童年时,家是一声呼唤。那时的我似乎比今日的孩子拥有更多的自由。放学后,不会先在父母前露面,而是与左右相邻的小朋友聚在一起,天马行空,玩的天昏地暗,直至街上的人散去,听见焦急的父母在四处:“回家了,吃饭了。” 这样的声音伴着我的童年,月复一月,迄今仍在我的耳畔回响。

我常常在思考“家”究竟是什么?有人说:家是酝酿爱与幸福的酒坊,是盛满温馨和感动等待品味的酒杯。是在疲惫时回到家后爱人真情的拥抱,是彼此相守默默注视的目光…… 还有人说:家是风雨中的一间小屋,家是大雪天里的一杯热酒,家是一次次失败后的鼓励……

家是忙碌奔波疲惫时。最想回去好好休息的温床。家是在外面受委屈回来后,可以痛痛快快哭一场而没人笑你软弱的地方。家是日行千里夜走八百后。离你最远却始终与你记忆最近的画面。无论你的人生是如何的辉煌或者是落魄。家。永远是你最牵挂的地方。太平时,家是一座博物馆,又是一个加油站。家里的一本书一封信一帧照片,都可以引出一段属于你们家的故事,流传天南与地北;一把茶壶一顶帽子一把椅子,都储存着家的文化传统和信息,绵延一代又一代。

家,一个多么温馨的港湾,承载了多少人的梦。烦恼的时候,想到它,豁然开朗;忧郁的时候,想到它,微微一笑;沉闷的时候,想到它,如释重负。

家,简简单单的一个字,却包含了太多,只有亲情才是无法泯灭的永恒。自古以来,无数诗人咏唱过游子的思家之情。“渔灯暗,客梦回,一声声滴人心碎。孤舟五更家万里,是离人几行情泪。”家是游子梦魂萦绕的永远的岸。

Professor: OK. We’ve been talking till now about the two basic needs of a biological community – an energy source to produce organic materials, you know uh, food for the organisms, and the waste recycling or breakdown of materials back into inorganic molecules, and about how all this requires photosynthesis when green plants or microbes convert sunlight into energy, and also requires microorganisms, bacteria, to secrete chemicals that break down or recycle the organic material to complete the cycle. So, now we are done with this chapter of the textbook, we can just review for the weekly quiz and move on to the next chapter, right? Well, not so fast. First, I ‘d like to talk about some discoveries that have challenged one of these fundamental assumptions about what you need in order to have a biological community. And, well, there actually were quite a few surprises. It all began in 1977 with the exploration of hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. Hydrothermal vents are cracks in the Earth’s surface that occur, well, the ones we are taiking about here are found deep at the bottom of the ocean. And these vents

Student: Hi, I was wondering if I could talk with you about the assignment in the film theory class. Professor: Of course, Jill. Student: It seems that pretty much everyone else in the class gets what they are supposed to be doing but I’m not so sure. Professor: Well, the class is for students who are really serious about film. You must have taken film courses before. Student: Yeah, in high school, film appreciation. Professor: Hmmm…I wouldn’t think that would be enough. Did you concentrate mainly on form or content? Student: Oh, definitely content. We’d watch, say Lord of the Flies, and then discuss it. Professor: Oh, that approach, treating film as literature, ignoring what makes it unique. Student: I liked it, though. Professor: Sure, but that kind of class. Well, I’m not surprised that you are feeling a little lost. You know, we have two introductory courses that are supposed to be taken before you get to my course, one in film art, techniques, technical stuff and another in film history. So students in the class you are in should be pretty far along in film studies. In fact, usually the system blocks anyone trying to sign up for a class they shouldn’t be taking, who hasn’t taken the courses you are required to do first as prerequisites. Student: Well, I did have a problem with that but I discussed it with one of your office staff, and she gave me permission. Professor: Of course. No matter how many times I tell them, they just keep on… Well, for your own good, I’d really suggest dropping back and starting at the usual

