今天要复活！！！！继续四篇the economist
UChi is the TOP 1 in MBA program for the forth time in five years. The media salary of the new graduate students is 116,302$, and the total tuition fee is 123,040$. This very impressive salaries. And last year 94% of graduates were employed within three months of leaving. As jobs have become scarcer today, UChi also can maintain a strong record of placing people in work. Last year the best MBA school in European was HEC Paris, it have the highest salary. The salary is 123,982$. There are four reasons that why they decide to take an MBA. First, it can open new career opportunities. Then it is a personal development/education experience. And it can increase salary. At last it is a opportunity to network.
MBA，真是好钱途阿！！！

Chapter 4:
In the 18th century, women could make money by writing. But the works of women were all novels with very few exceptions. Why? Because women have to write in the common sitting-room, and writing prose and fiction required less concentration than writing a poetry or a play. They wrote novels because of the environment they living in, however, they may even go further. Woolf thinks Charlotte Bronte has more genius than Jane Austen, but Charlotte didn’t get her genius expressed whole and entirely like Austen.

Men were living freely and could have varied experience of human life, which served him so splendidly later when he writing his books. But women could only write in the common sitting room without much experience of life. There was a flaw in the center of women’s works, because they altered their values in deference to the opinion of men. Here is a fantastic sentence, “ Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt, that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.” Woolf is a very stalwart woman.

I've read several passages from the economist while I have tried to do so at different speeds. I seem to have found the balance of my understanding and speeding. The article involves the thaw of awkward bilateral relation between China and Japan.For historical reasons , both countries have been hostile to each other for quite a long time.For example , past Japanese prime ministers visited Yasukun , the shrine that honors convicted war criminals who have outraged Chinese people. And because of this , Chinese have had antagonism toward Japan. However , several new strategies adapted by Shinzo Abe, Japanese prime minister , aim at mitigating this hostility.Although efforts are made , both China and Japan have a long way to go to resume a friendly tie.

Btw, rushing passages so as to acquire a higher efficiency is extremely nerve-racking. I actually felt the nausea when I strive as hard as I could.Hopefully I'll make it in the end^^

I'm trying to push myself to read faster and I can see the improvement~~~

Today I've read 3 articles from the Economist. The Japanese high-speed train is really a marvel 'cause it has made life in Japan a lot more convenient ever since its advent. Shinkansen, an exemplar , which links Tokyo and Osaka, has significantly shortens time spent in the journey.At once it became emblem of Japan.It cuts down 3 hours for the journey. Punctuality is also one of the reasons for the good reputation, because the average delay is less than a minute.It's never an exaggeration anyway.

Today I watched Dead Poets Society. his is a fantastic movie. The teacher is an enlightener, he taught his students to be freethinkers. Is there anything more important than thinking freely?

Having a wisdom teacher is so lucky.  But even though Robin Williams has played so many intellectual roles, he still can’t overcome his own problem. It’s a great pity. Compared with the Davinci Code which I watched yesterday afternoon, Robin Williams’ role in this movie is more impressive than Tom Hanks in that movie. Because this character is more vivid.

The school is located in the beautiful countryside. The surroundings make people feel serene and tranquil. I am attracted by the wonderful scenery. The students can row in the river.

The teacher told his students to seize the day, to be yourself. But when your dream is stopped by your surroundings (usually by parents) , how to reconcile the ideal with reality? This is a dilemma many people encountered. The autocratic father and the coward mother killed their son. But they are too stereotyped to realize it.

今天n篇the economist，记不清多少了

I read a article about the Airbnb. San Francisco passed a new regulation that only allows people to rent homes through these sites if they are San Francisco residents living in the unit for a least nine month a year.This reflects the growing influence of Airbnb. Recently the company valued at $10 billion and reported revenue of $250m last year. For business travellers, they have more choice and more space unlike the homogeneity of hotel. And also it have some risks. It is pricing out locals and creating bubble. But for people, it will be overwhelmingly positive.

