ReflectionIt is already pointed out that the need to increase the number of opportunities for aspiring trainee teachers to engage in a process of continuous reflection as they proceed toward attaining their professional goals. The emphasis is also valid as part of structured efforts to improve the ways people are made ready to assume leadership roles in school as well.Reflection about one’s performance in a professional role is a rather simple concept to define. As Posner (1985) observed concerning the use of reflectivity in student teaching, people would benefit greatly from their experiences if they had the opportunity to prepare for and think about those experiences before and after they occur. This theme has been championed by Donald Schon (1983), who advanced the concept of reflection as a guide to action in many professions. Again, the concept is simply stated ,namely that the effective, reflective practitioner would be the person who realizes that, before he or she tries to solve problems , it is cr itical to think about the nature of the “right” problems to be solved.From this presentation, i learned a lot of things and though i have encountered many problems but everything ended just fine. I’m quite satisfied with the powerpoint slide i designed. When i’m designing the slide, i try my very effort to make my slide more colorful instead of making everything in black and white. The latest investigation published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology stated that colour holds the secret to attraction. With colorful slide projected on the screen, the audience are more able to focus. I also show them some picture and photo to enhance their understanding on the article. Thanks to the advance of technology, i’m able to get any picture i need at th e comfort of my hostel. Any information and picture comes in handy with just one click.Dr. Wayne W. Dyer once said that “The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.” The process of reflection prepared us for the next step, that isself-improvement. Life goes on and time waits for nobody. We should always on the move and improve ourselves. The only person we should try to be better than, is the person we were yesterday. Never attempt to compete with others cause if we continuously compete with others, we will become bitter.On the other way round, if we continuously compete with ourselves, we will only become better. Therefore, we should willing to make some changes for better self. After this presentation, i realize that i still have many room forimprovement. One thing i would change about my presentation this time is on the information provided. I will find more extra information and wide-range data for my presentation next time. I will arm myself to the teeth because the audience may throw any question any time. So i have to be ever-ready with the adequate information to fulfill the curiosity of the audience. Besides, i will do more reading in order to sharpen my mind.As Toni Morrison says in The Dancing Mind , "reading is to experience one's own mind dancing with another's."I think the content of my presentation is contented and knowledgeable. The title of my first article is 5 threats to California from climate change. I chose this article purposely so that the au dience is exposed to what’s happening around the globe instead of just around of us. Besides, i choose the latest news happened in California so that the audience can catch up with the up-to-date information. I would like to led my audience to look outside the box so that they can be more alert to problem facing by our mother nature. My second article is Playing God with the climate. It is an article about crazy ideas suggested by scientists in order to save our Earth. There are many unbelievable ideas suggested by geo-engineerers and the audience may encounter some difficulty in order to accept the ideas. Anyway, i’m glad that the audience show interest for my second article . They even ask me for further information after i’m done with my presentation.Th e old saying that “eyes are a reflection of your inner self” holds true in most cases. There are a lot of meanings to eye contact and it is considered as a basic component of social interaction in some cultures. Some people struggle to make eye contact with others. Failing to make eye contact suggests to some that you're shy to others, it indicates that you are not confident enough and sometimes can also be taken as a disrespect. Julia Minson, a psychologist and assistant professor at Harvard’s Kennedy Sch ool of Government and her collaborator, Frances Chen realized that staring at someone will make the person more likely to see your point. After this presentation, I think that i did not make sufficient eye contact. I