Nu shu

— a secret language —

A. It is sometimes said that men and women communicate in different languages. For hundreds of years in the Jianyong County of Hunan province, China, this was quite literally the case. Sometime between 400 and 1,000 years ago women defied the patriarchal norms of the time that forbade them to read or write, and conceived of Nu shu—literally, 'women's language'—a secretive script and language of their own. Through building informal networks of 'sworn sisters' who committed themselves to teaching the language only to other women, and by using it artistically in ways that could be passed off as artwork (such as writing characters on a decorative fan), Nu shu was able to grow and spread without attracting too much suspicion.

B. Nu shu has many orthographical distinctions from the standard Chinese script. Whereas standard Chinese has large, bold strokes that look as if they might have been shaped with a thick permanent marker pen, Nu shu characters are thin, slanted and have a slightly 'scratchy' appearance that bears more similarity to calligraphy. Whereas standard Chinese is logographic, with characters that represent words and meanings, Nu shu is completely phonetic—each character represents a sound; the meaning must be acquired from the context of what is being said. Users of Nu shu developed coded meanings for various words and phrases, but it is likely that only a tiny fraction of these will ever be known. Many secrets of Nu shu have gone to the grave.

C. Nu shu was developed as a way to allow women to communicate with one another in confidence. To some extent this demand came from a desire for privacy, and Nu shu allowed women a forum for personal written communication in a society that was dominated by a male-orientated social culture. There was also a practical element to the rise of Nu shu, however: until the mid 20th century, women were rarely encouraged to become literate in the standard Chinese script. Nu shu provided a practical and easy-to-learn alternative. Women who were separated from their families and friends by marriage could therefore send 'letters' to each other. Unlike traditional correspondence, however, Nu shu characters were painted or embroidered

onto everyday items like fans, pillowcases and handkerchiefs and embodied in 'artwork' in order to avoid making men suspicious.

D. After the Chinese Revolution, more women were encouraged to become literate in the standard Chinese script, and much of the need for a special form of women's communication was dampened. When the Red Guard discovered the script in the 1960s, they thought it to be a code used for espionage. Upon learning that it was a secret women's language they were suspicious and fearful. Numerous letters, weavings, embroideries and other artifacts were destroyed and women were forbidden to practise Nu shu customs. As a consequence, the generational chains of linguistic transmission were broken up, and the language ceased being passed clown through sworn sisters. There is no longer anyone alive who has learnt Nu shu in this traditional manner; Yang Huanyi, the last proficient user of the language, died on September 20, 2004, in her late 90s.

E. In recent years, however, popular and scholarly interest in Nu shu has blossomed. The Ford Foundation granted US $209,000 to build a Nu shu Museum that houses artifacts such as audio recordings, manuscripts and articles, some of which date back over 100 years. The investment from Hong Kong SAR is also being used to build infrastructure at potential tourist sites in Hunan, and some schools in the area have begun instruction in the language. Incidentally, the use of Nu shu is also a theme in Lisa See's historical novel, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, which has since been adapted for film.

Venus Flytraps

A. From indigenous myths to John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids and the off-Broadway musical Little Shop of Horrors, the idea of cerebral, carnivorous flora has spooked audiences and readers for centuries. While shrubs and shoots have yet to uproot themselves or show any interest in human beings, however, for some of earth's smaller inhabitants—arachnids and insects—the risk of being trapped and ingested by a plant can be a threat to their daily existence. Easily the most famous of these predators is the Venus Flytrap, one of only two types of 'snap traps' in the world. Though rarely found growing wild, the Flytrap has captured popular imagination and can be purchased in florists and plant retailers around the world.

B. Part of the Venus Flytrap's mysterious aura begins with the title itself. While it is fairly clear that the second-half of the epithet has been given for its insect-trapping ability, the origin of 'Venus' is somewhat more ambiguous. According to the International Carnivorous Plant Society, the plant was first studied in the 17th and 18th Centuries, when puritanical mores ruled Western societies and obsession was rife with forbidden human impulses and urges. Women were often portrayed in these times as seductresses and temptresses, and botanists are believed to have seen a parallel between the behaviour of the plant in luring and devouring insects, and the imagined behaviour of women in luring and 'trapping' witless men. The plant was thus named after the pagan goddess of love and money—Venus.

