Guy de Maupassant（18501893）， one of the greatest critical realist writers in the world, is considered as one of three kings of world short story。 Maupassant created six novels and 359 medium forms during his brief lifetime, engendering a momentous effect on the later literature. And it’s his maiden work, Suet Ball that won him world-wide prestige.

In1870, with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, the real-based story Suet Ball happened. The heroine of the story is a humble harlot called Suet Ball. With a group of French residents of Rouen, recently occupied by the Prussian army, the 11 travelers are on their way fleeing to Le Havre in a stagecoach. In virtue of the appalling weather, the stagecoach moves rather slowly and has just covered a few miles by midday. Initially, those occupants snub Suet Ball whereas their attitudes alters with the emergence of a basket filled with scrumptious food and she caters for those hungry travelers selflessly.

The carriage doesn’t stop until they blunders into a Prussian-held territory called T?tes. A Prussian officer detains the coach with no definite reasons. In the next two days, the occupants wait with barely concealed impatience and eventually Suet Ball tells that they will be detained perpetually unless she approves of sleeping with the officer. Out of her patriotism, Suet Ball gives him a point-blank refusal. As it should be, those travelers behave furiously to the officer"s arrogance while during the next two days, they exemplify logic and morality in diverse ways to convince Suet Ball of its validity. What a kind-hearted girl! Finally Suet Ball gives up and sacrifices her body for everyone’s freedom.

The next morning, they are permitted to leave. But those "representatives of Virtue" totally neglect Suet Ball, casting scathing sights on the poor young woman while even disdaining talking to her and rejecting sharing their food with her in the same way that she did at the beginning. From their perspectives, Suet Ball turns out to be no more utilizable and should be condemned for her ashamed conduct. As the stagecoach travels deeper into the night, she seethes with rage against those hypocrites, and ultimately weeps for her lost dignity.

In this story, Maupassant highlighted the intense comparison between Suet Ball and the so-called nobles. Rapacity, hypocrisy, sexuality and nobility intertwine in the spotlight，eulogizing the underclass’ patriotism and lampooning the sham of the aristocracy. Maupassant portrays the inhabitants of the stagecoach in varied disparaging ways. The most luminous character belongs to the two nuns. At first they are portrayed as tranquil and subservient to Lord and demonstrate their fiery patriotic desire to dedicate to their motherland rather than a sordid intention like the other passengers: the nuns profess to haste to a military hospital to heal the wounded French soldiers, hence presenting the argument towards instigating Suet Ball to abandon her resistance. How absurd it is! Nuns are supposed to take strait vows and treat others benevolently. They fill Suet Ball"s head with arguments, arguing that it is not morally wrong to sleep with the officer in order to let the travelers leave, and that the longer she waits, the more young French soldiers will die as the nuns are not there to look after them. Superficially, they claim that it is for the good of the country but indeed they’re just taking advantage of her. Suet Ball"s resistance to the officer"s sexual advances again indicate her patriotism. Cruel wars have stripped all the external stuffs. In contrast to all of these is Suet Ball, a prostitute, revealed to be the most fiercely patriotic, virtuous, and morally admirable character, which Maupassant contrasts with the hypocrisy and snobbery of the others.

It is arguably Maupassant’s most famous short story. The carriage constitutes a microcosm of French society as a whole. And the narrative techniques of this story are rather sophisticated and carefully conceived. On balance, a real noble person like Suet Ball can’t be judged by the appearance or the occupation, his/ her moral quality will glitter when confronting the real ordeal. Consequently, I deem that Suet Ball is worth reading lingeringly, savoring every word.

River Pollution

A great deal of dead fish can be found floating on the surface of the Huaihe River(淮河), because of serious pollution this summer. In a report, Anhui Daily called on residents (居民) to help protect the river against pollution.

要求：1 必须包括对上述主要内容的感想，可以适当增减细节，使其连贯、完整。

2 词数：100左右

Chinese people are now face to a serious problem--pollution. And this problem is a little bit different from others--the goverment can not solve it by themselves. We need everyone to protect our environment. But we also know that it is very hard to call everyone to join us to protect the environment. But it seems that they have found the way to let everybody know it. In a report, Anhui Daily called on residents to help protect the river against pollution. I am so glad about it. And i believe that somewhere the pollution must stop.

【翻译】

中国人现在面临着一个严重的问题污染。这个问题有点不同，政府不能自己解决。我们需要每个人来保护我们的环境。但我们也知道，很难叫大家加入我们保护环境。但似乎他们已经找到了让每个人都知道的方法。在一份报告中，安徽日报呼吁居民帮助保护河流免受污染。我很高兴。我相信某处的污染必须停止。

我读了《童年》这个故事，他是一段一个由于真善美的天才讲述的残酷，悲惨的生活故事。

可怜的阿辽什卡很小丧父，被带到外祖父家。外祖父是一个濒临破产的小染坊主。他性格暴躁，自私贪婪。而两个舅舅也粗野不堪，自私自利。他们争夺财产、打仗斗殴、愚弄毒打儿童等。在这丑恶的环境里，幼小的阿辽什卡压得喘不过气来。但扔然有许多善良、正直的人给了他精神的支撑和帮助，使他看到了光明。不幸的是他的母亲也离开了人世，他小小年龄，却成了孤儿。这时，狠心的祖父残忍的把他赶出了家门，他就这样走向了人间……

读完后，我觉得阿辽什卡太可怜了，他的童年太悲惨了。让我想起了我的童年是多么的幸福快乐。我们被父母宠着、爱着、丰衣足食，哪怕遇到一丁点的委屈，都要在父母的怀抱中诉说。我读了《童年》以后才深深地体会到，高尔基的坚强和伟大，我们恰恰相反。环境可以造就一个人，也可以毁灭一个人，你的坚强、光明和博爱的心，而是变得越加开阔。就是这样的精神和环境下，造就了高尔基，成就了高尔基。也许，这就是他成功的密决吧!

