第一篇：王岐山訪美演講：從歷史看 誰封閉誰就落后

“XX年3月，密蘇里州的議員在北京見我時，都一致反對美國國會里保護主義思潮下出現(xiàn)的涉華貿(mào)易議案。為了與保爾森的會談有良好氛圍，我選擇中部的密蘇里州作為訪美的第一站。我都非常奇怪，美國開放的地區(qū)怎么變成中部了？美國最開放的地方應該是東海岸和西海岸呀！”6月18日晚，在華盛頓演講的國務院副總理王岐山幽默地談及美國的保護主義。

王岐山稱布什非常率直為性情中人

王岐山的演講不僅贏得了臺下美國政商界人士陣陣掌聲，而且也讓他們不知不覺在笑聲當中反思美國國內(nèi)蔓延的保護主義思潮。

“開放的地方怎么竟是中部了”

在前往馬里蘭州安納波利斯海軍學院主持第四次中美戰(zhàn)略經(jīng)濟對話之前，王岐山副總理訪美第一站選在了中部地區(qū)的密蘇里州。

在解釋背后原因時，王岐山透露，來美前，很多朋友都警告他要小心：美國的大門要關(guān)了，美國現(xiàn)在盛行保護主義，與保爾森的對話氛圍可能有問題。為了營造開放氣氛，他決定選擇密蘇里。讓他沒想到的是，密蘇里果然是開放的。當?shù)匾笾袊窈降侥抢锔阖涍\樞紐，希望中國在那兒建立商務中心。這徹底顛覆了他心中美國東部、西部最為開放，中部地區(qū)較為保守的印象。

“最開放的應該是東海岸和西海岸呀，竟然變成中部了？”王岐山的反問實際上巧妙地提醒掌管美國命運的東西部政商精英們快速思考一下他們的各項決策是否受到了太多保護主義思潮的影響。

“從歷史看，誰封閉，誰就落后”

學歷史出身的王岐山在演講中不忘談歷史。他指出，“歷史上的美國是貿(mào)易立國。歷史上的美國是最能容納世界各國移民的樂土”?？吹绞ヂ芬姿沟拇蠊伴T這個美國東部向西部開放的起始點，他認為，美國應是一個有門框、但沒有緊閉大門的國家。

王岐山還向臺下的美國聽眾講述了歷史上中國國運興衰與開放、封閉的因果關(guān)系，講述了鄧**推行改革開放30年來中國發(fā)展的種種艱難歷程。

“從歷史長河看，誰封閉，誰就落后。中國曾先進過，先進以后就保護主義了，而這一保護就是一千多年。這個門被徹底關(guān)上了，最后被英國大炮打開后，才發(fā)現(xiàn)落后了……目前，中國正處在一個快速變化的階段。這是因為中國人反思了自己的封閉。中國人在這30年里不斷找出自己的問題，然后去改革”。

在美國貿(mào)易保護主義不斷蔓延的環(huán)境下，王岐山縱論中國自身的開放，讓臺下的美國聽眾感受良多。當晚活動主持人、美中關(guān)系全國委員會主席希爾斯女士贊嘆道，王岐山有關(guān)美國保護主義的評論讓人感到欽佩。

會后，一位美國朋友向本報記者表示，王岐山的講話向美方傳遞了非常強烈的開放信號。這將促使美方不得不思考自己在這方面的問題。

特殊的奧運情結(jié)紅色的奧運領(lǐng)帶

在華盛頓演講的當晚，王岐山副總理打了一個紅色的奧運領(lǐng)帶。

王岐山說，再過50多天，北京奧運會就要開幕了?！拔覍@場奧運會有一個特殊的情結(jié)。因為XX年是我在雅典奧運會閉幕式上把那面旗幟接過來的――我那時是北京市長?！?/p>

