Background InformationAnand Giridharadas is an American author and newspaper columnist. Anand was raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio, in Paris and in Maryland, he studied politics and history at the universities of Michigan, Oxford and Harvard. After graduating from college, he moved to Mumbai in 2003, where he worked as a consultant for the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company. In 2005, he became a journalist, covering India for the International Herald Tribune and The New York Times. In 2009, after returning to the United States, he began to write the "Currents" column for those newspapers. He also writes longer magazine pieces.In 2011, he published his first book, India Calling: An Intimate Portrait of a Nation's Remaking.He is a Henry Crown fellow of the Aspen Institute. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife, Priya Parker.2. Lead-in Video or Audio Clip-Listening ScriptsAlice: Now, Rob we’re talking about something that most people have to do at some point in their lives –leave home…Rob: Some people can’t wait to leave home and become independent, but plenty more would be happy to stay living with their parents and family at home.Alice: Many countries have legal limits for the age somebody can leave home. In the UK you can drive a car at 17, buy alcohol and vote at the age of 18. But what age can you leave home with your parents’ permission?Is it:a. 18b. 17c. 16Rob: I think you can get married at 16 can’t you? So is it 16?Alice: I’m not telling you yet. We’ll find out the correct answer at the end of the program. What’s interesting is how more and more people are staying at home longer in the UK. There’s even a word for it –it’s called the boomerang generation.Rob: A boomerang as in the Australian tool that comes back to you when you throw it?Alice: Exactly! You should be able to see a photo of one on our website. The boomerang generations are young people who leave home to go to University but then return to live with their parents when the y’ve finished their studies.Rob: So they leave home but come back to their parents again after studying.And how long do they stay with their parents after they’ve finished University?Alice: It varies – but the latest official figures show that the number of graduates returning home after University has increased by a third in the last 20 years. Here’s the BBC’s Tim Muffett:Extract 1：The boomerang generation is booming. According to the Office for National Statistics, around 15% of female graduates move back home. For male graduates the figure is 22%, that’s an increase of almost a third in twenty years, and with a lack of jobs for the class of 2010 the numbers are expected to rise.Alice: The boomerang generation is booming!Rob: Do we know why so many more students are returning to live at home?Alice: Most of the reasons are economic – students are finding it difficult to get jobs after they finish their studies so they can’t afford to pay for their own place to live.Rob: I imagine it depends on where you choose to live – some students do a house or flat-share where they can split the rent with other young people.Alice: But some students have such big debts after paying for University they can’t afford to do a house or flat-share with other people. It’s easier to go home to their parents and try and save some money! The BBC’s Tim Muffett went to meet recent graduate Kate and her mother Janice.Kate’s had to move back in with her parents after leaving University.Extract 2KATE: I lost my independence because at University you get to do what you want to do– and not be regimented by what you watch on the television.MUM: we lost our privacy, because suddenly there is somebody else in the house. We wouldn’t sling her out, much as we’d like to sometimes.TIM: Are your relieved to hear that?KATE: yeah!Alice: Kate’s complaining that she’s lost her independence. At University she got to do what she wanted.Rob: She says she could watch what she wanted on TV –it wasn’t regimented Alice: regimented –that’s a military term meaning there are strict rules that have to be followed – like a regiment.Rob: What about her parents?Alice: Let’s listen again to what Kate’s mum Janice said:MUM: we lost our privacy, because suddenly there is somebody else in the house. We wouldn’t sling her out, much as we’d like to sometimes.Alice: Kate’s mum Janice says she has lost her privacy because suddenly there’s someone else in the house.Rob: I hope she’s joking when she says ‘we wouldn’t sling her out’!Alice: I hope she is joking –she wouldn’t really ask her daughter Kate to leave the family home! Let’s hear from one more person today. This is Professor of Sociology, Gill Jones, who’s been speaking to lots of young people about returning home after University. She thinks life for the boomerang generation is very difficult: Extract 3：If young people can’t become independent when they are technically adult then it creates all sorts of problems, about what does it mean to be adult – are young people willing to defer adulthood and what are parents taking on when they have children?How long are they going to be responsible for them?Alice: Young people are technically adult –they’re officially adults because they can vote, get married and live on their own but because they’re having to return home there can be problems.Rob: Professor Gill Jones says they have to defer adulthoodAlice: That means they have to wait till they leave home again before they can really feel like adults.Rob: And parents are having to be responsible for children for many more years than they expected.Alice: Which brings me to the question I asked earlier. What is the legal age forchildren to be allowed to leave home in the UK? Was it:a 18b. 17c. 16Rob: I’m guessing 16?Alice: You’re right.Read the words aloud first and then do the following task. boomerang generation 回潮族flat-share 合租split 分担regiment 严格的管理defer 推迟3. Questions for discussion•What does the boomerang mean?•What does the boomerang generation mean based on your listening? •What kind of problems will the boomerang generation cause? •What’s the feeling when you live at home after finishing University?II.

We make and remake them; they make and remake us.(para. 4)Q: what does the author indicate here?A: The author indicates that the story of words is as complex as a hurricane. It is difficult to know which words are used more frequently.3. It is a turning away from an arguably aristocratic idea of the intrinsic worth of things: from pleasure, with its sense of an internal condition of mind, to fun, so closely affiliated with outward activities; from excellence, an inner trait whose attainment is its own reward, to achievement, which comes through slogging and recognition. (para. 6)Q: Could you paraphrase this sentence?A：American cultural is no longer to see the intrinsic value of the noble things; no longer pay attention to the pursuit of inner psychological state of happiness, but to the outside activities closely related to play; do not pursue this intrinsic quality excellent, but through labor and Identity to achieve success.4. “Wherefore wealth, if not to purchase pleasure? Wherefore health, if not to taste, when pleasure holds the cup and bids us drink.”“Come on. Don’t you think it’s fun to have a bottle of wine that was released the same month you got engaged?” (para. 8)Q: what do these two examples indicate?A: The relationship between fun and pleasure.5. What would seem to be a growing intolerance for merely being, and an anguished insistence on doing, doing, doing? (para. 17)Q: what does “what” mean here?A: what means more and more people can have fun and make achievement.4.

The instrument gugin is also named seven- stringed qin( 七弦琴) or sitong( 丝桐) This ancient instrument is indispensable in Chinese intellectual history. Guqin playing was mainly practiced by noblemen and scholars in intimate settings, and was therefore never intended for public performance. Besides, the guqin was one of the four arts, along with calligraphy, painting and Go, an ancient form of chess, which Chinese scholars were expected to master. In 2008 guqin and its music was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Nese Chinese people have a rich tradition of endowing art forms with spiritual pursuit. One example traditional Chinese paintings of pine, bamboo and plum, which are called the "Three Friends in Winter" because they all thrive in winter days, just like friends who cherish the same ideals of welcoming the advent of the spring. Therefore, they often appear in traditional Chinese paintings. symbolizing the noble characters esteemed and pursued by Chinese people. Another example is the game of Go which originated in China and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day.
