"Don't answer it, " I said to Sam. Our door in the inner city is constantly knocked on; our previous door in the suburbs rarely so. Sam has a full-time job and cannot spend his days answering requests to fix leaking baths or carry cash to the bank.

Sam opened the door and it was Mervin.

"There's a bird on the second floor, " he said. "Ifs in trouble."

Sam followed Mervin upstairs. Mervin pointed and turned to let Sam look. It was a pigeon, the most common of all birds, the bird most likely to foul (弄脏) your newly washed car. And it wasn't flying away. It was stamping in circles. As Sam bent to look, Mervin coughed, "Number two."

Sam asked him to repeat that. "Number two, " Mervin said. "The pigeon has been sitting in his own number two, and now it's stuck to his foot."

It had rained for five days, and the bird was young. It could have been sheltering in a wet nest of its own waste, which had then dried on its foot, preventing it from flying away. The pigeon moved in a few more circles. Sam bent to take another look. Mervin said, "All right, then." and walked away.

"Why does everyone think you must solve the problems around here?" I said to Sam when he returned with his story. "It's a bird. Just leave it on the stairs, and let nature take its course." Sam didn't agree. Then he went to the garage and emptied the cardboard box containing our imported camping mats. He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it.

They put its foot in the warm water bath and got rid of its waste. Immediately the pigeon erupted in a bomb of feathers and began flying.

    Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.

    The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper"-a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.

    This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper" caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.

    This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.

"It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学)on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.

"China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement. "Of course, only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China-some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese." Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs-and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hil.

For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China-its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."

Learning another language is not easy, but most people can learn a second language well if they are willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.  

 Language learning is cumulative(积累): you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark.

Distribute(分配)your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day

Study a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during half an hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing conversations, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10minutes learning new grammar…About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation(背诵) or practice.

Take part in every class — even if you aren't well prepared

Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. Spend a few minutes "warming up" before each class by speaking or reading the language.

Make yourself comfortable in the classroom

Get to know your classmates, so you will feel you are among friends.For example: you explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.

Learn grammar if you don't already know it

Grammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.

Practice for tests by doing what you'll have to do on the test

If the test will require you to write, then study by writing--including spelling and accents.Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms. Over learning is also required in tests preparation: study beyond the paints of recognition to mastery.

Develop a good attitude

Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.

A. Study every day.

B. Have more practice in listening.

C. So you'll at least have looked at it all.

D. If you're asked to listen, practice listening.

E. Class time is your best opportunity to practice.

F. Visit your teacher during office hours to get acquainted (熟悉的).

G. The more you study, the higher mark you will get.

Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience: the iPad.

Instead of looking at nature, I1my e-mail. Instead of paddling an old boat, I2my Twitter feed. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four3each morning.

And that was the problem: I was acting4I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my head wasn't.

So this year I made up my mind to try something5: getting away from the Internet. I knew it wouldn't be easy, since I'm not good at self-control. But I was determined. I started by6 the iPad to my wife. Then, a stroke of luck: The cell phone signal at our cabin was7than in the past, meaning that I couldn't cheat. I was8, forced to carry out my plan. Largely9from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had little way to connect to the world10radio —and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had no11but to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.

This experience has had a12ending—for now, at least. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I succeeded in my vacation struggle13the Internet. I14realized that it was me, of course, not the iPad, that was the problem.

I knew I had15when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi.

But I hope to resist the temptation(诱惑)to check my e-mail every five minutes,19often leads to following my Twitter feed.

I became interesting in playing football thanks to a small accident. One afternoon where I was in primary school, I was walking by the school playground. Suddenly football feel just in front of me but almost hit me. I stopped the ball and kicked it hardly back to the playground. To everyone's surprising, the ball went into the net. All the football player on the playground cheered loudly, say that I had a talent for football. From now on, I started to play my football with classmates after school. I am a good player now.
