e postgraduate entrance reexamination in future, it's ofsearch for knowledge

never give up the persuit of learning
Recently i have been immersed in the works of Mr.Ba Jin .Never before have i shed tears for reading some affecting essays .the reason is very simple.i'm convinced that all of these writers try to magnify or amplify the pains they have suffered and the joys they have had.i never
read any of those essays on the basis of the forementioned reasons.but now, wild fllower
i wonder ,my friends ,have you ever got stuck in them , cut down on food and clothing to buy them,and just want to satisfy yourself?perhaps many of you haven't,for we're not the generation who is so eager in the aquisition of knowledge like our predecessors.we're more likely to be content by fast food rather than advanced litertures or works.
Yesterday,i read some English translations of contenporary prose by famous translator Zhang peiji,who enjoys big fame at home and abroad.as many English recommeded his works ,i began to read his essays sweet day with an emotion love your life of admiration,after all ,the chioce of the majority is always right.in the first anthologies of his,i ran across a passege called《never give up the persuit of learning》,at the first glance of it,it didn't bring too much thoughts to me.however,after reading it ,at least ten times,i gradually realized that there is a general principle in it.,that is we shouldn't give up learning until the day we die.i'm not just repeating what the title tells us.something quite different from sweet and virtuous soul that generats in me.
Forsake learning,and you'll ruin yourself.that's the truth i want to say.before entering to sophomore phase,i wandered around and around.without specific subjectives and goals.i wager that is the right state of most freshmen.they only have ambitions,only.nobody guides them how to realize that,let alone to take them hand in hand go through the perplexed future.sweet spring, all of these were what i had sweet rose suffered in my first year of college.when it comes to the second year,it overwhelmingly seems that everything is on the right track.i take it granted for i'm mature enough to live like this,although i 'm not sure how long this is going to last.interestingly,i imagined once,that i could stop all the process of study and went out to to start working.admitteddly.i used to regard studying in college as something useless.moreover,i could go into scholarship again after working .but BaJin tells that'those refuse to study will most probablely continue to do so even there is a library,those who refuse to do research will continue to do so when the lab is available'.whose hue angry and brave he is right,isn't him?
spending half day browsing through useless websites,cooing with so-called lovers during the prime of your life ,or striving to be a learned man,the choice lie with you. your alma mater is eagerly laughter and joy to see what will become of you ten years from now.

Haveing lunch in Germany
Every day, I have lunch in Canteen(or dining hall), The food is better than I expected. Sometimesshall a light
there are rice covered with dish and poured with sauce, noodle with some seafood. But potato is the most popular staple food. Undoubtedly, you will not find chopsticks. I used to eat with fork,knife and spoon.
One lunch costs 3 to 5 Euro. I think it is fine for me. After all you are living in Europe. ture
This price is very good. It includes a main dish, a small dish of vegetable salad and a dessert.
Our group always eat in Canteen together, but how to make an apointment? They won't say loudly in corridor "go for lunch!". In lunch time, you will hear a ting, somebody is knocking a metal. it means "let us go".
Never cruelly throttle your success by yourself.
he
famous inventor Thomas Edison said: the bright
“Many people who failed in life
didn’t know how close they were to success when they gave up.”
Again
it is a topic on perseverance and persistence.bigger houses
Having experienced a
seemingly endlessly dark and grueling process, people are prone to
giving up before the true ending is uncovered, without knowing that only
if they just insisted a little bit longer, he would have a warm and
comfortable embrace with success. What a shame! If I were that person, I
would feel regretful for the rest of my life. %>_<%
There
is a Japanese Proverb which says: ”the beautiful
If you fall down seven times, simply
stand up eight times!” It is inevitable that people will fail and fall
down sometimes. The most important thing is that they can get up bravely
and insist on their spiny roads leading them to the imminent success.
Only if you strive to get up, then you’ll never be a loser.
Now, are you ready to getlove and truth

