24、   Good evening everyone,

When the AFI(American Film Institute) asked me to speak tonight, I said of course. But as George knows, I’ve actually being quite nervous about it. I do so out of immense pride in all that he has achieved. I knew there would be lots of people who could speak to George’s talent. So I thought I should say a few words about his character in real life and why he deserves to be admired.

First he is a gentleman. He is a gentleman in every sense of the word and in a way that seems so uncommonness these days and perhaps even outdated. Everyone who knows him will tell you that he has not forgotten his Kentucky manners that developed in his childhood. Once someone told me when filming “confessions” in Montreal(蒙特利尔), George refused to wear a warm winter jacket unless everyone got the same one even though it was 40 degrees below zero.

Second, George is brave enough to expose corruption in Sudan(苏丹), being the first one to be against the War in Iraq(伊拉克). Recently he worked for gun control movement as soon as The Parkland School Shooting happened in America.

Although George modestly says much of the success we are celebrating here tonight comes from good luck, I think it’s his great talent and character that got him here which also make him an amazing husband and father. Our house will always being filled with warmth and laughter so long as George stays at home.

I’m so proud of you, my love. Congratulations on this great honor that you’re receiving tonight. I’m proud of you but I also know that when our children find out not only what you have done but who you are, they will be so proud of you too.

D.He was against the War in Iraq.

25、任务型阅读（每空一词）

Mistakes are great teachers

Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.

Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it’s usually very easy to find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful ? Of course not.

Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need to cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.

When you make a mistake, what you shouldn’t do is run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.

When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Remember the reason for it, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.

26、"Make-A-Wish” is one of the world's most well-known charities(慈善机构) . It makes wishes come true for children who have serious illnesses. It gives them hope and joy and helps them forget about their health problems and have fun.

I wish to meet. Children sometimes want to meet their favourite actors, singers or players.

I wish to be. Some children wish to become actors, singers or police officers.
