教师赋

《读者》2011年第18

 

    伟乎大哉,教育!开天辟地,自人类步入文明社会,读书不可一朝废于天下,学校不可一日缺于州邑,教师不可一时少于教坛。教育乃社会之基、国运之肇、为政之本、成才之道。教育兴则人才盛,人才盛则百业旺。教涵万古江山气,师育千秋栋梁材,文明相传,社会和谐,教育之功大焉!

  教育伟业,重在教师。古往今来,代代教师胸怀报国之志,潜心作育英才:三尺讲台,领万千学子驰骋天地人间,观宇宙之大,一方教室,引无数心灵神游古今未来,察品类之盛;学数理化感自然规律以求真,习文史哲阅世事沧桑以求善,练琴书画悟人间冷暖以求美。传道授业解惑,学而不厌,诲人不倦。传承灿烂文化,铸就高尚人格,教师贡献伟焉!

  为人师者,励志当先。为师无凌云之志,岂可作鸿鹄高飞;为师无远大理想,何能登教坛高峰。师志如石,可破不摧其坚;师志如丹,可磨不夺其赤。立志为师,当以圣贤为范:见贤思齐,闻过则喜;有教无类,不偏不倚;诲人不倦,苦心孤诣;安贫乐道,毕生奉献教坛。

  为人师者,重在树德。以至诚之德泽润学子,方能教学相长,同得学问,成就大业。师德永居高处,传厚德之道;学问远争上游,播载物之理。学为人师,行为世范

  为人师者,教法为要。教若渡河,教法乃舟,无舟则望洋兴叹;教若登山,教法如绳,无绳则见山徒呼。欲得教法,贵在辗转思索,由表及里,由浅入深,去粗取精,去伪存真,升华为理。科学教法,贵在勇立潮头,独辟蹊径,开拓创新,因材施教,人本为先。

  教师队伍,贵有名师。回眸千载,大师相望,名家辈出。中国教育规模世界之最,千万教师当为全球师者楷模。推动教育发展,须有名师为范。有志为名师者,当胸怀国家施教化,心系学子育英才,挟雄风以长驱,展示为人为师、为师与为名师之人格魅力、职业精神。感师者之乐,悟育才之道,登教坛之巅!

  当今中华,人口与自然资源压力共存。居安思危,国民共识:尊师重教可化人口压力为人力资源。全民重教,教师职业令人羡慕,为师有幸,教育大哉大过于天。

  巍巍教坛,茫茫学海,鹰飞鱼跃,海阔天宽。为师者当不懈奋斗,勤学不辍,精教不止,期大音,跃龙门。百年桃李绽放天下春,千古红烛永远照人间。

前段时间有传看净空法师的<和谐拯救危机>感受颇深....在如今世风日下,物欲横流社会和教育里,孩子和成人的品德已开始丧失.....

 

步从容立端正这句在弟子规中的话的意思

这句弟子规的话讲,人的威仪要从容大方。迈步的时候,迈得不慌不忙,走起路来有一种潇洒自信的神态。站着的时候要端端正正,所谓“站有站相”。站的时候抬头挺胸,给人一种充满自信、正气的感觉,不要弯腰驼背,年纪不大,但是看起来却老气横秋。佛门里面有个“四威仪”:立如松,行如风,坐如钟,卧如弓。站立的时候像一棵松树,挺拔端正。走起路来大方从容,像一股风。坐的时候,坐得端端正正,像一口大钟很稳重。睡的时候,右侧卧睡,腿弯起来像一张弓,这种卧姿称为“吉祥卧”,这样卧对身体有好处。这些形象都代表着内心,因为内心有诚敬,所以外面的形象就端正大方。反之如果内心不正,他的仪容也一定会有表现。因此,君子通过修行自己的仪表,来端正自己的心念。

 

揖深圓拜恭敬

 