The most important thing in travel
This February, soon after the
Spring Festival, I had a tour in Sichuan Provience. On the bus to
Jiuzhaigou Valley, our tour guide Piaget replica watchescomplained:"Your guys just sleeping
when the bus is running, peeing when the bus stops, and when you come
back home, you have no ideas what you've learnedsearch for knowledge
during the tour. " No
one can deny his ingenious conclusion because what he said is the truth.
Then I saw some of us lifted themselves up and focused on the guide's
presentation. Apparently, the guide's words worked.
But his thought-provoking
complaint brought me into an interesting question: what is the most
important thing in a tour? The guide may think that tourists must learn
something, otherwise, travel would become meaningless to them. But I
think our moods are ultimately important when we are travelling more liberty
around.
Living in this modern world
with fast pace, people are under too much pressure. Travel offers great
opportunities for us to really relax and you can take your mind off your
own troubles and concerns when you are approaching to spectacular
landscapes or sublime ancient palaces. It doesn't matter whether you can
remember all the scenic spots or know the backgrounds of historic
relics by rote. Today's world is filled with all kinds of information,
you can learn whatever you are interested in on the rolex daytona replicaInternet, in books
or in documentary films.
Perhaps we have already got
used to enduring a heavy burden and living a busy life, and when we put
ourselves into a carefree trip, suddenly, we feel lost,jacob and company replica watches because we
simply don't understand what is relaxation and how to relax. How
pathetic!
My visit to the USA
I am lucky to have the opportunity to study in the Washingtonwhose hue angry and brave
DC for one year, and seven months sweet spring,
have already passed. I would like to share my feelings to you if you are also interested in going abroad.
First of all, most Americans are very kind people. The most common words thatlaughter and joy I heard are " Have a good day". The Americans usually say simple words, but quite fast. You have to get used to their fast speaking. However, if you want to speak like a American, you must keep on studying every day. English words are much more abundant than Chinese. Only speaking is not enough, you need also to do some reading, listening. Though there are frustrations along the way, sweet and virtuous soul there are also some interesting experience. Enjoy the experience!
Additionally, I am taking classes in the George Washington sweet day University. The adviser and the students look like friends, and the students are just call their advisor's name. Their teaching method is similar to ours, but the teacher will not forget to mention " Any questions?" before the class over every time. I often have no question because I can not understand well. However, the teacher usually give us papers and PPT to read after class, which is quite sweet rose important to me to review before the exam.
I do not like to write a lot, but I will keep on writing! See you around.

Personality, in my understanding
Personality, in my understanding, is what defines a particular person, therefore, while personalities may have great resemblance between two people. It is still believed that each set of personalities of two different possessors should differ at some point, love your life
just like fingerprints. It seems much easier to embrace a genetic interpretation towards personality differentiation. Like son, like father, it is reasonably understood by many people that an offspring takes after his or her parents. Every one of us obtains an unique genetic code, however, it is stillthe beautiful
far-fetched to attribute personality differentiation to genes for we have numerous examples to show that children more than often fall out with their parents and have their own opinions against that of their parents. If personality truly originates from previous generations, we should be able to see a strongerture
link between two generations.
A more acceptable argument would be personalities are fostered during a person’s development through the influences brought by his surroundings (school, friends, family, colleagues, social events. etc.). Following our initial statement that there are no identical personalities, we should wake up to the fact nobody lives in an identical environment with another. People go to different schools, havelove and truth different friends, make different decisions and experience different things. Altogether they determine an unique reality for a particular person. Hypothetically, we have this twins who share exactly the same DNA and their parents divorced right upon their birth, for which each of the two gets to live with either mom or dad. Conceivably, by the time they become adults, they should display different personalities even they share the same genetic traits. Similarly, a child who is adopted is likely to resemble his wild fllower or her foster parents in personality instead shall a light of the biological ones only because he or she has a different life experience when living with different people.

Do What Is Worth Doing and Try to Find the Fun of it
Many people say that we should do what we truly like. Yes we’re notsweet rose
supposed to let go of what we really like. The question is that, in many cases, we just cannot do what we dream of. The reasons could be various but are all concerned with reality. We may wish to travel around the world, but how can we come up with the cash that is needed? We may want to start our own business, but where can we get the launching capital and related technology?