C. The Venus Flytrap is a small plant with six to seven leaves growing out of a bulb-like stem. At the end of each leaf is a trap, which is an opened pod with cilia around the edges like stiff eyelashes. The pod is lined with anthocynin pigments and sweet-smelling sap to attract flies and other insects. When they fly in, trigger hairs inside the pod sense the intruder's movement, and the pod snaps shut. The trigger mechanism is so sophisticated that the plant can differentiate between living creatures and non-edible debris by requiring two trigger hairs to be touched within twenty seconds of each other, or one hair to be touched in quick succession. The plant has no nervous system, and researchers can only hypothesize as to how the rapid shutting movement works. This uncertainty adds to the Venus Flytrap's allure.

D. The pod shuts quickly, but does not seal entirely at first; scientists have found that this mechanism allows miniscule insects to escape, as they will not be a source of useful nourishment for the plant. If the creature is large enough, however, the plant's flaps will eventually meet to

form an airtight compress, and at this point the digestive process begins. A Venus Flytrap's digestive system is remarkably similar to how a human stomach works. For somewhere between five and twelve days the trap secretes acidic digestive juices that dissolve the soft tissue and cell membranes of the insect. These juices also kill any bacteria that have entered with the food, ensuring the plant maintains its hygiene so that it does not begin to rot. Enzymes in the acid help with the digestion of DNA, amino acids and cell molecules so that every fleshy part of the animal can be consumed. Once the plant has reabsorbed the digestive fluid—this time with the added nourishment—the trap re-opens and the exoskeleton blows away in the wind.

E. Although transplanted to other locations around the world, the Venus Flytrap is only found natively in an area around Wilmington, North Carolina in the United States. It thrives in bogs, marshes and wetlands and grows in wet sand and peaty soils. Because these environments are so depleted in nitrogen, they asphyxiate other flora, but the Flytrap overcomes this nutritional poverty by sourcing protein from its insect prey. One of the plant's curious features is resilience to flame—it is speculated that the Flytrap evolved this to endure through periodic blazes and to act as a means of survival that its competition lacks.

F. While the Venus Flytrap will not become extinct anytime soon (an estimated 3-6 million plants are presently in cultivation)—its natural existence is uncertain. In the last survey, only 35,800 Flytraps were found remaining in the wild, and some prominent conservationists have suggested the plant be given the status of 'vulnerable'. Since this research is considerably dated, having taken place in 1992, the present number is considerably lower. The draining and destruction of natural wetlands where the Flytrap lives is considered to be the biggest threat to its existence, as well as people removing the plants from their natural habitat. Punitive measures have been introduced to prevent people from doing this. Ironically, while cultural depictions of perennial killers may persist, the bigger threat is not what meat-eating plants might do to us, but what we may do to them.

Development

Shortly after World War Ⅱ, 'development' as we now understand it was set in motion. Western governments and donors poured money into new agencies that set about trying to stimulate the economies of underdeveloped countries. Because of this emphasis, it is now widely regarded as the Growth Model. Although we might expect poverty reduction to be the central objective, planners at this stage were primarily concerned with industrial development. It was hoped that the benefits of this would trickle down to poor people through raising incomes and providing employment opportunities, thereby indirectly lifting them above the ascribed poverty threshold of a dollar a day. The weaknesses of these assumptions were revealed, however, when poverty rates and economic growth were found to rise simultaneously in many countries.

During the 1970s, a new trend took over—trickle-up development. Instead of focusing on macro-economic policy and large-scale industrial projects, planners shifted attention to the core living requirements of individuals and communities. This became known as the Basic Needs Approach to development. It was hoped that through the provision of services such as community sanitation and literacy programmes, poverty could be eliminated from below. Economic growth was desirable but superfluous—Basic Needs redefined poverty from involving a lack of money to lacking the capability to attain full human potential. The trouble with Basic Needs programmes, however, was their expensive, resource-intensive nature that entailed continuous management and funding.