I've read 3 articles from the Economist and 2 chapters from the novel that I finished reading for the first time on Oct 6th.These days I'm trying to push myself to speed up when I rush each line.
Nehru, India's first prime minister , is an interesting person in that he made such a statement " one should never visit America" for he was shocked by commercialism in America.
Also , when it comes to chapters that I've rushed for today , the north pole is something quite mysterious to people at that time 'cause there wasn't even a good map that accurately depicted the outline of the Arctic region.
Afterwards, I did one exercise of GRE reading , because I'll take the test on Nov 1st.I feel the improvement out of my constant practice both in focused reading and rushing lines.I hope I can be an efficient reader sometime in the future.

昨天竟然没打卡，最近被sub搞疯，加油啊，今天继续the ecomonist 4篇

Researchers have been touting many exciting findings that the bilingualism affects the brain. The one studies is that bilinguals are better able to focus on demanding mental task despite distractions. The other studies is that bilinguals onset of dementia about five years later than monolinguals do. With two languages in the mind, everything has two labels and everything can be expressed in two different kinds of sentences. Every time a thing is named, the other should be suppressed. And bilingualism is a kind of mental exercise to keep brain fit. But those findings need more researches. Some parents thinks bilingualism  may harm a child's development. If those advantage are true, I think many parents may give a try to let their children learn other languages.

I can feel that a image popped up while I read Chapter 7 of the novel called In the Kingdom of Ice. Benette was on an affair with a beauty called Caroline May. He attended a high class salon and yet he made a serious diplomatic blunder, when he unintentionally peed at the salon. And after that he was kicked out of the salon as well as the May family for good.Soon after this incident, Frederick May, who was brother of Caroline May, took avenge of her by beating Benette up on the street using his whip torturing Benette senseless.After beaten up by Frederick , Benette asked for a duel, which was illegal at that time because once discovered both of them would end up in jail.The duel took place afterwards, with a satisfactory result : neither Benette and Frederick died during the duel.And we call this duel the last one in America.

昨天一点不想坐在图书馆，去影院看了《黄金时代》。
Chapter 5
Women’s creative power differs from the creative power of men. It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men. Because world is vast and various, we can’t manage with one sex only. Education should bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities. A true picture of man as a whole must be painted by a woman.

In this chapter, Woolf mainly talks about Mary Carmichael’s Life’s Adventure. Though Mary had nothing like the fiery imagination, the brilliant wit, the brooding wisdom of her great predecessors, she had certain advantages which women of far greater gift lacked even a half century ago. She wrote as a woman,but as a woman who has forgotten that she is a woman. Give her another hundred years, a room of her own and five hundred pounds a year, let her speak her mind and leave out half that she now puts in, and she will write a better book, she will be a poet.

Chapter 6
The normal and comfortable state of being is that when man and woman live in harmony together, spiritually co-operating. When this fusion takes place, the mind is fully fertilized and uses all its faculties.

It is necessary to have five hundred a year and a room with a lock on the door if you are to write fiction or poetry. Because five hundred a year stands for the power to contemplate, that a lock on the door means the power to think for oneself. Intellectual freedom depends on material things. Poetry depends upon intellectual freedom. That’s why Woolf laid so much stress on money and a room of one’s own. “By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of though dip deep into the stream.”

Hello every one!
I am new here and the main purpose I join the group is to take down what I've read everyday for English. I hope I could carry on a long and meaningful plan for reading comprehension as well as make a little effort on expression. So please for the sake of our improvement, let's just be open to suggestions and adjustment.
I am now working on three indivisual books, one is about American literature, another is the critical thinking, the other is the Merrian Webster's vocabulary builder. I hope I could finish these three in a month.
Futhermore, I am working on a scientific program so it is required to read several papers, some of which I don't need to go over specific details. Hopefully I would finish the program in a month!

I just acknowledge how to use the everyday signing system! Today I saw a book named Triple Your Reading Speed. I don't know whether it will really work!
