Where
there
is
a
will,
there
is
a
way.
This
proverb
means
that
if
you
are
really
determined to do something, however
difficult it might be, you will
1)F.
eventually
find a
way to
do it well. The
2) r
point
is
that
you must
have the will to
achieve
success.
Ninety
percent
of
the
failures
that
occur
are
due
to
the
fact
that
there is no strong will
involved. Many people simply say that they want
something,
but they do not make any
3) or
to achieve it. So,
instead of getting it, they
use the
poorest excuse to explain the situation away.
On
many
occasions,
people
tend
to

every
minute
obstacle,
making
the
objective impossible to
attain. In reality, if they have the will to
succeed, they can get
rid of the
5) aps
and achieve their
goals.
Only those with a(n)
6)N.
committed
and focused will and spirit
can fight their way
to
final
victory.
Many
a
famous
man
has
the
same
experience.
They
have
7)ed
their
prestige
because
they
have
had
the
will
to
8)end
apparently insuperable
(
无法克服的
) obstacles. Many
artists, statesmen, writers and
inventors
have
manged
to
succeed
because
they
possess
a
fierce
will,
which
has
helped them to accomplish major
9)K. feats
.
Therefore,
we
can
see
that
the
main
thing
which
one
needs
is
a
strong
will.
Weak

people never climb to the top. They collapse at

Strong

从长远来看,对于国家更是一件好事,创业者正是让中国经济

尤其是在当前,国家鼓励大众创业、万众创新,在政策上给予中小企业

Young

is
the

of

entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases
job opportunities, improves
people

also good for the country in the

Entrepreneurs
are
a

and
giving

Social anxiety

the tendency for self

While these changes are
fairly universal,
those of us who were

adulthood. An anxious temperament causes
our brains to react forcibly when

the fear

in

this is
easier said than done. The fear may cause you to

我们
称之为

其基本内
涵是实现国家富强、

中国梦,
是让每一个积极进取的中国人形成世世代代的信念:
只要经过不懈的奋斗便能获

心迈向繁荣,而不是
依赖于社会和他人的援助。
每个中国人都是
中国梦的参与者和创造者。
中国梦是

的梦。
Realizing the great
national rejuvenation, which we define as the
Chinese Dream,
has
been
the
greatest
Chinese
expectation
since
modern
times.
It
basically
means
achieving
prosperity
for
the
country,
renewal
of
the
nation
and
happiness
for
the
people,
thus
ensuring
that
every
enterprising
Chinese
carries,
generation

generation,
the
firm
conviction
that
a
better
life
is
accomplished
through
persistent
effort.
People
should
achieve
their
prosperity
through
diligence,
courage,
creativity
and
determination
instead
of
aid
from
society
or
other
people.
Each
individual
is
a

and
a

in
the
cause
of
realizing
the

for
it
is
a

Ink
and
wash
painting,
one
of
the
unique
traditional
art
forms
of
China,
is
representative of Chinese painting. It
began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and
then prospered in the Song and Yuan
dynasties. With a history of over one thousand
years,
it
has
experienced
constant
development,
improvement
and
perfection.
The
tools and materials used
to create ink and wash painting, i.e. brushes,
rice paper, and
ink,
are
characteristic
of
Chinese
culture
and
closely
related
to
the
features
of
the
paintings.
For
example,
the
mixing
of
water
and
ink
creates
different
shades
of
dryness, wetness,
thickness and thinness. The integration and
infiltration of water, ink,
and
rice
paper
enables
such
paintings
to
convey
rich
images,
and
hence
to
achieve
unique
aesthetic effects.
Ink and wash
painting holds a high status in the history of
Chinese painting, and it is even
regarded as the criterion to evaluate the artistic
level
of Oriental paintings.

as one of the necessities. Meanwhile, China is a
country with ancient civilization and a
land of courtesy. The practice of making and
serving tea is essential whenever there
are guests or friends. With the development of
cultural exchange, commerce and trade
between China and other countries, Chinese
tea and tea culture spread to the
world. Today, a number of countries across the

中央电视台春节联欢晚会(简称“
春晚”
)自
1983
年开办以来,已成
为中国人
文化生活中不可缺少的文化消费品和一个挥之不去的文化符号。虽然众口难调,
但必须承认的是,
“春晚”已成为公众所不可缺少的“新民俗”
。春晚不仅是一台
晚会,更是一种仪式与象征,一种文化与标签
,一种情感与寄托。随着时代发展
及新媒体的出现,观众的选择和需求日渐多样化,
p>
“春晚”也在与时俱进,以满
足大众日益增长的文化需求。
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala (Spring
Festival Gala for short), which was started
in
1983,
has
become
an
indispensable
cultural
consumer
product
and
a
cultural
symbol in the cultural life of the
Chinese people. Though it's hard to satisfy the
tastes
of
all
the
people,
it
has
to
be
admitted
that
the
Spring
Festival
Gala
has
become
a
more than a gala; it is a
ritual and a symbol, a culture and a label, and an
emotion and
a place where people
entrust their hearts to. With the development of
the times and the
emerging
of
new
media,
the
audiences
are
having
more
diversified
choices
and
demands.
Correspondingly, the Spring Festival Gala is also
advancing with the times
to satisfy the
growing cultural needs of the people.
