Nature gave a unique and superior natural environment to Wuyi mountain. Many Scholars left their literary work about Wuyi mountain and created many cultural heritage. For example，it have 35 former residence of  Zhuxi,Youzuo,Xionghe and Caiyuanding. There are many appealing viewpoint but I want to introduce the most interesting place in Wuyi mountain，it is Jiuquxi. Jiuquxi originated in the dense forests of the Wuyishan National Nature Reserve，a total length of 62.8km. The perfect combination of mountain and water is the most prominent feature in Jiuquxi. You can use the raft down the river to watch the scenery. You best choice for 6、7、8 months to Wuyishan because less people in this time.Jiuquxi have DawangFeng、Xiandiaotai、TianyouFeng act. You can use the raft down the river to watch the scenery.

The transportation is convenient and you don’t worry there have no bus to the airport. Of course，there have all kinds of hotels and they are cheap，but in the holidays the price may be rised. Wuyishan have abundant species.Snakes，rabbits，goats and other animals can be used to cook. Jilongjinsishun，Lanhuashesi，Juhuacaoyu are the specialty of the house in Wuyi mountain.
In short，Wuyi mountain is a worthy place that you spend money and time to taste.

Money is not everything, but without money you can do nothing. This is we all know the proverb. In our life, money occupied a very important position, clothes, food, live, row without money.kind of social phenomenon in a gold diggers. Too much of the money, even to have money to violate the moral and legal bottom line.

there is a story, it looks ridiculous and really. The gold diggers family conditions, parents are ordinary workers of the factory, live a life of nine to five every day, she was the only child in the family, so parents all pay attation to the gold diggers. Dull and happy life. To worship money the female junior high school of time, something wrong happened at the home, the gold diggers woman’s mother had cancer, this is for the ordinary family a bolt from the blue, treat mother’s disease, gold diggers left school, working outside, father also constantly to borrowed money and hardworking jobs. But in the end,they failed to retain mother’s life. Mother’s death for the gold diggers a not acceptable,family loss the warmth, they didn’t break away from the death of the mother, home and rags. Gold diggers often staying out, made a juvenile delinquent, gradually learn to smoke, drink bear, lying finally, she don’t go home directly, she find a rich manthat the man age is same as her father just because he is rich, then she meet the demand of material a woman material. When her dad know, advised gold digger back several times, but it have no effect, then her father decided cut off the relations in a pet,In this way, a happy family is destroyed. Soon, gold digger went home, because the rich man have lover has a new lover, then the woman don’t she, and her father also depression into a disease. Gold diggers are homeless. Gold diggers seemed to understand at this time. In short, it is not an end, the end looked a little dog blood, gold diggers home admitted her mistake, followed by the father and with his father together go to heal, and to ensure that the future must have a good life,care of his father, won’t make mistake before. A family again, that ends it. Grandma often tell the story to me, education I don’t go wrong, whether this is true, it has been far greater than the value of the problem. Thus begins the gold digger’s rebirth.

In fact in the definition of money, the boundaries of each person is different, but there is a moral bottom line, the correct view of money, slowly experience in life except for money and a lot to what we pay, such as family, parents, friends, lovers, etc. To think about when choose, look before you leap.

After World War II, Western-style eating habits affect Hong Kong people by day and even ice room successive rise accordingly, providing cheap imitation of Western food. Icehouse was mainly coffee, tea, red bean ice drinks, snacks sandwiches with butter toast, etc., some of them with a bread factory, manufacturing fresh pineapple buns, egg tarts, etc. Later, the variety of food provided by increasing ice room, and dining room combined with Western restaurant and patterns evolved into today’s tea restaurant serving traditional Chinese fried dishes and European food, and later developed to supper dishes, style can be described as diverse. [1] The earliest tea operated under the name of the restaurant opened in 1946 in Central Orchid Pavilion Cafe, opened in 1952, Hong Kong’s Lan Fong Yuen is the oldest extant cafe.

Come to enjoy it! You won’t regret.

Let’s celebrate Nirvana!

By:Li Erjiou 121105123 Class4

As its second album，a band tentatively named the new work ‘Sheep’ in early 1990s. Then，someone suggested Butch Vig as a potential producer，whose work this band particularly liked, and told him “We want to sound as heavy as previous records.” As recording sessions for the album were completed, the leader of the band，Cobain grew tired of the title and suggested that the new album be named ‘Nevermind’，which Cobain thought was a metaphor for his attitude on life and was grammatically incorrect　as to be catchy．After that, a legendary record came into being，　and this band was none other than Nirvana．

Nirvana was an American rock band that was formed by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987. Nirvana went through a succession of drummers, the longest-lasting being Dave Grohl, who joined the band in 1990. Despite releasing only three full-length studio albums in their seven-year career, Nirvana has come to be regarded as one of the most influential and important rock bands of the modern era.　

