口语

RA：

Lenient parents

Two sisters were at a dinner party /when the conversation turned to upbringing. /The elder sister started to say/ that her parents had been very strict /and that she had been rather frightened of them./ Her sister, /younger by two years, /interrupted in amazement. /“What are you talking about?” she said./ “Our parents were very lenient.”

Productive Capacity

The core of the problem was the immense disparity between the country‘s productive capacity /and the ability of people to consume. //Great innovations in productive techniques during and after the war/ raised the output of industry /beyond the purchasing capacity of U.S. farmers and wage earners.

Fast food

Hundreds of millions of American people eat fast food every day/ without giving it too much thought,//unaware of the subtle and not so subtle ramifications of their purchases.// They just grab their tray off the counter,/ find a table,/ take a seat,/ unwrap the paper,/ and dig in.// The whole experience is transitory and soon forgotten.

Marketing management

For any marketing course that requires the development of a marketing plan, /such as Marketing Management, Marketing Strategy /and Principles of Marketing, /this is the only planning handbook /that guides students through step by step creation of a customized marketing plan /while offering commercial software to aid in the process.

Weakness

Weakness in electronics, auto and gas station sales dragged down overall retail sales last months, but excluding those three categories, retailers enjoyed healthy inceases across the board, according to government figures released Wednesday. Moreover, December sales numbers were also revised higher.

Father

Ever since I remembered, /father woke up at five thirty every morning,/ made us all breakfast and read newspaper.// After that he would go to work. //He worked as a writer. //It was a long time before I realize he did this for a living.

Akimbo

Akimbo, //this must be one of the odder-looking words /in the language.// It puzzles us in part /because it doesn’t seem to have any relatives. //What's more, //it is now virtually a fossil word,// until recently almost invariably found /in arms akimbo, //a posture in which a person stands with hands /on hips /and elbows sharply bent outward, //one that signals impatience and hostility.

Aviation

-During the 1920s and 1930s great progress was made in the field of aviation, including the first transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown in 1919, Charles Lindbergh's solo transatlantic flight in 1927, and Charles Kingsford Smith's transpacific flight the following year.

-One of the most successful designs of this period was the Douglas DC-3, which became the first airliner to be profitable carrting passengers exclusively, starting the modern era of passenger airling service.

-By the beginnig of World War II, many towns and cities had built airports, and there were numerous qualified pilots available.

-The war brought many innovations to aviation, including the first jet aircraft and the first liquid-fueled rockets.

Carbon detox

• In his fascinating book Carbon Detox, George Marshall argues that people are not persuaded by information.

• Our views are formed by the views of the people with whom we mix.

• Of the narratives that might penetrate these circles, we are more likely to listen to those that offer us some reward.

• He proposes that instead of arguing for sacrifice, environmentalists should show where the rewards might lie.

• We should emphasize the old-fashioned virtues of uniting in the face of a crisis, of resourcefulness and community action

Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget, the pioneering Swiss philosopher and psychologist, spent much of his professional life listening to children, watching children and poring over reports of researchers around the world who were doing the same. He found, to put it most succinctly, that children don't think like grownups. After thousands of interactions with young people often barely old enough to talk, Piaget began to suspect that behind their cute and seemingly illogical utterances were thought processes that had their own kind of order and their own special logic. Einstein called it a discovery “so simple that only a genius could have thought of it.”

Piaget's insight opened a new window into the inner workings of the mind. By the end of a wide-ranging and remarkably prolific research career that spanned nearly 75 years, from his first scientific publication at age 10 to work still in progress when he died at 84, Piaget had developed several new fields of science: developmental psychology, cognitive theory and what came to be called genetic epistemology Although not an educational reformer, he fashioned a way of thinking about children that provided the foundation for today’s education-reform movements. It was a shift comparable to the displacement of stories of "noble savages” and "cannibals” by modem anthropology. One might say that Piaget was the first to take children's thinking seriously.

