1听Aud+phonHanmeimei was a smart girl, she got an audition to be a teacher in new oriental school, unfortunately, she was so shy that her voice was barely audible during the audition. The auditors suggested that she should attend N4 classes. So she went to the auditorium where MA was giving classes, whose voice was so loud that even an audiometer may fail to measure it. Even without a microphone, he could make himself heard just like talking through a megaphone. His voice was such an euphony that Hanmeimei wanted to record it in a phonograph. After that she decided to be a teacher just like MA and gave up her dream of being an instructor of a symphony orchestra.2听son+tonOctober 1st2009 was a special day, Hanmeimei was sitting on the coach, watching the Great Parade, and she was amazed to find that all of them walk in unison, acting consonantly with each other, giving out resonant shouts. Then came the armament march, cutting-edge weapons, supersonic planes, powerful on-land missiles. The whole process was filled with only four slogans: XXXXXX and XXXXXX. Though a little bit monotonous, not at all dissonant. In the end president Hu delivered a speech in a sonorous voice, the intonation was perfect. But Hanmeimei couldn’t understand it at all, because it was a speech with serious undertones.3说dictWhen Hanmeimei was in high school, the thing she hated most had been dictation, the teacher who dictated to the students what to write was like a “dictator”. Hanmeimei really wanted to indict him for crimes against humanity, or give a speech of sedition to turn all the students against the teacher. But she knew she had no jurisdiction at school. All she could do was to utter a malediction: xxxxxxxx unfortunately it was heard by the teacher. The result was unwatchable, the dictator questioned her, Han wanted to vindicate herself with excuses, like I left my dictionary at home, but she didn’t. The teacher gave her last benediction: wish you good luck in your examination. At that night, Han had a dream: an edict from the government banned dictation from school forever.4 说doc+faHanmeimei once wanted to be a docent in the Imperial Palace, because she thought an affable and docile girl as she was, would be perfect for such a job. And you only had to memorize the documents of the items and tell tales and fables about them. But she didn’t know that it was such a fabulous job that thousands of people were after it. She was indoctrinated with the ideas that the world was pure and simple. So she had no idea about “the ineffable rules” and the nefarious combats for this hot job. After confabulating with some inners, Hanmeimei gave up this dream and turned her direction to education which was a job to become a doctrinaire and to indoctrinate others.5 说fan fam logThe marriage between Hanmeimei and Lilei was planted since their infancy; this was the prologue of their romance. But they didn’t know each other until fate threw them together in that drama show: Romeo and Juliet. Lilei was doing his monologue, so eloquent ly that Han fell in love with him instantly. Some of her friends told her that Li was an infamous playboy, but Han merely considered them as defamatory remarks. Hanmeimei was a reticent girl, but when she was with Lilei she could be loquacious. Hanmeimei was apprehensive about their future, so she set up her own Decalogue: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. This action was fatal; it quickened the epilogue of their romance. Lilei ended it for those unbearable restraints.6 说ora vocOracle had that Hanmeimei would marry a teacher with a big mole on his left cheek, so when she was enjoying the adoration from Lilei who neither was bestowed with any moles nor took teaching as his vocation, she’d never thought about matrimony. Lilei was a great orator; even the most inexorable girl would fall for his oration of vocal love. So it provoked Lilei greatly when Han declined her proposal. When lilei was informed with the truth, as an advocate of modern science, he invoked the law of Newton to persuade Hanmeimei there was no such thing as oracle, hoping to make her revoke the refusal. Hanmeimei did, and married lilei. Later in their lives, whenever Lilei talked about this anecdote, it evoked the memories of shame and mortification from Hanmeimei.7 说+读ling+legChina is a country with stunning lingual diversity, in a sense, every Chinese is at least bilingual. And Hanmeimei was trilingual, she could speak mandarin, Cantonese, and a little English, but she wished to be a multilingual like linguist master Lin Yutang, so she practiced a third language every day until she got ulcer sublingually. However she was negligent in choosing the right language, she was learning Japanese. Some intellectuals said that it was a sacrilege to human brain. But Han thought an intelligent girl like her should tell the difference between patriotism and language. Thus she considered those rebukes as negligible obstacle and continued his Japanese learning. She asked her teacher for some readable Japanese novels, sadly, the teacher told her that her book were all aged and dog-eared so the writings were notintelligible and the book was not legible. Hanmeimei wanted to learn Japanese from Japanese Love-Action movie, but was disappointed to find that there were hardly any lines.8 读（看）spectRecently it was rumored that one of the anchor in CCXV had been apprehended for espionage. The news was like a specter haunting Hanmeimei, not because she herself was a spy (she was a downright party member and could recite the Conspectus of Mao Zhedong Theories). It put her in introspection about herself and gave her a new perspective on a wide spectrum of things, like who could be truly reliable, what was real and what was fake. In retrospect, all the people he had met would have a second identity. Hanmeimei was not a perspicacious girl, she suddenly had the feeling that the world was becoming less and less perspicuous, and she decided to be circumspect in every aspect in her future life. No conspicuous late-90’s clothes, just to keep a low-profile, and to be a spectator of the whole world. But an auspicious thinghappened, after careful inspection, the anchor proved to innocent and was released. Hanmeimei’s life returned to normal in no time.9 读（看）vis vidLilei was enjoying a vista of tress and lakes from the window, when he had his first visitation from Hanmeimei. Evidently, Lilei was ecstatic to have Han’s company. During the whole surgery, he had to visualize Han’s smile to survive the pain. It was his envisioning that Han would say yes to his proposal that sustained him. After the accident, which Lilei nearly sacrifice himself to save Han, Lilei thought it was providential for him to propose at that time because Han would never say no under such circumstance. Hanmemei didn’t feel that strongly for him, but