《童年》这本书告诉我们：“脚下的路是自己走出来了的，不管前面的路是笔直平坦的，还是悬崖峭壁，我们都要勇敢的走下去。要学习高尔基的坚强、勇敢、正直自信的精神。”这让我更加明白了什么是童年，什么是幸福童年。

Ive read this twice. The first time I rushed through it just to find out who was the "victim." Yeah. Wasnt really surprised about that. Im sure a few people are thinking it was a serious mistake to off our lamented victim, but honestly, I wasnt really enthused at having to slog through this book.

I understand that this is covering the adolescent years of young Mr. Potter, but the whole teenage angst thing came out of nowhere. There shouldve been some hints as far back as "Chamber" but instead, we have four years of pent-up hormones come flooding out of the page. It is overwhelming at times, a feeling made worse when you realize that there wasnt a big plot; if anything, this was written partially for contract, partially to continue the story （I, personally, could have lived without the whole Hagrid/Grawp subplot, not to mention 50% of Dolores Umbridge, who herself is part pun, part metaphor, yet neither part really does anything but make one groan）。

But one thing to be said, there is growing tension and suspense in the book, which is written and intended--if we remember for a moment and think （perhaps somewhat na-iv-ely）--for young adults and not those of us with seasoned palates. This is why the book deserves a high rating; to me--and to many individuals over the age of, say, 16--this isnt a great novel. But it is an excellent novel for the young adult crowd and anyone who wants a mystery/fantasy/pseudo-thriller with characters who are reaching the genesis of their development. We may not like the person Harry becomes or the browbeating attitude of Umbridge or Rons jealousy rearing its head at odd turns, but it is a realistic portrayal of adolescent confusion and angst, of the tendency for some individuals in todays society to repreinformation and punish anyone who tries to resist the "system."

Yes, this is a heavy-handed statement, but this book is a metaphor as much as it is a fantasy. Remember, the Harry Potter series is desgined as an arc, so we naturally have to have the stage set for the final two books in the saga.

Hardcore Potter fans will enjoy this. Anyone expecting a great epic, however, will be disappointed because of their misconceptions.

The unknown world is full of curiosity, mankind to explore space, explores the desert and north and south poles, the submarine two miles "this book and put me into the mysterious underwater world.

This is a science fiction novel, tells the story of French biologist Aaron natrium, professor and two assistant kang cernet, DE.

The characters in the book is very brave, has the spirit of adventure, they encountered a giant octopus, the arctic ocean storm, also not afraid, grasped the nettle. This book inspired me good good study, and good unknown world is in front of us!

人类对未知世界充满了好奇，人类探索太空，探索沙漠和南北极，《海底两万里》这本书又把我带进了神秘的海底世界。

这是一本科幻小说，讲述了法国生物学家阿龙纳斯教授和两个助手康赛尔、尼德。兰在太平洋上追踪海怪，令他们没想到的是，海怪是一艘潜水艇——“鹦鹉螺”号。他们三人在追踪的过程中不慎落水了，被“鹦鹉螺”号好心的尼摩船长救了，从此开始了一段神奇的海底旅行。他们品尝了丰富的海产品，参观了设施齐全的“鹦鹉螺”号，还去海底森林狩猎，遭遇了水族部队，还观赏了海底的稀世珍宝，看到了足球那么大的珍珠……他们的奇妙旅行真是让我羡慕。

我真要感谢这本书呀!虽然我们现在还不能有条件去海底旅行，但这本书却像尽职的导游一样，带我领略了海底的神奇，还教给了我许多知识。书中的人物也非常勇敢，具有冒险精神，他们遇到了巨型章鱼，北冰洋风暴，也毫不畏惧，迎难而上。这本书激励我好好学习，开阔眼界，美好的未知世界就在前面等我们呢!

After reading this book I think it is necessary to share the old legend to everybody .

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it lea一ves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the sa一vage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His hea一ven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain …

Meggie Cleary is just like the bird,and Ralph is her superlative song.

I read the book then watched the movie, both of them ga一ve me great shock, I really admire Meggie,she had the courage to use her whole life to love Ralph, never ga一ve up. She believed that she would love Ralph only in her life. But I don’t like Meggie’s attitude to love, Ralph is a Father, and he mustn’t love Meggie, they really loved each other, but they are not destined to be together. So in my opinion I think Meggie should give in, she shouldn’t fight with God, Ralph had told her he would serve God forever, so Meggie wouldn’t win. Maybe giving up is a good choice. Their love is painful.

Tell the turth I don’t like Meggie neither Ralph, Ralph could not give Meggie happniess while Meggie couldn’t support Ralph to concentrate on his work. So they would not ha一ve happy life, they only made each other feel sad .

Frank is my fa一vorite role. he was short but strong ,and he was one of the main labor in his family. He didn’t want to be a shepherd, but the family needed him , and he must feed he the sheep so that everybody in his family can live better. Once he escaped from home , but it wassn’t long before his father found him and take him home. I feel so sorry that he had a miserable fate. He longed for freedom but most of his life didn’t belong to himself, it’s really a pity .

Frank was different to every man in their home, he loved his mother deeply, and he always helped his mother do the housework. he dreamed to be an outstanding boxer. Frank was considerable, and he always try his best to make Meggie feel happy. As Meggie’s oldest brother, he could be worried about Meggie’s fa一vorite doll, and he even tried to fixed the doll which was distroyed by Meggie’s other brothers. Frank and Meggie would always tell each other what they thought in their deep heart , and they are close friends.

I was so sad when I learned that Frank killed a man and he was sent to the prision. It is really a big shock to Meggie, for Frank was the only one who can listen to Meggie’s secrets. She thought she lost Frank forever. I cannot imagine how painful for Frank to spend dozens years in the prision. He once had good dream about his life, but he had to waste most of his life in prision. In my opinion it was Frank’s father that distoryed his life. His father didn’ t give him freedom, and Frank can’t had strong resistance spirits, and because he didn’t control himself and broke the law.The energitic Frank will never come to us, and he became a man who didn’t wanna talk. He began to be afraid of the world…it is really a pity.