Since the 1980s, development planners have moved towards the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach, which emphasises good livelihoods (materially and socially) that, most importantly, are independent and sustainable. 'Sustainable' in this sense means that people are able to recover from the shocks and stresses of daily life, absolving agencies of the need to persistently

monitor their lives. This approach emphasises a view of poverty that comes not from the rich but from the impoverished themselves, who are considered to be most suitably positioned to determine the poverty indicators that contribute to the multiple facets of their own deprivation. Although the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach has been criticised for lacking an environmental platform strong enough to respond to climate change, and for disassociating aspects of power and societal status from being a contestable part of development, it is currently the preferred model for development projects. Though there is some linearity to the trajectory of development practice, with paradigms shifting in and out of fashion, vigorous scholarly debate persists around all approaches. The Growth Model, for example, is still defended by many theorists, particularly economists. Those who believe in the Growth Model insist that nothing trumps economic development as a tool for poverty alleviation for the developing countries (although there is often less enthusiasm for its applicability to the post-industrial West). Many countries that have focused explicitly on growth have managed to make considerable inroads into reducing poverty, even in the absence of a development programme; Japan and Germany followed this route after World War Ⅱ, as has China from the 1970s. On the other hand, some countries with massive inflows of funding for aid-based 'development projects'—particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa—have struggled to progress with meeting poverty reduction targets.

There is a good reason to be sceptical about the Growth Model, however, as is evidenced by the numerous societies that have partly imploded as a consequence of prioritising economic growth above the work of human development. The experiences of many eastern European countries with health and employment crises in the early 1990s are particularly traumatic examples of this. The Growth Model also suffers from an undemocratic, and 'technocratic', if not autocratic, method—underdeveloped countries frequently make policy decisions based on consultation with Western economists and institutions on how to generate growth. This dissolves the autonomy of communities to make their own decisions about what matters to them, and what kind of society they would like to build. The move to the Sustainable Livelihood Approach is a positive move in this regard, because by operating on a principle that decisions should be made by those who are affected by them, it introduces a role for localised decision-making.

It will be difficult, if not impossible, for any country in the near future to ignore economic growth as a development indicator while continuing to meet development targets. It is important, however, that we move away from seeing this type of growth as the prime objective for development. Development is ultimately about people, and human development must be placed at the forefront; economic growth is simply one tool out of many that can help us along the way. We also need to recognise that foreign advisers, whatever qualifications and knowledge they may possess, can sometimes be a hindrance; local autonomy must be respected for real development to occur. The Growth Model may have failed, but this does not render economic growth irrelevant. The Sustainable Livelihood Approach offers helpful and realistic alternatives. But it is folly to commit ourselves to a strictly-defined, systematic programme—less constrictive mindsets will help us break the development fashion cycle.

The fundamental reason for declining quality of life should be the centralization of various societal resources, such as hospitals, education institutions, large companies and so forth. Centralizing fine resources in a place is originally why a city is founded, but over concentration can lead to high density of population who come to share these resources by being employed or starting a business, and cause problems in many social aspects including traffic congestion, high living cost, severe pollution, etc. Ironically, in spite of tight squeeze in small flats, city dwellers have no opportunity to develop close relationships with their family, friends and neighborhoods and the reason for such social isolation is that young people are busy competing for precious opportunities for a successful career and life, leaving little time for their personal life.