was too awkward and nervous that time. I did attempt to make some eye contact, but any efforts i made was proven in vain. Sufficient eyes contact is very important so that the listener can get our sincerity and hence, more willing to accept our ideas. I should improve my eye contact for the presentations to come. Maybe next time i can try to look for some friendly face among the audience first and look them in their eyes so that i can be more relax and easy to make such attempt.The influential German scholar Wilhelm Wundt, who in 1900 published the first volume of his Völkerpsychologie, which contains an extensive discussion of gesture, claimed that primordial speech was a kind of gesticulation that "mirrored the soul." From this, we can know the importance of effective gestures and movement. I think that i did not make many effective movement and gestures on the stage. Well, at least i should be more at ease and not that tensed up.This will enable the audience to be more relax and get rid of the awkward situation. Besides, the audience will focus more on the message i delivered if i attempt to make some effective gestures to lure their attention.Repetition is the mother of learning , the father of action , which makes it the architect of accomplishment. (Zig Ziglar). This quote show us how im portant practice is. “Practise makes perfect”, that’s how a saying goes. I did not practise much for this time presentation. I just go through my script on that very day and do it on the spot. I think i should practise more so that i can find out my mistakes earlier and able to make some changes before it is too late. Next time, maybe i can try standing in front of a mirror for practising so that i can catch my expression while i’m talking. Besides, i will try to record down my voice and listen to it. By using this method, i can improve on my pronunciation. I can also improve on the tone of my voice so that they’re not flat and monotonous. I will try to make some “ups and downs” in my tone to lure the audience’s attraction. I will practise in front of my friends and family too in order to build up my confident and make me more prepared to such environment.I’m very glad to have this chance of speaking in front of others. There are a couple of things that I do feel I lack the confidence and skill to perform. In my future, I hope to carry all of the skills I wish to acquire. I feel that I am much better now, in talking in front of others. The responsibility I have gained during this experience is incredible and has taught me to be a much more organized person. I found that all of these responsibilities have made me realize that I could definitely take the next step forward in my academic career. Each new experience I involve myself in has made me continue to grow and constantly learn something new.(1385 words)。

A Book Report of The AlchemistThe Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream is also called O Alquimista. It is a simple but unordinary story . The Alchemist, first published in 1988, is a modern classic that has been translated into sixty languages, read in over 150 counties and sold more than 30 million copies. The author Paulo Coelho was borned in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His books were translated into many different kinds of languages and were popular around the world.The Alchemist begins at dusk. Santiago, a Shepard boy, is settling in for the night with his herd at an abandoned church. That night, he has a dream about finding treasure near the Egyptian Pyramids.His travels have brought him to a town where he hopes to reacquaint himself with a girl he met the previous year. He detours to Tarifa, a nearby village where he can shave, get a haircut, and meet with a gypsy who can interpret dreams. The gypsy and a mysterious old man claiming to be a king advise him to pursue the treasure.Then ,Santiago sells his sheep and travels from Spain to Tangier. A thief steals his all of his money, forcing Santiago to take a job to survive. He finds work for a crystal merchant and a year of success helping him expand his business, Santiago earns enough money to return home. On the way, he meets an Englishman on a quest to learn the secrets of alchemy and is inspired to continue his search. Local wars strand Santiago and the Englishman in a desert oasis. However, thanks to this change in plans, he finds his true love, Fatima, and meets the Alchemist. Together with the Alchemist, Santiago continues his journey, facing life-threatening danger and more financial loss. He reaches the Pyramids of Egypt. But he don’t find the treasure and is hit by some poor people. And these poor people say they dream about the treasure in the enormous sycamore tree at the church.Language of this book is very simple, but every word is philosophy.