王岐山說，他選擇紅色的奧運領(lǐng)帶，是希望中國人民和關(guān)心中國四川地震的美國朋友能振作起來，迎接今夏在北京舉行的奧運會。

王岐山還透露說，“幾天前，美國商務部長古鐵雷斯稱贊我打的領(lǐng)帶有品位。我馬上告訴他，是我的夫人幫我選的。我說，我回去告訴夫人，夫人一定會非常得意。這幾天，我將把夫人挑選的領(lǐng)帶一條一條地展現(xiàn)出來?！蓖踽阶匀涣髀冻龅呐c妻子間的恩愛，不禁讓臺下的美國朋友們?yōu)橹恼平泻谩?/p>

評價布什：非常率直性情中人

第四次中美戰(zhàn)略經(jīng)濟對話結(jié)束后，美國總統(tǒng)布什18日下午在白宮會見了中方代表團的所有成員。

王岐山透露說，在與中方每位成員握手合影后，布什還在其橢圓型辦公室與王岐山舉行了30分鐘的小范圍會晤。布什高度評價了此次戰(zhàn)略經(jīng)濟對話。王岐山表示，他沒想到一個任期將滿的總統(tǒng)對中美關(guān)系的未來發(fā)展表現(xiàn)出了強烈的責任感。王岐山同時感到，布什非常率直，是一個性情中人。

在談到19日即將與美國參眾兩院的國會議員的3場會晤時，王岐山表示，“我希望能與美國國會議員直接接觸。我將會很安靜地聽他們對中國的看法，對美中關(guān)系的認識。同時，我也會竭盡所能談我的看法……總之，對話比對抗好”。

第二篇：是誰成就了美狄亞——從《美狄亞》看女性意識的覺醒

是誰成就了美狄亞

——從《美狄亞》看女性意識的覺醒

班級：08級1班學號：080101062姓名：蹇 波

《美狄亞》是埃斯庫羅斯的主要悲劇著作之一，它反映了當時社會的種種現(xiàn)象。美狄亞的遭遇是當日婦女的共同命運，婦女深受壓迫,被禁閉在家中,不得參加公共活動,而男子則可以有外室,在外面胡鬧,不受法律和道德的約束。歐里庇得斯接受了智者派的進步思想,對宗教信仰抱懷疑態(tài)度，他攻擊預言者,責備天神邪惡，殘忍,制造人間的災難。不僅《美狄亞》是如此，他的《伊翁》《阿爾克提斯》也表現(xiàn)了這一點，對婦女境遇的同情。而《美狄亞》不同于《伊翁》《阿爾克提斯》的是，美狄亞做出了一系列反抗命運的行為，最后獲得成功。

美狄亞是個異國女子,她集美麗與智慧與一身，卻背叛自己的家庭,幫助伊阿宋取得金羊毛,同他一起前往希臘的伊奧爾科斯，在那里為伊阿宋報了殺父之仇,伊阿宋未能恢復王權(quán),又帶著妻子和兩個兒子流亡到科林斯。而伊阿宋卻要另娶科林斯國王的女兒,國王打算把美狄亞驅(qū)逐出境。美狄亞沒有繼續(xù)接受命運的安排，而是開始復仇。這對于當時的逆來順受的女子來說，是一個偉大的舉動。這是對男權(quán)社會的一個挑戰(zhàn)，也是這一時期女性意識覺醒的重要突破點。

在劇本的開場時，姆說：“我知道她的性子恨兇猛，她不會這樣馴服地受人虐待！”這里側(cè)面反映了，美狄亞不同于其他溫順的女子，而是一個烈性女子。

在第四場合唱隊，“如今那神圣的河水向上逆流，一切秩序和宇宙都顛倒了：男子漢的心多么奸詐，那當著天發(fā)出的盟誓也靠不住了！從今后詩人會使我們女人的生命有光彩，我們獲得這種光榮，救再也不會受人誹謗了！”可見在這之前，女人的生活，女人的地位受到約束。

