国内在校大学生如何申请留学美国 美国大学在招收国际学生时的条件比较高,同时对于不同年级的大学生来说,申请美国留学的要求也各不相同,以下供读者参考。 大一学生需要重读 对于大一在读的学生来说,中国学生学习的大多是马克思主义哲学、英语等基础课程,由于教育体制的不同,美国大学一般不承认这些学分,为此如果想要转入美国高校学习,就要做好从大一开始重读的准备。 大二学生选好专业 而对于大二在读的学生来说,有些课程数学部分美国高校给予承认,为此学生申请时最好选择原先就读的专业相吻合或接近的,重修的课程就会少一些,学起来也相对轻松一些。而在转学分的过程中,学生也该注意由于中美对专业课程教育的要求和侧重点不同,专业性不是很强的课程转学分会相对容易一些,但是你必须提供详细的课程描述,还要参考你的课程分数;但像建筑、生物、工程学、心理学等这些专业性强的学分就比较难转了。同时注意,转了学分后申请美国大学的奖学金几率也会小一些。 高年级生最好念硕士 国内大三或大四在读学生,一般不建议通过转学分的方式去美国念本科,最好是等念完本科以后再出国读硕士。因为签证时签证官会质疑你的留学目的和动机,在大多数签证官看来,在中国读完本科再申请美国的硕士课程比较适合这个阶段学生的发展。 研究生选专业时做好就业准备 一般在美国念完硕士找到相应的工作,就可以申请1年或以上不等的工作签证,工作一定年限后就可以申请永久居留或者移民,为此想毕业后留在美国工作或生活的学生在申请专业之初就可以选择护理、数学、电子工程和电机等一些有利于居留或移民的专业。
Living life over 如果有来生 我会抓住每一秒 如果有来生,我会少说,多听;我会请朋友来家里吃饭,即使把地毯弄脏;如果有来生,我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛,不让它在尘封中融化;我会与孩子们坐在草地上,不去担心草地上的污渍……如果有来生,我会说更多的“我爱你”……“对不起”……然而,最重要的是,如果有来生,我会抓住每一秒……看人生,读人生……体验人生……再也不放手。 If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life. I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time. There would have been more "I love yous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.

U.S. informed of its citizen being held in DPRK WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has informed the United States that a second American has been held in its hand, U.S. State Department said on Friday. The DPRK sent a confirmation through its representative at the United Nations in New York, but provided no details on the detainee's identification, State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters. "That is obviously why we have already taken steps working through our protecting power, the Swedes, to seek access so we can determine who it is and the circumstances," said Crowley. The official Korean Central News Agency said Thursday that an American was detained on Monday for illegally entering the country across the DPRK-China border, the second in almost a month that Robert Park, a human rights activist, was detained in the country for the same reason. The detention of U.S. citizens came months after two American female journalists, who had been arrested in March for illegally entry and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor, were released by the DPRK. After former president Bill Clinton paid a 20-hour private visit to Pyongyang and a high-profile meeting with the country's top leader Kim Jong Il, the two journalists were announced free by Pyongyang. The dramatic detention-release event was widely viewed as a tactic held by Pyongyang to force the Obama administration to kick off the direct talks, in order to significantly improve relations with the United States, including reaching a permanent peace treaty and normalizing relations.

