Do You Know The Girl's Day. 3.8 is International Women's Day, and till yesterday i knew about the Girl's Day,which is on 3.7.It seems all universities in Shanghai celebrate for that day,especially in those boy-dominated school LOL.

Of Studies be Francis Bacon Reviewed by QiJin Of studies is one of the most notable articles in Francis Bacon's easy collection, who was an exceptional master and reformer in his age. Consisted of three parts, the passage illustrates how studies serve us, how we read different books and how studies can enrich our characters respectively. In Bacon's view, studies serve for self relaxation, for elegant rhetoric and for personal quality. It is more valuable for people to gain wisdom from reading than any other purpose.To make the best from reading, selected books and selective manners of reading are of great importance. And also, to make a better man of ourselves, selective and targeted studies are the recipe for character development. From my perspective, as exam-oriented education is keeping popular in today's society, Bacon's argument no doubt cast a new light on this long-discussed issue. His idea reminds us of the baseline that we study for self-improvement which is regularly ignored by most of us. What we learn will someday come into our character and have deeper affects in our life time than just help us through the exams. Professionals may be good in just one filed but masters understand that knowledge is connected to each other. Take a simple example of Steven Jobs, who was a legend, a wonder producer in IT business. His unique taste for art is certainly the magic eye that helps him see the hidden gold mine in the market. No one would have expected that a little experience of art could make such profound difference, which, to some extend, coincides with Bacon's theory. Despite the profound idea it provides, I have some trouble about the structure and the expression with this article. In my opinion, it lacks enough logical transitions and has focused too much on the rhetoric which may sometimes confuse the reader and prevent them from getting the true ethics somehow. But these small weakness can stop this easy to be a master piece.Though hundreds of years have passed from it first coming out, it still ignites the spark of wisdom and foresight today.
