But I dont know when and why the Great Wall was built?C: The construction of the Great Wall started from 7th century BC;

10、 therefore, it had a history of more than 2,500 years. During the Period of the Warring States, many kingdoms built walls in Central China to protect themselves from each other and from the “barbarians in the north. When Qin Shihuang, the first emperor in Chinese history, unified China, he ordered t

11、hat the northern section of the Walls built by different kingdoms be linked up and put together into one defensive bulwark. This was the Qin Great Wall-From Lintao in Gansu Province in the west to Liaodong in the east. B: After Qin collapsed, did the following dynasties continue to build the Great W

12、all? C: Yes. In the following dynasties, the Great Wall was under constant construction and repair The Great Wall we see today are mainly the remnants of the Ming Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty in Chinese history when large-scaled construction of the Great Wall took place. The Min

13、g Great Wall stretched from the Yalu River in the east to Jiayuguan in the west, covering a total length of more than 5,000 km. B: Isnt Shanghaiguan the eastern end of the Great Wall?C: Today, Shanhaiguan Pass is generally considered as the eastern end of the Great Wall because the section from Shan

14、haiguan Pass to the Yalu River was poorly built and maintained.A: Did the Qing government build the Great Wall?C: The Qing rulers did not continue to build the Great Wall. They adopted a new policy by building a Summer Resort in Chengde to entertain the Mongolian and Tibetan nobles to ensure a peace

15、ful boundary. B: Building the Great Wall must have been an unbelievably hard job.A: Yes, exactly. The bricks, rocks and lime used to build the Wall had to be carried up the mountains at the cost of back-breaking labour. Goats and donkeys were also used to carry earth and bricks in baskets. Since som

16、e of the rocks were very heavy, maybe as heavy as one ton, they were moved up slopes by means of rolling rods and hoisting bars. It is hard to calculate the amount of manpower used in the construction of the Great Wall.A: How useful was the Great Wall in the defence of the barbarians from the north?

17、C: In ancient China, beacon towers were built along the wall to relay military information from place to place. When the enemy invaded in the day-time, wolves dung was burned for strong smoke, while at night, beacon fire was lit on the towers to give a warning message. The number of the smoke signal

18、s could reveal the number of invading enemies. One column of smoke used to represent 100 enemies, two columns, 500, and three columns, 1,000, and the amount of smoke also showed the degree of emergency.Section 2 Being a Good Guide When a secretary is assigned the task of leading guests to visit some

19、 places of interest or some scenic spots, the secretarys role has changed into a guide temporarily. When accompanying the guests to visit a famous and historical place or a very beautiful place of nature, the secretary should tell them its long history and unique characteristics to let them know and

20、 share the wisdom of Chinese people and enjoy the treasures of Chinese civilization. For example, when visiting Beijing, the Forbidden City is a better place to visit. The Forbidden City contains the imperial palaces of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Twenty-four emperors, 14 in Ming and 10 in the Qing

21、 dynasties, ruled the country from here. The last emperor Puyi lived here until 1924. After that, the palace was opened to the public as the Palace Museum. The Forbidden City covers an area of 72 hectares. It is rectangular in shape . It is said there are 9999.5 rooms in the whole complex. The build

22、ings in the Forbidden City are arranged symmetrically. Along the central axis are three big halls. They make up the main part of the front area known as the Outer Court where the emperors attended state affairs. Behind the three big halls lay the living quarters of the imperial family. Yellow is the

23、 predominant color of the Forbidden City. Nearly every house within the Forbidden City is roofed with yellow glazed tiles. Chinese ancestors believed that the universe was made up of five elements, namely, gold, wood , water, fire and earth. Because the earth was the most basic of them all, yellow,

24、the color of earth, was almost exclusively used for the emperors. When visiting Huangshan, a secretary should let his or her guests know where Huangshan is located, and what makes Huangshan special among all the mountains in China. Huangshan Mountain, is one of Chinas most spectacular mountains. It