由于底特律的教训 美国签证越来越严 从09年12月31日开始,美国国务院指示世界各地的美国大使馆实施一项新规定----将可疑人员信息资料通过特殊电报发送到华盛顿时,需要包括此人是否有美国签证的信息。 美国国务院的一位官员告诉记者,目前国务院的工作指南中没有要求包括签证信息在内的"签证不法分子电报"(Visas VIPER cables)。这一新规定是因为尼日利亚23岁的奥马尔·法鲁克·阿布杜马塔拉布(Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab)12月25日企图炸毁飞抵底特律的飞机未遂后,发现他持有为期两年多次入境签证,这一信息没有通过签证电报传送给国务院。 阿布杜马塔拉布的父亲向美国驻尼日利亚大使馆表示,担心阿布杜马塔拉布成为袭击者,该信息传递给国务院的时候没有明确提及阿布杜马塔拉布已取得前往美国的签证。国务院将阿布杜马塔拉布的生物指征和其父亲的忧虑传给了在华盛顿全美反恐中心(National Counterterrorism Center, NCTC),但反恐中心没有与可能会阻止这场恐怖袭击的其它信息连系起来。尽管其他政府部门如果想寻找国务院的数据库可以查阅有关资料,但他们没有被要求这样做。 美国国务卿希拉里正与国务院和外交部门的官员对此次安全失误所引出的相关问题进行审查。国务院提出的解决方法包括:从现在起国务院所有的任何信息包括在其职权范围内,不依靠反恐中心的人进入数据库翻查信息。不过,有官员承认过多的信息也可能构成适得其反的风险。国务院也正在考虑通知航空公司乘客签证被吊销的可能性。目前,航空公司和国务院之间没有客运记录和关于取消签证的电子连接。国务院雇员不得不亲自把信息直接通知航空公司。 要求各部门须在12月31日向白宫提交其加强安全的建议,将在周末整理资料,等奥巴马当总统休假回来向其汇报。
The Clever Little Tailor Once upon a time there was a princess who was ever so proud: if any man came to woo her she would set him a riddle, and if he couldn't guess it he was laughed to scorn and sent packing. She also had it made known that whoever did guess the answer to her riddle should marry her, no matter who he might be. And indeed, in the end it so happened that three tailors were making the attempt at the same time. The two eldest reckoned that as they had already successfully sewn many a delicate stitch, they could hardly go wrong and were bound to succeed here as well; the third was a feckless, giddy young fellow who didn't even know his trade properly but thought he was bound to have luck in this case, for if not, then what luck would he ever have in any other case. The two others said to him: "You'd better just stay at home, you with your feather-brain won't get far." But the young tailor wouldn't be put off, saying that he had set his heart on this enterprise and would manage all right; and off he went, sauntering along as if the whole world belonged to him. So all three of them appeared before the princess and asked her to put her riddle to them: she would find, they said, that she had met her match this time, because their wits were so sharp that you could thread a needle with them. So the princess said: "I have two kinds of hair on my head, what colours are they?" "That's easy," said the first, "I think they're black and white, like the cloth they call pepper and salt. "The princess said: "You've guessed wrong; let the second of you answer." So the second said: "If it's not black and white, then it's brown and red like my respected father's frock-coat." "Wrong again," said the princess. "Let the third of you answer, I can see he knows it for sure." So the young tailor stepped forward boldly and said: "The princess has silver and gold hair on her head, and those are the two colours." When the princess heard that, she turned pale and nearly fainted away in alarm, for the young tailor had guessed right, and she had been convinced that no one in the world would be able to do so. When she had recovered herself she said: "This still doesn't give you the right to marry me, there's something else you must do first. Down in the stable there's a bear, and you must spend the night with him. If you're still alive when I get up tomorrow morning, then you shall marry me." But she thought that she would get rid of the young tailor in this way, because no one had ever got into this bear's clutches and lived to tell the tale. But the young tailor wasn't to be daunted. "Nothing venture, nothing win," he commented cheerfully. So that evening our young friend was taken down to the bear's den. And sure enough, the bear at once