―At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince themthat it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny.―When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.They were said by the king of Salem. The two sentences were the most impressive sentences to me. I got the central theme of the book——pursuing dream. We should believe our dreams, if we have the strong desire to achieve it , it will be real. When I first read this sentence, I felt a bit ridiculous. It seems like a slogan. However, just like the book told us, When the huge wealth is right in front of us, but we never notice. That is because people don't believe the treasure is there. We often reject it but never try, and it may be a big psychological obstacle for us to follow our dreams. In my opinion, maybe we should believe what the book told us——when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. Different people have different feelings about the book. As for me, the most impression I got was the description of dream. Actually, everyone can got his own philosophy. I believe that when I want something, all the universe conspires in helping me to achieve it. So there is no need to be afraid of those obstacles in our life. We should smile to pursuit our dreams. Only in this way can we look forward to a youth without regrets.。

由于自己喜欢的方向主要偏向岩石边坡工程和岩石地下工程,因此在申请的时候主要关注了全球在此方向有研究的高校。
岩石力学与岩石工程方向相关的申请参考资料较少,希望本文能对欲从事和已经在从事这方面研究的,并有意向出国深造的童鞋们在找外导的时候有所帮助。
不足或者不对的地方欢迎大家拍砖,但请手下留情。
1.英国提到对岩石力学的贡献就不得不提到英国。
而提到英国就不得不提到帝国理工学院(Imperial College London),当今全球岩石力学领域的大牛可以说一大部分都曾在帝国理工学院工作或者学习过,像E.T.Hoek和E.Brown,Hoek曾经担任过帝国理工学院的教授,Brown在帝国理工学院学习后并任教。
也正是那时,两个人合作提出了著名的Hoek-Brown强度准则。
此外像提出Q分类系统的N.Barton,和E.Hoek合作编写过Rock Slope Engineering 的John Bray,前任过国际岩石力学协会主席、英国皇家工程院院士的J.A.Hudson,现任国际岩石力学协会副主席的Jian Zhao(赵坚),岩石结构面研究的S.D.Priest,澳大利亚皇家科学院院士Brady B.H.G(和Brown合作编写过Rock mechanics for underground mining一书)等都曾博士毕业于帝国理工学院的Rock Mechanics Group。
可以说上世纪70、80甚至90年代,帝国理工学院都是岩石力学的天下,创造了国际岩石力学领域近半数的研究成果。
然而现在这些国际大牛中的一大部分要么转投他校,要么退休在家养老,帝国理工学院在岩石力学领域的研究势头和研究的密集程度已远不如当年。
全英文岩石力学课程建设的必要性探讨摘要:岩石力学既是基础学科,又是技术学科,是岩土工程、采矿工程和石油工程等本科和研究生专业的重要基础课程。
本文着重以石油工程研究生专业为背景,从课程特点出发,探究建设全英文岩石力学课程的必要性及可行性,促进全英文教学在高校教育改革中的推进,发挥全英文教学在提升研究生素质中的作用,为培养岩石力学研究人才提供有效思路。
关键词:岩石力学;全英文教学;课程建设;必要性岩石力学作为理论性和应用性很强的学科,在国民生产和生活中具有十分广泛的应用。
岩石力学是运用力学原理和方法来研究岩体的力学以及力学相关现象的一门新兴科学,也就是研究岩体在各种力场作用下变形与破坏规律的理论及其实际应用的科学[1]。
目前,我国绝大多数高校的研究生基础课程以普通话作为教学语言,港澳台地区主要使用英语教学或加大英语授课范围。
随着高校自身国际化建设及来华留学生的增加,研究生在从事各种学术活动中,英语是必须掌握的国际通用的科技语言。
采用英语传递信息已成为全球文化与科学的主要形式[2,3]。
全英文教学,即在课堂上使用英文进行学科的讲授,它已经成为实施全英文教育的重要手段之一。
全英文教学也是高等教育国际化的重要指标之一[4]。
通过调研分析国内外高校特别是石油类高校研究生教学过程存在的问题,我们对岩石力学建设全英文课程的必要性进行了探讨。
一、目前研究生岩石力学课程的问题(一)教学模式相对单一由于岩石力学的理论性比较强,学生理解和应用的难度大,影响了学习的自觉和主动性,只通过单纯讲授式的方式已不能满足研究型创新人才培养的需求[5-8]。
同时岩石力学的理论推导的要求比较高,并和实际工程结合比较紧密,因此仅靠传统的教学讲授方式,不能提高研究生独立自主学习的能力。
传统的教学模式过于强调书本,不能很好地进行理论与实践相结合,学生的实际运用能力相对较差,学习的兴趣和积极性不高,对教师教授的知识不敢表达自己的看法和意见,批判性能力不高。

Money and Man's DesireThis paper analyzes the Rocking-Horse. Points out the greed for money and speculative adventure is the ultimate cause of tragedy, performance of modern civilization of the spirit of human beings.Key words: desire , winner , moneyThe Rocking-Horse Winner Is written by Lawrence, D. H. Lawrence, D .H is an English novelist, poet, and short story writer. This is a story about a boy search for love and luck. In his family they lived in a rich life style, but they can not fell happiness. It was made his mother can not realize what was love that lack of money. Desire of money made her lost the ability to love others. From his mother’s eyes Paul can only saw cold instead of love. He always heard a voice “There must more money! There must be more money!” But Paul love his mom he want she loved him. Then he found himself was a luck dog. He could forecast the result of horse-race when he was on the rocking-horse in a crazy way. In this game he can earn money. He thought in this way his mother can went out from cold. Disappointment is the voice around the house did not disappear. His mother need for money turn bigger and bigger. As time goes by, his words did not so effective as usual. One day when Paulwas predicing the result of next horse-race his mother came in his house and he felt out off the rocking-horse and lost his young life.In depicting a prosperous household that still hungers for money, "The Rocking-Horse Winner" resembles many of Lawrence's other fictional critiques of materialism and modern society. Paul's mother desires wealth and material possessions to the exclusion of more valuable items such as love and self-knowledge. Her desires are never satisfied, however, and they result in disastrous consequences when love and money are confused. A sexual subtext—another element found in many of Lawrence's