As for Meggie, I think she was a good girl. She was beautiful and smart, but she it was wrong for her to love Ralph. Meggie was an excellent girl, she was able to find an outstanding boy to love her, but she put all her love on Ralph even she married Luke. She married Luke just because Luke looked like Ralph. Meggie wanna be a thorn bird, but I think it was too cruel to her. She was so kind that she shouldn’t stand that king of pain, and I think she was born to ha一ve a happy life. I pity for her.

Both the story of thorn birds and the legend are painful and beautiful, but not every one can be the thorn birds, because it is not our porpose to ha一ve a painful life. We are born to be happy. Olny happiness is the ture meaning of life while the story was written for us to enrich our life. It is a wonderful story.

It allows us to see the ancients of the intense emotional attachment, Desolate sorrow the United States, driven by the strong spirit of demonstrating their love in the spirit of the force on the texture. We see Jing Zhonghua, in the water, on hazy, mysterious feeling hazy realm of birds. They kind of mental, physical emotional blur, all with their own stupid Han Yun, feudal in detention so that they have become slaves of love, history, the role of emotion in tragedy. Between people are full of alienation and indifference. Turned away, only those left behind is their bleak, tragic, even pathetic, pathetic footprints. In their own time and space in the world and with his brilliant performance but also lose the taste of the emotions. Unfortunately, even if it does have its own mental irrigation; even sad, but they have their own spiritual sustenance; even if poor, they have the sympathy and pity for the others later sigh; even history, but also has a world of endless post- worship and praise.

课堂是学生获得语言知识，提高语言技能和培养语言交际能力的主要场所，因而使得教师的语言成为课堂教学的工具，又是学生学习的内容。而我们作为英语老师，感知身上压力更大。因为英语对我们来说比较是非母语，怎样才能在课堂中更准确，更流利，更自信地表达自己的想法呢?这一直是我们需要改进提高的部分——教师课堂用语。这本书的出现，真的是能使我们在短期能迅速提高，有据可依的范本。

该书提供了英语教学中最基本最实用的表达句式。Part1中介绍英语课堂中常用句式。Part2中介绍在指导学生4种技能及词汇、语法、发音时需要用到的表达方式。Part3中介绍在练习、游戏、文体活动、分组活动等各项活动中需要用的英语表达。Part4中收录了教师与学生之间常用交流句式。此外，在附录中还为学生们整理了不同主题的英语课堂常用语，这样更有利于师生之间的互动交流。

而且该书经过严格筛选，收录的常用语简洁易懂，实用性强。用英语教学的根本目的不在于展示教师英语实力，所以避免使用一些晦涩难懂的高级词汇，提倡使用一些有利于教师解释和学生理解的简单句式。并且针对不同层次水平的教学内容以及每个表达方式之间会存在一些细微的差别，书中收录很多常用语以适用不同情况。

看了这本书中针对各种情况下的课堂用语，简明扼要而且用多种句子表达相同或相近的一个指令，真的非常值得我们借鉴学习，越细细地去阅读这本书，越开始对自己的课堂用语进行反思。

在课堂用语的表达中，常常存在一些问题。比如，在课堂中往往表达比较随意，用语不够规范。再则，表达时词汇单调，显得乏味，不能给学生很好的丰富语言的范例。久而久之，对于学生能力的提升没有正面的帮助。正因为知道教师课堂语言的重要性，如何在这方面得以改进提高，是非常重要的!

那往往哪些因素在影响着我们教师的语言呢?首先由于教师采用的教学方法不同，每位老师的教育背景和教育理念不同，采用的教学方式也各异，因而呈现出的教学用语也不一样。其次，教师的性格，教师的情感也起到一定影响。再则，学生英语程度的高低，也会影响教师课堂用语所花时间的长短。

怎样可以帮助自己提高这方面的能力呢?首先，还是要规范自己的英语表达，先做到正确无误，不能有中式英语。尽量避免受母语的影响，在表达时，句式，语法要多吸收纯正的英语表达，使自己在课堂中能流利地表达自己的想法。

其次，要深入浅出，根据学生的年龄和知识特点，选择适合他们层次水平的语言，但要略高于学生的水平，这样有利于提高学生的能力。逐渐乃至全部使用英语去讲解新学的词汇，句子等等，让学生使用英语的能力得到提升。挖掘教材中隐性的一些话题，让学生拓展思维，去进行互动交流。

再则，教师语言要生动风趣，幽默灵活。这样的课堂，教师往往能利用自己的教育机智，让课堂变得更加活跃，消除学生的紧张情绪，创造更好的语言交流氛围。

然后，教学语言也可和板书，肢体语言相配合。让课堂中的表达更丰富，让学生更显而易见地明了自己的表达，更容易地互相交流。

接着，尽量用“积极语言”代替“消极语言”，给学生更多的鼓励与肯定，培养学生的学习积极性。每一个人都有自卑的心理，尤其是学生在回答后，如果给他太直接的否定的答案，可能会使他产生消极的学习情绪，换种表达，可能对学生来说，有意想不到的效果。

作为英语老师，我们的语言真的非常重要，相信我们多些学习，更关注下自己的课堂用语，对学生的学习起到积极的正面作用，相信他们也会更爱学英语。

[关于《我的第一本英语教师课堂用语手册》的读后感

According to most analyses, The Catcher in the Rye is a bildungsroman, a novel about a young character’s growth into maturity. While it is appropriate to discuss the novel in such terms, Holden Caulfield is an unusual protagonist for a bildungsroman because his central goal is to resist the process of maturity itself. As his thoughts about the Museum of Natural History demonstrate, Holden fears change and is overwhelmed by complexity. He wants everything to be easily understandable and eternally fixed, like the statues of Eskimos and Indians in the museum. He is frightened because he is guilty of the sins he criticizes in others, and because he can’t understand everything around him. But he refuses to acknowledge this fear, expressing it only in a few instances—for example, when he talks about sex and admits that “[s]ex is something I just don’t understand. I swear to God I don’t” (Chapter 9).

