古雅典剧作家 米南德

1.English around the world 。

With the developing of economic and technology,English is more and more important,especially in communication. 。

As everybody known,English is playing the most important role in the economic gobalization.Any country must be open to others in order to make more interests,and at that time,English is the necessity to communicate as a basic tool. 。

Nowadays,technological advances are improving day by day,and we must have the ability to know the new things,so English is helpful to academic exchanges,which can enhance our competitiveness . 。

At present,more and more people are learning English as the second language,and English is the most popular language all over the world ,which prove its importance in daily life around the world. 。

2.Going places 。

I feel it a great honour to be your tour guide today. First, on behalf of my company, I warmly welcome all my distinguished guests from Australia to Shanghai and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. 。

Located on the Huangpu River, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is now the symbol of the city. Built in 1994 and opened to the public in 1995, it is now the highest building in Shanghai and the third highest in Asia. The Tower has a quite unique structure and consists of 3 large and 5 small balls. Inside the balls, you can have a bird's eye view of the city. 。

Our schedule for the trip to the TV Tower is as follows: you have an hour form 9:30-10:30am to experience the history of Shanghai on the first floor. Then we'll assemble in the middle of the hall at 10:30 and have another hour to overlook the beautiful city sceneries in the middle ball. Finally please do remember to go to the top ball at 11:30 to enjoy your lunch. 。

Thanks for listening. Have a good time! 。

3.Unforgettable experiences 。

How time flies！I’m fifteen years now.During the long time，there was one thing that I will never forget. 。

The Spring Festival is our traditional festival.During the Spring Festival，people usually visit their friends and relatives.When I was 9 years old，my family took the bus to my grandparents’ to say “Happy New Year” to them. 。

In the bus，I had a good seat.At 7：30，the bus came to a village.A woman got on with a baby in her arms.At that time，there was no seat.But she must look after her baby carefully.She had to stand next to me.I wanted to stand up and let her sit down，but I was afraid of hearing the other people say“That girl want to be praised.”I looked around.Most people were looking out of the windows and some were sleeping.Suddenly，a little boy behind me，stood up and made room for the woman.She said “Thank you very much” with a big smile.The boy smiled，too.When I told my cousin about it after that，he said “The child is the father of a man.” I’m very ashamed.Why could’t I do the same thing as the little boy did？

From that I learn that we should do our best to help people who need help.If everyone makes a contribution to helping others，the world will become much more beautiful！

4.The silver screen 。

IMAGINE waking up alone in the city you live in. There is no one there to help you. You are the last survivor after a terrible virus strikes mankind, and all you have is your dog for company.。

This is exactly what happens to Will Smith, star of I Am Legend, the latest addition to one of the most successful movie genres of all time, the disaster movie.。

The film plays on humanity's eternal fear that the end of civilization lies just around the corner.。

This idea has preoccupied the human mind since records began. It features in the world's oldest literature, from the Bible's apocalypse to the flood in The Epic of Gilgamesh.。

Many early films featured small-scale disasters, such as the 1901 silent film Fire, simply about a blaze in a house. But the movie genre really came into its own during the Cold War.。

The onset of the Atomic Age inspired a real fear in the American public that the same thing could happen to them at the hands of Russia.。

This bred a fear of the other, the different and the un-American, a fear that movie producers happily played upon at the box office. The alien invasion theme in movies like Invaders from Mars, in which aliens land in a field and begin to take over the minds of people, had a parallel in reality.。

Digital graphics and special effects gave the genre a new lease of life in the 1990s. Independence Day, Will Smith's first disaster film, was hugely successful in cinemas, even though it simply reworked a familiar alien invasion plot.。

Yet the films also reflect ed a new fear: technophobia. This manifested itself in many ways, from industrial workers losing their jobs due to production line automation, through to the idea that machines could one day become our masters. The film that dramatizes these fears is Terminator 2: Judgment Day.。

It should by now be easy to spot the key elements in disaster cinema. Disaster movies nearly always have some connection with real world events. The first climate change disaster movie, The Day After Tomorrow, which features a new ice age and a race to escape to a warmer place, is a perfect example of this.。

They also provide Hollywood with an excuse to showcase the latest special effects technology. It should come as no surprise that I Am Legend features not only a killer virus, but also a group of computer generated, bloodthirsty monsters to keep viewers entertained.。

He may be the last man on Earth, but Will Smith is not alone. The disaster movie will continue, unless of course, the real end of the world comes first.。

