The Bus and the Subway Train

City traffic is a big problem in some cities in the world, especially in big cities. To solve the problem, someone are in favor of developing buses as means of city traffic. Others are in favor of the subway train. Between them,which is the better choice? prom dresses 2012
It is easier to take buses as means of city traffic than the subway trains because buses don't need special roads. But buses have also many disadvantages, some of which are very serious. They may cause louder noise and more traffic accidents. Buses give rise to serious air pollution and traffic jam. In order to stop what buses cause, a large amount of hand must be used to widen the roads. On the contrary, the subway train is of more advantages. Except the difficulty and high cost of building the subway, it is superior to the buses in many aspects.
Taking the advantages and disadvantages together into consideration, I would be in favor of developing the subway train as soon as possible. evening dresses with sleeves

Typhoons and Pacific Ocean storms that come to Taiwan in summertime or fall season. They Are great wind storms; when they strike land they may do great damage. However, the weatherman always knows when one is on the way. He will send out warnings about.

  People can board up their windows and do many other such things to protect themselves if they know about a Typhoon in time. In my house we check our supply of candles and dry-cell batteries in case of a power failure. Also, we save some water in pails because the pump will not work without electricity. Then we like to sit by the door watching the rain and wind blow loudly.

my favourite city

Shanghai is my favorite city. I like it because I was born in there, and a lot of my family members and my friends live there. The shopping in Shanghai is cheaper than here, but it’s expensive in China. I have a lot of things to do there, like: shopping, playing, going to my friend’s home… And there’re also a lot of places that are interesting. In Shanghai, people speak the same language as I do. I was there for 13 years! I left there on August, 18th, 2005. And I was there because I was born in there and I lived there.

There’re a lot of people in Shanghai. The people are like me. We all speak the same language. The people in Shanghai are busy and friendly. And Shanghai is also and international city. It’s beautiful and fancy. There’re a lot of tall buildings. That’s why Shanghai is my favorite city. It’s my home city. I love Shanghai!!!
I’d like to go back to Shanghai, but just for a visit. Although Shanghai is good, I’d like to live here because I’d like to study here. I only get a little homework and the air here is flasher than Shanghai. The weather is hot in Shanghai. And the best time of year to go there is spring, because in spring, the weather is cool and warm. But some people asked me:” Why don’t we go there in the fall? The fall is also cool and warm.” I don’t think so, because in Shanghai, the fall is still very hot. I’d like to recommend this place to other because I want more and more people to know and visit my hometown. I hope if I ask my friends:” Have you ever been to Shanghai? Do you like Shanghai?” The answers shouldn’t be:” No, I haven’t been to Shanghai. And I don’t even know anything about Shanghai!” Now, I’ll recommend you to go to visit Shanghai in summer vacation or winter vacation or spring break or every time you’d like, you’d want, because Shanghai is a very nice city. If you go there, you’ll soon like it! red evening dresses

My dream isn't far away

In my opinion, the movie “ the pursuit of happyness “ is a eaningful film, the hero of the movie is an active man. Though his life was very hard, his wife left because of the situation of their family, his work was also unfortunate, he never gave up and still work hard, then he took care of his little son. He is going after happiness all the time, so his life is running . Time is very importmant to him, he must finish his task on time , or he wouldn’t live a steady life , he has to pay the rent and taxes and so on, but he insist on taking every chance to make his life live better and he believe in himself. Finally, he succeed , his part of life in the movie is moving and real.

Textbooks Should Be

Now, many primary schools and middle schools are recycling textbooks. In my opinion, it’s necessary.
plus size prom dresses

As you know, save paper means save trees and money. Trees also have many advantages, like: to produce oxygen, control the climate. Some trees can produce rubber or medicine etc. Trees are a kind of natural resources. We must protect them.


To print books. We must use a lot of time and people. We have to use electricity and water. In China water is ‘rare’. So we must save it! Save water is everybody’s responsibility.

In a word. I agree with recycle textbooks and I hope we can do this forever!

