Who could have dreamed, when Peter Minuit traded a few trinkets for Manhattan back in 1626, that this little island on the outer reaches of civilization would one day be the world's center of shipping, finance, theater, culture, architecture, and diplomacy? Through the tireless work and unbounded optimism of a few wealthy dreamers and a few million immigrant workers, this rocky, swampy islet at the mouth of the Hudson River was transformed into today's axis of world capitalism—a dazzling metropolis of soaring skyscrapers and great city parks, magnificent museums and professional sports teams, epicurean restaurants and intricate subway systems. Eminent photographer Carol M. Highsmith has captured the essence of Manhattan in a stunning new collection of over one hundred city portraits, ranging from breathtaking panoramas of the celebrated skyline to close-ups of architectural details. Her camera sweeps across the city, pausing at the magnificent stainless-steel Art Deco Chrysler Building and the Empire

reSchool-Grade 2-A briskly told story in rhyme of a day at the beach. Setting off first by train, then bus, then bicycle (it's not clear where the bicycle comes from), a boy and his older sister finally arrive at the seashore, where they spend a glorious day in the surf and in the sand. "We're swimming-splishing, splashing-`Let's be porpoises and whales/Or pirates on a treasure hunt for mermaids' silvery scales.'" The absence of an accompanying adult is questionable, but, taken at face value, the story is sunny and upbeat. Barrette's winsome, full-page watercolor illustrations reflect the cheerful tone of the outing. 作者简介： A native of Pointe-Claire, Quebec, author Jane Barclay has been writing since she was a child; early credits include "Cinderelish", an elementary school play that involved sock puppets and very bad singing! Luckily for all, Jane's writing has matured. She is also the author of "How Cold Was It?" and "Going on a Journey to the Sea".

The relationship between Oxford and the universtiy,or'town and gorn'as they are known colloquially,has been one of reciprocal development,and often of tension,since the beginnings of university in the early Middle Ages.The town's origins derive from Saxon times,when is was a walled enclosure with a grid layout,probably planned.The approxi-mately square shape of that enclosure,centred on Carfax,is still discern-ible in the present-day street plan.Oxford's importance was as a settlement on a north-south trade route,protected to the south,east and west by marshes and rivers-it is named after a ford through one of the rivers.After the unification of England,when Oxford ceased to be a part of the defensive system against the Danes,it became England's third largest town,London and Winchester.

Six states, a city called Boston, and home of the original Yankees - that's New England. It can claim to be the first clearly-defined region of the United States, without which there might not be a United States. Tucked away in the northeast corner of" the land, closest to the country that gave it its name, England, it was from New England that the earliest revolutionary talk came and where the first shot was fired in the American Revolution. To look at some of" these perfect pastoral landscapes today, New England hardly has the look of revolutionary fervor, although the area still has a reputation for political individuality. That applies to some states more than others, of the six that make up New England: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island andVermont. The region's largest center is Boston, always a maverick among American cities. It probably has more nicknames than any other city in the States, known among other things as The City on the Hill, The Athens of America, The