而美狄亞用其行為證明了女性的美麗、智慧與勇敢，從而讓人們逐漸改變對女性的看法。

第三場，美狄亞敘說到：“在一切有理智、有靈性的生物當中，我們女人算是最不幸的。首先，我們得用重金爭購一個丈夫，他反會變成我們的主人；但是，如果不去購買丈夫，那又是更可悲的事。而最重要的后果還要看我們得到的，是一個好丈夫，還是一個壞家伙。因為離婚對于我們女人是不名譽的事，我們又不能把我們的丈夫轟出去?！边@可以看出當時社會里的女性多么不被重視，女性在社會里沒有自主權(quán)，丈夫可以明目張膽的另取新歡，女子卻不能要求離婚，因為這是“不名譽的事”。

并且男人可以選擇外出，女人卻只有安守家中，“一個男人同家里的人住得煩惱了，可以到外面去散散他的心里的郁積，不是找朋友，就是找玩耍的人；可是我們女人就只能靠著一個人。他們男人反說我們安處在家

中，全然沒有生命危險；他們卻要拿著長矛上陣：這說法真是荒謬。我寧愿提著盾牌打三次仗，也不愿生一次孩子?！睆倪@可以看出美狄亞的內(nèi)心世界，是不贊同這種社會約束的。美狄亞在開始時接受命運，接受社會安排，安于家中，相夫教子，而伊阿宋卻是背叛愛情，另尋新歡。這既是社會制度的不公，男女之間的不平等待遇，也表現(xiàn)出男權(quán)世界的弊端。而美狄亞的報復行為，既是對自己命運的突破，也是對這種不平等制度的控訴。

美狄亞偷走圣物金羊毛，殺害胞弟，離開祖國，表現(xiàn)出對于愛情的主動追求。她的這種不同于傳統(tǒng)男追女的做法，表現(xiàn)出她強烈的自我意識和獨立意識。

在劇中的一個重要情節(jié)是，美狄亞為了讓伊阿宋承受拋妻棄子的最大痛苦，殺害了他們的孩子。從心理學上講，美狄亞的這一行為是因為對于伊阿宋行為的憤怒和愛上伊阿宋這樣的人的羞恥感。傳統(tǒng)的女子在遭遇丈夫拋棄之后，往往會依靠子女，最終出人頭地。但她殺子的行為也反映出對傳統(tǒng)制度的徹底粉碎。在西方傳統(tǒng)中，遭棄女子往往請求神明庇佑和拯救自己，“詩人們會停止那自古以來有辱我們名節(jié)的歌聲！如果阿波羅，那詩歌之神，把琴弦上的神圣的詩才放進了我們的心里，那我們便會唱出一些詩歌，來回答男人的惡聲！時間會道出許多嚴厲的話，其中有一些是對我們女人的，有一些卻是對男人的?！倍赖襾唴s是向神明祈禱，請求神明懲罰伊阿宋?！鞍?，宙斯，切不要忘了那造孽的人！”

在決定殺子之前，美狄亞的內(nèi)心也掙扎了一番，“可是我又為我決心要做的一件可怕的事而痛苦悲傷，那就是我要殺害我自己的孩兒！”，可知美狄亞并沒有因為仇恨而失去理智，只是為了完成復仇，讓伊阿宋承受最大的痛苦，證明自己“不要有人認為我軟弱無能，溫良恭順；我恰好是另外一種女人：我對仇人很強暴，對朋友卻很溫和，要像我這樣的為人才算光榮?！币虼耍谧詈螅秊榱藦浹a對孩子的傷害，“我要把他們帶到那海角上的赫拉的廟地上，親手埋葬，免得我的仇人侮辱他們，發(fā)掘他們的墳墓。我還要規(guī)定日后在西緒福斯的土地上，舉行很隆重的祝典與祭禮，好贖我這兇殺的罪過。”

長期以來，自母系氏族社會以后，女子就被給予不公正的待遇。即便是世人所熟知的圣人們也是如此，孔子：“唯小人與女子難養(yǎng)也?！眮喞锸慷嗟掳雅丝闯墒俏闯赡甑暮⒆樱撬季S的低能兒。阿斯奇諾士主張女人的義務就是做自己老爺?shù)闹覍嵶吖?。尼采認為：“婦女一輩子都是不懂事的孩子?！北R梭認為：“女人的首要品德是順從?！痹谝恍┲闹髦校秳?chuàng)世紀》中把女人視為邪惡的毒蛇，夏娃因此要承受懷孕生子的苦難。在《新約》《舊約》里也是一樣，一直持續(xù)到羅馬帝國時代，女人無權(quán)決定自己的命運，順從男人才是她們的美德。