Instead of acknowledging that adulthood scares and mystifies him, Holden invents a fantasy that adulthood is a world of superficiality and hypocrisy (“phoniness”), while childhood is a world of innocence, curiosity, and honesty. Nothing reveals his image of these two worlds better than his fantasy about the catcher in the rye: he imagines childhood as an idyllic field of rye in which children romp and play; adulthood, for the children of this world, is equivalent to death—a fatal fall over the edge of a cliff. His created understandings of childhood and adulthood allow Holden to cut himself off from the world by covering himself with a protective armor of cynicism. But as the book progresses, Holden’s experiences, particularly his encounters with Mr. Antolini and Phoebe, reveal the shallowness of his conceptions.

"The great gatsby is a harbor of" American dream "in the literature writer Fitzgeralds works, Fitzgerald said his own extraordinary, with his parents is different also, dont even think of themselves as the son of parents, he has come from the self Platonic idea.

In this article, the hero that gatsby is a unique thought of the people, he also have Platonic love. He put himself as the son of god, he thought he should be gods career service, his pursuit of a "vast, secular, ostentation of beauty", obviously he imagine himself become Christs character. Seventeen, he decided to change name, from the original James gates to jay gatsby, jay gatsby is said to be English Jesus, God ` s boy pronunciation variation. But the irony is that, from the moment he changed his name, he began to pursue the so-called beauty and kindness, also began his tragic life. He saw Daisy buchanan as he pursues the incarnation of beauty. When he saw her, he knew that she had put his ideal and his life together. He knew his heart to heart with god, must be single-minded, never heart side wu chi. When he kissed her for the first time, "she is just like a flower bloom for him, and the embodiment of this ideal is done." On Daisy, gatsbys dream became flesh and blood. He desire and Daisy together to realize their dreams.

However, Daisy cannot act as the role. She is a just a miss the bourgeoisie for the highest goal in life, no thoughts, there is no sentiment, shallow false, bored, nothing to do. She never to realize gates than his dream to sacrifice their own vested interests. While gatsby himself could not achieve their dreams, of course, his idea is too unreal. He and Daisys husband Tom buchanan possess wealth, the difference between two people is at least he used his wealth to pursue a kind of "beauty", and try my best to get it. However, he didnt win it, finally, George Wilson, is Toms mistresss husband in Daisy couple killed gatsby conspired and egged. His dream completely shattered. Gatsbys failure is the fundamental reason is that he did the "American dream" has been out of date, his opportunity had little s dream come true.

I felt sorry for gatsby, he is so single-minded, but in the end was hurt by their favorite woman. Of course he is praiseworthy in some places. He can read the love is beautiful, and not like most people associate love and interests. But he really misled by his ideal, he did not see time and occasion, he shouldnt be on the right people also is reluctant to part with the past memories after married. And Daisy this person too vain, too greedy. To some extent, gates than the final fate has a lot to do with her.

《了不起的盖茨比》是一本在上文学上怀有“美国梦”的作家菲茨杰拉德的作品，菲茨杰拉德认为他自己与众不同，与他的父母也不同，甚至不认为自己是父母的儿子，他拥有来自于柏拉图式的自我观念。

在这篇文章中，主人公即盖茨比就是一种自认为与众不同的人，他同样拥有柏拉图式的爱情观。他把自己看成是上帝之子，他认为自己应为上帝的事业效劳，他追求一种“博大的，世俗的，虚饰的美”，显然他把自己想象成为基督一样的人物。十七岁的他决定改名，由原来的詹姆斯·盖茨改为杰伊·盖茨比，据说杰伊·盖茨比是英语Jesus, God`s boy 发音的变体。但是具有讽刺意味的是，从他改名那一刻起，他开始追求所谓的美和善，也就开始了他的人生悲剧。他把黛西·布坎南视为他追求的那种美的化身。当他见到她时，他知道她已经把他的理想与他的生命气息结合在一起了。他知道他的心要与上帝的心一样，必须专一，绝不可驰心旁骛。当他第一次亲吻她时，“她就像一朵鲜花一样为他绽放，于是这个理想的化身就完成了。”在黛西身上，盖茨比的梦想变得有血有肉。他企求与黛西联袂来实现自己的梦想。

但是，黛西根本无力担任这个角色。她不过是一个一项了为人生最高目标的资产阶级小姐，没有思想，没有情操，浅薄虚假，百无聊赖，无所事事。她绝不可能为实现盖茨比自己的梦想去牺牲自己的既得利益。而盖茨比自己当然不可能实现自己的梦想，他的想法太过虚幻。他和黛西的丈夫汤姆·布坎南都拥有财富，两人的不同之处是他至少用他的财富去追求一种“美”，并竭尽全力去得到它。然而，他没有赢得它，最后，乔治·威尔逊，也就是汤姆的情妇的丈夫在黛西夫妇的合谋和挑唆下杀死了盖茨比。他的梦想彻底破灭了。盖茨比的失败就其根本原因是他做的那个“美国梦”已过时了，他所处的年代梦想成真的机会已经微乎其微。

我自己为盖茨比感到惋惜，他如此专一，但最终被自己喜欢的女子所害。当然他有些地方是值得称赞的。他能够把爱情看得很美，而没有像大多数人一样把爱情和利益联系起来。不过他确实被自己的理想所误导，他没有看清时间与场合，他不该在心仪人已婚后还对过去美好回忆恋恋不舍。而黛西这个人太爱慕虚荣，太过于贪心。从某种程度上讲，盖茨比最终的下场跟她有很大的关系。

其实看完《人性的弱点》整本书，最喜欢的还是那句：“凡爱心，善行，应即刻兑现。不要迟疑，不要停留。光阴易逝，时不我待，人生只有一次。”

