澳大利亚的黄金海岸每年吸引大约两百万的游客:有从欧洲的徒步旅行者和波西米亚人,也有悉尼和墨尔本的狂赌者。这里像粉笔似的白色沙滩,怡人的气候和不时的迁徙的海豚和鲸鱼吸引着大量的游客从世界各个角落蜂拥而来。
看了一篇有感触地文章,放这里和大家共享,给自己家里存点好咚咚
《波士顿环球报》:美国一些专家给大学新生的建议。
1.走出图书馆。你可以拿到学位,有很高的平均分,但仍然没有为实际工作做好准备。大学是4年人生经历,不是几十个学分。
2.在你的宿舍里开始做生意。记住,雅虎、Google都会争先恐后地买你弄出来的网站。
3.别债务缠身。在普通的州立大学和名牌但昂贵的私立大学之间,最好选择前者。因为目前州立大学质量很好。从个人前途上看,无债一身轻比花钱买个名牌要有利得多。
4.积极参加校园的活动。比如有个二年级的学生去年给新生当校园导游,今年成了导游部的主任。通过这种活动,她学会了怎么理解、帮助别人和与人沟通。这在美国文化中,是所谓“领袖素质”的基础,找工作时会让别人另眼相看。
5.不要读文科博士,除非你离了学术不能活。美国

As soon as possible! 尽可能快!

at San Francisco. She and her colleagues were doing a large scale
sleep study when they came across a mother and daughter who had an
unusual change to their genetic code. Both had the same
mutation of a gene known to help regulate the body
clocks of animals.
傅颖慧是旧金山加利福尼亚大学的一名神经病学家,她和她的同事们偶然发现一对母女的遗传密码发生了异常变化——她们体内一种众所周知有助调节动物生物钟的基因发生了同样的突变,于是他们进行了一项大规模的睡眠研究。

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (right) defends her sister Jessica in the
December issue of Women's Health magazine.
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz wants people to stop calling her big
sister Jessica fat, the singer-turned actress told Women's Health
magazine.
阿什利·辛普森希望人们不要再说她姐姐杰西卡·辛普森胖了,这位由歌手转型的女演员在接受《Women’s

friend asks me “Why Chinese don’t go Dutch?” So I want to
regard this question as the topic and write an article. As everyone
knows, Occidental will go Dutch while having a meal in the
restaurant. But Chinese don’t go Dutch. Chinese will pay the bill
and check out generously. Occidental don’t often entertain guests;
but Chinese often invite friend to dinner. A lot of Occidentals
feel puzzled to this question。
一个朋友问我:“为什么中国人不是各付各的钱?”所以我要写一篇文章把这个问题作为关注的焦点。
正像每个人都知道的那样,西方人在饭店吃饭往往都是AA制,而中国人却慷慨地把别人的也一起给付了。西方人不常款待客人,而中国人却经常邀请朋友吃饭。许多西方人对此感到困惑不解。
Why exists such a difference? Because of the East and West
culture and custom are different on the surface. I will analyze
this question concretely。
为什么存在这样的差别呢?表面上的原因是由于东西方文化的差异。我将具体分析其中道理。
