Practice 2Thoughts in Westminster Abbey  When I am in a serious humour, I very often walk by myself in Westminster Abbey; where the gloominess of the place, and the use which it is applied, with the solemnity of the building, and the condition of the people who lie in it, are apt to fill the mind with a kind of melancholy, or rather thoughtfulness, that is not disagreeable. I yesterday passed a whole afternoon in the churchyard, the cloisters, and the church, amusing myself with the tombstones and inscriptions that I met with in those several regions of the dead. Most of them recorded nothing else of the buried person, but that he was born upon one day, and died upon another:the whole history of his life being comprehended in those two circumstances, that are common to all mankind. I could not but look upon these registers of existence, whether of brass or marble, as a kind of satire upon the departed persons;who had left no other memorial of them, but that they were born and that they died. They put me in mind of several persons mentioned in the battles of heroic poems, who have sounding names given them, for no other reason but that they may be killed, and are celebrated for nothing but being knocked on the head. The life of these men is finely described in holy writ by ‘the path of an arrow’, which is immediately closed up and lost.  Upon my going into the church, I entertained myself with the digging of a grave;and saw in every shovelful of it that was thrown up, the fragment of a bone or skull intermixt with a kind of fresh mouldering earth, that some time or other had a place in the composition of a human body. Upon this I began to consider with myself what innumerable multitudes of people lay confused together under the pavement of that ancient cathedral;how men and women, friends and enemies, priests and soldiers, monks and prebendaries, were crumbled amongst one another, and blended together in the same common mass;how beauty, strength, and youth, with old age, weakness and deformity, lay undistinguished in the same promiscuous heap of matter.

威斯敏斯特教堂内的遐想 每当心情沉重的时候,我总是独自一人去威斯敏斯特教堂;那里肃穆的气氛,教堂特有的神圣,庄重的建筑,在那里安息的人们的身份地位,无不给人的心里注满一种忧郁,或不妨说令人沉思,令人欣然。昨天我在教堂草地、回廊和教堂里度过了整整一个下午,在好几个墓区里,打量墓碑和碑文,聊以自娱。大部分的墓碑上只刻着死者姓名和生卒年月:人们对其一生的了解也只在于人类所共有的生死两字。对于那些逝去的人们的生死记录,不管是刻在铜牌上还是刻在大理石碑上,我都不由自主地将它们看作是对死者的一种讽刺;他们没有留下任何别的记录,只是生与死。他们使我想到了英雄诗歌中描写战争时提到的几个人物,他们有响亮的名字,不为别的原因,只是因为他们可能战死,只是因为他们的死亡而为人纪念。圣经中的句子“如箭飞过”恰如其分地描写了这些人的一生:一闪而过,不见踪影。
我走进教堂,观看别人挖一座坟墓;只见挖出来的每一铲新的腐土中,都混杂着骨头或头颅的碎块,曾几何时,这些碎块还是人身体的一部分呢。看见这个情景,我暗自思忖,在这座古老的大教堂的路底下,混埋着何等众多的人啊;男人和女人,朋友和敌人,牧师和士兵,修士和受俸牧师,全都变成了碎块,混在一起;美丽、强壮、年轻的人和年老力衰、畸形的人,毫无区别地杂处在一堆之中。

Practice 3西藏旅游:揭去神秘的面纱  西藏地处中国西南部。13世纪中叶,正式纳入中国元代版图。尽管中国历经多次改朝换代,政权更迭,但是,西藏始终在中央政府控制之下,是中国的一个不可分割的部分。  今天是一个以喷气式飞机、高速公路和计算机网络为标志的信息时代。世界上具有神秘色彩的地方已所剩无几,西藏却是一个例外。  由于其地理位置偏僻、地形地貌独特,原始的自然风光和仍鲜为人知的民俗风情,以及本世纪初一些外国探险家带回去的种种宣传,这一切可能使人们对西藏形成一种神秘感。  西藏历史文化悠久。考古发掘遗迹表明4000至两万年前就有人栖息于此。勤劳勇敢的西藏人民创造了充满活力、丰富多彩的文化习俗,是一个富于独特的传统文化、能歌善舞的民族。  西藏天文学、历算先进,医学发达,拥有大量经典和文学作品。西藏的艺术瑰宝有绘画、建筑、雕刻、音乐、舞蹈、民间戏剧。西藏各地都有著名的古代艺术景点,其中最著名的景点有布达拉宫、扎什伦布寺、大昭寺和小昭寺等。这里的观光旅游和民俗风情旅游,是世界上最为独特的。  如今游客可以以多种方式进入西藏,他们可以乘汽车从新疆、青海、四川或云南到西藏,也可以乘飞机从北京、成都或重庆到拉萨。  现代游客渴望重返大自然,欣赏大自然。西藏地域广阔、人口稀少,高山白雪皑皑、森林郁郁葱葱、杜鹃满山遍野,河流奔腾不息,湖泊静谧安详。这里绝大多数地方没有污染,散发着淡谈的原始醇香。在这里人们可以尽情地享受大自然的恩赐。

The Tourism of Tibet: Reveal the Mysterious Veil Tibet is located in the southwest of China. It formally belonged to the domain of the Yuan Dynasty in the mid-thirteenth century. Although China has undertaken changes and replacements of dynasties and central governments in Chinese history, Tibet has always been under the control by the central government and been an inseparable part of China.
Today is an age of information with jet aircrafts, highways and network of computers as its symbols. Mysterious places are rare to be found in the world, but Tibet is an exception.
Because of its geographical position, unique topography and terrain; unknown but existent original customs and natural scenery; and various propagandas brought back by foreign explorers, all these render people possible to form a mysterious picture of Tibet.
Tibet has a long history. Ancient remains show that human .beings lived here from 4 thousand to 20 thousand years ago. Tibetans are so diligent and brave that they have created diverse cultural customs. This is a nation with special traditional culture and a nation keen on dancing and singing.
Tibet is advanced in astronomy, ancient, algorithm and medicine. Tibet is abounded of classics and literature works. Among Tibetan art treasures are painting, architecture, carving, music, dancing, folk opera. Of famous ancient art sites all around Tibet, the most well-known sites are the Potala Palace, Zhaxilhunbo Temple, Jokhang Temple, Ramoche Temple and etc. The tour of these places and the local customs are the most special in the world.
Now tourists can enter Tibet in many ways, by bus from Xingjiang, Qinghai, Sichuan or Yunnan; by air from Beijing, Chengdu or Chongqing to Lhasa.
Modern tourists are eager to return to and enjoy the nature. Tibet has a large area, a small population, high mountains covered with snow, rich forests and booming azalea, rampage rivers and tranquil lakes. Most of the places are free from pollution and preserve their original state for people to enjoy the bounty of the nature.
