The rush to read chapter books should not deprive(剥夺) children of artistic

As an early reading advocate, I am for reading picture books: Do buy picture books and choose chapter books with pictures!I w

22、as shocked to read Julie Bosmans front page report in the New York Times, “Picture Books Lose Out in the Rush to Read”. Many parents of kindergarten and first graders are pressuring their children “to leave the picture book behind and move on to more text-heavy chapter books” in order to be well pre

If you think depriving children of picture books is a good idea, just read a wonderful critics notebook” review from the same paper in the same week, by Michael Kimmelman: “Paris Rediscovers Monets Magic at Grand Palais”.

24、Kimmelman describes the sweeping show of over 160 of Monets paintings as “the biggest sight in Europe this fall” “a box-office success”, and goes on to explain why: Pictures stimulate(刺激，激发) states of mind. The same can be said of picture books they stimulate a state of mind in children that words a

29、tion by the General Administration of Press and Publication of the Peoples Republic of China earlier this week banned the use of Chinglish buzzwords(时髦术语) created by netizens for publications in the Chinese language.An unnamed official with the administration said that the regulation was aimed at pu

30、rifying the Chinese characters Geili(giving strength) with the English suffix for adjectives, means “giving power” or “cool”, and “ungeilivable” means “dull, not cool at all”.Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who have created many English words to reflect new phenomena in society. On

31、e example is “antizen”, which refers to the group of college graduates who, earning a low salary and living in small rented apartments, are like the tiny ants.David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International studies University, said it was very interesting to combine Chinese with English to cr

They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences,” he said.Sergey Dmitriev, a senior student from Russian, believed the words are a way to learn more about Chinese society.“In Russia, similar words were

33、created as well,” he said, adding that creation of the English words showed the great influence of China on the world.Wu Zhongmin, a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, saw the phenomenon of word creation as a natural response from young people to

39、ns will take place: the Olympic Center Zone, a state-of-the-art complex; the Cultural Scenic Spot Zone, which will provide a pleasant atmosphere for leisure and cultural exchange activities; and the University Pavilion Zone, where the YOG educational activities will take place. With all these facili

40、ties already in place, it will not be necessary to build new venues for the YOG. Most of these venues have held high-level domestic sports games like the 10th National Games. Olympic Center ZoneThis zone, which is made up of pavilions of Nanjing Olympic Center, has 33% competition venues, providing

41、55% competitions of 26% sports. The YOG and Opening and Closing Ceremonies will be held in this zone, filled with sporting character and Olympic culture.Located in western Nanjing, the Olympic Sports Centre is 3 km away from the Youth Olympic Village.

42、d lines. Temporary bus lines to all YOG venues will be added during the YOG.

43、mony between the natural and artificial sights is the major feature of this area.

49、n the youths cultural and educational activities.DIn Indias main tea-growing region, scientists say tea production is being impacted by climate change. India produces nearly one third of the worlds tea.The Himalayan hills in Indias northeastern state, Assam, are covered with a great many tea bushes

50、whose leaves produce some of the worlds finest tea.But there are concerns that rising temperatures may be affecting the tea plantations, resulting in declining productivity of the brew(饮品) to which millions of people across the world wake up.The director of the Tea Research Association in Assam, Mri

51、dul Hazrika, is studying the impact of climate change on tea production.“We have observed that minimum temperature has risen by two degrees centigrade and there is a reduction in annual rainfall in the last 90 years by around 200 millimeters. And this is very important, very significant from the poi

52、nt of tea as a plantation crop,” Hazrika said.Scientists say rising temperatures can affect the ability of the tea bush to grow. Tea production in the Assam region has declined in recent years, although the area under cultivation is larger.Unstable rainfall patterns are of particular concern to plan

53、ters because the tea plant is largely dependent on the weather. They point out that last year there were fewer days with sunshine, resulting in humid conditions which are unfavorable for the growth of the tea plant.Planters are optimistic that the strong tea bush will adapt, but they are looking at

54、ways to combat the impact of climate change. Arijit Raha is an official, with the Indian Tea Association, based in Kolkata. “The industry has been looking at irrigation as an option, but tea plantations are huge, irrigating 100 percent is a very expensive proposition,” Raha said. “One is also looking at other options, such as drought-resistant plants but those are things which will come in the future.”There have been some reports that the flavor of the Assam tea, known to produce a strong cup of tea, ha