我们都在这个世界上生活，其实活着的意义是什么?为什们要与人相处?应该与人怎样相处?每天都有不同的问题困扰着我们。小时候我们被教育“人之初，性本善”，或许这就是我们与别人相处的首要潜意识。其实没有错，当我们抱着一个善良的心态与别人相处，我们用自己的真心，诚挚地赞美别人，用善良的心态对待别人，别人也会以这样的态度回报你吧~当然，态度很重要，当我们抱着一颗诚挚的心与他人相处，这个世界也会因此变得美好。我们确实要抱着善良的心态在世界上活着，虽然心与心总是相通的，但有时候心计与心计是相克的。当我们诚心、善良，别人有时候不一定这样想。古人说，人心都是肉长的，彼此用心，才能做到血肉相连，生死与共。

我觉得在现在的世界上活着，就应该抱着双重心态，善良，诚实是很重要，但也应该有自己的底线，这样世界才能更好地生活和发展~善良是一种善行，我们要抱着善良的心态对一切关爱自己的人，怀着感恩的心。我也相信是一种生活态度，是一种品德，当你抱着善良的心态与他人结交，懂得付出的对待别人，才会感受到人生的美好。常怀善良之情，必得善念之恩泽，心境自然安宁。善良地对待别人，就是善待自己，是一种福分，我就常常这样想，我相信就是在生活中的每一件小事也是一样的，我们在世界上走这一遭，路上定会遇到那么多的妖魔鬼怪，但是当我们抱着善良的心态，世界肯定是公平的，它不会亏待你的，当别人说是，肯定他人的看法，这是基本的尊重，这样才能得到别人对你的肯定。我们都相信一个人的美是由内而外的，外表固然重要，但是心灵美才是真正的美，每一个人可以不漂亮，但一定不能不善良，因为相由心生。善良的人总会透漏着别样的光芒，就像荷花一样出淤泥而不染，有着它们的超凡脱俗。修心养性，温暖和善，抱着一颗善良的心态对待他人，润物细无声的将善良与真诚对待他人，这样个世界才会公正的对待你吧。你给我一个拥抱，我还你一个微笑，你给我一滴水，我倾其一片大海，播种善良与诚信，这个世界才会变得更好吧!

When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.

At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story’s development. How many non-American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu ‘why you be the scapegoat of your father?’ Xu answers ‘because he is Chinese.’ Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.

The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu’s boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”， yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won’t beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.

Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children’s right. What’s more, I remember a line ‘No one won the case, especially the child.’ In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.

The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades ‘you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.’ And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says ‘I have to follow the procedure.’ However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor ，for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.

The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says ‘you can’t fall, your health security is the company paid.’ ‘Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.’ ‘dady, why you come from the window’ ‘ because we don’t have a chimney.’ I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.

That’s my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.

史蒂芬·霍金那本畅销世界的《时间简史》以成为科学着述的里程碑。这不仅归因于作者迷人的表达方式，还归因于他讨论的令人敬畏的主题：空间和时间的本性，上帝在创生中的作用，宇宙的历史和将来。但是，在它问世后的岁月里，有些读者一直不断地向霍金教授诉说，在这本书中某些最重要的概念理解起来非常困难。

《时间简史》里试图把宇宙描述成一个有限但无边界的空间，它是完全自足的，没有开始也没有结束，它就是存在。对时间则有如下描述，“无序度或熵随着时间增加是一个所谓的时间箭头的例子。时间箭头将过去和未来区别开来，使时间有了方向。至少有三种时间箭头：第一个，是热力学时间箭头，即是在这个时间方向上无序度或熵增加;然后是心理学时间箭头，这就是我们感觉时间流逝的方向，在这个方向上我们可以记忆过去而不是未来;最后，是宇宙学时间箭头，在这个方向上宇宙在膨胀，而不是在收缩。”

在我的理解范围内，时间是一种过于复杂的概念。可以抽象地把它说成是伴随在我们身边的一种物质，尽管它无从捕捉，却又确实存在。也可以实化成身边的一切物质，也许你发现不了，但他们确实在被时间改变。明知肯定有东西在周围影响我们的生活，却终究看不清究竟是什么。而时间是自身存在的，至少我现在这么认为，虽然目前没有时光机。

这让我想到了爱因斯坦的理论，当物体的速度达到光速的时候就能穿越时空。如果这是真的，有一天有人证实时间是由某种物质发出的话，我们就可以有时光机穿梭将来和过去。一切的一切都联系着时间，当没有了时间，物质是否就失去了它的本质意义呢?也许物质存在于时间之中只是我们自己选择的一种方式，或别的什么为我们制定的。没有时间的世界是一个没有连续性的平衡世界，因为时间与空间是一个整体，是坐标轴上的弦，失去了其中一根，假设是X

轴，那么Y 轴也就没有意义了。

我们生活在一个由特定的时间所控制的世界。一切都由永远不停止的却又有着严格规律运作的时间主宰。也许它突然在一瞬间停止，调皮地玩弄我们，而我们却也一无所知，当时间开启之后，继续自己的生活。它也许是不朽的，至少在我们这些生命短暂的物质看来，与璀璨的宇宙发展史相比，那确实是不朽的。它在特定的时间和空间内产生一个点，就这样无数个点连接在一起，变成线，变成面，就无限制地编织下去，直到宇宙的结束，如果那宇宙没有结束，也就继续不朽地编织下去，那就是人类所无法涉及的永恒。

在宇宙大爆炸的理论，文中提到宇宙大爆炸发生1 秒种后温度降为100

亿度，那么爆炸前的温度是多少呢?在网上查找相关资料相结合后知道宇宙大爆炸前的温度为10 的32

次方绝对温度。这是经近代高能物理学家所证明的温度。虽然这庞大的数字，特殊的单位我都无法理解，但我感受到自己是多么的渺小。

其实宇宙大爆炸理论的发现是一位普通的医生。有一晚，他在家中看星空，突然想到了一个问题，如果根据万有引力定律，那么天空的星星应该互相吸引而越来越近，可是为什么人们却没发现星星都聚在一起的现象呢?

于是他提出，一定有一种作用力在抵消星球间的引力，于是，这就是宇宙在膨胀扩散理论的第一位提出者。

当大爆炸前，宇宙是一个高度均匀恒温的原始火球，那么这就是一个无序的状态，这和热力学第二定律又是反的了。根据研究发现，宇宙在大爆炸后在10 的负23

次方每秒，这一瞬间的时间，宇宙就膨胀了10 倍，那么这个宇宙膨胀的速度有多快呢? 大概是10 的31 次方米/ 秒，这是什么概念?

