THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d    1     the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h    2     these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e    3    , that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R    4    , that among these are life, L    5    , and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g     6     are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P     7     to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l    8     its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f    9    , as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d     10    , to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Fortunately, there are detailed instructions for students to follow step by step, from enrollment (登记注册) to the academic program.

Each semester, the school holds an orientation (培训) for transfer students. We thought that would be the p     3     time for us to learn more about the school. The a     4     we take part in included getting to know your campus, finding your classrooms and learning how to read the bulletin board.

I had thought it might be difficult, but actually I had no problem after the first week. Each day, students a     7       seven classes. They have five minutes to get from one class to another. Because the hallways are so packed, they often push one another o     8     of their way to make it in time.

At first I k     9     avoiding attention, but I realized that I’d been anxious for no reason. High school was anything b     10     a horrible place. Now I am finding my way despite the language barrier and looking forward to a great school year.

Children have their own rules in playing games. They s    1     need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that d    2     a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel p    3     at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give o    4    , to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they can i    5     a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