advanced on the little fellow, meaning to welcome him with a good swipe of his paw. "Not so fast, not so fast," said the young tailor, "I'll soon take the steam out of you." And in leisurely manner, as if he were quite unconcerned, he took some walnuts out of his pocket, cracked them open with his teeth and ate the kernels. When the bear saw this, his appetite was whetted and he wanted some nuts as well. The young tailor put his hand in his pocket and held out some to him: these, however, weren't nuts but pebbles. The bear stuck them in his mouth, but couldn't crack a single one of them, bite as he might. Goodness me, what a booby I am, thought the bear, I can't even crack nuts. And he said to the young tailor: "Hey, crack these nuts for me!" "There now, what a fellow you are!" said the tailor. "A big muzzle like that and you can't even crack a little nut!" And he took the stones, but nimbly put a nut into his mouth instead, and crack! He bit open the shell. "I must try that again," said the bear. "To look at you doing it, you'd think I'd find it easy." So the young tailor gave him another lot of pebbles, and the bear worked away at them, biting for dear life. But as you may imagine, they were more than he could crack. After this, the young tailor pulled out a fiddle from under his coat and began playing a tune on it. When the bear heard the music, he couldn't help himself and began to dance, and when he'd danced for a little he found himself enjoying it so much that he said to the tailor. "Tell me, is it difficult to play the fiddle?" "It's child's play: look, my left hand fingers the strings, my right hand scrapes away at them with the bow, and out comes a merry noise, tralala." "Then I could dance whenever I liked. What do you say to that? Will you give me lessons?" "I'll be delighted to," said the tailor, "If you
假如拥有三天光明 假如拥有三天光明      Helen Keller/海伦.凯勒      All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we      were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.      Such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.What events, what experiences,what What associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?      Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry,” most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.      In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.      Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.      The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, as not being conscious of health until we are ill.      I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
纽约华尔街最青睐什么专业毕业生 Wall Street has undergone a radical face lift this year, but finance industry recruiters are expected to stick to roughly the same formula when looking to fill entry-level positions with college graduates in the future. 华尔街如今已经彻底改头换面了。不过,金融业招聘人士在寻找大学毕业生填补初级职位空缺的时候,预计仍将坚持与以往大致相同的甄选原则。 Wealth management, investment banking and research are expected to see a hiring surge in the coming years, according to Joseph Logan, founder and managing director of Pinnacle Group International, a New York executive recruiting firm specializing in the financial services industry. Pinnacle Group International的创始人兼董事总经理约瑟夫•洛根(Joseph Logan)表示,财富管理、投资银行和研究领域有望在未来几年掀起招聘热潮。Pinnacle Group International是纽约一家专业服务于金融服务业的高管猎头公司。 