for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with
the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks you can either use the exact

words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally,
when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

Now listen to the passage

Belgium has three main (36)geographic regions: the coastal plain, the central plateau and the
highlands. The coastal plain extends (37)inland 16 to 48 kilometers on the northwest. Along the
North Sea is a low-lying area (38)consisting mainly of sandy hills and sections of land (39)reclaimed
from the sea. The coastal plain’s elevation ranges from sea level to 20 meters.

The central plateau is a (40)gently rolling, slightly elevated area, (41)irrigated by many waterways and containing a number of wide, (42)fertile valleys with a rich soil. The highlands, a densely-
wooded plateau,(43) averaging 460 meters in elevation, extend across southeastern Belgium and into
northeastern France. Located here is the highest peak in Belgium with an elevation of 694 meters.

(44)The climate near the sea is humid and mild. Farther inland, a marked increase in the range
of temperature occurs. In the highlands, hot summers alternate with cold winters. Heavy rains are
confined almost exclusively to the highlands.(45) Fog and rain are common, and April and November are particularly rainy months. In Brussels, the average temperatures range from zero to 5 degrees
Centigrade in January and from 13 to 22 degrees Centigrade in July. (46)Along the coast, the average
range is 1 degree to 5 degrees Centigrade in January and 14 to 20 degrees Centigrade in July.

Now the passage will be read again.

Belgium has three main (36)geographic regions: the coastal plain, the central plateau and the

This is the end of listening comprehension.

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear
some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you
hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B),
C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line
through the center.

Passage One

Our electric car is the way of the future. Automobile manufacturers are under the pressure to
develop cars that do not pollute. One powerful motive is a California law requiring that by the year
2000, 10% of the new cars sold in the state be so-called zero emission vehicles. These cars must put
no pollutants whatsoever into the atmosphere. California is a huge market for the automobile companies. So they are working hard to meet this standard. So far the electric car seems to be the best
alternative. So the biggest advantage of electric cars is that they don’t pollute. However they will be
in competition with gas-powered cars. And that’s where the weaknesses come out. The big problem
is that the batteries in electric cars weigh a lot relative to the amount of power they deliver. For instance in one electric car the batteries weigh four hundred kilograms and they provide enough energy
to go 250 km before recharging, which takes 8 hours. Compare that to a moderately fuel efficient
conventional car it can go 400-700 km on a tank of gas. And refilling takes just minutes. If there are
other drains on an electric car’s batteries besides a motor, headlights, air-conditioning or a heater, its
already limited range would be significantly reduced. So automobile engineers are trying to make
more powerful batteries that would increase the car’s range and make them more attractive to buyers.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Question 27. What is the main advantage of electric cars over gas-powered cars?
Question 28. What is the main drawback of an electric car?

Passage Two

If you were a college student there are several things you should know about renting an apartment. First, you must know how to look for a place to live. Friends, teachers and other people you
meet may know of apartments that are available. You may also find a place to live by looking in a
campus or see it in newspapers. In some towns, there are rental agencies that can help you find an
apartment, but think carefully about using agencies. Usually they will charge you a fee. You should
also walk around and look for buildings with “For Rent” signs.

When you go to look at apartments to rent, there are several things you ought to do. First, you
should find out if the apartment is safe. Be sure there are good locks on all the windows and doors.
It is also a good idea to check all the appliances as well as the water and electricity to be sure everything is working. It might also be a good idea to talk to other people who rent apartments in the same
building. This will help you to find out if there are any problems.

If you decide to rent an apartment, the landlord would probably want you to sign a lease. This
is a legal contract and you ought to read it carefully. You will also need to pay a security deposit. If
there is no damage the landlord has to return this money to you when you leave.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Question 29. How many ways of finding apartments are mentioned in this talk?
Question 30. What does the speaker advise you to do to make sure the apartment is safe?
Question 31. What should you do if you decide to rent an apartment?

Passage Three

Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in human. They have brought
interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left handed;
that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference
is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favor one particular hand,
but they also have a favorite eye, a favorite ear and foot.

