来补概述啦！！！！
An online survey of more than 200000 people in 189 countries published by Boston Consulting Group. It found that two-third of respondents would consider to work abroad, and one-five of them already had. This respondents are high education, and aged 20-50. Most of them were attractive to companies. For no-Americans, the first city they would contemplate working in is London. The next is New York. No body want to work in China or other Asia country. And the language is the main deterrent. But the workers need to realized that the pool of the competitors for the best jobs is bigger than before, they should  get some experience to improve their skill to win the competition.

今天继续4篇 the economist
Technological revolutions disrupts more jobs, more works will be employable only at lower wages. There are three reasons. First, the intelligence machine is threatened the workers jobs. They would compete with machines. Second, the wealth creation in digital era has generated little employment. Many wealth firm has very little employees. Third, these these shifts are now in emerging economies. The wedge between a elite and ordinary people will be larger. The governments can mitigate the problem, but they can not solve it. The best thing they can do is raise the productivity and education of less-skilled workers. And we need lifetime learning during this time.

I've read an article from the economist as well as two chapter of a classic book named Democracy in America.
I am amazed by the content of Democracy in America, for the fact in the book that some people who went to the brand-new continent were not actually pariahs- i.e. they went to that place for exploration as well as for the development of human civilization , and they were willing to go for the expedition.Besides , I've learned some interesting history , such as " The emigrants who came at different periods to occupy the territory now covered by the American Union differed from each other in many respects. " Although the language the author uses is a bit difficult for me , I can still read it when I try my best to read.

今天继续4篇 the economist

The first report case in Ebola outbreak is December 2013. In this year, the numbers of death are not just climbing, they accelerating. As of October 8th 8399 case and 4033 deaths has been reported, but many expert think it was underestimated. The most worse thing is that there are no treatments or vaccines that can be used. And the Ebola outbreak could be managed is under suspected. The United States suffered its first Ebola fatality this week. The reason that the explain the outbreak in Africa is the inadequacies of the health-care systems. And the Ebola also engender the economic loss. The World Bank estimated that would be equivalent of 12% GDP in Liberia. How terrible things!!

A room of one’s own: Virginia Woolf   P1-30

查了好多单词:L，明天接着看完，精彩的还在后面
The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy. There are many interesting metaphors and the author wrote about some gender discrimination ironically. The main technique adopted in this short article is the stream of consciousness, which is very common in Woolf’s works.

今天继续the economist

The Ebola has killed over 4000 people now, nearly all in west Africa. But it is clear that it is threaten other country now. American people was diagnosed with the disease when American officials announced that the country are safe. The man was contracted the disease in Liberia then they take the plane to America. He is died in October 8th. Many country are nervous now, they are screening air passengers and use infrared cameras to detect fevers. But the expect say that it was useless. Because people will not get fever very quickly, the machine can not detect it. The best way to stop Ebola is that we should tackling it in west Africa.

Chapter 1  明天接着Chapter 2
In this essay, Woolf talked about several conditions she met in one day which men and women were treated differently.
She thought that women were not allowed to go to library because they didn’t amass great wealth and laid it under the foundations of college and library like men. But why women couldn’t be rich? Because every penny they earned must be handed to their husbands and be disposed of according to their husbands’ wisdom.
She thought about the safety and prosperity of men and the poverty and insecurity of women; and poverty or wealth had what effect on people’s mind.

The economist 关于Malala 一篇，also a feminist

Chapter 2:

Men get confidence by thinking women are inferior to them, by thinking they have some innate superiority. Women are mirrors of all men’s violent and heroic action. But after she received receiving a legacy from her aunt, her attitude to man changed. The money unveiled the sky to her and secure her independence. She began to look at problems more objectively. She imagined that women would take part in all the activities and exertions that were once denied them in a hundred years. Now, it’s almost a hundred years after she wrote this book,  women’s rights indeed make great progress, but gender equality is still not achieved.

I'm back in Chengdu now...As I have mentioned that I flew to Beijing to be one of those who have a close look at Crazyrobin ,I haven't had the access to the internet for my update ,because I didn't bring my laptop with me. Today I actually tried to push myself to read faster than before the novel which I have read called in the Kingdom of ice , only to find that I have a poor understanding of it when I attempt to read it at 200 wpm.According to my memory , Bennett owns a newspaper column called The Herald , one of the most popular at that time according to the novel.He is both a meticulous and weird person , torturing his workers by pushing them to improve their skills of digging news.Later in the novel , He took part in a speed walking competition against his rival who is a strong body builder.And he made it to win the prize.

Chapter 3:
Why no woman wrote a word of that extraordinary literature when every other man was capable of song or sonnet? It is a perennial puzzle for Woolf. First, marriage was not an affair of personal affection, but of family avarice. Women in fiction have burnt like beacons and are even greater than men from the beginning of time, but in real life, she was locked up, beaten and flung about the room. Imaginatively she is of the highest importance; practically she is completely insignificant.

There is nothing known about women before the 18th century. Woolf imagines what would have happened if Shakespeare had a wonderfully gifted sister. She thinks that genius must have existed among women as must have existed among working class, but certainly it never got itself on to paper.

After attending the get-together in THU , I start to pay attention to my reading efficiency. I've practice reading faster than before two passages in the Economist. The first passage was on the matter of plea bargaining , a controversial issue in legal events of America.At first I sped as much as I could , and when I reached 200 wpm , I found that I could hardly understand a thing.Then I realized that I should not read so fast at this stage and I should slow down a little for comprehension...It was such a painful experience , but I believe I'll make it when I stick to it till the end .
