　　本报记者陈雪频实习记者唐翔发自上海 　　一家刚刚成立两年的网络支付公司，它的目标是成为市值100亿美元的上市公司。 　　这家公司叫做快钱，说这句话的是快钱的CEO关国光。他之前曾任网易的高级副总裁，负责过网易的上市工作。对于为什么选择第三方支付作为创业方向，他曾经对媒体这样说：“我能看到这个胡同对面是什么，别人只能看到这个胡同。”自信与狂妄只有一步之遥——这几乎是所有创业者的共同特征，是自信还是狂妄也许需要留待时间来考证。 　　对于市值100亿美元的上市公司，他是这样算这笔账的，“百度上市时广告客户数量只有4万,而且它所做的只是把客户吸引过来，就可以支撑起现有的庞大市值；而我们几年后的客户数量是几千万，而且这些客户都是能直接带来利润的，说市值100亿美元一点都不夸张。” 　　这家公司2005年年底注册用户达到400万，计划今年注册用户突破1000万，号称是国内最大的第三方网络支付平台。“在美国跟支付相关的收入已经超过了所有商业银行本身利差收入的总和，我所查到的数据是3000亿美元，其中超过70％是个人消费者带来的收入。”关国光喜欢借用美国支付产业的现状与中国的情况进行比较。虽然美国和中国差异显著，但他坚信中国的第三方支付市场前景非常广阔。 　　便利和安全挑战网络支付 　　“你只需要一个手机号码或者一个邮件地址就可以网络支付。”在快钱的户外广告中这样写道，这和传统的需要银行账户才能进行网络支付的习惯形成了鲜明的对比。 　　然而这种支付模式和传统的网络支付并无本质的区别，因为每一个手机号码和邮件地址背后都会对应着一个账户——这个账户可以是信用卡账户、借记卡账户，也包括邮局汇款、手机代收、电话代收、预付费卡和点卡等多种形式。 　　“快钱的功能其实就相当于融合了很多交易工具的VISA卡，所以又被称为网络VISA。”关国光说，“从本质上讲，我们和VISA等采用的底层技术是没有差别的，我们和它的区别在于VISA卡面对的交易工具比较单一，而快钱面对的是多种分散的交易工具。” 　　因为“信用缺位”，网络支付一直是困扰中国电子商务发展的瓶颈之一。网络支付平台相当于“信用缺位”条件下的“补位产物”，它把众多的银行卡整合到一个页面端口，以支付公司作为信用中介，在买家确认收到商品前，代替买卖双方暂时保管货款。 　　目前最知名的网络支付平台包括阿里巴巴的支付宝和eBay的Paypal（贝宝）。关国光表示，快钱最大的特点是第三方的支付平台，主要客户为那些中小公司。这些网络支付平台的主要业务是针对母公司的，不太可能被其母公司同行使用。 　　“而用户可以选择使用从银行卡、邮政汇款到点卡、预付费卡的各种支付方式，快钱平台对人口和支付工具的覆盖都非常广泛，这是我们创新的地方。”关国光告诉《第一财经日报》。 　　交易的安全性是网上支付平台最大的问题。关国光说：“快钱采用了各种机制来保证用户资金的安全性，例如回款机制等，可以在用户付款过程由于各种意外因素中止或未完成时，系统将用户账户自动回复到交易开始时的原始状态。”除此之外，快钱也建立了一系列监控机制，有问题的交易系统会被强制暂停两天以供审查。内部财务方面则遵守相互监督的原则，不会让任何一个人参与主导交易全程。在交易的识别方面，快钱有一套交易过滤引擎，可以识别出较明显的问题交易行为。 　　增值服务：网络支付的撒手锏 　　在关国光看来，快钱平台可以提供详细的用户行为记录，进而方便商户掌握用户的喜好和需要。这种增值服务对于支付平台至关重要。 　　在市场推广方面，快钱公司市场推广的目标就是让用户知道快钱这个品牌，然后将精力集中在核心应用上。“快钱的策略就是同主流应用相捆绑，致力同大厂商合作，因为目前大型门户所掌握的用户资源是相当多的。” 　　“我们不必去强迫用户使用快钱，因为网络支付只是交易过程中的一个附加品，单推一个支付平台是没有效果的。”关国光表示，“快钱的策略就是要找准交易，捆绑和依托在上面，用户在进行电子交易时，自然而然就会用到我们的支付平台。” 　　除此之外，快钱的策略是先稳定一批活跃用户后，再将目光放到普通用户上。关国光把快钱的营销模式称为非线型营销，“一个注册用户在支付交易中往往会带入一个未注册用户，用户之间的互动会形成网络效应。” 　　从创业开始，快钱的商业模式就没有变化过。“快钱的后端绝不做应用。”关国光信誓旦旦地表示。他认为一旦快钱做了应用，将面临更多的竞争对手，同时也违背了自己独立的第三方支付平台的市场定位。 　　快钱未来的梦想是：首先，将所有的支付工具整合为一个接口，随着流量的增加，给商户带来的价值是一样的，但成本更低。其次，快钱拥有用户的详细数据资料，可以实现数据库营销，为客户提供增值服务，例如支持客户的促销、推广等，或者为客户创造商业机会。 　　2005年8月，快钱公司获得美国DCM和半岛基金的首批风险投资，第二轮目前还在评估之中。关国光表示，对快钱来说，融资是一件水到渠成的事情，是最后考虑的问题。快钱挑选风投的条件只有两个，一是必须在中国有过投资；二是在中国的投资必须取得过成功。 　　“电子支付行业是一个入行容易、生存难的行业，”关国光说，“任何企业要在这个领域取得成功，就必须脚踏实地地认真去做，绝不能抱着投机的心理。”

　　“想让品牌更快、更广地进入消费者，大众传媒仍然是很好的选择。”智威汤逊全球CEO Michael Maedel近日在上海的办公室告诉《第一财经(相关:理财 证券)日报》。他对有些人“电视、平面媒体失去意义”的观点不以为然。 　　智威汤逊是美国最大的广告公司之一，与奥美广告一起隶属于WPP集团，3月底刚刚收购了中国本土的上海奥维思市场营销服务公司。 　　大众媒体和互动媒体对半 　　针对新的媒体方式日益涌现，企业广告主投放广告越来越无所适从的情景，Michael认为，广告主应该进行定性定量的分析，使任何投放都有清晰的出发点：消费者。要让媒介触及消费者，使他们更愿意来倾听公司。 　　当然，在媒介越来越多的情形下，意味着传播方式的变化。过去主流的是大众传播，现在互动性和定制性带来了新的挑战——如何让品牌与消费者更加互动。 　　智威汤逊东北亚区域总监兼大中国区CEO唐锐涛则认为，中国面临两个挑战：品牌主张明确化和如何深化与消费者的关系。 　　他认为，大众品牌并未失去其价值，借助大众媒体可以清楚地传达品牌的真实含义。而在此基础上，还需要更新的形式使产品和消费者的关系进一步深化。通过互动媒体，可以将以往被动的关系变成主动对话的消费者关系。 　　唐锐涛的经验法则是，在进行投放的时候，大众媒体和新媒体“对半开”，前者致力于建立品牌，后者用于深化与消费者关系。 　　同时，产品根据消费者参与的程度也分为高消费者参与度产品和低消费者参与度产品。使用媒介取决于产品本身的复杂度。如饼干等不假思索就购买的产品，大众媒体作用比较大。汽车等奢侈品需要增加对话和互动，让消费者深入这个品牌。 　　全球品牌，本土特色 　　Michael特别强调品牌的全球定位和本地表述。他提到，即便广告主是洗衣机，在各个市场，洗衣机的价格跟消费者的工资比例不一样，有些市场用2天的工资就可以买一台，而有些市场，消费者需要用自己三个月的工资才能购买到。这样的情况下，消费者的参与度就完全不一样了。那些用三个月工资才能买得起洗衣机的人会花更多时间去了解产品的性能是否耐用，这跟成熟市场完全不同。 　　“本地化并不意味着把全球广告翻译成中文，这是一种拙劣的方式。”Michael 称。 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000008/13.txt ================================================ 　　　新华网上海5月10日电 中国石化集团上海工程有限公司最近与中石化第二建设公司、荷兰AK公司组成联合体，一举成为沙特延布年产40万吨聚乙烯和40万吨聚丙烯生产装置项目的总承包商，总承包金额7.5亿美元，其中上海工程公司承包金额4.65亿美元。 　　 据《解放日报》报道，目前，沙特石化项目的基础设计工作已接近尾声，其中上海工程公司派出20多人赴荷兰参与设计。项目详细设计工作将于年底结束。明年年初施工开始，直至2008年4月竣工。这期间，大批中国设备、材料将运往红海岸边，四五百名中国技术、管理和施工人员将奋战在异国土地上。 　　两年前，上海工程公司得知沙特基础工业公司决定在红海西岸的延布建设大型石化联合企业，而AK公司正参与其中部分装置的竞标。权衡利弊，上海工程公司决定放弃单打独斗而与AK公司携手，提出三方组成联合体参与竞标的设想。中外三方过去在其他项目上多次合作，相互知根知底，因此一拍即合，很快签订合作协议参与竞标。如此优势互补，果然在竞标时将所有对手远远地抛在了身后。 　　根据总承包合同，荷兰AK公司负责项目基础设计，上海工程公司派人参与；项目详细设计由上海工程公司负责完成，AK公司给予支持。项目主要设备、仪表、主要电气设备，由AK公司负责采购，其余设备和大宗材料由上海工程公司负责采购，项目施工由第二建设公司负责实施。 　　上海工程公司是一家具有53年历史的国内大型工程设计承包企业，先后成功完成了上海化工区总体规划设计，上海石化、扬子石化、杜邦纤维等国内外4000多项设计和承包工程。 ================================================ FILE:

年就达到了75亿元，年均复合增长率为102.7%。艾瑞预测2007年我国网上支付市场规模将达到人民币605亿元。 　　应该说在超过4亿个手机用户和1亿多网民支撑下，网上支付市场的想象空间无疑是巨大的。 　　对此，北京YeePay公司首席执行官唐彬甚至认为，支付需求现在已经是国内未被满足的最大需求。但2005年以前，作为结算支付主体的商业银行在面对大量低端商户支付业务时显然是一种不在乎、视而不见的态度。在这种情况下，商业银行选择向支付公司提供支付网关接口，将网上支付业务外包给支付公司，正如eNet硅谷动力商务运营部总监张磊所说的那样，支付公司成为商业银行支付业务的总代理商。 　　面对网上支付公司的崛起，商业银行开始觉醒起来，采取措施应对威胁；另一方面，网上支付公司也暴露出它监管上的弊病。原6688商城拖欠挪用商户结算款就是明例。 　　这个时候传出央行要在2006年出台《电子支付指引（第二号）》文件，即《支付清算组织管理办法》的消息，主要内容被认为是“关系到第三方支付公司的牌照发放”，据了解，在电子支付领域，牌照数量不会超过10张；对于清算体系，央行的原则是“以央行作为主导，商业银行作为主体，社会组织作为补充”，而以快钱公司为代表的第三方支付公司就属于“社会组织”。另一家第三方支付商好购公司总经理何明攀在接受《第一财经(相关:理财 证券)日报》采访时表示央行之所以要出台管理办法就是为了防止网上金融欺诈和无序竞争，规范网上支付市场。 　　易观国际认为，随着今年底金融业全面开放的大限临近，中国第三方支付市场的重组与洗牌将在所难免，在目前国内40家左右的第三方支付服务商中，至少有一半会出局。 ================================================ FILE:

　　设想一下，如果某家银行花了大力气进行品牌建设，可顾客每每面对的是铁栅栏后面一张冷冰冰的脸，敷衍推诿，甚至恶语相向，他们自然很难相信这家银行所作的品牌承诺，也会动摇对银行的信任 　　本报记者范松璐发自上海 　　在一个金融服务品牌提升研讨会上，扬特品牌欧洲的董事长TerryTyrrell饶有兴趣地展示了一些别出心裁的银行标志，从图案的设计中很容易发现为人们所熟悉的知名公司品牌的影子，比如麦当劳那个醒目的“m”和苹果电脑缺了口的苹果，而类似可口可乐的标志下，索性写着“CocaCash”，看到这些易于识别和引发联想的标志，台下观众发出一阵阵会心的笑声。 　　“当然，这些银行标志只是我的想象，不过，目前在金融服务业领域，有没有像这几家企业那样影响深远的品牌呢？恐怕还没有。”Terry说。在激烈的竞争环境中，弱势品牌可能会被猎食，不过，只知道掏钱购买弱势品牌、而并不能建立一个强大品牌的猎食者也未必能得到良好的投资回报。对现有的银行而言，建立自身的强势品牌适逢其时，而且相当重要。 　　应求与众不同 　　国内金融服务业暗流汹涌。2006年是中国进入WTO,承诺开放金融市场的关键一年，外资银行即将进入，竞争格局正发生变化，市场内部也萌生诸多影响零售银行业务成长的因素——高强度的经济发展、政府收缩对社会福利的补助、房屋私有率提高、人口日益老龄化、个人消费成为经济发展的关键动力，而且企业银行业务要利用总体性平衡来管理中小型企业贷款、开发收费产品。 　　讲到银行现存的症结，人们的第一反应往往是不良贷款比率偏高、风险评估实战经验不足、消费性金融产品缺失、企业管理标准不够完备等等。但另一方面，不容忽视的是，国内银行的品牌建设也存在某种滞后——鲜有差异化的品牌定位、品牌经营思维和以客户为本的鲜明形象，顾客感受到的环境和服务面目雷同，甚至干脆一模一样。扬特中国区创意总监黄鼎杰展示了一页图片，是某家知名商业银行的营业厅，“能看出来这是哪一家银行吗？”的确，对多数人来说，只能感觉似曾相识，却基本无从分辨究竟是哪一家。 　　再看银行的图标，如果把具体的图案及字体隐去，会发现图标的颜色和形状极其接近，比如四大国有商业银行的图标都是圆形图案加上银行名字。“圆形，应该是钱币的意思，不过是否可以改换一下视觉形象，让自己更醒目些，区分性会带来更多机会。”黄鼎杰还展示了某家美国银行的营业厅照片，乍一看去，难以想象这居然会是银行，而更像一家前卫酒吧——设计活泼明快，各种独特有趣的细节点缀夺人眼球，还有咖啡台和上网的电脑，“在这样的银行里，等待也似乎不那么让人心焦了——不过这种风格在国内还是有些超前，可能很多人会不放心把钱放进去。”黄鼎杰觉得，毕竟大多数顾客对银行的期望还是以“专业、安全、权威”为主，在此基础上，如果适当加入更多“友善、亲切”的元素，会进一步提升银行在顾客心中的形象。比如在香港，大多数银行的保安并不穿制服，这些细节往往能拉近顾客的心理距离。 　　对银行来说，通过识别系统、广告活动等方式来建立品牌构造是远远不够的，必须有更高标准，还要更多地从感情上联结顾客，建立强烈的认同感。银行业正在掀起一场争取客户心智的战役。 　　别让冰山倾覆 　　Terry展示了一幅冰山的图片，在他看来，人们从外面感受一家企业，就如同看到露出海面的冰山，其中包括品牌的定位、个性、表述等方面，而水面以下深藏不露的更大部分则是企业自身对内的战略、愿景、价值和激励，这些是令品牌长久保持活力的源泉，作用更为关键，正所谓“吸引人的真实”（com p e llin g tru th）。露出水面的冰山可以吸引外界注意，但倘若缺少真实的根基，冰山终究难逃倾覆的命运。 　　很多企业在努力建立和管理品牌的时候，不觉间会犯一个错误，只把注意力聚焦在顾客身上，而忽略了对员工的沟通、了解和重视。 　　“如果不能把员工培养成忠实的内部品牌拥护者，那就太可惜了。”扬特中国区董事总经理Debora Chatwin 认为，前线员工应该成为真正的品牌大使，发挥独特能力，和顾客建立良好关系，给公司带来利润，自己也得到更大的满足。 　　员工投入度对公司的回报影响不可忽视，《星期日泰晤士报》在2002年一项“最佳雇主”调查中也指出，获得雇员好评的公司股价和股息收益增幅达25％，远高于同期英国全股指数6.3%的上涨幅度。再回到国内，盖勒普2004年进行了一项调查，将工作的人们分为“投入型”、“不投入型”、“积极投入型”三种类型，结果显示，有68%的人属于“不投入型”，对工作没有激情，觉得工作与自己个人关系不大，工作时几乎形同梦游。粗暴、冷漠、不满足的员工会伤及客户和公司自身，身处服务业的银行更是如此。 　　设想一下，如果某家银行花了大力气进行品牌建设，可顾客每每面对的是铁栅栏后面一张冷冰冰的脸，敷衍推诿，甚至恶语相向，他们自然很难相信这家银行所作的品牌承诺，也会动摇对银行的信任。许多国有商业银行在此方面可能需要多一些反思。“领导层的重视是使得员工与品牌紧密联结在一起的重要因素。”Terry表示。 　　“员工联结”修固品牌根基 　　银行的顾客细分、产品开发、风险管理都需要高水平的管理者和职员，有些人才要从外部市场引进并整合到银行的运营和文化中，这一点上，超越金钱奖励而创造积极向上的企业文化可能更为长远。 　　渣打银行在员工联结方面的努力产生了一定的效果，面对资源收缩、员工士气开始低落的现象，银行开展了名为“树立典范”（TaketheLead）的内部沟通计划，希望将所有人力资源和传播活动加以整合，清晰传递管理层的承诺，对员工进行积极有效的奖励，使他们重获工作的信心和自豪感，表现自己的领导才能。 　　计划的代言人是一个活泼的卡通人物“StarMan”（星仔），它的各种形象代表了各种“树立典范”的行动，力求将抽象鼓励变成具体榜样。渣打银行向高级经理们发放一套介绍计划的录像带和新的员工通讯录，贯彻名为“JustSayThankYou”（说句谢谢您）的员工表扬计划，用有“星”形象的卡片给努力工作的同事写谢谢，公司刊物也更名为“TheLeader”（典范）。另外，银行在对外的信息传递中也采用很多“星仔”标志，这一切都使员工对整个计划的印象不断深化，并逐步加强认同感。最终，顾客满意度显著上升，员工流失减少，对品牌内涵的理解更深。 　　“员工联结”不只是让大伙儿了解正在发生的事情，更要得到他们的投入和参与，与品牌之间产生一种紧密的情感。这样不仅能使冰山露出水面的部分看上去很美，深埋在水下、不易为人所见的真实根基也会更加牢固，做到这些，依靠银行自身长久的修为。 ================================================ FILE:

　　职位成功晋级，事业更上层楼，这是不少经理人的职业目标。然而，很多经理人努力打拼却依旧还在原地徘徊。 　　在竞争社会，当你不能升职的时候，要先考虑是企业体制的问题，还是你自己的问题。如果是体制问题，你可能根本就没有机会，完全可以选择主动离开。如果你周围的不少人都晋升了，那就该好好反省自己了。看看以下种种晋升“绝症”，是否有自己的身影呢？ 　　失语症——上司换了8个，我还是当绿叶 　　邓珉在一家知名房地产物业公司做行政人事主管，从2001年到现在，公司先后换了两任老总，换了8个项目经理，每个项目经理升职调走了，而她却一直在原地不动。让邓珉困惑的是，她要不停地适应新领导的管理风格，而且自己的发展空间有限。物业公司的行政人事工作并不复杂，她只要用30％的精力就足够应付得了。公司也一直认为邓珉是个老同志，比较稳定塌实，哪里需要就让邓珉过去。 　　“失语”诊断：邓珉一直在做默默无闻的“失语”绿叶，整整陪衬了8位上司。行政支持工作并不是最“抢眼”的红花，企业很容易把你定性。虽然你在公司给大家留下了不错的印象，但企业往往是哪里需要你，就把你往哪里搬。 　　药方：生意就是生意，经理人要更多地考虑自身的利益，衡量自己的投入和产出，千万别做赔本的买卖。想要晋升，就要勇于表现出来，要捅破这层窗户纸。第一，想要。第二，要做。第三，要让老板知道。一定要向老板提出你的想法，你可以结合企业的资源和现状来分析，要让老板意识到，你的确想要承担更大的责任。另外，表明你现有工作做得不错，你也有这样的能力。在企业环境相对稳定时，企业在重用一个人的时候，看重的不是能力，而是信任。这方面你有优势。 　　自闭症——就盯着自己的一亩三分地 　　一年前，业绩出色的路平被破格提升为企划经理，但他还是走业务路线，手底下没兵，只有一个助理协助他。他一直对市场企划总监这个职位心仪已久，没想到最后却被能力、业绩远不如自己的同事PK下来。 　　原来，一向喜欢单打独斗的路平总是有点各色，他只愿意盯准自己那一亩三分地。例会时，部门讨论其他市场活动方案，他总是一言不发。等到询问起他的意见时，他便说，“不好意思，我没来得及看。”平日的团队活动或是聚会，也难见他的身影。老板用人所长，结果导向，对路平也是睁一只眼闭一只眼。但同事们不免背后嘀咕，说路平小农意识。 　　“自闭”诊断：各色的路平眼里只有自己那一摊。在结果导向、业绩为王的公司，这样也许没错。但在晋升路上，过分的“自闭”会让上司有所顾虑，同事的反作用力也会断送你的晋升良机。 　　药方：职场中人人都是生意伙伴，上司、同事都是价值链上的客户和资源。只盘算着自己的眼前利益，往往会失去更多“商机”。路平要积极和同事们主动交往，能者多劳，既然你点子多，不妨多给同事们出一些好创意，而你在支持同事的同时，不仅获得了一个好人缘，进而也熟悉其他业务线，增强了自身的实力。如果其他业务线你也能轻松玩转的话，上司一定会给你更多机会的。 　　狂妄症——“我就愿意让别人听我的” 　　安妮是一家呼叫中心项目部的客服经理，她刚上任不久，就引起了下属的极度不满，而且被投诉到公司总部。 　　原来，安妮个性强势，上任后就进行了一系列改革，重新排班，规范服务，整顿流程等等。改革取得了一定成效，以前忙乱的客服工作逐渐变得有序，但安妮自己却引起了一片倒伐之声。当下属在外面忙得团团转时，她却在自己的单间里会客聊天，而且经常不来上班。而自由散漫的安妮对下属却是实施高压手段，用她的话来说，“我就愿意管人，让别人听我的。”她安排自己的亲信任职，监视其他下属言行，搞得员工怨声载道。几个月后，项目高管调整，其他几个项目的中层都获得了提升，惟独安妮没有新的发展空间，最终辞职而去。 　　“狂妄”诊断：安妮有着强烈的领导欲望，管理风格泼辣强悍，但她却忽略了接受方的感受。改革虽然初见成效，但她自己却难为表率，严人宽己的领导风格必然难以服众。 　　药方：狂妄的强权不是万灵药，身为管理者，安妮既是规则的制定者，也是规则的裁判，如果自己都处处破坏规则，一时的业绩也只能是短期效应。而下属员工是经理的供应商，水能载舟，也能覆舟，业绩是需要大家一起努力做出来的。安妮如果早些努力调试自己，采取一些柔性管理手段，避免激进改革，以身作则让员工口服心服，也不至于在项目调整时弄得丢盔卸甲。 　　多动症——不开心就跳，越跳越迷茫 　　30出头的汪力已经换了6家企业，现在一家IT企业任数码产品经理。年轻时为了薪水而跳，把跳槽当成涨薪的跳板，往往是这家企业还没彻底了断，就已经在下家开始领薪水。近一年来，汪力倒还算得上稳定，一直没什么非分之想。但上个月，公司的产品总监换成了一个台湾老板，对汪力似乎有些看不顺眼，重要业务会议不让他参加，一些产品的推广预算也卡得很紧。汪力感觉自己不被信任，正逐渐被边缘化，他又动了大不了走人的念头。 　　汪力把自己的简历给了一家猎头，没想到猎头却称，他跳槽频率过快，如果要晋升高职，希望并不大。如果平级跳，汪力又不甘心。 　　“多动”诊断：通常，猎头非常不喜欢频繁跳槽的人，因为频繁跳槽说明此人目标不清晰，对公司的忠诚度值得怀疑。汪力一直对自己期望较高，如果现实稍不如意，便有“弃暗投明”的念头。但频频转换，跳成了习惯，在每一个职位上都不能积累较多的资本，更谈不上为晋升打下坚实根基了。 　　药方：在猎头眼中，在一家公司中高层职位上干满3年的候选人是比较理想的。汪力如果认准了行业，就要努力埋头做下去，没有完美的企业和上司，你在这家企业被边缘化，如果不能咸鱼翻生的话，再换一家也同样如此。只有想清楚自己的目标，稳扎稳打，步步为营，用实在的业绩说话，下一个晋升机会才不会擦肩而过。 　　其他非典型晋升“绝症” 　　1.“红眼病”，容不得他人比自己能干，喜欢背后冷嘲热讽。 　　2.“营养不良”，知识和能力总是跟不上企业步伐。 　　3.“骨质疏松”，没有主见，人云亦云，就会做老好人。 　　…… 　　第N种：“抑郁症”，非黑即白，抱怨连连却缺乏行动力。 　　(文章出自：前程无忧〈人力资本〉杂志) ================================================ FILE:

　　曹国伟此前是新浪总裁兼CFO（首席财务官）。他于1999年加入新浪，任主管财务的副总，之后任职CFO、CFO兼COO（首席运营官）。曹国伟先后获得复旦大学新闻学学士、美国奥克拉荷马大学新闻学硕士学位，1993年获德国奥斯町大学商业管理学院财务专业硕士学位后，任职普华永道。其人被外界评价为强势的鹰派管理风格，曾获《首席财务官》杂志和IDG中国共同评选的“2005年度杰出CFO”。 　　外界认为，由曹国伟主导的2003年1月收购讯龙、2004年3月收购深圳网兴科技，这两笔收购不仅奠定了新浪此后在无线增值业务上的地位，同时也增加了新浪经营模式的多样性与稳定性，对新浪意义非凡。新浪董事会对公司2005年以来业绩的滑坡、非广告业务收入下滑感到忧虑，希望曹国伟能够力挽狂澜，加强新业务的拓展。 　　汪延于2003年5月取代茅道临出任新浪CEO。有关新浪再次换帅的传闻，起于去年下半年。昨晚新浪内部一名高层人士证实，今天在发布财务季报的同时，宣布人事变动. ================================================ FILE:

