To the Tunxis Community College Class of 2002, I offer my congratulations.
First, I’d like to quote Winston Churchill: "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
Now, advising young people to wear sunscreen is really kind of dumb, for the obvious reason: if you wear sunscreen, you’re never going to get a really fabulous tan. But the general theme—practical advice—is important. So here we go:
Living at home: the longer you stay with your parents, the greater the chance you will become your parents.
Credit cards: Here’s how credit cards work: when you want something, you charge it. Then, when you get the bill, you pay it with another credit card, and so on. Believe me, with the number of credit card offers you will be getting in the mail, you can live the lifestyle of a Kennedy on US$300 a week.
Turning to relationships:
To women: Understand that men have the ability to watch sports on ,television while sleeping. Understand that men are never going to do as much as you do around the house. And this is not something that is going to keep them up at night.
To men: Understand that it is never, ever a good idea to buy a woman an appliance as an anniversary present. Understand there is no correct answer to question: how fat does this make me look?
As for professional advice:
The Right Job: If you have a job that you really like, it will not pay any money. If you have a job that you really hate, it Will pay a lot of money. So the key is this: find a job that you really like that pays a lot of money. And if you find such a job, ask if they need anybody else.
Bosses: The boss is the boss for a reason. The problem is no one can figure out what that reason is. So it can be difficult trying to decide how to deal with him or her. Essentially, you have two options: make a good impression or make no impression. Making a good impression involves work. Making no impression involves getting your vacation request in early.
In closing, I’d like to quote two individuals whose words, I think, provide insight and wisdom.
The first is feminist writer Gloria Steinem, who said this at a commencement address at Tufts University: "From now on, time will pass without artificial academic measure. It will go by like the wind. Whatever you want to do, do it now; for life is time, and time is all there is." The second quote is from one of my personal heroes, a character on the old Mary Tyler Moore show named Chuckles the Clown. Chuckles had a simple yet profound philosophy of life, which he captured in a three-line verse:
A little song,
A little dance,
A little seltzer down your pants.
Thank you.
In the following speech, the speaker primarily intends to______.
选项
A、offer congratulations to freshmen
B、give advice to women and men
C、give advice to graduates
D、provide insight and wisdom
答案
C
解析
文章开篇即说对某社区大学2002级学生表示祝贺,显然听众为大学生,因此可排除B和D。演讲者首先援引丘吉尔的话,第一句就是“这不是结束”,可推知演讲是针对毕业生的,从而又可排除A。接下来演讲从家庭生活、信用卡、工作等方面展开,显然这都是学生毕业后步人社会、独立生活所必须面临的问题。因此可确信该演讲的听众是毕业生。
