Massive Explosions Rock Chinese City

On August 12, a serious explosion accident hit northern city Tianjin of China. By far，it has killed approximately 135 people and injured about 400. Among these people, 17 are firemen and they died in this explosion. The specific location is in the new developing area of Tianjin Tanggu. When firemen put out the fire, the explosion happened. At that time, some people said that there was a huge flame and smog in the sky. Instantaneously, surrounded buildings and resident houses collapsed, and people all fled towards every direction. The strike which was brought by explosion accident was a colossal disaster for us. However, we learned a lesson from it. In the future, people should protect themselves and government should pay attention to personal safety. We hope healing the wounded and rescuing the dying can proceed successfully. The accident lesson can be firmly remembered, and such a terrible thing will never happen again.

New semester starts from the taste

The new semester comes as expected. To welcome the fresh blood joining the campus, Guangyuan High school refreshes her face and changes the new looking. This amazing change starts from the dining halls. Recall the old one, we can still hear all kinds of complaints from plenty of students, “The food is so disgusting…”“I can’t stand the environment here…” “It’s just like the nightmare for me…” Not just for students, going to the refectory is also a reluctant thing for teachers. Many students and teachers choose to go outside for dinner. Nevertheless, things are totally different when senior 3 students came into school earlier than others. The refectory becomes much more refined than before and has a new looking: the No.1 and No.2 refectories have already opened up, and the foods here are amazingly delicious. Hot pot noodles, griddles, dessert, fried dishes, fruit nutritious rice, and even diverse western-style foods… Students are all astonished by various palatable meals, and now the menu of refectory is the topic of students’ communication during their free time. Therefore, for students who haven’t come into the campus yet, are you ready for accepting this wonderful change in the refectory?

Recommendation: ☆☆☆☆☆

Plots and feelings: This story happens in the near future. The developing technology makes the artificial intelligence more advanced just like real human. The main role, Theodore, is an excellent letter writer who lives alone and feels lonely. He has some conflicts with his wife, Molly, and wants to divorce her, though they loved each other deeply in the past. Theodore is so lonely that he buys an artificial intelligence, which can act like a real person, but doesn’t have a real body. This artificial intelligence is called Samantha. Samantha has a very beautiful voice and a very considerate personality. They talk to each other anytime and everywhere. Samantha is just like Theodore’s secretary, friend, and soul mate. Gradually, they fall in love with each other, but Samantha doesn’t exist, only in sound, which is an obstacle between them. They have very pleasing moments, but Samantha is retreated by her company with others at the end of this movie. This movie can give people a warm feeling. The main color of this movie is primarily warm-toned, which forms very strong contrast with personalities and mental aspect of characteristics. The plot of this movie is very logical, lovely but also thought-provoking. We can see the potential problems behind this society with the development of technology. People become more individual and sole, and there is less communication between each other. Gradually, artificial intelligence will replace the real human, and the most important and also necessary communication between people will lose away. There are a lot of scenes in this movie that people walking on the street alone always talk with the phone and merely look at and communicate with others. We can realize some crucial social problems from it: what does the advanced technology really bring to us?

 Remember the name

The writer of this song is Fort Minor and it was published in 2006.The powerful and engaging rap is still a popular topic now. The lyrics of this song are the self-analysis of Mike Shinoda, Ryu and Takbir, but it also can be our own self-analysis. They are very plain, outspoken, but also real. “It’s 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentration, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember the name.” This line tells us when we get in plenty of troubles in our lives, we need to overcome them confidently and firmly, because good fortune always favors brave and courageous. Take another line as an example. “He knows how to work with what he got making his way to the top.” For the lyrics, we know that the success should be endeavored instead of waiting. In our daily life, we don’t need the reason to fight for our dream, the only thing we need to do is to try our best. Therefore, the song is kind of motivation for people who are fighting for their dreams.