For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia)， but in 2006 the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade， briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag， 2006’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in 2007， though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years，European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty： the Maastricht treaty in 1992， the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997， the Treaty of Nice in 2001. And in 2005 they were supposed to ratify a European constitution，laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted， not immobilised， by this setback. D. In 2007 the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty —the Treaty of Rome， its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously， restating their commitment to “ever closer union”and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself， and in normal circumstances，the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless， a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto it) they will already be halfway towards committing themselves to a new treaty. All that will be necessary will be to incorporate the 50th-anniversary declaration into a new treaty containing a number of institutional

雅思写作之真题解析分享

雅思写作之真题解析 当拿到一道大作文题目去分析时，我们不仅仅需要去读懂题目本身的意思，同时还得了解到题目所涉及的是哪一类话题，它所考察的是一个什么能力，题目中是否有一些关键词需要格外注意以及对于这道题目所能想到的一些观点论证。 本文中，文都国际教育老师将和大家一起探讨两道典型的教育类话题。 As part of education, students should spend a period of time studying and living in a different country to learn its language and culture. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 审题： 题目翻译：作为教育的一部分，学生应该要花一段时间去海外学习和生活来学习当地的语言和文化。你在多大程度上同意或者不同意? 能力考查：这个教育类话题是同意不同意的考试指令，考查考生对于考官所呈现的社会现象或所表达的观点是否能够清晰地给出自己的想法并加以有效论证。一般来讲，碰到这种指令，理论上是可以写完全支持或者反对的，但是还是建议大家尽量尝试用折中的写法，即部分同意部分反对。这种一分为二的思考方式可以在考场上帮助你快速想出观点并进行有效作答，另外这种答题模式也不太会发生偏题的情况。 框架构造：Partly agree 1. 开头段(用于引出题目背景，并且表明自己的态度) 2. 论证出国学习和生活对于学习语言和文化的重要性 3. 但是，反面论证这种做法对于部分学生是不现实的 4. 结尾(再次重申自己的观点，并且可以给出自己的建议) Sample answer: Going abroad for further study has become more of a trend as large numbers of students participate in international language tests, such as IELTS or TOEFL. Some academics advocate that an experience of learning in foreign countries is a necessary part of education for language betterment and language acquisition. As for me, however, such practice should be considered with discretion. Admittedly, studying and living in another country can be an effective way to achieve the mentioned purposes. Compared with second-hand experience, living in the native environment can provide students with many opportunities to use the language to communicate with local people. Such language ability can make them be more competitive in the future job market. Meanwhile, living experiences can help students to have a deep insight into local life, including history, culture as well as religious belief.

Also, communicating online can avoid embarrassment and make it easier to make friends. 2.What are the disadvantages of social networking apps?

For me, one of the reasons I use social networking apps is that it makes it more convenient to communicate and interact with my friends, and it enables me to get to know more friends residing far away from me. I enjoyed using them since it gives me a sense of belonging and friendship. 4.How often do you use social networking apps? Well, I have to admit that I am among those addicted to social networking apps. On average, I use them for nearly 4 hours every single day. I use them to communicate with my friends, my teachers and even my family, and I also rely on them to reach new friends who share the same hobbies with me. Garbage 1.Do you think your city is clean or not? Actually I think my city is pretty clean. Although it can be a bit dirty sometimes

