Confused about the big difference between sneakers and trainers?

Also with Adidas, Stella McCartney has been designing sneakers, trainers and other gym wear for women since 2005.Founded in Shanghai in the 1 920s, the nostalgic martial arts-suitable shoe brand Feiyue flew across Chinese borders in 2006 (its name, indeed, means flying forward”) and landed in France.

It is one of the five canonical classics compiled by Confucius which have been studied by literati in China and neighboring countries for over 2,000 years. Confucius said the Book of Songs in the An lects was a realization of genuine feelings . And much like most of Chinese poetry, it conveys these authentic emotions through imagery, most frequently via animals and plants.This June, the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, an agenc known for its quality publications on traditional Chinese culture, released a two-volume book called lflustrations of Wildlife in the Book of Songs, providing a new way to appreciate the literary classics.Texts and illustrations are placed side-by-side, enabling readers to imagine the poetic scenarios and comprehend the cultural meaning of many everyday subjects. To create a friendlier reading experience, the book combines original poems with modern translations by Cheng Junying, a renowned expert on the Book of Songs and a first generation female professor in China.The 213 watercolor illustrations within the book are recovered from manuscripts in the National Diet Library of Japan. Jun Hosoi, a physician who practiced Confucianism in Japan during the Edo period, was the creator of these exquisite paintings. He worked with artisans to produce this first illustrated book of the Book of Songs. The official announcement from the Shanghai Ancient Books caused quite a stir among culture lovers.”Seeing the illustrations while reading the poems makes the whole experience like timetraveling,“ Lishang Tumi, a Weibo user, said. 气 can feel myself walking through the scenes written thousands of years ago.“ The book will hit the shelves in mid-August, before which readers can place orders on Yitiao, a new media lifestyle company.46.

Shi Jing and ConfuciusPassage EWhereas a literacy event is defined as any interaction between readers and written texts within a social context, a genre is a socially sanctioned type of communicative event, either spoken- like a sermon, a joke, a lecture -or printed, like a press report, a novel, or a political manifesto. Although sometimes viewed as a universal type, fixed by literary and other conventions, a genre in a socio-cultural perspective is always dependent on being perceived as such within a specific context of situation or culture.The concept of genre is related to text type and language choice: it is as measured against a prototypical sermon in their culture, for example, that members of a group can assess to what extent the register chosen by a certain preacher conforms to or deviates from the genresermon', even if it is not delivered in a church.What turns a collection of communicative events into a genre is some conventionalized set of communicative purposes. For example, one convention of scientific research papers is that they inform researchers of scientists' findings as clearly, convincingly as possible, and in a manner that furthers future research. However, not every scientific community shares the same views as to how these goals should be achieved. There are striking differences, for example, between theFrench and the Anglo-Saxon genre research paper. Anglo-Saxon scientists have to legitimizetheir research by displaying in the first paragraph all extant research on the same topic and showing how their own fills a neglected gap. By contrast, French scientific articles draw their legitimation from the status and affiliation of the researcher, and his/her own work in the field; French scientists find the initial review of the literature rather futile. Unlike their French counterparts, Anglo-Saxon scientists have to make explicit their adherence to a recognizable school,disciplinary tradition, or theoretical orientation; French scientists prefer their research to stand on its own merits. Whereas American research articles end with the obligatory discussion of 飞 he iimitations of the study“, French articies do no such thing; instead, they are obiigated to raise larger questions, and point to directions for further areas of study. These two different styles within two scientific communities that otherwise share the same purpose may create difficulties for some French scientists, who may be willing to publish in English but wish to retain their own cultural scientific style.It is easy to see why genre plays such a central role in the definition of culture. One can learn a lot about a discourse communitys culture by looking at the names it gives to genres, for所有答案请写在答题纸上 , 写在本试卷上的无效 第 8 页 ( 共 12 页)genre is societys way of defining and controll ing meaning. In fact, the very definition of a text type as a separate genre, or a stylistic variation of the same genre, is a matter of passionate disputes, and not only among scholars. For, the concept of text type establishes constraints on what one is expected to write about, in what form, for what audience.51. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned in the passage? A.