经过两天的专家评审，由中国文物报社和中国考古学会主办的“2005年度全国十大考古新发现”昨天晚上7点正式揭晓。25个参与评选的入围项目中，浙江嵊州小黄山遗址、湖南洪江高庙遗址等10个考古项目最终成功入选,北京门头沟东胡林遗址遗憾落选。 　　评选已延续16年 　　主持此次评选的中国考古学会理事长徐苹芳介绍，十大考古新发现开评至今已经是第16年，此次考古新发现评选从今年1月启动。与去年由各地申报不同的是，今年采取专家根据中国文物报发表资料遴选的办法，由有关专家联合推荐入围项目。 　　入围项目的推荐充分考虑学术价值、是否推进学科发展、社会影响、发掘中的 文物保护意识等因素，同时综合时代和区域考古成果等，从2005年1—12月期间国家文物局批准发掘的100余项考古发现中，召集专家会议筛选出24项，涵盖旧 石器时代至宋元时期各个类型的文化遗存。只有 福建东海平潭“碗礁1号”清代沉船遗址是经两位以上专家推荐，直接申请参评的。 　　参评须经国家批准 　　“在16年的评选中，评选的标准至今没有改变。”徐苹芳介绍说，评选标准总结来说就是“三个价值”和“一个新”。 　　参评项目必须是经过国家批准，发掘过程也符合国家的考古发掘规程。而这些考古发现的项目必须在全国范围内具有突出的历史价值、艺术价值和科学价值。而“新”则是指在中国考古学科中增添了新的内容和发现，这些标准缺一不可。 　　评委“忍痛割爱” 　　此次入选的项目中多数属于年代较远的遗址，徐苹芳解释说，18名评委们并没有“厚古薄今”的意思，完全根据考古的价值来评判。但是由于2005年是中国考古的“丰收年”，参选的项目水平都相当高，因此评委们最终也不得不“忍痛割爱”。 　　希望社会关注文保 　　在评选过程中，许多参评项目的代表都对记者表示，参加评选是否能最终入选并不是最重要的，而只是希望以此引起社会对文物保护的关注。 　　考古专家张忠培表示，随着目前全国建设速度的加快，许多考古项目都是被迫“抢救”发掘出来的。因此，希望以评选的方式推动社会和政府关注文物古迹的保护，为国人留下更多的“遗产”。 　　十大考古新发现入选项目 　　1.浙江嵊州小黄山遗址 　　浙江省文物考古研究所 　　2.湖南洪江高庙遗址 　　湖南省文物考古研究所 　　3.贵州威宁中水遗址 　　贵州省文物考古研究所 　　4.河南鹤壁刘庄遗址 　　河南省文物考古研究所、鹤壁市文物工作队 　　5.福建浦城猫耳弄山商代窑群 　　福建省文物管理委员会考古队、福建省博物院考古研究所等 　　6.山西绛县横水西周墓地 　　山西省考古研究所等 　　7.陕西韩城梁带村两周遗址 　　陕西省考古研究所 　　8.江苏句容、金坛周代土墩墓 　　南京博物院考古研究所 　　9.河南内黄杨庄汉代聚落遗址 　　河南省文物考古研究所 　　10.山西大同沙岭北魏壁画墓

　　记者昨日从新浪获悉，汪延已经正式辞去CEO一职，曹国伟将接替汪延升任CEO，正式掌舵新浪。短时间内，从CFO到COO，到CEO，曹国伟的工作能力得到多方认可，出任新浪第四任掌门似乎并不出人意外。 　　著名网络评论人方兴东认为，对于本来就已经失去灵魂人物的新浪来说，曹国伟的当家很可能会走向一条更稳健、更务实的发展道路。但另有分析人士指出，即使曹国伟的务实作风有益于新浪，如果董事长段永基不离开，新浪仍然难逃厄运。以上分析人士解释说，作为新浪董事长的段永基却把主要精力花在了新浪之外的公司。 　　日前传闻中的新浪＋TOM模式将弥补新浪无线增值方面的不足。记者从可靠渠道了解到，曹国伟接任CEO后还将继续带领新浪与TOM集团洽谈。“其实双方的谈判没有停止过，只是在有些细节上的分歧致使双方迟迟没有谈成。”该人士透露。 　　新浪将在美国当地时间5月9日公布第一季度财报，分析师预计新浪第一季度营收为4590万美元，每股收益为0.15美元，同比下滑25%%。在所有研究新浪股票的分析师中，有五位对新浪的评级为“买入”，有八位的评级为“持有”，有两位的评级为“卖出”。 　　新浪5月8日收盘于28.52美元，比上一交易日上涨0.07%%。

美国宇航局官员近日说，宇航局已决定设立一项总奖金为２５０万美元的大奖赛，希望用这种方式选出未来登陆月球的飞行器设计方案。 　　美宇航局副局长戴尔5月5日在加利福尼亚州举行的一次航天会议上说，宇航局已选定“Ｘ大奖”基金会管理这项竞赛，宇航局除了出奖金外，也将在未来的月球登陆计划中应用获奖方案。 　　这项大奖赛要求参赛者设计出能在月球上飞行、着陆的飞行器原型。“Ｘ大奖”基金会说，它将比赛分成两个级别，在地球上模拟月球飞行。第一阶段，参赛飞行器要求从地球上的发射点发射到５０米高度，盘旋飞行９０秒钟，并在距发射点１００米处的指定地点着陆，比赛的第一名将获得３５万美元奖金。 　　而第二级别的难度高得多。参赛飞行器要求从发射点发射至５０米高度，盘旋飞行１８０秒，并在１００米外类似月球表面的一处崎岖地点精确着陆。这项比赛的第一名将获得１２５万美元的奖金，其方案很可能被宇航局采纳，作为未来登陆月球的飞行器的原型。 　　“Ｘ大奖”基金会因举办私人设计航天器大奖赛而著名，著名航天设计师伯特·鲁坦设计的“宇宙飞船一号”于２００４年成功地飞入亚轨道，成为全世界第一个私人设计建造的航天器，并赢得了１０００万美元的“Ｘ大奖”。 ================================================ FILE:

　　4月29日，上海新望闻达律师事务所律师宋一欣、秦桢凯在中国证券网上发表了《向境内外科龙H股投资者征集民事赔偿诉讼代理的启事》，全面接受科龙电器流通H股及A股投资者的诉讼及仲裁委托代理事项。宋一欣律师告诉《上海证券报》记者，“《启事》刊登当天，就有H股股东前来咨询登记，由于五一长假，事务所休息，许多H股股东想方设法找到我的电子信箱同我联系。截至今天，已有七八位H股股东前来咨询、登记，所涉及股份己达50余万股，损失金额有待统计。这些H股股东中有境外居民。他们正焦急等待此案前置程序的满足。” 　　首位代表科龙股东状告德勤的上海市光明律师事务所南京分所律师涂勇则向记者透露：“多位科龙H股股东前来向我咨询起诉事宜。其中一位就持有150万股科龙H股，持股成本高达300多万元。他非常渴望前置程序能尽快满足，以便诉上公堂。” 　　据宋一欣介绍，“根据最高人民法院司法解释的规定，提起虚假陈述民事赔偿诉讼必须满足前置条件，即中国证监会或财政部的行政处罚决定，或有关法院认定有罪并生效的刑事判决书，两者以先出台者为准。” 　　“在科龙案中，中国证监会已经对科龙电器与德勤会计师事务所进行了行政处罚前的听证程序，如果没有意外，估计今年上半年内行政处罚决定将出台；而顾雏军编制虚假财务报告罪案已经被广东省佛山市人民检察院立案、即将提起公诉，刑事审判在即。因此，包括H股股东在内的科龙电器权益受损的投资者提起民事赔偿应该不成问题，只是需要等待，万事俱备、只欠东风。”宋一欣进一步解释道。 　　谈及此案的被告，宋一欣表示，“科龙电器虚假陈述可涉及很多被告，如科龙电器公司；顾雏军等原董事、高管人员及直接责任人员；存在失职的原监事会成员和独立董事；进行审计的会计师事务所（会计师行）及其承担责任的合伙人、相关注册会计师；由于虚假陈述而获益的关联企业、控股股东等。但主要被告有三，即科龙电器公司、顾雏军、德勤华永会计师事务所（A股股东）或德勤·关黄陈会计师行（H股股东）。” 　　宋一欣称，“证券民事赔偿诉讼应当采取目前《民事诉讼法》规定的共同诉讼方式，科龙案也是如此。以共同诉讼提起的原告由于合并后按比例计算诉讼费，故其支出的诉讼费要比单独诉讼提起的原告所支付的诉讼费要少。所以，作为代理律师，从投资者的角度考虑，我需要筹集到一定数量投资者委托后才安排起诉。”（本报记者 岳敬飞 何军）