25、is the general name of a famous range of granite mountains found in the south of Anhui Province. The sightseeing area of Huangshan Mountain covers 154 sq. km, so it is known as “five-hundred-li Huangshan. Huangshai is famous for its beautiful scenery. There is an old saying to acclaim its beauty: Co

26、ming back form Huangshai, you would not like to view other mountains. Over the centuries, Chinese men of letters have immortalized “four ultimate beauties of Huangshan Mountain: ancient pine trees clinging to the rock face; peaks in strange shapes; bubbling hot springs and rapidly changing clouds. H

27、uangshan Mountain is wonderful for its varied scenes and changeable views. The clouds flow to and fro among the pine trees and the brooks flow murmuring around the rocks. It is “change that makes Huangshan Mountain distinguished from other mountains. To function as an efficient guide, a secretary ne

28、eds to make good preparation and collect some information about the place to visit. A secretary should also take care to accumulate such information in the daily life in case it would be useful some day. What a secretary should always remember is that his or her knowledge will decide the success of

29、his or her work as a guide. Dictation. The terra-cotta soldiers in Xian were sculptured to protect the tomb of Qin Shihuang. While the soldiers and horses are made of clay, the weapons are real. Some of the weapons were never discovered before and demonstrated more advanced craftsmanship than expect

30、ed. For instance, an unearthed bronze sword still shines after having been buried underground for more than 2,000 years. It has been found to contain many rare minerals. The ancient craftsmen also used special treatment to prevent the sword from getting rusty.Section 3 Learning How to Make an Agenda

31、An agenda is a written document that lists the topics to be discussed during meeting The secretary should get it ready and distribute it to the attendees before the meeting so as to help them prepare specifically for the topics to be discussed and to get to know the purpose of a meeting. The effecti

32、ve running of meeting can only be made possible by the preparation of an informative, purposeful agenda.An agenda should listl the attendees (i.e. the names of the people invited) l the meeting date and placel the topics planed to discuss and timesl the purpose of the meetingFormats for agendas are

33、well-defined; noun phrases, participle phrase and incomplete sentences are preferred. Here is an example of a meeting agenda in the form of a memo.ABC COMPANY / 1685 Ambar Drive / Calabasas, CA 91360Interdepartmental MemoDate: September 18, 2001To: Jack Fong, Ben AdamsFrom: Susan Thomas Subject: Fin

35、1:30l Delivery of documentsl Follow-through with Mr. Dolan Section 4 Getting to Know BuddhismBuddhism is a vast and complex religious and philosophical tradition which stretches back over 2,500 years. It has about 500 million adherents around the world. “Buddha means “one who has woken up. Most peop

36、le live asleep, never knowing or seeing life as it really is. As a consequence they suffer. A buddha is someone who awakens to the knowledge of the world as it truly is and so finds release from suffering. Buddhists do not believe in a creator God nor a personal God, but Buddhists are tolerant of th

37、ose whose beliefs are different from theirs. Buddhists believe that nothing is fixed or permanent change is always possible. Buddhism teaches that all life is interconnected, so compassion is natural and important. The founder of Buddhism Siddhartha Gautama, was born into a royal family in Lumbini,

38、now located in Nepal, in 563BC. At the age of 29, Gautama realized that wealth and luxury did not guarantee happiness. After six years of severe austerity, he finally understood the true nature of suffering. From this point on he is known as the Buddha, literally “the awakened one. For the rest of h

39、is life, he taught his disciples until he died at the age of 80. The teachings of Buddha can be summarized as the following:1. Actions have consequences; so our lives are conditioned by our past actions.2. Consciousness continues after death, and finds expression in a future life.3. By following the

40、 Buddhas path one escapes the cycle of craving and suffering.4. The highest goal of life is to reach Enlightenment; a state of being that goes beyond suffering.5. At the heart of the Buddhas teaching lie the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path which lead the Buddhist towards the path of “nirvan

41、a or Enlightenment. Those who have followed the Eight-fold Path and arrived at the point of achieving nirvana are called “saints.“The Four Noble Truths are:1, sorrow is the universal experience of mankind;2, the cause of sorrow is desire;3, the removal of sorrow can only come from the removal of des