I will live this day as if it is my last(二)

I will live this day as if it is my last. I have but one life and life is naught but a measurement of time. When I waste one I destroy the other. If I waste today I destroy the last page of my life. Therefore, each hour of this day will I cherish for it can never return. It cannot be banked today to be withdrawn on the morrow, for who can trap the wind? Each minute of this day will I grasp with both hands and fondle with love for its value is beyond price. What dying man can purchase another breath though he willingly give all his gold? What price dare I place on the hours ahead? I will make them priceless!
prom dresses under 100
I will live this day as if it is my last. I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action; doubt I will bury under faith; fear I will dismember with confidence. Where there are idle mouths I will listen not; where there are idle hands I will linger not; where there are idle bodies I will visit not. Henceforth I know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing, and warmth from those I love. I am not a thief. I am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.

I will live this day as if it is my last.
cheap prom dresses 2012
The duties of today I shall fulfill today. Today I shall fondle my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will I hear his cries. Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrow I will have nothing to give, and there will be none to receive.

I will live this day as if it is my last.

And if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make the every hour count and each minute I will trade only for something of value. I will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief, and then I will continue. I will make more calls than ever before. I will sell more goods than ever before. I will earn more gold than ever before. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best. I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.

I will live this day as if it is my last(一)

I will live this day as if it is my last.

And what shall I do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping? First, I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday's misfortunes, yesterday's defeats, yesterday's aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?
plus size prom dresses
Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Will the sun rise where it sets and set where it rises? Can I relive the errors of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterday's wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger than yesterday? Can I take back the evil that was spoken, the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? No. Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.

I will live this day as if it is my last.

And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe? Can tomorrow's sand flow through the glass before today's? Will the sun rise twice this morning? Can I perform tomorrow's deeds while standing in today's path? Can I place tomorrow's gold in today's purse? Can tomorrow's child be born today? Can tomorrow's death cast its shadow backward and darken today's joy? Should I concern myself over events which l may never witness? Should I torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? No! Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and I will think of it no more.
red prom dresses
I will live this day as if it is my last.

This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday's sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and today's hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be? Is there a purpose in nature? Is this my day to excel?

Naked

Chen Xiaolin, 27, quit her job as an accountant in a PR company in Shanghai at the end of last month. She didn’t have another job lined up。 long prom dresses
She simply couldn’t stay working in that office any longer. “I hated my job so much that I even cried sometimes in the morning before going to work,” said Chen。
Chen now plans to take up some professional courses before she finds a new job. She has savings which can support her for the next six months.
Chen is not alone in leaving a job before lining up a new one. What job analysts call “naked” resignation is now a growing trend among young people, according to a recent survey co-conducted by Globe magazine and Sohu.com。More than 43 percent of the 8,064 respondents quit their jobs before finding new ones or were thinking about doing that.More than half of those people said the main reason for doing so was because they got no satisfaction or happiness from their job。
  Su Lin, 26, used to work as a software engineer at Tencent Holdings Limited in Shenzhen. He left his job at the end of last September and spent a whole month traveling in Xinjiang and Sichuan。 
short prom dresses
  “I want to enjoy my life rather than work overtime nonstop,” said Su. “It is necessary for me to take some time to relax and remove negative energy from my body。”  
  The phenomenon of “naked” resignation shows the younger generation downplays the importance of payment or job security and pays more attention to happiness in work, said analysts。 
  “It is a brave and wise move. Nothing is more important than your health and happiness,” said Feng Lijuan, a chief HR expert at 51job.com。 
  Wang Kaiyu, a sociology professor from Anhui University, however, believes young people should take their jobs more seriously。  
  “Your work is where you do your bit for the big society. So you can’t leave it just because you don’t like it any more,” Wang said。
  Li Xin, general manager from Guangzhou branch of Zhaopin.com, also advises against leaving a job just because of the less pleasant side of it。 
  “Some young people quit and take time to search for a perfect job,” said Li, “but there’s no such thing as perfect job。”

Six Words About Work

If someone asked you to sum up in six words what you've learned so far about how to succeed in business, what would you say? When Smith magazine and consulting firm Mercer posed the question last year, they got thousands of entries, which they winnowed down to 400 for a book called Six Words About Work. A sampling of the winners:

"You're not learning if you're comfortable."

