In second year, he and major issue are expanded, expands other 50 log cabins, there are three rooms in every log cabin. He hires out the residents who give the nearby city on these houses now, as the summer home, the rental is 150 dollars every quarter.
The construction material in these log cabins needn't cost him one mao at all, because the timber grows at his land ' But that institute president thinks this land is valueless at all) .
In addition, the best advertisement planned in enlargement that these log cabins of unique appearance just becomes him. If common people build the house with so primitive a material, will be probably considered to be lunatics.
The story has not been over yet, here from these log cabin of places of less than five kilometers, this person buys and takes up an area of an old and farms neglected of 10 hectares again, 25 dollars of price for each mu, but the seller believes this price is the highest.
This person will build a dam 100 meters long at once, will introduce the flowing water of a brook a lake which takes up an area of 1 hectare, put a lot of fish in a suitable place to breed in the lake, then sell this farm to those persons who wants to go to summer resort on the lakeside at the price built the room. Simple passing on, made him earn into 50,000 dollars of 2a± together, and only spent the time in one summer like this.
This piece farsighted imagining people of strength, but too regular " educate " .
And let us keep this fact firmly in mind: So long as can use various knowledge, can become educated and have power immediately.
While mentioning that section of stories that the aspect narrates, that sells " have no value " of 3.333 hectares at 500 dollars The institute president of the land says: "Thinking about it, perhaps us most people will think that person has no knowledge, but he mix ignorance and 3.333 hectares of wasteland of his annual incomes obtained after together, but exceed me by the so-called education way gross incomes of five years earned far. "

Overall qualities " The standard formula " (2)
The extracurricular activities are here " Other quality " In play a very great role,count as shoulder by mark, 35 or more than the this item one difference. What merits attention is work to have remuneration regard as in social activities this one too, the students of 20- 30 hours can get 22 points to work every week.
This one of ethnic pluralism, foreign students (such as Chinese students) Can add 5, but relatively suffer a loss in American Asian descendant students, deduct 3 fen upside down instead. Perhaps because Asian descendant students have generally very good academic credits, in order to reflect " the pluralism " And receive the collective " Punish " . However, girls can add to enter for the technical college by 3 fen, because industry science lacks the girl.
Participate in different sport activity permitted a large number of in school plus divide, its range is 8- 40 fen, it is the leading player of the school and much energy of investing, can get 13 points, the best athletes such as Olympic athletes of high school of the whole America, can add by 40 fen.
Finally " Go beyond the normal condition " One, has taken for 40 fen, but must " go beyond the normal condition " very positively ,For example, obtained Intel scientific match Grand Prix, served as the protagonist of a hot film or serial TV plays. In addition, parents are big celebrities, donate huge sum of money to belong to this to the university.
Except the above " Overall qualities " Outside, in the bracket of the formula, the students who is called the roll by the sports coach can be considered to be individual " quality " OK, " live in the distant place " Will be thought to possess higher " quality " too such as the students beyond 800 kilometers And add and divide.
Other two items, " factors of parents " With the composition for students of the school " The pluralism " And fen added, all can depend on student's personal efforts by reaching.
Can find out from the above, preceding 6 items of " study quality " Divide into by 72 points,a following totals of best result for 84 points. Therefore, no matter " study quality " How outstanding, but also no matter " other quality " How terrible, can't get very high mark, the highest " overall qualities " It is necessary " Study quality " Sum is multiple " Other quality " Combine together all right get.
The above-mentioned indexes reflect the individual's special consideration to students in the American university enroll new students, though is unable to understand and accept for all people, however, they exist in practice of enrolling new students of American university extensively at present, Chinese immigrant used to student to judge by achievement high or low prices must change the idea in the family, even the method of evaluation in the above does not express and agree to, have to accept. Because it whether American university enroll new students not current after all" The game rule " .
I saw originally that there were persons who works 20- 30 hours of firewood every week, could get 22 points, compared with 99 points full marks, very at the heavy proportion, feel shocked also, because the whole grade the first place and grade student rank, lack of 4 only. Look really unreasonable at first glance, is not students' main task to study? Want all such a, everybody has gone must not work as a temporary labourer, what book is read? But think, leave school, go, work as a temporary labourer, can sit, come down, study, write the homework will it be 10 o'clock evening every day conscientiously, are not proving it has greater potentiality and fine overall qualities? It is an important lesson letting children come into the society, experience life to work as a temporary labourer ahead of time, can test ability that students bear realistic social pressure and endurance of bearing overloading. Still can read the book well, explain students and have very great potentiality in such aspects as physical power, energy, intelligence while insisting on working for a long time, what is not this whole quality but?