根据爱因斯坦的相对论，光速是不可超的，除非是在静止的状态，质量为0 的光子，才可能达到光速，光速是多少?1 秒种30 万公里，那么就是3 乘10 的8

次方米每秒，这是光速，而宇宙膨胀的速度远远的亿万倍地超过光速。在大爆炸开始10 的35 次方米每秒以内的事情根本没办法知道。

再来说宇宙大爆炸的速度，这个速度既不能快，也不能慢，如果慢的话，所有星球就会被万有引力拉回来，整个宇宙大爆炸要精调到10 的55

次方分之一才可能达到爆炸所需要的速度。

只有真正懂行的天文学家才知道对神的敬畏，所以很多的天文学家告诉我们，神有两本书启示我们，一本是圣经，一本是大自然。两者之间绝不会相互矛盾。天文学家是很骄傲的，因为他们是研究天文的，所以要让他们相信上帝是很难的，可是现在随着宇宙大爆炸理论的研究，使越来越多的天文学家的信仰发生了变化，有的科学家你明显地看到是从无神论变成有神论。

读完《时间简史》，获益匪浅。虽然霍金先生深入简出地表达其对时空以及宇宙的看法，但许多抽象的概念我还是没有弄懂，更不敢不懂装懂歪曲原意，所以在这里就谈谈我看完该书后对时间的认识吧。

我们这个世界，或者说宇宙，是在某条时间弦的，而其他的X Y Z

轴等我们都不知道，因为人类只有看见三维的能力，最多只能感觉到四维，而宇宙起码在四维以上。

The hero of the story called Holden,he was a middle school student,but he didn’t like studying at all.He was tired of everything in the school. So he was expelled from school for the fourth time.

In the removed that night,Holden left school,but he was afraid to go home.In desperation,Holden lived in a small hotel.However,it was a chaos of hotel,some shady people lived there,here Holden made a lot of stupid things.Later,he and his girlfriend split up.

Then Holden to the bar to drink with an old school friend,he got very drunk,he put his head in cold water for a while,just wake up. When he walked out of the pub, be cold wind blows, the hair of his head was frozen.He thought he might die from pneumonia, always can"t see his sister, decided to take the plunge and home her farewell.

Holden secretly returned home, he said to sister his ideal, he will want to be a catcher in the rye. Later, his parents came back, Holden frighten hide in closet.When his parents went to the bedroom, he quickly slipped out of the house, to a his respected teacher spend the night in the home.

Part two Book Report

This is a novel about adolescent psychological problems. From the point of subject, like all young men, the hero is a liberal person, but he doesn"t handle their own problems, at the same time, he was also confused, he don"t know their future.

Perhaps everyone in a teenager have encountered similar problems, when we are at that time we offen not to talk about own confusion,so we may enter a wrong way,bringing harm to myself. So after finished reading this book, I realize the importance of mental health, when we meet with difficulties, we should actively to face, and efforts to solve every problem,can"t give up myself,we must have the courage to face the reality.

I dont like them, so deep to sing "one hundred years of solitude". Any book in my here, it is a mirror, led his own at the same time, also means we used to ignore the fact that. Im thinking, their fate of sorrow. They were so hard perseverance and luster, but there is a so ridiculous and boring life. I had a fear, and fear of my life, to protect my parents, my on the material to meet them, in the spiritual support them.

I also deeply realized that a reality. A person, when there is love and ideals, there will be a lonely. The more we love, more lonely.

Then, this day, for me, although it is the only one year, but it will not perfect. "One hundred years of solitude" boone diaz family each person, they all of life is decided by childhood, a scene in a moment, it has affected their rich and long life. Walked to the end, I could have, but also is the scene of the moment, just at that moment, have without any emotion, as if, the moment has been at his side, and he was the one who has been lost.

I hope I can dont like them, in the process of life, committed to the initial imperfection, has been lost.

Open the heart, embrace the world of good, be a doomed not to complete, but happy people.

This is the birthday of speech. Not happy birthday to myself, but I wish yourself open-minded contentment.

我无法像他们一样，那么深切的去歌颂《百年孤独》。任何一本书，在我这里，就是一面镜子，照见自己的同时，也照见了我们习惯漠视不见的事实。我在想，那些人他们悲戚的命运。他们曾经那么努力执着、那么夺目，却有一个那么荒诞和无聊的晚年。我由此又产生了害怕，怕我有生之年，来不及真真切切的保护我的父母，在物质上满足他们，在精神上支撑他们。

我也深深的了解到一个现实。一个人，在有了爱和理想的时候，就有了孤独。我们愈爱，便愈发孤独。

那么，今天这个日子，于我，虽然是一年中的唯一，但终归不会圆满。《百年孤独》的布恩迪亚家族的每一个人，他们的人生全部由童年决定，某一幕某一瞬间，就已经影响到了他们这丰富而漫长的一生。走到最后，能忆起来的，也不过是那一瞬间的景象，只不过那一刻，已不带任何情感，就好像，那一刻一直跟在他身边，而他，才是一直迷失的人。

我希望我能不像他们一样，在生命的进程中，执着于最初的不圆满，一直迷失下去。

打开那颗心，拥抱这世间的好，做个注定不圆满，却满足幸福的人。

这就是生日的感言吧。不祝自己生日快乐，却祝自己豁达知足。

Anne is a distinctive girl. She had her own mind. Maybe in the views of others she is a naughty girl. Especially she has a quiet sister. Comparing with Margot she was not favorable. At the beginning her general appearance her character her manners were discussed from A to Z. But with the time going by she were becoming sensible. One must apply one’s reason to everything earning to obey to hold our tongue to help to be good to give in. Life has the great power to change us to adapt it. In addition Anne started afresh and tried to get to the bottom of it all. As she said we should examine the whole matter carefully ourselves and find out what is true and what is exaggerated. In our daily life we often meet arguments with parents. We can stick to the Anne’s principle. If parents are wrong we shall try first of all to make them alter their ideas and if we don’t succeed we shall stick to our own opinions and judgement. Although she lived in a small room she still had a brightful heart. She believed that it was spiring within her she felt that spring was awaking she felt it in her whole body and soul. And in the book she wrote and thought much of the time about things which very sensitive. For example she described a lot about the affair with Peter. It’s normal for a teenager. I think parents should read this book so they can regard this question correctly.

