As the development of information technology, office equipment has become more and more miniaturized. A whole new work style, based on Internet technology, came into being. That is SOHO— small office, home office. This new work style is widely accepted by most young people who admire nothing but freedom and indifference.
SOHO still is, even nowadays, a very fashionable work style and is becoming more and more popular in China. Because of SOHO, people don’t have to rush into their office every morning and they can do whatsoever they are interested in or love without considering work time and word place. People who have the privilege of working at home can feel free to do what their interest lies in and then make a living on it easily. Just imagine how fantastic it is that you can make you lunch while dealing some serious business online, baby-sit your daughter while selling your stocks to someone thousands miles away or enjoy some beautiful songs while selling thousands pounds worth of products to some retailers in some other country. It is SOHO that makes all those possible.
Because of SOHO, the boundary between home and office is not that clear. In most cases their homes are their offices. They can sleep until they really want to get up. They don’t have to follow their bosses’ instructions. They can make their own decisions on when to work and when to rest. They are actually their own bosses. The only thing that they should bare in mind is that they must finish their work in time if they want to get paid.
To work in home, one needs to be very self-disciplined. To be free does not mean you can be idle. If you stay at home doing nothing but playing computer games, how can you earn your life on your own? So even in this new work style, it is also very important for us to strike a balance between working and living. Only if one indeed strikes a balance between them, can they enjoy a successful career and happy life at the same time. There is possibility available to everybody no matter what kind of work one engages in. It is not only for SOHO.

It’s considered impossible to stay a triangle love of a woman and two excellent men, but they made it. Love is said to make people selfish, while there love made the two men share one woman with all their heart. I initially thought Ilonas, the angel-like self-centered and self-interested, with two men around her, loving her. I couldn’t understand her. How could she fall in love with both of them simultaneously? She then turned out to pour all her to love the two. By the standard of traditional value, the two men were cuckolds. The two men absolutely sacrificed, because they loved her so much that they were willing. So did Ilonas.
A composer, Andras, created a melancholic song entitled Gloomy Sunday, which then made many people committed suicide for the sake of dignity. It had been said to be satanic whereas then was proved innocent. It was indeed magical for it left people think of the real significance of life. Some people hold a value that life should keep its purity and not be stained; while others had a faith that life is supposed to be prolonged in whatever way so as to struggle for an ideal.
The Jewish restaurant boss, Geigenspieler, saved another man who had been in his restaurant everyday for years only in order to see Ilonas, but he finally died because of the man who also loved Ilonas. This reminded me of the story of the farmer and the snake. Hence, don’t be too tolerant as a man for someday the one you saved may in turn kill you.
What impressed me most in the movie is the beautiful scenery in the city of Budapest. Budapest, the capital of Poland, was said to be the quietest capital in the world. In China, people are fond of skyscrapers which they think is the sign of modern, but such high buildings can make people dizzy and depressed. I guess it must be quite fantastic to live a satisfied life in such a city without many skyscrapers. In my lifetime, I swear, I’m sure to go there whether to live or only travel.

Today was the first day of the National Day of Mourning, which will last for three days. This morning I got up very early. After having a quick breakfast, I found myself a quiet place to do some morning readings. And then I spent the following hours in the library doing some study. During this busy period of time, I shortly forgot my sorrow.
When I came back to my dormitory after having lunch, it was half past one. I got to know that we Chinese students would gather together outside the girls’ dormitory at 2 o’clock mourning for the victims of Wenchuan earthquake. The sun was really scorching, but we knew that under the ardent sun thousands of soldiers and volunteers were fighting in the quake-hit area to save the lives of people who were crushed under fallen buildings. Why didn’t us dare to stand in the burning sunlight?
At 2:28, with horn blaring and ASW alarming, every people were in silence, sad and sorry. We were sincerely showing our sorrow to the dead and praying for the lives that were in critical danger.

Today I listen to a music program from CRI which usually introduces renowned musicians in China. The figure this volume referred to is Rene Liu (Liu Ruoying).
The most widespread song of her is Backforward (I translate it this way all on my own). Her voice is so soft and sweet that her fans all call her “milk tea”.
Bathed in the western or foreign music for so long, I came back to Chinese song and eventually fall in love with it once more. I wonder if it is good or not for me, as an English major.
Learning English is more than listening, speaking, reading and writing. What’s more important, in my opinion, is thinking in English. Listening to English song is a way to get in touch with western culture.” Music expresses its times.” As Sociologist Irving Horowitz tells us, music also illustrates its language in a unique way.
I am a keen lover of music, I used to think so.
But at times, I think, I am obsessed by a song usually as a result of the language of the lyrics. I am a foreign language learner, undoutfully. Somebody once told me that language is always closely likened to music like brothers. Many students and faculty in our arena are capable of singing songs very melodiously.