National Gallery of Canada

An exhibit that brings together for the first-time landscapes painted by French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir comes to the National Gallery of Canada this June. The gallery in Ottawa worked with the National Gallery of London and the Philadelphia Museum of Art to pull together the collection of 60 Renoir paintings from 45 public and private collections.

Omniscience-use of reference books

Omniscience may be a foible of men, but it is not so of books. Knowledge, as Johnson said, is of two kinds, you may know a thing yourself, and you may know where to find it. Now the amount which you may actually know yourself must, at its best, be limited, but what you may know of the sources of information may, with proper training, become almost boundless. And here come the value and use of reference books—the working of one book in connexion with another—and applying your own intelligence to both. By this means we get as near to that omniscient volume which tells everything as ever we shall get, and although the single volume or work which tells everything does not exist, there is a vast number of reference books in existence, a knowledge and proper use of which is essential to every intelligent person. Necessary as I believe reference books to be, they can easily be made to be contributory to idleness, and too mechanical a use should not be made of them.

Australian women novelist

In the literary world, it was an accepted assumption that the 1970s was a time of unprecedented growth in homegrown Australian fiction. And everybody was reading and talking about books by young Australian women.

But it was not until recently that a researcher was able to measure just how many novels were published in that decade, and she found that there had been a decline in novels by Australian writers overall, but confirmed an increase in women's novels.

It is this sort of research - testing ideas about literary history - that is becoming possible with the spread of ‘Digital Humanities.'

The intersection of Humanities and digital technologies is opening up opportunities in the fields of literature, linguistics, history and language that were not possible without computational methods and digitised resources to bring information together in an accessible way.

Transcription software is being developed for turning scans of books and documents into text, as the field of digital humanities really takes off.

First year students

For many first-year students, the University may be their first experience living away from home for an extended period of time. It is a definite break from home. In my point of view this is the best thing that you can do. I know you have to fend for yourself, cook and clean after yourself, basically look after yourself without your parents but the truth is-some time in your life you are going to have to part with lovely Mummy and Daddy. But they are only just a phone call away and it is really good to have some quality time without them. The first few weeks can be a lonely period. There may be concerns about forming friendship. When new students look around, it may seem that everyone else is self-confident and socially successful! The reality is that everyone is having the same concerns.

TV advertising

From a child's point of view, what is the purpose of TV advertising? Is advertising on TV done to give actors the opportunity to take a rest or practice their lines? Or is it done to make people buy things? Furthermore, is the main difference between programs and commercials that commercials are for real, whereas programs are not, or that programs are for kids and commercials for adults? As has been shown several times in the literature, some children are able to distinguish between programs and commercials and are aware of the intent of TV advertising, whereas others are not.

Locust

Fancy a locust for lunch? Probably not, if you live in the west, but else where it’s a different story. Edible insects – termites, stick insects, dragonflies, grasshoppers and giant water bugs – are on the menu for an estimated 80 per cent of the world’s population.

More than 1000 species of insects are served up around the world. For example, “kungu cakes” – made from midges – are a delicacy in parts of Africa. Mexico is an insect-eating – or entomophagous – hotspot, where more than 200 insect species are consumed. Demand is so high that 40 species are now under threat, including white agave worms. These caterpillars of the tequila giant-skipper butterfly fetch around $250 a kilogram.

Eating insects makes nutritional sense. Some contain more protein than meat or fish. The female gypsy moth, for instance, is about 80 per cent protein. Insects can be a good source of vitamins and minerals too: a type of caterpillar (Usta Terpsichore) eaten in Angola is rich in iron, zinc and thiamine. What do they taste like? Ants have a lemon tang, apparently, whereas giant water bugs taste of mint and fire ant pupae of watermelon. You have probably, inadvertently, already tasted some of these things, as insects are often accidental tourists in other types of food. The US Food and Drug Administration even issues guidelines for the number of insect parts allowed in certain foods. For example, it is acceptable for 225 grams of macaroni to contain up to 225 insect fragments.