　　近日，美国医药保健管理协会（ＰＣＭＡ）的一份评估报告指出，专利药厂家就老年人经常使用的专利药出台了一系列措施，试图限制仿制药厂商产销该类产品，通过诉讼、游说立法和专利成分陷阱等手段，力求最大程度延缓仿制药上市或进入联邦医疗保险体系。 　　ＰＣＭＡ代表医药管理公司如医疗保险业的利益。该协会会长ＭａｒｋＭｅｒｒｉｔｔ表示，专利药厂家正努力在未来5年内阻止若干仿制药上市，从而换回高达230亿美元的专利药销售额。据该协会的统计，到2010年有大约14支老年人常用药的专利将到期，如果仿制药如期面市，仅通过仿制降胆固醇药舒降之和普拉固、抗抑郁药左洛复、前列腺药保列治就可能为美国联邦医疗保险节约130亿美元。 　　代表美国专利药制造商利益的美国药品研究与制造商协会（ＰｈＲＭＡ）反驳了Ｍｅｒｒｉｔｔ的指责，指出联邦医疗保险预算正在逐年下降，而且仿制药的使用率非常高，处方药中有一半以上是仿制药，证明专利药厂家没有操纵市场，限制仿制药出台。 　　代表不同利益的两家行会组织都在表达一个共同的意思就是——专利药厂家和仿制药厂家针锋相对。而实际上，专利药厂家和仿制药厂家私下里也有同盟之时。 　　4月24日，美国ＦＤＡ表示，近期将开展一项市场舞弊行为的调查。ＦＤＡ指出，专利药厂家和仿制药厂家通过签定赔偿协议，主动延迟仿制药的上市时间，或控制面市药物数量，以商业合同的形式钻法律的空子，使专利药厂家继续获得高额利润，而仿制药企业则从专利药厂家手中获得现金回报。 　　专利药和仿制药之间的法律斗争由来已久，专利药厂家和仿制药厂家都逐渐意识到这是一场制药工业的内耗。1999年，诞生了第一份由专利药厂家向仿制药厂家“购买”推迟仿制药物上市承诺的赔偿协议。专利药厂家可以因此维持销售额和利润，仿制药企业一方面可以获得稳定的收入，一方面可借机压缩仿制药领域内竞争对手的市场空间。 　　美国联邦贸易委员会披露，去年9月先后有3份赔偿协议生效，之后又至少签订了6份类似的赔偿协议。最近发生的两起判决更是催化了制药企业签订类似协议的热情。 　　其中一宗涉及年销售额38亿美元的赛诺菲－安万特公司产品波立维，该产品在美国市场上由百时美施贵宝公司销售。赛诺菲－安万特公司和百时美施贵宝公司与仿制药公司Ａｐｏｔｅｘ签定了赔偿协议。根据协议，Ａｐｏｔｅｘ公司将所研制的波立维仿制药上市时间延后至2011年，同时得到一笔赔偿金，赔偿金额没有披露。这份协议的签订意味着，美国纳税人还要继续支付高额药费长达5年。第一只仿制药上市将平均导致原专利药价格缩水40％，市场独享期后，其他仿制药上市将使原专利药价格平均再缩水20％～40％。联邦贸易委员会正在考虑如何对这一协议作出反应。另一起协议涉及先灵葆雅公司，联邦贸易委员会已经要求最高法院巡回法庭给予驳回。联邦贸易委员会表示，如果巡回法庭没有驳回该协议，将导致专利药厂家和仿制药厂家随意限制竞争，操纵市场，分享暴利。 　　联邦贸易委员会已经向白宫管理与预算办公室提交报告，希望获准对多达200家制药企业发出传票，彻底调查类似的赔偿协议是否触犯了反竞争法。但就目前各制药企业强大的游说力量而言，落实反竞争调查的难度相当大。 　　仿制药增长势不可挡 　　在未来5年里，仿制药市场的成长趋势不可抵挡。ＩＭＳ的分析数据显示，在未来5年中，仿制药的销售额将以14％～17％的速度递增，比整个医药行业的销售预期多9％。Ｂａｉｎ＆Ｃｏｍｐａｎｙ公司认为，仅2008年就将有价值780亿美元的处方药受到仿制药的冲击，而2005年这个数字为200亿美元。 　　仿制药获得发展的另一个原因是政府的青睐。美国联邦医疗保健和医疗补助服务中心（ＣＭＭＳ）降低了2006年的医疗开支预算，从381亿美元减缩至305美元。在经济发展不畅的时候，美国政府格外希望看到更多便宜的仿制药上市，以缓解联邦预算压力。 　　这个夏天，辉瑞公司年销售额达33亿美元的抗抑郁畅销药左洛复将失去专利保护，受到仿制药冲击后，年销售额预计为4．7亿美元。仿制药大户泰华公司更愿意自己掌握市场，而不是通过赔偿协议获得利润。泰华美国公司发言人ＫｅｖｉｎＭａｎｎｉｘ说，泰华公司已经获准第一个推出左洛复的仿制药，泰华公司将有6个月的市场独享期。 　　生物制药领域可能成为新的仿制药冲击市场。美国没有批准生物仿制药，但在美国以外生物仿制药有较为显著的发展。 　　美国不得不正视生物仿制药市场的前景。首先，生物制药市场庞大，2005年销售总额大约310亿美元，市场空间相当可观。其次，生物制剂复杂程度远高于化学制剂，仿制成本和难度相当高，因而对美国主要生物制药企业的冲击不至于非常严重，也就不会动摇美国在全球的生物领先地位。据统计，生物仿制药的对原药物的价格影响只有10％～20％，而化学制剂则高达80％。此外，如果不及时拓展生物仿制药市场，那么欧洲生物制药行业将快速发展，赶超美国，并通过对美国生物制剂的仿制，分流美国制药企业的利润。 　　或成寡头垄断局面 　　经过几年的发展，仿制药市场有可能从市场竞争阶段进入寡头垄断阶段。在未来几年出现大量专利药到期的情况下，这一现象有可能加剧。 　　咨询公司ＴｈｏｍｓｏｎＩＢＥＳ的分析资料显示，泰华公司在未来3～5年中可能保持20％的惊人年收入增幅，2006年的市营率预期为21，接近理想状态的20，而同行业平均市营率是24。泰华公司目前拥有多达160个左右的简化申请新药备案，其中也包括若干生物药物的仿制药报批内容。2006年度，泰华公司有望把持美国仿制药市场20％的份额。泰华公司的目标集中在未来5年内几乎所有制药行业将要失去专利、目前市场价值高达1000亿美元的药物，这些药物的仿制药市场价值至少为200亿美元。 　　其他有望成为寡头的仿制药企业中，Ａｎｄｒｘ公司2006年的市营率预期为24，每股收益增幅预期为19％，销售额预期为11．03亿美元，公司的市场价值为17．5亿美元；Ｂａｒｒ公司2006年的市营率预期为19，每股收益增幅预期为16％，销售额预期为12．81亿美元，公司的市场价值为64．47亿美元；Ｍｙｌａｎ公司2006年的市营率预期为18，每股收益增幅预期为19％，销售额预期为12．46亿美元，公司的市场价值为46．31亿美元；Ｐｅｒｒｉｇｏ公司2006年的市营率预期为22，每股收益增幅预期为10％，销售额预期为14．61亿美元，公司的市场价值为15．55亿美元；华生公司2006年的市营率预期为20，每股收益增幅预期为10％，销售额预期为18．71亿美元，公司的市场价值为30．98亿美元。