So, might as well calculate this formula, you can find, " improve " Quality may have a very simple method too. You will even find, one's own destiny grasps in one's own hands.
Everybody to what quality in the past, what have objection quality-oriented education. Perhaps we can receive certain inspiration from here. Not merely here " The focal point " High school student of study have high-quality, not in " focal point " Gao Zhong, but students who take a lot of most difficult courses have very high quality; Good at " taking an entrance examination " ,School grade come out at the top, have an examination, can obtain high score, possess high-quality too, because " take an entrance examination " It is a kind of quality too. In addition, are good at expressing the thought in written form accurately, can obtain the teacher's energetical recommendation, it is the behavior of the outstanding quality; Takes a large number of time and energy to participate in social activities, extracurricular activities, even work as a temporary labourer, it is the behavior of the outstanding quality too; The borderland students of a few clan, because of the culture background and reason of the family, need higher quality, could finish other student's same study, work; Takes a large number of time to participate in the sport activity, become outstanding athletes, should be thought to possess extremely outstanding quality too naturally.
The child not good of achievement needn't be pessimistic, the school grade is not good, may have very high overall qualities too. The sports activity is outstanding, can work as a temporary labourer, articulate, can write and can draw, possess quite high quality.
This formula has expressed the fair idea of benefiting, talents and the quality are not single type, everybody can give play to one's own specialty, can be thought to reach outstanding " outstanding quality " . Some respect is insufficient, good at, can compensate, balanced with other forms and content.
Analyze, we can know U.S.A. educate what does it settle on from the assessment law, talents what kind of overall qualities are possessed may be thought " Outstanding" , " high-quality " . Whether no matter life is at home or foreign Chinese, no matter parents or student, child and parents that go abroad to study intentionally especially, can while the child grow up, carry on assessment, carry on essential adjustment to different fields, make with various specialty and characteristic child can become overall qualities high talent constantly.
However, the ones that should point out are, possess higher " overall qualities " Student though can enter by university good,might not have can have realized there aren't particular personned. For example, " study quality " Non- high, but because of " other quality " Relatively high, make whole " overall qualities " The students improving, if is still unable to improve " study quality " during university ,It is difficult to enter correctly after graduation from university " Study quality " The medical college expected much, law school, it is difficult to enter science and engineering and business school to pursue the master degree too, though they are outstanding " Overall qualities " Can make them enter ideal university, but might unable to realize high layer of set life goals.

Section 14 Scarecrow (1) crying
Dreamland is that the spirit, to the hint of the real world, I am the people of many dreams, therefore it can be in the dream what date what I hope for most now is, see that winds my murder a long time tiredly that. Experience on certainly will field painful in piece that, but I mind marsh that know drive on to it boldly persistent. The strength in since dark and dark arranges for the forest swallow to come into my life again, so, I am obligated to clarify whether this is a certain sign that Heaven gives to me.
I strides forward the corridor hastily this at dusk on day, catch up with a department and shut half the lifts. Stretch out a fine and beautiful hand and block the lift door in the lift for me, I step into the lift to say that thanks, this just finds that only a woman who I am familiar with stands in the lift - -Lin Yan.
Lin Yan gives a winsome smile towards me, then the cheek is still a bit bright red in the twinkling of an eye. I am speaking haltingly in the throat, wonder what to say. Lin Yan some are arrested and urged, sight vacillates for a moment everywhere, still fall on my body finally.
"The thing of the the night, must really thank you. " She says.
"Pleasure, must do it in that way in the night after changing someone. " I answer conscientiously.
Yan Lin smile again, she and night the crazy melancholy woman already sentence to if two people. I like present Lin Yan, she is like beautiful women normally, full of swinging a kind of evil spirit's puzzled breath on one's body. What furthermore let me rest assured is, I confirm now she does not really know me.
In the lift this day, we described each other, I hesitated when saying one's own name, but did not lie at last. I have a kind of expectation at this time, perhaps she can remember what it is from my name, but any difference did not emerge at that time in her look.
The lift has reached the 12th floor, she says goodbye to me, still turns round towards me to smile again after going out.
I am in a trance, do not think the thing that happened just now is a bit very true. It is she that suffer from, lose memory disease too like me on earth, from the beginning, having deceived me in my feeling, she is not that woman in my memory at all.
Get back to the room, I am too impatient to turn on the computer, stare at the woman inside.