这句弟子规的话讲对人行礼。古礼,有作揖,有跪拜,礼代表着恭敬心。作揖是两只手抱拳,弯腰动作要圆,不要看起来很生硬。向人礼拜的时候,古人是进入朝廷里,向皇帝行三跪九叩的大礼。在家里对父母,在学校对老师也应该要跪拜。

 

 

像我在家里对父母也是跪拜的,对自己老师也是跪拜的,这都是恭敬心。一个人通过这些礼节,来养自己的恭敬心,时间久了,恭敬心就养成了。养成恭敬心,处处有一种谦和之气,这就是福气。《弟子规》讲:“大多吉凶之兆,萌乎心,而动乎四体。”一个人的吉凶祸福,必定有一个预兆。什么样的预兆?他从心里面生起的每一个念头就是预兆。虽然一般人看不到他内心的念头,但是能够通过他的身体、神态,看到他的内心。所谓“其过于厚者常获福,过于薄着常近祸”,如果一个人的行为非常恭敬、厚道,他必定会获福。如果一个人轻薄、傲慢、懒散,这种人必定会引来祸

旮旯里坐的是总统

    网上有白宫决策捕杀本·拉登的现场照片,其中一幅是海豹突击队在巴基斯坦执行捕杀拉登的任务时,奥巴马和幕僚们在白宫局势研究室(Situation Room),目不转睛地盯着屏幕,监看卫星实时传送的视频。(图中左起副总统拜登、总统奥巴马,右起国防部长盖茨、国务卿希拉里。希拉里前面一份文档因为保密原因,被打上马赛克。)

    这样一群咳嗽一声全世界都会感冒的人,在一个足以左右世界局势的房间里,监看着一个国家与一个人的战争的最后战果,现场高清图片能公开发布,是件很令我感到很惊奇的事情。这是因为,在我有限的认知里,莫说是高级首长,就算是贫困县的书记县长,类似题材的照片都是不宜即时公开的。当然,有利和谐稳定、反映伟大成就、展示亲民风采的相当正面的照片除外。

    更令人惊奇的是,奥巴马及随身的幕僚不过十数人,竟把一个堂堂的白宫局势研究室挤得满满登登。由此可知,这个著名的所在也不过如此,其面积估算起来,也就与我们的科级领导的秘书办公室大致相当,实在是缺少了点大国风范。不仅如此,那会议桌、那墙壁,看不出豪华装修的痕迹,满屋子透着寒酸气。真不明白,这见多识广的美利坚的高级官员们,怎么就不到我们这里哪怕是一个县处级单位,取取改善办公环境的经,居然可以在如此简陋的条件下还能忍受得住?

    办公环境差也就罢了,不像话的是,白宫的“机关事务管理局”似乎根本没拿领导当干部。会场内没有时鲜的水果,没有可口的饮料,连周九耕同志都能抽得起的“九五至尊”也没有一包。会议桌上看到的只是一次性纸杯,总统面前隐约可见的水瓶,里面大概也只是清水而不会是“红牛”。

    让人看起来不习惯的,还有室内的座次。无论是实际所处的位置,还是照片布局中的位置,本应处在正中的奥巴马被挤到了犄角,绻着身子坐在一张小得可怜的椅子上,连他身边那穿着军装的家伙,坐的椅子都比他的大,看起来也比他的舒适。如果不是他那张为世人熟识的脸,根本就看不出来旮旯里这个人,居然是美国总统。这样喧宾夺主的照片,也敢拍摄并敢公布出来,这就是在我们的某省某县网站上,也根本是不会被审查通过的。

    再细看一下他的那些幕僚,无论是坐还是站,倒是一个个气宇轩昂,似乎他成了不起眼的陪衬人。而他似乎对下属们这种在我们看来简直是僭越的行为,丝毫没有在意。看来,他是习惯了与下属们这种随意性的相处,他更关注的是眼前捕杀行动的情况。我就在想,这要是在我们这里,哪怕是一个乡镇的活动,镜头中的领导,一定会身居正坐,气度不凡地运筹为幄着,而在场的下属,则会一个个表情严肃地听取着领导的指示,岂能如奥巴马的同僚那样抢了领导的风头?

