【名人名言】文化的喷泉

很多人说如今传承了上千年的文化正在慢慢消失，繁重的压力，速食的情感，紧紧包裹着人们的神经，我们只不过是一群跋涉在文化沙漠中的一群迷茫生灵，一种浸没在骨子里的质感正悄悄地从我们的躯体里脱离。曾记得老师说，毕业一年之后，谁能够坚持一年好好阅读十本书，一定记得回来通知我一声。曾经自诩酷爱读书的我，对这种说法不以为然。可如今，环顾四周，想学习的大有人在，只是号称没有时间的人更是层层叠叠，事情的真相如何，我相信每人心中都有一个清晰的答案。一幅唯美的画面在我心中经久不息：文化的喷泉泻出擎天水柱，漫散的水丝映射出七彩光芒，这可是文明的未来？

Joke of Today

There is a blond on the plane

    A blonde gets an opportunity to fly to a nearby country. She has never been on an airplane anywhere and was very excited and tense. As soon as she boarded the plane, a Boeing747, she started jumping in excitement, running over seat to seat and starts shouting, "BOEING! BOEING!! BOEING!!! BO....."
