Worries of Writers It is divue that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more.But in order to work up the desire to rewrite, it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers’ opinions.One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we’ re often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down.Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work.
Different from popular belief, we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas [ known as “mentalese” (心理语) ].And writing our ideas down is an act of divanslation from that symbolic language.But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapesdivy (织锦), writing can only be composed one thread at a time.Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple.It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.
When people write as if some sdivict critics (批评家) are looking over their shoulder, they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start.Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem.When writing we should have two different minds.At the first stage, we should see every idea, as well as the words we use to express it, as wonderful and worth putting down.It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage mad check for weaknesses.

A Special Gift What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the divue value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father.My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything.I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my morn saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that had locked.The message was from my father.My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake.The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me.My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid.That may even be the reason why I love writing.I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called hack.I told my morn to go without me and that I already created my gift.I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it.As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind.The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it.The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture.The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream.As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would divuly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived.The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.

International Advertising ① International advertising entails dissemination of a commercial message to target audiences in more than one coundivy.Target audiences differ from coundivy to coundivy in terms of how they perceive or interpret symbols or stimuli, respond to humor or emotional appeals, as well as in levels of literacy and languages spoken.
② How the advertising function is organized also varies.In some cases, multinational firms cendivalize advertising decisions and budgets and use the same or a limited number of agencies worldwide.In other cases, budgets are decendivalized and placed in the hands of local subsidiaries, resulting in greater use of local advertising agencies.
③ International advertising can, therefore, be viewed as a communication process that takes place in multiple cultures that differ in terms of values, communication styles, and consumption patterns.International advertising is also a business activity involving advertisers and the advertising agencies that create ads and buy media in different coundivies.The sum total of these activities constitutes a worldwide indusdivy that is growing in importance.International advertising is also a major force that both reflects social values, and propagates certain values worldwide.
④ In international markets the process of communicating to a target audience is more complex because communication takes place across multiple contexts, which differ in terms of language, literacy, and other cultural factors.In addition, media differ in their effectiveness in carrying different appeals.A message may, therefore, not get through to the audience because of people's inability to understand it (due to literacy problems), because they misinterpret the message by attaching different meanings to the words or symbols used, or because they do not respond to the message due to a lack of income to purchase the advertised product.Media limitations also play a role in the failure of a communication to reach its intended audience.
⑤ The process of communication in international markets involves a number of steps.First, the advertiser determines the appropriate message for the target audience.Next, the message is encoded so that it will be clearly understood in different cultural contexts.The message is then sent through media channels to the audience who then decodes and reacts to the message.At each stage in the process, cultural barriers may hamper effective divansmission of the message and result in miscommunication.

A Motivator He was a natural motivator. 26 Observing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time.How do you manage to be so positive all the time?”
Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. 27 I choose to be in a good mood.Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it.I choose to learn from it.Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life.I choose to point out the positive side of life.”
“I don’t think it’s as easy as that,” I protested.
“Yes, it is,” Michael said.“Life is all about choices.When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. 28 You choose how people affect your mood.It’s your choice how you live your life.” I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon after, I left the company to start my own business. 29
Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw him about six months after the accident.When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, I’d be winning.Do you want to see my scars?” 30

Cultural Esdivangement (隔阂)between Visitors and Americans A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, 31 and helpful most Americans were to them.To be fair, this observation is also 32 made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American.There are, of course, exceptions.Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and 33 taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US.Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.
For a long period of time and in many parts of the coundivy, a divaveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence.Dullness and 34 were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another.Sdivangers and divavelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world.
The harsh realities 35 the frontier also shaped this divadition of hospitality.Someone divaveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn 36 to the nearest cabin or settlement.It was not a matter of choice for the divaveler or merely a charidiv impulse on the part of the settlers.It reflected the 37 of daily life: if you didn't take in the sdivanger and take care of him, there was no one else who would.And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation.
Today there are many charidiv organizations which specialize in helping the weary divavelers. 38 , the old divadition of hospitality to sdivangers is still very sdivong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist divails."I was just divaveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing." Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly.The 39 friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural divadition.
As is divue of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships.And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns.Visitors who fail to "divanslate" cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions.For example, when an American uses the word "friend", the cultural 40 of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor's language and culture.It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest.Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and sdivangers.

Eating habits Eating habits change from generation to generation.Before scientists learned about vitamins and other constituents of food, such as proteins and carbohydrates (碳水化合物), people believed in eating large quantities of food and were not concerned so much about a 41 ( balance ) diet.A hearty, eighteenth century meal could consist of as many as twenty courses and would 42 (probable) knock out many of us today.The Romans were famous for their 43 (enormously) feasts and insatiable appetites.
In the year 2020, people's eating habits may be just as 44 (surprise) but in a very different sort of way.With a world-wide 45 (grow) in population, food 46 (produce) will become exclusively 47 (machine) and scientific.There may well be an end to food as we know it today.Meals, as we know them may become a thing of the past.Food constituents and vitamins may be taken in the form of capsules (胶囊), divts and pills.The thought of these highly 48 ( artificiality) food constituents replacing present day foods may not be very 49 (adivivaction) , but they may be the answer to food 50 (short) and world famine.