'A strong background in accounting plus financial [knowledge in] evaluation is the key-and being well-rounded will help a lot,' says David Smith, an associate professor at the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia who specializes in corporate finance and banking. Strong social skills and the ability to think creatively are important to round out more technical and quantitative talents. “会计和财务估值方面的过硬背景是应聘成功的关键,知识全面也会大有帮助,”弗吉尼亚大学(University of Virginia)麦金太尔商学院(McIntire School of Commerce)专门从事企业财务和银行业研究的副教授史密斯(David Smith)表示。出色的社交技能和创新思维能力对于那些偏重技术性和数理方面的人才来说是个重要的补充。 Mr. Smith, who helps prepare students for finance job interviews, advises the students who want to head to Wall Street to eschew finance fads like the current demand in restructuring or credit derivatives which were hot two years ago and focus on becoming fluent in accounting and financial evaluation fundamentals that are applicable to any specialty. As the economy recovers more traditional financial services functions, such as mergers and acquisitions advisory will make a comeback, according to Mr. Smith . 史密斯帮助学生们为金融职位面试做准备。他向那些希望在华尔街发展的学生们建议说,要避开金融业一时的潮流,比如眼下对两年前颇为流行的重组或者信用衍生品方面的人才需求,而将目光集中在像会计和财务估值基本知识这样适用于所有金融领域的研究。随着经济的复苏,那些更为传统的金融服务业务比如并购咨询行业将重新焕发活力,史密斯表示。

宾语从句用法 用一个句子做另一个句子的宾语,将这个句子叫做宾语从句。宾语从句做介词或及物动词的宾语。现在从下列三个方面总结归纳如下:    一,引导词    A,由that 引导的陈述句性的宾语从句,在很多动词如say, think, wish , hope, see, believe, agree, expect, hear , feel等动词后。连词that只起连接作用,在从句中不做句子的成分,也无词汇意义,在口语中常被省略,但在大多数情况下还是以不省为好,特别是在笔语中。    例:I told him that he was wrong.    l在think,believe, suppose, expect等动词引起的宾语从句中,有时谓语尽管是否定意义,却不用否定形式,而将think 等动词变为否定形式。    例:I don’t think you are right. (我认为你做的不对)    l在许多带有复合宾语的句子中,that引导的宾语从句经常移到句子的后面,而用it做形式宾语。    例:We think it wrong that he told a lie to everyone (我认为他向每一个人撒谎是错误的)    B,由连词if、 whether 引导的表示“是否…”的宾语从句。Whether,if 在从句中不做句子的成分,一般情况下,whether和if 可以替换。    例:I don’t know if/whether he will come tomorrow.    The teacher asked if/whether we had finished the experiment.    l在介词后面的宾语从句中不用if引导    例:Everything depends on whether we have enough money。    l宾语从句中有or not时不用if引导.    例:I don’t know whether the movie star will come or not.    l和不定式连用作宾语时不用if引导.    例:Whether to go there or not hasn’t been decided.    C,由wh-引导的宾语从句。连接代词who,whom,whose, what, which,和连接副词when, where, why, how 等连接的宾语从句,它们在句中即有连接从句的作用,又在句中充当句子的成分。    例:Do you know which film they are talking about? (which做定语)    I don’t know where he lives. (where 做地点状语)    二,宾语从句的语序,    宾语从句从句的语序必须是陈述语序,既连接词+主语+谓语+其他成分    例:I believe that they will come soon.    He asked me whether I was a teacher.    They wanted to know what they can do for us.    二,宾语从句的时态。    宾语从句的时态受主句的限制,    既:主句是一般现在时态,从句根据实际情况而定。    主句是一般过去时态,从句用相应的过去的时态。如果从句的动作发生在主句之前,则从句要用过去完成时态。    例:    1)She says that she is a student.    She said that she was a student.    2)She says that she will fly to Japan in a week.    She said that she would fly to Japan in a week.    3)She says that she has finished her homework already.    She said that she had finished her homework already.    4)She says that she can sing a song in English.    She said that she could sing a song in English.    l如果宾语从句说的是客观真理、自然现象或事实时,这时宾语从句要用一般现在时态。    例:The teacher said that the earth goes round the sun.    He told me that Japan is an island country.    lCould you tell me…是用来征询对方的意见,语气委婉,并不表示过去。    例:Could you tell me when we will visit the Histury Museum?    注意事项:    u由陈述句变成宾语从句时,要注意人称的变化。    例:She said: “I have been to England before.”    She said that she had been to England before.    She asked me: “Do you like maths?”    She asked me if I liked maths.    u宾语从句与简单句的交换。    由连接代词和连接副词引导的宾语从句,如果宾语从句的主语和主句的主语是同一个人时,可以用“疑问词+不定式    ”做宾语的简单句结构。    例:I don’t know what I should do next.    I con’t know what to do next.    He didn’t know where he would live.    He didn’t know where to live.
