When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960 , before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
I was young I had never been seen, there is a very good magazine, called the “Global Catalog”, can be considered that generation of the Bible. The founder of this magazine named Stewart Brand, who lives in Monroe Park not far from here. His poetic strokes for this magazine to life. That was the sixties, PC and computer publishing has not been popular, so the whole magazine is complete with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras, a paper version of the Google search, but earlier than Google, 35 years. It is the embodiment of idealism, all over the pages are neat tools and great ideas.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age . On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stuart and his The team launched a few of the “Global Catalog” published last one when they encounter a problem. Was the mid-1970s, when I am with you now about the same size. Finally a black cover on a photo, the photo is an early morning country road, the kind you ride traveling will be able to see the trail, if you have such a spirit of adventure. The photo below this sentence: “thirsty for knowledge, humbly Ruoyu.” This is their curtain call, left a farewell speech. Stay hungry, stay foolish. I always hope I can do this.

Music affects us as profoundly as anything we experience. Very many people say that music is a big part of their everyday life. We can hear evidence of this in the blaring car radio and see the jogger with his personal stereo. That is the new portability of music that brings it everywhere people live, play and work. There are different kinds of music for all tastes: classical, pop, rock, rap, jazz, folk. Each culture has its own style. Different parts of the body resonate to different sounds and pitches. And most significantly, certain kinds of music resound powerfully in the human spirit. We can listen to music anywhere and everywhere. Listening to music can change your mood, sometimes dramatically. Sometimes if you are feeling low, it tempting to play slow, sad music but this will make you feel worse. An uplifting tune or a cheerful song can instantly improve your energy levels and your emotional well-being. Music in film and television shows us how music can affect mood. A romantic drama will have a very different film score to a thriller. The old silent films originally had a pianist in the cinema, playing along, trying to strike the right mood. At times, when watching a film or TV program, you know what about to happen because of the music being played. You can anticipate the terror such as in jars. There are many times when I e turned down the sound during a TV program and used subtitles because the music unsettles me so much. Playing Mozart when studying is said to increase our IQ. A recent study has shown that children who learn a musical instrument are much quicker at developing spatial awareness and problem-solving skills. Relaxation music has a slow rhythm. Sounds are often symphonized and they are maybe added natural sounds such as whale sound, bird sound, waves or gentle rain to help produce a feeling of calm and relaxation.

As a normal person, you see colors everywhere, so long as you have good eyesight. In fact, Color plays an essential role in our life. For example, color is used to communicate life-saving information. To the driver of a vehicle, the green color means go and the red color means stop. You should always pull up when the traffic lights turns red. Besides, colors can irritate or sooth your eye, raise your appetite, or even change your mood. A delicious meal with appropriate color can certainly makes your mouth watering. Good colors also help us in many other ways. Statistic show that in a sports competition a team wearing red has a higher chance of winning. Of course, it is largely due to the psychology of wearing red. Luck and ability can be more important. For animals, colors reflect their environment and their characteristics. For instance, a male peacock has its tail feathers of bright colors to win the attention of female peacocks. A treefrog can be so green as to indicate its poisonous nature. So don t eat it or you might die. A wasp with its bright yellow color may warn us that it has a sting and it is not afraid to use that sting. People often think that rainbow is the most colorful, but for our artists, all they need are three colors, namely, red, blue and yellow. They are called the primary colors, colors that can not be made by mixing others together. And our artists can mix them together to create any color in the rainbow and hundreds of other shades in making art. Q 23 Why are green and red colors important to drivers?

M: Well, I have been trying to give up smoking for a long time. But you know it not easy. And I afraid I don have that strong will.
< br /> F: I think the government should ban smoking in all the public places and they should levy heavier taxes on selling and buying cigarettes.
M: What really makes me mad is the attitude toward morals. Some people are really shocked, because in the theaters today, actors are allowed to walk about stage with little or without any clothes on and they think it right that the plays should be able to walk into our galleries and decide whether pictures are works of art or obscene. But the same people are shocked by advertisement which persuade the public to buy things which can do real harm, like cigarettes or alcohol for example, I think a lot of advertisements are much more immoral than so-called pornographic or dirty plays and books, because they lie or at least disguise the truth.
F: How do you know the pornographic pictures and books don do harm?
M: I didn t say they did no harm. I just suggesting that the whole question of morality is relative. I think the behavior. of some businessman is relatively more immoral than that of some of the young people they criticize.
