50 years ago, most people lived in rural areas. But the world has changed. By some point next year, more than half of all people will live in cities, for the first time in history. So says the most recent estimate from the United Nations. City life is not always a bad thing, but many experts worry about this process of urbanization. A new report from the World watch Institute says it is having a huge effect on human health and the quality of the environment. The environmental research group in Washington released its 2007 "State of the World" report last week. Of the 3 billion people who live in cities now, the report says, about 1 billion live in unplanned settlements. These are areas of poverty, slums, that generally lack basic services like clean water, or even permanent housing. The report says more than sixty million people are added to cities and surrounding areas each year, mostly in slums in developing countries. Molly O'Meara Sheehan led the Worldwatch report. She says the international community has been too slow to recognize the growth of urban poverty. Policymakers, she says, need to increase investments in education, health care and other areas.

More than five hundred sixty thousand foreign students attended an American collage or university during the last school year. It was the seventh streat year with more than half a million international students in the United States. Last year's group was about the same size as the year before which was good news for schools. Why? Because the number of students coming to the United States has been falling for two years. Today, in our foreign students series we present numbers from the latest open-doors report. The information is from the Institute of In ternational Education based in New York. India again sent the most students in the school year that began in autumn of two thousand five. India past China in two thousand one as the leading sender of foreign students to the United States. American schools last year had more than seventy-six thousand Indian students. That was a five percent drop from the year before the first reduction since nineteen ninety-six.
错误较少,原因是文章简单,没什么生词,看来词汇量很重要啊。
straight听出来了,但是不知道是哪个,所以写错了。

我的第一次网恋(六)
文/浪子狂涛
她哪里知道,我正在键盘前手舞足蹈地冒汗。
我不会QQ,一点都不会。只能看着屏幕着急。
第二天晚上,忙到10点多我才算是入门了:

11-09 22:14:22冰雪

可链上你了,想和你聊天!

11-09 22:29:19 冰雪
可惜,太晚了,只能说一小会了.
11-09 22:43:00大河奔流
我看到你叫我哥哥,好妹妹

11-09 22:30:01 冰雪
还有呢?
11-09 22:30:11 冰雪
e [一个图案]
11-09 22:44:20 大河奔流

11-09 22:31:05 冰雪
看到妹妹的心吗?
11-09 22:31:17 冰雪

我醉了耶O [↑]
11-09 22:35:00 冰雪
呵呵.
太累了,
还是早点休息吧。
明天,还得上课。
我睡不着了,对着屏幕,任思绪飞扬。我在想拥你入怀的感觉,寻找抱你入眠的体会,想着花儿一样的妹妹,我情不自禁的写下了如下篇章:
你不见了,可俺更想你了,天气一热你就蒸发了,天气一冷你就凝固了,不冷不热又怕你化了,少了你又把俺想坏了,没有你俺也不存在了,你来了俺就滋润了……
哦!
原来你是水做的!

射日的日子
文/浪子狂涛
抓一把泥土
掬在手里
听见了母亲的声音
看一眼古老的土地
伤痕已愈
仍难忘昔日的硝烟
九一八的日子
六十八年前的祖国
是怎样地被人蹂躏
一个古老的民族,
在日军的铁蹄下呻吟
一群军国主义的畜牲
在烧杀抢掠无恶不作
气壮山河的八年抗战
英勇的民族
终于战胜了
不可一世的侵略者
落日
落日
落日的日子啊
该是怎样的欢腾

看看日本皇民党的挑衅行径,看看小泉仍在把靖国神社当成他爹一样的崇拜,看看日本军国主义不断扩张的恶行,您就一定会知道当年“9.18”中日之战的起因了。
警惕,九.一八, 警惕,小日本忘我之心不死!
该死的小日本,犯下了滔天大罪,却仍在不断地伤害着中国及亚州人民的感情,他们不愿意,也根本没有勇气承认错误,它们是一群没有人性的畜牲,一群连猪狗都不如的畜牲!
“小日本”说它自己是人,那就该在字典里把“畜牲”这两个字去掉。
一个不愿意正视历史的民族,它犯下的罪行不可饶恕!

见面的第三天上午,收到了他的短信,邀请我共进午餐,问可否。我内心的高兴无法用语言表达。中午下班他开车到校门口接我。我们边吃边聊,他对我说:“我们年龄都不小了,我是男人,我不怕什么,你是女人,你耗不起,所以如果有什么觉得不合适的就直接说出来,免得耽误你。”我对这人又生了一层好感。从此以后,只要不见面,他每天都会给我发短信打电话。我习惯了每天晚上坐在电脑前用手机跟他聊天,或者听他用浑厚的声音跟我娓娓的叙说一天的见闻、趣事,甚至他很平凡的一天。
周末又到了,我们可以他带我去跟他的朋友们一起玩。并且把我介绍给他的朋友们。看来他认可我了,我心里暗暗的憧憬着未来。日子飞快的过去了,我们一起去亚太玩沙弧球、打保龄。晚上他给我发短信,问我玩得开心不,我怎么能不开心呢。
转眼新年就要到了,他陪我去妈妈那边贴春联,他比划着,我帮他看着是否端正,心里的感觉就像是家,很平和但却很幸福。要走了,邻居阿姨过来问我们什么时候结婚, 我的脸红了,真得盼望那一天早点到来。他去里屋给我拿了大衣,小声在我旁边嘱咐我给阿姨拜早年。然后开飞车送我会去上班,因为没时间吃午饭,怕我饿带我去吃驴肉火烧。以前很讨厌吃那东西,可是那天的驴肉火烧是我吃过得最美味的食物。
第二天他要回老家了,早上走的,我开始坐卧不安,没有他的任何消息。一直到晚上7点多,终于收到了他的信息:我已到家,勿念,念了吗?嗬嗬。怎能不念呢。我如实地告诉他:念了,念了一整天。他要吃饭了,暂时告别。但从此后他杳无音信了。

