The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

中国的长城

中国的万里长城被称为“万里长城”。事实上，它有6000多公里长。它蜿蜒地从西向东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过山谷，直到最后到达大海。它是世界奇观之一。

长城有二十多个世纪的历史。它的第一部分是在春秋时期建造的。战国时期，有更多的城墙被用来保卫不同王国的边界。正是在秦朝，秦国把帝夫的发福部分统一为一个帝国。为了把敌人赶出他的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连在一起。于是，长城诞生了。

长城的宽度足以让五匹马或十个人并排走。沿着墙的是瞭望塔，士兵们常常在那里守望。当敌人到来时，在塔上点燃了火作为警告。

在古代没有任何现代机器的情况下，很难建造这样一堵墙。所有的工作都是手工完成的。成千上万的人死了，被埋在他们建造的城墙下。长城不仅是由石头和泥土建成的，而且是几百万人的血肉所组成的。

今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自世界各地的人都有兴趣。他们中的许多人都知道中国著名的谚语:“没有到达长城的人不是真正的人。”

I am a third year master major in automation at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, P. R. China. With tremendous interest in Industrial Engineering, I am writing to apply for acceptance into your Ph.D. graduate program.

Education background

In 1995, I entered the Nanjing University of Science & Technology (NUST) -- widely considered one of the China’s best engineering schools. During the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department. I was granted First Class Prize every semester, and my overall GPA(89.5/100) ranked No.1 among 113 students. In 1999, I got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test. I selected the Shanghai Jiao Tong University to continue my study for its best reputation on Combinatorial Optimization and Network Scheduling where my research interest lies.

At the period of my graduate study, my overall GPA(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5% in the department. In the second semester, I became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only. This year, I won the Acer Scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university. Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of Excellent Graduation Thesis.

Research experience and academic activity

When a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiast and began to narrow down my interest for my future research. In 1997, I participated in simulation tool development for the scheduling system in Prof. Wang’s lab. With the tool of OpenGL and Matlab, I designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. It is now widely used by different research groups in NUST. In 1998, I assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewage treatment plant. This was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.

In 1999, I joined the distinguished Professor Yu-Geng Xis research group aiming at Network flow problem solving and Heuristic algorithm research. Soon I was engaged in the FuDan Gene Database Design. My duty was to pick up the useful information among different kinds of gene matching format. Through the comparison and analysis for many heuristic algorithms, I introduced an improved evolutionary algorithm -- Multi-population Genetic Algorithm. By dividing a whole population into several sub-populations, this improved algorithm can effectively prevent GA from local convergence and promote various evolutionary orientations. It proved more efficiently than SGA in experiments, too. In the second semester, I joined the workshop-scheduling research in Shanghai Heavy Duty Tyre plant. The scheduling was designed for the rubber-making process that covered not only discrete but also continuous circumstances. To make a balance point between optimization quality and time cost, I proposed a Dynamic Layered Scheduling method based on hybrid Petri Nets. The practical application showed that the average makespan was shortened by a large scale. I also publicized two papers in core journals with this idea. Recently, I am doing research in the Composite Predict of the Electrical Power system assisted with the technology of Data Mining for Bao Steel. I try to combine the Decision Tree with Receding Optimization to provide a new solution for the Composite Predictive Problem. This project is now under construction.

Shanxi Province got its name due to its location to the west of Taihang Mountain.Shanxi neighbored on Hebei,Henan,Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia & Autonomous Region.It is located to the east of the Yellow River,and is also known as Hedong.Shanxi belonged to Jin State in Spring and Autumn Period,so it is abbreviated in Jin.Shanxi occupies an area of 156,000 square kilometers (about 60,000 square miles) and has a population of over 32 million,including its minority ethnic population.Its capital is Taiyuan City.

When to go

Being at a high altitude,Shanxi Province has a cold and dry climate and has an annual rainfall of between 400-600 millimeters.The province is also frequently plagued by sandstorms,especially in the spring,so it is often useful to bring along both sunglasses and a hat when visiting.Generally speaking,the provinces climate is the best between May and October.

