46、the engagement ring and the wedding ring are differentC“Who questions much, shall learn much, and remember much”- Francis Bacon （1561-1626）It seems obvious now how we acquire knowledge and understandingTo start with, you need questionsThen, to find answers, you observe the world around you and study
47、 the factsAfter that you consider possible answers and test each to find the right onesAlthough today we are more accustomed to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for the Internet to spit the answer out for us, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the worlds problems
48、 with this type of analysis- luckily for usHowever, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the dayAt that time, people believed more in religion than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei, who p

53、 none of us can ever sit back and say “We know it all”We need to thank the great men of the past for the wisdom to know that we dont know it all and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questionsSo much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is due to people like B

The statement, “you can do anything you put your mind to,” leads us to believe that all you must do is imagine what youd like to accomplish, set your
69、mind to the task, and wait for successTo a certain degree this is trueFocused intention combined with action is a powerful forceBut the statement is misleading because it fails to mention the difficulty and necessity of focusing your mind on a special goalMost of us dont know what we wantWe think we
70、 do, but we really dontwe only know what we dont wantWe dont want a boring jobWe dont want to be poorWe dont want to disappoint our loved onesKnowing specially what you want is much different from knowing what you dont wantWhen you only know what you dont, your intentions arent focusedConsider this
71、examplePete doesnt want to be poorHes sick of earning less than his friends, and hes determined to raise his positionTo accomplish this goal, Pete could take many different pathsHe could train for a high paying professionHe could start his own company, go into real estate, or do many other things th

75、 one step closer to the final goalI think we can all agree that committing to a clearly defined path, regardless of which one, gives Pete the best chance of becoming wealthyBut how can he choose a path if he doesnt know what he wants? Maybe money isnt his only goalMaybe he wants to do something he l
76、oves at the same timeMaybe he cant afford to go back to schoolReality is complicated, and Pete doesnt want to commit too soonAnd thats why he failedYou can do anything you put your mind to.Petes storyIt is 71._ to combine your focused intention with your action.

For example the students leave the lights on in the daytime, water running after washing and remains of a lot of food after eat
83、ing on the table. Some of the students even ask their parents for pocket money. So it is high time that we had to deal with the problem. The reasons are as follows: In the first place, the bad habit of being wasteful will have a bad influence on their own character. Secondly, it adds financial burde

In my opinion, it is everybodys business to fight against waste. On one hand, I should start with myself to save everything. On the other hand, Id like to remind my friends here to take the lead in reducing the waste. Therefore, Im sure, with everyone doing his bit, we will change the present situation the better. Thats all. Thank you!