Began to be busy with alive ceaselessly if Lin Yan seemed very happy tonight, she changed one suit of sexy nightdresses. After she finishes making sitting room, begin to tidy up the bedroom meticulously. Those several striking big characters have already disappeared and disappeared on wall on the bedside, I guess that will certainly pass the treatment of the emulsion paint on her wall of the room, the lipstick can be wiped very easily while leaving the seal on.
Lin Yan has gushed out some perfume in the room, through the screen, I seem to smell that kind of delicate fragrance.
Lin Yan is debugging the wall lamp in the bedside, that kind of dark yellow color is full of ambiguous breath.
What I have realized, it is a bit absent-minded to sit there.
Time the past first more than hour, I see forest swallow appear into the sitting room. She has obviously heard what sound it is, when opens the door, I have seen that man dandified in appearance again.
All contents of lover's secret meeting of lovers are involved in sexual love, after transient embrace, two people came into the bedroom shaking hands. I try to be the first to turn off the computer screen before that man and forest swallow lie on the bed, then think one's own tricks are all a bit light and quiver.
I blood collide up, breathe rapid, some angry strength 4 travel around place move in health.
My head begins to ache again. Old trouble, the blood vessel has a headache, unable to effect a radical cure, can only rely on some medicines to ease pain. This is what which a doctor said to me. I do not want to rely on the medicine, then is the same thing as actually taking drug, so, I must try hard to let oneself keep the calm psychology, there can be a bit less so troublesome number of times.
But I am unable to be calm today. I want to turn on the computer, I want to see Lin Yan with what that man is doing at this moment. However, I dare not, perhaps those pictures will let my head so painful as to split open.
Then think some other things disperse energy.
I went back to the home once at I remembered for dusk of today, I sat down in the spacious house for half an hour, just remember the purpose that I go home. I want to take a thing, it lies in the drawer in my study quietly. If I do not say, you will certainly guess what that is - -Scarecrow.
Yes, I have hidden a scarecrow in my study drawer, but not that kind that you saw in the field of the countryside. My scarecrow is only as big as hand, so long as I use two fingers, can pinch a leg of it, let it face with me. Sometimes what I want to say to it, but my age does not allow me to uncover the heartfelt wishes like a child, so, when being more, we keep silent each other.
At this time, I will think of those night when the moon is bright and the stars are few.s, the scene that I speak with another scarecrow in the wheat field. The peasant has made a fiendish face for the scarecrow, but I make a pair of kind and gentle masks for him with the cardboard. Those birds flying over the wheat field at night will regard scarecrow open arms as the branch, they perch above, needn't fear anything again.
I was once a lonely child, the scarecrow was my only friend.
No doubt, I growing up have still kept that one of my childhood lonely. A happy one of mine is at this moment, many years later, there is such a scarecrow in my life. When we are reticent each other, in fact we are pouring out each other too, don't think the language is the only means to exchange.
My scarecrow has a black in a group of people or things hair, if look under the sunshine over carefully, you will find that is some traces scorched. Quite right, I rescued my scarecrow from the fire blazing that year. Just because of that fire too, let me strengthen the resolution far away from my hometown, taking an oath will forget it.
I have said dreamland is that the spirit, to the hint of the real world, in my numerous dreamland, number of times that that fire appears is most - -That is a wheat stalk that a peasant is burning them.
The happiness having a bumper harvest jumps in autumn, those heavy ears of wheat are all happy contents. The hard work of one year was reciprocated at last, the golden yellow wheat are piled in the granary of every home, though they can really change the peasant's life, can let people eat the sweet-smelling steamed bun during following several months at least, can also change some special purchases for the New Year before celebrating the New Year, let New Year must have a little flavour.
The wheat stalk in bundles looks like the rifle that Eighth Route Army set up alternately in the field, they will turn into a pile of fires after dusk. The peasant regards turning into the wheat stalk of the ashes as the fertilizer, can be regarded as and reciprocate the land to the human favor.

The 3rd of January. Wei He ask annual leave, get up early, go big boss connect major part first, send him to after the airport, transfer to the hotels of Yan again, accompany her mother and daughter to have lunch first, later and then sent them to the airport.
Wei He reach hotel, Yan do check-out well already, handle luggage deposit gatekeeper. Because Yan mother have pieces of meeting want, turn on in Beijing this morning, so they bring little baby dare, have a meal outside either, just order the simple sandwich to eat in the coffee shop of hotels.
After sandwich come, Yan vacate, hold to all alone, hold what Wei say light Vicky: "I phoned him at yesterday! Have said for more than two hours on the phone. He goes to the school to ask for leave today, plan to book and have tickets to come back these two days, tranfer to Baotou and us to join from Beijing directly, then accompany me to go back to Guangzhou and see Papa and Mama again. "
"Ah! Excellent! Really excellent! Yan, I am true and glad for you! " He Wei should nearly shed the happy tears.
