Five Chinese environmental NGOs have issued a report blasting Apple and its suppliers for profiting at the cost of the local environment.The report which records every detail of the seven-month investigation has unveiled another side of the Apple company.Apple products are popular for their supreme functionality and creative design.But while fans snap up these i-products, people in China are paying for the production procedure with their health.The report says toxic discharges from suspected Apple suppliers have been encroaching on local communities.It alleges that 27 Apple suppliers have severe pollution problems, from toxic gases to heavy metal sludge.The report claims a village nearby a supplier's factory experienced a phenomenal rise in cases of cancer.It also blames Apple for taking advantage of loopholes in developing countries' environmental management systems to grab super profits.It criticized the company for refusing to make the identities of its suppliers public and fulfilling its responsibility to disclose information about the environmental effects of its suppliers' actions.Facing the charges, the technology giant proposed on Wednesday to hold a conference call with the NGOs to discuss their recent findings about its suppliers.They also said the company is committed to “maintaining the highest standards for social responsibility throughout its supply chain”.But the report found a different story.And lawyers in China say even if the affected residents successfully sue Apple, the company does not necessarily have to pay compensation for any misdeeds committed by its suppliers.That's why the NGOs suggest buyers of the devices make “green” choices that help Apple establish a supply chain that does not harm the environment.词汇学习:

哈佛大学(Harvard University)成立于1636年,是美国历史最悠久的高等学府。哈佛大学位于美国马萨诸塞州剑桥城。哈佛大学是一所私立大学,是知名的“常春藤盟校”的八大成员之一。在美国知名大学排名网站USnews 上,哈佛大学连续多年排名第一位。而在世界各报刊和研究机构排行中,哈佛大学常年雄踞榜首。
作为如此名校,哈佛大学对于申请人的筛选也相当严格。Princeton Review把哈佛大学评为美国最难申请的大学第四位。
哈佛大学的校训是真理(Veritas),这个校训也出现在哈佛大学的校徽上。
哈佛大学校徽
哈佛大学历史上出现过数不尽的名人和诺贝尔奖得主。哈佛的毕业生中出现了8任美国总统。我们所熟知的美国现任总统奥巴马、前任总统罗斯福、肯尼迪和乔治·布什都是哈佛大学校友。也有不少中国知名人士毕业于哈佛,包括地质学家竺可桢,散文家梁实秋,梁启超之子建筑学家梁思成等等。当前的台湾国民党主席马英九获得了哈佛大学法学博士学位。最近炙手可热的NBA中国明星控球后卫林书豪也出身哈佛。哈佛的教授中,有34名诺贝尔奖得主。而哈佛历史上一共有40位诺贝尔奖得主和30位普利策奖得主。
哈佛大学学生以研究生为主,约有12000多名研究生,近7000名本科生和2400多名教授。在全美排名上,哈佛大学商学院、医学院排名首位,人文、政治和英文专业排名第一。文学院、法学院、医学院、商学院以及工程学院是全美公认的Number One。哈佛大学共设10个研究生院,包括文理学院、商业管理学院、设计学院、牙科医学学院、神学院、教育学院、法学院、医学院、公共卫生学院和肯尼迪政治学院;2个招收大学本科生的学院,即哈佛学院和拉德克利夫学院;并设继续教育办公室,专门负责暑期学校、附设课程和终身学习中心。
Harvard University 校园风景
哈佛大学与麻省理工学院(MIT)的关系非常微妙,是一种既有竞争又合作的关系。早年间,两校的合并方案也被激烈讨论过。哈佛与麻省在排名和研究上的竞争非常激烈。由于同处剑桥市,为了充分利用资源,两校的学生可以选择另一所学校的课程来完成学分要求。在科研方面,两校同样进行了广泛的合作,包括哈佛MIT数据中心等。