    总之,这张照片说明一个问题,在对待领导这件事情上,奥巴马没把自己当回事,下属们也没把他当回事,都太没有规矩了。但就是这样一个在下属面前不把自己当回事的领导,却在随后的电视讲话中,说出了全世界都不能不当回事的话:“今天我们再次印证只要美国下定决心,这个国家想做的事情就一定能够实现。”这,可能才是老美想要的规矩。而这种规矩,恐怕也只有在会议室中不那么讲究规矩的一群人,才有资格制定。

高口听力下半场

NTGF

Everyone experiences stress on some level every day. Stress, broadly defined, is our response to events that we perceive as threatening or challenging.

We may experience different levels of stress depending on the stressors, meaning the events or circumstances that cause us to feel stress. Of course, not everyone perceives the same events or circumstances as stressful. We don’t always react the same way to the same stressors. In fact, something that is extremely stressful for one person may be exciting or non-stressful for another.

In general, though, stressful events can be classified into three main categories: cataclysmic events, personal stressors and background stressors. Cataclysmic events are major events that cause stress suddenly, immediately for a great many of people at once. Examples of these are earthquakes, fires or other disasters. Personal stressors are major life events that create stress. They can include the death of loved ones, a job loss, a divorce, a financial setback, or a geographical move. They’re not always events that we perceive as negative. Many joyful life events can also cause a great deal of stress. For example, getting engaged, or married, acquiring a new family member through birth or adoption, starting a new job, and even taking a vacation can all be as stressful as negative life events. Finally, background stressors, which we can also think of as day-to-day hustles or minor irritations can cause stress, particularly, when they add up when we are repeatedly exposed to them. Examples of background stressors are waiting in a long line, getting stuck in a traffic jam, being exposed to noise, experiencing a delay of some sort, or dealing with broken equipment. Examples of chronic background stressors and the kind that can lead to long-term health problems include being unhappy with one’s job, living environment, marriage, or relationship. Stress is not something that only exists in our mind. Repeated exposure to stressors has both psychological and biological consequences. When we’re exposed to stressors, our adrenal    gland secretes certain hormones and our heart rate and blood pressure rise. We experience a “fight or flight” response—a sense of emergency when the body prepares to defend itself. This is useful in some situations, especially where we might actually need to defend ourselves. In the long run, though, this activation of what is known as the sympathetic nervous system has negative effects and reduces our capacity to manage stress. When stress hormones are constantly secreted, and the body is continually preparing for emergencies, body tissues such as the heart and blood vessels can begin to deteriorate; the immune system functions less effectively, and reduces our ability to fight our illness.

The General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS explains the sequence of physiological reactions to stress. There are three phases to GAS. The first is the alarm and mobilization phase. This is when we first become aware of a stressor. When we respond with alarm, we may feel upset or confused. We may even feel a sense of panic or fear. After that, however, we may begin to mobilize our efforts, in other words, to take action, to remove the stressor. For example, if you receive a mid-semester report, stating that your grades were all very low, you might worry at first, but then you would probably make plans to reverse the situation to improve your grades. The second phase of GAS is the resistance stage which occurs if the stressor is not removed. This is the stage when we fight against the stressor or try to cope with the stressor. The attempt to mobilize and remove the source of stress from phase one can result in further stress. For example, if you were studying long hours to try to improve low grades, you might succeed in improving the grades but create more stress in the process. This can lead to the third GAS phase: exhaustion. In his phase, if resistance was not successful, and stressors still exist, our ability to fight or cope with the stressor diminishes. At this point, symptoms of stress manifest themselves psychologically and biologically. Psychologically, we may become irritable, short-tempered, or unable to focus. There may be a sense of being completely overwhelmed and unable to function. Biologically, our bodies may react with such symptoms as aches and pains, fatigue or illness. Interestingly, the exhaustion phase may actually be an extreme way of trying to avoid the stressors. The body may be telling us that we need to take a break, and that we need to do whatever is necessary to remove ourselves from the stressor.

