After - school arrangements had already worn away my 20 . To keep myself awake at 11p.m. to finish five hours of 21 just seemed like too much to handle. I 22 at the computer screen with tears streaming down my cheeks, 23 my friend James about how stressed out I was over school.His response was immediate. “Well, 24 did you decide to take five AP classes on the top of everything youre doing?”My response 25 just as quickly. “Because I need them for college. Harvard wont 26 someone who doesnt challenge themselves with difficult classes!”The words sounded so 27 as I typed them on the screen that I 28 laughed out loud. I was supposed to be 29 myself not torturing(折磨) myself. That was the night I 30 that I didnt need to deal with a course load of disastrous difficulty to 31 my own self worth.It was a little too late to 32 things, of course.

No college, one billion dollar endowment (资助) or not, is worth the 35 I went through last year. I wish Id had someone to tell me sooner that I didnt have to do everything.

It was soon followed by other national exhibitions in continental Europe, and finally came to London where the first real international exhibition was held.Since their start in 1851, the character of world expositions has developed gradually. Three eras（年代）can be distinguished: the era of industrialization, the era of cultural exchange, and the era of nation branding.Industrialization (18511938)The first era could be called the era of industrialization and covered the period from 1851 to 1938. In these days, world expositions were especially focused on trade and famous for the display of technological inventions and advancements. World expositions were the platform where the state of the art in science and technology from around the world was brought together. Inventions such as the telephone were first presented during this era. An important part of the image of Worlds Fairs stems from this first era.Cultural exchange (19391991)The 1939 New York Worlds Fair and the 1949 Stockholm Worlds Fair were different from the original focus of the expositions. From then on, Worlds Fairs became more strongly based on a specific theme of cultural significance, and began to address issues of humankind. Technology and inventions remained important, but no longer as the principal subjects of the Fair. Cross-cultural dialogue and the exchange of solutions became defining elements of the expos. It was also during this time, specifically in the 1960s, that BIE organizers started calling Worlds Fairs “Expos”.Nation branding (1992present)From Expo88 in Brisbane onwards, countries started to use World Expositions more widely and more strongly as a platform to improve their national images through their pavilions(展馆). Finland, Japan, Canada, France and Spain are cases in point. A large study by Tjaco Walvis called “Expo 2000 Hanover in Numbers” showed that improving national images was the primary participation goal for 73% of the countries at Expo 2000. In a world where a strong national image is a key asset(财产), pavilions became advertising campaigns, and the Expo a channel for nation branding. As well as cultural and symbolic reasons, organizing countries (and the cities and regions hosting them) also use the world exposition to brand themselves.Future expositions2017 will see a recognized exposition. Bidding may begin as early as 2012 for this smaller-sized exposition. Already, Edmonton, Alberta and Canada have voted to go on with the second stage of putting together a bid for Edmonton EXPO 2017. 2020 will see a registered category of exposition. Bidding may begin as early as 2011 for this larger sized exposition. There are citizen efforts in American cities with the intention of bringing a Worlds Fair back to the United States.Paragraph OutlineSupporting Details The(1) of Worlds FairsThe idea of Worlds Fairs came from the French tradition.Later the tradition was replaced by the French Industrial Exposition of 1844 held in Paris.Industrialization(18511938)The world expositions were especially fixed on trade and known for the (2) of technological inventions.The world expositions cre