History

Shanxi is one of the birth places of Chinese civilizations with a long history and traditional culture.As early as one hundred million years ago,the ancestors of the Chinese lived and propagated in this region.Legend tells us that the Yellow Emperor,founder of the Chinese nation,once lived in Shanxi for a certain period.Today,many Neolithic sites from that period can still be seen dotted across the vast expanse of the province.

What to see

Shanxi is endowed with an abundance of cultural sites from its long history.Most of the ancient structures were built before the Liao and Song Dynasties.So it is the reason why Shanxi is often called the Chinese Ancient Architecture Museum.The more obvious of these include:the Buddhist wonder of the Yungang Grottoes in Datong City,the ancient city of Pingyao which was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO in 1997,the oldest and tallest ancient wooden pagoda in China,the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian County and the remote Shuanglin and Jinci Temples,which are well worth the long journeys for the visitors.

Of course,there are a number of natural magnificent and beautiful places that can also be seen in Shanxi.The most famous of them include Wutai Mountain with the longest and most prestigious history in the four most well-known Buddhist holy lands of China,the whistling rage of the Yellow Rivers Kettle Spout waterfalls (Hukou Waterfalls) and one of the Five Sacred Mountains in China - Mt Hengshan.

清明节是二十四个节气中的其中一个，又叫“寒食”节，有扫墓和吃艾饺的习俗。

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”今年的清明节阴雨绵绵，似乎又多了一丝肃穆的气氛。这天，我们全家带着祭品上山扫墓。山脚下，前来扫墓的车辆排成长龙，挨挨挤挤，行进速度缓慢，还有交警临时指挥。

我们先来到奶奶的墓前，拿出祭品放在墓碑前方，虔诚地寄托对奶奶的哀思。突然，“嘭??啪!嘭??啪!”的鞭炮声传入耳畔。我循声望去，原来是有一些人不顾“文明扫墓，禁燃鞭炮”的倡议，在墓前擅自燃放鞭炮。尽管今天阴雨绵绵，但燃放香烛和鞭炮的火灾隐患仍不容小觑。

我陷入了沉思中……

忽然，想起老师在课上说过的“网上扫墓”。对啊，老师曾提起过“网上扫墓”既可以缓解交通压力，倡导绿色文明祭祀，同时也可以方便网友清明期间足不出户祭扫先人，可谓“一举三得”。

当天，我就和爸爸约定明年的清明节我们就在网上祭奠奶奶。今后，我们也会动员身边的人响应这个绿色的号召，加入到网上扫墓的行列中来。

My name is Wang and Wei Wei. I am studying in class six (seven) of twenty-three schools in Datong city of Shanxi province. My black hair, a pair of big eyes and bright, pretty nose and small. This is quite satisfactory, but I seem to lack a mans masculinity, wood has become a boat, you have to do.

I love reading, who makes the book the grain and pillar of the human spirit? It is still the ladder of human progress. I often swim in the sea of books, they are like a magical elf, quietly impart knowledge to me. I learn a lot of things in a middle school, it can be said that this is the love of reading the gain! I remember one time, I started reading from the morning, and when I slowed my book from the book, I had five p.m. and I thought I had just seen it for a while.

My study is also the top class in my class. The three giants of Chinese, math and English often give me a light green light. Of course, there is also a time of red light, even when there are Ever-victorious general, failed to do!

......

Every man has his faults. After all, I still have a shortcoming.

I often absent-minded, not forget this, is to forget that. In grade four or five, it is common to forget to bring back the homework book at night. Oh! This is a difficult problem. Yesterday, I was reminding myself that I didnt need to make up lessons tomorrow morning, but I just forgot that when I walked half way, I could hardly remember it. What else could I do to go home?

The second disadvantage is that I do not like to clean up my room. My books can be seen everywhere: on the study table, on the bed, in the bookcase... Well, its everywhere, anyway. If you want to find something smaller here, it will take at least ten minutes.

The third disadvantage is that there is some carelessness in learning, often not to forget the decimal point, that is, to forget the name of the unit. This is my natural enemy, too.

Hello everyone！ My name is * * *, from Jiangsu * *. Very pleased to enter the academic atmosphere of the * * * * college. After all, for every student, public undergraduate is a dream that is worth working through. Today, it is becoming the youth of the post, dream of the stage, the struggle of the blue sky.