　　万络给止痛药市场带来的阴霾久久仍未散去，但这丝毫不能说明该市场的需求在减少。在既定的需求现实下，ＣＯＸ－２抑制剂的衰落，必然引来趁虚而入者。不久前我国河南帅克制药和贵州益佰先后宣称将倚靠新的止痛药进入该领域，一场“分羹”之战显然已经急促展开。 　　潜力巨大的镇痛药市场一直是跨国公司的天下，而最近它们的优势地位正经受挑战，其缘由是２００４年８月份王牌止痛药万络爆出安全性问题引发了市场对新型非甾体止痛药的不信任感。 　　去年９月万络自动撤出我国后腾出了巨大的市场空间，引起了众多企业的觊觎，去年５月１３日，中美史克曾经发起“霞光行动”，试图从困境中挽救其ＯＴＣ王牌药芬必得，但更多的国内企业则尽量避开身处安全性危机旋涡中的ＣＯＸ－２抑制剂领域，希望从新的镇痛领域入手找到征战止痛药市场的新武器。 　　不久前我国河南帅克制药和贵州益佰先后宣称将倚靠新的止痛药进入这个潜力仅次于感冒药的新领域，据帅克制药董事长张克军透露，帅克开发的止痛新药氨酚曲马多片即将上市。据记者了解，该产品也是今年西安杨森力推的重点产品。而贵州益佰方面则透露，该公司将凭借一种止痛中药来分切国内巨大的止痛药市场。 　　显然，一场新的止痛药市场“分羹”大战已经打响。 　　止痛药市场依然是金矿 　　分析人士指出，尽管目前使用最多的ＣＯＸ－２抑制剂正遭遇安全性危机，但对于整个止痛药并不构成影响，此事件的最大可能是各大类止痛药由此进行一轮市场替代，而与此同时，整个市场还在继续增长。 　　中国已经步入老龄化社会，中老年人口约有５亿。风湿和类风湿关节炎、肩周炎、颈椎病、骨质增生等疾病在老年甚至中年人群中属于常见病、多发病，各类疼痛病症患者约占中老年群体的６５％，而且这一群体数量还在不断的增加。 　　另外，随着我国制造业大国地位的不断提升，产业工人数量急剧膨胀，长期的劳作容易导致各种机体劳损和关节疼痛，因此，该群体已经成为疼痛药物消费的另一个大群体。由于电脑等工具的引入，人们的工作和生活方式已经发生了根本的改变，长期的静坐催生了这一人群各种疼痛的出现，这是导致疼痛人群增长的又一个重要因素。 　　据ＩＭＳ国际咨询公司预测，２００５年，全球止痛剂市场总量达８００亿美元以上。目前，美国、欧洲和日本是全球最大的止痛药市场，过去３０年来止痛药市场销售额一直在稳步上升。国内的资料也显示：我国非处方药市场上止痛药增长迅速，其销售仅次于感冒药，大约占到了２０％的比例。 　　与此同时，目前医学更加注重病人的生活质量，对患各种疾病引起的疼痛的治疗也催生了新的止痛药市场。以癌症疼痛为例， 　　据我国卫生部统计数据显示，２０世纪９０年代我国肿瘤发病率已上升为１２７例／１０万人。近年来我国每年新增肿瘤患者１６０万～１７０万人，死于恶性肿瘤人数达１４０万人，肿瘤患者总数估计在４５０万人左右。肿瘤患者中至少有１／３存在着不同程度的疼痛，其中晚期患者占６０％～９０％。 　　市场加速洗牌 　　由于止痛药使用领域及其广泛，所以各类药物的使用不能一概而论，但就医院处方板块分析，目前主要有四大类镇痛药，分别为阿片类镇痛药、非甾体类镇痛药、植物类镇痛药以及抗偏头痛制剂。非甾体类镇痛药原本是被寄予了厚望，在万络以及西乐葆等一批新型药物的带动下整个市场发展趋势非常喜人。１９９８年，全国１４个典型城市入网医院的非甾体抗炎药购药金额为９９０３．３万元，到２００２年已经增长至１４０２２．３万元（见表１）。 　　不过由于非甾体类镇痛药的安全性问题，其市场有逐渐下滑的趋势，而阿片类药物则有上升的势头，相互市场取代现象比较明显。以使用较多的癌症镇痛为例，在２００２～２００４年样本医院镇痛类药物使用情况（见表２）中，阿片类镇痛药的市场分额由２００２年的６２．４％上升到２００４年的６８．４％。而非甾体类镇痛药的份额却从２００２年的３４．４％下跌至２００４年的２９．２％。 　　在阿片类镇痛药中，目前主要由曲马多、芬太尼和吗啡３大品种领衔，这三大品种占整个阿片类药品使用金额的７０％以上（见附图）。 　　芬太尼为人工合成的非衍生物类阿片药片，属于强阿片类镇痛药，ＷＨＯ将它归入第三阶梯镇痛药，其主要通过激动阿片类受体（μ受体）而发挥镇痛作用，止痛作用为相同剂量吗啡的５０～１００倍。吗啡主要用于晚期癌症患者第三阶梯止痛。从市场趋势来看，曲马多增长后劲十足，该产品是胺苯环醇类人工合成弱阿片类药物，镇痛强度在同等剂量时，相当于吗啡的１／５，但明显强于其他非类固醇抗炎药，适用于中、重度癌性疼痛，被ＷＨＯ列为癌痛三阶梯止痛治疗的第二阶梯推荐药物。该药与阿片受体的亲和力比吗啡弱６０００倍，基本不存在成瘾性，可以长期使用，因此在治疗剂量下，不产生呼吸抑制，不影响心血管功能，也不产生便秘、排尿困难等不良反应。由于该药的管制相对较松，除可以用于癌症疼痛的治疗外，还可以在骨关节炎、腰椎间盘突出症、肩关节周围炎、创伤、手术后疼痛和骨质疏松症所致的腰腿痛中使用。该类药在医保目录中属乙类药物，目前癌痛临床应用中多为缓释片。 　　复合使用药物增长势头明显 　　目前镇痛药市场还有一个明显的趋势就是越来越强调联合用药，根据２００５年前三季度典型医院用药情况显示，一些复合使用的药物增长势头明显，像氨基比林＋安替比林＋巴比妥，克痛宁＋曲马多＋布洛芬，羟考酮＋对乙酰氨基酚等。 　　张克军也认为，鉴于止痛新药不断遭受安全性问题，复方用药将是镇痛药今后新产品开发的一个重要方向，一些新型的复方产品正显示良好的市场前景，目前选择的重点就是将一些原来在临床使用多年，疗效确切，安全性高的药组合在一起。像最近上市的氨酚曲马多片就是由阿片类和非甾体类使用最久的盐酸曲马多和对乙酰氨基酚组合在一起的复方产品，临床研究证实该药主要用于缓解中度及重度疼痛，起效迅速，镇痛效果明显，无成瘾性，不良反应相比其单方制剂和其他参比制剂明显更低，该产品２００１年８月在美国由ＦＤＡ批准上市。西安杨森在去年将该药引进我国，目前正在力拓市场。鉴于该产品在我国无相关产权保护，河南帅克制药在国内企业中抢先仿制了这个产品。张克军透露，该产品目前已经上市，有望培养成为一个镇痛药的大品种，或许依靠新型复方制剂可以参与重新划分止痛药市场的格局。

　　三九医药（000999）和三九生化（000403）今日同时发布公告，三九医药转让三九生化38.11％股权事宜获得国资委批准，三九医药将所持有的三九生化6162.1064万股和1906.0936万股国有法人股分别转让给振兴集团有限公司和山西恒源煤业有限公司。 　　协议签订一年后，股权转让终于取得重大进展，也为三九集团的重组工作打下更坚实的基础。但在这一年中，三九生化却发生了大变化。 　　根据年报，三九生化2005年度亏损5.21亿元，而2004年亏损额为1.98亿元，同时，每股净资产由2004年的2.55元变为－0.05元，净利润和净资产发生大幅变动。但在双方签订的协议中，收购价格为每股2.55元。 　　某券商投行人士认为，由于当时双方所签的协议价格是以2004年的审计报告为依据的，时隔一年，公司的审计结果发生重大变化，如果仍然用2004年的审计结果来进行交易似乎并不合适。 　　也有业内人士认为，签订的协议具有法律效力，国资委的批准是协议生效的前提。如今既然已经获准，就应该按照协议的价格执行。 　　此前三九生化发布的2005年度报告被审计机构出具了非标意见，14位公司高管也对年报表示质疑。围绕股权转让，相关各方不知是否还会发生争议。但业内人士评价，对公司而言，股权顺利转让，让公司步入正常发展的轨道，这才是最重要的。

　　治理医药购销领域商业贿赂专项工作于3月底在全国拉开帷幕之后，各地卫生行政部门积极贯彻中央精神，部署专项治理工作。近来，广东省许多医务人员突然收到手机短信或者信件，被告知希望其认真自查自纠，将收受的红包和回扣款项主动上缴汇入某个指定账号，争取宽大处理。然而广东省卫生行政部门还没有设立回扣款上缴账户，更没有向医务人员发出过上缴款项的通知。为此，广东省卫生厅向全省的医疗机构和医务人员下发紧急通知，提醒谨防受骗上当。

　　深圳一家医院近日与当地银行合作，推出大额医疗“免息分期付款”的服务项目。患者只要在银行办理一张信用卡，在医院就部分项目治疗时可享受分期付款的优待，利息则由院方支付。 　　目前享有“免息分期付款”的对象被限定在有稳定经济来源的市民，而且医疗项目较窄。市民认为，大额医疗“免息分期付款”也应向困难市民推广，这样或可解决不能一次交足医疗费患者的一时之急，将付款压力分解，避免延误治疗。 　　医院替患者掏利息 　　对于在深圳工作不久的张先生来说，虽然每月有近7000元的稳定收入，但由于买房、买车实行的都是按揭贷款，每月的进账在支付银行贷款后虽有节余，但要一次性支付儿子两万多元的近视矫正手术费用，还存在资金不足的困难。 　　不过，张先生已经决定在儿子高考结束后，通过“免息分期付款”的方式，在某医院为儿子实行手术。根据医院新近推出的“免息分期付款”医疗服务项目，他只要在银行开个信用卡，银行先替他“埋单”，他今后只要在约定的期限内把银行的钱还上就行。 　　据率先在深圳市推出“免息分期付款”医疗服务项目的深圳某民营医院有关负责人介绍，近年来，在他们接诊的患者中，总有一些因为暂时费用问题不得不延缓治疗。因此他们一直在寻找一种能够解决这一问题的办法。当他们把这一想法与深圳市银联沟通时，立即得到了他们的支持，并决定联手推出“免息分期付款”服务。 　　仅两项医疗服务可享此待遇 　　与其他“按揭消费”不同的是，“免息分期付款”医疗服务手续极为简单，患者的诊疗费用只要在1500元至3万元之间，能支付首期600元的诊疗费，无需进行审批，刷一下约定银行的信用卡就可完成“贷款”过程。 　　医院推出的“免息分期付款”服务，近期还暂时限定在眼科的准分子近视矫正手术和口腔科的治疗项目上。该院有关负责人介绍说，这样做除了基于积累经验，为今后推广做准备，并最大限度地控制风险考虑外，主要是考虑到这两个项目的费用相对较高，不能一次性付款者相对较多。 　　无稳定收入难享“免息分期付款” 　　作为一种新的医疗服务方式，“免息分期付款”一推出就引起部分市民的兴趣，尽管服务项目目前还比较狭窄，市民认为将来完全可以向其他医疗服务项目推广。 　　记者了解到，目前能享有该项服务的还只是符合取得信用卡条件的患者。一般要有稳定的收入，收入低、真正困难的市民则因为不符合取得信用卡的条件，其大额手术暂难享此待遇。 　　院方表示，这样做主要是避免医院承担收款风险。 　　市民建议“穷人”治大病也可“分期付款” 　　市民王先生认为，最需要“免息分期付款”服务的是家庭困难而又不幸患大病、急病的患者。现实生活中，医院经常碰到一些本来可以治愈的病人，病治到一半，因为费用问题，只好请求出院回家。对这样的病人，出于对自身经济利益的考虑，大多数医院多采取听之任之的态度。 　　由于目前推行“免息分期付款”仅仅是民营医院，其“宣传”的意图还比较明显。希望国有医院也能考虑创新收费方式，真正让困难户也能看得起病。 　　王先生建议，医院与银行可以考虑让贫困户提供担保，如房产担保、亲友担保、社会团体担保等方式获得救急款项，再“分期付款”还款。通过这种付款方式，将付款压力分解，避免延误治疗。

