Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that “seeing the calligraphers handwriting is like seeing the person”. As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the worlds treasure house of culture and art.In recent years, with the development of Internet technology, we have made great achievements in the construction of digital education resources in our country. Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms, and digital teaching is playing an increasingly important role in education. Compared with the traditional way of teaching, the digital way has a lot of advantages. On one hand, digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible; on the other hand, it expands the learners study time and space to learn, allowing people to get access to the digital virtual schools through the Internet anytime and anywhere.These advantages make it possible for people to shift from one-time learning to lifelong learning.Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese society. Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a persons integrity, family harmony, and the nations well-being. With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics, it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years. Its undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue. The culture of filial piety is a complex concept, rich in content and wide in range. It includes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes. Generally speaking, it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth. Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient “Oriental civilization”.July 7th on the Chinese lunar calendar is Chinese Qixi Festival, the most romantic of all the traditional Chinese holidays. Every year, some big businesses organize various activities, and young people send gifts to their lovers. As a result, the Qixi Festival is considered to be Chinese “Valentines Day”. The Qixi Festival is derived from the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid. The legend holds that on this particular night every year the Weaving Maid in heaven meets with Cowherd. So, people can see Cowherd and Weaving Maid meeting in the Milky Way on the night of Qixi. On this night, girls would also beg Weaving Maid for some wisdom for a happy marriage. But, with the changing of times, these activities are diminishing. All that remains is the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid, a sign of faithful love, continuously circulated among the folk.The Silk Road is a traffic route in the ancient times connecting China and Eurasia. This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name “the Silk Road”. As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road). The strategy of “One Belt, One Road” focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.

They only teach a littlegrammar and less advanced vocabulary. Andthe younger teachers themselves have littleknowledge of the vital structures of language.4 Because teaching grammar is not an easy joband most of the students will easily get bored ifits not properly dealt with.5 He familiarized his son with different parts ofspeech in a sentence and discussed their specificgrammatical functions including how to useadverbs to describe verbs.6 Because the son had never heard about thevarious names and functions of words in anEnglish sentence before.7 The author uses “road map” and “car” todescribe grammar and vocabulary. Here, “roadmap” is considered as grammar and “car” asvocabulary.8 Since the subjunctive mood his son used isa fairly advanced grammar structure, theinterjection “whoa!” reflects the tremendouspride the father had toward his son; it alsoreflects the authors humor in using the wordbecause it was once used by his student, thoughin two different situations and with two differentfeelings.Critical thinking1 Motivation. Family support. Peer pressure. Financial status. Future career goals.2 English grammar helps a lot in the following: Order sentences correctly. Use words properly.

My assumption is sinceI have never learned Chinese grammar, whats thesense of learning English grammar? In fact, Englishgrammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because,unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Evenstranger than verb tenses, English grammar alsocontains something very confusing. For example, Idont remember how many times my middle schoolteacher tried to “impose” the differences betweenused to and be used to on us. Sometimes he wouldgo on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so.He even summarized the differences by listing threeor four points for us to memorize. However, theycould never stay in my head. I dont rememberhow many times I got it wrong with the sentencescontaining used to or be used to on my exams. Iwas really confused with these two phrases, and Ican never get them right.In brief, Im allergic to learning English grammar.Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers ofEnglish have a microcomputer in their brain to helpthem utter the two phrases promptly with just aclick of their brain mouse!Translation人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言，经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。与其他语言一样，英语也发生了很大的变化。英语的历史可以分为三个主要阶段：古英语，中古英语和现代英语。英语起源于公元5世纪，当时三个日耳曼部落入侵英国，他们对英语语言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世纪和现代社会初期，英语的影响遍及不列颠群岛。从17世纪初，它的影响力开始在世界各地显现。欧洲几百年的探险和殖民过程导致了英语的重大变化。今天，由于美国电影、电视、音乐、贸易和技术、包括互联网的大受欢迎，美国英语的影响力尤其显著。10Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and theunique art treasure in the world.

Reading extensively in history classes helpedthe speaker write better.3 Learned how to communicate with myteachers and classmates. Improved my critical thinking and analyticalskills. Boosted my confidence in dealing withdifficulties and challenges.Scripts:My high school education was very much likeattending a liberal arts college. We studiedmodern European history as well as Asian andLatin American history. Learning history gave meviewpoints on more cultural background. Moreimportantly, history class was where we reallylearned how to write a good essay. We were alsorequired to learn a foreign language, and I choseSpanish. Trying to speak Spanish helped me becomea more competent communicator. In addition, welearned how to get meaning from texts. We wereassigned many books, and we were taught strategieson how to look for meaning without going overevery single word. We were also given red pens andour own compositions to evaluate our own writingcritically. I think the most important skills I learnedin high school were not the facts or formulas Imemorized, but the communication skills I learned.Reading comprehensionUnderstanding the text1 Because English or history majors are consideredless competitive when the job market isshrinking, and they have to study something thatcan help them more easily locate their futurejobs.2 Because as the tuition is climbing higher andhigher, many students have run away fromstudying the humanities and toward “hard”skills that they think will lead to employment.3 Since more students are now taking job-orientedcourses, libraries, where students of liberal artsused to study, are getting less popular thanbefore; in contrast, labs are getting more eyecatchingbecause students of science andengineering do experiments and research there.4 Because this inner drive that can be eitherconstructive or destructive is so mysterious andpowerful that it has attracted many people tospeculate on it. From ancient times, these menand women developed artistic “languages”in the form of story, music, myth, painting,architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions,which form the very foundation of civilization.5 Studying the humanities improves your abilityto read and write, makes you familiar with thelanguage of emotion and the creative process,and, more importantly, provides you with a widescope of possibilities that are open to you.6 Because in modern life, an ideal capacity forestablishing ones career is to have both technicalknowledge and inner insight, not just onewithout the other.7 “Well-rounded human beings” are those whoh
