chapter 1 Colonization of North America
(2) Amerigo Vespucci:
① the importance: He was for a time regarded as the discoverer of the new land because he wrote many letters in which the new continents were described in great detail and the letters were most quickly published and widely spread. Although he was not the discoverer of the new continents, but it was he who first confirmed the fact that a new continent rather than Asia had been discovered. ②the origin of the “America”: A false impression was created that it was Vespucci rather than Columbus who first discovered the New World, and so in 1507 the New World was named after him, the Latin form of his Christian name, Amerigo.
A Christmas Carol 圣诞颂歌 CHAPTER 1
Scrooge was a mean man who made his employees work harder than most employers. He was as hard as a stone. He loved money and only money. He could not get enough of it. And he never gave any of it away. He was the least generous of men. He was so mean that he would not spend any money to heat the office. It was ice cold in winter. There was even ice on his hair. And as a man, he was as cold inside as he was outside. Wherever he went, he took this coldness with him. There was no wind colder than Scrooge.

【Lesson 1 Good News about Racial ProgressThe remaining divisions in American society shouldnot blind us to a half-century of dramatic changeBy Abigail and Stephan ThernstromIn the Perrywood community of Upper Marlboro, Md.1, near Washington, D.C., homes cost between $160,000 and $400,000. The lawns are green and the amenities appealing—including a basketball court.Low-income teen-agers from Washington started coming there. The teens were black, and they were not welcomed. The homeowners’ association hired off-duty police as security, and they would ask the ballplayers whether they “belonged” in the area. The association’ s newsletter noted the “eyesore” at the basketball court.But the story has a surprising twist: many of the homeowners were black t oo. “We started having problems with the young men, and unfortunately they are our people,” one resident told a re porter from the Washington Post. “But what can you do?”The homeowners didn’t care about the race of the basketball players. They were outsiders—in truders. As another resident remarked, “People who don’t live here might not care about things the way we do. Seeing all the new houses going up, someone might be tempted.”It’s a t elling story. Lots of Americans think that almost all blacks live in inner cities. Not true. Today many blacks own homes in suburban neighborhoods—not just around Washington, but outside Atlanta, Denver and other cities as well.That’s not the only common misconception Americans have ab out race. For some of the misinformation, the media are to blame. A reporter in The Wall Street Journal, for instance, writes that the economic gap between whites and blacks has widened. He offers no evidence. The picture drawn of racial relations is even bleaker. In one poll, for instance, 85 percent of blacks, but only 34 percent of whites, agreed with the verdict in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. That racially divided response made headline news. Blacks and whites, media accounts would have us believe, are still separate and hostile. Division is a constant theme, racism another.To be sure, racism has not disappeared, and race relations could —and probably will —improve. But the serious inequality that remains is less a function of racism than of the racial gap in levels of educational attainment, single parenthood and crime. The bad news has been exaggerated, and the good news neglected. Consider these three trends:A black middle class has arrived. Andrew Young recalls the day he was mistaken for a valet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It was an infuriating case of mistaken identity for a man who was then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.But it wasn’t so long ago that most blacks were servants—or their equivalent. On the eve ofWorld War II, a trivial five percent of black men were engaged in white-collar work of any kind, and six out of ten African-American women were employed as domestics.In 1940 there were only 1,000 practicing African-American lawyers; by 1995 there were over 32,000, about four percent of all attorneys.Today almost three-quarters of African-American families have incomes above the government poverty line. Many are in the middle class, according to one useful index—earning double the government poverty level; in 1995 this was $30,910 for a two-parent family with two children and $40,728 for a two-parent family with four children. Only one black family in 100 enjoyed a middle-class income in 1940; by 1995 it was 49 in 100. And more than 40 percent of black households also own their homes. That’ s a huge change.The typical white family