"Do one more thing than requested."

"Cutting corners only creates more paperwork."

"Avoid all paintball team-building games."

"Go outside the building to scream."

"Surprise your spouse, not your boss."

"Don't laugh while boss is ranting."

And speaking of bosses, how about a 42-word crash course in how to be a great one? Consider these descriptions of "the best boss I ever had."

"Took responsibilities very seriously, not himself."

"Two ears, one mouth, engaged wisely."

"Asked for ideas, and used them."

Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management

Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
Thirty years have passed, but Odland can't get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman's kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. "It's OK. It wasn't your fault." When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter. prom dresses under 100
Odland isn't the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It's hard to get a dozen CEO's to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, "I could but this place and fire you," or"I know the owner and I could have you fired." Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and Power. cheap prom dresses 2012
The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called, Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management.
"A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person," Swanson says. "I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rode to someone cleaning the tables."

Lieberman

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network. plus size prom dresses
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman's charisma is key. "Food TV isn't about food anymore," says Flay "Its about your personality and finding a way to keep people's eyeballs on your show."
But Lieberman isn't putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new how, Lieberman was back in his won small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for some one to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job. red prom dresses

Other people

When school officials in Kalkaska, Michigan, closed classes last week, the media flocked to the story, portraying the town’s 2,305 students as victims of stingy (吝啬的) taxpayers. There is some truth to that; the property-tax rate here is one-third lower than the state average. But shutting their schools also allowed Kalkask’s educators and the state’s largest teachers’ union, the Michigan Education Association, to make a political point. Their aim was to spur passage of legislation Michigan lawmakers are debating to increase the state’s share of school funding. prom dresses under 100
It was no coincidence that Kalkaska shut its schools two weeks after residents rejected a 28 percent property-tax increase. The school board argued that without the increase it lacked the $1.5 million needed to keep schools open.
But the school system had not done all it could to keep the schools open. Officials declined to borrow against next year’s state aid, they refused to trim extra curricular activities and they did not consider seeking a smaller—perhaps more acceptable—tax increase. In fact, closing early is costing Kalkaska a significant amount, including $600,000 in unemployment payments to teachers and staff and $250,000 in lost state aid. In February, the school system promised teachers and staff two months of retirement payments in case schools closed early, a deal that will cost the district $275,000 more.
Other signs suggest school authorities were at least as eager to make a political statement as to keep schools open. The Michigan Education Association hired a public relations firm to stage a rally marking the school closing, which attracted 14 local and national television stations and networks. The president of the National Education Association, the MEA’s parent organization, flew from Washington, D. C., for the event. And the union tutored school officials in the art of television interviews. School supervisor Doyle Disbrow acknowledges the district could have kept schools open by cutting programs but denies the moves were politically motivated. cheap prom dresses 2012
Michigan lawmakers have reacted angrily to the closings. The state Senate has al ready voted to put the system into receivership and reopen schools immediately; the Michigan House plans to consider the bill this week.

Christian

German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck may be most famous for his military and diplomatic talent, but his legacy includes many of today’s social insurance programs. During the middle of the 19th century, Germany, along with other European nations, experienced an unprecedented rash of workplace deaths and accidents as a result of growing industrialization. Motivated in part by Christian compassion for the helpless as well as a practical political impulse to undercut the support of the socialist labor movement, Chancellor Bismarck created the world’s first workers’ compensation law in 1884.
By 1908, the United States was the only industrial nation in the world that lacked workers’ compensation insurance. America’s injured workers could sue for damages in a court of law, but they still faced a number of tough legal barriers. For example, employees had to prove that their injuries directly resulted from employer negligence and that they themselves were ignorant about potential hazards in the workplace. The first state workers’ compensation law in this country passed in 1911, and the program soon spread throughout the nation.
After World War II, benefit payments to American workers did not keep up with the cost of living. In fact, real benefit levels were lower in the 1970s than they were in the 1940s, and in most states the maximum benefit was below the poverty level for a family of four. In 1970, President Richard Nixon set up a national commission to study the problems of workers’ compensation. Two years later, the commission issued 19 key recommendations, including one that called for increasing compensation benefit levels to 100 percent of the states’ average weekly wages. plus size prom dresses
In fact, the average compensation benefit in America has climbed from 55 percent of the states’ average weekly wages in 1972 to 97 percent today. But, as most studies show, every 10 percent increase in compensation benefits results in a 5 per cent increase in the numbers of workers who file for claims. And with so much more money floating in the workers’ compensation system, it’s not surprising that doctors and lawyers have helped themselves to a large slice of the growing pie. red prom dresses