works—also seems to be present in the story. Scholars have noted that the descriptions of Paul riding his rocking-horse have an erotic quality, and these scenes have been interpreted as representations of sex and masturbation. Since these quasi-sexual actions are focused on pleasing Paul's mother, and since Paul's father has proven incapable of satisfying his wife, many critics believe that the story draws on the concepts of psychologist Sigmund Freud. Freud maintained that young boys are sexually attracted to their mothers and fantasize about replacing their fathers—a condition he termed the Oedipus complex. Other analysts have placed less emphasison the sexual aspects of the story and instead view Paul's actions as a tragic attempt to win parental love from his hard-hearted mother."The Rocking-Horse Winner" is hailed by some critics as a technically perfect short story. Frequently anthologized and exhaustively analyzed, "The Rocking-Horse Winner" has scholars divided over interpretations—whether it is a social commentary on money and relationships in a capitalist society, a psychoanalytic exploration of sexuality and the Oedipus complex, or a simple fable of a boy searching for identity and love. The society is lopsided.The boy Paul through the betting money, the boy's mother, uncle and other for money is crazy to win money in gambling, the value of the people died. In the Trojan winner ", the pursuit of money distorted the greatest affection, the mother precious mother can't love son and son for love, but can use the money to buy. Mother love is not so, and became the source of the root cause son tragedy. From this point of view, this story also reflects the son of negative influence mothers.Story discusses Lawrence concerns relationships between people, from a reflection of the western industrial society to health money harmonious interpersonal relationships.At the beginning of the story D. H. Lawrence said “There was a woman who was beautiful, who start with all the advantages, yet she had no luck. She married for love, and the love turned to dust ” These beautiful wards for a kind mother is normal, and the story looked like a fairy tale. The Mother was born in a wealthy family, originally is one understands love and love the beautiful woman. She married for love "unluck" husband. But love is not brought her hopes of a happy life. She began to pursuit of material life. Although they are living in the beautiful house and garden, also have a baby-sitter, please. But as a pursuit of material in the era of couples, they do not earn enough to pay for the pursuit and the society as the lavish mode of living. However, they often worry for money. On the contrary, the hard, not apathy her gentleness docile. Children love to have lost the ability. Lost love, numbness, a stone cold mother image is produced by the industrial revolution of the human mind, money consciousness of humanity and alienation. People in increasing physical life, inevitably become slaves to money and material. When more than one value of wealth, people will go to their tails and change as material.D. H. Lawrence according to this story The Rocking-Horse.In the modern society again exposed human weaknesses, affectionand the spirit of the alienation.This story is written at the end of 19th century, at that time Capitalist industrial development and industrialization. In material life level at the same time, the person's mental state changes. The pursuit of material life leads to excessive loss of human nature, shallow. In this story the mother is a representative. She cared about nothing but money, when her son was going to die she was just cold and stay by herself without anything to do. She turn to be a stone.The analysis of Paul. First, psychological - the infinite greed for money, young Paul for money and don't have much too keen on mother's infection, but understand family status. Began to pursue money on. Then tragedy happened. Second, Action acquired by speculative adventure -- for Paul speaking, only money in order to meet the needs of the mother. And Paul completely is also a gambler's image of money very greed, although he is passive.Third, End - die for money in capitalist society, hesitate speculative adventure, hesitate the greed for money. Suffice it to say that money SINS. I n this novel through character of alienation, Lawrence revealed the dark side of modern civilization, money dominate everything. Even theprecious family also received physical erosion, modern has fallen, irrational state.References:《劳伦斯评论集》上海文艺出版社《英国文学选读》。