We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain. It seems that
this particular half is the seat of emotion, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties
seem to be more creative than their right-handed fellow humans; they also seem to be more athletic
and to do better in some professions which—like sports—require a good sense of space. In a large
school of architecture, it was found in 1977 that 29 percent of the professors and 23 percent of the
graduating students were left-handed—while lefties represent less than 10 percent of the general
population.

Lefties manage to drive, to sew, to paint, to use machines as well as any right hander. It is not
easy for them, however, to struggle with tools, school desks, automobile and television controls, and

7

2009-10-30 9:45:12

many ordinary objects. Fortunately the creation of Left-Handers International has attracted attention
to their problems and caused the appearance of special stores offering all sorts of objects for lefties,
including wrist-watches, musical instruments, pencil-sharpeners, cameras, scissors, and books that
show them how to play left-handed guitar and left-handed golf.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Question 32. According to the talk, when do children usually form their hand preference?
Question 33. What does the speaker think about the right-handers?
Question 34. Which of the following are the left-handed people most likely to be good at?
Question 35. Why are there more left-handed athletes?

11. C 12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B
16. B 17. D 18. C 19. D 20. D
21. A 22. B 23. D 24. C 25. D
26. D 27. B 28. C 29. D 30. B

31. D 32. C 33. C 34. C 35. D
36. geographic 37. inland 38. consisting 39. reclaimed
40. gently 41. irrigated 42. fertile 43. averaging
44. The climate near the sea is humid and mild. Farther inland, a marked increase in the range of
temperature occurs.
45. Fog and rain are common, and April and November are particularly rainy months.
46. Along the coast, the average range is 1 degree to 5 degrees Centigrade in January and 14 to 20
degrees Centigrade in July.

Question .

W: I studied French in high school, but I never really learned it until I spent a few months living in
Paris after graduating from college.
M: Really? Using the language makes all the difference, doesn’t it?
Q: What does the woman mean?
Question 12.

M: My parents want to come for a visit next weekend, but I checked every hotel in the area, and all
seemed to be full.
W: Why not call the Triumph, it’s not so close to campus but it’s always got a few vacancies.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man should do?
Question 13.

W: Hey Mark, have you been able to sell your old piano yet?
M: Ah, you were right, just posting notices on bulletin boards at a couple of supermarkets wasn’t
enough. I think I’ll have to place an advertisement in the local newspaper.
Q: What does the man imply?
Question 14.

W: We had a delicious Sunday brunch at that new hotel downtown. You should try it sometime.
M: I didn’t even know the building was finished. You can tell how much I’ve been working for the
last two months.

Q: What does the man imply?
Question 15.

M: Thank goodness spring break starts next week. Are you doing anything special?
W: I have been planning to go to Florida with a friend of mine. But since she’s backed out, everything’s sort of in the air.
Q: What does the woman mean?

Question 16.

W: I need you to send this package to the main office so it’ll arrive before Wednesday’s meeting.
M: Is there anyone else who can do this because I’ll have my hands full with the report. It will probably take me a whole afternoon to prepare it.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
Question 17.

M: The conference on language and literacy education is only a month away, but there are still a few
things that our organizing committee needs to work out.

W: Then it’s clear that we’d better meet again and soon. Would you mind setting it up?
Q: What does the woman want the man to do?
Question 8.

W: I hear your company isn’t moving to the West Coast after all.
M: Well, not for the time being. But I’ve been looking into other employment opportunities here
anyway, just in case.
Q: What does the man mean?
Now you’ll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One

M: Background music is supposed to influence your attitudes and put you in the right mood. You’re
not supposed to notice it, but it’s just there, in the background.
W: I’m not sure I like that idea.
M: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It’
s supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it
a lot. It makes the workers happy, and they work better that way. In one factory, music increased
production by 4.5 percent.
W: I should think they’d get tired of hearing music all day.
M: They don’t though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, ‘If the music stops, somebody always
runs to the telephone to complain.’
W: Now that I think about it, I can’t remember when there wasn’t background music in restaurants
and stores.

M: Actually, background music started during World War II when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now, of course, the music is piped in by a machine,
and different kinds of music are played at different times during the day. They play faster music
at ten in the morning than at eight, for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.
W: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch?
M: I don’t know about that, but I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started

2009-10-30 9:45:11

playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time
was twenty-two minutes before that.

