让作文教学变得快乐起来的尝试

面对毫无写作兴趣的学生,如果只是简单地告诉他们作文的要求,读几篇范文,然后叫他们写作,这样效果肯定不好。因此在设计写作主题时必须抓住学生感兴趣的内容,让他们想说爱说,让他们萌发写作的欲望,进而产生写好作文的信心。

挖掘初中作文教学的学生潜力

学生作文语意表达不清,枯燥无味,主要是头脑中积累的词汇句子太少。只有让学生多读,才能开拓学生的思路,提高学生的写作能力。知识积累是过程,熟练运用是目的。在习作中,要教育学生恰当运用多种修辞手法表达语意,增强文章的感染力和语言的说服力,使抽象的内容具体形象生动。     

初中作文有效教学之我见

“有效教学”是充分利用各种教学设施,采取恰当的的教学策略,最大限度的提高教学效率为终极目的的一种新的教学思想,作为初中语文作文教学来讲,更应从有效教学的理念出发,以促进学生的发展为根本,并能把有效教学的理论与作文教学紧密联系,从而探索出作文有效教学的成功经验,这是当前语文老师所面临的又一新的课题。     

热爱马背上的亚洲——专访瑞士国际航空公司亚太区销售总监Markus

见到Markus，是在上海的一家小咖啡馆里。他一脸和气，非常健谈，尤其是谈及他服务于瑞航33年中所见证到的点点滴滴，这使初次见面的我们一点没有了拘谨。也许也正是他的温暖笑容，向我传递了一个瑞航人的精神气度，也使我很自然地联想到瑞士航空所提供的温馨服务。     

Herlihy's thesis revisited: some notes on investment in children in Medieval Muslim societies

David Herlihy proposed "that we seek to evaluate, and on occasion even to measure, the psychological and economic investment which families and societies in the past were willing to make in their children" and suggested an alternative to both the "theory of discovered childhood [in Europe]," as introduced by Philippe Ariès and the notion of Lloyd DeMause that the historical evolution of child-parent relations in general formed a continuous and irreversible process of progress. This article shows that although we lack some of the archival sources that are essential for reconstructing the real lives of children in the premodern Mediterranean Muslim world, we are still able, with the "investment" criterion in mind, to assess attitudes toward children, at least in some defined periods of time and geographical regions.     

区域东亚与知识“东亚”

"东亚"既是一个空间性概念——即地理性、地域性的概念,又是一个时间性的概念——即历史性的和意识形态的概念。现代性的介入,使得"东亚"成为一个需要不断重新界定和检验的概念。区域东亚是知识"东亚"的理解和阐释对象,知识"东亚"是区域东亚在理论和知识上的抽象和提升。区域东亚在结构上具有封闭性、多元性的特征,在功能上又具有流变性和开放性的特征。知识"东亚"的命题集中反映了知识界的"中心-边缘"结构、各种知识背后的意识形态竞争和权力诉求。现代性和东亚的关系并不是一种单向度的"冲击-回应"关系,而是一种双向的相互建构的共生关系。     

Postgraduate education and thesis writing in Australian geography: a critique

This paper argues that the present structuring of postgraduate degrees in Australian geography is a recent phenomenon and could be altered. A case is made for more coursework and alternative forms of submission of research findings. The current dissemination of thesis information is criticised and a call made for better management to benefit readers and geography as a whole. The possibility is canvassed of a wider role for postgraduates in advancing human geography.

绝美飞行 空中俯瞰阿拉斯加山脉

正从美国阿拉斯加州最大城市安克雷奇前往第二大城市费尔班克斯的必经路上,有一座叫作塔尔基特纳的旅游小城,这里有着来阿拉斯加不容错过的游览项目,那就是乘坐小飞机飞临丹奈利国家公园上空,观看壮观的阿拉斯加山脉,而其中最让人血脉偾张的就数北美最高峰麦金利山。阿拉斯加的所有村镇都有自己的机场,小型飞机对于当地人来说恨不得就像皮卡一样普及,所以乘小飞机看山景是很多地方都有的行程。而对