Reading reportPaper title: A new hard rock TBM performance prediction model for project planningMajor: 隧道与地下工程Name: 叶宇航Number: 1530767Several models have been introduced over the years for prediction of hard rockTBM performance.The TBM performanceprediction models are mostly based on an empirical or a semi-theoretical approach. Although they have advantages and area of applications, they also have disadvantages, such as CSM model don’t consider the main influencing parameter, NTNU model require special experiments originated from the drilling, QTBM are too complicated. The authors hope to better understand machine-rock interaction and to develop a more accurate model for performance estimate of hard rock TBMs.In order to achieve it, the authors investigate the field data of three main tunneling projects in Iran and Manapouri tunnel project in New Zealand.The data obtained from the projects as before mention includinggeological and performance parameters,have wide ranges of variations.Butthese wide ranges of geological and performance parameters helped in developing a more comprehensive TBM performance prediction model which has covered different geological conditions.In general, to justify the use of TBM in any project and for planning purposes, a reasonably accurate estimation of rate of penetration (ROP), daily rate of advance (AR), and cutter cost/life estimate is necessary. But the authors chosen Field Penetration Index(FPI) which is a composite parameter as the machine parameter. In the text, both single and multi-variable regression analyzes were used to investigate relationship between engineering rock properties and TBM performance parameters and finally to develop empirical equation. The analysis of the data obtained from the projects proved that FPI is a suitable machine performance parameter for developing empirical relationships with geological parameters.And multi-variable regression analysis show good correlation between ln (FPI) as response parameter and UCSand RQD as predictors. In conclusionFPI is a good parameter for the evaluation ofhard rockTBM performance. Therefore, the authors developed a chart of FPI prediction.This chart can be used for quick estimationof range of values for FPI in grounds with different rockstrength and rock quality.Excepts the FPI, the authors also concerned the boreability. Boreability is the term commonly used to express the ease or difficulty of rockmass excavation by a tunnel boring machine. Rock mass boreability depends on a number of influencing parameters including intact rock/rock mass properties, machine specifications and operational parameters. In tunneling projects, ground characteristics or boreability of the rockmass is an important parameter for selecting machine type and specifications. It is clear that proper evaluation of rock mass boreability can also play a major role in machine operation to achieve the best performance. FPI can be selected as an index for categorizing rock mass boreability. Based on the analysis of give projects, the authors defined six rock massboreability classes, from most difficult for boring or B-0 class(Tough) to easiest for boring or B-V class (Excellent). Considered the relationship between FPI and boreability, the authors give a table of TBM performance estimation in rock masses with different boreability classes.All in all, the paper proposeda simplemodel to evaluate rock mass boreability and TBM performancerange. This model demonstrates that machine performance hasbeen related to two main rock properties (UCS and RQD) and twooperational parameters (average cutter head thrust andRPM).These Input parameters of the model are available in the preliminary stages of the tunnel designand planning.From this paper, I have a much better understanding of the estimation ofTBM performance and the impact factors of FPI and boreability. And I think the model proposed in this paper can be applied as a usefultool for quick estimation of TBM performance in projects with differentgeological conditions and machine diameters. And this model is worth using widely.The new boreability classification which based on rock masses characteristics to allow for prediction of FPI values also worth learning. The authors adopt both single and multi-variable regression to analyzethe relationship between engineering rock properties and TBM performance parameters. As a result, it obtains a good result. So, I think when we investigate a problem which influenced by various parameters, we can consider not just single parameter butmulti-variable regression. In the process of developed model, varieties of charts which demonstrate the relationship between different parameter play an important role. Thus, chart is an important tool for research.In engineering project, theoretical model should be easy to use so that it can play an important role in project planning. So, I think the classes of rock massboreabilitydefined in the paper is useful to engineering field.。