Anne said “One certainly could not call us rich now but all my hopes are pinned on after the war.” Now we are in the peaceful world hope is full of our life. So there is no reason putting off achieving dreams we should treasure everyone everything every moment that we have.

这个暑假我读完了美国权威作家欧内斯特？海明威写的《老人与海》

《老人与海》讲述的一名孤独的老人出海已有八十四次，但是每一次都是一鱼不获，前四十次还有一位小男孩陪伴，但后来小男孩因父母的劝说不能和老人一起出海打鱼。老人在岸上只能和小男孩说话，在海上却只能自言自语。再第八十五次打鱼时，老人偶然碰到了一只马林鱼，老人虽然独力勇捕了一只十八英长的马林鱼，却无力驱杀争食的“牙利鬼”。他败了，但是带回去的马林残骸，向众渔夫见证了他虏获的战利品并非夸大，而是真正的光荣。故事结束时，老人不甘放弃，仍然和男孩准备在跨海出征。正如“乡愁诗人”余光中先生所说的：“《老人与海》真是一片刚阳﹑壮阔、紧添的杰作。”

《时间简史》讲述是探索时间和空间核心秘密的故事，是关于宇宙本性的最前沿知识，包括我们的宇宙图像、空间和时间、膨胀的宇宙不确定性原理、基本粒子和自然的力、黑洞、黑洞不是这么黑、时间箭头等内容。

霍金在《时间简史》中介绍了20世纪物理学的基础知识，涵盖范围很广，从相对论到量子力学，从宇宙膨胀到基本粒子，从黑洞到虫洞，霍金都有所涉及。更重要的是，霍金还介绍了“奇点定理”和“霍金辐射”这两个自己最重要的学术贡献，以及试图解决宇宙起源问题的“无边界宇宙模型”。

一、奇点定理

霍金和彭罗斯利用严谨的数学方法证明了，如果广义相对论是正确的，而且宇宙中的确有我们观测到的那么多物质，那宇宙一定诞生于一个奇点之中。

1.宇宙不是静态的，而是在不断地膨胀

埃德温·哈勃等科学家发现，宇宙中的绝大部分星系都在远离地球而去，而且离地球越远的恒星，离开地球的速度也越快。这意味着，宇宙就像是气球一样，在不断地膨胀。

2.“奇点定理”意味着在广义相对论框架内，宇宙必然有一开端。“奇点”是体积无限小、弯曲程度无限大、密度无限大、引力无限大的点。宇宙就诞生于“奇点”之中。

二、无边界宇宙模型

在描述宇宙历史的模型中，“宇宙大爆炸”模型是当前的主流理论，但这一理论目前无法解决宇宙起源问题。霍金因此把量子力学和相对论结合起来，提出了“无边界宇宙模型”，试图解决这一问题。

1.宇宙大爆炸模型无法解决宇宙起源问题

在宇宙大爆炸模型中，宇宙诞生于“奇点”。物质、空间和时间，都是大爆炸之后才出现的。大爆炸之前的任何事件，对于我们来说都没有任何意义，或者说根本就不存在。也就是说，宇宙时空并不是无限的，而是有一个边界和开端。包括广义相对论在内的所有物理定律，都会在奇点处失效，因此人类无法直接研究奇点。

这就为上帝的存在留下了空间。

2.在“无边界宇宙模型”中，宇宙没有起源和开端

在“无边界宇宙模型”中，宇宙是“有限无界”的，没有边界和奇点。霍金认为，这个宇宙是完全自给自足的，不受任何外来事物影响，没有创生和消灭的时刻，它就是存在本身，不需要上帝来创造它。“无边界宇宙模型”里的宇宙，是一个空间和时间交织在一起所组成的四维宇宙。在这个宇宙中，时空就像是地球的表面，在范围上是有限的，但却没有形成边界，也没有形成奇点。科学规律在任何一个时空点上都适用，不会发生崩溃。

三、霍金辐射

“霍金辐射”也就是“黑洞辐射”。霍金利用量子力学中的“不确定性原理”提出，黑洞也会发出辐射，并不是完全黑的。

1.黑洞形成

当恒星的内部燃料耗尽之后，在自身的引力作用下，就可能坍塌成黑洞。黑洞质量大，体积小，引力极高，任何物质，包括光在内，只要进入某个临界区域，就永远不可能逃出黑洞。

黑洞吸引一切的性质，跟热力学第二定律产生了冲突。所有有温度的物体，都应该发出辐射和粒子，但如果连光都逃不出黑洞的引力，黑洞怎么能发出辐射呢?

2.霍金利用“不确定性”原理提出了“黑洞辐射”

霍金提出，黑洞的边缘在一刻不停地产生成对的粒子，其中带有负能量的粒子会被吸到黑洞里去，但还有一些带正能量的粒子，可以从黑洞的边缘逃脱。在外界看来，就好像是黑洞在不断地向外发射粒子，这就是黑洞辐射，也叫“霍金辐射”。

在“不确定性原理”的限制下，即使是看似毫无一物的虚空，在微观上也是波澜起伏的。会不断地产生成对的粒子和反粒子，再碰撞到一起发生湮灭。黑洞的确会发射出粒子，但这些粒子，并不是从黑洞里面跑出来的，而是从黑洞边缘的空虚的空间里，无中生有变出来的。

