Chang+Lu+2

My name is Chang Lu, and I spent a little boring weekend. When I woke up on Saturday, it was almost 2 P.M. I found that the day was almost over and I did nothing. I had a quick lunch and decided to go to the library. At 4p.m., I felt tired and took a nap at desk in the library. I always slept a lot on weekend. I hope that I can spend a useful weekend next week.

HW P7 I suffer from a sleeping disorder, and I understand people who also have a sleeping disorder. I will talk about why people may suffer from a disorder sleeping and how people deal with it. I would like to provide some experience about how to improve our sleeping conditions. For example, people can read books when you are in bed, take a hot shower before sleeping, or listen to some light music. For this article, my language should be formal and scientific; the tone of the article is objective and personal. Also, the vocabulary should be general science terms for general readers.

HW P12 Everyone has a way to express his anger. I saw some friends lose control and hit others when they are in angry. I think that is not good because it is illegal that hurt people, no matter for any reasons. For me, when I am angry, I prefer to sleep. I think sleeping is a health and quiet way to fix my bad emotion. For example, once my good friend did not trust me and I am sure I was right, then I was very angry and I went back to my dorm to sleep. I turned the light off, closed the door and shut the widow. I went to my soft bed and tried to sleep. There was no classes on that time, of course. At beginning with, it is a little hard to fall asleep because I was so angry and thought how stupid my friend was. Then I listened to some music and tried to think about nothing. After a while, I slept with music. When I woke up, I always feel better and forgot my anger. So I suggest that my way is very good and that there is no bad things will happen when you are in angry. Therefore, I smiled to my friend and just watch that man finish the payment. As a result, everyone will meet this thing. just let it go because it just a small thing.

Breakfast My breakfast is always easy. Because I often get up at noon, I just go to have lunch when I wake up. I am lazy so I do not choose classes in morning. However, when I find that my OP classes are in the morning, I have to get up early and eat breakfast also. My breakfast is so easy because I do not have enough time to eat in the morning. Usually, i drink a bottle of water, and eat some cookies. These days, I drink honey because honey is sweet and healthy.

Weekend Today is Friday, and i only have one class today. Unfurtunetly, my only one class begins at 8 A.M.. i had to get up so early that i always feel tired in the morning. after this class, i will spend a good weekend and i decided to keep sleeping when i go back to my dorm. this weekend i want to read my academic book and do much homework. also, i will go outside and to take a look at beautiful flowers. there are many colorful flowers on campus, and many cute animals around the campus.

P23 1 An anger outburst can more than double the risk of a heart attack in some people. 2 With violence, blood pressure moves up from 2 to 6 millimeters. 3 What's more, the does of violence triggers a higher blood pressure surge when a on-screen argument turns to an-swinging wrestle.

Weather Today is a good day. when i went outside, i found that it is a little hot and it looks like ready to rain. many people said that the weather in Athens is changing. it means that maybe you see the weather is really good, but after a while, the weather becomes to bad. specially in the spring, the weather is changing a lot. Yesterday the weather was very good and sunny, many students hung out with friends in the sun shine. Also, i was reading out side at that time. We enjoyed the good day. Mike said there will be a raining tomorrow.

Art when it comes to art, some people think that art is the thing which is beautiful. other people think that art should be the thing they consider outstanding. for me, i think art is a beautiful or an excellent design and thing. our lives cannot leave arts. before you move to a new house, you may make your house more beautiful. that is, you want to design your room, arrange the parts in your room, and to purchase many interesting things and put them on wherever you like. more importantly, sometimes you consider the color and styles to decide if these arts are suit for you.

HW p43 Memo To: Students and teachers From: Chang Lu Re: research of the superpower of america Date: Apr 18 ,2011 In 2009, the latest annual " prosperity index" made a list that reported the U.S. declined from rank No.4 to No.9. At the same time, many countries like China, India, Brazil and Russia had been growing faster and stronger, which would threaten the superpower of America. there are three main signs: Jobs. The International Monetary Fund predicts that the U.S. unemployment rate will be 9.3 percent for all of 2010. That's lower than in some European nations, but it's higher than in Canada and a lot worse than most countries in Scandinavia and Asia. For example, as the biggest developing country in the world, China holds the unemployment rate within 4.6 percent in 2010 (by CHINA ECONOMIC NET). Overall, the U.S. unemployment rate is about average for advanced economies and likely to stay that way. It could be worse, but middling job creation isn't a sign of global leadership. Economic growth. The International Monetary Fund also predicts that the U.S. economy will grow 1.9 percent in 2010. It is better than the average for all advanced economies, but at least 10 developed nations will grow faster. Some American says that as the development with society, more and more people begin to focus on their life quality. They want to enjoy the beautiful places, relax with their families, and spend time to hang out with friends. Most of them do not like over time, although they can earn more money. It might be a reason that the economic growth in US is not so fast. Poverty. The U.S. poverty rate, about 17 percent, is third worst among the advanced nations tracked by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In that sample, only Turkey and Mexico are worse. Experts analyses that the high jobless rate and economic monopolize lead to more and more poor people. So, these signs shows that the superpower of america is declining.

mother My mother is a good women. Unlike other Chinese mothers, my mother always allows me to make decisions by myself. She told me that I am a men and I need to learn how to take responsible for myself. Each mother's day, I would like to give my mother many flowers and tell her that I love her. I think each child loves his mother. More importantly, I think every child should know that when he spent his brisday, he should notice that the day is also important to his mother, because his mother suffered much pains.

p69 (2) Many owners were surveyed to see how many domestic cats lived in the village and whether their owners would be willing to participate. (4) The cat owners were asked to bag the remains of any animals that the cat caught and we collected the bags weekly. (5) In addition, many catches were recorded for which there were no remains.

p70 1 But we mastered the behavior, we give no conscious thought to the details that once required close attention. 4 Researchers taught elephants of the Betram Mills' Circus a simplified version of cricket after months of training.

p73 1 Chimpanzees undertake the process by selecting a suitable branch, pulling off the leaves, and then breaking the stick to the right length. 2 When I visited in a wild zoo, I saw many monkeys used very long sticks to hit the top branches which monkeys cannot reach, and some apples failed down.