W: So they have more people coming in and out to buy hamburgers.
M: Exactly. And that’s good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles, for instance, thirty different companies are selling background music services.
W: I still think there’s something about it that I don’t quite like.
M: I know what you mean, but lots of people wouldn’t agree with you. The Xerox Corporation in
Rochester, N.Y. spends more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prisons use it, and farmers use it to keep their cattle calm. It’s even supposed to have an effect on plants.
W: Well, it may calm cattle, but it’s not making me forget I’m hungry. Let’s try to get that waitress
to bring us a menu.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Question 19. Where does this conversation take place?
Question 20. What is the purpose of playing background music in a factory?
Question 21. Which of the following is true about background music according to this dialogue?

Conversation Two

Tutor: Hello Angela, I was expecting you. Welcome to the university. Take a seat.
Angela: Thanks.
Tutor: Now, as you know we held the introductory session yesterday…so I’m going to run through
the main points for you again. Just let me see… OK, so you are going on to do a master de

gree.

Angela: Yes, that’s right, I already have a first degree in Economics, so my master will be in Business Studies and Marketing.
Tutor: Well, I’m sure this preparation course will help you with that! So, let me tell you something
about it. Basically, the course is divided into two main components: Academic Writing and
Study Skills—both nine hours per week, and in addition you will get two hours of Social
English.

Angela: Oh, that sounds like a lot of hours. I wasn’t expecting as many as that! Are there lessons

every day?

Tutor: Yes, the Academic Writing classes are in the mornings and the Study Skills sessions are in
the afternoons—but not every afternoon, Wednesday is free. And you are free at the weekends, of course.

Angela: And the Social English?
Tutor: That’s mornings too—in fact let me give you your timetable and then you will be clear
about when your classes are and who will be teaching you.

Angela: Thanks. Are there a lot of students on this course?

5

2009-10-30 9:45:11

Tutor: Oh, about 35—between them I think we have twenty four different nationalities—and there
are 3 different groups. These groups are divided according to level. Anyway, to get back to
the course, the writing classes will focus on academic writing and grammar and you will
have to do a final piece of writing at the end of the course.

Angela: What, you mean like a dissertation, or a long essay?
Tutor: Well, more of a project report, really. So it doesn’t have to be too long—usually about 2,000
words, presenting findings from some research you will be expected to do.

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Question 22. In which field is Angela going to further her studies?
Question 23. What does the preparation course consist of?
Question 24. When will Angela have classes?
Question 25. For which course will Angela write a project report?

Just want to wish you a happy Thanksgiving day with your family or friends. Everyday should be a thanksgiving day for all of us. Let's learn to love so we'll be loved.

Today will be a long day for me. With all the flakes dancing outside I'll go to Jilin for a lecture, will be back around 11pm I guess.

Anyway that's life, and I appreciate all the help from my family and friends. Thank you for your support, thanks for the driver who drives me to JL and drives me back from JL. It's hard work especially in such snowy day.

Take care and keep warm,

Rose.

Planet Earth

Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.

In my veins I've felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of history
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Were turbulent tempests in my own form
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
In your beauty, I've known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now

Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart gentle and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.

Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you.  

When people come and go through life,generation after generation, it's like ocean waves, with all of its ups and downs. Nothing left except for the memories of the waves. Perhaps, if lucky enough,you'll find some pearls on the shore. I didn't expect the pearls, but found one. It shines no matter what, no matter when. It's made of a man's virtue.It's called LOVE.

Hope to see you all soon.

