when did sport begin? if sport is, in essence, play, the claim might be made that sport is much older than humankind, for , as we all have observed, the beasts play. dogs and cats wrestle and play ball games. fishes and birds dance. the apes have simple, pleasurable games. frolicking infants, school children playing tag, and adult arm wrestlers are demonstrating strong, transgenerational and transspecies bonds with the universe of animals - past, present, and future. young animals, particularly, tumble, chase, run wrestle, mock, imitate, and laugh (or so it seems) to the point of delighted ehaustion. their play, and ours, appears to serve no other purpose than to give pleasure to the players, and apparently, to remove us temporarily from the anguish of life in earnest.
some philosophers have claimed that our playfulness is the most noble part of our basic nature. in their generous conceptions, play harmlessly and eperimentally permits us to put our creative forces, fantasy, and imagination into action. play is release from the tedious battles against scarcity and decline which are the incessant, and inevitable, tragedies of life. this is a grand conception that ecites and provokes. the holders of this view claim that the origins of our highest accomplishments ---- liturgy, literature, and law ---- can be traced to a play impulse which, paradoically, we see most purely enjoyed by young beasts and children. our sports, in this rather happy, nonfatalistic view of human nature, are more splendid creations of the nondatable, transspecies play impulse.
the origin of sports!
The above bar chart shows the results of a report concerning the ideal career standards of most university students. Based on the data offered, steadiness, high salary and comfortable environment are highly acclaimed by students. What is reflected in the chart is most thought-provoking and worth discussing among the general public for the time being.
The contributing factors responsible for this phenomenon can be summarized as follows. To begin with, the spirit of challenge is missing among most university students. As is indicated in the chart above, the majority of students regard steadiness as their top ideal career standard. The very fact shows that now most university students lack the confidence and courage to face hardships and difficulties in terms of work. Whats more, most students are money-oriented and self-centered. Therefore, high income and comfortable environment are viewed as the most important factors in terms of their standards, which indicates most people lack the spirit of serving the people and rewarding the society. In short, the employment ideal of university students needs to be adjusted.
In my view, some necessary measures should be taken to establish new ideal occupation standards among university students. For one thing, a widespread education campaign must be launched to popularize correct employment concepts. For another, a healthy social environment should be created so as to guide the development of students mind. Only in these ways can university students find their ideal jobs in our harmonious society.
chinese language faces some challenges. as compared with english and other latin based languages, chinese is less popular and more difficuh for computer word processing. some college students, wondering whether it is still one of the best languages in the world, neglect chinese study.
etensive research has revealed that chinese possesses many advantages over other languages. written chinese is based on a set of ideogram characters. from a simple word one may obtain a wealth of information about its hidden meaning, evolution history and related phrases. historians can decipher the damaged ancient characters carved on o hones but no such achievement could be obtained with latin-based languages. to epress a given idea, the chinese version is always the shortest, most accurate and most , chinese kids learn chinese by memorizing patterns or funny pictures which stimulate curiosity and imagination. it is well recognized that human brains work well with patterns and pattern recognition in turn promotes brain development. whats more, chinese is also easy to learn. many foreigners speak chinese fluently after a few years of learning. recently, several word processing programs have been successfully developed for chinese language and turned out to be better than those designed for english.
chinese is the crystallization of the splendid culture developed continuously for over 5,000 years. many treasures remain to be eplored. as china grows stronger, more and more foreigners will learn chinese and share the invaluable treasure.
The kitchen is my favorite room in a house, because it is where families gather. To me, that is the most important thing. So many of the memories people have of growing up revolve around the kitchen. My childhood memories concern the kitchens in my grandparents ‘homes.
My mother’s family lived in a row house in the city. The rooms were all small, and that included the kitchen. In the summertime, when we’d visit, the back door of the house would be left open. People would be sitting on the back porch and in the kitchen, talking and laughing, while my grandmother made dinner. There was no air-conditioning, but I don’t ever remember feeling too hot. There was always a breeze coming through, along with the sounds of traffic and kids playing ball in the street.