"I know! Wei Wei, I am very glad too, however, get your friendship again, make we two gladder! "
"Eh! That's great, I estimate after you come back from Guangzhou, Yang Qing should already get back to Beijing too, we will gather and gather well then! Eh! But you and Yang Qing are in pairs, all right, belong to little Vicky me, let's mate with me! "

6 of 16
Give Yan mother and daughter on the way home, what Wei fill the complicated state of mind in the heart from airport, she expects several good friends to nowadays each go straight towards the things: Yan and side shake to go back to New York; Have gone to remote Shenzhen in major part; Yang Qing has a husband and baby that will come one day in the future; And let unbearable Liu KaiZhong go to the general headquarters of London to assume one's new post soon, there was not a connection from then on.
Time of afternoon, the rate of traffic flow is rare at the high speed of the airport, what Wei drives the car very slowly painstakingly, fall back, among the dusky bleak scene, let excited mood calm down slowly still winter gradually in both sides. After the car transfers to and enters Fourth Ring Road, she did not want to go home at once, so reached Beihai Park to the west, want to put oneself passing happiness and sadness that goes through on the frozen lakeside of North Sea these years in order attentively.
As to the thing that side shake and Yan, Wei He know oneself to feel relieved totally already. First, seven, time for eight year it polishes to be once deep scar; Second, the growth which goes through years, she has already known how to do the best choice between friendship and love, know how, force earnestly constantly, oneself and other people demand to sink cost that sank. So, the sea and sky are boundless that she chooses to return one step, choose letting and clear up Huailai and save oneself, save her friends of the true love all the time too.
Among model Liu, Wei He clear oneself to fall in love with he without hesitation already. She sit, in front of window, look at district faint yellow street lamp, attempt, put in order, offer why give up reason to join party still in the last minute oneself will it be night the day before yesterday. She know to not be in the mood for fault no an excuse little Li; The ambiguous entanglement of the willow swallow is unimportant, prevent the reason why she further goes ahead, she to love pure beautiful yearning to have flaw, in oneself and a lot of case of reading after being feeling bitter story she, do not belittle oneself still more, expect oneself to pursue the pure but absolute emotion even more. So, perhaps she will lose, but believe so long as the heart stores the compliments, she is sure to receive care of the Heaven with kind kindness finally.
Sit on the frozen lakeside of North Sea, He Wei sees several children in clothes of heavy winter protection learning to skate under the support of adult. Have pieces of person who is wrap up in round drum all over, it seems to be just two, three year old of brave small boys, having shaken off father's big hands, dilapidated slipping forward, can just only take two steps to fall backwards with hands and legs in the air, but he refuse to support with one's hand father, dash forward, put on one side, stand burnt heart shout mother in lakeside totally not doing all one can. He Wei sees so as to smile out the tears, remembers an western sage for a passage of the descendant's too:
"If you love somebody deeply, please make him free. If freedom, he still chooses, then he is yours forever; If is free, he does not choose, then he is not always yours! "
Yes, yes, she really loves Liu KaiZhong deeply, really hopes to have him too, but she chooses to make him free, let him make decision without interruption. If he chooses one day, she will launch both arms to meet joyfully; But if he still chooses to leave away finally, she will be proud of oneself, because she has gained the respect to oneself.
It has been dark gradually, the wind in the lake surface is colder and colder, what Wei stands up and plans to leave away, it discover unexpectedly it is the calm on heart if water, have hang trouble. She hopes to the blue lake surface of dust moreover later, the setting sun in winter is disappearing on the horizon slowly at this moment, the little brave boy is extremely tired too to sleep soundly in father's chest, she really wanted to go home quickly suddenly, want to come back to parents' side at once; Want to go back and see and look at her like the own teacher of primary school that produces; Want to recall the anecdote of beardless childhood with younger brother; Want to wait for and shake and stare and disobey the parties of eight years with Yang Qing, Yan, side; Want to live again and drink a cup to one's heart content alone for one's own broken callus even more too.
Yes, perhaps she has lost love, the friend seems to be dispersed too, but she knows, good friends combine and has not gone far, but that beautiful happiness will come at last.

There is beauty different from night in early morning's Kuerle. The quiet sky is spotlessly bright blue, the spacious street is clean, in perfect order, on even villager walking on the road being so cordial and courteous. He Wei and Liu KaiZhong do not plan to speak, just walk, deeply breathe, enjoy the natural fairy air not had in the big city, and the emotion of moving ahead in the quiet and strange air together.
