1.18  16：40  跑步

好冷啊......

回家之后似乎一直没能适应这里阴冷的气候（可能在广州呆久了），所以今天决定开始运动啦！

恰好家门口有个活动广场，所以我顶着严寒沿河跑了两个来回（本人对丈量十分没有感觉，所以无法判断自己到底跑了多少路程），沿原路返回时惊觉广场上一角摆放着一些健身器具，心里一阵感激（市政府还是做了些好事的呀），屁颠屁颠跑过去做运动（说不上来名字），不久来了一对祖孙，做着我刚刚用的器材，老奶奶看来是不常运动阿，衣服那叫一个厚，小屁孩呢，从他身上仿佛看到自己当年的风采, 包的严严实实，里三层外三层，整个一粽子，动起来都有些困难。当时我在压腿，双手抱住脚，看得小屁孩目瞪口呆，望着他崇拜的眼神，我又换了另一条腿架上了第三条横杠（多日不练，难免生疏，情有可原）。小屁孩像见到大侠一般笑逐颜开，念念有词，见状我放下腿开始进行前踢腿以及侧踢腿，快准而有力（不愧学过武术阿）。屁孩目不转睛，同时鼻涕慢慢落体......我慈祥的微笑望着屁孩希望他能做些什么，但屁孩明显被我的高超技术吓倒，没什么反应。

“你看你！！！！”老奶奶嚷着一口奇怪的方言，帮小屁孩擦鼻涕。

我在一旁被这孩子崇拜的眼神看得有些许尴尬，所以蹦跳着到他面前拍手，以此鼓励他和我一起运动（用心良苦阿）。他听从了我的建议，转身坚定的踏上了某简易型脚踏器材，与老奶奶一起运动。当下心中油然而生成就感，推行全民健身也是我们作为社会一分子的责任啊......

在我决定走人时，只听啪一声，我转头看，小屁孩从上面摔了，露出白白的屁屁，哈哈......久违的开裆裤......

跑完之后整个人精神了许多，顺便也驱走了寒冷，生命在于运动！！

 

 

 

In my opinion, highways should be given preferential financing.

 

Firstly, highways are the foundation of on-land transportation.

When we are on our way to workplace in the morning, we could see the start of a new busy day. A large amount of cars are running their way one after one on advanced highways. They drive so rapidly and orderly that it just like a flow of water. Perhaps no one takes time to think about what will happen if there are no highways. But we can imagine such a picture immediately—the on-land transportation would be in a server mess. So it is easy to understand that the on-land transportation is based on highways.  

 

Secondly, transportation system, highways in particular, lies as the basis of the social development in various aspects.

In the museum, an exhibition in which you are interested in is on show, and you decided to go there so as to enjoy it; you choose a helpful course in a training center as your summer course, so you have to drive to study; the farmers have just harvest ripe bananas and the fruit needs to be carried to markets. All of these examples are selected from our daily life. They show that transportation is necessary in almost all our activities in the area of culture, education and business. As these fields are crucial to the development of the society, conclusion can be made safely that transportation is thus necessary for social development. It clearly defines the basic position of transportation in the social development. And the big role it plays in our lives would not be replaced by modern communication approaches such as internet and telecommunication. Indeed, these approaches are popular and keep growing, but a considerable part of our practices still relies on transportation system. This claim is quite evident for there are numerous examples like the above three ones existing in our everyday life. And in the transportation system, highway system is more fundamental than others. The first point I made can help explain it— highways serve as the foundation of on-land transportation which makes up the major part of the overall transportation system, so we say that transportation system, especially highways lies as the base of the social development.

  

Thirdly, today's major traffic problem is closely linked with the unfavorable conditions of highways, so improvements in highways meet the demand of resolving the problem comparing with public transportation.

The booming of economy and technology has led to a tremendous increase of private cars. This is an inevitable tendency because it is an inevitable outcome of social progress. It indicates that there would be more and more cars day by day. However, serving as the foundation of cars, the development of highways is slower than that of private cars in some degree. Unscientific layout and supervision, as well as historical circumstances make up the major part of unfavorable conditions of highways. These elements combine together and hinder the improvement of highway system. As a result, highways lack enough capacity to carry such a large amount of cars. Problems arise immediately due to this situation with the mark of severe traffic jam. As we can’t change the tide of the times, we should keep our focus on highways to solve this urgent traffic problem. Such measures as optimizing arrangements before construction, strengthening regulation and upgrading road facilities are all viable ways with significant efficiency and effectiveness. Nevertheless, it is not able for us to achieve all these from public transportation.

Fourthly, public transportation is indeed of significance for a part of the population.