2010年美国最佳100所高中榜单 美国最佳高中排名新鲜出炉! 美国新闻(U.S. News)》连续第三年公布最佳高中排名。 位于弗吉尼亚州,亚历山大的托马斯•杰斐逊克科学与技术高中(Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology)位列《美国新闻和世界报道》的全美最佳高中排名之首。这个高中能够给学生提供非常多的挑战,提供的课程中包括DNA科学,神经学,还有量子物理学。但是该校的学生和教职员工似乎还觉得这些课程还不够,所以他们决定要解决另外一个很大的难题:教育的社会责任是什么?在学校的课程学习中,学生会通过自己设计的项目来探索社会责任的问题,他们设计的项目可能是对身在上海的脑瘫学生提供学习用品,也可能会是劝说自己的同班同学使用手绢,减少纸巾的浪费。这种项目显示了托马斯•杰斐逊克科学与技术高中鼓励学生发展多方面的兴趣的办学理念。 托马斯•杰斐逊克科学与技术高中的校长Evan Glazer说:“没有一个学生的激情是倾注于完全相同的方面的。但是只要有激情,总是被接受和欢迎的。” 这种热情使托马斯•杰斐逊克科学与技术高中位居美国最佳高中榜首,这也是《美国新闻》这项评选以来,该校连续三次荣登榜首。《美国新闻》运用了三个步骤来分析各所高中:首先,学校时怎样对所有的学生施行教育的,然后是每所学校中的少数族裔和贫困学生,最后是他们的即将上大学的学生,考量的基础是学生在全国范围的测试,AP 测试和国际学士学位测试成绩。 在《美国新闻》考量的21,786所公立高中中,1,750所高中要比所在州的教育标语标准表现要好得多。其中,561在使学生做好学习大学程度的课程上表现优异。今年,加利福尼亚州表现最好,110所高中得到了认可,其次是纽约州(53所学校),得克萨斯州(50所),伊利诺斯州(37所),佛罗里达州(24所)和马萨诸塞州(21所)。内布拉斯加州和俄克拉何马州提供高中数据不全,不能完全参加到全国的分析排名当中。! 全美优秀公立高中所面临的一个主要的挑战就是,怎样在预算压力下还继续挑战学生。虽然联邦刺激资金已经帮助了很多学区保留了师资,避免了很多教师的下岗命运,很多学校还很难筹集到翻新,甚至是维修老建筑的费用。在名单中排名第30的,位于纳什维尔的马丁路德金磁石高中(Martin Luther King Academic Magnet High School)就设法在1930年代的来建筑中取得了很好的教学成绩,不过这所高中屋顶漏雨,餐厅太小,学生们不得不在走廊吃饭,有时候自动售货机中会跑出来老鼠。该高中的校长Shunn Turner说:“所有的纳什维尔人都应该关心这一点,我们是在如此老旧危险的教学楼中教育最优秀的,最聪明的学生 困难不能阻挡学生们考入诸如哈佛大学这样的优秀的常春藤大学的脚步。09级的马丁路德金磁石高中毕业生,最近成为了康纳尔大学的一名一年级学生,他说:“学校有非常棒的老师,同学,顾问和其他员工,没有必要担心为什么储物柜常常打不开这样的小事。”

Mother & Child Mother & Child    It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly anticipated the great day of gifts giving. 妈妈与孩子     那是1961年的圣诞节。我在俄亥俄州的一个小镇上教小学三年级。班上27个孩子都在积极参加"礼物赠送日"的活动。 A tree covered with tinsel and gaudy paper chains graced one corner. In another rested a manger scene produced from cardboard and poster paints by chubby, and sometimes grubby, hands. Someone had brought a doll and placed it on the straw in the cardboard box that served as the manger. It didn't matter that you could pull a string and hear the blue-eyed, golden-haired dolly say, "My name is Susie." "But Jesus was a boy baby!" one of the boys proclaimed. Nonetheless, Susie stayed.            教室的一角被一棵树装点得熠熠生辉,树上缀满了金银丝帛和华丽的彩纸。教室的另一角是一个涂着海报油彩由纸板制成的马槽,这出自孩子们那胖乎乎、脏兮兮的小手。有人带来了一个娃娃,把它放在纸板槽里的稻草上(假装小耶稣)。只要拉拉它身上的一条细绳,这个蓝眼睛、金发的娃娃就会说道,"我叫苏西",不过这都没有关系。一个男孩提出:"耶稣可是个小男孩呀!"不过苏西还是留了下来。    Each day the children produced some new wonder -- strings of popcorn, hand-made trinkets, and German bells made from wallpaper samples, which we hung from the ceiling. Through it all she remained aloof, watching from afar, seemingly miles away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now so suddenly withdrawn. I hoped the festivities would appeal to her. But nothing did. We made cards and gifts for mothers and dads, for sisters and brothers, for grandparents, and for each other. At home the students made the popular fried marbles and vied with one another to bring in the prettiest ones. " You put them in a hot frying pan, Teacher. And you let them get real hot, and then you watch what happens inside. But you don't fry them too long or they break."So, as my gift to them, I made each of my students a little pouch for carrying their fried marbles. And I knew they had each made something for me: bookmarks carefully cut, colored, and sometimes pasted together; cards and special drawings; liquid embroidery doilies, hand-fringed, of course.          每天孩子们都会做点儿新玩意--爆米花串成的细链子、手工做的小装饰品和墙纸样做的德国式风铃,我们把这些风铃挂在了天花板上。但自始至终,她都是孤零零地远远观望,仿佛是隔了一道几里长的障碍。我猜想着这个沉默的孩子发生了什么事,原来那个快乐的孩子怎么突然变得沉默寡言起来。我希望节日的活动能吸引她,可还是无济于事。我们制作了许多卡片和礼物,准备把它们送给爸爸妈妈、兄弟姐妹、祖父母和身边的同学。学生们在家里做了当时很流行“油炸"玻璃弹子,并且相互比着,要把最好看的拿来。"老师,把玻璃弹子放在热油锅里,让它们烧热,然后看看里面的变化。但不要炸得时间过长否则会破裂。"所以,我给每个学生做了一个装"油炸弹子"的小袋作为礼物送给他们。我知道他们每个人也都为我做了礼物:仔细剪裁、着色,或已粘集成串的书签;贺卡和特别绘制的图片;透明的镶边碗碟垫布,当然是手工编制的流苏。
