paigns celebrating the Big Apple, those T-shirts with a heart design proclaiming “I love New York,”are signs, pathetic in their desperation, of how the m ighty has fallen. New York City used to leave the bragging to others, for bragg ing w as “bush” Being unique, the biggest and the best, New York didn’t have to assert how special it was.’t the top anym ore, at least if the top is m easured by who begets the styles and sets the trends. Nowadays New York is out of phase with American taste as often as it is out of step with Am erican politics. Once it was the nation’s undisputed fashion authority, but it too long resisted the incom ing casual style and lost its m onopoly. No longer so looked up to or copied, New York even prides itself on being a holdout from prevailing Am erican trends, a place to escape Comm on Denom inator Land.ore and m ore evident. A dozen other cities have buildings m ore inspired architecturally than any built in New York City in the past twenty years. The giant Manhattan television studios where Toscanini’s NBCSym phony once played now sit empty m ost of the time, while sitcoms cloned and canned in Hollywood, and the Johnny Carson show live, preem pt the airways from California. Tin Pan Alley has m oved to Nashville and Hollywood. Vegas casinos routinely pay heavy sum s to singers and entertainers whom no nightspot in Manhattan can afford to hire. In sports, the bigger superdom es, the m ore exciting teams, them ost enthusiastic fans, are often found elsewhere.–being regarded as unfriendly, unsafe, overcrowded, and expensive –but it is m aking som ething of a com eback as a tourist attraction. Even so, m ost Americans would probably rate New Orleans, San Francisco, Washington, or Disneyland higher. A dozen other cities, including m yhom etown of Seattle, are widely considered better cities to live in.any Europeans call New York their favorite city? They take m ore readily than do m ost Americans to its cosm opolitan com plexities, its surviving, aloof, European standards, its alien mixtures. Perhaps som e of these Europeans are reassured by the sight, on the twin fashion avenues of Madison and Fifth, of all those familiar international nam es – the jewelers, shoe stores, and designer shops that exist to flatter and bilk the frivolous rich. But no; what m ost excites Europeans is the city’s charged, nervous atm osphere, its vulgar dynam ism .share of articulate losers, it is also about m ockery, the put-down , the loser’s shrug (“whaddya gonna do?”). It is about constant battles for subway seats, for a cabdriver’s or a clerk’s or a waiter’s attention, for a foothold , a chance, a better address, a larger billing. To win in New York is to be uneasy; to lose is to live in jostling proxim ity to the frustrated majority.e. And though I have lived there m ore than half m y life, you won’t find m e wearing an “I Love New York”T-shirt. But all in all, I can’t think of m any places in the world I’d rather live. It’s not easy to define why.’s pleasures are m uch qualified in New York. You never see a star-filledsky; the city’s bright glow arrogantly obscures the heavens. Sunsets can be spectacular: oranges and reds tinting the sky over the Jersey m eadows and gaudily reflected in a thousand windows on Manha ttan’s jagged skyline. Nature constantly yields to m an in New York: witness those fragile sidewalk trees gamely struggling against encroaching cem ent and petrol fum es. Central Park, which Frederick Law Olm sted designed as lungs for the city’s poor, i s in places grassless and filled with trash, no longer pristine yet lively with the noise and vivacity of people, largely youths, blacks, and Puerto Ricans, enjoying them selves. On park benches sit older people,m ostly white, looking displaced. It has becom e less a tranquil park than an untidy carnival.our of the city, which never beckoned to m e from a distance, but itsopportunity –to practice the kind of journalism I wanted –drew me to New York. I wasn’t even sure how I’d m easure up against others who had been m ore soundly educated at Ivy League schools, or whether I could com pete against that tough local breed, those intellectual sons of immigrants, so highly m otivated and single-minded, such as Alfred Kazin, who for div ersion (for heaven’t sake!) played Bach’s Unaccompanied Partitas on the violin.ost banal and m arketable of one’s talents, still draws m any of the young to New York. That and, as always, the com pany of others fleeing som ething constricting where they cam e from. Together these young share a freedom, a community of inexpensive am usements, a casualliving, and som e rough tim es. It can’t be the living conditions that appeal, for only fond mem ory will forgive the inconvenience, risk, and squalor. Comm ercial Broadway m ay be inaccessible to them, but there is off- Broadway, and then off-off-Broadway. If painters disdain Madison Avenue’s plush art galleries, Madison Avenue dealers set up shop in the grubby precincts of Soho. But the purity of a bohem ian dedication can be exaggerated. The artistic young inhabit the sam e Greenwich Village and its fringes in which the experim entalists in the arts lived during the Depression, united by a world against them. But the present generation is enough of a subculture to be a source of profitable boutiques and coffeehouses. And it is not all that estranged.ost respects from mainland America, but in two areas it remains dominant. It is the banking and the comm unications headquarters for America. In both these roles it ratifies m ore than it creates. Wall Street will advance the m illions to m ake a Hollywood m ovie only if convinced that a bestselling title o r a star name will ensure its success. The networks’ news centers are here, and the largest book publishers, and the biggest m agazines – and therefore the largest body of critics to appraise the films, the plays, the m usic, the books that others have created. New York is a judging town, and often invokes standards that the rest of the country deplores or ignores. A m arket for knowingness exists in New York that doesn’t exist for knowledge.arkets and devising the catchy jingles that will m ove m illions from McDonald’s to Burger king, so that