To some extent, it all depends on what kind of perception you have and how you look at it.
While one’s attitude is crucial, we have to live a real life. We cannot waste our precious time daydreaming. Action is always more important thansweet spring, thinking.

Because I get along well with my colleagues, so they are willing to give me a hand when I am in trouble.
The accountant, in the foreign trade company, knew that I majored in account in college, so often let me help her with work.

Episode 1: Introduction to Beijing
Ní hǎo all!
My first 10 days in beijing has been eventful and a major culture learning curve.
I
arrived in Beijing early saturday morning (~5:30am) and was greeted by
Lewis, an energetic and smiling Hutong the beautiful
School representative. (I later
found out that Lewis had been to the airport to pick up my flat mates
at midnight that same night and consequently was working off 2 hours
sleep). Lewis and I caught the subway to Andingmen where my apartment
was. After a bit of a mix up I was moved to another apartment near
Guloudajie (literally means drum building big street - we are near a
tourist spot called the Drum Tower). I kind of lucked out because this
apartment is much newer, bigger, and generallylove your life
nicer than most of the
other student apartments and it is located right next to school.
Throughout the morning I was introduced to my 3 flat mates, Matt and
Luz from America/Mexico and Gerhard from Germany and we all started
moving in, unpacking and making the place a little more homely. This
involved breaking the couch at some point.
The
next few days were spent exploringwild fllower
the hutongs around Gulou and working
out where to eat and the best places to find supplies. We are extremely
lucky being in the old part of beijing as there are little hidden
markets everywhere, cheap, family run restaurants and nearby is a
beautiful lake with many vibrant bars and cafes. A few days after I
arrived in Beijing Mat, Luz and I went to one of these markets nearby
and came out feeling high confused and with some exotic vegetables. We
didn't know any hanyu (spoken chinese) sweet and virtuous soul
and were baffled by all these
hand signals the shop owners were doing which made them look like they
wanted to smoke dope, or were playing hand puppets. I'm happy to say
that we ventured to this market again today and I was stoked to be able
to understand all the prices, I was able to bargain and I realised that I
definitely was ripped off that first time. But being ripped off here is
still half the price of food back in Perth so I guess everything is
relative.
There was a major holiday here on
the Monday after I arrived called the sweet spring,
Tomb Sweeping Festival. This
continued til the Wednesday and meant I had no class until the Thursday.
I actually really enjoyed having those five days off as it meant I
could settle in and enjoy getting to know the area before starting
school. During this period Lewis took me to thewhose hue angry and brave
music district of
Beijing and helped me buy a cheap electric sweet rose
guitar to muck around on.
Lewis managed to bargain the price down a bit and we both left the store
with the shop owner asking that I come back and work for him to pay off
all the money that we had saved. Mat, Luz and I also went to the Llama
temple, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden city and Ri sweet day
Tan park. Ri Tan
park is an awesome park to the east of where I live with a beautiful
chinese gardens, lakes, old personthe beautiful
exercising areas (for Mat and Luz),
and a huge outdoor rock climbing wall. Myself and a few of my classmates
spent the afternoon of Easter Sunday rock climbing at Ri Tan which was
really enjoyable. There should be some photos attached to this blog.
Anyway,
I met my class on Thursday and we begun our intensive Mandarin
learning. The class is composed of Myself, Kelvin (Australia), Mat and
Luz (America), Solange (Brasil), Otto (Norway), Natalie (England) and
Gerhard (Germany). We are one of the bigger classes but everyone is
really friendly and excited to learn. I thought that 4 hours of Mandarin
a day might not be enough. I am happy tolaughter and joy
say that 4 hours is definitely
enough. My brain is overloading at 3:30pm everyday (in a good way). I
think we have already learned about 150 characters (whether I can
remember them all perfectly is another story). As our first study group
bonding session we decided to visit Wanfujing snack street after class
on Friday. This busy, bustling street is filled with an exotic range of
chuanr (kebabs). Including bad ass black scorpions (ate it), silkworms
(ate it), tiny scorpions (ate it), sea horse (didn't eat), star fish