My father’s family liver on a farm in the country, and their house had a huge kitchen with windows on three sides. It seems like the windows were always open and the curtains blowing with the breeze. The main door to the house was almost never used. Everyone came in through the kitchen, and sat at the big table in the middle of the room. When dinner was being prepared, all the women would bustle around, while the men sat at the table talking about farm prices. Sometimes my grandmother wouldn’t even sit down during dinner, but would be refilling bowls of food and people’s glasses. From outside ,we could hear the cows in the field near the house.
These two kitchens are the background for some of my happiest memories. From the beginning of time, human beings have gathered together near the fire where the food was being prepared. I hope that never changes.
I think high school students should be allowed to choose some of the subjects they study. However, the basic subjects, like mathematics, literature, and science, should be mandatory for all students.
When I was in high school, we were allowed to choose three electives each semester. Electives were subjects that weren’t part of the basic curriculum. They included things like music, journalism, art, and various kinds of team sports. Choosing some of these subjects to study gave me a chance to experiment. I was able to get a head start on what I was going to study in college.
However, college preparation shouldn’t be the main factor. I think all students should be allowed to take a certain number of courses just because they’re interested in them. For many students, high school is the last chance to learn about things they’re interested in. Maybe once they have a job there won’t be time for studying.
Of course, it’s also important that students study certain basic subjects. If I’d had a choice, I know I wouldn’t have studied mathematics or science. I wasn’t very interested in them. However, once I was in class, I found myself getting interested. I wouldn’t have known this if I’d been given the choice, because I would have chosen not to take the courses.
High school students aren’t always the best judges of what they’ll find useful in the years ahead. They need the guidance of experts in the field of education. However, they also need some freedom to follow their curiosity and individual interests. They should be given the freedom to choose some courses, while being required to take others.
In most cases, one should never judge a person by external appearances. Sometimes when I walk down the street at night, I avoid people who are acting tough and loud, but in general, I prefer to reserve judgment until I get to know someone. Judging someone by external appearance can be deceptive. Judgments based on external appearances prevent you from getting to know a person reinforce stereotypes, and are superficial and limiting.
In high school, I stayed away from students who were called the "bad students" because they dressed a certain way. I wanted nothing to do with them. I later had the chance to meet one of these "bad students" because of our mothers, we started talking and I realized that we had a lot in common. My impression of him was very different once I got to know him.
If you form an opinion of someone based on stereotypes, you risk never getting to know someone who is different. You may are be missing out on an opportunity to make a good friend. In addition, you are reinforcing that stereotype by believing it without given the person a chance. If you take the time to get to know the person, you might become friends.
Judging people by external appearance is superficial and often unfair. After all, you don't know what circumstances the person might be facing or who the person really is. Perhaps the person comes from a less fortunate family than you and cannot afford the kind of stylish clothes your friends wear. However, that does not mean the person is less intelligent or interesting than you are.
People should not be naive about new people they meet, but should take time to get to know them. External appearance often does not tell us anything about a person. Judging someone by their appearance is misleading, reinforces stereotypes, and is limiting. Doing so could prevent you from making a true friend.
"happy birthday to you" where did that song come from?
the story of how the song "happy birthday to you" came to be, began as a sweet one, that later soured. two sisters, mildred hill, a teacher at the louisville, kentucky eperimental kindergarten, and dr. patty hill, the principal of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, entitled "good morning to all." when mildred combined her musical talents, as the resident epert on spiritual songs, and as the organist for her church, with her sisters epertise in the area of kindergarten education, "good morning to all" was sure to be a success.
the sisters published the song in a collection entitled "song stories of the kindergarten" in 1893. thirty-one years later, after dr. patty hill became the head of the department of kindergarten education at columbia universitys teacher college, a gentleman by the name of robert h. coleman published the song, without the sisters permission. to add insult to injury, he added a second verse, the familiar "happy birthday to you."
mr. colemans addition of the second verse popularized the song and, eventually, the sisters original first verse disappeared. "happy birthday to you," the one and only birthday song, had altogether replaced the sisters original title, "good morning to all."
after mildred died in 1916, patty, together with a third sister named jessica, sprang into action and took mr. coleman to court. in court, they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody. because the family legally owns the song, it is entitled to royalties from it, whenever it is sung for commercial purposes.
