①當(dāng)今社會(huì)是個(gè)看臉的時(shí)代,大多數(shù)人希望通過(guò)提升“顏值”來(lái)獲得更多的自信與機(jī)遇。然而顏值并不能決定一切。馬云,一個(gè)名列福布斯全球科技百富榜亞洲第一的男人,他并沒有很高的顏值。但他通過(guò)自己的努力,取得了如今的諸多成就。即使是在顏值時(shí)代,修心亦是很重要的。②一個(gè)沒有素質(zhì)的人,就算穿的多么華麗,一說(shuō)話一個(gè)舉動(dòng)就能暴露自己。一個(gè)非常有涵養(yǎng)的人,即使穿著樸素,和他相處也會(huì)覺得清風(fēng)拂面。
故鄉(xiāng)味道還證明著你口味的正宗。如果你對(duì)自己故鄉(xiāng)的食物有著清晰的記憶,那么在一個(gè)飯局上,尤其是和你的口味正好吻合的飯局上,你就有絕對(duì)的話語(yǔ)權(quán)。故鄉(xiāng)甚至關(guān)乎個(gè)人的尊嚴(yán)。在我看來(lái),沒有哪個(gè)地方的食物更好吃,但是一個(gè)故鄉(xiāng)感非常強(qiáng)烈的人,他能把故鄉(xiāng)的“口味正確”上升到信數(shù)的水準(zhǔn)。比如,哪個(gè)地方的辣椒最辣,這絕不是史高維爾指數(shù)能夠標(biāo)定的。羊肉更是這樣,甘肅、寧夏都聲稱自己擁有世界上最好的羊肉,新疆和內(nèi)蒙古更具體到南疆還是北疆、呼倫貝爾還是錫林郭勒。一個(gè)海南人過(guò)來(lái)插話,加積鴨、文昌雞、和樂(lè)蟹、東山一羊字還沒說(shuō)出來(lái),所有北方的網(wǎng)友不約而同地敲黑板:注意,我們?cè)谟懻撗蛉獾脑掝}。
“中國(guó)”一詞后來(lái)隨著所指對(duì)象不同而有不同的含義。大致說(shuō)來(lái),有以下六種概念:一是指京師(首都)。二是指天子直接統(tǒng)治的地區(qū),如諸葛亮對(duì)孫權(quán)說(shuō):“若能以吳越之眾與中國(guó)抗衡,不如早與之絕。”三是指中原地區(qū)。四是指國(guó)內(nèi)、內(nèi)地,如《史記·武帝本紀(jì)》:“天下名山八,而三在蠻夷,五在中國(guó)?!蔽迨侵钢T夏族居住的地區(qū)。六是指華夏或漢族建立的國(guó)家,《史記》《漢書》經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)這樣的稱謂。所以自漢代開始,人們常常把漢族建立的中原王朝稱為“中國(guó)”。
關(guān)于風(fēng)箏的起源有很多說(shuō)法,比如斗笠、樹葉說(shuō),認(rèn)為風(fēng)箏的出現(xiàn)受到被風(fēng)吹起的斗笠、樹葉的啟發(fā),還有帆船、帳篷說(shuō),飛鳥說(shuō)等。觀點(diǎn)雖不統(tǒng)一,但風(fēng)箏很早就出現(xiàn)在中國(guó)并無(wú)異議。《韓非子·外儲(chǔ)說(shuō)左上》中記載“墨子為木鳶,三年而成,飛一日而敗。弟子曰:‘先生之巧,至能使木鳶飛?!笨梢姶呵飸?zhàn)國(guó)時(shí)期已有風(fēng)箏,不過(guò)為木質(zhì)。隨著造紙術(shù)的發(fā)展,從唐朝開始,紙糊的風(fēng)箏逐漸興起。當(dāng)了宋代,放風(fēng)箏已經(jīng)成為當(dāng)時(shí)人們喜愛的戶外活動(dòng)。明清時(shí)期,風(fēng)箏的制作技藝、裝飾技藝得到空前發(fā)展。至清朝道光年間達(dá)到鼎盛。
2014年9月,國(guó)務(wù)院出臺(tái)了《關(guān)于深化考試招生制度改革的實(shí)施意見》,明確提出減少和規(guī)范考試加分為貫徹落實(shí)《實(shí)施意見》有關(guān)要求,2014年12月,教育部、國(guó)家民委、公安部、國(guó)家體有總局、中國(guó)科學(xué)技術(shù)協(xié)會(huì)等五部門聯(lián)合印發(fā)了《關(guān)于進(jìn)一步減少和規(guī)范高考加分項(xiàng)目和分值的意見》五部門《意見》明確,2015年1月1日起,取消6項(xiàng)全國(guó)性加分項(xiàng)目,對(duì)于仍保留相關(guān)學(xué)生加分資格的省份,加分分值不超過(guò)5分,同時(shí),《意見》還明確要求各地取消地方性體育、藝術(shù)、科技、三好學(xué)生、優(yōu)秀學(xué)生干部等加分項(xiàng)目,并進(jìn)一步大幅減少其他地方性高考加分項(xiàng)目,據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì),今年全國(guó)性加分項(xiàng)目已按要求全部調(diào)整到位,地方性加分項(xiàng)目將從2014年的95個(gè)逐年減少,到2018年僅剩35個(gè),減幅63%,各地普遍降低了地方性加分項(xiàng)目分值,縮小了適用范圍。
每個(gè)夜晚,廣闊的鄉(xiāng)村和農(nóng)業(yè)的原野,都變成了銀光閃閃的作坊,人世安歇,上蒼出場(chǎng),叮叮當(dāng)當(dāng),叮叮當(dāng)當(dāng),上蒼忙著制造一種透明的產(chǎn)品——露珠。按照各取所需的原則,分配給所有的人家,和所有的植物。高大的樹冠,細(xì)弱的草葉,謙卑的苔蘚,羞怯的嫩芽,都領(lǐng)到了屬于自己恰到好處的那一份。那總是令人憐惜的苦菜花瘦小的手上,也戴著華美的戒指;那像無(wú)人認(rèn)養(yǎng)的狗一樣總是被人調(diào)侃的狗尾巴草的脖頸上,也掛著嶄新的項(xiàng)鏈。
