Turning once again to the question of invasion, I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast when an absolute guarantee against invasion, still less against serious raids, could have been given to our people. In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading (封锁) fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited and befooled (愚弄) the imaginations of many continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted, and when we see the originality of malice (怨恨), the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem (战略) and every kind of brutal and treacherous (奸诈)maneuver (花招). I think that no idea is so outlandish (古怪的) that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace (威胁) of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. This is the resolve of His Majesty's government - every man of them. This is the will of parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious (可憎的) apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag (变弱) or fail.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost might be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated (征服) and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò

McGrady's Spectacular Artöź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
1 When Tracy McGrady is healthy, his play can be so beautiful that even his own teammates on the court cannot help but admire it - in the middle of a gameöź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
2 "It's hard for me, because I'm a fan of basketball," Houston point guard (负责组织进攻的后卫) Rafer Alston told The Houston Chronicle (记事) newspaper after McGrady's 44-point performance against Utah on January 5. "When he's shooting the ball like that, a lot of times I'm standing there watching and, all of a sudden, the other team's getting the ball and going on a fast break (快攻), and I'm getting yelled at by the coach." Indeed, McGrady's body control, his energy, his shooting - watching these is like watching an artist at work, blending colors, constructing sentences, or playing music.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
3 Unfortunately, McGrady, 27, hasn't always been on the job. Already this season, he's missed seven games with back spasms (痉挛) After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can't seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won two and lost fiveöź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
4 "Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he can do with the basketball," forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. "From a fan's perspective - and we're fans even though we're players - it's really fun to watch him do that. From a player's perspective, his game (风格) can affect the entire team. No question We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody."öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
5 But it won't, really. Houston has just begun a tough time. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team (双人看守) McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady's teammates will need to create a little art of their own.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò

第一篇öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Youth Emancipation in Spainöź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
The Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Around 55 percent of people aged 18-34 in Spain still sleep in their parents' homes, says the latest report from the country's state-run Institute of Youth.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
To coax (劝诱) young people from their homes, the Institute started a "Youth Emancipation (解放)" program this month. The program offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Economists blame young people's family dependence on the precarious (不稳定的) labor market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists (社会学家). Family ties in south Europe - Italy, Portugal and Greece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Key for Understanding".öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
"In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized" said Minguez.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
In Spain - especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews (外甥/侄子) all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Parents' tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
"A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he'll put up a fight and call the father a fascist," said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos I11 University in Madrid.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Mothers' willingness to do children's household chores (家务) worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso, a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest, 28, has a girlfriend and a job. But life with mum is good.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
"His mum does the wash and cooks for him; in the end, he lives well," Masso said.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò

Road Trip Vacationsöź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
It's summer. In the United States, it's the season of swimming pools, barbeques (户外烤肉), camping and road trips.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
"Ever since I went to college, I've been traveling around a lot, exploring the country," said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore."öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you don't have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive."öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels (汽车旅馆)started appearing outside cities.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate (洲际的) highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up (突然出现) everywhere making long distance trips easier.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Though many college students don't own a car, most have access to one. On many of Hawkins' trips, they used a borrowed van.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Hawkins' most memorable road trip took place over spring break.

Tightened Visa Regulationsöź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
According to South Korea's new visa regulations, native speakers of English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks, medical and drug tests, provide sealed academic transcripts (成绩单)and have their university diplomas inspected, The Korea Times has reported The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17,000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas-specifically for foreign language teachers.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing (居住) outside South Korea will have to have an interview at a South Korean Embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada, Australia or the US, this is an additional travel burden. Meanwhile, foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after their one-year contracts and renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation (文件证据).öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers. A report from the South Korean Ministry of-Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August of this year, 1,481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged (伪造的) degrees, visa violations and general lawbreaking.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South .Korea's English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy, manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea, applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits (书面陈述书) for documents. "South Korea-has put up too many hoops (圈) to jump through," he said, adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere. Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions. "I don't think (South) Korea has thought this through," said Scott Mclnnis, a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul. "This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFL community."öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
As part of the efforts to ease the discontent (不满), the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary documents.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò

I learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa would be different from being a teacher at Renmin University.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
(46) Eyes staring, mouths open, students examined my big nose, while I was writing my name on the blackboard.öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
At Iowa, when my first classes began, half of my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns (哈欠) interrupted my opening remarks. It is not that American students were disrespectful. (47) They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them for their skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities - especially freshmen and sophomores - often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, the TA sets the course content. (48) Most have good intentions, but very few are as effective as professors. öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning - no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project - dealing with these is all part of the job. (49)öź8U{õÐ\Vbbs.3c3t.comhk7Îü*ý´ò
