Every July when I was a child, my parents would pack their bags and go on vacation. My sister and I were left home with our grandparents. We played dodge ball and drank bug juice in the grungy day-camp nearby, and spent the rest of our time drawing with chalk on the driveway and vegetating in front of the TV. It was adults, not children, who had the exciting lives then--and no one questioned our parents' right to fly off for a month to France or Italy,, Bermuda, Mexico, or Guadeloupe.We enjoyed staying with our grandparents, who allowed us to eat cookies for breakfast and stay up to watch The Tonight Show, but what we liked most was the expectation of our parents' return. It wasn't that we missed them--such a thing never occurred to us--but we looked forward to the souvenirs they Would bring back from their travels.

介绍David Bowie的文章总爱称他“musical chameleon”(“音乐变色龙”)，然而这个名头却是贬多于褒，实际上更像是“音乐投机者”的委婉说法。的确，Bowie的音乐风格一直在变，自从20世纪60年代出道以来，几乎任何一种重要音乐风潮中都能看到他的身影。20世纪70年代前期的Glam Rock(华丽摇滚)浪潮让混迹乐坛多年却一直名不见经传的David Bowie一夜成名。在那场短
我们生活在和平年代，但是战争离我们并不遥远。 不信?你回头看看21世纪的第一个10年。2001年9月11日，恐怖分子劫机袭击美国，3，000人丧命。不久，美国报复，在阿富汗和伊拉克发动反恐战争。这些年来，光死在阿富汗和伊拉克的美国军人就已经超过了5，0000，死于非命的伊拉克平民更是突破了10万。这仗—直打到现在，美国人不但没有结束战斗，还要增兵。