Listening translation

Sentence translation

1. Let me say that prevention crime is definitely better than punishing it. It’s better to have good role models in stopping crimes before it starts, but we also need harsher punishments.

2. Many cities have small areas or ghettos when people live in dangerous or destitute conditions. Beautiful architecture and vibrant night life are one face of the city. The cities also have problems of inequality, crowding and poverty.

3. According to a report released by a Spanish news agency FA, many Latin American leaders voiced fears that an economic crisis might unleash a wave of protectionism and entire immigration measures in Europe.

4. Farmers in this country have to comply with strange requirements which make it much more costly to produce, in meat production for example, they do not tolerate growth hormones and genetically modified products.

5. The index of top European shares tumbled 2.2 percent with banks and commodity stocks, the hardest hit. The index which gain nearly 20 percent in 2009 is now down 4.31 percent amid persistent concerns about the Euro Zone stage problems.

Passage translation

1. Many people love the excitements of living in a big city, such as London, but for others, things happen a bit too fast. People seem busy and stressed all the time. A group called “Slow London” wants everyone to slow down and take some time to relax. Perhaps you could walk to work one day instead of driving, or when you buy a newspaper, take the time to have a friendly chat with the news agent. But is life in the capital really too fast? Talking about myself, I work in London; I live out in Kent, in the countryside. I really notice how different the pace is from out in the countryside.

2. The percentage of high-school-aged youth who participate in some sort of physical activity for at least 60 minutes for 5 or more days per week increased from 18% in 2005 to 30% in 2010. The percentage of high-school-aged youth who ate fruits and vegetables 5 or more times per day decreased from 21% to 19% in the same period. Officials at the conference said that to battle the problem of obesity, a holistic approach involving the entire city must be undertaken. Every agency and group, parks and recreation, as well as community groups, churches, nonprofits and businesses must be involved in tackling obesity.

2011年3月高级口译听力全文:

Question 11-15 are based on the following interview

Today we continue our series Traditional Dress All Throughout the World. Our journey takes us to Sri Lanka. Shanika Desilva, a native Sri Lankan now living in Los Angeles California share her thoughts on traditional dress in her country. Shanika, thanks for joining us today!

My pleasure.

First of all, I’d like to ask you, what’s the traditional clothing of Sri Lanka.

Well, for women, it’s Sari. It’s a long piece of cloth that’s trapped around your waist and then it goes over your shoulder.

Do most women in Sri Lanka wear Saris?

Most of the old women wear Sari every day. The younger women tend to wear dresses or pants or something.

Why don’t the younger women wear Saris?

Well I guess some of them feel that Saris are hot and difficult to walk in because they are long.

Sounds like Saris are not very practical.

Some people feel that way. Although women think Saris are old-fashioned they are great for formal occasions. But if you are hanging out with friends, you want something more modern.

So younger women want to be more modern.

Actually I shouldn’t say all younger women it depends on your family history. You see there are too many groups of people in Sri Lanka the Sintolese and Tamos then there are some other ethnic groups like Sri Lankan who are part European. The women who are part European tend to wear western clothing because they have relatives who wear western clothing but women who are Sintolese or Tamos tend to be more traditional

Because they didn’t have that western influence. So you are saying the family background can influence the way they are dressing

Yes I think it does.

We’ve been talking about what the women wear how about men. Do they have traditional clothing?

The men I guess used to wear a Sarans, a long piece of cloth that’s wrapped around the waist.

You say “used to” do they wear them anymore?

People who live in the countryside still wear Sarans but in the city men wear pants and shirts they only wear Sarans to relax at home.

Interesting. Can I switch a gear and ask you some personal questions?

Sure.

Is traditional clothing important to you?