HW p73 Summary In the article "Animal Thinking," the author mainly talks about some researches of animal behavior. Many researchers proved that animals can think and use tool to express their behaviors. Also, striking and unexpected events are more likely to produce conscious awareness. Another consideration regarding conscious thinking is whether an animal can anticipate and intentionally plan an action, knowing its possible results. And the author gives a example which is the use of small stones by sea otters to detach and open shellfish. Sea otters uses tools to break food, for example, sea otters search for a suitable stone and use it to break shellfish. The otter often tucks a good stone under an armpit as it swims and dives. In some areas, only young and old sea otters use stones, because adults can simply use their claws or teeth.

HW p122 I am in business college and my major is finance. i think most of students may chose this college because there are many majors in this college. As a business major student, you should be interested in "numbers' and be good at math. Also, you should be a good public speaker, because you will do many presentations and interviews. Moreover, you should be a good writer and prepare to write many and many papers or reports. To consider a school.you should consider the climate, weather, academic position in the US, and future development.

P122 If you want to choosing a place to take a vocation, you may consider such things. First, the location is important. It means that the days you want to spent will decide how far you go there. For example, if you live in Athens, Ohio, and you have a week to travel, so Miami maybe not a good choice, because it is so far from here. Second, you will think about the fees you can spent. If you do not want to shop and spent a lot of money, you may choose the place that not a prosperous city. Instead, you may choose a beautiful city and enjoy more "free" places. Third, weather is also a reason. Before you go to there, you should check the climate of the place. You probably do not want to travel in raining days. At last, you should always be safe. You should consider whether the place is safe or not.

p130 HW IP Man (Ye Wen) Ip Man, a film loosely based on the life of Yip Man, was released in theaters in 2008. The film takes a number of liberties with Yip's life, often for dramatic effect. Yip's oldest son Ip Chun appears in the film and served as a consultant for the film. The film focuses on Yip's life during the 1930s to the 1940s during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The film is the first to be based on the life of Yip. The sequel to the film focuses on Yip's beginnings in Hong Kong and his students, such as Bruce Lee. I think Ip Man is a very good movie. Mr. Yip was a great man who was a excellent master of WingChun Kungfu and loved his country and his people. He learned WingChun not for fighting ,not for fame. He learned it just because he loved Kungfu so much and he took advantage of all kind of Kungfu. Moreover, Wing Chun was originally passed down from teacher to teacher orally rather than through written documentation, making it difficult to confirm or clarify the differing accounts of its creation. Ip Man was Bruse Lee's master. I think this movie shows the fact and the Ip Man's nature.

HW p134 In the article" Gone With The Wind," the author Catherine Clinton evaluates the film “Gone With The Wind." The author says that the film is the most popular American historical film ever made. Clinton claims that the filmmakers' commitment to accuracy was limited. Also, the author points out the film's most controversial aspect remains its portrayal of race relations. The author critiques that the film contains stereotypical images,such as slave children fanning sleeping bells. Moreover, Clinton explains that Gone With The Wind does not address contemporary concerns about the treatment of African Americans, and the film more accurately depicts the white South. At last, Clinton talks about characters, and Rhett Butler's character is even more accurately grounded.

HW p134 KungFu Panda is an excellent Action-Adventure movie. KungFu Panda quite accurately depicts the Chinese kung fu. KungFu Panda presents a lovely fat panda's kung fu dreaming story, and finaliy he became the Dragon Warrior. KungFu Panda uses great dubbing voice.

HW p140 In China, the government controls the many media. So, most Chinese media always promotes how the country is successful and how people live in great environments, such as the __News Broadcast__ at 7p.m. every night on CCTV1. On that Broadcast, you never see the negative news about China. Also, the government has the power to ban the negative news which may have bad influences on the society. For example, if you want to find some information about "how many people died in the WenChuan Earthquake" on Baidu ( The biggest Chinese search engine ,) You will be so surprised that the most recently news was in May, 2009 and the "newest" news did not tell us the dead people number, and you never know it. Furthermore, if you search something on Baidu, there are many forbidden words which you cannot input. For example, if you search "police", the website will tell you " Because of the local laws or rules, the results cannot appear."

HW p146 I think Ip Man is a very good movie. Mr. Yip was a great man who was a excellent master of WingChun Kungfu and loved his country and his people. He learned WingChun not for fighting ,not for fame. He learned it just because he loved Kungfu so much and he took advantage of all kind of Kungfu. Moreover, Wing Chun was originally passed down from teacher to teacher orally rather than through written documentation, making it difficult to confirm or clarify the differing accounts of its creation. Ip Man was Bruse Lee's master. I think this movie shows the fact and the Ip Man's nature.