 

It is true that purchasing private cars represents the tendency of the times, but we have to mind the fact that not everyone affords a car or prefer a car. So there is always a group of persons who don’t own cars. This group mainly consists of people who are not rich enough to buy cars and who are not fond of private cars. For this group, few traffic approaches can be adopted in terms of daily transportation. And in most cases, public transportation is an optimal choice in despite of its shortcomings. A majority of this group, therefore, choose to take public transportation. Concerning the disadvantages of public transportation, some of them can be removed through promotion in equipments whereas others can not. For instance, we can equip buses with advanced facilities to create a more comfortable environment; however, we can’t change the crowded condition in buses in busy time thoroughly. This is because this certain part of disadvantages is decided by its nature of public. Nevertheless, it is still meaningful to introduce reasonable improvements to public transportation, since what we developed in possible areas is of significance for the welfares of many people.

   

 Fifthly, the improvement of public transportation doesn’t meet the demand of solving the major traffic problem.

First of all, we can suppose that promotions of public transportation can settle our urgent traffic problem. Obviously, this supposition is proposed because we think that the developments of public transportation can reduce or at least keep the number of cars running on highways. Actually, we can not achieve this effect by simply improving public transportation. As I mentioned above, we can’t change the trend of purchasing private cars, nor can public transportation. While public transportation belongs to public services, private cars represent customized services. And people prefer customized services without doubt. That is to say, once a person gains enough money to enjoy personal services, he would do it without hesitation. However, no matter what kinds of advancements are made to public transportation, its nature will never be changed. Therefore improvements of public transportation can not impact people’s decisions of having private cars which means it wouldn’t have a bearing on the tendency of buying cars. Meanwhile, it can not attract those car-owners to take public transportation instead of their own cars. As a result, it would not reduce the amount of cars on roads. All these points have demonstrated that the basis of our supposition is not appropriate. Therefore, our supposition is a mistake, in other words, the advancement of public transportation doesn’t meet the demand of resolving the major traffic problem.  

 

Last but not the least, because the customer group of public transportation is relatively fixed, which means there is a tiny potential market in public transportation, the investments in it may not bring up the same amount of profits. So if a comparison is made between highways and public transportation, the investments in highways turn out to be more fruitful. Besides the settlement of our major traffic problem which we can gain from the development of highways, public transportation, as part of the on-land transportation system, can also benefit from it.

 

Now we can draw such a conclusion safely: highways should be given preferential financing comparing with public transportation.

 

Fourth, public transportation is indeed of significance for part of the population.

It is true that purchasing private cars represents the tendency of the times, but we have to mind the fact that there is always a group of persons who don’t own cars. For this group, maybe public transportation is the optimal choice though buses are often late and crowded and metro stations are quite far away. In other words, before they become persons who have private cars, they still take public transportation regardless of its disadvantages.

 

Fifth, the improvement of public transportation doesn’t meet the demand of solving traffic problem.

As I mentioned in the above point, the customer group of public transportation is relatively fixed. That is, those who have cars would not take buses or metro, even if advancements of them are expanded. For whatever progress has taken place, its nature of public will never be changed. However, people now prefer customized services to public services; therefore, public transportation is not a favorable choice for this part of people who already enjoy customized services. Thus the amount of vehicles on highways will not decrease because of public transportation, so increasing input in public transportation would not solve or ease traffic jam.

 

Now we can come to conclusion: As a part of social welfare, the improvement of public transportation enables a certain group of people to benefit from it, however, it doesn’t make big change on the current traffic condition. Highways are serving as basics of transportation system and more importantly, of economy. By enhancing highways, our traffic problem can be solved or eased with high efficiency.

                 Highways or public transportation, which should be given preferential financing?

      My point:Highways should be given preferential finacing.

      Reasons:1).Highways are the foundation of public transportation.

                  2).More and more people choose to buy private cars instead of taking public transportation.

              a.the ecnomic growth enable people to own cars

              b.public transportation has too much disadvantages

第一次在space上写中文还真是不习惯,马上要睡觉了,但是作文还没写,所以上来发下言,补偿一下.

这几天本小姐心情十分低落,前思后想终于找出症结,据初步估计原因有二,如下

其一,结束monterey的课程,有点不适应,没有人告诉我应该做什么,所以觉得很迷茫

其二,随着hh开始着手他的留学计划,我有点悲伤,总觉得分别近在眼前.

如深究,发觉其根源乃本人过分依赖他人.

不过我会努力的......

明天开始cheer up,认真且有效率的备战11月的同传班考试.

我最乖啦,对吧,hh.好想你啊,亲一个.Nighty Night.

Highways and public transportation are very crucial in a city's planning and construction. However, if we have to choose one to be given preferential finacing, maybe people all have their own reasons. In my opinion, highways are prior to public transportation.

There is a saying in China, 'To find a way to become rich, you should get highways first of all'. It's very reasonable. For highways stand for communications in some degree. In past times, these remote villages in China didn't have any highways to the outside world, people there have to stay in the small places all their lives. How can closeness like that bring exchanges to them in terms of commerce, information and products? But if there are highways, then there are ways.

In nowadays, highways play key roles in a city as an increasing amount of private cars congest all the roads. Traffic jam is a nightmare for lots of people. Most of us have experienced it. One of the causes is concerning highways including there aren't enough highways in the city and the layout of roads is not appropriate.

