They have a beginning, a middle and an end—with mercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The mercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. ―But Super Clean Toothpaste.‖ ―Drink Golden Wet Root Beer.‖ ―Fill up with Pacific Gas.‖ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of ―You Need It! But It Now! ‖ The beginning of the ride is fortable and somewhat exciting, even if you‘ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed—new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it‘s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the lefthanded lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you‘ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there‘s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has bee harder as the hours have passed. By now you‘ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests—even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end es just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit. 第七篇 現(xiàn)代日光浴 者 人們出外觀光旅游的原因有許多，一些旅游者去看古戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)或是宗教圣殿；一些旅游者去追尋文化之源或是僅僅在名勝之地請(qǐng)人給他照幾張相。當(dāng)然，隨著時(shí)間一小時(shí)一小時(shí)過去，座位變得越來越硬，此刻，你交叉著雙腿，把手放在扶手上，甚至你會(huì)把雙手交叉托于腦后。 旅程的最后倒有點(diǎn)像剛開始。小睡片刻對(duì)過好途中幾個(gè)小時(shí)是很有幫 助的。如果碰上一個(gè)特別粗心大意或膽大的司機(jī)，那乘車就會(huì)像讀扣人心弦的故事一樣讓人興奮。通常會(huì)有不少變化，新的房室，新的高樓，有時(shí)甚至?xí)幸欢涡碌牡缆贰＞拖窨措娨晻r(shí)，只有你關(guān)機(jī)才不會(huì)聽到那些廣告詞，些時(shí)，你只有睡著了才不致受那些沒完沒了的 ―你需要它，現(xiàn)在就來買吧！ ‖的吵鬧。旅行有開始，中途和結(jié)尾，每隔三四分鐘都會(huì)看到各種商業(yè)廣告這些商業(yè)廣告是不可避免的，不受你的意志左右，大約每過幾分鐘就會(huì)有一塊廣告牌從窗外閃過。 調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn)，中國(guó)和日本都是主要通過電視新聞和報(bào)紙相 互了解彼此。 兩國(guó)大多數(shù)人民普遍認(rèn)為內(nèi)部交流是改善兩國(guó)關(guān)系的重要途徑。 大約有 47％的日本普通民眾認(rèn)為今年中國(guó)人在對(duì)抗全球經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)上有很大的幫助， 相比較而言，去年這一比率僅有 30％。中國(guó)人最關(guān)注的問題有歷史問題，日本官員參拜靖國(guó)神社以及南京大屠殺。在日本有 64． 8％的普通人群和 53． 4％的知識(shí)分子認(rèn)為今年中日雙邊關(guān)系沒有任何進(jìn)展。 但是，兩國(guó)代表中仍然有壓倒性的多數(shù)人認(rèn) 為中日關(guān)系一直 ‖很重要 ‖，并且期待兩國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)們能相互加強(qiáng)對(duì)話和合作。 45． 2％的中國(guó)學(xué)生對(duì)日本人有好感，比去年增加了 2個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。而在日本的知識(shí)分子群體則主要是由非營(yíng)利組織 Genron的前任成員組成的。他主要關(guān)注兩類人群：普通市民和知識(shí)分子。北京 ——東京論壇是一個(gè)中日兩國(guó)高級(jí)政府官員或非政府組織代表們會(huì)面的年會(huì)， 旨在推動(dòng)兩國(guó)間的相互理解和交流。它也曾壓倒性的贊同中日兩國(guó)關(guān)系很重要。 Feast on Turkey and Good Wishes at Thanksgiving Four weeks ago US children dressed as monsters and asked for sweets.

At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these anizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles. But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that e. For example, in April, several student anizations at Wisconsin teamed up for an event designed to educate students about homelessness and poverty.
