Children of the Whirlwindby Leroy ScottCHAPTER IIt was an uninspiring bit of street: narrow, paved with cobble; hot and noisy in summer, reeking with unwholesome mud during the drizzling and snow-slimed months of winter. It looked anything this May after noon except a starting-place for drama. But, then, the great dramas of life often avoid the splendid estates and trappings with which conventional romance would equip them, and have their beginnings in unlikeliest environment; and thence sweep
跟庄技巧:认清熊头避风险 黄家坚 (02/23/2000)股市的脸说变就变,一会儿尚是人见人爱的牛哥,一会儿却变成人见人怕的黑熊,投资者在火热的气氛中尤其需保持冷静的头脑,提前掌握头部的特征,一旦熊头露脸之际可及时加以防范。一般来说,根据以下几个方面可确认股指(或股价正在构筑头部):1、天量天价。“天量”标准在每次行情都会有所不同,一般来说,随着市场规模的扩大、流通市值的增大,天量的标准亦在不断增大。天量出现时我们往往认为新的天量仍会出现,导致错失卖出时机。投资者在无法确认是否是天量时,可在成交创出新高时提前出局。一旦成交创出新高,若后续成交未能继续放大,天价往往在其后的数天内(有时是同一天)出现。在5.19行情中,6月25日创出...

Ernest HemingwayIt was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference. The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would

第1节:噩梦(1) 你以为那些在大街上行走或闲逛的人,一个个都是大活人吗?实话告诉你吧,有的是,有的不是!他们中有些人其实多年前已经死去,但他们还可以像正常人那样生活,吃喝拉撒、嬉闹、吵架骂街、遛狗玩鸟…… 你有没有看到晚报上小经常刊登的那些寻人启事?其实绝大多数人很多年前已经死了,只不过他们并没有马上从亲人朋友的视野中消失,而是变成了"活死人",继续在人世间生活。直到某一天,他们埋藏在心中的那个愿望实现才会突然消失。而他们不知情的家人还以为他们走失了…… 闭上眼睛想一想,是否有人对你恨之入骨?千万不要以为你做的那件缺德事儿没有谁知道……终有一天,那个人会变成厉鬼前来,将白色剔透的利牙插入你的脖颈……一个复仇鬼魂,在被镇压多年后,当咒符被无意中揭开,她就复活了。仇怨点燃了一个又一个复仇的鬼魂 ,看石佛镇如何一点点变成一座死亡的空镇……...
三十一日下午,北京大学校开会欢迎先生。先期在讲堂遍悬国旗,校长教员学生成集。先生莅会后,由马校长述欢迎辞,略谓戊戌新政所留存于今日者,惟一大学校,先生实与此校有关系,今请赐训词于诸生云云。先生演词如下:鄙人今日承本国最高学府北京大学校之欢迎,无任荣幸。适马校长所言鄙人与大学校之关系一节,当年诚有其事。今请略述一二,以告诸君。时在乙未之岁,鄙人与诸先辈,感国事之危殆,非兴学不足以救亡,乃共谋设立学校,以输入欧美之学术于国中。惟当时社会嫉新学如仇,一言办学,即视同叛逆,迫害无所不至。是以诸先辈不能公然设立正式之学校,而组织一强学会,备置图书仪器,邀人来观,冀输入世界之智识于我国民,且于讲学之外,谋政治之改革。盖强学会之性质,实兼学校与政党而一之焉。在今日固视为幼稚之团体,然在当时风气未开之际,有闻强学会之名者,莫不惊骇而疑有非常之举。此幼稚之强学会,遂能战胜数千年旧...
