Known as oriental Hawaii, the Golden Beach is a must for visitors. Bordering on the Bohai Sea to its east, it has unique scenery and comfortable climate, and attracts large numbers of admirers from all over the world. The Golden Beach Resort of Tianjin Normal University was build in 1986. The project covers an area of 20,000 square meters, with a floor space of 2,280 square meters. Through years of development, the Golden Beach Resort has taken shape, and now can receive over 3 thousand tourists every year. The resort area is designed in the style of a traditional Chinese garden with flower-fringed lawns and oval-stone-paved paths winding through tall locust woods.(注意转换)

If the reading of books is under-estimated, it is at least a display of shortsightedness, if not ignorance. The school is a place that teaches one to read and become a useful person. Schools are forever connected with books. A school without books cannot be considered a true school. To teach a person to read, you must have books, and naturally, textbooks are also books that should be well learned first and foremost. But as Ye Shengtao, one of our elders of the educational circle, says “Textbooks are nothing but a collection of examples”, they can only give the minimum amount of nourishment needed to support one’s life, which is just enough to keep him from dying of hunger/ alive, but certainly not enough to ensure his sturdy growth. Farmers all understand that if they wish to grow a good crop, sufficient water and fertilizer must be

given. Books for outside reading serve as “water” and “fertilizer” to nourish the students. How can we do without them?

Fundamentally speaking, the root cause of all problems that arise in some countries lies in their failure to boost the economy. They lack adequate food and clothing, and since wage increases are offset by inflation, living standards decline and consequently severe hardship must be endured for long periods. A prolonged low rate of economic development makes it very difficult to raise living standards. Why do our people support us? Because we have achieved progress, indeed, remarkable progress, over the past 10 years. Let us suppose that we remain at a standstill for five years, or progress slowly, at, for example, an annual rate of 4-5 or even 2-3 percent, what would be the effect? This is actually a political issue.
