉。

板凳伴随着我度过了是个春夏秋冬。每个季节都留下了它的很急，即使它已经不在了，可我依旧能找到它的气息。每个季节，它都会给我留下一个深刻的印象。

姥姥告诉我，板凳刚生下来的时候，毛是浅黄色的，一对眯起的小眼睛，一排还没长齐的乳牙。我6岁那年，上幼儿园回来，我看见一条小黑狗在欺负板凳，板凳生性善良，从不愿和别人打架。我忍无可忍了，怎么能让板凳任人欺凌呢?它是一只有主人的狗，它的主人有义务保护它。我冲了上去，把小黑狗吓跑了。我摸着板凳的额头，说：“别怕，别怕，有我呢。我不会再让别人欺负你了!”板凳开心的围着我转圈圈。就这样，我把板凳领回了屋里。

板凳虽然很调皮，但是调皮的可爱。它从不偷吃，姥姥把刚收拾好的鱼放在外面，准备一会炖。我趴在窗户上，观看者板凳头没偷吃。板凳看了看鱼，丝毫不动。它好像知道，主人的鱼，未经允许是不能动的。我见板凳如此听话，我打开门。从盆里拿出一个骨头，丢在院子里，示意让他啃。虽然狗听不懂人类的话，但它经常听，也明白了。

俗话说：“动物是人类的好朋友，它和人类之间是很有灵气的。”上了小学，我渐渐也长大了，但还是童心未泯。经常和板凳玩捉迷藏，板凳和我玩捉迷藏的时候，总是露出一个尾巴。我瞧瞧跑向前去，抓住了它。可抓错了，是个纯黄的鸡毛掸。我生气了，板凳摇摇尾巴，向我示好，希望我别生气、我看着它，忍不住“呵呵”直笑。

珍惜动物和你的点点滴滴。唉，我想珍惜也珍惜不到了。板凳已经离开了大家，我是多么想它!我在这里告诉大家，别让动物的真心，换来你的冷漠!

各位同学：

大家好!

大自然创造了许多美丽轻灵、富有生命的精灵，它们聪明伶俐，温和可爱。但是它们已经被一些残酷的人类杀死，做成美丽时髦的奢侈品，我看到这些，难道不会觉得心痛吗?

4头国家一级保护动物在枪声中瞬间毙命。这是3年前发生在阿克塞哈萨克族自治县境内哈尔腾草原的一起特________年1月3日，一阵阵零星的枪声划破了哈尔腾草原的宁静。阿克塞县林业局的兼职巡防人员发现有陌生车辆非法潜入并有捕杀野生动物的嫌疑，便立即通过卫星电话向阿克塞县林业局报告。次日下午4时许，阿克塞县公安局与森林公安民警一道赶赴出入哈尔腾草原的各个要道盘查。经过4个多小时的围追堵截，于当晚9时截获一辆越野车，控制了4名嫌疑人，并发现了被肢解的野牦牛肢体和大量刀、斧、半自动步枪、子弹等作案工具。随后，警方顺藤摸瓜，经过5天5夜的侦查破获了这起特大非法猎捕、杀害珍贵濒危野生动物案。大非法杀害珍贵濒危野生动物案件。我为这些人感到耻辱，难道人和动物不可以好好在一起生活吗!?

________年2月9日晚上，施永全与朱云超在崇明东滩鸟类自然保护区内“小北港”浅滩处，将事先准备好的农药“克百威”撒在浅滩滩涂上，共毒杀国家二级保护动物小天鹅1只，野鸭20只。次日中午，二人联系黑车司机顾永仁进行送货，由顾永仁将毒杀的小天鹅和野鸭送到收购人朱耀香处。当天下午，顾永仁驾车送货途经陈家镇瀛陈公路、瀛东村路口时被公安机关抓获。据查，________年1月至2月间，施永全、朱云超2人用上述方法，先后4次在东滩鸟类自然保护区共毒杀国家二级保护动物小天鹅2只;绿头鸭16只、斑嘴鸭26只。这些人太可耻了，竟然外了自己的利益去杀害这些无辜的小动物，太可耻了!

朋友们，让我们一起来保护这些可爱的动物朋友吧!