Therefore, building more highways with reasonable layout can meet the demand of transportation.

In China, the number of highways is increasing as its economic progress day by day, however, we still complain about the mess of our traffic as always. Why? This is because the growth of roads can never catch up that of private cars. It takes us several years to build highways, but one day, there are thousands of new cars running in roads. Public transportation is another effective measures we adopt. Government calls for citizens to take buses so as to ease the traffic pressure. However, those relatively rich people still prefer to have private cars and now more and more Chinese can afford a car. So if the government wants to attract more people to utilize public transportion, improving the transportation system is of great significance. For instance, adjusting the schedule and route of buses, sending more buses in busy times, etc.

To sum up, I mean that we should firstly have a way for veichles to drive on, then on this basis, We attach importances to both highways and public transportation in order to improve our living environment for they enhance each other.

 

 

 Why people visit museums?

What's displayed in a museum must be the essence, just like the Louvre Palace in France which is regarded as one of three great museums in the world. Those celebrated arworks such as Venus sculpture and Mona lisa painting are quite familar to us. If one day, I get a chance to visit France, Louvre is definitely the priority of my touring plan. So you see, that's the charm a fantastic museum has. We all hope someday we can stand in the front of it no matter whether we love arts or not.

This question is concerned by both sides.

With regard to the media today, they have to utilize the private lives of famous people in order to stimulate their circulation. Especially under the pressure that less people choose to read news. This rule is not only true to traditional media, but also the websites. That is, because, these "bamboo telegraph" can always draw the attention of people and their interests result in more clickings in the websites.

However, the condition is different among different medias, since each media has its own focus and orientation. It is beyond our imagination that the Finacial Times and Walstreet are full of pictures and articles about which hollywood superstar is falling love again or broke up again.

There are "specialists" all the time. Some certain media's sales point is the information concerning the personal lives of popular stars. Several days before, a well-know singer who is one of the members of singer group' twins' was shooted secretly during her concert in Malaysia. And at that time she was changing her underware. This event arose hot debates in Hongkong and meanwhile, the circulation of this magazine is increasing by a large margine.

In my opinion, as a famous person, sometimes you do have to sacrifice part of your privacy. And if you choose this job, you have to prepare for it. The most important is how deep can media dig into their privacy and the basis is mutual understanding. The media needs superstar, because their faces make up the entertain section; famous people needs media, because the media can spread their information throughout the world.

As I just said the popular stars have to expose part of their privacy to the general public, I don't mean I agree that media can get whatever they want. Still taking the poor girl above as an example, the media involved in this incident is just beyond the "safety level", they hurt her fundemental rights as a humanbeing in some degree. And I learned from internet that the girl have went into the police office. I heartily appreciate her courage for she knows how to protect herself and this event may bring about a more peaceful and standardized media world in HongKong at least.

I think to standardize the entertainment industry, the most crucial factor is 'regulations' which we lacked today. Just like our society can function in harmony because of laws and regulations, this messy sector also need them.

I think that maybe all of us are in face of this problem. And in most cases, the fact is that are we always able to do things we like to do. 

Firstly, in nowadays world, which is full of regulations and we people have to obey them. Among these regulations, there are definetly something we do not enjoy. For instance, when you drive your car to your set destination, but there's infraconstruction taking place in the road, so the notice beside it is: please turn around and drive on another road. And unfortunately, it costs an additional one hour's drive. You could be very angry with it and perhaps curse it especially when what you're going to do is urgent. More unfortunately, you have to accept this bad situation and calm down. There're numerous examples in our daily life.

For me, taking exams is always the last thing I want to do. However, I have to face a great many of examinations in middle school. It is my nightmare when teachers come to the classroom carrying a pile of papers and say that let's have an exam right now. No matter how unfavorable this feeling is, the only I can do is taking a deep breath and smiling bitterly. Just like what Chinese say, to endure and get through painful conditions with a positive attitude.

Then comes the dilemma that sometimes the things we do not enjoy maybe helpful for us. Or in other words, these helpful things are often not so favorable and enjoyble. 

To study when classmates around you are playing games is very hard for a student, but if this can push your scores on to a new lever, would you still choose it? Choices is hard to make, as always. Some people will choose it, perhaps they are going to compete with other fellows in next examination which is a decisive factor for their promising future. So, sometimes we need to do unenjoyable things.

We have heard many many times that just do as you like. That's right, and it is not conflicting with the above words. We can choose what we like to do, however, in this process it is possible you will do what you don't like. You may now learn to play piano, that's exactly what you love, but you can't enjoy every minute of the seemingly endless practices, or the dull finger practices. Or you have to play in front of other people and you are such a shy guy that you're afraid of showing before audiences, but you still have to do, right? If you decides to be a great pianist.

You see, life is beautiful because it gives us roses as well as throns, or we feel happyness as well as sadness. The things you do not enjoy can be quite crucial. So just enjoy everything and cheer you up.
