From the slums to the Oscars 《贫民富翁》冲击奥斯卡 作者：DAVID BATRAM, 21ST CENTURY STA 时间：2009-02-02来源：21世纪英文报第789期Jamal (Dev Patel) is finally reunited with Latika (Freida Pinto).英语词汇解析heart-wrenching 令人心痛的rags-to-riches 从赤贫到暴富rupee 卢比slum 贫民窟be suckered into 被迷惑住tattered 破烂的, 褴褛的COULD an 18-year-old orphan who never went to school win the toughest quiz show on TV? This is the basic idea of Slumdog Millionaire. The film has become a global sensation since cleaning up at the Golden Globes — the Hollywood foreign press association’s favorite picks — winning four awards. It is being heavily tipped for Oscar success next month.Slumdog is quite literally a rags-to-riches story. Jamal Malik, played by British actor Dev Patel, is forced to wear tattered clothes throughout his childhood after being orphaned and left with nothing.And the riches? Just a little matter of 20 million rupees (2.8 million yuan) on offer if he can win at the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?The film opens with Jamal close to the prize. But the police are suspicious. Surely he must be cheating. How else would a wow power leveling boy who has grown up in India’s slums have such good knowledge?But as the story of Jamal’s life is told, it is revealed how each of the questions relates to an incident from his childhood. After clearing his name he is left with one last question to answer in order to win — and the love of his life to find.Slumdog is the ultimate wow power leveling feel-good film. Watching Jamal struggle through life in the slums of Mumbai is genuinely heart wrenching. By the end of the film, I found myself willing him on to get the final question right and be reunited with his childhood sweetheart, Latika.Why is the film such a cheap archlord gold surprise candidate for the Oscars? The film is British made, and set fully in India. Both of these countries normally have to struggle to make an impact in Hollywood.But Slumdog has not been without its critics. Alice Miles wrote in The Times that it was wrong to use other people’s poverty as archlord online gold entertainment. “When we are suckered into enjoying scenes of horror among children in slums on the other side of the world, we ought to question where our moral compass is pointing,” she said.Regardless, most of India has reacted positively. Indian filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar told the UK’s Telegraph, “It is an excellent film which depicts real poverty and real life in India.” One Indian newspaper ran the headline, Indian tale catches global fancy.But Oscar success is archlord power leveling not a given. When the nominations are announced on February 22, Slumdog is expected to face stiff competition from The Dark Knight, starring the late Heath Ledger, as well as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a historical drama starring Brad

A Physiological and Social PhenomenonWhen it comes to the question of why certain parts of our bodies—feet, chest, lower backs, underarms, etc.—are more sensitive than others, some believe that it’s an evolutionary trait we’ve developed to protect ourselves from small bugs, wow power leveling spiders, and other surprise attackers. The key word here is surprise—the grazing touch usually needs to come unexpectedly to yield laughter. wow power leveling Research has shown that the cerebellum, which registers touch, shows more activity when the touch is a surprise rather than anticipated. If the brain recognizes that the touch is coming, it will make the nerve response less intense, which is why we can’t tickle ourselves successfully. Why we laugh when tickled is possibly where social cues come into play. Tickling that produces laughter is referred to as gargalesis, a term coined by two psychologists, Arthur Allin and G. Stanley Hall. (They differentiate this type of tickling from knismesis, which is akin to a light itch.) Gargalesis usually only occurs when the tickler and cheap archlord gold the tickler’s “victim” are familiar and comfortable with each other. A child being tickled by his or her parent, or a person being tickled by a archlord online gold partner or close friend, will often attempt to escape the attack, but will laugh when doing so. However, imagine if a random person on the street or even someone you just met tried to tickle you. The response would probably not be laughter—in fact, it would be downright awkward and creepy. That’s because we learn from a young age that it’s archlord power leveling only socially acceptable for those we trust to have that kind of contact with us.

WHILE Wang Lina’s friends were wandering around shopping malls on the weekend, she was walking through strawberry fields; when others were sleeping in cozy beds, she was delivering strawberries to supermarkets.Wang, 25, was chosen for the “100 best village heads in China” list last month, the only graduate to get the award.She graduated from Beijing Union University with a bachelor’s degree in marketing in 2005. But she decided to become an assistant to the village committee chairperson in Ertiaojie, Pinggu District of Beijing, rather than take a job with the Bank of China.”I grew up in a rural part of Beijing and have a special love for country people,” Wang explained, “so I decided to go there to do something useful for them.”No one really told me what to doBut upon arrival in the village, she found herself dealing with trivial matters all day: “As an assistant, I didn’t have any particular job. My work was to help the chairman deal with village problems, things like resolving quarrels between couples. No one told me I was here to do great things, but I thought that, since I’m here, I might as well do something useful.”She also found that the villagers just played cards since they could only rest during the cold winter, or just planted cabbage or white radishes, which brought in little money.”I remembered that the price of strawberries in Beijing was very high in winter,” Wang said, “so I asked myself, ‘why not raise strawberries to earn money?’”You’re seldom given much responsibility when you get to a new job like this. But if you have an idea that could benefit the place, why not try it?” Wang continued.It was a tough row to hoeWang then hurriedly wrote a proposal and got 500,000 yuan in funding from the government. But it wasn’t going to be plain sailing. For one thing ?C no one knew a thing about raising strawberries.Next, she turned to the marketplace, where she asked the sellers about their supplies. They told her that the best ones were in Hebei, Henan and Shandong provinces. So, she headed off to those provinces to learn about strawberries for two months.”I showed the villagers several video tapes about strawberry planting that I recorded in Shandong,” Wang explained. “After watching the videos, they could see that it wasn’t that hard.”After two months, they had 120 mu of land ready for planting. However, Wang didn’t stop here. She made weekly visits to the Agricultural Sciences Academy to talk with experts about the details of planting. It was a 200-kilometer trip, but she insisted on taking the bus to save money.”You meet difficulties when you start out. But it doesn’t matter if you can learn from experts,” said Wang. “Contact the people who can provide useful information. Learning improves your ability.”From local markets to Wal-Marts To make it easier wow power leveling for the villagers, Wang Lina prepared a summary of planting methods and made a planting calendar for each farmer.After four busy months, the strawberries began to mature. But then another problem presented itself. Where to sell the strawberries? wow power leveling “I tried contacting supermarkets but they didn’t trust us. I was really worried.”Then she remembered her cheap archlord gold university contacts, the professors and school officers. Why not try the university?”Luckily, the university authorities agreed and helped me with a campaign to sell strawberries on campus. When I took 800 cartons of berries to the school, lots of students and reporters showed up,” Wang went on, “the strawberries were all gone in an hour. Then, after word got out, many stores came to place orders. Pretty soon we were in the big stores like Wal-Mart and Carrefour.”But that still wasn’t enough to satisfy Wang. She found six “brokers” to sell the next batch before the 2007 planting. “We needed archlord online gold to change our way of thinking and plant according to market demand.”At the workplace, you shouldn’t look at problems in a traditional way. There might be better solutions. Dare to be creative,” is Wang’ archlord power leveling s advice.Last year, the village sold 20 tons of strawberries to more than 10 big cities and even received orders from South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore, bringing a total of 1.5 million yuan in profits for the village.