Spring Festival

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.prom dresses under 100
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. cheap prom dresses 2012

  There was a young man from Leeds,
  Who swallowed a packet of seeds.
  Within just an hour,
  His nose was a flower,

A pivotal time

New research reveals how the arrival of the first plants 470 million years ago triggered a series of ice ages. Led by the Universities of Exeter and Oxford, the study is published in Nature Geoscience. The team set out to identify the effects that the first land plants had on the climate during the Ordovician Period, which ended 444 million years ago. During this period the climate gradually cooled, leading to a series of 'ice ages'. This global cooling was caused by a dramatic reduction in atmospheric carbon, which this research now suggests was triggered by the arrival of plants.

Among the first plants to grow on land were the ancestors of mosses that grow today. This study shows that they extracted minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron from rocks in order to grow. In so doing, they caused chemical weathering of Earth's surface. This had a dramatic impact on the global carbon cycle and subsequently on the climate. It could also have led to a mass extinction of marine life.

The research suggests that the first plants caused the weathering of calcium and magnesium ions from silicate rocks, such as granite, in a process that removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, forming new carbonate rocks in the ocean. This cooled global temperatures by around five degrees Celsius.

In addition, by weathering the nutrients phosphorus and iron from rocks, the first plants increased the quantities of both these nutrients going into the oceans, fuelling productivity there and causing organic carbon burial. This removed yet more carbon from the atmosphere, further cooling the climate by another two to three degrees Celsius. It could also have had a devastating impact on marine life, leading to a mass extinction that has puzzled scientists.

The team used the modern moss, Physcomitrella patens for their study. They placed a number of rocks, with or without moss growing on them, into incubators. Over three months they were able to measure the effects the moss had on the chemical weathering of the rocks.

They then used an Earth system model to establish what difference plants could have made to climate change during the Ordovician Period. cheap prom dresses 2012

One of the lead researchers, Professor Tim Lenton of Geography at the University of Exeter said: "This study demonstrates the powerful effects that plants have on our climate. Although plants are still cooling the Earth's climate by reducing atmospheric carbon levels, they cannot keep up with the speed of today's human-induced climate change. In fact, it would take millions of years for plants to remove current carbon emissions from the atmosphere." purple prom dresses

Professor Liam Dolan of Oxford University, one of the lead researchers, said: "For me the most important take-home message is that the invasion of the land by plants -- a pivotal time in the history of the planet -- brought about huge climate changes. Our discovery emphasises that plants have a central regulatory role in the control of climate: they did yesterday, they do today and they certainly will in the future."

The study was carried out by a team from the Universities of Exeter, Oxford and East Anglia and the John Innes Centre.

Oh!NO

A genetic variant that increases the risk of a common type of stroke has been identified by scientists in a study funded by the Wellcome Trust and published online in Nature Genetics. This is one of the few genetic variants to date to be associated with the risk of stroke, and the discovery opens up new possibilities for treatment. Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide (causing more than one in ten of all deaths and more than six million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization) and is a major cause of chronic disability in high-income countries. As the world's populations age, the impact of stroke on wellbeing is likely to increase further.

Several different mechanisms underlie strokes. One of the most common types is when blood flow is impaired because of a blockage to one or more of the large arteries supplying blood to the brain -- large artery ischaemic stroke. This accounts for more than one-third of all strokes.

Researchers from St George's, University of London, and Oxford University, working with scientists from Europe, America and Australia in one of the largest genetic studies of stroke to date, compared the genetic make-up of 10 000 people who had suffered from a stroke with 40 000 healthy individuals.