　　牙防组事件再起风波，此次争议的核心是，口腔用品认证办法的管理对象应该是“保健”品还是“护理”品。 　　本报独家获悉，4月24日，中国口腔清洁护理用品工业协会（原牙膏工业协会，下称“牙膏协会”）以书面形式向国家认证认可监督管理委员会（下称“认监委”）递交了一份文件，称如果把牙膏纳入认证，将不利于企业的发展。 　　文件陈述了数条理由，诸如牙膏企业的每个产品都必须认证将会影响到生产和销售的效率等等。 　　文件还称，即便必须认证，也应该是认证“口腔护理”用品，而不是“口腔保健”用品。 　　4月13日，认监委发布了《口腔保健用品认证管理办法（征求意见稿）》。 　　自发布之日以来，围绕这两个词的拉锯始终没有停止。而在意见征求期过后，卫生部法规司将根据程序将这个办法发布成为部颁标准。 　　“如不采用‘保健’，而采用‘护理’，那么办法将失去意义。”江苏雪豹日化有限公司的董事长童渝于昨日向认监委提交了一份针锋相对的建议。 　　据知情人士透露，牙膏协会如此激烈反对的原因是，一旦“保健”认证推行，将会由具备专业团队的相关单位来担当。而牙膏协会属于原轻工系统，缺乏这些资源。 　　“所以他们更倾向于用‘护理’一词，可以名正言顺地把认证权纳入自己的管理范畴。” 　　相对于强调牙膏功能性的“保健”，“护理”一词在字面的意义更倾向于清洁。前者的主管部门是卫生部门，后者则是牙膏协会。 　　有消息人士称，现在已有数百家单位开始申请成为合法的牙膏认证机构。 　　“最后的认证机构已经基本成型。”有关人士透露说，这个即将浮出水面的机构与卫生系统下属的全国牙防组有着紧密的“血缘”关系。 　　在此之前的牙防组事件中，没有认证资格的全国牙防组违规认证十多年，被北京律师李纲告上法庭。此后，认监委紧急启动认证程序，目前最后的用词尚不明朗。 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000013/18.txt ================================================  中国人为啥没有西方人高? 　　饮食人类学家发现，旧石器时代的先祖们茹毛饮血，食肉和生食，身材比我们高大30％左右。今天的西方人，仍然喜欢吃带血丝的肉和生菜色拉，身材也仍旧比吃米面和爱烹调的亚洲人“大一号”。特别是阿尔卑斯山以北的日耳曼民族，分布在德国、荷兰和北欧等地，冬天长，睡眠久，喝鲜奶，食生肉，男人平均身高1.8米以上。其中，荷兰人又酷爱鲜奶和乳制品，人均身高为世界之最。 　　营养学家发现，谷物和薯类含凝聚素，影响蛋白的吸收和多胺的数量，会使生长缓慢，身材矮小。肉食比素食含有更丰富的营养和性激素原料，生食比熟食含有更多的生长激素原料。人的发育在12岁前主要靠生长激素，12~25岁主要靠性激素。营养和激素水平可以影响当代人身高，持续到四代以后可以显著改变遗传基因。 　　在百万年漫长的冬夜里，北欧人世世代代长时间睡眠，分泌了充足的生长激素。同时大量的动物性生食提供了丰富的营养和性激素原料，这使得他们能够昂首全人类。在动物性食品中，牛奶含大量激素，它可以使小牛在数月里长高，也可以帮助乳糖酶充足的小孩在数年内长高。喝奶最多、乳糖酶充足的荷兰人，平均身高成为人类的“珠峰”。 　　以下的最佳营养、睡眠和运动方式，会使你的孩子长得高： 　　第一、最佳营养。 　　多吃10类食品，包括鱼类、海鲜、海藻、肉类、蛋类、菌类、坚果、种子、蔬菜、水果，有些可生吃；多吃母乳，多喝鲜奶(如果乳糖酶充足)，不加热，以保证营养素和激素原料的摄入。 　　早、晚是喝奶的最佳时机，早餐时喝奶，给一天的活力提供充分的营养保证；晚上喝牛奶，不但有助于睡眠，而且有助于人体对其营养成份的吸收。最佳营养 　　据美英两国医学专家研究发现，牛奶中含有两种过去人们未知的催眠物质，其中一种是能够促进睡眠的以血清素合成的色氨酸，由于它的作用，往往只需要一杯牛奶就可以使人入睡；另外一种则是具有类似麻醉镇静作用的天然吗啡类的物质。所以，如果在早晨饮奶，就必然会使人的大脑皮层受到抑制，影响白天的工作和学习。此外，早晨饮奶也不利于消化和吸收，这是因为牛奶的蛋白质要经过胃和小肠的分解形成氨基酸后才能被人体吸收，而早晨空腹状态下，胃、肠的排空是很快的，因此牛奶还来不及消化就被排到了大肠。再有，食物当中被吸收的蛋白质只有在热量充足的基础上才能构成人体组织的一部分，倘若热量不足，吸收的蛋白质就很快变成热量而被消耗掉了，这无疑是一种大材小用的浪费。 　　因此营养专家们认为，牛奶最好在傍晚或临睡之前半小时饮用。　　喝牛奶应当避误区　　牛奶含有丰富的营养，其中不但包括必需氨基酸，还有含量高且易吸收的钙，长期饮用对身体非常有好处。不过，饮用牛奶一定要讲究方式，以下是喝牛奶常见的误区，你一定要注意避免——— 　　空腹喝牛奶　　空腹饮用牛奶会使肠蠕动增加，牛奶在胃内停留时间缩短，使内部的营养素不能被充分吸收利用。喝牛奶最好与一些淀粉类的食物，如馒头、面包、玉米粥、豆类等同食，有利于消化和吸收。 　　食物搭配不当　　牛奶不宜与含鞣酸的食物同吃，如浓茶、柿子等，这些食物易与牛奶反应结块成团，影响消化。 　　偏爱高度加工的牛奶　　高度加工后的牛奶，其营养价值不一定比鲜牛奶好。这是因为经过多次加工后，牛奶中大多加入了微量元素或无机盐，但这些成分并非每个人都需要补充，所以也就不一定适合每一个人。 　　第二、睡眠充足。 　　12岁以下睡眠8小时以上，以保证生长激素的分泌。最佳睡眠 　　睡眠或觉醒是正常的生理过程，但它不是人为能完全自主控制的活动，而是一个被动过程。它不像人体某些活动可按人的意志，说来就来，要止则止。失眠的人常常难以诱导师自己进入睡眠而苦恼。其实早期的轻度失眠，经过自我调理的办法就常可得益，具体归纳如下： 　　平常而自然的心态。出现失眠不必过分担心，越是紧张，越是强行入睡，结果适得其反。有些人对连续多天出现失眠更是紧张不安，认为这样下去大脑得不到休息，不是短寿，也会生病。这类担心所致的过分焦虑，对睡眠本身及其健康的危害更大。 　　寻求并消除失眠的原因。造成失眠的因素颇多，前已提及，只要稍加注意，不难发现。原因消除，失眠自愈，对因疾病引起的失眠症状，要及时求医。不能认为：失眠不过是小问题，算不了病而延误治疗。 　　身心松驰，有益睡眠。睡前到户外散步一会儿，放松一下精神，上床前或洗个沐浴，或热水泡脚，然后就寝，对顺利入眠有百利而无一害。诱导人体进入睡眠状态，有许多具体方法，例如：放松功，已在民间流传，可以借助。此外，再介绍两种简而易行之法： 　　闭目入静法。上床之后，先合上双眼，然后把眼睛微微张开一条缝，保持与外界有些接触，虽然，精神活动仍在运作，然而，交感神经活动的张力已大大下降，诱导人体渐渐进入睡意蒙胧状态。 　　鸣天鼓法。上床后，仰卧闭目，左掌掩左耳，右掌掩右耳，用指头弹击后脑勺，使之听到呼呼的响声。弹击的次数到自觉微累为止。停止弹击后，头慢慢靠近睡枕，两后自然安放于身之两侧，便会很快入睡了。 　　睡眠诱导。聆听平淡而有节律的音响，例如：火车运行声、蟋蟀叫、滴水声以及春雨淅沥淅沥声音的磁带，或音乐催眠音带，有助睡眠，还可以此建立诱导睡眠的条件反射。 　　饮热牛奶法。睡前饮一杯加糖的热牛奶，据研究表明，能增加人体胰岛素的分泌，增加氨酸进入脑细胞，促使人脑分泌睡眠的血清素；同时牛奶中含有微量吗啡样式物质，具有镇定安神作用，从而促使人体安稳入睡。 　　合适的睡姿。睡眠姿势当然以舒适为宜，且可因人而异。但睡眠以侧卧为佳，养生家曹慈山在《睡诀》中指出：“左侧卧屈左足，屈左臂，以手上承头，伸右足，以右手置于右股间。右侧卧位反是。”这种睡眠姿势有利于全身放松，睡得安稳。 　　若疲劳而难以入睡者，不妨食用苹果、香蕉、橘、橙、梨等一类水果。因为，这类水果的芳香味，对神经系统有镇静作用；水果中的糖分，能使大脑皮质抑制而易进入睡眠状态。 　　若因出差在外，不适应环境而致失眠时，应先有思想准备，主动调适，有备无患，不致因紧张担心睡不好。同时还可采用以上助眠之法，则可避免失眠。最佳运动 　　第三、足量运动。 　　尽量在户外，每天运动几个小时以上，以增加各种营养物质，包括维生素D、钙和“太阳能”的形成和吸收，促进骨骼和肌肉的快速生长。 　　身高能否如意，取决于几个因素，首先是遗传因素，占70％，此外，取决于其他条件，包括运动、营养、环境和社会因素等。为了让孩子长得更高一点，家长应注意以下几点：　　一、莫错过生长快速期　　在儿童少年青春发育过程中，何时身高长得最快呢?研究证实，绝大多数中国汉族儿童的身高突增高峰为女童12岁左右、男童14岁左右；90％以上女童身高增长最快的年龄在11～13岁之间，男童为13～15岁之间。为了让孩子长得高一些，家长尤其应注意孩子在生长快速期的营养、运动等问题。} 　　二、应注重营养补充　　营养是儿童体格生长的关键。体格正常生长所需的能量、蛋白质和氨基酸，必须由食物供给，主要是肉、蛋、豆及豆类食物。骨的形成还需要足够量的钙、磷及微量的锰和铁。钙的摄入不足及维生素D缺乏时，会造成骨矿化不足，维生素A缺乏会使骨变短变厚，维生素C缺乏会使骨细胞间质形成缺陷而变脆，这些都会影响骨的生长。 　　目前一般家庭在有荤有素的饮食中，营养应该是全面及足量的，家长应该注意不要让孩子养成偏食的习惯，更不要让孩子过多地吃零食而影响重要营养物质的摄入。　　三、莫忽视运动锻炼　　体育运动可加强机体新陈代谢过程，加速血液循环，促进生长激素分泌，加快骨组织生长，有益于人体长高。以下几种运动对增高有一定效果，不妨一试。　　1.