he saved her life, So hanmeimei find herself in the invidious position to refuse him, she hoped that there was a device that could make herself fall in love with Lilei immediately. The proposal caught her by surprise, She nowhad to improvise some excuses and succeeded in doing so, “I would like to say yes, but I am now still under the supervision of my father, I should have his permission first. ”10 写gram/graphAn old epigram says that: the female and the despicable are the last people to be satisfied. When the senior Lilei was doing his autobiography, he felt just the same way. Lilei used to be a great fan of Chinese calligraphy, but this signifie d that he would be very poor for calligraphy had become less and less significant in modern society. Again and again Hanmeimei gave out direct and indirect signals that he should quit this unprofitable occupation. Furthermore she gave him several assignment s, one of them was to purchase a house within one year, or she wouldn’t marry him. So lilei had to resign his post as the president of the calligraph y association and consigned his works and the seal of his autograph to the dingy basement. Then lilei became a software designer who eventually was able to earn enough money to quenchHan’s thirst for wealth, but he was dumbfounded to find that Han wanted him to pick up his old painting brush since she now thought an engineer was in lack of romantic artistry. When Li finished the biography, she knew that even a monograph on Han couldn’t explain the complexity of women’s mind.11 写scribe/scriptWhen lilei was conscripted into the army to fight in the civil war, Hanmeimei became dotty day by day. At first she used Lilei’s manuscripts of lover letter as the life-supporter, but soon It wouldn’t work. She subscribed to the local newspaper, hoping to find out what was happening in the battlefield. Hadn’t heard from lilei for almost half a year, Han now ascribed the absence of lilei to the punishment of the god. She scribbled the scriptures from the Bible on the wall, asking for god’s mercy. “I am not carzy”, she shouted, tearing the prescription the local doctor gave her, “God will hear me and send my Lilei back.”She even carried a transcript of bible with her every day, talking to herself from time to time. At last, maybe god really heard her pleading, lilei was back only with some minor injuries. Hence, Han became the most faithful follower of the god.12 衣cover+tectIt was in high school when hanmeimei and lilei fell in love with each other, in order not to be discovered by the teaching supervisor who was so protective towards the students that he even equipped every classroom with a detectaphone, thus, they carried out their dating covertly, but a young couple as they were, they sometimes showed overt affection when they were eating together, like feeding each other. The first detector of that was Lily, who was the gossip queen and a famous detective for romance thus had coverage of every relationship in school; of course she uncovered the secret to the supervisor. He warned Han and Li that if they continued their affair, they would get expelled in no time. Hardly recover ing from the shock, they found that their parents were informed, at that time the only thing they wished to have was a hard tegument.13:食vor+dentHanmeimei was good at biology in high school, she knew that tiger was carnivorous, sheep was herbivorous, we human beings are omnivorous, she even knew that anteater was edentate and monkey cup was insectivorous plant. However, there was one thing that Han always feared to mention, she was a voracious eater, she could devour a whole chicken leg in less than half a minute, to make things worse, she never used dental floss after her gluttony, now she have to see the dentis t frequently for dental diseases, for example, decayed teeth. And she believed that when she reached seventy she would lose all her teeth and have to rely on dentures.Hanmeimei was not a domestic girl; she got ambitions, after she saw the pictures of domes on top of the church in west countries, she was determined to study overseas. She chose economics as her major and wanted to be an economist who she thought would help to boost the global economy, but the 2008 economic crisis made her realize that economists were impotent in the real world, they even were not economical enough to make ends meet. Han herself was a good example, she always spent more than she had, and was the poorest in her dormitory. So she quit her economic dream, and tried to be more domesticated and ladylike. But she only kept dormant for less than a month, and returned to her big ambition, but this time was different, she studied ecology.Hanmeimei’s first job was at grass-roots level where she worked as a teaching instructor in a small village located in the west part of china. At that time, the country strongly advocated the construction of a new socialist countryside, so you could see infrastructures schools, public parks, were under construction everywhere. The village was designed to receive the people from the relocation caused by the Three Gorges Dam. So the priority of Han’s job was to make those new residents localized. And she did it quite well that the local government allocated a small house to her, hoping to make her stay permanent. Han, a modern girl with ambitions, knew that staying there forever was self-destructive, but she also knew there were many obstructers keeping her from leaving because she played an instrumental role in the localization of the people. At last, whenthe structure of the village was almost accomplished, Han deliberately dislocated his arm, and was sent to the city for treatment. Of course, she never came back there after that.16．行Cess+ceedIt has been raining incessantly for two days; Hanmeimei became exceedingly impatient for lilei hadn’t got here yet. It was the big day that Lilei should bring up the proposal to her parents. The awful weather must have kept him from proceeding smoothly. Han’s parents had opposed the match for a very long time. According to the tradition of their antecedents, the precedent son-in-laws were all scholars, to have Lilei, a mechanical engineer, as Han’s husband would be a recession of the family. Thus they warned Hanmeimei, if she married that degraded worker, she would have no access to the family legacy. Thanks to the intercession of the relatives, the parents finally made a concession to end this dispute, but they also wanted Lilei to accede to the request that their children would carry on the family name as Han, which meant that lilei had to cede hispatriarchy to Hanmeimei. This was excessively unacceptable to Li, so now he decided to talk to Han’s parents himself, but it was deferred by the damn weather. Of course eventually the marriage was a success, later we will elaborate on the reasons.。
