stopped ticking a decade ago Why Because I don t need one I have a mobile phone and I m always near someone with an iPod or something like that All these devices 装置 tell the time which is why if you look around you ll see lots of empty wrists sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007 But while the wise have realized that they don t need them others apparently including some distinguished men of our time are spending total fortunes on them Brands such as Rolex Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices up to 250 000 for a piece This is ridiculous Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches Expensive watches come with extra functions but who needs them How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole So why pay that much of five years school fees for watches that allow you to do these things If justice were done the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five pound note Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch with the aid of millions of pounds worth of advertising as a message about the man wearing it Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world Watches are now classified as investments 投资 A 1994 Patek Philippe recently sold for nearly 350 000 while 1960s Rolexes have gone from 15 000 to 30 000 plus in a year But a watch is not an investment It s a toy for self satisfaction a matter of fashion Prices may keep going up they ve been rising for 15 years But when fashion moves on the owner of that 350 000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Timex 2 语篇解读 本文从小时候父亲买的那块表说起 简单说明了 表 曾经辉煌的历史

performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe I asked Isaac Stern one of the world s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon It is very clear he told me They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill treated in that part of the world They were 6 not allowed into the professional fields but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage As a result every Jewish parent s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West Another element in the emergence of prodigies I found is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture 培育 talent Nowadays the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East In Japan a most competitive society with stronger discipline than ours says Isaac Stern children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields including music When Western music came to Japan after World War II that music not only became part of their daily lives but it became a discipline as well The Koreans and Chinese as we know are just as highly motivated as the Japanese That s a good thing because even prodigies must work hard Next to hard work biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy J S Bach for example was the top of several generations of musicians and four of his sons had significant careers in music 53 Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because A it would allow them access to a better life in the West B Jewish children