而歐里庇得斯受智者派進步思想的影響，他“按照人本來的樣子描寫”，反映了雅典當時的各種社會問題，出色的刻畫出人物的內(nèi)心世界。因此，也被稱為“舞臺上的哲學家”。他十分關(guān)心婦女的命運，現(xiàn)存悲劇中就有12部寫到婦女，其中阿伽門農(nóng)的女兒伊菲革涅亞，阿德墨托斯的妻子阿爾

克斯提斯，一是希臘盟軍統(tǒng)帥的女兒，一是斐賴城國王的王后，尚且是如此的悲劇：給女神獻祭或代替丈夫去死。更不要說其他的婦女了。因此他讓美狄亞在劇中第三場時說到，“在一切有靈性的生物中我們女人是最不幸的了?！闭且驗樗麑τ诋敃r社會現(xiàn)狀的不滿，對于女性不幸命運的同情，成就了一個新女性的傳奇復仇。

第三篇：[轉(zhuǎn)] 奧巴馬上海演講全文(英文)誰想過英語四級,誰就轉(zhuǎn),不然你后悔都

Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)

What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country.Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China.It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.However, America's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China.This is a common American impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one American player described his visit to China--“[The]people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different.”

Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979.And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I meet with President Hu.And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.For just as that American table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.I believe that each country must chart its own course.China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture.The United States, by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles--that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights;that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open, information freely accessible;and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.In many ways--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union.We fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery.It took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced.Even after they were freed, African Americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.None of this was easy.But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms.That is why Lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” could long endure.That is why Dr.Martin Luther King could stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.That's why immigrants from China to Kenya could find a home on our shores;why opportunity is available to all who would work for it;and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of America, is now able to serve as its President.And that is why America will always speak out for these core principles around the world.We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation.These freedoms of expression and worship--of access to information and political participation--we believe are universal rights.They should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities--whether they are in the United States, China, or any nation.Indeed, it is that respect for universal rights that guides America's openness to other countries;our respect for different cultures;our commitment to international law;and our faith in the future.These are all things that you should know about America.I also know that we have much to learn about China.Looking around at this magnificent city--and looking around this room--I do believe that our nations hold something important in common, and that is a belief in the future.Neither the United States nor China is content to rest on our achievements.For while China is an ancient nation, you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.In addition to your growing economy, we admire China's extraordinary commitment to science and research--a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.China is now the world's largest Internet user--which is why we were so pleased to include the Internet as a part of today's event.This country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change--and I'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the United States and China in this critical area tomorrow.But above all, I see China's future in you--young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected.The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek--all of these things are shared.And given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game;one country's success need not come at the expense of another.And that is why the United States insists we do not seek to contain China's rise.On the contrary, we welcome China as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations--a China that draws on the rights, strengths and creativity of individual Chinese like you.To return to the proverb--consider the past.We know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide.That is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations.And I believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government.It must be rooted in our people--in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play.And these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in America.That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in China to 100,000.And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century.And I'm absolutely confident that America has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people.For they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world.And if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, I hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.So thank you very much.And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.什么是閱讀空間?

第四篇：師生演講_知榮明恥 從小事做起與師生演講_誰不說俺家鄉(xiāng)好（xiexiebang推薦）

師生演講:知榮明恥 從小事做起

“八榮八恥”是最近xx爺爺為樹立社會主義榮辱觀而提出的要求。有的同學問：榮是什么，而辱又是什么?我覺得“榮”是一種能讓人抬著頭走路的情感;“辱”是一種讓人感到臉發(fā)燙，心跳加快的情感。

社會主義榮辱觀，這是一個嶄新的時代話題。有時我們覺得太難理解，但仔細想想，其實不然，因為已經(jīng)有革命先烈為我們做了榜樣，在社會主義的建設(shè)中，留下了一串不朽的名字：

