if the world were a village of 100 people
如果世界是个一百人的村落
david j.smith大卫.史密斯 shelath armstrory／谢拉.阿姆斯壮


if we could shrink the earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the exsting human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following
如果我们把全世界的人口按照现有压缩为一个１００人的村子，情况就会如同以下：
there would be
57 asians
21 europeans
10 from the western hemisphere, both north and south
8 africans
这个村子里有：
57人是亚洲人
21人是欧洲人
14人来自西半球的南、北美洲
8人是非洲人
52 would be female
48 would be male
52人是女性
48人是男性
70 would be non-while
30 would be white
70人是有色人种
30人是白人
70 would be non-christian
30 would be christian
70人是非基督教徒
30人是基督徒
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
89人是异性恋者
11人是同性恋者
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world’s wealth
and all 6 would be from the united states.
6人拥有全世界59％的财富
而且这6人全是美国人
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
80人的居住环境不达标准
70人是文盲
50人苦于营养不良
1人濒临死亡边缘；1人正要出生
1(yes, only 1) would have a college education
１ would own a computer
1人（是的，只有１人)会接受大学教育
1人拥有电脑
when one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
透过这个压缩图来放眼我们的世界，就会明晓接纳他人、谅解以及教育是何等重要。
the following is also something to ponder……
再从以下角度来想想看……
if you woke pup this morning with more health than illness……you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
如果你早上醒来的时候健康无恙……那么，比起活不过这一周的百万人来说，你真是幸运多了。
if you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
如果你未曾经历过战争的危险、入狱的孤独、严刑的苦楚、饥饿的痛苦……那么，比起世界上５亿人来，你真是幸运多了。
if you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep… you are richer than 75% of this world.
如果你冰箱里有食物，身上有衣服可穿，有屋篷遮蔽，有地方睡觉……那么，比起世界上７５％的人来，你真是富足多了。
if you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealth.
如果你银行中有存款，钱包中也有钱，还能到某处消费习菜……你便跻身在世界上最富有的８％人口当中了。
if your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare, even in the united stated and canada.
如果你的父母依然健在，而且还在一起生活的话……这可是非常难得的事，即使是在美国与加拿大。
someone once said what goes around comes around.
有人说过：我所付出的终将会回归。
so…
work live you don’t need the money.
love like you’ve never been hurt.
dance like nobody’s watching.
sing like nobody’s listening.
live like it’s heaven on earth.
所以……
去工作时，犹如你不执迷于金钱。
去爱他人，犹如你从未曾被伤害。
去舞蹈吧，犹如无人在一旁观看。
去歌唱吧，犹如无人在一边谛听。
好好地生活，犹如这里是人间乐土。

A Grain of Sand 一粒沙子
William Blake/威廉.布莱克

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild fllower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
从一粒沙子看到一个世界，
从一朵野花看到一个天堂，
把握在你手心里的就是无限，
永恒也就消融于一个时辰。

Teen girls thrive on good looks
Teenage girls are obsessed by their looks and weight, and 11 per cent say the most influential woman in their life is a celebrity.
A survey found the majority of girls aged between 12 - 18 thought if they looked better they would be happier.
Of the 650 teen girls surveyed by Girlfriend magazine, 71 per cent said they had felt depressed.
Body issues were the biggest self-esteem killer for 62 per cent of girls, who said losing weight or being prettier would cheer them up.

Seriously, obesity doesn't worry Dawn
As one of the world's funnest women, it's possible she wasn't being entirely serious.
But size 20 comedian Dawn French - who comes to Brisbane next weekend in her stage show with Jennifer Saunders - says she believes she has a medical disorder called 'body blindness' that stops her wanting to lose weight.
The 51-year-old told a women's magazine that she ignores health warnings about obesity. 'I can honestly say that it doesn't bother me, though i do worry that i'll get so comfortably fat that i won't be able to walk any more,' the French and Saunders star said last week.
Sometimes I'll get out of bed and think, 'Oooh, I need to do some exercise' - but that's probably about once a year, if that.
I think the medical term for my condition is called body blindness. I may ultimately regret not looking after myself more, and plenty of people would line up to tell me that, but it doesn't concern me.
French, who also starred in TV comedy The Vicar of Dibley, is just 152cm tall yet was already a size 16 at the age of 13.