Being faced with the damege
which was brought by the earthquake in 12th May,2008,
I see our great love.
Although there are quite a lot of difficulties,
I believe we can make it,
because we have great leaders,
we have so many hands!
Nothing can beat us!
Hand in hand,we can conquer anything.
Let’s build a beautiful homeland together!
When I hear the sad news over the radio,
when I read latest news from Internet,
I am touched, but what can I do?
How to help them?I feel so helpless.
Tonight our dorm turned off the light
in order to express our sarrow and pray for these who are still in danger.
But to my surprise,
many students in my college were so excited that I did not feel their sadness!
They shouted as if there was a happy event.
Well, I don’t know what to say…
I am so tired to write this.
China bless Chinese!

Just as Luxun depicted in his fiction?hometown, “I’ve long heard of the name of Runtu, and I am the same age with him, for he was born in the leap year, thus his father called him Runtu.
In my childhood, I was very depressed at my teacher told us that Runtu was dramatically changed after departed from Luxun’s hometown (actually, I intended to assimilate “I” in the novel to “Lu Xun”).
Several years later, I still feel the things happen on myself, my former good friend become another Runtu. We were good friends, we talked everything besides us, 5 years later, no more. Everything changed into formal, predictable and discreet articulate parole, thus, true friendship can hardly be traced.
People say, one can be changed after he went through a lot of circumstance, his character can be dominated by power, money and many other things, but when we were young, we may remain our dignity at least.
Whatever, the things changed not myself.

The vocality is an abstract art which melts the sound and emotion in the integration. It attains the artistic vocal effect by delivering the idea with the sound and delivering the emotion with sound to communicate with the aesthetic main body.
There is exhibition of the sound as well as outpouring of the emotion, so it should be not only paid attention to the training of the sound technique but also attached importance to the vocality, as the content of performing art in the process of vocal performance. The paper discusses the combination and application of the sound and emotion in the process of vocal performance from the point of view of singing and artistic emotion, analyses simply the whole process of singing mainly from three aspects (sound, emotion, combination of emotion), carries out the artistic bourn of combination and exhibition of the sound and emotion, and carries on the analysis and the application of the simple songs.

Olympic torch relay dated back from Athens, when people adopted it as a ceremony in festa. On the summer solstice, the pilgrims made a pilgrimage to Athens and attended a race, which could decide who would be the person to light fire.
The first well-known Olympic Games was in 78bc, a man named Clabs won the race and lighted the fire. The modern Olympic torch relay originated in 1920 in order to commemorate the officers and men killed in WWI. It was the opening ceremony of the 7th Olympic Games that the fire was lighted in Belgium.
In 1982, international Olympic committee announced that the torch would light in the meeting place in every Olympic Games. The torch was lighted in Olympia, and then it was passed to the meeting place by the way of running.
In modern times, the way of torch relay changed with the development of science and technology. In the 21st Olympic Games, the torch was lighted in Olympia and passed to Athens. Then in come to Ottawa by man-made satellite using electronic and laser technology. In the 23rd Olympic Games, the torch was passed to New York by air transportation. In 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, the torch was lighted by shooting an arrow.
According to the planned route ,the relay will cover 137,000km in 130 days before the flame finally arrives at the National Stadium in Beijing on August 8.2008, involving a total of 21,780 torchbearers.

I just read a piece of news that: if we use mobile phone before going to bed or leave it next to your head, it is bad for our health, and it will cause insomnia and headaches.
According to academic study, it will cause damage to human’s health because of radiation from the handset. What is worse, lack of enough sleep can lead to depression and aprosexia on study and daily work.
Everyone will agree that it is very nice to have a night chat in bed before fall asleep. Also it is very convenient for us to pick up the phone and check the time. Actually I do the same thing before sleeping nearly every night and then just turn off the mobile phone and put it next to the pillow. But we do something wrong. We are gradually affected .Sometimes I feel hard to fall asleep for a long time and it makes me sleepy during the daytime.
How many of you get the same experience as mine? And do you agree with this?
