So while the average American student is aware of China‘s geographical presence, they are not quite as aware of its cultural presence. This is grossly unfair. China has a population of 1.3 billion and 5,000 years of uninterrupted history. Both of these numbers dwarf their U.S. counterparts. There is a clear need to raise cultural awareness of China in the United States.

2. translation
a. It‘s true that big law firms, major teaching hospitals, and investment banks—heck,
even the offices of FORTUNE –are stuffed with Ivy Leaguers. It also true that if you want to a career at what passes for the American establishment—a gilt-edged diploma is a distinct advantage.
b. The same traits that made the students desirable candidates for admission to Yale --

presidential election in U.S. history, one that fundamentally changed national politics in communication strategy and voter outreach.

Lesson Nineteen
1. words to know
Above politics, annus horribilis, apolitical stand, constitutional monarch/ monarchy, cult of personality, dissolve Parliament, figurehead, head of state, parliamentary democracy, take sides, the Commonwealth, usurp power, waive the power

China Arrests Former Security Czar in Major Political Purge Dec. 6, 2014 From “Time” China's former Politburo Standing Committee Member Zhou Yongkang attends the closing ceremony of the National People's Congress (NPC) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, March 14, 2012. Jason Lee—Reuters Zhou Yongkang faces serious corruption charges Chinese authorities arrested the nation‘s former security czar Zhou Yongkang, once considered the most feared man in China, just before midnight on Dec. 5–the first ever arrest of a member of the nation‘s ruling Politburo Standing Committee, retired or sitting. The 72-year-old Zhou was also expelled from the Chinese Communist Party. Zhou‘s suspected rapsheet is extensive, according to Xinhua, the Chinese state newswire: ―The [party‘s] investigation found that Zhou seriously violated the Party‘s political, organizational and confidentiality discipline. He took advantage of his posts to seek profits for others and accepted huge bribes personally and through his family, the statement said. He abused his power to help relatives, mistresses and friends make huge profits from operating businesses, resulting in serious losses of state-owned assets. Zhou leaked the Party‘s and country‘s secrets. He seriously violated self-disciplinary regulations and accepted a large amount of money and properties personally and through his family. Zhou committed adultery with a number of women and traded his power for sex and money.‖ For months, the noose had been tightening around Zhou, who retired from the Standing Committee in 2012 due to age limits. Dozens of his known associates and underlings were arrested in three of his previous spheres of influence: the nat ion‘s domestic security apparatus, which received more official funding than the Chinese military did; the highly lucrative state-owned oil industry; and the populous province of Sichuan. Zhou‘s family members, including his wife, brother and son, have bee n detained. Last year, Bo Xilai, a former Zhou political acolyte and ex-chief of Chongqing municipality, was sentenced to life imprisonment for corruption and other crimes. Over the summer, the party had placed Zhou under formal investigation for ―serious disciplinary violations,‖ a codeword for corruption. It was quite the comedown for a man who once controlled the nation‘s panopticon state security machine. Since taking office in 2012, China‘s President Xi Jinping has unleashed an anti-graft campaign that has resulted in thousands of arrests of government officials. Xi famously promised to nab both ―tigers and flies,‖ high-ranking leaders and the lowliest of communist cadres. And there was no mightier tiger than Zhou. Zhou will almost certainly be convicted, if past political investigations are any indication. But it‘s still going to take a lot more than midnight announcements to convince a skeptical public that graft won‘t flourish in China‘s future.

The lead includes the five “W”( what where why when and who).that made the readers read the article immediately.The writer then provides the rest of the information and supporting contextual details in descending order of importance, leaving the least essential material for the very end. This gives the completed story the form of an inverted pyramid, with the most important elements, or the 'base' of the story, on top.For example, if I write, 'Two children were injured when fire swept through the First Community Church, Detroit, Michigan, on May 10. The fire is believed to have started from unattended candles.' That's complete, but a lot of details can be added in succeeding paragraphs. If space is tight, an editor can cut from the bottom and still save the essential elements." 2.To create an inverted pyramid structure, follow these guidelines: 1, Use clear, meaningful headings or lists at the beginning of a topic. 2. Create separate paragraphs or topics to emphasize important points. 3, Do not bury your main point in the middle of a paragraph or topic.. 3.the journalist English has three important features :firstly-the reporters are sammilar to the article of the report content ,so the reporters can apply to appropriate words and express the relative contents which including some professional words. second :the news usually used the short and active voice sentence third , the structure of news is always loose, at the same time, there is closely among the paragraphs. 4.- A museum commemorating the Flying Tigers, a US air squadron that helped the Chinese fight the Japanese in World War II, opened to the public in central China's Hunan Province on Tuesday.

Unit2 Gender Issues Men turn to jobs women usually do 1.HOUSTON - Over the last decade, American men of all backgrounds have begun flocking to fields such as teaching, nursing and waiting tables that have long been the province of women. 2."The way I look at it is that anything, basically, that a woman can do, a guy can do," said Miguel Alquicira, who graduated from high school when construction and manufacturing jobs were scarce and became a dental assistant. 3.The trend began well before the crash,and appears to be driven by a variety of factors, including financial concerns, quality-of-life issues and a gradual erosion of g ender stereotypes. 4.In interviews, about two dozen men played down the economic considerations, saying that the stigma associated with choosing such jobs had faded, and that the jobs were appealing not just because they offered stable employment, but because they were more satisfying. 5."I.T. is just killing viruses and clearing paper jams all day," said Scott Kearney, 43, who tried information technology and other fields before becoming a nurse in the pediatric intensive care unit at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. 6.An analysis of United States census data by The New York Times shows that from 2000 to 2010, occupations that are more than 70 percent female accounted for almost a third of all job growth for men, double the share of the previous decade. 7.That does not mean that men are displacing women - those same jobs accounted for almost two-thirds of women's job growth. But in Texas, for example, the number of men who are registered nurses nearly doubled in that time period. 8.The shift includes low-wage jobs as well. Nationally, two-thirds more men were bank tellers, almost twice as many were receptionists and two-thirds more were waiting tables in 2010 than a decade earlier. 9.Even more striking is the type of men who are making the shift. From 1970 to 1990, according to a study by Mary Gatta, senior scholar at Wider Opportunities for Women, an organization based in Washington, D.C., and Patricia A. Roos, a sociologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, men who took so-called pink-collar jobs tended to be foreign-born, non-English speakers with low education levels. 10.Now, though, the trend has spread among men of nearly all races and ages, more than a third of whom have a college degree. In fact, the shift is most pronounced among young, white, college-educated men like Charles Reed, a sixth-grade math teacher at Patrick Henry Middle School in Houston. 11.Mr. Reed, 25, intended to go to law school after a