There has been a story widely spread since the beginning. As the story unfolds, Nirvana’s last recorded song which had languished undiscovered among unfinished works by the band captures the Seattle trio in a ‘grungier’ and ‘screamier’ mood than their previous final singles, according to the song’s producer. Producer Adam Kasper, who worked on the recording with the pioneer grunge-rock band, said the song with the working title Know Your Rights is ‘a little bit grungier and a little screamier over the chorus’ than Heart-Shaped Box, from In Utero, the final studio release from the band considered one of the most influential groups of the past decade. The cut was completed several months before singer Kurt Cobain’s April 1994 suicide. It’s likely the only finished, unreleased studio track from the band, Kasper said. ‘Know Your Rights is a pretty cool tune almost a Heart-Shaped Box kind of approach,’ Kasper said Friday. ‘It’s not Smells Like Teen Spirit or anything,’ he added, referring to the Nirvana song that became the anthem for the grunge generation, ‘but it’s a nice one to hear.’ Kasper said that Know Your Rights got that working title because that was the phrase Cobain sang in the chorus. Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl said that the final song Nirvana recorded would be included in an upcoming box set. Though Grohl did not name the song, Kasper said it was likely that he was referring to Know Your Rights. Kasper produced the Foo Fighters’ upcoming third album, There Is Nothing Left to Lose.

After nearly 2 decades from the peak to a relative trough these days, suitors of Nirvana now has a chance to recall the good old days. On the 20th anniversary of the song set’s airing, it’s worth considering the performance as a work of music, not mythology. As music, it’s incredible. The band run through a tense and brilliant 14-song set in one scintillating take, something unusual at the time for the popular MTV series, and the result is one of the greatest live albums ever—an unforgettable document of raw tension and artistic genius.

For any visit south of the Yangtze River; one place not to be missed is the town of Wuzhen.Located in the centre of the six ancient towns south of Yangtze River, 17 kilometres north of the city of Tongxiang, the Water Town displays its two-thousand-year history in its ancient stone bridges floating on mild water, its stone pathways between the mottled walls and its delicate wood carvings. Also, setting it apart from other towns, it gives a unique experience through its profound cultural background.

It is said that people have lived here for 7000 years and over time it has produced a galaxy of talents. Mao Dun, an outstanding modern Chinese writer, was born here and his masterpiece, ‘The Lin’s Shop’, describes vividly the life here. In 1991, Wuzhen was authorized as the Provincial Ancient Town of History and Culture, so ranking first among the six ancient towns south of the Yangtze River.

Wandering along the east-west-east circuit created by these six districts, you will enjoy the atmosphere of the traditional cultures and the original ancient features of the town that have been preserved intact.

“Time is what you make of it.” ”Fresh-up with Seven-up” “Good to the last drop”. In recent years, TV screen is filled up with all kinds of advertisements. How do you feel like it? Bothering,  pleasure? Lets have look at ” How long the advertising line is?”

By: Yuexin Hu     130307234      Class3

We are all embedded in an environment dense with advertising that most citizens find intrusive or aversive. How old is advertising?  It depends upon the definition of advertising and whether the writer on the subject wishes to make the art an ancient one.

The ancient history of the advertising

As is known to us all, there was no media exist in the past. The first outdoor advertising is the pedestrian attention widely to form. once upon a time, 50 centuries ago in Egypt, businessmen accustomed to burn on a slate selling information to attract pedestrian interests. At the time, there’s even a poster to the first wooden-paper made of. While there are other ancients thriving culture born of outdoor advertising poster paper appeared inevitable. These ancient states made up rudiment of advertising. Afterwards, set in the industrial revolution, television was created in due course, offering carrier for TV advertising. Regardless of where point of view, there’s no wonder that the new invention was new and modern, opening the way to advertising.

The biggest threat —– mobile

Instead of going to the bathroom or grabbing a beer during commercial breaks, TV watchers are increasingly turning to a new ritual: checking their phones until the show resumes. For advertisers paying top dollar for TV ads, the trend is frustrating, presenting yet another challenge in their quest to gain a share of consumers’ fragmented attention. But Xaxis, the WPP-owned programmatic platform, believes it’s found a way to reach these distracted consumers. The company is introducing a product called “Sync,” which will give advertisers the ability to serve ads on TV watchers’ mobile devices while their TV screens air the corresponding commercials. According to the survey Top 5 Chinese online Ads in 2013, we could see that advertising is consistent to be our No.1 or to be the only one in some ways.

