2.Going places
I feel it a great honour to be your tour guide today. First, on behalf of my company, I warmly welcome all my distinguished guests from Australia to Shanghai and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.
Located on the Huangpu River, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is now the symbol of the city. Built in 1994 and opened to the public in 1995, it is now the highest building in Shanghai and the third highest in Asia. The Tower has a quite unique structure and consists of 3 large and 5 small balls. Inside the balls, you can have a bird's eye view of the city.
Our schedule for the trip to the TV Tower is as follows: you have an hour form 9:30-10:30am to experience the history of Shanghai on the first floor. Then we'll assemble in the middle of the hall at 10:30 and have another hour to overlook the beautiful city sceneries in the middle ball. Finally please do remember to go to the top ball at 11:30 to enjoy your lunch.
Thanks for listening. Have a good time!
3.Unforgettable experiences
How time flies!I’m fifteen years now.During the long time,there was one thing that I will never forget.
The Spring Festival is our traditional festival.During the Spring Festival,people usually visit their friends and relatives.When I was 9 years old,my family took the bus to my grandparents’ to say “Happy New Year” to them.
In the bus,I had a good seat.At 7:30,the bus came to a village.A woman got on with a baby in her arms.At that time,there was no seat.But she must look after her baby carefully.She had to stand next to me.I wanted to stand up and let her sit down,but I was afraid of hearing the other people say“That girl want to be praised.”I looked around.Most people were looking out of the windows and some were sleeping.Suddenly,a little boy behind me,stood up and made room for the woman.She said “Thank you very much” with a big smile.The boy smiled,too.When I told my cousin about it after that,he said “The child is the father of a man.” I’m very ashamed.Why could’t I do the same thing as the little boy did?
From that I learn that we should do our best to help people who need help.If everyone makes a contribution to helping others,the world will become much more beautiful!
4.The silver screen
IMAGINE waking up alone in the city you live in. There is no one there to help you. You are the last survivor after a terrible virus strikes mankind, and all you have is your dog for company.
This is exactly what happens to Will Smith, star of I Am Legend, the latest addition to one of the most successful movie genres of all time, the disaster movie.
The film plays on humanity's eternal fear that the end of civilization lies just around the corner.
This idea has preoccupied the human mind since records began. It features in the world's oldest literature, from the Bible's apocalypse to the flood in The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Many early films featured small-scale disasters, such as the 1901 silent film Fire, simply about a blaze in a house. But the movie genre really came into its own during the Cold War.
The onset of the Atomic Age inspired a real fear in the American public that the same thing could happen to them at the hands of Russia.
This bred a fear of the other, the different and the un-American, a fear that movie producers happily played upon at the box office. The alien invasion theme in movies like Invaders from Mars, in which aliens land in a field and begin to take over the minds of people, had a parallel in reality.
Digital graphics and special effects gave the genre a new lease of life in the 1990s. Independence Day, Will Smith's first disaster film, was hugely successful in cinemas, even though it simply reworked a familiar alien invasion plot.
Yet the films also reflect ed a new fear: technophobia. This manifested itself in many ways, from industrial workers losing their jobs due to production line automation, through to the idea that machines could one day become our masters. The film that dramatizes these fears is Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
It should by now be easy to spot the key elements in disaster cinema. Disaster movies nearly always have some connection with real world events. The first climate change disaster movie, The Day After Tomorrow, which features a new ice age and a race to escape to a warmer place, is a perfect example of this.
They also provide Hollywood with an excuse to showcase the latest special effects technology. It should come as no surprise that I Am Legend features not only a killer virus, but also a group of computer generated, bloodthirsty monsters to keep viewers entertained.
He may be the last man on Earth, but Will Smith is not alone. The disaster movie will continue, unless of course, the real end of the world comes first.
5.Good manners
China Dining Custom
Table Manners
The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.
And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.
Eating No-no's
Don't stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!
Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.
Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's home,it is like insulting the cook.
Drinking
Gan Bei! (Cheers! “Gan Bei” literally means “dry [the] glass”) Besides beer, the official Chinese alcoholic beverage is Bai Jiu,high-proof Chinese liquor made from assorted grains. There are varying degrees of Bai Jiu. The Beijing favorite is called Er Guo Tou, which is a whopping 56% alcohol. More expensive are Maotai and Wuliangye.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.