42、ire;4, desire can be systematically abandoned by following the Noble Eight-fold Path, which are right understanding, right thinking, right speaking, right acting, right lifestyle, right endeavouring, right mindfulness, and right contemplation.Now there are two traditions of Buddhism: Theravada Buddh

43、ism and Mahayana Buddhism. Theravada and Mahayana are both rooted in the basic teachings of the historical Buddha, and both emphasize the individual search for liberation from the cycle birth, death and rebirth The methods or practices for doing that, however, can be very different.Theravada Buddhis

44、m, sometimes called “Southern Buddhism, seeks to be faithful to the original teachings of Gautama Buddha. It centers on the role of monk and his individual search for nirvana. Theravada Buddhism, is strongest in Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and Burma (Myanmar). Mahayana means “Great Vehicle;

45、and Mahayana Buddhism teaches that as a large raft crosses a river, so too, multitudes may be carried to nirvana. It declares that Buddhism is a religion for lay people as well as for monks and explains that each person is involved with other believers, helping one another. Mahayana Buddhism is stro

47、它西起甘肃临洮东至辽东。B: 秦朝崩溃以后，后代的王朝继续建造长城了吗?C: 是的。在以后的王朝中，长城被不断建造和修缮。我们今天看到的长城主要是明代长城的残存局部。明王朝是历史上大规模修建长城的最后一个王朝。明长城从东部的鸭绿江一直延伸到西部的嘉玉关，总长度为5,000公里。B：可是，难道山海关不是长城的东端吗？C：今天，山海关通常被看成是长城的东端，因为从山海关到鸭绿江这一段的长城建造和保存得都很差。A：清王朝修建长城了吗？C：清五朝的统治者们没有继续修建长城。他们采取了一种新的策略。他们在承德营造了避暑山庄来款待蒙古和西藏王公们，以此保证边境和平。B：修建长城一定是一项难以置信的艰苦劳动

48、。C：确实如此。必须以极大的劳苦把造城的砖头，岩石和石灰弄到山上去。山羊和驴子也被用来驮载装在筐子里的土和砖头。因为有的岩石特别重，也许重达一吨，所以人们就用圆木和棍子把它们滚或吊上山坡。建造长城所耗用的人力是难以计算的。A：长城是如何用来抵御北方的野蛮人的？C：在古代中国，人们沿长城建造了烽火台来从一个地方向另一个地方传递军事情报。当敌人在白天入侵时，人们就燃起狼烟以释放出浓烈的烟雾。而在夜晚，人们就在台上点起烽火来发放警报信号。信号烟柱的数量可以显示入侵敌军的人数。过去一柱烟表示100敌军，两柱，500，三柱，1,000。烟柱的浓烈程度也反映军情的紧急程度。A和B：哦，中国人民真是一个智慧

49、和伟大的民族啊。第二局部成为称职的导游当秘书被分配到带着客人参观名胜地或风景区的任务时，秘书的角色就暂时转变成了导游。当陪同客人参观著名的古迹或非常美丽的自然景区时，秘书应当告诉他们该地的悠久历史和特色，以便使他们了解和分享中国人民的智慧并欣赏中华文明的财富。当游览北京时，紫禁城是较好的参观地点。紫禁城含有明代和清代的皇家宫殿。24位帝王，其中明代14 位，清代10位，在这里统治天下。末代皇帝溥仪一直在这里生活到1924年。从那以后，宫殿就作为故宫博物馆向公众开放。紫禁城占地72公顷，呈长方形。据说整个建筑有9999间半房屋。紫禁城的房屋都对称排列。沿着中轴线是三座大殿。它们构成了被称作外宫的前区的主要局部。皇帝在此处理国家事务。皇家的生活区坐落在三座大殿的后部。黄色是紫禁城的主导颜色。紫禁城内几乎每间房屋都以黄色釉瓦为顶。中国人的祖先认为宇宙是由金，木，水，火、土这五种元素构成。因为土是最根本的元素，所以黄色，土地的颜色，就几乎被帝王们单独使用。当游览黄山时，秘书应当让客人知道黄山位于何处，是什么使得黄山在中国所