Student: Hi, can I ask you a few questions about starting classes during your summer session? Q1 Admission officer: Sure, ask away. It starts next week, you know. Student: Yeah, and I wanted to get some required courses out of the way, so I can, maybe I can graduate one term earlier and get out into the job market sooner. Q2 Admission officer: That sounds like a good idea. Let me pull up the summer school database on my computer here. Student: Ok. Admission officer: OK, here it is. What?s your student ID number? Student: Oh, well, the thing is, I?m no t actually admitted here. I will be starting school upstate at Hooper University in the fall, but I?m down here for the summer staying with my grandparents, …cause I have a summer job near here. Admission officer: Oh, I see. Well. Student: So I?m out of lu ck? Admission officer: Well, you would be if you were starting anywhere but Hooper, but City College has a sort of special relationship with Hooper, a full exchange agreement. So our students can take classes at Hooper, and vice versa.Q5 So if you can show me proof, eh, your admissions letter from Hooper, then I can get you into our system here and give you an ID number. Student: Oh, cool. So, um, I wanna take a math course and a science course, preferably biology, and I was also hoping to get my English Composition Course out of the way, too. Admission officer: Well, all three of those courses are offered in the summer, but you?ve got to understand that summer courses are condensed. You need longer hours and the assignments are doubled up because it?s the s ame

Student: Hi, I am looking for this book, The American Judicial System, and I can’t seem to find it anywhere. I need to read a chapter for my Political Science class. Library Employee: Let me check in the computer. Um, doesn’t seem to be checked out, and it’s not on reserve. You’ve checked the shelves, I assume? Student: Yeah, I even checked other shelves and tables next to where the book should be. Library Employee: Well, it’s still here in the library, so people must be using it. You know, this seems to be a very popular book title. We show six copies, none are checked out, and yet you didn’t even find one copy on the shelves. Is it a big class? Student: Maybe about seventy-five? Library Employee: Well, you should ask your professor to put some of the copies on reserve. You know about the reserve system, right? Student: I know you have to read reserved books in the library and that you have time limits, but I didn’t know that I could ask a professor to put a book on reserve. I mean, I thought the professors make that kind of decision at the beginning of the semester. Library Employee: No, they can put books on reserve at any time during the semester. Student: You know, reserving books seems a bit unfair. What if someone who’s not in the class wants to use the book? Library Employee: That’s why I said some copies! Student: Ah! Well, I’ll certainly talk to my professor about it tomorrow. But what am I going to do tonight? Library Employee: I guess you could walk around the Poli/Sci section and look at the books waiting to be re-shelved.

In recent years, however, the sale of fossils, particularly of dinosaurs and other large vertebrates, has grown into a big business. Rare and important fossils are now being sold to private ownership for millions of dollars. This is an unfortunate development for both scientists and the general public. The public suffers because fossils that would otherwise be donated to museums where everyone can see them are sold to private collectors who do not allow the public to view their collections. Making it harder for the public to see fossils can lead to a decline in public interest in fossils, which would be a pity.

Professor: Hi Robert. So how's your paper going? Robert: Pretty well. It's a lot of work, but I’m getting into it, so I don't mind. I’ll probably have some questions for you in the next week or so. Professor: Okay. Glad to hear you’re progressing so well. Robert: Um… There was something you said at the end of the lecture on Tuesday, something about there not really being any original plays. Professor: There’s no such thing as an original play. Yes. That's the direct quote from Charles Mee. Robert: Mee… that's with two “e”s, right? Professor: Yep. M-E-E. You'll probably be hearing a lot about him. He's becoming a pretty famous playwright. Robert: Yeah,well, I’ve been thinking about his quote. I mean there must be some original plays out there. Professor: I’ll grant that he's overstating things somewhat. But the theater does have a long tradition of borrowing. Take Shakespeare. Like most writers of his day, he borrowed plots from other sources unabashedly. And the ancient Greeks, all the plays they wrote were based on earlier plays, poems and myths.

It’s my major and I mean, planning out atown or city goes along with that. I mean, not that I don't like history...l aminterested in history…really interested.

But for the paper you wanted us to try to include a comparison, right? Professor Yes. Actually, that was really the purpose of the assignment. The way the UnitedStates developed or perhaps I should say the colonies, since the land that wouldbecome the Eastern United States…uh...there were British colonies there fourhundred years ago.