Love,

Rose

一起来领略一段神之风范。

“她钢琴学了十几年了，可是我让她大学报钢琴系，她却说不想报。”

“为什么呢？”

“她说没意思。你说她该报什么专业呢？”

“这要看她喜欢什么专业，或者方向呢？”

“她自己没什么想法。”

“那她平时是内向还是外向，喜欢表达吗？”

“她不喜欢表达，就能和好朋友聊聊天，每天弹琴。”

几天前和一位同学聊天，她说自己的物理，化学，数学成绩都不是很高，所以保送的时候受到了限制。我问她为什么学得不是很好呢，这位同学说符号定理太多，觉得很枯燥，背不下来。我问她老师上课是怎么讲的呢？她说就是记笔记，做实验，做卷子。

这两位同学的故事又让我想到了几年前和一位朋友的交谈。他本不是长春人，只是在这里小住，但让我惊讶的是他对长春的地形比我还熟悉。我问他为什么方向感这么好，他说：“我小时候妈妈总带我去各地登山，我们从来不坐缆车也不问路，她总是会给我一张地图，然后对我说：‘现在你就是指挥，负责把我带出去。’我当时觉得很累但是很兴奋，现在我非常感谢我妈，因为她锻炼了我的独立能力，我的方向感就是那时候练出来的，现在我在任何城市都不会迷路了。”

这三段谈话连在一起思考，使我想到了三种学习状态的人：鼓里人，井中人，山上人。

那位弹钢琴的同学属于“鼓里人”类型。“鼓里人”对做一件事情的原因并不关心，很少问为什么，或者曾经问过被打击了，或者看到身边的人都不问，自己便从此再也不问了。老师和家长为他们包办了一切，把他们严严实实地包在了鼓里。他们在那里很安全，不冷也不饿，不痛也不痒，于是渐渐地失去了知觉，也失去了自我成长的空间。他们从最初的反抗到最后的依赖，把自己自由的领土一点一点滴丧失，并认为这是理所当然的。当有一天鼓破了，她不得不走出来的时候，她发现外面的阳光如此刺眼，阳光下的自己不知所措，脆弱的经不起一点风雨，于是生理和心理开始迅速枯萎，于是开始怨恨自己的父母，于是成了“米虫”。“鼓里人”多数是家里的乖乖女和乖乖男，也有很多在班级成绩名列前茅，但是如果组织一场辩论赛，却很难从他们的口中听到独特的见解或惊人之语，因为他们从小就习惯了接收，而不是质疑。这种人“材”不是真正的人“才 ”，因为他们没有自己独立的思想。

那位厌恶理科的同学属于“井中人”类型。“井中人”可以看到头上的天空，知道井不是全部的世界。可是由于自己所在空间有限，看到的天空也注定很有限。 “井中人”有自己的想法，可是对于自己的想法通常只是谈谈，经常是有方向没行动，所以很多人都每天愤愤不平地，自怨自艾地活在井里。是谁给我们造了这口井？多数是一些生硬的教学方法。比如在学习物理的时候，大部分老师会先在黑板上写出今天要讲的定理，让学生记下去，然后讲例题，然后择日去实验室做实验。这种本末倒置的教学方式从一开始就把学生装在了“定理”的“井”里。还没等学生对即将学习的内容产生兴趣，老师就迫不及待地把他产生兴趣的可能扼杀在了萌芽状态。老师们理所应当地认为高分就是给学生和家长最大的回报，可是他们没有想到，学生每天的所见所闻都是他们人生塑造的一部分，这种教学模式扼杀的是学生的创造力和求知欲，扼杀的是无数个未来的爱因斯坦，达芬奇，米开朗基罗，它使学术和知识失去了本初的光华。所谓的“天才”是想法独特的人，想法自由的人，想法惊人的人，而不是克隆人。所以，在教学的过程中，为学生营造“可能性”，远比向学生灌输“确定性”要有价值得多。学生们是多么希望在学习时能组成学习小组，就一个话题尽情地讨论，，至少偶尔能走出教室，来到真正自然的学习环境中，在欢笑，哪怕是在泪水中，在完成集体任务的同时产生自然的疑问和求知的需要，在老师的协助而不是指挥下去学习啊，要知道，只有他们自己才是自己的主人。遗憾的是，现在的大部分同学，包括很长一段时间的我自己，都属于“井里人”类型。这种井的井壁很高，要爬出来是一个很漫长而痛苦的过程。爬出来的过程就意味着自学的过程，重新找回自己的好奇心，创造力，犯错误的权利，改正错误的权力，成长的权力。那位厌恶理科的同学被老师装在了井里，可是自己并没有向外跳，所以我们只能哀其不幸，怒其不争。