奥哈拉给女儿的信 这是奥哈拉写给女儿的一封信。女儿将从中学毕业,这就意味着她将不再是小孩了。在这人生关键时刻,作为父亲,他既对女儿过去的表现表示满意,也对女儿的将来充满信心。然而,他却不忘再次重复自己对女儿立身行事的一句忠告:真诚地对待自己。这是要求女儿具有自信、自助、自律、自尊、自爱的品质。这句话显然是作者丰富的生活阅历和人生经验的总结,也是对女儿的谆谆教诲,赋予思想一种真切动人的感情力量。虽然信是写给予自己女儿的,但是这句忠告却具有普遍性的教育意义,是天下父母对子女的最真挚的希望。作者的语言温馨自然,平和亲切,看似叙述家常,却在平常中显示了令人惊叹的智慧,又让人产生一种贴心的感觉。 约翰·奥哈拉(John O' hara,1905-1970)是美国著名小说家。他生于宾夕法尼亚州的波茨维尔,中学毕业后父亲去世,就离家出走,开始独立的生活。他东奔西走,经过广泛的旅行之后,终于在纽约市当上记者,撰写文艺批评,短篇小说作品常常出现在著名杂志《纽约人》,此外还为好莱坞和百老汇改编电影和戏剧,如音乐喜剧《好友乔依》(1940年)。从第一部长篇《在萨马拉的约会》(1934)到死后出版的短篇小说集《萨马拉好人及其他小说》(1974),他的作品是20世纪20—40年代积极上进的美国社会史,以对20世纪美国生活习俗和价值的敏锐目光而著称。作为现实主义作家,他的风格是客观的,实事求是的。 John O'hara to His Daughter TLS,1 p.Mrs. Doughty Quogue, Long Island 16 September 1962, Sunday My dear: Well, here we are — but not here. You at St. Tim's, Sister in Princeton, and me in Quogue, and another brand new year is about to start for you. For me, too. I always seem to approach the autumn in the frame of mind that spring induces in most people. The excitement of new things; the new plays, the new books, new clothes, etc., etc., etc. At the same time the autumn for me is a season of a sweet melancholy that is hard to explain. I love the early evenings, the leaves burning, the lights in houses. It is the beginning of a big year for you, in many respects your biggest so far. By the time June comes around you will be 18, and graduating from school. In the past week or so I have called you “Kid” but subconsciously I have been doing that because your kid days are over, or just about. I suspect that you are going through the experience of first love, and no matter what else happens, after that experience you are never a kid again. Most of the nice things we associate with being a kid are okay — while you are still kid. But you gain more than you lose. You gain in understanding standing, in appreciation of people, in understanding and appreciation of yourself. You begin to see the wisdom in that quotation I have so often repeated to you: to thine own self be true. Every year at this time I have repeated that quotation to you, and the time is not really too far distant when you will be passing it on to your own children. It is probably the best single piece of advice I can give you, or you can give them. You have done well, and I am pleased with you, not only for what you have done, but for what you are. As Miss Finnegan said to Sister, “Wylie has the right reactions.” So good luck in your Senior Year, and always know that the old man loves you very much. Always Dad
宾语从句讲解 时态 在复合句中,尤其是宾语从句,谓语的时态常常受到主句谓语的影响,因而在使用时要注意主从句两部分的时态保持一致。一般要遵循以下原则: 1.主句为现在时态或将来时态    主句谓语动词如果是现在或将来时,从句谓语动词可用任何所需要的时态。    例句:I know you don't know what I think at all.(我知道你根本不知道我想的是什么。)          I know he didn't tell you that he would come then.(我知道他没告诉你他那时要来。)          I'll let you know whether I'll come or not directly I check my schedule.(我一核实完我的计划就告诉你我是否来。) 2.主句为过去时态    主句谓语动词如果是过去时态,从句谓语动词一般要用过去时态的某种形式。    ①从句用一般过去式或进行时表示与主句谓语动作同时发生。      例句:He asked me if I was reading the story The Old Man And The Sea when he came in.(他问我他进来时我是不是在读《老人与海》这部小说。)    ②从句用过去完成时,表示该动作发生在主语谓语动作之前。      例句:He told me that he had told Mary about the meeting already.(他告诉我他已经把有关会议的事告诉了玛丽。)    ③从句谓语用过去将来时,表示该动作发生在主句谓语动作之前。      例句:The reporter asked if the governtment would take necessary measures to put down the to-do.(记者问政府是否会采取必要的措施来镇压骚乱。)
趣味双语:教你15招轻松识骗子 Quite often a person feels the need to lie about something - if you are the person being lied to, there are a few simple tips for catching the liar out. This is a list of the top 15 tips.      有些时候,人会觉得需要撒谎--如果你是被骗的那方,下面就教你几招来揪出骗子。      Tips 1 - 5      招数:1-5      1. Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movements are toward their own body as the liar tries to take up less space.      1. 肢体语言很拘束,僵硬,手臂和手不怎么动。手、手臂和腿的移动都靠向自己的身体,因为撒谎者设法占据更少的空间。      2. A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.      2. 骗你的人通常会避免和你眼神接触。      3. Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand.      3. 手触碰自己的脸、喉咙和嘴巴。碰或抓鼻子或耳后。他们不太可能去碰自己的胸膛/心脏。      4. Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and words. Example: Someone says, “I love it!” when receiving a gift and then smiles after making that statement, rather then at the same time the statement is made.      4. 手势/表情和说话的时机不对。例如:某人在收到礼物后说:“我喜欢这个!”,之后再露出笑容,而不是在说话的同时露出微笑。      5. Gestures/expressions don't match the verbalstatement, such as frowning when saying “I love you.”      5. 