Until the fact that two people turn over downhill path street corner on the way of getting back to hotels, see several colleague call they enter, have breakfast in front of gate already.

Everybody gets up early today, because must rush for the stockaded village of of Rob in Weili after having a meal. On the way, the driver who drives small mini bus serves as the guide, introduces the local conditions and customs and scenery of both sides excellent in voice and affectionly, listen to a group traveling together forget a sober one has been still drank after a night at all yet last night nearly.
By lying Takla Makan Desert Rob people stockaded village,wear flow from it Tarim Basin river but, the bank of the river is a large stretch of Hu YangLin, forms the desert oasis, the scenery is so American as to let people hold one's breath. Hu Yang is praised as the hero in the desert, there is dogged vitality. According to driver, the moustache poplar grows in 1,000, dies in 1,000, immortal to take 1,000 years too. Hu Yang in October of early autumn, leaves have already been totally become yellow light greenly, under the setting off of azure sky, wisps of is bright and yellow and very magnificent.
Xiao Li and another young guy is hurry getting busy about and riding relevant procedures of camel for everybody once getting off, two more than ten minutes later, a group of 11 has already endangered and ridden the camel with tall and big stature and walked on the sand quiverly and quiverly. What Wei is tall, it is not difficult to ride the camel, she just with very thin stature, always think center will be fallen and gone to the fields unstably soon, in addition, Xiao Li following behind is excited all the way in a shrill voice to shout strangely, make her nervous endlessly, the knuckle which is keeping a firm hand on the hands of the halter has all whitened bluely and greenly.
In the evening, they stay in the stockaded village. The constellation masters of the people who receive them are very hospitable, itching to bring all things that can be eaten up to the desk. It may be a cause that was drunk too much last night, everybody drank this dinner more implicitly, a bit children are not left like desk deep bid big vegetable rice of bowl look like the wind blows the scattered clouds away.
After a meal, He Wei is waiting to go back to the room, but Liu KaiZhong comes over and asked in front of everybody generously: "Is there strength to go out for a walk with me? Take a walk with you in the morning, it is really a kind of enjoyment. "
"Certainly have, come here to eat manily, have a good sleep, it is so good to combine with the air, why is willing to to stay in the room! Wait a moment for me! I go to take garments. " Under the watchful eyes of the people, He Wei responds in good taste too. Through baptism of desert, already belong to city restrained to pose, put aside temporarily she.
With these words, He Wei has gone back to the room to take a shallow and rose short fund windbreak at once, get back to hall, other people disappear without a trace already, have left model Liu one people,etc. step into black a night of the room shoulder to shoulder in gate and her only.
5 of 7
Night in stockaded village such as people such as Rob, quiet, so beautiful as to take the heart soul. The river of Tarim Basin at a distance makes the glistening light of waves in the pitch-dark moonlight clearly, like a long silvery ribbon, pave it in the quiet desert mildly and indirectly softly.
Wei He put on windbreak, change pair thick with small sheepskin short shoes, it walks to be but just now shoulder to reach him only by the body among model Liu. Liu KaiZhong has worn a windbreak too, only the British cottar likes that kind of rain-proof oilskin surface fabric worn, let him look more rough than in the office and more big and tallly.
Because other people have already gone far, have only had them two left on the wide stone road at this moment. Different from the shyness of the sunshine in early morning, during a star-studded sky, night when a great stillness has fallen upon everything, He Wei thought suddenly the window as unlimited as one side in the heart is calm and transparent. She has remembered the parents in hometown; Have remembered the younger brother working in Shanghai; Remember Yang fine; Even and then shaking and Yan remember too.
Under the moonlight, two people go ahead slowly, when she still immerses in the remote reverie, Liu KaiZhong by the body spoke suddenly:
"I go to Britain to study alone at an early age, there are no Chinese in the school, in fact have a Asian of mine only too, will not say English very much also at that time, suffered a lot, learnt to protect oneself too, so I will not express one's own feeling very much sometimes. "
"Right? I think you have very capable logic, is good at grasping the focal point, is it very convincing too to speak? " He Wei has been given a start by his burst of honesty, answers very sincerely.
"That is only rational training, I shrink back very much on the emotion. " While saying this words, Liu KaiZhong stops the step, is nearly staring at her.
Hint that He Wei is seen so as to neither know know for the moment how will respond him appropriately why answer, nor by him, have to nod in the place gently, plan to continue going ahead with one's head low.
