在对外汉语教学中，不管采用何种教学法路子，语法总占有相当重要的位置，这是大家的。语法部分已成为教学的重要内容，成为教学的不可或缺的组成部分。本书特色表现在：1)凡是教学过程中可能遇到的问题，特别是教学重点和难点就成为该书重点讨论的地方。因而一般语法书几句就讲完，甚至不讲的东西，该书往往却要花费较大的篇幅去说明。2)凡是对中国人来说\\\"不言自明\\\"而对外国人来说\\\"不言就不明\\\"的，书中都详尽加以说明。3)凡是外国学习者在学习中常遇到的问题，常出现的偏误，书中几乎搜罗殆尽，尽可能罗列于书中，予以诠释。与其他语法书的不同之处在于一个\\\"细\\\"字。个\\\"细\\\"，细在词汇用法教学，注重细节描写，在细微处下功夫仔细辨析；第二个\\\"细\\\"，细在句法中的难点，书中结合学习者偏误，归纳语法细则，并提出教学建议。

Where are the convulsive changes leading, notonly for China, but for the world.Every stretch of history has its own internal logic. The reader of this book may beconfronted

Peking Opera, known as Jing Ju (Capital Opera), has a history of more than 200 years. Because of its patronage by the ruling Qing,or Manchu, dynasty, Peking Opera grew from a local folk art .to the standard bearer of theatrical art. It attained the prominent status of Guo Ju or National Opera of China. After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown in 1911, Peking Opera continued to gain popularity not only with the upper classes but also with students and intellectuals. By the 1920s, it had developed into a splendid art form and a popular means-of entertainment as well. In the capital alone, numerous theaters were established solely for op- era performances,and there were at least, three academies for training young performers and several pr0fess!onal opera troupes that performed every week.

Green China, as well as this particular work, developed from a recognition that China was tackling a wide range of serious environmental problems within the context of her rapid industrialization, urbanization, transition to a market-oriented economy and growing consumerism that would inevitably have great impact not only on the lives of its own vast population, but also for those inhabiting neighboring countries and even the world at large.The problems have been well documented in the Western media, but the solutions being tried have perhaps not been so well publicized, and this book is an attempt to redress the balance. Instead of lack of respect for Nature, enhanced environmental education ensures that there is resurgence in respect for the power and beauty of China's environment.There is a renewed quest for exemplars, of models of good practice in human/environment interaction, a quest that has several dimensions. And so, one dimension of such a quest is the historical one, seeking examples of ecological
