长江
(the Yangtze River)是世界第三长河，中国第一长河，全长6380公里。它发源于青海省，一路无数河流汇入，向东注入
东海
(the East China Sea)。作为中国古文化的发祥地，长江在历史、文化和经济上都对中国的发展有着极其重要的作用。长江是中国重要的运输线，被称为
“黄金水道”
(the Golden Waterway)，它将内陆和沿海的港口以及其他主要城市连接在一起。长江沿岸的自然风景非常秀丽，有众多的旅游景观。辽阔的
长江流域
(the Yangtze Basin)，拥有丰富的自然资源，自古以来就是中国最重要的农业生产基地。
在社会发展的不同阶段，教育公平的含义不同。总的说来，教育公平意味着人人享有平等的教育机会。教育公平不仅关系到个人的命运．而且也是国家未来发展的保证。中国城乡教育公平缺失是引起关注的问题之一。在一些农村和偏远地区，学生的辍学率很高，教学设施相对落后。优秀师资缺乏。而大城市中的学生却拥有先进的教学设施和良好的教师资源，接受素质教育。要促进教育公平，需要缩短城乡教育差距。合理
配置
(allocate)教育资源。
中国位于亚洲东部、太平洋的西岸，总面积约960万平方公里，是世界第三大国家。中国南北相距约5500公里，东西相距约5200公里，在地图上的形状像一只
雄鸡
(rooster)。中国
地势
(terrain)西高东低，地形多种多样，包括山地、
高原
(plateau)、
丘陵
(foothill)、盆地、平原。中国山地面积广大，几乎占陆地面积的三分之二。蕴藏着丰富的矿产资源。中国大陆海岸线长达18000公里，沿海岛屿数量众多，台湾岛是最大岛屿。中国有许多河流湖泊，是中国地理环境的重要组成部分。
城镇化进程
(urbanization process)是指由农业为主的乡村社会向以工业和服务业为主的城市社会逐渐转变的历史过程。作为一种社会现象和历史现象，城镇化既体现了物质文明的进步。也促进了精神文明的发展。改革开放以来，中国逐步放开了对人口流动的控制，大量的农村劳动力涌向城市。近年来，中国的城镇化进程逐渐加快。截止到2012年末。中国的城镇人口总数达到7．12亿，城镇化率超过了50％。中国城镇化发展还将持续几十年，将产生巨大的住宅需求和
基础性建设
(infrastructure construction)需求。

When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advo cates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal. With regard to futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever futurist poetry may be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right—it can hardly be classed as literature. This, in brief, is what the futurist says: for a century, past conditions of life have been conditionally speeding up, till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed. Consequently, our feelings, thoughts, and emotions have undergone a corresponding change. This speeding up of life, says the futurist, requires a new form of expression. We must speed up our literature too, if we want to interpret modern press. We must pour out a large stream of essential words, unhampered by stops, or qualifying adjectives, or finite verbs. Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them: we must use many sizes of type and different coloured inks on the same page, and shorten or lengthen words at will. Certainly their description of battles are confused. But it is a little upsetting to read in the ex planatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish officer and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river—and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers: "Pluff! Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms". This, though it fulfils the laws and requirements of futurist poetry, can hardly be classed as lit erature. All the same, no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition: that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression. The whole question is really this: have we essentially changed?
在中国大陆，
户口
(the certificate of registered residence)是中国公民在一个地方合法上学、就业、获得社会保障和分配住房(housing allocation)的重要证明。中国的
户口制度
(household registration system)方便了政府对当地居民和
流动人口
(floating population)的管理，但是不便于公民的自由流动。此外，中国的户口制度把公民分为“农业户口”与“非农业户口”两大类，造成了公民身份的城乡差别，阻碍了中国的城市化进程。人们一直呼吁户口制度改革，政府也正在逐步取消户口对人口流动的限制和缩小户口的城乡差别。

For about three centuries we have been doing science, trying science out, using science for the construction of what we call modern civilization. Every dispensable item of contemporary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another series of scientific experiments. Three hundred years seems a long time for testing a new approach to human inter-living, long enough to set back for critical appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument. Voices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets on the issue of nuclear energy. "Give it back," say some of the voices. "It doesn't really work, we've tried it and it doesn't work. Go back three hundred years and start again on something else less chancy for the race of man. " The principle discoveries in this century, taking all in all, are the glimpses of the depth of our ignorance of nature. Things that used to seem clear and rational, and matters of absolute certainty—Newtonian mechanics, for example—have slipped through our fingers; and we are left with a new set of gigantic puzzles, cosmic uncertainties, and ambiguities. Some of the laws of physics are amended every few years; some are canceled outright; some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress. Just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the DNA molecule was exposed to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. For a while, things seemed simple and clear: the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reassembling, like a tiny watch. But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today's imagining. It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do. What lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic research are continued, is much more than the conquest of human disease or the improvement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the sea. As we learn more about fundamental processes of living things in general we will learn more about ourselves.
