In the Warring States Period， Lin Xiangru， chief min-ister of the State of Zhao， was sent as an envoy to the State of Qin to ask the ruler of Qin to return a fine piece of jade to Zhao.
But the ruler of Qin was rude and unreasonable. Lin was angry， and his hair stood up so stiffly
on his head that it lifted up his hat.
后来人们用“怒发冲冠”这个成语形容人愤怒到了极点。
This idiom came to be used to mean being extremely angry.作者: doneast 时间: 2012-11-25 15:48
【分享】少儿英语教学重要原则
Use all your senses to learn English. You must hear English, read English, touch English, smell English, and taste English. Feel English with your heart. Immerse yourself in this language. Begin to think in English.
ORANGE: Inheriting some of the drama of red, orange is temperedby the friendly humour of yellow. It’s the colour that stimulates the appetite and radiates with warmth and vitality.
橙色：继承了红色的张扬，又被黄色的婉转所中和，橙色能有效促进食欲，也是放射着温暖活力的颜色。
BLUE: Ever noticed how many corporations and financial institutions use blue in their brands? That’s because blue is seen as dependable and committed. It is also the colour we often associate with calm and serenity. Darken the blue and you’ll add an instant authority, credibilityand power to it.
AN ASS and a Cock were in a straw-yard together when a Lion, desperate from hunger, approached the spot. He was about to spring upon the Ass, when the Cock (to the sound of whose voice the Lion, it is said, has a singular aversion) crowed loudly, and the Lion fled away as fast as he could. The Ass, observing his trepidation at the mere crowing of a Cock summoned courage to attack him, and galloped after him for that purpose. He had run no long distance, when the Lion, turning about, seized him and tore him to pieces.

A great conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts. When the two armies were collected together the Bat hesitated which to join. The Birds that passed his perch said: "Come with us"; but he said: "I am a Beast." Later on, some Beasts who were passing underneath him looked up and said: "Come with us"; but he said: "I am a Bird." Luckily at the last moment peace was made, and no battle took place, so the Bat came to the Birds and wished to join in the rejoicings, but they all turned against him and he had to fly away. He then went to the Beasts, but soon had to beat a retreat, or else they would have torn him to pieces. "Ah," said the Bat, "I see now,
"He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends."

Grammar is useful, but it is wrong to imagine that one can learn to speak a foreign language by rules of grammar. Grammar is of help, but it is not everything. You have got to bear in mind that learning to speak a language is a matter of habit of forming. Therefore, constant practice is essential. Practice makes perfect!作者: doneast 时间: 2013-4-7 21:10