手势/表情和嘴上说的不匹配,例如说:“我爱你”的时候皱着眉头。      Tips 6 - 10      招数6-10      6. Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, ) instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.      6. 当一个人撒谎时,他的面部表情会局限在嘴巴处(像高兴、欣喜、悲伤和敬畏),而不是整张脸。例如,当一个人自然微笑时,整张脸都会有反应:下巴/脸颊会动,眼睛和前额会向下等。      7. A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.      7. 一个罪犯会选择自卫,而一个无辜的人通常会选择反击。      8. A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away.      8. 撒谎者面对发问者/原告会不安,他可能会将头或身体转向一边。      9. A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc.) between themselves and you.      9. 撒谎者可能会下意识的放一样东西(书、咖啡杯等)在他们和你之间。

Love Your Mother 爱你的母亲    Love your mother          Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother. There’s no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, she may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!          Your mother will be there for you; to listen to your woes your brags your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself “Have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her ‘blues’ of working in the kitchen, her tiredness?”          Be tactful, loving and still show her duerespect, though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.      Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her.      爱你的妈妈      让我们花一点点时间,对那个被我们叫做“妈”的人表达敬意和感激之情,虽然有些人当着面说不出口。她是不可替代的。珍惜与她在一起的每一时刻吧。虽然有时候,她可能不是我们最好的朋友,可能不同意我们的想法,但她依然是你的妈妈!      你的妈妈始终陪伴你身边,听你倾诉伤心事,听你神吹海侃,听你诉说受挫的沮丧……扪心自问,“是否曾经抽出过足够的时间陪伴她,听听她讲围着灶台转的‘烦心事’,听听她讲她有多疲惫?”      即使你与她意见不一,也要委婉一些,充满爱心,对她表示出应有的尊敬。一旦她去了,剩下的就只有对过去岁月的美好回忆和无尽的遗憾。      不要以为,与你心最近,你就理所应得。爱她要甚于爱你自己。没有了她,生命将毫无意义。

Mirror,Mirror-What do I See Mirror, Mirror---What do I See?      A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.      Mirrors have a very particular function. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a physical mirror serves as the vehicle to reflection, so do all of the people in our lives.      When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden serves as a reflection. In order to see the beauty in front of us, we must be able to see the beauty inside of ourselves. When we love someone, it’s a reflection of loving ourselves. When we love someone, it’s a reflection of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I’m with that person.” That simply translates into “I’m able to love me when I love that other person.” Oftentimes, when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it’s as if we’ve known each other for a long time. That feeling can come from sharing similarities.      Just as the “mirror” or other person can be a positive reflection, it is more likely that we’ll notice it when it has a negative connotation. For example, it’s easy to remember times when we have met someone we’re not particularly crazy about. We may have some criticism in our mind about the person. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend less time.      Frequently, when we dislike qualities in other people, ironically, it’s usually the mirror that’s speaking to us.      I began questioning myself further each time I encountered someone that I didn’t particularly like. Each time, I asked myself, “What is it about that person that I don’t like?” and then “Is there something similar in me?” in every instance, I could see a piece of that quality in me, and sometimes I had to really get very introspective. So what did that mean?      It means that just as I can get annoyed or disturbed when I notice that aspect in someone else, I better reexamine my qualities and consider making some changes. Even if I’m not willing to make a drastic change, at least I consider how I might modify some of the things that I’m doing.      At times we meet someone new and feel distant, disconnected, or disgusted. Although we don’t want to believe it, and it’s not easy or desirable to look further, it can be a great learning lesson to figure out what part of the person is being reflected in you. It’s simply just another way to create more self-awareness.
