  7. Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England. His parents' house was in north London, but during the second world war Oxford was considered a safer place to have babies. When he was eight, his family moved to St Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London. At eleven Stephen went to St Albans School, and then on to University College, Oxford, his father's old college. Stephen wanted to do Mathematics, although his father would have preferred medicine. Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did Physics instead. After three years and not very much work he was awarded a first class honours degree in Natural Science.

  8. A Person I Admire (Pat Feb. 29, 2008) When I was an elementary school student, I liked to watch English teaching programs on TV. One day, I turned to the channel which Ms. Ruby Hsu was teaching on, and I learned English with her. It (?) was interesting and (attracting) fascinating. From then on, I was fond of English. And being an excellent English teacher has been my dream because of her. She is a person I admire and respect. She is my role model. Ms. Ruby Hsu is a beautiful (Too general. Be specific.) lady. She stands about five point five feet tall and weighs average. She has long hair, bend eyebrows, and sparkling eyes. She is also an energetic woman who is always full of energy and wears smiles on her face. Ruby didn’t grow up in a big city. Her family was not rich (when) during(she was in) her childhood. Unlike many people who could afford to go to cram schools, she (only) could only study by herself. However, she was not depressed. She knew that she loved English and that she should study harder and harder. She believed “Practice makes perfect.” As long as she practiced more than others, she must be the best. Thus, she (empowered) enhanced her English (abilities) proficiency of every aspect by reading books, magazines, and newspapers, watching English TV programs and movies, and listening to the broadcast on the radio. Also, Ruby never gave up any opportunity to train herself. She participated in lots of competitions; no matter they belonged to recitation, speech, or drama. Moreover, during (the) her university life, she had once been a public interpreter for several times. And she did marvelously well on her English (United) Joint Entrance Examination. Her (grades were) score was the second highest among all students in the country. Ruby is a great English teacher. She teaches very well (Too general). She always tells her students not to be afraid of English even though they don’t like it. She encourages them by asserting that they have to be brave to try mistakes and never give up. She expects each student of hers may be (?) able to be confident and vital (WD?) as she when learning, and to study hard all the time. Furthermore, Ruby instructs (WD) plenty of methods of learning English. Those skills are knacks which she created by her own or by her learning experiences when she was a student. They were the fruits of her wisdom which would help students. In conclusion, Ms. Ruby Hsu is really a wonderful (instructor) English teacher, and a special woman. Although she is about forty years old, she is still as enthusiastic as any young person. She has such zeal in teaching English. I learn from her to be ardent. I hope I can keep going, learning with all my heart, and build up my confidence. I wish myself to(WD/Gram)be an admirable English teacher as she achieves in the future.

  9. Spare Sun Yat-sen's legacy By Li Chen-ching/ Wednesday, Feb 07, 2007, Page 8, Taipei Times As the debate over the planned revision of history textbooks for high schools continues, it is unfathomable that the recognized status of Sun Yat-sen (孫中山) as the founding father of the nation could be nullified. As mentioned in your newspaper, Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) rightly said that the planned revision of high school history books is aimed at teaching students "to know our own nation and its history" ("Su defends planned textbook changes," Feb. 1, page 3). And yet, while Su technically supported Minister of Education Tu Cheng-sheng's (杜正勝) decision to drop the reference to Sun as the "father of the nation," the vast majority of the intelligentsia perceive that there could be political implications to the revision. With his political openness, broad knowledge and understanding of international education, Su should not allow his judgment to be swayed by politics. I fully endorse Su's contention that all Taiwanese should care about our homeland. This is why and how in the past 50 years the nation has managed to become a globally recognized high-tech power. The title Taiwan has earned as one of the "Four Little Dragons" is the accomplishment of the Taiwanese people and has come about because of the joint effort from every sector, regardless of birthplace or political affiliation. Aside from the lengthy list of industrial and economic developments over the past several decades, the nation's democratization is the accomplishment that Taiwanese can be most proud of, despite all of its imperfections. All these successes were derived from, or are compatible with, the early national reconstruction draft laid out by Sun. As a medical scientist educated at Honolulu's Iolani School, Sun set an example for us to follow in the areas of internationalization, democracy and even economic policy, all of which are needed for developing a harmonious society. This reality should not be ignored despite the current ideological conflict between China and Taiwan. Bearing this in mind, Sun's legacy should not be sacrificed. Instead of rewriting history, the government should urgently work to reinvigorate the nation's international competitiveness by shoring up the education system, enhancing general knowledge and promoting compassion for all. To offset the nation's rapid loss of international competitiveness resulting from the poor functioning of the executive and legislative branches, the Ministry of Education should focus on education and the need of the younger generation to develop a passion for diverse areas of knowledge, foreign languages, international affairs and morality. The dispute over whether to drop Sun from history texts is merely a reflection of political ignorance or personal bigotry and has no justification from an educational point of view.

  14. US Economy Weakens Remittances of Latin American Emigrants Mar. 21, 2008 (L‘Agence France-Presse，AFP法新社 ) The weakening US economy and dollar are already having direct impact on Latin America, where millions of people rely on remittances from relatives in the United States. According to a study released this month by the multilateral investment fund of the Inter-American Development Bank, Latin American emigrants sent some 66.5 billion dollars back home last year. Although that was seven percent higher than the previous year, it was the lowest rate in seven years. Mexico is the biggest recipient of the remittances to Latin America, accounting for more than a third of the total. But in 2007 the inflow of Mexico grew a meager one percent. The money being sent is a vital pillar of the economy, being the main source of foreign exchange after oil revenue and accounting for 2.8 percent of gross domestic product. Brazil, Latin America’s biggest economy, is also feeling the impact. Remittance fell four percent last year compared with 2006, to 7.1 billion dollars.
