Homer
荷马史诗
The
Homeric
poems
for
the
first
time
expressed
ideas
of
rationality
and
emancipation from myth.
In
homer
we
also
find
for
the
first
time
the
spirit
of
competition.
In
time
this
became
the Olympic Idea----an idea of noble contest
marked by a spirit of high moral
endeavor, rather than that of
antagonism.
(7)Nancy Reagan
& Ronald Reagan
里根夫妇
With
Nancy
Reagan
at
his
side,
Ronald
Reagan
went
to
become
governor
of
California and one of the most
influential presidents in American history.
The
image
of
Nancy
can
range
from
a
frivolous,
controlling
socialite
to
a
savvy
woman, loyal friend and steadfast
helpmate.
She is unpopular in the early
years of her husband
’
s
presidency----due in part to a
flap
over her purchase of new china for the white house
during a deep recession. After
leaving
Washington,
Nancy
became
a
more
sympathetic
figure.
She
stood
beside
her
ailing husband during
his struggle with
Alzheimer
’
s disease.
Nancy
encourages
her
husband,
who
had
once
famously
referred
to
the
Soviet
Union
as
an
“
evil
empire
”
,
to
begin
a
dialogue with
Soviet
leaders.
The
thaw
led

a
number
of agreements to reduce nuclear war.

(
网坛名将

“
99 percent
certain
”
that she will never
compete again and add to her seven grand slam
titles or the 209 weeks she spent as
world No.1.
She started her new career:
television commentary.
In the end,
chronic heel problems and a dwindling desire to
play through pain did the
job for her
opponents, forcing her to retire at 22.
Retirement does not dull her sense of
humor.
“
I love commentary.
This way I make it to
the finals no
matter what.

(9) crop circle
麦田怪圈
Many skeptics have discussed whether or
not these designs are the creation of humans,
supernatural forces, or aliens.
Ever since the 1970s, when
a surge of strange but immaculate circular shapes
began
appearing in fields in southern
England, people from around the globe have sought
answers
to this enigma.
With groups such as the Circle Makers
and the like now taking credit for many of the
circles, hoaxers are trying to add more
mystery to their creations by delving into
religious
beliefs
and
supernatural
phenomena,
turning
this
practice
into
a
virtual
underground
expression, and securing its interests
for years to come.
这个是写神秘迷信的绝好例子。

Li
Yundi
李云迪（钢琴王子啊！
）
Victory in 2000 at the
renowned Warsaw Chopin Competition
华沙肖邦钢琴大赛
Brief but intense musical development
At the age of
nine he had decided on his professional goal----
he wanted to become a
pianist.
Li was not only one of the
youngest winners in the history of the
competition, but also
the first person
in 15 years to be awarded a first prize.
Young artists----
particularly from china----were reproached for a
lack of interpretative
abilities----in
other words,
for
a
lack
of
depth----one was
now
forced
to
recognize
that
the
grounds for such
prejudices have gone.
How
does
a
pianist
educated
outside
of
the
European
cultural
circle
penetrate
Chopin’s
world of conflict
and sense of longing for his homeland?
这个例子可以用来写志向啦，偏见啦

the Brooklyn Bridge
布鲁克林大桥
----
意志之桥
Connect the island
of Manhattan with the borough of Brooklyn
1883,
a
creative
engineer
name
John
Roebling
was
inspired
by
an
idea
to
build
a
spectacular bridge
connecting
…
别人嘲笑说：
impossible feat ,
chase wild vision
After discussion and
persuasion, he managed to convince his son
Washington.
A tragic accident on the
site took the life of John. Washington was injured
and left
with a certain amount of brain
damage, not being able to move except his fingers.
In spite of his handicap, Washington
was never discouraging and still had a burning
desire to complete the bridge and his
mind still as sharp as before.
For
13
years,
Washington
tapped
out
his
instructions with
his
fingers
on
his
wife
’
s
arm.
The
bridge
stands
as
a
tribute
to
the
triumph
of
one
’
s
indomitable
spirit
and
his
determination not to be defeated by
circumstances.
Also the tribute of to
the engineers and their team work
Tangible monument to the love and
devotion of his wife
This is the best
example of a never-say-die attitude that overcome
a terrible physical
handicap and
achieves an impossible goal.
Seemingly
impossible dreams can be realized with
determination and persistence, no
matter what the odds are.
这个
用来写意志，奉献，坚持不懈，团队合作。

德国画家杜勒的祈祷之手非常有名
。因为杜勒生于一个养育

个孩子的贫穷家庭，
杜勒排行老二，他和大哥都热爱艺术，但家庭条件不允许两个人同时学艺，所以杜勒和哥

画家杜勒

杜勒的

）
Videos of kidnappers holding foreign
hostages at gunpoint.
Any one can use
the Internet to manipulate and frighten.
Growing
uncertainty over the credibility of Web sites
Islamic
militant groups use the Internet as a terror
platform.
Web
sites, Arabic
satellite
television
channels
and
even news
agencies
have
become
tools of Islamic
terrorists to install fear.
Media
organizations need to draw up a new code of ethics
to counter the goals of
Islamic
terrorist groups and deny them the popularity to
threaten and terrorize.
这个是媒体负面作用的绝好材料。

Yet,

limelight while the history is replete with
stories about a few famous individuals.
