　　Cooperation offers us a break from the pressure and stress of competition. A win-win approach tends to fosters exploration of the root causes of the conflict and leads to constructive, sustainable solutions with positive expectation for future encounters.

Two heads are better than one. Cooperation is marvelously successful at helping children to communicate effectively, to trust in others and to accept those who are different from themselves.

　　关于文化与文明

　　Technical skills are over-emphasized in schools and the wider society.

The value of reciting classics lies in the spiritual dimension rather than practical use.

　　It is ridiculous to teach children to recite classic works, according to those who opposite this activity and consider those works as outdated and boring. What is urgent, from their perspective is to establish the new social values of the market economy, instead of promoting the old values of the feudal society.

　　Some classical literary works, such as our four great classics i.e. A Dream of Red Mansions, Journey to the West, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Heroes of the Marshes, are all adapted to cater to some readers tastes. The traditional characters become so strange and the plots are totally different. It is so ridiculous that the precious literary treasures are allowed to be ruined so much.

　　There are numerous causes for this problem, and I would like to explore a few of the most important ones here. On the one hand, the theory and evidence that I have seen all seems to strongly suggest that human-related emissions of carbon into the atmosphere is causing, and will in the future cause, significant global warming. On the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem.

It is urgent that immediate and effetive actions should be taken right away. First, more trees need to be planted to help improve and beautify the environment. Besides, stricter laws concerning global warming and irresponsible use of fuel resources have to be put into effect and achieved good results. As an individual, there are lots way to reduce the global warming: to ride a bike instead of a car,to use environmental plastic bags and so on. In a word, there is a long way to go before we can take a comfortable world for granted again.