我的那位方向感强的朋友很幸运地成为了“山上人”。“山上人”具备独立生存的能力，自我判断的能力，抵抗压力的能力，自我学习的能力。面对问题，他们总是可以“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小”-立刻抓住问题的关键，解决问题。纵观现在走在时代风口浪尖上的成功者，几乎所有人都是 “山上人”，比如大学未毕业就开始创业的比尔盖茨，比如11岁就开始自己投资股票的巴菲特，比如当年勇敢走出北大开创新东方的俞敏洪老师。而说我的这位朋友幸运，是因为他的母亲在他很小的时候就对他进行了启蒙性，任务型教育。这种教育不给压力，只给激励和协助，不给权威，只给兴趣和成就感。这种教育的种子慢慢发芽，最后长成了气宇非凡的参天大树。这种教育方式让人的双脚能更加坚实地站在地平面上，面对选择与诱惑不再犹豫不决。这位朋友后来竟然拒绝了世界第一学府哈佛的博士学位，回国选择了自己喜欢的生活方式，让人除了佩服还是佩服。我相信他一定不会为这个选择而后悔，因为这是他“自己的”选择，“自己的”人生。他的母亲给了孩子最好的两样礼物-自由和爱。成功的教育不是一种技术，而是一种艺术。自由使人成为人，爱使人成为人，艺术使人成为人。

写到这里，眼前仿佛又浮现出很多同学无助的脸孔，或在鼓里，或在井中...希望这段文字能给大家一点方向，让我们勇敢走出眼前的“鼓”和“井”，勇敢地作自己，做一个快乐的“山上人”，做一个快乐的“天上人”！

其他两个人的话有些很不专业，不正确，可以自动屏蔽。

最近看了很多MJ的视频，下载了很多他的作品，在暑假班也给同学们放了很多MJ的访谈和演出片断，大家都为他的天才所惊叹，当然我也是。我对MJ开始了解是在1999年，看了他的吉隆坡演唱会视频，才知道原来世界上还有这样的声音，这样的节奏，这样的舞蹈。后来断断续续听到了很多他的负面消息，没有办法去求证事情的真伪，大概就像麦当娜说的，我们都在忙于自己的事情，很少有人真正去关心他，我当时只是觉得他的生活怎么会受到这么多的人关注，他怎么总是动自己的鼻子，为什么要化妆，为什么抱着孩子在阳台上抖，他太奇怪了。之后再没听到他的消息，再之后听到了他要在伦敦开演唱会的消息，再之后竟然传来了他突然去世的噩耗。也许是这个噩耗来得太突然了，也许是因为曾经对他的吉隆坡情结，我开始在网上找他的视频，和麦当娜的感受一样，我开始为自己的发现所惊叹，他的音乐和舞蹈造诣的结合是前无古人的，也许也会是后无来者。之后无意中发现了1993年oprah对他的专访。那是我第一次看到他和别人交谈时的样子，他儒雅，清新，亲切的气质不仅倾倒了我，也倾倒了之后我的班级的很多同学，男同学和女同学..能让男性女性都喜欢的人只有一种可能，就是拥有美好心灵的人，他不是在用文字装饰自己，不是在用华服装饰自己，他的眼睛可以直接和你的心灵对话，他是在用爱和人交流。正是因为这个原因，虽然他已离世，但他的精神和爱不朽，从这个角度说，我相信他得到了永生。

虽然迟了些，可我还是很想知道为什么之前人们，包括我自己会对他有那么多的误解。读了他的自传，看了很多他的访谈和纪录片和报道后我终于解开了当年的疑问。皮肤他根本就没有染，只是不幸得了白癜风，全身要涂浓粉来遮盖，这点从他的手掌就可以看出来，有时照片上的手掌是白色，有时是黑人肤色，白色时是刚上完妆的缘故，黑色时是粉被粉丝握掉了，而且到现在我们也没有全身漂白的技术，只有全身晒黑的喷射法。

