Who is the best? LeBron or Kobe ?

   Nowadays, there is no doubt that LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are the best two basketball players in the world. They stand for the highest standard of NBA conference and are idols of thousands of young basketball fans. They have similarities in many aspects. For instance, they both have perfect basketball skills and play a vital role in their own team. Besides, their desperate for victory motivates them build up their strength, confidence as well as skills.

 

                          

     

   Even so, they still have many differences. Kobe has got five championship rings till now, while LeBron still has nothing in his pocket. However, LeBron or Kobe? My answer is LeBron. Why? First of all, compared to Kobe, he is more a leader and he knows how to encourage his teammates in the most proper way. Besides, I also admire his filial piety. In the past few years, his mother has done many stupid things that make LeBron very embarrassed, but he also shows much respect to his mother. Furthermore, his loyalty to love deeply touched me. Unlike many basketball stars, LeBron is loyal to his girlfriend, although she is not pretty. They have gone through much tough time, I believe they can finally get into the wedding church and live a happy life.

  

  Maybe you are not interested in basketball, but once you get to know this guy, you cannot help falling in love with him.  

  

  And the new season has begun for some time, I hope I can be the witness of LeBron's getting his first champion ring. God bless him!

Blog 5 Hackers

All boys in RVHS, are you still afflicted by APR invasion? Apart from forbidden hours, can you manage to get access to the Internet? With both eyes fixed on the screen, the feeling of failing to enjoy the Internet can only be described in three words: 1 pitiful, “why am I so unlucky”; 2 angry, I would like to kill the hacker; 3 cannot help it, because I even don’t know how to protect yourself.

In the past, I would shout “How difficult it is for me to publish a blog at the interval between terrible APR invasions!” But no more will I shout it again. Yesterday, a “master” came to my dormitory. After being adjusted by him, miraculously my computer could enter the world of the Internet! I couldn’t disclose his name because blog is open to all. I am sorry I didn’t remember the whole process. However, several students have grasped the points of adjustment process. If you need help, come to our floor and I would introduce an expert to you!

The people who invade our LAN (Local Area Network) is rather disgusting, but they cannot be called hackers. In respect of skills, their proficiency in computer may be no better than us, let alone in comparison with professional hackers. Another aspect that distinguishes hackers and grey hackers, or “crackers”, is that, what hackers pursue is a higher level of computer science, while grey hackers aim at attacking others and enjoy the pleasure of seeing others being uncomfortable.

We usually use the word “hacker” to refer to people who do harm to others’ computers. This commonsense actually deviates from the original meaning of “hacker”. Von Neumann, the pioneer in computer science, is a “hacker”. Bjarne Stroustrup, who laid the foundation for C++ programing, is also a “hacker”. Now we can see the real meaning of “hacker”: It is hacker who creates the world of computer and Internet; and it is hacker who promotes the development of computer science.

Hacker is an interesting and also troublesome occupation which entails intelligence and diligence. They are curious about the most advanced machine in the world—computer. Devoted into this career, they desire to challenge computers, and meanwhile, themselves. They like to find fault with software and computer systems, just like they do to themselves.

In contrast, crackers are the people who we should criticize and hate. Their brilliance is wasted and taken advantage by some illegal organizations. Driven by money, they exert their strength to cause damage to others.

At present, we are learning C programming step by step. Perhaps some of us who have ambitions for computer science may become hackers in future. Hopefully, they would glitter like their predecessors.

Blog writing 4: Tastes and preferences

Tastes and preferences





大头菜+稀饭

From the days when I could remember things till now, I have experienced huge changes in people’s tastes and preferences. During just less than 13 years, people have changed significantly in the food they prefer, the clothes style they choose and the haircut they chase.

Food has played a key role in our daily life and great change has been indicated in food people like. In the past, many people were not rich and they must spend according to their incomes. Ddining out in the restaurant was a luxury, so most of them chose to cook in the home, eating a simple dish like poached Chinese cabbage and poached toufu. For the breakfast, we used to eat Da tou cai, one of my hometown specialty, and porridge as well as steamed buns. In total, it cost us less than $0.2. But now, it is quite different. People usually eat various kinds of food raging from porridge, steamed rice to noodles. And a large portion of them often dine out to eat something that cannot be cooked in the home. Correspondingly, they usually pay more to enjoy this.



Apart from the food, changes have also been reflected in clothes. I still remembered my father wearing the Chinese tunic suit, which he seldom put on except on important occasions. And at that time, trend was wearing this kind of suit. For most women, they liked dressing in long skirt so that they looked elegant. On the contrary, nowadays, few people will put the Chinese tunic suit on again. And for young people, it is very popular among them to wear clothes that have many patches and holes, which their parents think inconceivable. Women have changed as well. Instead of long skirts, their prefer to wear miniskirts so as to make them more attractive and hot. Also, minipants or hot pants are among their favorite. In general, old styles go; new styles come. This change cannot be more enormous.

Zhou Runfa

Finally, these 13 years have also seen tremendous transformation in haircuts. Ten years ago, the hair style has been governed by Zhou Renfa style in which men looked very handsome. And even now many seniors still maintain this kind of haircut. However, as the representative of the new era, young people have already abandoned this and turn to new hairstyles, such as cockscomb style, boldness like monk and crew cut. They admire strangeness and odd things, and are always ready to try new things. People changed; what they like certainly will change accordingly.

