主题：低碳生活
Low-carbon life
Nowadays,there are a considerable number of individuals who prefer to lead a low-carbon lifestyle which means decreasing the consumption（消耗 [k?n's?mp??n] ） of energy and resources in various ways in their daily life.
Low carbon lifestyle can endow（赋予? [in'dau]） us and our society with numerous benefits. Firstly, it goes beyond doubt that low carbon lifestyle contributes a lot to the environmental protection and it is a favorable way to slow down the rate of climate change of our earth, which also means a lot to our health.
We are supposed to undertake the responsibility to lead a low-carbon lifestyle, which is of great significance. And there is a diversity (多样性 [dai'v?:s?ti])of measures we can take so as to lead such an environmental-friendly life. For example, we are expected to minimize the use of private cars, which emit (,发出，散出[i'mit])a large amount of greenhouse gases. We can turn off electrical appliances(器械[?'plai?ns]) if not necessary as well as using renewable materials. Furthermore, at our leisure(空闲['le??]), we can seek opportunities to plant more trees which can absorb carbon-dioxide.
In brief, low-carbon lifestyle is nothing but the best choice for us and only in this way can we form a harmonious relationship with the environment.
Low-carbon life
低碳生活
目前，有相当数量的人愿意引领低碳生活方式，在他们的日常生活中以各种方式减少资源和能源消耗。

我们应该承担引导一种低碳生活方式的责任，这具有重要的意义。而且，为了引导这样环保的生活方式，我们可以采取多样化的措施。例如，我们可以尽量少用排放大量尾气的私家车。没有必要的时候我们可以关掉电器以及使用可再生材料。此外，在我们空闲时，我们可以找机会多种植吸收二氧化碳的树木。
总之，低碳生活是对我们来说最好的生活方式，只有这样我们才能构建与环境的和谐关系.

How long will it be before you find yourself famous? 眼球经济时代，速成“明星”究竟能红多久 “IN the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” US artist Andy Warhol made this famous statement in 1968. Back then, the only really famous people were pop stars and actors, political figures and war heroes – although things were changing. In just 30 years, his statement seems to have come true. Today there are countless individuals that go in and out of the media spotlight. The most common way that ordinary people today become famous is through reality shows. Both American Idol and Hunan TV’s have produced quite a few instant stars. The most famous person of this type is Scottish singer Susan Boyle, an out-of-work, plain-looking 48-year-old who came to international attention when she appeared on the reality TV program Britain’s Got Talent in April 2009. However, Boyle’s success was largely due to a video posted on YouTube.

But while Warhol emphasized the short-lived nature of modern fame, he also pointed out that fame is easier to get nowadays. If digital video cameras enable people to become reporters, why shouldn’t they also become celebrities?

Starbucks invades Parisian cafe culture (1) The beauty industry (2) Holiday Headache (2) Arthritis all-clear for high heels (3) Disney World (4) Secrets to a Great Life (5) The 50-Percent Theory of Life (6) The Road to Happiness (7) Six Famous Words (8) Write Your Own Life (8) Starbucks invades Parisian cafe culture A form of alien civilisation has finally landed in Paris - unfamiliar green and black signs have appeared on the Avenue de L'Opera. It is the first Starbucks cafe to boldly go where no Starbucks has gone before, onto potentially hostile French territory. Its advertising posters on the Champs Elysee announce "Starbucks - a passion pour le cafe". But is the company aware of the risk it is taking by challenging the very birthplace of cafe society "I think every time we come into a new market we do it with a great sense of respect, a great deal of interest in how that cafe society has developed over time," Bill O'Shea of Starbucks says. "We recognise there is a huge history here of cafe society and we have every confidence we can enjoy, augment and join in that passion." And he may be right. Despite some sniffiness in the French press, some younger French are expressing their excitement that they will finally be able to visit the kind of cafe they love to watch on the US TV series Friends. In fact, for some, it is an exotic rarity, far more exciting than the average French cafe. Melissa, aged 18, says she can hardly wait: "I love Starbucks caramel coffee - it's very good and I like the concept that they're opening in Paris. I think Starbucks will be OK for French people." An American tourist is equally excited when she spots the sign - this could be just the thing to help her get over the occasional twinge of homesickness. "I love the French cafes, but Starbucks is so popular in the States and it's become part of American culture and now it's come to France, and that's OK," she said.

The road to success It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their business lives sweeping out of the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself. Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly start ed, my advice to you is “aim high”. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, “my place is at the top”. Be king in your dreams. And there is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on the line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it. The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here, there, and everywhere. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong. I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry too many baskets that break most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration. To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the