still earns a lot more than the black family because it is more likely to collect two paychecks. But if we look only at married couples—much of the middle class—the white-black income gap shrinks to 13 percent. Much of that gap can be explained by the smaller percentage of blacks with college degrees, which boost wages, and the greater concentration of blacks in the South, where wages tend to be lower.Blacks are moving to the suburbs. Following the urban riots of the mid-1960s, the presidential Kerner Commission14 concluded that the nation’ s future was menaced by “accelerating segregation”—black central cities and whites outside the core. That segregation might well blow the country apart, it said.It’ s true that whites have continued to leave inner cities for the suburbs, but so, too, have blacks. The number of black suburban dwellers in the last generation has almost tripled to 10.6 million. In 1970 metropolitan Atlanta, for example, 27 percent of blacks lived in the suburbs with 85 percent of whites. By 1990, 64 percent of blacks and 94 percent of whites resided there.This is not phony integration, with blacks moving from one all-black neighborhood into another. Most of the movement has brought African-Americans into neighborhoods much less black15 than those they left behind, thus increasing integration. By 1994 six in ten whites reported that they lived in neighborhoods with blacks.Residential patterns do remain closely connected to race. However, neighborhoods have become more racially mixed, and residential segregation has been decreasing.Bigotry has declined. Before World Was ft, Gunnar Myrdal16 roamed the South researching An American Dilemma, the now-classic book that documented17 the chasm betwe en the nation’s ideals and its racial practices, hi one small Southern city, he kept asking whites how he could find “Mr. Jim Smith,” an African-American who was principal of a black high school. No one seemed to know who he was. After he finally found Smith, Myrdal was told that he should have just asked for “Jim.” That’ s how great was white aversion to dignifying African-Americans with “Mr.” Or “Mrs.”Bigotry was not just a Southern problem. A national survey in the 1940s asked whether “Ne-groes shoul d have as good a chance as white people to get any kind of job.” A majority of whites said that “white people should have the first chance at any kind of job.”19. Such a question would not even be asked today. Except for a lunatic fringe18, no whites would sign on to such a notion.1920. In 1964 less than one in five whites reported having a black friend. By 1989 more than two out of three did. And more than eight often African -Americans had a white friend.21. What about the last taboo?20 In 1963 ten percent of whites approved of black-white dating; by 1994 it was 65 percent. Interracial marriages? Four percent of whites said it was okay in 1958; by 1994 the figure had climbed more than elevenfold, to 45 percent. These surveys measure opinion, but behavior has also changed. In 1963 less than one percent of marriages by African- Americans were racially mixed. By 1993, 12 percent were.22. Today black Americans can climb the ladder to the top.21 Ann M. Fudge is already there; she’s in charge of manufacturing, promotion and sales at the $2.7-billion Maxwell House Coffee and Post Cereals divisions of Kraft Foods.22 So are Kenneth Chenault, president and chief operating officer at American Express23 and Richard D. Parsons, president of Time Warner, Inc.24 After the 1988 Demo-cratic Convention25, the Rev. Jesse Jackson26 talked about his chances of making it to the White House. “I may not get there,” he said “But it is possible for our children to get there now.”23. Even that seems too pessimistic. Consider how things have improved since Colin and Alma Powell27 packed their belongings into a V olkswagen28 and left Fort Devens, Mass., for Fort Bragg, N. C. “I remember passing Woodbridgc, Va.,” General Powell wrote in his autobiogra phy, “and not finding even a gas-station bathroom that we were allowed to use.” That was in 1962. In 1996 reliable polls suggest he could have been elected President.24. Progress over the last half-century has been dramatic. As Corctta Scott King wrote not long ago, the ideals for which her husband Martin Luther King Jr. died, have become “deeply embedded in the very fabric of America29.”From Reader’s Digest, March, 1998V. Analysis of Content1. According to the author, ___________A. racism has disappeared in AmericaB. little progress has been made in race relationsC. media reports have exaggerated the racial gapD. media accounts have made people believe that the gap between blacks and whites has become narrower2.

In the author’s opinion, _A. few black Americans can climb the ladder to the topB. Jesse Jackson’ s words in th is article seemed too pessimisticC.