相信大多人看到这里会觉得很荒谬，但我们凭什么就自认为了解得更多呢?终其一生，爱因斯坦致力于和平的努力可能成效甚微——肯定不受欢迎。然而，1952年他得到担任以色列总统的提议，他对犹太复国主义事业的畅言无忌的支持得到了充分的承认。但他谢绝了。他说他认为自己在政治上过于天真。可是，也许他真正的理由却并非如此，再次引用他自己的话：“方程对我而言更重要些，因为政治是为当前，而方程却是永恒的东西。”

智者之所以称为智者，是能够认清自己，知己其所能，其所不能。在太阳熄灭这一事件。我们只能在8分钟之后才知道这一事件，这是光从太阳到达我们所花费的时间。只有到那时候，地球上的事件才在太阳熄灭这一事件的将来光锥之内。类似地，我们也不知道这一时刻发生在宇宙中更远处的事：我们看到的从很远星系来的光是在几百万年之前发出的，至于我们看到的最远物体，光是在大约80亿年前发出的。这样，当我们看宇宙时，我们是在看它的过去。

看不见的，不等于不存在;看见的，或许早就不存在了。

As is known to all, Pride and Prejudice which was written by a famous English female writer Jane Austen is still a classic in English literature nowadays. Jane Austen who was born and lived her whole life in England wrote six books in her life time.

Her novels all described the lifestyle and social communications of families in the countries of England as what she is familiar with. The book Pride and Prejudice is the typical one that fully expressed Jane’s view on marriage and emphasized that the benefit on economic exerts a great influence on marriage.

The characters in the novel all had their own opinions on marriage. Mrs. Bennet, for instance, has only one aim-that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters.

As for Elizabeth, who is the second daughter in the Bennet family said that only deep love would persuade her to marry which was why she would probably end up an old maid. Lydia and Charlotte, however, were two extremes. The former just married for sex, while the latter married for a comfortable home and protection.

There are just so many different characters that were all formed under the society of England in 18’s century. Then, there was filled with unfairness between men and women. Just as what Jane Austen said,”It is a truth universally knowledge, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. ”

The first time I saw the title of the film, the Joy Luck Club, I thought that it would be a film filed with joy, luck and happiness. However, out of my expectation, in the film, I saw many unpleasant thingsconflicts, hardship, disappointment, sorrow, hurt, torture etc. Of course there were some moving parts, and fortunately, it was a happy ending. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. It made me have a penetrating thinking.

The Joy Luck Club tells about the conflicts between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters and their struggling to understand each other. The film shows us these topics: the misunderstanding of love between the mothers and the daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity. Now I am going to show you my understanding of them, emphasizing on the first topic.

In many cases, we and those we love are easy to hurt each other because of the misunderstanding of love, the conflicts in generations and culture background, or unconsciousness.

Take Jingmei and her mother Suyuan as an example. When Suyuan demands the little Jingmei to play piano, Jingmei shouts to her mother, You can’t make me! Even Jingmei cried that she wish she isn’t Suyuan’s daughter and Suyuan isn’t her mother, and that she wishes she were the dead like the babies Suyuan abandoned in China. The sad expression on Suyuan’s face indicates that she is hurt deeply by her daughter’s innocent words.

This reminds me of my similar experience. Once I hurt my mother as Jingmei did. I didn’t mean to hurt her, but those wounding words just slip out of my mouth unconsciously. Often, we hate that why our parents don’t know my feelings, why they like to make us be something and totally unaware that what their children are. While the parents don’t know why all their sacrifices to the children can’t be paid off, even incite hatred. Actually, this is the generation gap that causes the misunderstanding. We don’t know the hardship our parents underwent before. They can’t understand what we are thinking. So misunderstandings appear.

Maybe as a child, Jingmei cannot comprehend what her remarks mean to Suyuan, and just want to show her grudge. But another main reason is the different backgrounds of Suyuan and Jingmei bare. Chinese parents always like to put all their hopes on the next generation for they are the generation full with hardship and pain. All they do just want the children to be better, but they ignore that whether their children can accept or not, not along a child born in America, influenced by the American’s individual freedom and knowing little about Chinese culture. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding of the mother and the daughter.

The other example is Waverly and her mother Lindo. Waverly tries her best to please Lindo in everything. Whether her mother approves or not becomes the master of all her choice. Even Waverly marries a Chinese man because Lindo likes Chinese, while she doesn’t love. Waverly doesn’t understand why Lindo disapprove or criticize whatever she has done. On the other side, Lindo thinks that her daughter is ashamed of her, which is her continual internal injury after Waverly’s winning that chess contest, when Waverly shouted to Lindo if Lindo wanted to show off, won the chest by herself. Every time, Lindo’s disagreement with or indifference to Waverly directly results from the thought that Waverly feels it shameful to be her daughter. Both of them deeply love each other, but in the meantime, they hostile and hurt one another. This is the way them get along with each other. Fortunately, they clear up their misunderstandings and discover themselves by communicating.

I am deeply moved by this scene:

Waverly Jong says to Lindo, sobbing,, You don"t know, you don"t know the power you have over me. One word from you, one look, and I"m four years old again, crying myself to sleep, because nothing I do can ever, ever please you. And after a short period of silence, Lindo smiles to Waverly with tears in her eyes, Now, you make me happy. Then they laugh heartily, teary-eyed with happiness.

Seeing the old Lindo bursts out laughing, like a child, and Waverly laughs joyfully, I sincerely feel delighted for them. Love needs communicating, understanding, and tolerance, which is what I learn from them.

Along with above mentioned, the struggle for the women to fight for equity is also brought to the surface. For instance, Ying-ying encourages her daughter Lena to escape an unhappy marriage, not repeating the same mistakes she made in her first marriage. And An-mei tells her daughter Rose to learn to shout at the unfair fate, and express her own will because Rose has lost herself in her marriage. These two cases reveal that the women begin to release themselves from the restrains of being oppressed by the men and the old-fashioned thoughts as well as some Chinese traditional characters. Eventually, the women find their true value and win their own happiness.

View from the whole film, the title, the Joy Luck Club may just be the old generation’s hope of better life for the next generation. On the whole, this is a movie made specifically for women. It is worth our appreciation.