    For me, what I like has also changed a lot. I sort of prefer longer hair than the crew cut, and I like rice instead of noodles. Nevertheless, today it may be a trend, tomorrow it may not and the day after tomorrow it is popular again. Times change; so do the tastes and preferences.

some of my predictions about NBA

    I have been crazy about NBA games since my junior high school. Till now many superstars and classical games have come into my eyes. I admire T-Mac’s talent, Kobe’s self-confidence, James’s ability, Wade’s speed, Iverson’s adamancy and so on. I have also witnessed the moment of T-Mac, 81 points in one game and the dynasty of Lakers etc. Though I can seldom see NBA game live now, I still have some personal opinions to share.

  Firstly, I think MVP award‘s competition is between James and Durant. The first reason is that their statistics is very excellent. Considering their team always have a big victory in the games which will reduce their performing time, their performance must be more efficient than other competitors. Next, their teams’ standings are very high, which account a lot in assessing the MVP. Third, James is better than Durant in breakthrough, while Durant win James in shooting. So it is hard to say who will be the awardee of MVP. In short, though other players like Kobe and Paul are also very excellent, James and Durant do better in efficiency and team’s standings.

  Second, I predict the final champion is among Bulls, Heat and Lakers, and Lakers is more likely than the other two. In the west, Thunder is too young and lacks the offence inside, while Mavericks is too old and miss many important players this season. Clippers is outstanding; however, it needs a good shooter outside and stability. Lakers is experienced and have excellent players both inside and outside, so it has the most opportunity to stand out of teams in west. In east, Bulls and Heat are the best two teams, and though Heat has more superstars, Bulls may have the advantage of home match. So I think there will be a fierce match between Heat and Bull in playoffs. In addition, given that Lakers has better inside players and key player, Kobe, who performs well in junctures, I hold the opinion the Lakers is more likely to win the champion.

Those are some of my predictions and analysis. Since NBA is where amazing happens, the result of these event may be quite different. What’s more, if you have great opposite opinion against me, don’t take it seriously.

As the amount of word is limited, those are only some of my opinions. I may share more with you next time. If you are interested in the topic, you can talk it with me in leisure time. I am looking forward to your harmonious comments. 

Blog 4 Durian: a taste of happiness

Durian: a taste of happiness

  I used to love eating durian when I was at home. Whenever I take a sip of it, I feel rather content as if I were a fairy walking on the clouds. It was because of the durian ice-cream that I realized that I can also feel the same when in Singapore, which moved me a lot.

   Last Saturday, Stella, a befriender of our group, invited us out for a dinner. After the dinner, she led us to an ice-cream shop. Before I ordered the ice-cream, the waitress offered several tastes for me to try. When I was puzzled which to choose, I noticed that there was a card written “ durian” . I was exited but wondered whether I misread. The waitress explained that there was durian ice-cream in the shop, but it was not displayed on the showcase in case the strong smell would influence the others. “I want a scoop of it!” I said cheerfully. She was surprised by my resolution. I was amazed to find that the taste of the ice-cream can be so authentic. They made it with real pulp of durian rather than chemical flavor. It reminded me of every happy moment connected to the durian in China. The environment around me seemed pretty familiar, making me feel peaceful and joyful. Maybe it was just biologically a conditioned response. Just as Shi Tiesheng, a writer, said hometown is not a specific place but an attitude and mood of brightness, which is not restricted by time or space; once the attitude is aroused, you are at home.

    After staying in Singapore for more than two months, I found that Singapore was too tranquil for me to seek any novelty. However, the durian ice-cream demonstrated that happiness can be gained in a very easy way.

Jogging Blog4

 Last Saturday, I participated in a 5km jogging competition. I finally ranked 26^th. I was really satisfied.

   Actually, I love jogging and go jogging almost everyday, so such distance running is not an arduous journey for me. However, many people ask me why I love jogging and they argue that running is really boring and miserable. On the contrary, I think they don’t understand jogging well.

   In fact, jogging is a very healthy sport and it is easy for you to do it. You can run as long as you have a pair of suitable shoes. Different from some sports, which will bring you pain and tiredness, jogging seldom make my body feel sour after jogging since it is a kind of mild exercise. So I can go jogging everyday without adjustment.

   In addition, the feeling during jogging is pretty good. I needn’t worry about anything while I am jogging. I can relax my mind and do exercise at the same time. I really enjoy the peace of my mind in my daily jogging time.

   However, my friends still tell me that they suffer a lot from long distant running. To some degree, it is true. But, according my experience, that is just the symptom of lack of exercise. If you run regularly, the difficulty will be overcome by degrees. What’s more, after breaking your limitation during jogging, you can notice your gradual progress. The accumulation of such progress will lead to a health body, which is the most significant in our lives.

   Imagine the scene of jogging in a tranquil park in Singapore in the morning. It must be very enjoyable, isn’t it?

blog 4 (preference)

This the 4th blog--actually every time i am faced with computer screen i get bored and frustrated--i do not want to write anything unless i want to post it on facebook or renren.so what is the relationship between this and the topic?there are no significant differences between blogger and facebook,but i just insist on publishing my blogs on facebook because of my preference.maybe facebook is just to my taste and i am just a facebooker(i am trying to create a new noun to describe my preference,haha).different persons have various preferences.

personality or trait is not same as another's and we should show our respects to the differences.whether mentally and physically we are not so similar. so it is quite understandable that our friends do not share all our hobbies but hold some interests which are a little strange to us.in the past i could not quite get that so my friendships with others did not seem so strong and stable.however, experiences in the following time in my life taught me how to look at the differences and how to copy with them.tolerance is the basic stage which was always my attitude,while full and thorough understanding is more proper and active,which distinguishes a lot with passive attitude. 

So let us face the differences in personal preferences and deal with it properly.