英语阅读白牙1~8章每章概括
英语阅读白牙1~8章每章概括Chapter 1:In the first chapter of "White Fang," the story is set in the wild and harsh environment of the Yukon, Canada. The readers are introduced to a she-wolf and her pack of wolves and their struggle for survival in the wilderness. The chapter portrays the cruel and unforgiving nature of the wild and foreshadows the challenges that lie ahead for the protagonist, White Fang.Chapter 2:Chapter 2 of "White Fang" continues to depict the harshness of the wilderness as the she-wolf and her pack search for food. Meanwhile, a group of Native Americans, the Indians, are introduced, as they venture into the wilderness to hunt and gather supplies. The chapter also introduces One Eye, a fierce and dominating male wolf who later becomes a significant character in the story.Chapter 3:In Chapter 3, the narrative shifts to focus on the humans in the story. We meet the character of Bill and his companions, who are on a journey through the wilderness with sled dogs, seeking for gold. During their journey, they come across the Indian camp and witness the brutality of the Indians towards their dogs. The chapter also introduces the sled dog team, which includes the character, Gray Beaver.Chapter 4:Chapter 4 delves into the character of Gray Beaver, a Native American chief, who becomes a central figure in White Fang's life.Gray Beaver purchases White Fang from the Indians and brings him back to his camp. The chapter explores the initial relationship between White Fang and Gray Beaver, as the wolf pup gradually learns to adapt to life among humans.Chapter 5:In Chapter 5, new challenges arise for White Fang as he learns to navigate the complexities of living in Gray Beaver's camp. White Fang faces abuse and mistreatment from other dogs and humans, including the cruel and sadistic figure of Beauty Smith. Despite the hardships, White Fang's instincts and intelligence allow him to survive and understand the human world.Chapter 6:Chapter 6 revolves around White Fang's encounters with different characters in the camp, including three men, Weedon Scott and his comrades. Weedon Scott stands out as a kind-hearted man who treats White Fang with genuine affection and respect, forming a bond with the wolf. The chapter emphasizes the positive influence Weedon Scott has on shaping White Fang's behavior and character. Chapter 7:Chapter 7 explores White Fang's transformation from a wild and aggressive creature into a more civilized and loyal companion. Under Weedon Scott's guidance, White Fang becomes more obedient and protective. The chapter also introduces a subplot involving a lynx that White Fang confronts and defeats, showcasing his growing strength and capability as a wolf. Chapter 8:Chapter 8 focuses on the theme of loyalty, particularly White Fang's unwavering loyalty towards Weedon Scott. The chapter narrates events that lead to White Fang's separation from Scott and his return to the wild. However, White Fang's loyalty compels him to return to Scott's aid when his life is in danger, showcasing the deep bond they have formed. The chapter ends on a hopeful note as White Fang is reunited with Scott once again.。

Well, it's true that planets are very rarely all lined up like that.这个…的确九大行星是很少会像这样排成一条直线的Yeah. Like almost never.是从都没试过But it's so much easier to keep track of them all that way.但是这样显示出来，你们就会容易记住了，是不是?You wouldn't want us to have forgotten one, would you?And another thing - if an astronaut ever DOESmake it to Pluto, she'd better not take her helmet off.还有一件事，万一太空人真的去到冥王星，记得别去掉头盔You think she'd end up with more than a cold, huh?你不是怕他们会冻坏吧?She'd end up a block of ice - or worse!我怕他们会变成冰，甚至更差Which reminds me why I called in the first place.我想起打电话来的目的了Yes?是吗?I’m STILL waiting for someone to get that pile of litter off my planet! 我还等人来我的星球搬走那些垃圾THE END。

简单的字符串处理。
先读入两个串，然后用ord函数装成ASCII码，然后-64就是它对应的编号，求出它的乘积mod 47的余数。
然后判断两个数是否相等。
觉得专门为这道题开一个标题不值，不过以后可是会有难题哦，就这样吧。

这道题的难度相当于今年的联赛第一题。
用数组incom outcom记录每个人的收入和支出，记录每个人的名字，对于送礼人i，找到他要送给的人j，
inc(incom[j],outcom[i] div n)，其中n是要送的人数，最后inc(incom[i],outcom[i] mod n)
最后输出incom[i]-outcom[i]即可。

这道题用标准的搜索是O(n^2)的，可以用类似动态规划的方法优化到O(n)。
用数组bl,br,rl,rr分别记录在项链i处向左向右收集的篮色红色珠子数。
项链是环形的，但我们只要把两个同样的项链放在一块，就把它转换成线性的了。
我们只要求出bl,br,rl,rr，那么结果就是max(max(bl[i],rl[i])+max(br[i+1],rr[i+1])) (1<=i<=2*n-1)。
我们以求bl,rl为例:
初始时bl[0]=rl[0]=0
我们从左往右计算
如果necklace[i]='r',rl[i]=rl[i-1]+1,bl[i]=0；
如果necklace[i]='b', bl[i]=bl[i-1]+1,rl[i]=0；
如果necklace[i]='w',bl[i]=bl[i-1]+1,rl[i]=rl[i-1]+1。
同理可以求出br,rr。

