即将踏上赴上海的旅程,除了一些欣喜之外,也有一些担心.毕竟,是第一次去上海,对那里的一切都不熟悉.

所以,做一些准备是必要的.

十字路口,亦或者道路笔直,又如何...

选择、坚持,究竟是什么

得到、失去,意义在哲学里迷路

生活、去面对

一次次的挫折、一次次的错

... ...

经过了几十天的艰难选择,我终于决心回来.继续我的学习生涯.

倒记时又开始恢复工作.而300多天眼看着就要变成2字开头了,心里又是一阵的紧张.慌忙间会问自己,"时间都用到哪里去了?"

无论怎样,"今天"都是最重要的.

一切都可以从今天开始,将"明天"作为延续.

我很平静,很平静......

The man chosen by President Bush to be his new Defense Secretary Robert Gates has told the Senate Committee that the United States is not winning in Iraq. The Senate Armed Forces Committee has unanimously approved Mr. Gates in his new post. And the full Senate is expected to endorse this later in the week. From Washington, our correspondent Justin Web.

Only weeks ago, President Bush said America was winning the war in Iraq. Asked whether he believed the US was winning Mr. Gates responded without hesitation, "No sir". America's course over the next two years would he said, determine whether there could be a slow improvement or a regional conflagration. There were no rhetorical flourishes in this performance but Mr. Gates was hugely assertive. He said he didn't want the job. He was doing it because he loved his country. Once he was confirmed, all options would be on the table. Mr. Gates also distanced himself from those who might be considering military action against Iran. That will be an absolute last resort, he said. After this confident performance, Mr. Gates is certain to be confirmed in office probably this week.

American commanders in Iraq say they expect the entire country to be under Iraqi provincial control within less than a year. The senior US military spokesman Major General William Caldwell said that the command of all Iraqi army divisions should have passed from American to Iraqi control even sooner by late spring or early summer next year.

Joe Conner from the Stroke Association in the United Kingdom says it is an exciting prospect for sufferers.

The health authorities in New York City have voted to ban a controversial food ingredient known as Transfats可以连写吧 转基因脂类 from the city's restaurants and food shops. It'll be the first American city to ban the product which can clog arteries and cause serious health problems. Restaurants will have until next July in next year to stop using the ingredient as a cooking oil. And by July 2008, they must be phased out altogether. These New Yorkers were asked for their reactions.

I think the fact that Transfats have been banned in New York is really the first step for New York to become a more healthy city, I really do.
Well I think it's a good thing because it's healthier, I think you can get the same flavor in the same amount of cooking by not using Transfat oils. ok. It might even taste better.
In 1970, this gotta kill you, I smoke I drink. And these things will kill you too, so two difference.
