Immediately beyond the village, Bapiao, a highway snakes deep into the rolling mountains until it reaches Jinghong, the capital city of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. When New China was founded in 1949, there were no more than 3,800 ethnic Kinos engaging in slash-and-bum farming for a meager subistence in those deep, subtropical lbrests. Now the Kino population has multiplied, and they have settled in 45 villages under the jurisdiction of a self-governing township.展开更多

Students with open memories also reported more trips to the doctor. 常读此类文章,我的辨证思维也会有所长进。比如,文中的这句写地何等好啊: But bringing closure to a past event does not necessarily mean that you have to be brutally honest with yourself.

Men who regularly stimulate their mate's oxytocin are rewarded with warmer feelings of affection.文章的末句,看似简单,其实不然。 For monogamous(一夫一妻的)relationships, however, the instructions are clear: get out the candles and romantic music. 读者朋友,如果你对句中的get out the candles and romantic music感到似懂非懂的话,请注意阅读下期的《难句会诊》。展开更多
