【聽寫背景】
據(jù)2006年正式發(fā)布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示,Michael Jackson一生共為世界慈善事業(yè)捐款三億美元。
Michael Jackson于1992年成立了“拯救世界”(“治愈世界”)基金會。
“拯救世界”基金會已經為20個國家的許多兒童提供了支持和援助。在這個星球上,只有他,才譜寫出了這么多的慈善歌曲;只有他,才會每去一個地方就堅持去醫(yī)院、孤兒院探望;只有他,才肯把大筆大筆的錢(共約三億美金)捐給了慈善機構;只有他,才能夠不顧流言誹謗,為兒童和環(huán)境事業(yè)孜孜不倦、堅持不懈;只有他——Michael Jackson。
2001年,Michael Jackson在牛津大學演講,以拯救兒童為主題。
【聽寫方式】填寫已給出的英文段落中的數(shù)字部分句子,每句另起一行
But it all begins with forgiveness, because to heal the world, we first have to heal ourselves. And to heal the kids, we first have to heal the child within, each and every one of us. ____1____ And that's what I'm asking all of us to do tonight. Live up to the fifth of the Ten Commandments. Honor your parents by not judging them. Give them the benefit of the doubt.
That is why I want to forgive my father and to stop judging him. I want to forgive my father, because I want a father, and this is the only one that I've got. ____2____

As an adult, and as a parent, I realize that I cannot be a whole human being, nor a parent capable of unconditional love, until I put to rest the ghosts of my own childhood.
I want the weight of my past lifted from my shoulders and I want to be free to step into a new relationship with my father, for the rest of my life, unhindered by the goblins of the past.
但是這一切都從寬恕開始,因為要拯救世界我們必須首先拯救自己。而要拯救孩子,我們首先要保護孩子的內心,人人有責,作為一個成年人,我意識到我不能作為一個完整的人存在,或者作為有能力無條件給予愛的父母,直到我童年的靈魂找到依靠。這也是今晚我讓大家做的事情。無愧于十大戒律第五條。敬愛你們的父母而不是褒貶他們,這就是為什么我要寬恕我的父親并且不再評論他,因為我只想要一個“父親”,這也是我唯一得到的。我想卸掉一切包袱和我父親和好,來度過我的余生,不受過去陰影的妨礙。