5.Good manners 。

China Dining Custom 。

Table Manners

The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality. 。

And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there. 。

Eating No-no's 。

Don't stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table! 。

Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table. 。

Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's home,it is like insulting the cook. 。

Drinking

Gan Bei! (Cheers! “Gan Bei” literally means “dry [the] glass”) Besides beer, the official Chinese alcoholic beverage is Bai Jiu,high-proof Chinese liquor made from assorted grains. There are varying degrees of Bai Jiu. The Beijing favorite is called Er Guo Tou, which is a whopping 56% alcohol. More expensive are Maotai and Wuliangye. 。

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。

Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes. 。

The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all. 。

Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate. 。

People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat! 。

6.Cultural relics 。

武侯祠

Wuhou Shrine

Wuhou might be translated as "minister or war".That was the title given to ZhugeLiang, a famous military strategist of the tree Kingdoms period (AD220-280) immortalised in one of the classics of Chinese literature, the tale of the Three Kingdoms.the shrine situated in the southern suburb of Chengdu.the Romance of the Three Kingdoms carries out the stories about ZhugeLiang. Reading these stories even in English translation is a great enjoyment. 。

7.Sports

Students in our school have one thing in common- an interest in sports. According to their different intentions in taking part in sports, they fall into three groups.。

Many students go to the playground when they tired after a few hours of study, These students put much more tress on their study efficiency than the fun of sports, They just want to go back to their classrooms from the playground with a clearer and quicker mind. Thus they don't actually care whether they can enjoy themselves on theplayground. Most of them choose long distance running, the kind of exercise which few real sports enthusiasts like. So this group of students can be well labeled as study-- oriented participation.。

Students that make up the second group are real sports lovers. Sometimes they even put aside their studies for a match. They take part in the sport that interests them most, not caring whether it is most beneficial to their health. They may be called fun-oriented sports participants.。

The third group want beauty from sports. Boys want to become strong; girls want to be slim and graceful. Those who consider sports the only way of reducing weight also belong to this group. They are very careful in choosing the kind of exercise they do, and are afraid that certain sports may ruin their figures. Horizontal bars and parallel bars are the boy's choice, and the hula hoop is now the girls' favorite. The appropriate name for this group may be beauty - oriented sports participants.。

No matter which group we belong to, we all benefit from sports. If you look around the campus, you will find that bookworms have disappeared, and, instead, there are healthy, strong, clever, modernized students everywhere.。

8.Technology

It’s too early to know the full impact of the economic meltdown on executive compensation at private technology and life sciences companies. Alas, 2008—or at least the first three fiscal quarters of it—could be viewed next year as the end of the good old days of executive compensation. 。

Still, for those of you who want to know how much your executive peers’ at said private tech and life sciences companies were compensated this year (or at least the pre-meltdown part of the year), your cup runneth over with the recently completed 2008 Compensation and Entrepreneurship Report in Life Sciences and a similarly titled report in information technology. The annual studies—conducted by the J. Robert Scott executive search agency, law firm WilmerHale, Ernst & Young, and academics at Harvard Business School [disclosure: the first two are Xconomy underwriters]—showed a continued trend that Bob noted last year of steady growth in executive compensation across the board in both life sciences (which in this post means medical devices too) and technology. And an interesting feature of the technology compensation study is the inclusion of clean technology companies for the first time. (Read on to see how their pay compared with executives in other segments of the tech industry. A hint: not great.) 。

Xconomy isn’t big on covering studies, because many lack the depth to draw serious conclusions, but these compensation studies appear to be quite thorough. The reports are based on compensation data from multiple private companies (342 from tech and 189 from life sciences), with a wide swath of executives (1,600 executives with 10 different job titles on the tech side, and 1,000 executives with 13 job classifications in life sciences). And all U.S. regions are accounted for—so our communities of readers in Boston, San Diego, and Seattle can see where they stack up next to each other (again, see our chart of the results on the next page). Also, the figures were gathered from April to June 2008. 。

I don’t want to touch the argument on whether electrical engineering courses are more difficult than microbiology, but the studies show that life sciences CEOs typically earn more than their tech counterparts, with average 2008 base salaries of $300,000 for top life sciences executives, up 6.7 percent from $281,000 in 2007, and $236K for the tech chief executives, a 4.2-percent increase from $227K last year. Though not explicit in these reports, perhaps it should be noted that the smaller size of the life sciences industry compared with IT, and the high degree of scientific/technological variation among life sciences firms, could make this compensation gap between the two camps a matter of supply and demand. I’m just speculating, though.。