the adagency’s “creative director”can lunch instead in Manhattan’s expense-account French restaurants. The bankers and the admen. The m arketing specialists and a thousand well-paid ancillary service people, really set the city’s brittle tone— catering to a wide American public whose num bers m ust be respected but whose tastes do not have to shared. The condescending view from the fiftieth floor of the city’s crowds below cuts these people off from humanity. So does an attitude which sees the public only in terms of large, malleable numbers— as impersonally as does the clattering subway turnstile beneath the office towers.surprised by the lack of cynicism, particularly am ong the younger ones, of those who work in such fields. The television generation grew up in the insistent presence of hype, delights in much of it, and has no scruples about practicing it. Men and wom an do their jobs professionally, and, like the pilots who from great heights bom bed Hanoi, seem unmarked by it. They lead their real lives elsewhere, in the Village bars they are indistinguishable in dress or behavior from would-be artists, actors, and writers. The boundaries of “art for art’s sake” aren’t so rigid anym ore; art itself is less sharply defined, and those whose paintings don’t sell do illustrations; those who can’ get acting jobs do comm ercials; those who are writing ambitious novels sustain themselves on the m agazines. Besides, serious art often feeds in the popular these days, changing it with fond irony.e the newcom ers find or from their won worlds; Manhatten is m any such words, huddled together but rarely interaction. I think this is what gives the city itssense of freedom. There are enough like you, whatever you are. And it isn’t asnecessary to know anything about an apartm ent neighbor- or to worry about his judgm ent of you- as it is about som eone with an adjoining yard. In New York, like seeks like, and by econom y of effort excludes the rest as stranger. This distancing, this uncaring in ordinary encounters, has another side: in no other Am erican city can the lonely be as lonely.uch m ore needs to be said. New Your is a wounded city, declining in its am enities . Overloaded by its tax burdens. But it is not dying city; the streets are safer than they were five years age; Broadway, which seem ed to be succumbing to the tawdriness of its environm ent, is astir again.enace, the noise, the brusqueness- all confirm outsiders in their conviction that they wouldn’t live here if you gave them the place. Yet show a New Yorker a splendid hom e in Dallas, or a swimming pool and cabana in Beverly Hills, and he will be admiring but not envious. So m uch of well-to-do America now lives antiseptically in enclaves, tranquil and luxurious, that shut out the world. Too static, the New Yorker would say. Tell him about the vigor of your outdoor pleasures; he prefers the unhealthy hassle andthe vitality of urban life. He is hopelessly provincial. To him New York- despite its faults,which her will impat iently concede (“so what else is new?”) — is the spoiler of all other American cities.erican cities to visit first-rate art m useum s, to hear good m usic and see lively experim ental theater, to m eet intelligent and sophisticated people who know how to live, dine, and talk well; and to enjoy all this in congenial and spacious surroundings. The New Yorkers still wouldn’t want to live there.issing is what m any outsiders find oppressive and distasteful about New York –its rawness, tension, urgency; its bracingcom petitiveness; the rigor of its judgm ents; and the congested, dem ocratic presence of so m any other New Yorkers, encased in their own worlds, the defeated are not hidden away som ewhere else on the wrong side of town. In the subways, in the buses, in the streets, it is impossible to avoid people whose lives are harder than yours. With the desperate, the ill, the fatigued, the overwhelm ed, one learns not to strike upcon versation (which isn’t wanted ) but to m ake brief, sy m pathetic eye contact, to include them in the hum an race. It isn’t m uch, but it is the fleeting hospitality of New Yorkers, each jealous of his privacy in the crowd. Ever helpfulness is often delivered as a taunt: a m an, rushing the traffic light, shouts the m an behind him. “ You want to be wearing a Buick with Jersey plates?” — great scorn in the word Jersey, hom e of drivers who don’t belong here.’s definition, New York is m ongrel city. It is in fact the first truly international m etropolis. No other great city- not London, Paris, Rom e or Tokyo- plays host (or hostage) to so m any nationalities. The m ix is m uch wider- Asians, Africans, Latins - that when that tumultuous variety of European crowded ashore at Ellis Island.The newcom ers are never fully absorbed, but are added precariously to the undigested many.20 New York is too big to be dom inated by any group, by Wasps or Jews or blacks, or by Catholics of m any origins —Irish, Italian, Hispanic. All have their little sovereignties, all are sizable enough to be reckoned with and tough in asserting their claim s, but none is powerful enough to subdue the others. Characteristically, the city swallows up the United Nations and refuses to take it seriously, regarding it as an unworkable m ixture of the idealistic, the impractical, and the hypocritical. But New Yorkers them selves are in training in how to live together in a diversity of races- the necessary initiation into the future.education in sights and sm ells. There is wonderful variety of places to eat or shop, and though the m ost successful of such places are likely to touristy hybridcom prom ises, they too have genuine roots. Other Am erican cities have ethnic turfs jealously defended, but not, I think, such an adm ixture of groups, thrown together in such jarring juxtapositions . In the sam e way, avenues of high-rise luxury in New York are never far from poverty and m ean streets. The sadness and fortitude of New York must be celebrated, along with its treasures of art and m usic. The com bination is unstable; it produces friction, or an uneasy forbearance that som etimes becom es a real toleration.es a m atter of alternating m oods, often inthe sam e day.