Water challenge
The rise in dam levels to near 60 per cent capacity is something of a second coming for long-suffering southeast qlders.
After years of worry, crippling restrictions and horribly expensive counter-measures, we seem to be well and truly out of the immediate danger zone.
However, with that collective sigh of relief comes a challege that could shape the lifestyles of millions.
Given the comparative abundance of water, how much should we ease the restrictions that have become a fact of life? Can people be trusted to enjoy our new bounty without being extravagant?
...
Do opposites attract, and can opposites last?
Well, yes and no would be the answer. Human beings are not simple creatures. Opposites do indeed attract, sometimes with the unstoppable pull of powerful magnets, whether the relationship makes sense or not.
Some psychologists and relationship experts explain this phenomenon by saying we seek the counterbalance of ourselves in our life partner and therefore all the traits we need to work on in ourselves are reflected to us through our partner. A mirror if you will, to match ourselves with, and to help further develop ourselves into evolved...

[size=1.5em]Lessons to avoid human trafficking
[size=0.85em]By Chen Jia in Beijing and Li Yingqing in Kunming (China Daily)
Updated: 2009-08-20 07:48

Migrant workers外地打工者 are getting free classes warning them about the dangers of child abduction拐卖儿童 and human trafficking贩卖人口, said an official with the Ministry of Public Security公安部.
In an exclusive interview with China Daily, Yang Dong, deputy chief of the criminal investigation department, revealed that free classes on protecting children would be offered to migrant workers.
"Only a few missing persons cases would turn in to trafficking cases if we could get more cooperation from the community and if migrant families could provide more information to help trace the children before they are too far away," Yang said.
From 30,000 to 60,000 children are reported as missing every year, but it is hard to estimate how many trafficking cases that includes, he said.
The pilot project, launched yesterday with the assistance of the National Federation of Women and Children (NFWC) and the United Nations Children's Fund(UNICEF), will be conducted in the villages of Kunming, Yunnan province and Dongguan, Guangdong province.


Landlords and factory owners have been enlisted to inform workers about the classes, because transient families are typically hard to reach.
The classes are part of a national crackdown on human trafficking打击人口贩卖 launched in April, and if successful, they will be rolled out across the country在全国范围内展开.
"I might have lost my 4-year-old twins if I decided to work full time," Guo Caiyun, a 35-year-old housewife who moved to Kunming of Yunnan province months ago, told China Daily yesterday.
"I want to earn more money to support my husband to finish his postgraduate study in Yunnan University, but I changed my mind after participating in the community lessons," she said.
Guo is among the increasing number of migrants in the country whose children face a greater risk of abduction.
"Isolated living conditions in big cities cause urban people not to care about the floating population of migrants living in neighboring houses people do nothing even if they have doubts about strangers who talk with neighbors' children," said Guo Ye, the chief of the division of complaints and appeals under the NFWC.
"In rural areas在农村 the situation gets worse, as people don't always cooperate with police," he said.
Lei Meihua, a senior official with the provincial department of NFWC in Guangdong, told China Daily more than 60 percent of the population in Dongguan are migrant workers, and most work for local factories.
"That's why we need to encourage local entrepreneurs to join in our program," she said.
Bi Yonghong, a 39-year-old landlord in Shageng village of Kunming, told China Daily yesterday she promised to cooperate with the program.
"A missing child is a tragedy for any family, so I have the social responsibility to do a favor for my tenants if they are unaware about children's safety," she said.
To combat child trafficking为打击人口贩卖, the Ministry of Public Security also set up a DNA database to link all the country's 236 DNA laboratories so they can share information.
The database includes DNA of missing children, given by their parents, and samples will be taken from children suspected of having been abducted or vagrant children流浪儿，行乞儿 with an unclear history.
"The national DNA database is particularly helpful for the big migrant population," lawyer Zhang Zhiwei, a volunteer with grassroots NGO Baby Come Home, told China Daily.

[size=1.5em]Flights grounded at Beijing airport during parade
[size=0.85em]By Xin Dingding (China Daily)
Updated: 2009-09-25 07:41

The Beijing capital airport 北京首都机场 will shut down 关闭 for three hours starting from 9:30 am on Oct 1 for the National Day parade 国庆日阅兵, affecting some 180 flights and thousands of passengers.

