79. Rudy Giuliani: The Man Who Saved New York
Randolph William Louis "Rudy" Giuliani served as Mayor of New York, the largest city in the United States, during the darkest time in the city's, and nation's history. Taking office January 1, 1994, Giuliani was mayor during the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. His reaction to that horrible attack has been viewed by many as one of the best crisis-management cases the country has ever seen. However, his legacy as mayor is not limited to his actions following 9/11. He is also known for his tireless crusade against New York's organized crime, and corrupt businesses. He is credited for bringing organized crime boss John Gotti to justice.
Giuliani's image as being tough on crime launched him into a career in politics. As mayor of New York, he gained a reputation as a no-nonsense, tough guy that was able to get things done. His response to the crisis on September 11 earned him Time Magazine's Person of the Year recognition for 2001. He was also knighted by Britain's Queen Elizabeth in 2002.
Born into an Italian-American family in Flatbush, New York on May 28, 1944, his father had organized crime ties, which influenced him greatly as a child. His early education consisted of Catholic schools. He considered a career as a Roman Catholic priest for a time. He eventually graduated from Manhattan College as a political science major. He then attended the New York School of Law, and became an attorney.
During the days following the 9/11 attack, Giuliani made his presence known. He took to the media on a daily basis reassuring New Yorkers that the situation was in control, and that the city will recover, and become stronger than ever.
Although he has been heralded for his response during the September 11 attack, he was previously criticized for ignoring the Islamic threat of terrorism in light of the World Trade Center bombing of 1993.
When your pen is broken, you think that’s the end of its life. You throw it away. It then joins tons of other garbage that is becoming a big problem in cities.
Each day, about 10,000 tons of waste is produced in Guangzhou, and 17,000 tons of household waste is produced in Beijing. In other countries, the case is similar. “If you’re like most of us, most Americans, you’re making seven pounds (3.17kg) of trash a day,” US writer Edward Humes told CNN. So, an American makes 102 tons of trash in a lifetime.
If you simply throw away that broken pen, it goes to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and is buried together with many other trash. To prevent polluting the groundwater, workers cover the trash with soil and keep it dry. And your pen will stay there for a long, long time, without having further use. But it could have a better destination: the recycling bin.
Have you ever noticed the different colors of trash bins in the street? Many cities in China have been running a waste-sorting campaign. They divide trash into “recyclable waste” and “unrecyclable waste”. So in Yiwu there are many “Little Yellow Dog” appearing all around the city, even in our campus.
Recycling waste can save energy, reduce greenhouse gas, and keep space free for the unrecyclable trash. Take your pen as an example. At the recycling factory, its metal parts could be taken out and reused to make other things.
But recycling is not enough, experts say. Making less waste in the first place is the way forward. “The best thing to do is just to keep using your stuff for as long as you can,” US writer Adam Minter told Time Out magazine.
双语心情:
Memory: I clearly remember the excitement every time I got the magazine and How deeply I'm overwhelmed by a longing for the simple days without the Internet,or the mobile phone. The only way to know about the entertainment is via this magazine -the popular movies. Do this pictures bring your back to those good old days when we were young ?
记忆:还清楚记得每次拿上这个杂志时的激动心情,多么渴望回到那个没有网络,也没有手机的时代!我们了解娱乐界只有通过这个杂志-《大众电影》。这些封面照是否带你回到了那个美好时光当我们也很年轻?

One morning a young girl called, fashionably dressed, and stayed for half an hour or more. The same afternoon brought a grey-headed, seedy visitor, looking like a Jew pedlar, who appeared to me to be much excited, and who was closely followed by a slipshod elderly woman. On another occasion an old white-haired gentleman had an interview with my companion; and on another a railway porter in his velveteen uniform. When any of these nondescript individuals put in an appearance, Sherlock Holmes used to beg for the use of the sitting-room, and I would retire to my bed-room. He always apologized to me for putting me to this inconvenience. “I have to use this room as a place of business,” he said, “and these people are my clients.” Again I had an opportunity of asking him a point blank question, and again my delicacy prevented me from forcing another man to confide in me. I imagined at the time that he had some strong reason for not alluding to it, but he soon dispelled the idea by coming round to the subject of his own accord.
It was upon the 4th of March, as I have good reason to remember, that I rose somewhat earlier than usual, and found that Sherlock Holmes had not yet finished his breakfast. The landlady had become so accustomed to my late habits that my place had not been laid nor my coffee prepared. With the unreasonable petulance of mankind I rang the bell and gave a curt intimation that I was ready. Then I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and I naturally began to run my eye through it.
Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life,” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deductions appeared

#英语学习#之前我发了篇微头条,介绍了一个外刊下载的网站,今天我来给大家捋捋我们选择的英文杂志。
我家有2个小朋友,大的高三,小的小学一年级。
给老大看的杂志都是对标高考阅读的,因为近几年高考阅读中常出现外刊的文章,所以就打算然她通过阅读外刊的方式及早熟悉高考阅读题的行文方式,顺便也能积累点词汇。
主要刊物
《Reader's Digest(读者文摘)》
《Economist(经济学人)》
《Time(时代周刊 )》
《Beijing Review(北京周报)》
《China Report(中国报道)》
考虑到学校的学业安排已经很满了,所以每周在这几本杂志各选择1,2篇文章读读就行了。
给小朋友看的则以百科类和漫画类居多,主要还是培养兴趣。
主要刊物
《The Week Junior(少年周刊 )》
《National Geographic Kids( 国家地理儿童版 )》
《Beano(儿童漫画)》
《Cricket(蟋蟀王国)》
《TIME for Kids(时代周刊儿童版)》
《BBC Science Focus(BBC科学聚焦)》

《PuzzleLife PuzzlePad Crosswords(填字游戏)》
另外像《New Scientist》、《Astronomy(天文学)》这些书两个小朋友都会翻翻,找自己有兴趣的读。
以上的杂志在这里都能下载,但是得有耐心,每天及时记得去转转,及时下载,因为这些书都只会放最多2,3天,过时就链接失效了。
再说一下怎么找,到搜索引擎搜索“magazinelib”就行了。这个站纯属推荐,跟我没一毛钱关系,大家可以多去转转,种类很多很多,期待大家能找到自己需要的刊物。