(didn't eat), flying lizards (didn't eat), chicken foetuses (didn't
eat), sheep penis (didn't eat), dogsearch for knowledge
intestines (didn't eat), and much
more. Check the photos out.
Anyway, it was a major bonding
experience hahaha. And yes, if you were wondering we have named everyone
in our study group based on the characters from community. Last night
we all went out to a special restaurant to taste Beijing Duck in
Beijing. The duck was Hai keyi.
Overall, it
has been a good first 10 days. Everyone has been really welcoming. My
apartment has begun to feel like home, at least a home away from home.
I'm enjoying learning Mandarin and having the opportunity to
instantaneously practise it on the street. Of more liberty
course, I miss everyone
back home so if you are reading this make sure you get on skype at some
point and have a chat to me while I am here :) I'll try to write in this
blog semi regularly to keep everyone updated as it's hard to remember
everything we have done already! At the moment I am sitting in my
apartment writing this and keeping an eye on the Beijing Air Quality
Index to see when its safe to go for a run. I have been running around
that lake near my house and have even seen some local joggers! (or what
can't be classed as walking). bigger houses
Tomorrow is Luz's (by the way, that is
pronounce Luce) birthday so we are having tortillas tonight to celebrate
(she is mexican be decent) and tomorrow we are having a mahjong class
in the evening and will probably go out afterwards. Yeah, we're HC.
I hope all is well with you and life is going great.
Much love,
Marc
The cheapest solar panel to challenge fossil fuels
Twin Creeks,ture
a solar energy company that has been released
recently, has developed a way to create solar cells that are half the
price of cheaper cells manufactured today, and therefore available to
challenge the hegemony of fossil fuels.search for knowledge
The best of these novel
photovoltaic cells "Twin Creeks" is created with a particle accelerator
of hydrogen ions.
At present, almost all solar
panels are made by cutting a slice with a thickness of 200 microns (0.2
mm) of a block of crystalline silicon. Then add a few electrodes,
covered with a protective glass, and left in a sunny area to generate
electricity through the photovoltaic effect (when photons laughter and joy
strike the
silicon excite electrons and generate a charge). There are two problems
with this approach: as with the sawdust produced when wood is cut, is
lost almost half of the silicon block when cut into slices of 200
micrometers, and secondly, the panels continue to function equally well
if they were thinner than 200 micrometers, but silicon is brittle and
prone to fracturse if too thin.
This is where
the ion cannon ion Twin Creeks, dubbed Hyperion, more liberty
comes into play. If you
look at the picture above,shall a light
the slices of 3 mm thick silicon are placed
around the outer edge of the big wheel with spokes. A particle
accelerator such slices bombarded with ions of hydrogen, and with
exacting control of the voltage of the voltage of the accelerator, the
hydrogen ions accumulate precisely to 20 micrometers from the surface of
each slice. A robotic arm then transports the slices to a furnace where
the ions are expanded into hydrogen gas, bigger houses
which causes the 20-micron
layer thickness is cut up. A metallic reinforcement that is applied for
less fragile (and highly flexible, as shown on the right), and the
remaining silicon slice is taken back to the particle accelerator for
another dose of ions. In one-tenth the thickness and with a considerable
waste much less, is easy to see how Twin Creeksthe beautiful
can halve the cost of
solar cells.
According to Technology Review,
has been considered before ion waves,love and truth
but particle accelerators were
simply too expensive to be commercially viable. This is the other side
of Twin Creeks innovation: they had to make your own particle
accelerator that is "10 times more powerful" (100mA to 1 MeV) than any
other in the market today.
Finally, after all,
if you buy the team Twin Creeks, promises a cost of about 40 cents per
watt, about half the cost of the panels currently coming out of China
(where the vast majority of panels Solar are made). At that price, solar
energy begins to intrude, especially in the energy derived from the
network of oil - but, of course, we still need to create batteries that
can store solar energy during the night. Stanford may have the answer to
this problem, though, having its own Nanobattery endless - and then
there is the lithium ion batteries stimulated with graphene, and perhaps
more realistic, electric cars like the Nissan Leaf model that can
double the praised battery power a house.