The capital airport is the busiest airport in the country, with at least 1,000 flights taking off or landing per day, or at least one flight every minute.
A spokesman for the Beijing Capital International Airport said yesterday that it will close its three runways 跑道starting from 9 am, and restart runway lights and navigations systems 导航系统 at noon.

An Air China spokeswoman said that all its domestic flights to and from Beijing during the three hours have been cancelled, but all its international flights will be rescheduled to other times in the day.
"We will rearrange planes to guarantee enough transport capacity and reduce troubles for passengers as much as we can," she said.
She declined to disclose how many Air China flights will be affected.

Air China is based at the capital airport, accounting for nearly 80 percent of the operations in the airport's largest terminal building.
China Southern, another major airline based in Guangzhou, said at least 40 of their flights will be affected.
"But only very few passengers will be affected, as tickets for affected flights stopped sales quite early," a China Southern spokesman said.
Major airlines, including Air China, China Southern and Hainan Airlines, said they will refund or reissue the tickets without charging extra fees for passengers who bought tickets for flights during those three hours.

Similar restrictions were adopted on the opening night of the Olympic Games last year, as more than 300 flights were cancelled or postponed from 7 pm to midnight.
"It is wiser to simply travel at another time. I want to sit in front of the TV and watch the live broadcast of the parade that morning anyway," Beijinger Wang Yingchao said. She planned a trip to Hainan province during Golden Week 黄金周 and has now decided to leave on Oct 3.

Meanwhile, Beijing will see large-scale traffic control 大规模交通管制 on Oct 1 to make way for the National Day parade, officials said.
Since more than 200,000 people and 8,000 vehicles will descend on Tian'anmen Square from all corners of the city for the parade that day, traffic on main streets and ring roads 环线 in downtown Beijing will be affected, said Shao Jie, head of Beijing's traffic command center.
Some 7,000 traffic police will be dispatched onto the streets that day from the wee hours until midnight, he said.

In some areas, such as Tian'anmen Square, Olympic Green, the Summer Palace, Fragrant Hill and along the Badaling expressway, traffic control measures will continue until the end of Golden Week, but trucks will be affected the most, according to a notice issued by the municipal traffic control bureau.
On National Day, some 10,000 residents who live in communities near Tian'anmen Square will also be affected, as they are required to hold temporary passes 持临时通行证to go in and out of their communities on Oct 1.
The special passes will be issued to residents in nine communities of Dashila area until Tuesday at local community committees. Residents should provide their identification certificate to get the passes.

我是楼主老公，同意19楼的。在这基础上，我想补充几点。

1 原本一直死抠大作文，实际发现大作文提高到一定程度后再提高很难。还不如把精力放在小作文上，比较容易提高，说不定差这0.5分就差这儿了。
2 考试时只有你最熟悉的句法或单词才能想起来，其他之前背的90%以上都忘了。在经过了听力和阅读之后，脑子已经不转了，所以当看到考题时，只能拿出自己最熟悉的东西来写。所以多多练习还是比较必要的，至少可以形成自己的写作套路，至少能节约时间。
3 一定要少出现语法或单词拼写错误。在经过大量练习后，时间确实可以变得相对充分些。剩余的几分钟时间可以再检查一下，基本每次都能发现明显错误。在记不清复杂的词的拼写时，建议用一个简单的词代替，也不要冒险用难词。我前几次就是吃了这个亏。
4 推荐慎小懿的“十天突破雅思写作”。我上过他的写作班，后来又买了这本书，发现他课上讲的都是书里的内容，原来600块钱和20块钱没什么差别。他的理论还是不错的，尤其是构思素材的裸奔法，很好用。
5 先写小作文还是先写大作文，是个困扰大家的问题。建议先看题目后，判断哪个好写就先写哪个。

最后再说说口语。我的经验是：要把考官侃晕。如果考官对于你说的内容没什么兴趣的话，估计你的分数也高不到哪儿去。问一句，答一句，马上又转到另一个话题，这种是最危险的。如果考官对的你话题比较感兴趣，说明有戏。但不要说的太多，考官会认为你事先有准备，他会马上转下一个话题。