工作面试中的典型英语问题 Following are some typical questions that an interviewer may ask during a job interview, and some typical responses:      Can you tell me a little more about the Canto project that you did at ABC Incorporated?      Oh, that was a very exciting project. We had to increase sales by 40% during the 2nd quarter, and our results exceeded expectations,even though we were under a lot of pressure.      Why should I hire you?      I feel that my qualifications match your job description. I have a proven track record in resolving problems, multitasking, and dealing with customers, as you can see from my resume.      What can you offer this company?      In addition to the skills and experience we discussed, I'm an extremely hard worker, I'm very thorough and methodical, I get along great with people, and I'm a quick learner.      Can you tell me some of your strengths and weaknesses?      I'm loyal, honest, I manage my time effectively, I always follow through on my work, and I have great computer skills. Umm, I can't really say I have any major weakness that affects my performance at work. I believe in continual learning and on-the-job training so that I can perform even better. Sometimes, I think I'm too hard-working, but I really love my work.      Great! So when can you start?      I have to give two weeks notice, which is just enough time to complete my current project. I can start any time after that.      中:      下面是会见者在工作面试中可能会问到的一些典型问题和一些典型的回答:      你能更具体地告诉我一些你为ABC公司做的Canto计划的一些情况吗?      那是个非常激动人心的工程。我们必须在第二季度使销售额增长40%,虽然我们承受着很大的压力,但结果比我们的预期计划要好。      我为什么要雇用你呢?      我觉得我的条件正适合你们的工作类型。从我的简历中你可以看到我有一份证实我在解决问题,进行多重任务工作,和处理顾客问题方面能力的证明资料。      你能为公司做出什么贡献呢?      除了我们刚才讨论过的技能和经历之外,我是一个工作非常努力的人,我工作很认真,而且很有办法,我能与大家相处得非常好,并且我学得很快。      你能告诉我你的强项和弱项吗?      我忠诚,诚实,能有效地利用我的时间,我工作有头有尾,并且我有很强的计算机运用能力。事实上我没有什么会影响到我的工作表现的重大弱点,我坚信通过不断地学习和在职培训我会表现得更好。有时我工作太疯狂了,但我实在太热爱我的工作了。      好极啦。你什么时候可以上班呢?      我必须提前两周提交辞职报告,在这两周内,我要继续工作并完成目前的任务。两周后,我可以随时上班。
英语中如何形容美女 在中文里我们有太多太多的成语来形容美女, 如沉鱼落雁, 倾国倾城, 闭月羞花等等. (你能想像如何教一个不懂中文的老外这些成语吗? ) 英语中用来形容女孩子的字眼也不少, 但跟中文比起来就真的是小巫见大巫了, 不过还是有些用来形容女人的说法值得学一学. 1. Hey, look at the chick over there.      看看在那边的女孩.      Chick 这个字代表的就是女孩子, 各位不要跟 chic (时尚) 这个字给搞混了. Chick 这个字念起来就像是 chicken 前面的几个音, 所以蛮好认的. 一般而言 chick 和 girl 是可以交互使用的, 例如, 她是个十三岁的女孩, 就是 She is a thirteen-year-old chick.      2. She is gorgeous!      她真是漂亮.      要懂得适时地称赞女孩实在是每个男士必修的功课. 一句简单的 You are pretty! 或是 You are so beautiful 就可以让人家高兴上好半天. Gorgeous 和 pretty, beautiful 都是美丽的意思, 但是程度上可能要比 pretty 和 beautiful 还要再来的高一些. 所以下次再看到美女, 别忘了说一声, You are gorgeous!      3. She is a babe.      她是个美女.      这句话是用来形容美女的喔. 要特别注意 babe 跟 baby 只有一字之差但却相差十万八千里. 你千万不要说成 Oh! I like the baby, 那么你很有可能被人家当成恋童癖.      4. She turns me on.      她让我眼睛为之一亮.      各位男生不知有没有这样的经验, 一位长发美女从你眼前走过, 你的目光便不自觉地投射在她身上, 全身的血液也开始跟著沸腾起来. 这要怎么用英文形容呢? 这就叫 She turns me on. 这好像是说, 她把你身上的电源都给打开了.      另外, turn-on 也可以当作名词用, 它用来表示任何令你觉得很不错的人, 事, 物. 另外你可以说 She is such a turn-on. 就是说她给我的感觉还蛮不错的.      5. I think she is a hottie.      她是个辣妹.      所谓的 hottie 就是指那种很辣的辣妹, 穿著打扮各方面可能都非常地时髦. 或是你也可以说, hot babe 或是 hot chick. 但有一点请注意, 也许你在国内对一个女孩子说, 你真是个辣妹啊! 她可能还会蛮高兴的, 但是在美国你不可以去跟女孩子说 You are a hottie. 那么你可能换回一巴掌.      另外有一个字眼跟 hottie 很像, 叫 hot tamale, 但是这个字一般而言比较少人在用. Hot tamale 原是一种墨西哥食物, 被引申成为辣妹的意思, 不过这个用法比 hottie 更强烈, hottie 单指好看或漂亮的人, 但 hot tamale 则又加上了一些不能自己控制自己, 有点疯狂的意思, 所以也不要乱用喔.      6. Do you know Jean? She is a cutie.      你认识 Jean 吗? 她好可爱喔!      看来中外皆然, 女孩子总是分为二种, 漂亮美艳型和活泼可爱型. 至于那种遵守交通规则型 (obeying the traffic rules 则不在本文讨论范围之内) 漂亮的女生叫 hottie, 相对的, 可爱的女生就叫 cutie. 或是你单讲, She is so cute! 也是不错的用法.      7. She is well-developed.      她很丰满.      刚才说的是以脸蛋来分的, 现在说的是以身材来分的. 看到身材很好的女生, 女生之间彼此会说 She is well-developed 或是 well-endowed.
