当大气中的空气在我们上方旋动，光线穿过大气层，从太空照射到地球，并且往不同方向折射，这样便形成了涟漪般的效应，这就好像你看着水底下的东西，或是在夏天里望着炙热的马路，道理是一样的。所以，在我们眼中，星星在闪烁。
As the air in the earth’s atmosphere swirls around over our heads, the light passing through it from space to earth is continually bent in different directions. This causes a rippling effect, like when you observe something underwater, or look down a hot road in the summer. To our eyes, the stars appear to twinkle.

You can’t catch a cub without going into the tiger’s den.
You think you lost your horse? Who knows, he may bring a whole herd back to you someday.
You won’t help shoots grow by pulling them up higher.
You can’t expect both ends of a sugar cane are as sweet.
Your fingers can’t be of the same length.

Shanghai plans to monitor the changing unemployment figures with an early warning mechanism this year, said an official with the municipal government Tuesday.
“One of the major tasks for our bureau this year is to establish a mechanism for unemployment early warning,” said Bao Danru, vice director of the municipal Labor and Social Security Bureau.
Shanghai, the economic powerhouse of China, has seen an unemployment rate of 4.3 percent.
Bao said that the statistics department will arrange a survey covering about 20,000 households by interviewing them twice a year on issues such as family members’ occupations, income and living conditions, in order to get a better picture of the employment tendency in the city whose population is more than 17 million.
Experts will be invited to assess government economic policies, and analyze their impacts on employment structure, according to Bao.
He also noted that a database on laborers will be set up, which will follow the latest fluctuations in the numbers of the laid-off, unemployed and pensioners.