It’s funny because when I was a kid and growing up in Sri Lanka I didn’t want to wear Saris but now I’m older I’d like to wear them sometimes like my wedding. I wore a white Sari in my wedding.

When has your attitude changed do you think?

I guess when you are older you can see the value in it more. When you are younger you are more interested in being a style wearing Levis and staff like that now I think about something unique from my culture. It’s nice to have something to wear and in U.S. a sari is really exotic.

It certainly is. Well unfortunately our time’s up. Thanks for talking with us, Shanika.

You are welcome.

11 what’s the main topic of this interview?

12 there are several reasons why young women don’t wear Saris in Sri Lanka which of the following is not one of their reasons?

13 according to the interviewee which of the factors also affects the way people dress in Sri Lanka?

14 what can we know from the interview of men’s clothing in Sri Lanka?

15 why has the interviewee’s attitude towards clothing changed?

 

Question 16-20 So is everyone awake? I guess that’s a good question that starts an early morning lecture about sleep. Seriously how many of you feel you didn’t get enough sleep last night? Raise your hands. Hum, about a third of you. That’s interesting. Because that shows that you are not so different from the population in general, about 30% of the adults say they frequently don’t feel rested when they wake up in the morning. And why is that? Well in most cases is because they stay up too late parting or watching TV. But in a small percentage of cases, they could be suffering from a sleep disorder. A condition that interferes with a person’s ability to sleep normally. There are many different times of sleep disorders. But the three that I want to describe today are called sleep Apnea, narcolepsy and insomnia.Ok, the first disorder I listed is Apnea, that’s a-p-m-e-a. People with sleep apnea stop breathing. Sometimes 10 seconds or longer, and not just once. It can happens several hundred times a night. Each time this happens, they wake up and go right back to sleep. So their sleep is constantly interrupted. But in the morning, they don’t remember waking up. They just feel tired and sleepy. Then how do you know if you have this problem? The usual symptoms are heavy breathing and snoring combining with feeling tired all the time. The cause of this problem is that air can’t go into and out of the nose or mouth usually because the throat is too relaxed. Consequently the treatment is very simple. The person wears a soft mask, attached to a machine that helps to regulate his or her breathing through out the night. In strange cases of apnea, surgery maybe necessary.The Second sleep disorder that I want to describe today is called narcolepsy. That spelled n-a-r-c-o-l-e-p-s-y. Perhaps you’ve seen a movie in which people are sitting at a table eating and talking. And suddenly one person just falls over. Perhaps his face falls into his soup.It’s funny in a movie, but in reality this could be a symptom of narcolepsy. Narcoleptic get a sudden attack of sleep in the middle of the day any time any place. They can’t control it. They simply fall asleep for brief periods of time. By the way this Disorder appears to be particularly frequent among students enrolled in at eight a.m. classes. But seriously, narcolepsy can’t be quiet scary. The cause is high levels of certain chemicals in the part of the brain that regulate sleep. Once narcolepsy is diagnosed, it’s usually treated successfully with medication. Sleep Apnea and narcolepsy are serious problems. But they are rare conditions.In contrast, the third sleep disorder I want to discuss insomnia is quiet common. Insomnia means the difficulty either falling asleep or staying asleep. Almost everybody has insomnia once in a while. But I want to talk about chronic insomnia, which is when sleeping becomes difficult for weeks, months or years at a time. The Cause could be either psychotically or physical. Most often is psychological. That is it caused by stress. You know worrying about problems at work or at home and so on. Or the cause could be physical, such as too much caffeine or nicotine in the body. Both of these chemicals are stimulus that can keep you from sleeping. Stimulus are substances that make you feel awake and energetic. As I said Coffee and cigarettes are both stimulus. Now that brings us to treatment for insomnia. Obviously, if you have trouble sleeping, the first thing you should do is avoid Coffee, tea and cigarettes in the evening. You should also avoid alcohol. Many people say that a glass of beer or wine help them sleeping. And that maybe true once in a while. But drinking alcohol every night is dangerous. But after a while it starts working, as everyone knows alcohol is addicted. You should also avoid sleeping pills for the same reason because they are addicted. These are the things you shouldn’t do if you have insomnia. Now what should you do? Question 16-2016. According to the lecture, about what percentage adults say that they often don’t feel rested when they wake up in the morning?17. The lecture discusses several types of sleep disorder, which of the following is not one of these disorders?18. Which of the following is not a usual symptom for sleep insomnia?19. Which of the following statements is true with people who suffer from narcolepsy?20 What can we learn about chronic insomnia?

