地理课堂的“味道”

最近,央视少儿频道播出一则广告,几位小朋友正在房间里玩耍,一位母亲为他们端来了几杯白开水,孩子们看见了立刻躲了起来,有的藏进了衣框,有的钻到了床底下,有一位小朋友最无奈,没来得及躲,只得站在原地,紧紧地闭起双眼,嘴中念念有词：“看不见我,看不见我”。母亲见状,笑着将白开水换成了果汁饮料,孩子们见了纷纷跳了出来,欢呼雀跃,刚才最无奈的小朋友一连喝了四杯,还不过瘾。反差如此强烈,这就是味道的魅力。     

言论

上幼儿园后,把天真弄丢了;上小学后,把童年弄丢了;上初中后,把快乐弄丢了;上高中后,把思想弄丢了;上大学后,把追求弄丢了;毕业后,把专业弄丢了;工作后,把锋芒弄丢了;恋爱后,把理智弄丢了;按揭后,把下半生弄丢了。——我们丢了什么你意识到"恶"很强大,你奈何不了它,那怎么办?一条路是逃开,躲到什么角落里去独善其身,一条路是继续反抗,但大多数人恐怕只能走     

老照片

如果非要去还原历史,恐怕只有照片最有发言权了。文字是含蓄的,记录的是被人咀嚼之后的东西。只有照片,真实地记录了原汁原味的历史,一张张泛黄的老照片,定格了历史的瞬间,凝固了流逝的岁月,铿锵有力的讲述着过往的峥嵘;一张张没有经技术处理的老照片,记录着当时真实的喜怒哀乐,看似暗淡无光,但是,却有一些东西在不知不觉间触动了我们的心灵。也许你流泪了,也许你震惊了,因为你被感动了。《西部资源》的"老照片"栏目,带您一同寻访地质勘查的那些人,那些年,那些事……     

沙产业的发展历程和前景分析

南极格罗夫山陨石的分类及其研究意义

陨石是来自地球之外的岩石样品,是研究太阳系的起源与演化的重要窗口。半个多世纪以来,国际上在南极冰盖上发现了大量陨石样品,证实了南极是地球上最重要的陨石富集区。1998年中国首次在格罗夫山地区发现南极陨石,经过4次南极考察,共收集陨石样品9834块。这不但填补了中国在该领域的空白,也为中国积累了大量珍贵的科学样品。目前,中国先后6年开展了陨石分类研究工作,并取得了显著进展:(1)完成了684块陨石的分类命名,其中发现了许多特殊类型陨石,如火星陨石、橄辉无球粒陨石、碳质球粒陨石等;(2)初步建立了陨石库和资源共享网络平台;(3)通过南极系统分类研究,建立了南极陨石分类程序、样品管理和申请程序;(4)通过国内陨石分类合作研究,培养了一批年轻专业人才。     

常规教研“不常规”——采芳辟蹊径，为有花木深

【题记】我们习惯了埋头工作,习惯了自己学习研究,也习惯了检查督导,我们习惯了很多很多……现在我们得习惯交流,习惯相互学习和不断创新。     

美国史话:淘金热与西部拓荒者

美国内战于1865年结束后不久,成千上万的美国人开始涌向西部,开发那里大片的土地。这一大规模的西部拓殖运动持续了将近40年。原本广袤荒芜的西部没过多久就住满了移民。而在加利福尼亚发现的金矿也吸引很多人去淘金。人们怀着发财梦涌向金矿,虽然少数人找到了金子,但等待大部分人的只有艰苦的工作和高昂的物价。身上的钱都花光了之后,他们放弃了寻找黄金的梦。但他们留在了加州,成了当地的农民、生意人或劳工。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