（胸部白癜风很明显）

（被美国警察虐待的腿伤，其上白癜风清晰可见）

而他的鼻子之所以经过几次手术是由于他儿时的阴影。他暴虐的父亲嘲笑他"fat nose"，他恨他的父亲，也恨自己的鼻子，从此便产生了心结，而也许是中间的手术不够成功，后来又做了几次修复。而他对孩子的偏爱也是对自己被剥夺的童年的补偿，包括他的家也是按照小飞侠的寻梦岛的设计建成的，里面的陈设充满了童趣，看得出他的心理就是个没有长大的孩子。而这一切在世人的眼中变得如此奇怪，只是因为他的生活方式和别人不一样。从此以后媒体没有停止过对他的骚扰，他们追踪他的一切，无中生有，而美国警方的白人警察甚至在93年调查虐童案时对他用刑，使他身体伤痕累累，他们还对他的身体拍照，对他的侮辱无不用其极，原因就是种族歧视和嫉妒。后来MJ被无罪释放，但没过几年，又一个男孩对他提起诉讼说他虐童，最后也已无罪结束。可是在此之间，他心力交瘁，那些告他的人为的是钱，可是他们不知道，他们毁了一个音乐奇才的人生。具有讽刺意味的是，在他过世后3天，当年告他的男童就站出来承认自己是诬告，而当年曾破坏他演唱会的人也站出来道歉，这才使我们逐渐了解了真正的Michael Jackson.而当年拍记录片“living with Michael Jackson"的美国记者 Martin Bashir也开始在电视上公开对MJ道歉，因为他当年狭隘的报道（包括诬陷mj多处整容，性变态，故意把mj在阳台抱孩子的镜头放慢误导大众认为他是个变态的父亲），使很多观众对MJ产生了误解。他把自己所有的偏见集合在了一起，把视频断章取义，把MJ描述成了一个变态的魔鬼。MJ没有告他，也没有告那个男童，他的宽容一直持续到他生命的尽头。没有人愿意告诉人们他的博爱-一个人独资资助世界上39个慈善机构，捐助超过3亿美元...

也许是想和他的生活补上一些交集，总想为他做点什么。无意中知道Martin Bashir竟然就是我的一个朋友的同事，他们的办公室离得很近，所以从朋友处要来了Martin Bashir的联系方式，我准备给他写一封电邮，告诉他他是多么的狭隘，他应该为自己的行为感到羞愧，告诉他：你不杀MJ,MJ却因你而死。就算你现在在ABC的专栏做得再好，你永远都是一个庸人，活着没有意义。

看了麦当娜的致词，一时感慨万千，于是就有了上面的文字,也希望看到这段文字的人能对MJ有真正的了解。

在心里默默地再一次向Michael Jackson致敬，向人性致敬，向神性致敬。

Long Live the King.