2011年3月高级口译听力全文:

Spot dictation

Renowned US economist John Rutledge, who helped frame the fiscal policies of two former US presidents, warned that an abrupt rise in China’s currency could lead to another Asian financial crisis. The founder of Rutledge Capital told the media that if the Yuan rises too fast and too high, it would discourage foreign direct investment in China, while encouraging currency manipulation by market speculators. Currency change is more difficult for investors and more exciting for speculators. The Chinese currency has appreciated by more than 5% since July 2005 when the country allowed the Yuan to float against the US dollar with a daily band of 0.3%. The analysts are expecting the currency to rise another 4% by the end of this year. But if the Yuan rose 20% to 30% as some US politicians are demanding, it would jeopardize the Chinese economy, causing a recession and deflation. Similar advice to allow an abrupt appreciation of a currency led to the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and came very close to destroying the Japanese economy. The US economist says that investors want foremost to avoid risks associated with large fluctuations in currency and inflation. They calculate returns on their investment after evaluating risks to benefits such as lower labor cost. A rising Yuan will drive up labor costs for foreign investors and would not result in higher wages for workers. Earlier reports said that currency speculators had pumped 200 billion US dollars into China by the end of last year with another 70 billion US dollars flowing into the economy in the first 3 months of this year. There’s no way to accurately track the flow of this type of investment, and many economists disagree that the amount of speculative cash is so high. Instead of further appreciating its currency, China should make the Yuan convertible to the US dollar. If the Yuan were more easily converted into foreign currencies, it would allow Chinese companies to expand overseas, facilitate the purchase of foreign technology, and provide management experience and capital that China needs. It would also shrink Forex reserves and reduce speculative money coming into the country.

Listening comprehension

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following conversation.

W: Hi, Robert, you are 20 now, right?

M: Right.

W: What do you think about what Nina said?

M: I definitely agree that younger people are less intimidated by technology. But when I compare myself with other people my age, I don't see myself particularly good with computers. Most of my friends are much better with computers than I am. But this summer, I worked in an office with lots of adults. And I realized that I'm a lot more comfortable with technology than they are.

W: Do you use email a lot?

M: Well, I do agree that letters make better keep-seeks. But email is just so much more convenient. For example, I'm away at college now, and I don't know how I could keep in touch with my high school friends without email. I like email because it's such a casual form of communication. It's great for just saying "hello" and checking upon people. For more standard interaction, I still use the phone a lot; but for just telling people that you thought of them that day or that you miss them, email is great.

W: How often would you say that you email people?

M: Well, I check my email at least 5 times a day, I would have to admit. Actually, probably a bit more. I also have I AM, that is instant messaging, can figured so that it loads the program automatically whenever I turn on my computer. So I AM on that is as well. It definitely makes you spend more time on the computer than you meant to. Sometimes I just turn on my computer to check on one little thing. And all of a sudden, three people send me instant messages, and I talk to them for half an hour. But it's not a waste of time. Because I love to hear from my friends.

W: So young people are better with computers than adults?

M: I don't know if kids are really better at computers or just more used to them. Computers can definitely be an intimidating, especially when they go wrong. For people who are familiar with them, I think a typical response is to use them as little as possible. My dad is like that. But once you get over your initial fear of just fettling around with them and texting things out. It becomes a lot more fun and it's really not difficult.