The researchers discovered an alteration in a gene called HDAC9 that affects a person's risk of large artery ischaemic stroke. This variant occurs on about 10 per cent of human chromosomes. Those people who carry two copies of the variant (one inherited from each parent) have nearly twice the risk for this type of stroke than those with no copies of the variant. plus size prom dresses

The protein produced by HDAC9 is already known to have a role in the formation of muscle tissue and heart development; however, the exact mechanism by which the genetic variant increases the risk of stroke is not yet known. A better understanding of the mechanism could lead to new drugs to treat or prevent stroke, although the researchers stress that this is still some way off. red prom dresses

Professor Hugh Markus, from St George's, University of London, who co-led the study, says: "This discovery identifies a completely new mechanism for causing stroke. The next step is to determine in more detail the relationship between HDAC9 and stroke and see whether we can develop new treatments that reduce the risk of stroke. prom dresses under 100

Accession to the WTO

 Dress and said harshly: "When can I put a yellow mayor, that's what the 200,000 ball gown."  Wu Lin asked, prom dress stores softly blue sky old. When he says with a smile: "prom dress how do you know, this problem can go to ask short evening dress prom dress themselves, or the younger generation in the first master of the high old baby grandson." They hear the words of short prom dresses, high gold mine once said with a smile: "Son Wyatt's younger brother who is a sense of proportion, and prom dresses for this car have some understanding of the short-term, prom girl self-protection should not be a problem." Wang Junyang understand the question: "short prom dresses in the end? How, although he will be short yellow prom dress exchange days?" Lin old said gravely: "The short prom dress is a dress to save their people, the actions are short-term arrangements for his own and prom dresses. Prom dresses in advance what they do not know, and accession to the WTO will have flown the most elite manpower to assist short-term prom dresses, and even the Duke of Zhou Yan Biao and I have come, prom dresses on sale but Wu Xiaozi to the prom dress are another short-term task and should be back on soon. " "WTO accession will?" Wu sky puzzled asked: "how short prom dress has a big face? Yan Biao and the Duke of Zhou is no ordinary small fry." High gold mine with a smile: "Because short prom dress is the second entry into the WTO will be a visiting." "What?! Accession to the WTO will be a visiting?!" Is not just blue sky Wu, Wang Junyang is old Lin also spent. See the forest the old expression, if high gold mine found himself too far, and how to dressIn this matter without the knowledge of forest and old? It stands to reason accession to the WTO will be a visiting in the eyes of the old forest will be more advantages in the short prom dress and the relationship between the Lin family inside

Toppled the yellow dress days

Exactly is the fourth. Party dress I remember correctly, right? " Huang Jing angry teeth, nodded and said: "evening dress I remember correctly, is this an answer? Then dress also ask a question." Dress robust, quickly nodded and said: "This is the problem, black prom dresses the fifth issue of dress has also been asked over, Oh, it asked the two ball gown." Completely, although he served the devil, but what do? Only the appointment, yellow prom dresses said: "Well, evening dress can ask three questions, ask questions after prom dresses have it." Dress, smiling, said: "Rest assured, cocktail dresses prom dresses will dress the opportunity, but if you do not fit in evening dress ball gown, then this game may end at any time." "Evening dress, although he does not want to ......" immediately wake up, dress daggers abruptly just want to ask a question out and swallowed, short cocktail dresses good insurance, ah, there was almost fooled. "Hey, smarter, good good, now have the ball they play with dress. Prom dress to ask." Dress slowly playing music inside the car keys, but the music does not always ring. Short prom dress, although he did not see the words, and quickly said: "evening dress quickly asked ah." "Dress the real name?" Dress casually asked, his hands still do not leave those seemingly ordinary button. "Cheap dress." "Evening dress are the details of the scheme is that?" Cheap dress surprised a moment, said: "the specific content of a lot of prom dresses do not want to put it specifically, but it is a waste of time." "Can be the key to a simple statement of what there next move, in short, the entire contents of the plan." "The first step, attack on convoy kills Wu sky, the second step by the incident toppled Huangtian Qing Li C City refused to go along with their official dress ball, the third step is to focus on entry into the WTO will deal with." Inexpensive simple dress that a number of steps, very clever to avoid all the key places. "Prom dress is to ask specific content, not the outline.
