21、 Kids don’t have a voice. They have no way to share their ideas. TEDx Youth is a locally organized event, where live talks and recorded videos are shared with the community (社区). TEDx Youth is always held on Children’s Day every year. It brings together big ideas from, and for kids. More importantly, it encourages kids to share their ideas with the world.
“Age is but a number. You’re not too young to change the world. Planning an event alongside young people makes you realize that kids have ideas that an adult might usually not think of,” said one TEDx Youth speaker. Another speaker said, “What I have come to realize is that no matter where you live or how old you are, everyone is eager to be someone great.”
Organizing a TEDx Youth event shows that kids are able to do much more than what’s expected. They truly take this event and make it even more than what everyone hopes it will be. “The fact that youth, just like me, had planned and run the event shocked me most,” said one volunteer. “I thought the event was surprising. I couldn’t believe that kids of my age made the event happen.”
There are several ways to take part in TEDx Youth. The easiest way is to become a speaker, if you think your idea is worth spreading. Another way is to attend an event. And lastly, you can become a TEDx Youth Reporter. Reporters take pictures from the event and post them on line, and send news about what is happening at the event, interview some of the speakers, and write articles about the event. “It was wonderful to see how youth team members were with the whole event and how thankful they were (and still are!) to be given such an unbelievable chance as being part of a TEDx event.” said an organizer.
TEDx Youth is welcoming kids from every culture who want to have a deeper understanding of the world. Those who get involved with it believe in the power of ideas, which can change attitudes, lives and the world.
【1】What is the main purpose of holding a TEDx Youth event?
A.To give kids a chance to record videos.

24、TO: ALL STUDENTS
FROM : John Keating
SUBJECT : Academic Honesty Policy
As we start a new semester at City College, I would like to remind everyone of our commitment to academic honesty.
Today, all students received a copy of our Academic Honesty Policy. I know everyone’s mailbox can get very full at this time of year. However, this document is very important. It explains the rules that we expect all members of our academic community to follow. You are responsible for reading and understanding these rules. If you have any questions about the policy, please make an appointment to speak with your academic advisor.
What is academic dishonesty?
Often students can be unsure what we mean by academic dishonesty. The Academic Honesty Policy explains the types of behavior that are not allowed. Here are two examples of academic dishonesty:
Cheating is breaking a rule to get a higher grade. Some examples of cheating include:
• Copying a classmate’s answers during an exam.
• Looking at notes during an exam.
• Submitting homework that you borrowed from another student.
• Taking an exam for another student.
Plagiarism is submitting the words or ideas of other people as your own work. Some examples of plagiarism include:
• Copying text from the Internet and submitting it as your own work.
• Copying text from a book, changing some of the words, and submitting it as your own work.
• Using another person’s ideas and not giving that person credit.
What happens if you are found guilty of academic dishonesty?
If you are accused of academic dishonesty, the Student Honor Office will investigate your case. If you are found guilty of breaking the rules, the college will take disciplinary action. In serious cases, students can receive a failing grade. They may also be asked to leave school for good. For less serious cases, students could have to revise their work and receive a lower grade.
Academic work can be difficult. At times, you may be tempted to use dishonesty to make the work easier. As you gather the knowledge and skills that will prepare you for your future career, remember this: It is our values that will help us achieve these goals. With every action, always remember to be honest, responsible and fair.
Good luck with the new semester.
John Keating
President