雅思真题讲解

雅思真题讲解：阅读考试中常识 雅思阅读考试的文章以大众题材为主, 内容涉及经济、教育、科技、医学、环境、能源、地质、海洋、动物等方面问题，而不涉及专业性很强的文章，以免给不同专业的考生造成优势或劣势；甚至有些知识都是我们日常生活中所了解的，因此在雅思阅读考试中，考生在拿到题目时可以首先考虑利用常识能否直接找出答案，而不是匆忙找定位词到文章中定位。下面我们结合题目具体说明常识在做题中的作用。 例一（剑六P71 The Search for the Anti-aging Pill） Questions 33-37 Classify the following descriptions as relating to A. caloric-restricted monkeys B. control monkeys C. neither caloric-restricted monkeys nor control monkeys 33. Monkeys were less likely to become diabetic. 34. Monkeys experienced more chronic disease. 35. Monkeys have been shown to experience a longer than average life span. 36. Monkeys enjoyed a reduced chance of heart disease. 37. Monkeys produced greater quantities of insulin. 解题： 首先读选项，我们会发现A 选项是卡路里即热量摄入受限制的猴子，而B选项，我们可以猜出它为热量摄入不受限制的猴子，当然若考生不确定可以到文章中定位找control monkeys，原文为“control animals that eat normally”,因此可以确定B选项为正常饮食即热量摄入不受限制的猴子。 接下来读题目，33题为“猴子成为糖尿病患者的几率减少”，根据常识我们都知道现在健康专家提倡人们减少卡路里即热量的摄入，因此我们可以断定此题答案为A；而34题为“猴子经历更多的慢性疾病”，根据同样的常识我又可以断定此题答案为B；36题为“猴子得心脏病的几率减少”，我们也可以得出答案为A。 35题和37题可能根据常识无法确定答案，这种情况下考生就需要利用定位词到文章中定位找答案了。 例二（剑五P89 Flawed Beauty: the problem with toughened glass） Questions 18-23 Complete the summary with the list of words A-P below. Toughened glass Toughened glass is favored by architects because it is much stronger than ordinary glass, and the fragments are not as 18________ when it breaks. However, it has one disadvantage: it can shatter 19________. This fault is a result of the manufacturing process. Ordinary glass is first heated, then cooled very 20________. The outer layer 21________ before the inner layer,

题型讲解：雅思听力配对题的详细分析

题型讲解：雅思听力配对题的详细分析今天三立在线教育雅思网为大家带来的是题型讲解：雅思听力配对题的详细分析的相关资讯，备考的烤鸭们，赶紧来看看吧！ 在雅思听力中，配对题是难度最大的一种题型，因为选项信息零散繁杂，很容易在录音中迷失方向，从而错过所有的关键信息，最终就是数题的连锁错误，让无数烤鸭梦断考场。所以，在雅思江湖中，人送绰号“断子绝孙”题，本文将引用剑桥雅思的真题实例，一点一滴分析雅思听力配对题的解题良策。 雅思听力中的文字类配对题从题目和选项的数量的关系来看，可以分为三种： 供大于求，即选项数量大于题干数量；供小于求，即选项数量小于题干数量；供求相等，即选项数量等于题干数量。下面我们来一一破解这三种配对题。 雅思听力配对题题型之一、供大于求型 它是三种配对题中难度系数最大的。当选项的数量大于题干的数量的时候，这类题目的选项一般都是对题干进行解释说明，极其容易出现同义替换，而且很多选项从内容来看，特别相似，所以它的干扰项也是极强的。 那么我们在做题目的时候就一定要非常明确题干中的核心词汇，弄清楚到底问题是什么，为定位做好准备，快速地看完选项，记住它的核心意思。 除此之外，在看选项的时候，除了看选项的核心词，还要抓住选项与选项之间的异同和联系。这时，我们要谨记“瞻前顾后，纵横联合”的八字战略，即通过横纵向对比来分析其潜在联系。这时，判断每句话的情感态度就显得尤为重要。

我们首先要将这些选项的观点进行分类，分类的重要依据就是其情感态度，即积极消极，情感的正负向以及句子里的肯定和否定，把这些作为听力重点，化被动为主动。同时，我们还要观察每句话中的动词时态，这也是判断情感色彩的指标之一。 例如：剑5 Test3 Section328-30题 Which opinions does each person express about Box Telecom? A) Its workers are motivated B) It has too little investment C) It will overcome its problems D) Its marketing campaign needs improvement E) It is old-fashioned F) It has strong managers 28. Karin _________ 29. Jason ________ 30. the tutor________ 这道题很明显是考察观点态度，我们通过横纵向对比，发现ACF是对Box Telecom的正面评价，而BDE三项是负面评价。那我们观察动词时态发现，除了C选项是一般将来时，表示对将来发生的情况进行的预测;而其余五个选项都是一般现在时，表示现在的状况。 28题Karin说道，Personally, I’ve got great hopes for it. I think it will recover. That advertising campaign they did was very strong and they’re very innovative with their products—they set new trends. The company’s got to recover, don’t you think, Jason?