從恥食周粟的伯夷叔齊，到無顏面對江東父老的項羽，從恥為亡國奴的文天祥，到拒絕美國救濟糧的朱自清……無數(shù)錚錚傲骨的人物，在中華歷史上演繹了大數(shù)可歌可泣的事跡。

周恩來，他一生服務人民，鞠躬盡瘁，死而后已。

錢學森，中國導彈之父，美國說他抵三個師，在新中國誕生后，毅然回到自己的祖國。

李四光，當外國專家定論中國沒有石油時，他自信地說：“科學證明中國有儲量豐富的石油?！?/p>

孔子，早在xx多年前就教育他的弟子要誠實。在學習中，知道的就說知道，不知道的就說不知道。他認為這才是誠實守信對待學習的正確態(tài)度。

雷鋒，一雙襪子補了又補，卻寄錢救濟戰(zhàn)友的家人。

……

這一批批中華民族的優(yōu)秀兒女，閃爍著一個個平凡而光輝的名字，每一個姓名都代表一段感人的故事。他們公而忘私，助人為樂，敬老 尚賢，無么奉獻，張揚著道德的大旗，聳立著一座座人格的豐碑。這些鮮明的事例告訴我們，不管是過去，還是將來，從身邊的小事做起，從我做起，做一個對社會負責，對祖國有貢獻的人。

記得有一次大掃除，拖地的同學正在努力地拖地，忽然，“啪”的一聲，拖把壞了。拖地的同學望著“斷了頭”的拖把不知該怎么辦，后來還是勞動委員把地上收拾了。原本壞一把拖把沒什么大不了的，可誰知 做起。我相信，未來的天空會很藍，水會很清，未來的中國會更加繁榮昌盛!師生演講:誰不說俺家鄉(xiāng)好

我小的時候，家鄉(xiāng)給我的印象是：貧窮、落后，街道狹窄高低不平。晴天是塵土飛揚，雨天是滿地泥濘。到了晚上更是漆黑和冷清。但僅僅過去了幾年時光，商丘變了，再也不是那個臟、亂、差的城市了。

如今的家鄉(xiāng)發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化。就拿我家附近的運河公園來說吧，我聽爸爸講，十幾年前，這里是一條污水橫流的臭水河，河沿上有許多垃圾，人們每次經(jīng)過這里都要捂著鼻子。小土路也坑坑洼洼的，遇到下雨天滿地泥濘，特別難走。那時運河兩岸沒有花草樹木，顯得光禿禿的，一片凄涼的景象。

xx年，商丘市委、市政府果斷做出了治理運河的決定，經(jīng)過幾年的努力，運河徹底變了樣：鮮花、綠草，垂柳、幽徑，小橋、游人，成了名副其實的河濱公園。到了夜晚，運河兩旁、樹木上面等不同層次、色彩絢麗的燈光一齊閃亮，運河成了市區(qū)一道五彩斑斕、璀璨奪目的靚麗風景線。在這里休閑、游玩，我們怎么不感到愜意、舒心呢?

城市交通更是四通八達，如神火大道、平原路、凱旋路、北海路寬闊筆直。一棟棟高樓大廈拔地而起，氣魄雄偉，一片片住宅小區(qū)綠樹成蔭，鳥語花香，在小區(qū)、在綠地、在路旁，各類健身器材隨處可見。孩子在此嬉戲玩耍，享受著童年的樂趣。

人們的生活水平在不斷提高，環(huán)保意識也在不斷增強。比如“古城是我家，衛(wèi)生靠大家”、“見到紙屑要撿起”、“創(chuàng)建?四城?，人人有責”，這些口號已成為人們的自覺行動。在市區(qū)里，道路整潔，花團錦簇;在廣場上，綠草如茵，清新自然，人們陶醉在其間。

家鄉(xiāng)的變化，真是三天三夜也說不完，它現(xiàn)在實在是太美了。相信在不久的將來，家鄉(xiāng)的明天會更加美好!
