【导读】当一些核心技术被其他国家“卡脖子”时，你是否曾为它焦虑？当“天问一号”奔向火星之时，你是否曾畅想和它一起九天翱翔？来自西安高新一中的七名高三同学，将自己的这些感受凝聚到了一份中学生“提案”之中。本周，这份“提案”将由住陕全国政协委员、中国拍卖行业协会副会长祁志峰带到全国两会上。

In October 2019, when Xu Jiamiao, 17, a student at Xi’an Gaoxin No 1 High School, Shaan’xi province, learned about the Xi’an Global Key & Core Technology Conference, she was shocked by advanced achievements that Chinese scientists had made.
2019年10月，陕西西安高新第一中学的17岁学生徐嘉苗了解了西安全球硬科技创新大会相关内容后，便被中国科学家们取得的先进成就所震撼。
“Every nerve in my body seemed to pulse,” she said. “I am so proud of my motherland. It occurred to me that better promoting core tech can help cultivate our interest in science and strengthen confidence in our nation. So I decided to do something,” said Xu.
“我身体的每根神经似乎都跳动了起来，”她表示。“我为祖国深感自豪。我突然想到，更好地推广硬核科技有助于培养我们对科学的兴趣，增强民族自信心。因此我决定要做点什么，”徐嘉苗如此说道。
After that, Xu and six other students spent about nine months drafting a proposal on how to implement patriotic education in a new era. A local member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) will bring it to the upcoming session, which will open on March 4 in Beijing.
从那以后，徐嘉苗和其他6名同学花了9个月的时间，起草了一份关于如何在新时代开展爱国主义教育的提案。当地的一名全国政协委员将会把这份提案带到即将在3月4日于北京开幕的全国两会上。
To better put their ideas into practice, Xu and her friends first searched online for related data. They then put together a questionnaire containing dozens of questions and surveyed hundreds of people. After analyzing the collected data, they proposed a series of practical ways to promote patriotic education: inviting experts to tour around the country and lecture on the core tech, opening up museums and laboratories, building landmarks such as sculptures, and posting videos online and putting up posters in subways.
为了更好地将自己的想法付诸实践，徐嘉苗和朋友们先在网上搜索了相关数据。接下来，他们设计了一份含有几十道问题的调查问卷，对数百人进行了问卷调查。在对收集的数据进行分析后，他们提出了一系列推进爱国主义教育的可行方式：邀请专家以硬核科技为主题开展全国巡讲，开放博物馆与实验室，建造雕塑等地标，在网络上发布视频，在地铁内张贴海报等。
Xu’s proposal is part of their school’s efforts to help students understand the country’s political system and gain a sense of social responsibility. In 2015, Xi’an Gaoxin No 1 High School set up its first model political consultative conference club. Ever since then, the school has been giving regular courses to interested students. Working as members of different teams, students learn how to conduct research, analyze data and present their proposals in an efficient manner.
徐嘉苗的提案是学校为帮助学生理解国家政治制度、培养社会责任感所做的工作之一。2015年，西安高新第一中学设立了首个“模拟政协”社团。从那以后，该校会定期对感兴趣的学生开展相关课程培训。学生们通过在不同的小组内工作，学会了如何展开研究，分析数据以及有效地呈现他们的提案。
In the past six years, the school’s students have had six proposals brought to the annual session of the CPPCC National Committee. Public health and current affairs are among students’ top interest.
在过去的6年间，共有6份该校学生起草的提案被带到了全国政协会议上。公共卫生与时事是学生们最关注的话题。
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, Liu Yicong, another student from the school, proposed to establish a national memorial day for the pandemic and improve the country’s pandemic prevention capabilities. She also suggested cultivating better hygiene habits through education.
新冠肺炎疫情期间，该校的另一位学生刘艺瑽提出要设立“国家防疫日”，提升国家防疫能力。她还建议通过教育培养更好的卫生习惯。
It’s not easy to produce quality proposals while balancing school. Lu Haoying, 18, said that the key is to stay focused on one thing at a time and work together with your team.
平衡学业的同时形成高质量的提案并非易事。18岁的卢皓颖表示，关键在于每次专注做好一件事，并且与团队协力合作。