in the Clavierrubung, which includes: six partitas (1726--1731)~ the Italian Concerto and the Partita in B minor (1735)~ and the Goldberg Variations. The bulk of his work is religious. In addition, he composed an astonishing number of instrumental works, many of them designed for the instruction of his numerous pupils. In his instrumental and choral works he perfected the art of polyphony, displaying an unmatched combination of inventiveness and control in his great, striding fugues. During his lifetime, Bach was better known as an organist than as a composer. For decades after his death his works were neglected, but in the 19th century his genius came to be recognized, particularly by romantic composers such as Mendelssohn and Schumann. Since that time his reputation has grown steadily.

十大经典吸血鬼电影推荐
十大经典吸血鬼电影推荐十大经典吸血鬼电影介绍之一<<诺斯费拉图>>其它译名:吸血僵尸类型:恐怖导演: F.W. Murnau编剧:Henrik Galeen主要演员:Gustav BotzMax SchreckGustav von WangenheimGreta Schr?derAlexander GranachGeorg H. SchnellRuth LandshoffJohn Gottowt上映日期:1922-3-5国家地区:德国这个故事讲述了一个不来梅(Bremen)的房地产办事员哈特(Hutter)(加斯塔?范沃格汉姆饰)离开他的新娘去办一桩小生意。
这位客户名叫欧洛克(Orlok)(马科斯?斯莱克饰)行为古怪,住在很远的卡帕希恩山(Carpathian mountains)。
这段旅程很长,而且当哈特越接近目的地,他所碰到的人就越显得惊恐失措。
有传言说欧洛克的城堡闹鬼。
在快到终点时,马车夫自己从车上掉下来,掉在空地上,并消失了。
哈特不得不搭乘另一辆马车。
这辆马车跑得非常快,以至应该对这位赶车的野心勃勃的年轻人提出警告。
最后他们终于到达了那座城堡。
在导演F?W?茂瑙的天才导演下,使整个影片呈现出一种令人毛骨悚然的气氛。
令人恐惧而又缓慢的电影节奏,把恐怖气氛推到了极点。
令人恐怖的欧洛克的形象也对此功不可没,这无疑是电影历史上最令人恶心的角色之一。
在这位年轻人一边吃饭一边与这位城堡的主人讨论欧洛克在不来梅有意购买的一处房产时,欧洛克在切面包时切到了他的拇指。
这个可怕的家伙马上闪电般地站起来吮吸着这位旅行者的拇指。
但哈特对这种怪癖不太在意,继续与他的主顾谈论生意,直到夜深人倦才回屋就寝。
住过几晚之后,这位年轻人开始有所觉察了。
他发现了欧洛克的棺材,虽然他变得很虚弱,但仍试图逃跑。
但这个吸血鬼决定要去德国,并且已经把他自己的棺材装在了开往不来梅的船上。
吸血鬼逐步地实施它的计划,所有乘员一个接一个地倒下,只有船长例外,他是被吸血鬼留作晚餐的。