2009MTV音乐录影带大奖（VMA）的开场永远是最值得人回味的时刻，而邀请Queen of pop Madonna开场致辞绝对是世界乐迷们最满意的嘉宾. Madonna以一身黑色拉链夹克搭配黑色裙子的装扮走上没有灯光的舞台，做出了感人肺腑的发言——向已故流行之王MJ致敬。以下是她的致辞：迈克尔杰克逊出生于1958年8月。我也是。迈克尔杰克逊是在美国中西部的郊区长大的，而我也是。迈克尔杰克逊有八个兄弟姐妹，我也有。在迈克尔杰克逊年仅6岁的时候，他便成为了一个超级巨星，或许更是世界上最多人钟爱的小孩。而我6岁的时候，母亲永远离开了我。我从没有拥有过母爱，而他却从来没有享受过童年。当一个人意识到永远得不到某种东西时，他就会对此念念不忘。我耗尽了童年寻找母亲的形象，相比起MJ我是成功的。当你的一生都被安置在放大镜下被人关注时，试问你是如何重新找回你的童年？毫无以为MJ是世界上最伟大的天才之一。当他还是个8岁的小孩时，他的歌声已经让人感觉像个饱经沧桑的成人在述说他的故事，也因此扣人心弦……他的音乐有一种魔力，让你不仅仅想随之而舞，更让你相信你可以飞翔，勇于面对自己的梦想，成为任何你想成为的人。因为这就是英雄的影响力！而迈克尔?杰克逊就是个英雄！他在世界最大的体育场演出，他的专辑销量过亿，他和世界各国总统共进晚餐，男孩女孩都喜欢他，他看起来不像凡人，但他也是个血肉之躯。他生性害羞，总在寻找安全感。我无法说我们是很要好的朋友，但是在1991年我想更进一步认识他，邀请他共度晚餐：我说：“我请客，我开车，只有你和我。”他答应了，并只身一人不带保镖出现在我门口中。我开车和他出去，天已经很黑的可他仍然戴着他的墨镜。于是我说：“迈克尔，我觉得我是在跟这部车说话。你能把眼睛摘掉让我看见你的眼睛吗？”他犹豫了一会儿然后把眼镜扔出窗外，用闪烁的眼睛看着我，笑着说：“现在你能看见我了没？有没有好点？”在这时我终于感受到他的脆弱和他的魅力. 在晚餐其他时间，我是让他吃薯条，喝葡萄酒，吃甜点，说脏话。这些事情他好像从来没有做过，我让他来自己做。后来，我们回到我家看电影，和他在一起就像两个孩子坐在沙发上，在影片的中间他的手搭在了我的手上。我感觉到他在寻找朋友而不是一段恋情，很高兴当时我可以在他身边让他依靠。他不像巨星，而是人。后来我们又约会了几次但由于种种原因我们失去了联系。后来虐童案爆发了，再后来灾难一个又一个地降临到迈克的身上。我可以体会他的痛苦。我很清楚当一个人走在街上而全世界似乎都与你为敌的感觉，我也很清楚那种无助和无法为自己辩护的痛苦，因为那些嘶吼着要将你处死的声音实在太大，以至于无论你如何大声否认也没人听见。但我毕竟有童年，有可以犯错的机会，有决定自己生活道路的权力，不必在乎别人怎么说。当我第一次听到MJ去世的消息时，我正在伦敦，准备几天后的巡回演唱会，我的演唱会地点正式MJ一周以后要演出的地点。而我当时的感觉便是我遗弃了他，我们都遗弃了他！是我们把这个举世罕见的巨星推下了山崖……当他试图建立自己的家庭和重拾他的事业时，我们都忙于对他做出评定。我们中的大部分人都拒绝了他。为了留住对他的记忆，我在午夜到网上找寻观看MJ的演出视频。我边看边想，我的上帝，他如此具有创造力，与众不同，稀世罕见..这个世界上不会再出现第二个他了。他是一位帝王。但他也是常人，我们都是。有时我们总是失去了宝贵的东西才知道珍惜。最后，我想以一个积极乐观的方式结束我的发言。我的两个儿子，9岁和4岁，都非常痴迷于MJ，成天都在家里跳月球步，就好像全世界新一代的小孩儿们发现了杰克逊的天赋，并将他重新复活一样。我希望无论迈克尔现在身在何处，看到这一些时都是面带微笑的。是的，迈克尔·杰克逊是一个人，但该死的，他就是一个王者！一个永世长存的王！

烟台的黄昏很美，云如夕阳下的海洋。

夕阳醉了，very sexy color isn't it?

哈哈，这张很好玩，也是在蓬莱，我刚买的扇子，突然想起了小时候看过的《戏说乾隆》

I'm back from a vacation today, and in this tour, I had a lot of fun. And, I took rollercoaster, can you believe it, LOL.My colleagues were quite surprised by my doing so and I told them courage has a lot to do with your health. Going to gym has benefited me a lot and that's why I dared to get on the rollercoaster , because I felt my heart was strong enough and so were other parts of my body. It was a lot of fun taking risks, you can know something you had never known about yourself , and be a "tough" person.

Getting close to the ocean is anther dear thing to me, it erased all the troubles and worries and made me amazed by the vastness and beauty of nature. We are the world, we are the children. I wish I could live there forever..

Another thing I got from this trip was friendship. Me and other 3 friends made a "group", I haven't named it yet, maybe"F4" is too gross, LOL. But we helped each other and we designed our tour by our creativity other than following the traditional routine to do all the recommanded "must"s..We even took the city bus and almost got lost. We also flied a "Kongming light", wrote many wishes on it, wishing the world peaceful, wishing all my loved ones, including you guys, happy and healthy, wishing MJ rest in peace..

Here are some of the pix , enjoy!

Love and peace,

Rose