OXFORD UNIVERSITY
Oxford University once famously claimed to have been founded by Alfred the Great in the 9th Century, but in fact, the University as we know it today began to take shape in the 12th Century when English Scholars were exiled from Paris University and began to congregate at Oxford’s Abbeys and Priories, which were buy then already established centers of learning.Today, 39 independent, self-governing colleges are related to the University in a type of federal system.Each is governed by a Head of House and a number of Fellows, who are academics specializing in a wide variety of disciplines, most of whom also hold University posts.Across both the Arts and the Sciences, Oxford research consistently ranks top both nationally and internationally.As well as being in the forefront of scientific, medical and technological achievement, the University has strong links with research institutions and industrial concerns both in the United Kingdom and overseas.The University is income from externally funded research grants and contracts in 1996-7 totaled over £107 million.The University’s great age also allows its teaching staff and research students to draw on a heritage of magnificent library and museum collections.Students working for higher degrees are an important and valued part of Oxford University.They currently make up over a quarter of the total student body of 15,641, drawn by the excellent facilities for research, which the University can offer;therefore the proportion of graduate students is increasing.In all these fields, Oxford attracts scholars from many parts of the world to join its teaching and research staff, and also values important role of overseas graduate students(approximately one third of the total graduate body)in providing intellectual stimulation and creating and maintaining academic links with colleges abroad.To gain entry into the University, students must first win a place by competitive examination at one of the colleges, which have their own admissions policies.The procedure for applications varies according to the subject you propose to study.There are no final deadlines for most applications, unless specified in a particular subject section, but there are many more applications than places available, and the process of acceptance by both faculty board and college can take some time;early application is therefore strongly advised.

第五篇:哈弗大学的 幸福法则
十条幸福的法则:源自哈佛大學今年最受歡迎的一堂課「幸福课」

猜猜看,哈佛大学今年最受欢迎的是那一堂课?
选修课是「幸福课」,听课人数超过了王牌课《经济学导论》。而教这门课的是一位名不见经传的年轻讲师,名叫泰勒?本-沙哈尔。
或许你也跟我一样好奇?为何这一堂课如此受欢迎,真想开春后也一同到哈佛教室上课,但这次藉由朋友的分享,让我们一同静心、聆听这堂哈佛「幸福课」。让自己的2010年有个全新「幸福、丰富」的开端 ~
泰 勒?本-沙哈尔自称是一个害羞、内向的人。「在哈佛,我第一次教授积极心理学课时,只有8个学生报名,其中,还 有2人中途退课。第二次,我有近400名学生。到了第三次,当学生数目达到850人时,上课更多的是让我感到紧张和不安。特别是当学生的家长、爷爷奶奶和那些媒体的朋友 们,开始出现在我课堂上的时侯。」
本-沙哈尔希望他的学生,学会接受自己,不要忽略自己所拥有的独特性; 要摆脱「完美主义」,要「学会失败」。
为了更好地记住「幸福课」的要点,本-沙哈尔还为学生简化出10条小贴纸:
1:遵从你内心的热情。
选择对你有意义并且能让你快乐的课,不要只是为了轻松地拿一个A而选课,或选你朋友上的课,或是别人认为你应该上的课。
2:多和朋友们在一起。
不要被日常工作缠身,亲密的人际关系,是你幸福感的信号,最有可能为 你带来幸福。
3:学会失败。
成功没有快捷方式,历史上有成就的人,总是敢于行动,也会经常失败。不要让对失败的恐惧,绊住你尝试新事物的脚步。
4:接受自己全然为人。
失望、烦乱、悲伤是人性的一部分。接纳这些,并把它们当成自然之事,允许自己偶尔的失落和伤感。然后问问自己,能做些什么来让自己感觉好过一点。
5:简化生活。
更多并不总代表更好,好事多了,也不一定有利。你选了太多的课吗? 参加了太多的活动吗?应求精而不在多。
6:有规律地锻炼。
体育运动是你生活中最重要的事情之一。每周只要3次,每次只要30分钟,就能大大改善你的身心健康。
7:睡眠。
虽然有时「熬通宵」是不可避免的,但每天7到9小时的睡眠是一笔非常 棒的投资。这样,在醒着的时候,你会更有效率、更有创造力,也会更开心。
8.慷慨。
现在,你的钱包里可能没有太多钱,你也没有太多时间。但这并不意味 着你无法助人。
「给予」和「接受」是一件事的两个面。当我们帮助别人时,我们也在 帮助自己; 当我们帮助自己时,也是在间接地帮助他人。
9:勇敢。
勇气并不是不恐惧,而是心怀恐惧,仍依然向前。
10:表达感激。
生活中,不要把你的家人、朋友、健康、教育等这一切当成理所当然的。它们都是你回味无穷的礼物。记录他人的点滴恩惠,始终保持感恩之心。