撕裂机理
现象:撕裂路线杂乱无章 Irwin理论解释撕裂过程: 当弹性体材料受力后,在材料结构中产生应力,若在该应力方向上,所 受力结构承受不了此应力(高于该结构所能承受的最大应力),则发生撕 裂破坏。内部结构的复杂性与内部应力分布的共同作用,最终导致无规则 的撕裂路线。 核心:材料承受不了此方向应力,则该位置上结构遭破坏被撕裂。

自然界十大奇观
自然界十大奇观:火焰瀑布,闪电灯塔…01. 南极/血瀑布血瀑布能看到的人很少,即使是图片。
这道血瀑布位于Taylor冰川。
最早记录这个地方是1911年命运多舛的罗伯特·斯科特南极探险队的成员中的地质学家,地理学家Thomas Griffith Taylor。
02. 蒙克顿/磁山在上个世纪的30年代,有人发现在这个地方就算你的汽车不启动,也能爬坡,后来这里的地方就被成为了了一旅游景点。
汽车爬坡并不是因为磁力问题,而是一种视觉的错觉,看起来是上坡的地方其实是个下坡路。
03. 冰岛/Surtsey岛这个岛在1963年之前并不存在,后来Westman群岛的一处水下火山爆发,在1967稳定下来形成了这座岛。
因为这座岛的环境是原始状态的,因此冰岛政府就把这座岛保护了起来,虽然你可以在那航行,但是只有海洋生物学家,地质学家,植物学家等专家才上岛。
04. 新西兰/摩拉基巨石在新西兰的东海岸Koekohe海滩上散落在许多周长有12英尺的巨石。
这些石头是在数百万年前海底的硬化的沉淀物堆积在一起,然后就像是牡蛎形成珍珠那样,慢慢的形成了这些巨石。
至于是形成的具体细节和什么情况导致出现独特的裂痕的就还在研究中。
05. 挪威/午夜太阳挪威的Svalbard群岛那里的4月20日到8月23日之间太阳是不下山的,连续几天后就会让你分别不出现在是午夜还是白天了,这是为什么他们的酒店的房间都装有厚重的窗帘的原因了。
06. 土耳其/棉花堡棉花堡像是白色瀑布的梯田,这温泉中碳酸钙经过数千年沉淀形成的,这里的水温大概为37度,中水包含有矿物质,具有治疗效果,因此从公元二世纪至今有很多人会来到这里寻求治疗。
07. 加利福尼亚州/死亡谷,赛马场盐湖1915年当地的一位勘探者和他的妻子在死亡谷注意到一个奇怪现象,石头会在干旱的大地上移动!是什么情况让这些石头移动的?目前有个流行的理论,是2011年一个科学家团队的解释,是因为地面结冰而让石头移动起来的。

Big Apple 的由来
纽约(New York)是美国相当繁华的城市之一,它的绰号叫做 “the Big Apple”(大苹果据传,大约在一百多年前,美国一群爵士乐 师们(jazz musicians)经常到各地巡回演出赚钱(make money)。 乐师们常常把所要去的城镇比喻成树上的苹果。他们去该城镇演出赚钱, 就好像是去摘树上的苹果,由于纽约是他们演出赚钱最多的城市,自然 被称为“the Big Apple”。 不久,纽约一家俱乐部和一种流行舞蹈也取名为“the Big Apple”。 后来,精明的纽约市官员们为了招揽游客(tourist),发展旅游业 (tourism),索性把“the Big Apple”作为该城市的象征物 (symbol)。从此,越来越多的游客被吸引到纽约去参观旅游,纽约 的别名也就随之传开了。

撕裂的分类
(1)按照撕裂生长决定因素分类:
a.由外界施加的拉伸或撕裂速度决定裂纹的生长速度的撕裂---撕裂 降低内应力,使内外应力趋于平衡。
b.裂纹在受力下,自发进行生长的撕裂---结构中应力达到某承受临 界点自发断裂生长。按此方法,撕裂试样分为以下两类:

提高撕裂的方法
1.混炼:通过优化混炼工艺,提高补强填料如炭黑等在橡 胶中的分散可以提高胶料的抗撕裂性能。 2.相混炼:NR/BR共混物通过相混炼技术,使BR相中炭黑 含量增加,可以提高撕裂。 3.交联密度:通过刘华过程优化胶料的最终交联密度,可 以提高胶料的抗撕裂性能。 4.硫磺硫化体系:硫磺硫化体系与过氧活化物硫化体系相 比,一个明显的优势就是胶料的抗撕裂性能。