Gone with the wind ?

A big problem swam in our minds for many years. There are many ways to popularize products gradually peter out, will advertising still alive in our future society? Maybe no one can give a certain answer. But as far as I’m concerned, advertising’s success lies in its creativity and content varies with time. So however fast the development in the world, advertising can always keep up with it. A saying going in China: there were no road signs when earth began, they were made by people treading on the ground. I believe that is true in advertising. It is the reason for the existence of the marketing, were there no advertising, there were no advertising on the earth. Will the advertising gone with the wind ?  The answer is more and more sure.

We are firmly convinced that advertising will give us more surprise, redefine the relentless pursuit of perfection.

What is money?someone says it is nothing while others say it is the most important thing in their life and without it they can’t live any longer.  It said:money is not everything ,but without it you can’t do any thing. In my opinion, it is right . but we should also hold a right attitude to it.

What is money?someone says it is nothing while others say it is the most important thing in their life and without it they can’t live any longer.  It said:money is not everything ,but without it you can’t do any thing. In my opinion, it is right . but we should also hold a right attitude to it. You must heard that story that a rich man want to find happyness, at last he found it in a poor man’s life. Sometimes we think that the rich persons are the happiest ones in the world. However, it is not. The more money they have ,the more morose they feel. In fact, without money,we can have an interesting and exciting life aslo. So having lots money or less money is not the important thing , the important thing is weather we are happy or not,is it that make our life full of wonderful thing.
Today, most people can solve the problem of eating and clothing, but there’s a big difference in the shopping, some people like to buy a lot of things, but is a bargain. Some people like to buy expensive things, is often inconsistent with his income. In fact this two kinds of consumer psychology is wrong, we should sell good quality goods, not blindly pursue high price. We should not ask the number to buy things, to the quality requirements, quality good time before long.

With the legalization to allow same-sex marriage in Scotland was passed by the Scottish Parliament in February 2014, until now there are 17 countries have legalized same-sex marriage during the last 14 years (from 2001 in the Netherlands to 2014 in Scotland) and most of them are western countries.Doubtless this is a huge success of the fight for gay pride for LGBT community.

By 120101221  Muyu Li  Class 1

June is coming, and June is the wary month for Gay Pride Parade all over the world. As an annual spectacle at a global scale for the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) community to celebrate their culture and pride, Pride Parade also serves as demonstrations for legal rights such as same-sex marriage. On the Parade, Everyone who is LGBT can voice their opinions and express their belief by bright colored floats, banners, dramatic dressing and makeups, body paintings, singing, dancing and everything you can and dare to do. And of course the most important and typical LGBT sign- the rainbow flags, will fly over the sky and lit up a colorful world.

Although the development of gay marriage legalized and recognized is fast-paced in the latest several years (some people even assert that 2013 is the’ year of the gay’). The shift from crimes to freedom, from sin to rights of being gay is difficult and fraught with hardship. Almost 50 years before, the homosexual acts were still criminalized in the UK, in the US, in China and almost everywhere around the world, as a undue charge of ’sodomy’.

• 1895, the court of England declared the accusation of Oscar Wilde on the ground of “posing as a Sodomite”.
• Alan Turing, the father of computer science, was prosecuted for homosexuality in the year 1952.
• Happened In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, The Stonewall riots, a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid.And the Stonewall riots is widely considered as a pivotal moment leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for gay and lesbian rights

• In 2001, same-sex marriage has been legal in the Netherlands and The Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage.
• In 2011, the implementation of repealing ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ in the military conducted in the USA.
• Legislation to allow same-sex marriage in England and Wales was passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom in July, 2013 and came into force on 13 March 2014.
• Until May 20, 2014, there are 19 states of the USA legally recognize same-sex marriage.

This is history, this is history that created by those who pride to be gay and fight for the pride to be gay. If someone asks about why pride about it? The answer is simple for everyone: When people are out to get you, it takes strength to be brave enough to let the world know who you are. When legislators are making speeches about how you are evil for loving the wrong person, it takes boldness to stand up and get up in their face. When you are persecuted for the way you are born, it takes a certain amount of courage to stand in the face of that, and tell them to back off. You need to be proud of your community and strong in character.

So In reality, “gay pride” is actually “celebration of the ability to be safely, openly, happily gay”