M: What about your friends?

M: Well, I guess my generation is hooked on the Internet. But people don't make it their whole life. It's just one other thing they like to do. It really opens up a lot of doors. The Internet, it makes a lot of things accessible. My college now is a pretty web-based school. At first, I was a little bit surprised, at how much the Internet was used. Like for example, all of my syllabi for my classes are on line.

W: Do you think the Internet has any disadvantages?

M: Well, something that is bad about Internet is that not everyone has access to web. I feel like when my generation is grown up in part of the work force, computer skills are just going to be assumed. They want to be an added asset like I think as a ...so what will happen to the people in my generation who don't have these computer skills, you know? There're really going to be disadvantages. So I think the Internet could increase the disparities between different classes which is horrible or maybe technology just stimulates the existing disparities in a different way. I'm not sure, in my own life, though, I love having the Internet. I don't know what I do without it.

Question1. Which of the following statements does Robert definitely agree with?

Question2. Robert explains why he uses emails a lot, which of the following is not one of his reasons?

Question 3. What makes Robert spend a lot of time on the computer?

Question 4. What does Robert is bad about the Internet?

Question 5. According to Robert, what will happen to people in his generation when they don't have these computer skills?

 

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following news.

Islamabad, Pakistan

 Pakistan’s foreign ministry defended its refusal to allow US officials to visit a nuclear reactor that the United States helped build in 1960s, Aurymoon, highly enriched uranium format. The uranium had been provided by the United States. ‘We said no, because it’s now our property and we will not return it.’ foreign ministry spokesman Aodubaseat said in a statement. ‘This only shows that Pakistan is very sensitive about its nuclear program. No one can touch Pakistan’s nuclear facilities and assets.’

Washington, the United States

Foreign government reacted with a mixture of denials and dismissiveness yesterday to the massive leaking of US diplomatic cables, questioning the decision to make the material public but also insisting, for the most part, that revelations were either untrue or unlikely to affect world events. The Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinejad accused the United States of purposely leaking the confidential cables, some of which discussed Arab nations’ concerns about Iran’s nuclear program and whether it should be contained by diplomatic efforts or destroyed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the cables provide proof that the Arab world agrees with his country’s assessment that Iran is the chief danger to the Middle East.

Porter Prince, Haiti

A quiet tension settled over Haiti on Monday as people waited to learn how electoral officials proceeded in handling Sunday’s chaos among the national balloting and the international community hope the earthquake-ravaged country did not yet again descent into violence. A leading presidential candidate Singer Michelle Martell, who joined the 11 others the day before in asking for the elections to be canceled, suggested he was now open to let his results be counted while still insisting a massive fraud had been committed. Word was spreading that M and M……a professor and former first lady with the front runners despite allegations that president P try to steal the election for his unity party and its candidate Jude Salistine. 

Tokyo, Japan

Factories in Japan cut output in October, adding two evidence of an Asian wide slowdown and bolding ill for the rest of the world that is relied on the region to keep the global economy hopping. Japanese companies Cut production for the 4th month which fell by a biggest margin since February, 2010. The fall in Japan was expected, in fact, a drop of 1.8% was smaller than forecast 3.3% after a key stimulus measure incentive …. fewer cars expired in September and exports continue to cool. The drop, however, confirm the expectations that the world’s third largest economy would contract in the final quarter of the year after a stimulus-striven spurt in the third quarter.

Cancun, Mexico

Global talks on climate change opened in Cancun, Mexico on Monday with the toughest issues on resolved and little expectation of a breakthrough on shaping an international treaty to curb emissions of heat-trapping gases linked to global warming. The United States entered the talks in a weak position because of a lack of action on domestic climate and energy legislation and continuing disputes with China and other major developing nations over a verification of missions’ reductions. The United Nations negotiating process itself is on the line with many saying that the one hundred nation talks can not survive another debark, like that in Copenhagen in last December.

亲爱的自己:你好!