For this was rooted in the heart of the dream, we work hard, we fought in the busy high school life, we only know must strive to finish each paper, do well every quality inspection, in each examination room are outstanding. We dont even have time to ask ourselves if its going to be hard work.

Today, I finally arrived at * * * and came to the beautiful campus of the university. Actually, in March of this year, I stepped into this city with a long history for 4 times. However, the legend of the picturesque scenic spots: Dr. Sun Yat-sens Mausoleum, Mochou Lake, the Qinhuai River, Confucius temple, I never want to see. Those famous snacks, I did not want to have a try. I dont want to go shopping in those busy commercial centers in Xinjiekou.

Why? Because I am very clear, I came to * * *, the purpose is to participate in the art of radio and television director of the examination. I remember when I gave myself a chance to choose more, and in the confused eyes of my teachers and classmates, I often played the violin on my back, and took the south train at 4 in the morning.

What kind of day is that? While at the same time to course review, while also practicing the violin concerto butterfly, while reciting the historical geography textbooks, while also have time to read reviews, stories, practice commentary, prepared speech. Even with some basic drawings, I dare not relax. You may know: at Nanjing Arts Institute was next to a park, I took the examination room to see from the south, first, look at the list, and then to go to the provincial exam retest, located south Normal University, I dont know how many times through to a total of 8 times, this park? Or maybe the 10 time? But even today, I dont know what the name of that park is

When the Nanjing Arts Institute professional examination scores down, the provinces fifth results did not bring me joy. I am still in learning, in practice, a tiny bit are not slack. The teacher said, "you have got a good result in the cultural class. Why do you want to do art?" Students say: your violin level already by the China Conservatory of Music grade 8 examination, why practicing until late at night? I dont know how to answer. I just have to try and even try my best. In order to dream, in order to be able to enter the University hall.

Finally, my dream came true. I love art, but I love Chinese language and literature more. Although I gave up art, but art has shed sweat and no waste, because art is able to help us better understand the literature, literature and art combined with each other, a beautiful flower, bear the fruit of happiness.

I sincerely hope that with the help of teachers and students, I can bring my special skills in art field into full play in Chinese language and literature. We can have the opportunity to contribute to our professional development and the development of our school.

Thank you all!

Sakura is the Japanese name for ornamental cherry trees, Prunus serrulata, and their blossoms. Cherry fruit (known as sakuranbo) come from a different species of tree.

Sakura, a well-known and ubiquitous symbol of Japan, are represented on all manner of consumer goods, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art. There is at least one popular folk song, originally meant for the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), titled "Sakura", as well as a number of pop songs. "Sakura" is also a common Japanese female name.

Sakura is indigenous to the Himalayas and east Asia. Some trees can be found in China and Korea but the largest number and variety of sakura, more than 305 species, can be seen in Japan. Many of them were artificially hybridized or grafted by the Japanese many centuries ago.

"On the other hand, in China, cherry blossom is the symbol of feminine dominance, female beauty and sexuality. Additionally, the cherry blossom is the Chinese symbol of feminine principle and it also symbolizes love in the language of herbs. Interestingly, cherry blossom is the flower of the April in China, whereas in Japan, it is wisteria." Spring flowers of Japan

Japans most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom. The variety takes its name from the village of Somei (now part of Toshima in Tokyo). It was developed in the mid- to late-19th century at the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji period. The Somei Yoshino is so widely associated with cherry blossoms that jidaigeki and other works of fiction often depict the variety in the Edo period or earlier; such depictions are anachronisms.

Other categories include yamazakura, yaezakura, and shidarezakura. The yaezakura have large flowers, thick with rich pink petals. The shidarezakura, or weeping cherry, has branches that fall like those of a weeping willow, bearing cascades of pink flowers.

Annually, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and general public track the sakura zensen, or Cherry-Blossom Front. Nightly forecasts follow the weather segment of news programs. The blossoming begins in Okinawa in January, and typically reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April. Then it proceeds north, arriving in Hokkaidō a few weeks later. Japanese pay close attention to these forecasts. They will go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago. It is witten in Nihon Shoki that the Hanami festival were already held in the 3rd century.

Most Japanese schools and public buildings have sakura trees outside of them. Since the fiscal and school year both begin in April, in many parts of Honshū, the first day of work or school will coincide with the cherry blossom season.
