17．Queen Elizabeth IⅡhas led Great Britain through many tough times throughout her68-year sovereignty（在位）But never，during her reign（统治），has an issue disrupted the British public as much as the current pandemic of coronavirus.
By April 6，the UK had had 47，806 confirmed cases.Among them，crucially，is British Prime Minister Boris Johnson，who has recently been hospitalized.With the country entering its peak infection period，the Queen made only her fifth televised address to the nation，aside from her annual Christmas broadcast，on April 5.The four other times she has made such an address have been to mark the Gulf War，the death of Princess Diana of Wales，the death of her mother and her Diamond Jubilee（登基六十周年纪念）.
According to Jonny Dymond，the BBC's royal correspondent（通讯记者）， "The Palace could have played it safe，stressed unity and given thanks.But this[speech]was…designed to reassure（重拾信心） and inspire. "
In her pre-recorded statement，the Queen focused on the dedication（奉献）of her subjects. "We have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others，be it through delivering food parcels and medicines，checking on neighbors，or converting（转变）businesses to help the relief effort. "
As well as thanking front line workers，she pushed a message of comfort and motivation. "Together，we are tackling this disease，and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute，then we will overcome it. "
"We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure，better days will return：we will be with our friends again；we will be with our families again；we will meet again. "
Following the speech，people throughout the country voiced their admiration for her moving words.London Mayor Sadiq Khan praised the Queen's focus on front line health-care workers，and councilor（议员） Oliver Cooper wrote， "Nobody could have rallied（振作）the country，the Commonwealth，and the world the way the Queen did. "
Some internet users even shared how they cried after the speech，while others wrote the words of the national anthem（国歌），God Save the Queen.

18．My husband came across the program from my father-in-law's high school graduation，90 years ago.It was the Class of1928 and their class motto（格言）was "Build for character，not for fame. "
I'm pretty sure society has done a full reverse on that one.
These days，we have people who are famous for simply being famous.They haven't done anything particularly impressive，but they do take great selfies.
We are all obsessed with fame these days，mainly thanks to social media.All we want is for people to follow us，friend us，like us，or share our posts.We are nearly desperate for fame.
"Build for character，not for fame，is based on the assumption that one is looking up and ahead.That's an encouraging idea，especially today，when most of us have our heads down，looking at the screens of our smartphones.Looking ahead and building for character takes thought and intentionality（意向性）.
One can be intentional in building for fame as well，but fame often relies heavily on the right timing and connections，as well as the creation of a base of fans and supporters.
Character isn't subject to the ideas of others.Character is built with self-discipline（自律），and a willingness to learn from difficulties.Character grows internally（内在地）and needs no applause.
Fame depends on people looking at you，while character is who you are when no one is looking.
Fame often comes with jealousy（嫉妒）a feeling that time is running out or that someone better than you is coming to steal your fans.
Character is marked by feeling content and being generous.There is satisfaction that comes with the reward of achievements，but at the same time，good character willingly holds the door open for others who are also hoping to achieve.
This commencement（毕业典礼）season，speakers will tell new graduates to get out there and build a better world.
The best way to build a better world is to build character，the kind that runs deep and can carry you through life's storms.
Build character with courage，justice（正）and strength.Build character by respecting yourself and respecting others.Build character with kindness，hope and love.Build for character and you will build a better world.
