终于看完了RIVER TOWN,抄两段,一段关于电视mv ,一段关于天气预报

i could step across it easily and the fact that it stretched for fifiteen handred miles---all of that showed how far the chinese could go with a bad idea .but it also seemed very chinese that despite its original failure the wall now had great value .it had become perhaps the most powerful symbol of national pride,and nobody connected it with negative qualities like isolationism and stubbornness .television stations often showed a music video that had been filmed on the great wall;the song was called "love my china ",and it celebrated the nations fiftyfive minority and the happiness they enjoyed in the peoples republic ."love my china "was a miserable ,cloying song ,but like so many of the bad music programs on television it had a sort of fatal attrationg --i always watched it to the bitter end .the songs conclusion featured representative minorities dancing on the great wall ,dressed in traditional costumes as they sang how much they loved their china ,every time i watched it ,i thought :your china built that wall to keep you people out .

everyday it was thirty-five degrees celsius .supposedly the goverment had a policy that if the temperature reached thirty-seven degrees everybody was given the rest of the day off ,and so they always announced the official temperature as thirty -five .china was perhaps the only country in the world where the government controlled the temperature,although two years later the beijing weather stations finally started annoucing the temperature as it actually was. lacal newspapers hailed this development as an important step toward telling citizens the truth ,and perhaps it was:today the temperature ,tomorrow the full report on the tiananmen square massacre .

其实,这是本很有人情味的书,是一个年轻美国志愿者到涪陵师范学院教了两年英语,写那个地方,写他的学生.
