Hero - 英雄玛利亚凯丽
Ther's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
Chorous:
And then a hero comes along with the Strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world along
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow in time
You will find the way
Tips for doing business with different countries
和不同国家做生意的技巧
China is the biggest market in the world, and many countries such as Germany, the USA, the UK and Russia do a lot of business there. Let’s have a look at some important tips to help you be successful with these nationalities.
Firstly, you must be punctual with Germans. Even 5 minutes late makes a bad impression. Being punctual is also very important in the USA. In the UK, it’s important to be punctual for business meetings, but nobody expects you to be on time for a social event. Half past seven really means quarter to eight, or even eight o’clock! With Russians, always be on time, but don’t be surprised if your Russian contact is very late! It is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!
In all four countries, it is best to dress formally and use dark colours. In Russia, designer clothes are very common. Don’t be surprised if you go to an office in the UK on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies have ‘dress down Friday’, when people wear casual clothes.
In Germany, first names are only used with family members and close friends, so be prepared to use titles and last names. In the USA you will usually be invited to use first names almost immediately. The British are quite informal and using first names in business is more and more common, especially among younger people. In Russia, however, nobody uses first names, so use titles and last names.
In conversation, the British and the Americans value humour, and both like to talk about sport. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British, but avoid talking about politics. In Russia, say positive things about their country, but avoid making complaints. The Germans, however, prefer to get straight down to business!
Finally, when doing business in all countries make sure you have a lot of business cards. Remember that in Germany, once a deal has been agreed, you can’t change it! In the USA, money is more important than relationships, whereas in Russia it’s important to get to know your contact well. Finally, don’t be surprised if a British meeting seems like chaos, with everybody participating and giving opinions!
So, use these tips, and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!
Britain's Best Beaches 海滨胜地
Most visitors to the UK come here expecting the rain and miserable weather for which the country is famous.
However, when summer finally does arrive, the British people like nothing more than packing their trunks and swimming costumes and heading for the coast.
The UK is, after all, an island, and with 12,400km of coastline to explore any visitor to the UK will be spoilt for choice.
Here are some of the more famous resorts that you could expect to visit on a trip to Britain.
Blackpool, in the north-west of England, is the most visited resort in the UK. Each year around 6.5 to 7 million people come to enjoy the miles of sandy beaches, the 158m Blackpool Tower and the 11km-long Golden Mile, where there are entertainments, pubs, ice rinks and even a zoo. A firm family favourite, it has also become a popular destination for stag and hen parties. At the other end of the country on the south coast you can find Brighton. Until 1786, Brighton was a sleepy village. Then the future king George IV decided to build a residence there, and over the years Brighton grew into the large, cosmopolitan centre it is now.
Apart from the beaches, Brighton is famous for its pier. On the pier there are theatres, entertainments and restaurants. Brighton is also fantastic for shopping.
If you fancy travelling a little further, why not go to Cornwall in the far south west of the UK? South Cornwall offers miles of sandy beaches and beautiful scenery. The climate here is warmer than the rest of Britain and you can even find palm trees.
For a bit more excitement, go to north Cornwall. The scenery here is more dramatic, and the beaches are famous for their powerful waves. As a result, North Cornwall has become the home of British surfing.
One word of warning though, if you are using the roads in the UK on bank holidays or during school holidays, you can expect long traffic jams on the motorways. It might be better to take the train.