这道题有两种思路：
1.用筛法求出1..1e8范围内的素数，然后判断每个素数是否是回文数。
2.生成1..1e8范围内的回文数，然后判断它是否是素数。
思路1的复杂度是O(n)，思路2的复杂度是O(√n*√n)=O(n)，从复杂度来看两种思路没有差别。
但思路1用筛法用素数要开O(n)的数组，在n=1e8是就是90M，超出了空间限制，而思路2的空间复杂度是O(1)的，所以我们用思路2。
如何按照从小到大的顺序生成回文数呢？
设生成位数为l的回文数，
若l是奇数，那么从小到大枚举(l+1) div 2位的数，然后复制翻转生成一个回文数；
若l是偶数，那么从小到达枚举l div 2位的数，然后复制翻转生成一个回文数。
上诉两个过程交替进行就可以从小到大生成回文数了。

一个数字对应3个字母，如果我们先枚举出数字所代表的所有字符串，就有3^12种，然后再在5000的字典里寻找，可以用二分查找，数据规模是
3^12*log5000=6.5e6，空间规模是5000。
其实可以做的更好！
一个字母只对应一个数字，从字典中读入一个单词，把它转化成唯一对应的数字，
看它是否与给出的数字匹配，时间规模是5000*12=6e4，空间规模是常数，而且编程复杂度较低。

简单的贪心
将所有的牛奶按价格升序排列（用快排），然后从低到高买入，知道买够m为止。
贪心的证明：
假设某次买了价格稍高的牛奶，可以得到最优解。
那么把这次买的牛奶换成价格更低的牛奶，其它不变，那么所得的解较优解。
假设不成立。

要使木板总长度最少，就要使未盖木板的长度最大。
我们先用一块木板盖住牛棚，然后，每次从盖住的范围内选一个最大的空隙，以空隙为界将木板隔成两块，重复直到隔成m块或没有空隙。
可以用二叉堆来优化算法。
贪心的证明略。

字符串处理
为了编程方便，做一个const记录数字的英文形式，我们只需记录20以内和整十的英文，其它可以由这些组合出来。
然后就是简单的判断。

DFS
因为要遍历整棵搜索数，所以用DFS，我们可以在搜索时加入剪枝，记录横行和两条斜线是否被攻击，每次只放在不受任意方向攻击的地方。
这个剪枝过最后一个数据需要2s，超时。
考虑对称
如果n是偶数，第一行枚举前一半的数，这样每搜索出一种方案后，沿中线对称过来又是一种方案，并且因为第一行的数小于一半，对称过来的方案总大于原方案（即在搜索树中后被搜索到），不会出现重复的情况。
如果n是奇数，先在中间行和中间列放子，并且位置都不超过半数(<n div 2)，且中间行>中间列，这样每搜索出一种方案，把它对称旋转后一共有8中方案，因为中间行和中间列的的不出现重复，所以8种方案不重复。
这样只需枚举原来的1/8就可以了。
这样就完全可以过了。
还可以再优化，用链表（或用数组模拟）记录每行待选的位置，进行插入和删除，这样就不用记录横行是否被攻击了，并且每次枚举位置的个数减少。
这道题最后优化到最大数据0.33s，提交8词，第一次在USACO碰到难一些的题了，hoho。

DFS
以位数为深度搜索，每次枚举当前数的末尾，并检查是不是质数，如果不是就剪枝。
小优化：质数的末尾不可能是(0,2,4,5,6,8)，只可能是(1,3,7,9)，一位数的质数特殊考虑。
这样枚举情况就只有4种。

简单的动态规划
设dp[i,j]表示到达第i层第j个最大的分数，转移方程：
dp[i,j]=max(dp[i-1,j],dp[i-1,j+1])+num[i,j]（考虑边界情况）
我们只需知道上层的dp情况，所以可以用滚动数组来记录，时间复杂度O(n^2)，空间复杂度O(n)。