我的第一次网恋(四)
文/浪子狂涛
听完铃铃的课,上班轻松了许多。
要抓紧时间多学点知识,比如SOLID WORK 之类,这可是画立体图所必备的知识啊。
下了课的铃铃,穿着绣花小夹袄、牛仔裤、披着头发带着耳机,挽着我的手向平安公园走去。

不时从耳机中传出松涛的呼啸,这是她的玲声,又有人在呼叫。
为了我,她把铃声改了。
她的同事今天结婚,在津津渔港内摆的酒席。一对大大的“喜”字挂在大大的面板上。
新人在照合影的时候,笑着招她入伙,她笑逐颜开地跑了过去,合影后,也不管别人怎么看,欢快地向我跑来,新娘子跟了过来,看着我窃窃地笑着:
“哦,帅哥。”
铃铃立马接过话头:
“老帅哥!”
还是铃铃了解我,俺老帅了!
她象怕我跑了似的,挽着我的手,拉我去逛街……
晚上陪铃铃上课,才是我的最爱。老师的课俺喜欢听……
我喜欢痴迷地听玲玲老师上课,她的一份自信,一份潇洒,总是在不经意间挥洒,课常上的她就象一只飞翔的小鸟,一会儿飞到东,一会儿飞到西,全然不顾我的存在,带着同学们在英语的海洋里飞翔:
You come form Englang, I live in London ……
我盯着她傻傻地想着英镑的样子。
课堂上同学们的提问也是五花八门,有的上课申请上厕所,有的在课间打斗上报老师,还有的暗中较劲看谁得的奖励多。如果课堂气氛不够活跃,Teacher Pang 会煸起男女同学双方比赛的斗志:看谁得的小红花多,看谁插在对方卓上的红旗多,当然做的最好的孩子就是好宝宝。
我很幸运地被盖上了三个小图章,

乖。
听话!
是对我最好的奖励。
我成了她的好宝宝。
我不是一个好学生,上了两次课我就想逃课,在课堂上我只能好好地坐在最后一排,老老实实地听讲,下了课,呵呵,她就属于我了。
生如夏花之绚丽,死如秋叶之静美。人生如梦,既然得到了,真挚的爱,就应该好好把握。我一点都不后悔,爱我所爱,无怨无悔。
我不停地想着,一种爱意从心头升起,这种全身心的付出,这样的体会,一生难求。
林子大了什么鸟都有,我就是栖息在林子里的那只爱情鸟。
消息对象:冰雪

11-08 21:39:07
是你?
11-08 21:41:39 冰雪
涛涛????????
11-08 21:52:35 冰雪
涛涛~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

11-08 22:14:13 冰雪?/P>
11-08 22:14:43 冰雪
涛涛,你出来。
11-08 22:38:26 冰雪
我走了。88

我的第一次网恋(三)
文/浪子狂涛
今天的感觉真好,是你吗?我的爱!
真喜欢听到你的消息:
“向东看,那是什么?”
“涛涛,浪子狂涛。”
这可是你说的。
昨晚睡的太晚,有时还睡不着,迷迷糊糊的熬了一夜,早晨的心一直是忐忑不安的,我有点把握不住,有点不能自持,有点尚失信心。
给她打电话,告诉了她我的困惑。
“哥,一晚不睡,你困不困呀你。”
她象哄小孩一样地约我到爱娃外国语教育学院去。
看看她们的学校,听听她的英语课。
这真是十分有意义的一天,孩子们朗朗的读书声不断地涌入耳际,感觉时光倒流,仿佛又回到了少年时期那一段难以忘怀的青春岁月……
现在的中学生正是思想开始活跃,思维开始跳跃的时期,孩子们的童趣在课堂上听到了充分的展现。课堂上,气氛很活跃,除了英语的话题外,铃铃老师温柔的话语,形体语言的表达都得到了完美的展示,她早已经忘记了我的存在,给我上了一堂生动有趣的外语教学课……
就象在指挥着一场交响乐章一样,课堂里的气氛:有时象小提琴在拉如歌的行板,有时又象激越的长笛在细诉思念,有时是萨克斯在倾诉,有时是架子鼓在咆哮,有时是信马游僵的小号在呤唱这如醉如痴的梦境,演奏出一曲激烈的乐章,宛若一个镇定自若的指挥家,铃铃老师在读着:
It’s time for sleep
It’s time for go to bed want to do
这不免让我想入非非…
听的我要睡着了。
唉,
聪明可人的铃铃。
总能给我创造出一些意外。
