这里提供了北美留学考试(GRE,SAT,TOEFL)写作项目中最核心的备考资料。。 
刚刚在K2的Google支持论坛发布了自己翻译的K2简体中文语言包,也算是表示对K2主题的感谢,因为这个博客也是靠K2的支持。语言包的下载地址是:http://k2-support.googlegroups.com/web/zh_CN.mo。安装方法如下:
define ('WPLANG', '');
改为:
define ('WPLANG', 'zh_CN');
K2是一款功能强大、且外观易于实现定制化的WordPress主题。它由Michael Heilemann, Chris J Davis, Zeo, Steve Lam和Ben Sherratt这几个PHP牛人开发。其中,Michael Heilemann正是WordPress默认主题Kurick的开发者。所以,所谓K2,正是指Kubrick二代。

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: In order to become financially responsible adults, children should manage their money at a young age. (Money) 2010.1.15
Wiser conclusions are to be drawn when financially responsible adults are defined in a different way. To be a good hand at personal and family expenditure in future adult life, children indeed should learn about money and participate in financial decisions, even at a young age. However, once financially responsible adults are deemed as those financially responsible for the care and maintenance of parents, children should not only beware of money management but family obligations.
Undeniably, money management is akin to self-discipline, which is, after all, among the main parenting objectives. Because children’s financial judgment is usually not the same as that of adults, it is necessary that parents explain their point of view. For example, a child, who has had the right to take care of his/her own money, may opt to buy something adults consider foolish, such as 10 albums of a particular pop singer, or a whole collection of Teddy Bears. When this happens, the parents are supposed to tell the child that merely being partial to entertaining stuff constitutes a waste of hard-earned money, and more focus should be put on books and extracurricular activities, things more rewarding. Likewise, if a child immediately spends an entire allowance or earnings and has nothing left for the rest of the week, the parents might extend a loan which should be repaid. Thereafter, the child must learn the lesson that money does not grow on trees.

“wait, I’ll be back.”
It was that single line that touched my heart.
More than often did I find that all the fortuities having occurred in my life were, as a matter of fact, fortunes; or, fortunes fortuities. I don’t have a clue, but shit, like successfully nailing the exact girl I was deeply in love with right on the day after college graduation, or stuttering my way to a popular English teacher, happens.
This one time, I earn crush from some really gorgeous girl while she’s not single. Me, neither. FML!
I, amorally, if not immorally, provoked that naive part of her heart, attempting to withdraw all the evil intentions as I have been. I bet that’s what each and every male human being tends to do. However, I could hardly articulate what I intended to say with such shame when hearing that the dude who dates her calling from the other shore of the Pacific Ocean just to say “wait till I’m back”. He’s the one, while I’m just some random dude who possibly only wants to go dirty.
I had to turn back and reluctantly waved goodbye, still with shame.

这是我一个姐们儿对麦当劳的感悟。
左边是我在波士顿麦当劳买的甜筒,右边是在川大附近的麦当劳买的甜筒。好吧,单不说在美国一个甜筒的价格才1.2,中国是2.5,这造型恐怕也说不过去吧~跟左边的比起来,右边的我拿到手的第一感觉就是:这玩意是畸形儿~
俺家在山区,可能是山区邮递员的拼音普及程度不够,于是当年的GRE成绩没收到。焦急的我最后还是花钱电话查询了分数,因为当时以为GRE和托福(TOEFL)不一样,不能在线查成绩。其实后来才发现,ETS早已经提供了方便的在线查询系统,不过还没有在教育部的网站上实现这个功能,所以很多朋友还不知道。现将方法分享如下:
第一步:进入:http://cbt.etest.net.cn/WebSR/Common/Login.aspx,登陆后,显示如下界面点击“考试历史记录”。点击后会下载一个WORD文档,你会需要文档中的16位Confirmation No.。此WORD文档是加密文档,不能直接复制,你可以手工记录,也可以复制此WORD文档的文件名;文件名本身就是那个16位Confirmation No.。
