Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been only a few decades ago. , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.
Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.
Signs of Nanjing’s wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, the father of modern China, looks over a busy area.
There is perhaps no more symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.
Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music in all sorts of places.
On a larger , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is 36 , but leaves out important information that should be 37 , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just 38 a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and 39 it for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, 40 ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred 41 , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big 42 !
He didn’t say anything that was 43 , but he deliberately left out some important 44 . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically 45 , but they are just as not 46 .
Untrustworthy candidates in 47 campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and 48 three million jobs. Then she 49 another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement 50 , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. 51 , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of 52 million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s 53 the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the 54 . An advertisement might boast (吹嘘), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It 55 to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of cheat happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

A little part of me thought about going to another checkout line.This one had the shortest ,there was only one guy in it,but he was in a and there seemed to be some difficulties .
We stepped in behind him.At first, he to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the counter.But after a while,I realized that what he was actually doing was it into two parts.
I offered to help,but he and the checkout lady had it under .He asked Julie if she would mind putting his basket away.Then he for his wallet which was in a bag on one side of his chair.The he was positioned and the fact he only had one usable arm this troublesome for him,so I helped there.
The checkout operator came around and gave him his and the goods he needed to have to hand.She one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair.
I offered to get the other bigger bag and he said,“No. you could do me a favor.Take that bag along to the entrance and give it to Angela."
Angela,it ,was collecting food for people who might go hungry! I hadn’t even her before.
This guy,in spite of the limitations,had bought more than twice as shopping as he needed—and given the bigger bag away to help people!
He didn’t let the fact that he needed help him from being a help.He may have been limited ,but his heart was more than able to overcome all that.

Even people who don’t have much talent for acting or singing still dream of being discovered by a talent scout (星探). It seems just like the lottery (彩票), but better you get both fame and money.

I was eating dinner with some friends. As I was getting ready to pay, a young Chinese woman came running up to me. I was that I must have done something horrible to offend(冒犯) her without it.