    转眼2010年这么快就过去了,很多快乐与烦恼都在瞬间画上句号,过去就让它过去吧,无论好与坏,无论悲与喜,它们都将会成为记忆中的永恒,不是么?

    亲爱的自己,新的一年里,你要再接再厉,继续加油!

    亲爱的自己,有一万个理由要对别人好,没有一个理由要求别人对你好。

    亲爱的自己,你很幸运,无论何时何地,总是有陌生的或者熟悉的朋友的帮助你,你要记得感恩!

    亲爱的自己,这个世界上没有任何事是偶然的,任何幸运中都一定包含着你的努力与阳光!

    亲爱的自己,你总是很感性,你很容易感动或是动容,你总是一副菩萨心肠,那么的善良。

    亲爱的自己,虽然有人说,女人是水做的,感性是女人的天分,可是你还可以更加理性的。

    亲爱的自己,你要感谢你身边那群可爱的朋友,他们总是毫无保留的与你分享最新的消息,最美的食物和一切欢乐时光。

    亲爱的自己,你要感谢那些向你倾诉烦恼的朋友,因为这个世界上,没有任何东西比信任更加珍贵!

    亲爱的自己,你要爱护那些让你随心所欲口吐心声分享内心世界的朋友,他们总是耐心的倾听,支持你鼓励你,然后帮助你整理思路,并提出最佳方案,是多么的难得!

    亲爱的自己,倘若有一天,你真的做出了成绩,不要忘了他们,你要尽可能的帮助他们。因为如果没有他们的倾囊相助,也许你不会那么快的站在领奖台上。

    亲爱的自己,你还要感谢那些苦口婆心费尽心力向你诠释这个世界丑陋的朋友,虽然你并不喜欢听,但是你要全面客观的认知这个世界。

    亲爱的自己,你所拥有的很多机会和朋友都是让人羡慕和嫉妒的,所以你要懂得珍惜。

    亲爱的自己,人时常都会浮躁,所以你要淡定。

    亲爱的自己,个人魅力总是有限的,你要学会选择,瞻前顾后,畏首畏尾,这是不对的!你的这个毛病很突出啊!

    亲爱的自己,过去的一年中,你做了很多抉择,关于工作的,关于个人的,无论对与错,你始终将自己保护的好好的,并且兴高采烈,我真替你开心。

    亲爱的自己,开朗、豁达、厚道都做到,就会幸福。新的一年,新的目标,好好努力,加油!

    亲爱的自己,很晚了,早点睡吧,好梦!记得醒来的时候,要多笑,露岀的牙齿上就会有阳光

   一直忙于工作,很少在网上逗留。

   今天翻开日历的时候,突然发现,不知不觉中圣诞就在眼前。突然有种忙忙碌碌,转眼就是一年的感觉。

   前两天,和一朋友聊天,她说,“我给你分享一微博上的故事吧...”,“我跟你说一微博上的消息...”,“微博上有一笑话特逗...”。

   我很好奇,微博有那么好么?于是,朋友开始了长篇大论...

   好吧,我也开通微博,与大家同欢乐。

   朋友分享的故事中,有一个我印象特别深刻,蛮有哲理,与大家分享:

   一个年轻人问一个得道的老者:“智慧哪里来?”,智者说:“精确的判断力”。年轻人又问:“精确的判断力哪里来?”,智者说:“经验”。年轻人再问:“经验哪里来?”,智者说:“错误的判断”。

   其实人生成长的路上,可能总是夹杂着磕磕绊绊,我们谁又不是呢?我的学生常常带着困惑问我,“梅老师,我该怎么办?”,当然,我总会尽我所能去开导他们帮助他们。岁末之际,想对我的学生说:人生中的困惑也许时常有,可是它并不意味着浪费时间和生命,而往往意味着你可能更好的拥有时间和生命,不要害怕,为了自己美好的未来加油吧!我会祝福你们!

   圣诞就要来临,祝大家圣诞快乐!