　　卫生部警告说，如不采取控制措施，预计到2020年时这个比例将上升至33％，死亡人数将达到200万人，其中有一半人将在35－64岁之间死亡。 　　2002年我国男性吸烟率为66．0％，女性吸烟率为3．08％，与1996年比，尽管吸烟率略有下降，随着总人口的增加，吸烟人数仍然增加了3000万人。 　　吸烟对青年十分有害，因此，应尽早戒烟。戒烟方法很多，下面十二种戒烟法，可供少年吸烟者试一试：　　(1)特意在一二天内超量吸烟（每天吸两包左右），使人体对香烟的味道产生反感，从而戒烟；或在患伤风感冒没有吸烟欲望时戒烟。　　(2)想象自己在吸烟，同时想象令人作呕的事情（比如你手中烟盒或香烟上有痰渍等等）。　　(3)将戒烟的原因写在纸上，经常阅读；如能可能，尽量补充新内容。　　(4)将想购买的物品写下来，按其价格计算可购买香烟的包数。逐日将用来购买香烟的钱储存在“聚宝盆”内。每过一个月，清点一次钱数。　　(5)同朋友打“赌”，保证戒烟。当然这要用自己的烟钱作为 “赌注”。　　(6)不整条买烟。     相关事件:     卫生部：我国青少年吸烟人数高达5000万     9日在京举行的世界卫生组织慢性病全球报告中文版首发式上，卫生部公布的中国慢性病情况表明，目前中国青少年吸烟人数高达5000万人。>>>全文     与潜意识对话 临床催眠治疗能帮助戒烟

　　5.AC米兰VS罗马：米兰很少在对手身上发生连续输盘的事情，首回合米兰输盘，本场可对他们看高半线。 　　6.帕勒莫VS梅西纳：此战已经无关紧要，初盘显示本场是“3/1”格局。 　　7.雷吉纳VS尤文图斯：初盘显示了客队的强大，且本场关系到客队夺冠问题，此时尤文图斯可任胆选。 　　8.特雷维索VS乌迪内斯：乌迪内斯在客场已连续拿下3盘，在状态正佳的时候，澳彩只为其开出平手初盘，想必“乌鸡”的势头会就此中断。足彩06032期王智德甲解盘 　　9.科隆VS比勒菲尔德：初盘高开意图明显，庄家引筹码去上盘的嫌疑极大，本场科隆有望不败。 　　10.拜仁慕尼黑VS多特蒙德：多特蒙德客场至多连赢两盘，本场已到其盘路极限，而且澳彩初盘也有意在冷落主队。 　　11.汉堡VS不莱梅：半球盘下两队在本赛季尚无平局记录，本场适合选择“3/0”。 　　12.杜伊斯堡VS美因兹：初盘与欧赔极为不符，庄家有利用主队已经降级的题材诱下美因兹的嫌疑。 　　13.沙尔克04VS斯图加特：初盘主队水位偏高，目前斯图加特客场盘路有反弹迹象，本场不排除客队抢分可能。 　　14.沃尔夫斯堡VS凯泽斯劳滕：命悬一线的战役，庄家为本场开出了较高的平局赔率，想必两队有望分出胜负。

　　这是一次跨越世纪的重逢，这是一次弥补历史的棋坛盛事。5月23日至27日，在美丽的沈阳世博园，来自中国、日本和韩国三国的九位当年叱咤世界棋坛的围棋元老，将上演一次对决。昨天，本次元老赛的参赛者之一、中国围棋协会主席陈祖德表示，他对即将在沈阳揭幕的2006年中、日、韩三国围棋元老赛非常期待：“这是一次弥补历史的比赛！”　　三国元老首次聚首　　本次三国元老赛由国家体育总局棋牌运动管理中心、中国围棋协会主办、由沈阳市体育局、沈阳市体育总会、沈阳晚报、沈阳市围棋协会、沈阳电视台协办。比赛地点设在沈阳世界园艺博览会，是2006年沈阳市承办的级别最高的比赛，也是2006年国内外广泛关注的重要体育赛事之一。　　参加比赛的中日韩围棋元老都是二十世纪世界最著名的围棋代表人物，他们分别是中国队的陈祖德、王汝南和聂卫平；日本队的林海峰、宫本直毅和羽根泰正；韩国队的金寅、河灿锡和尹琦铉。除了中国的三位元老赫赫有名外，日本的林海峰是一代围棋巨人吴清源的弟子，曾三连霸名人战，五获本因坊，被日本《棋道》杂志敬称为棋界“阿信”；宫本直毅九段师从于关西棋院创始人桥本宇太郎九段，他在1974年率团访华，对聂卫平一生的命运发挥过至关重要的影响。中国棋迷相对陌生的金寅更是韩国著名的超一流九段棋手。相当于韩国的“陈祖德”，从1965年开始，韩国进入了名副其实的“金寅时代”，曾影响韩国围棋界十多年，七十年代后期，由于曹薰铉、徐奉洙等新人的崛起，金寅渐渐地退出了棋战的第一线。但正是他将韩国围棋引上了现代之路。陈祖德：这是弥补历史的比赛　　中国围棋协会主席、原中国棋院院长陈祖德先生，昨天在接受本报记者采访时对这次比赛给予了很高的评价，“这是世界第一次！”陈老说，“以前我们只是分别搞过中日和中韩的元老比赛，我们这批三个国家的棋手聚会还是第一次，因此这次比赛让人感到很兴奋。”　　陈祖德介绍说，因为各种历史原因，他和那个时代的韩日两国的高手们在各自棋力达到顶峰的时候没有交过手，这可以算是一个历史的遗憾，而这次三国元老赛正是弥补了他那个时代的选手的一个遗憾，填补世界围棋的一次历史空白，同时也将对中国围棋产生深远的影响。　　当陈祖德听说比赛要在美丽的沈阳世博园举行时，显得非常的高兴：“那太好了，我早就听说那里非常美，我想在那里比赛将是一次享受！这次聚会太令人期待了！”　　世博园将书写世界围棋佳话　　美丽的沈阳世博园已迎来八方游客，而这次九位中日韩围棋元老的跨世纪聚会，将为这美丽的地方书写一段佳话。据了解，本次比赛将在25和26日两天举行交叉比赛，到时候，当年未能一决雌雄的围棋元老们将亮出各自的绝活，留下一个个经典的对局。　　棋盘山，流传着传说与故事，凝聚着历史与现实融合的美丽，这里，将迎来一代宗师们的笑语；世博园，汇聚着鲜花与绿草，传递着人与自然和谐共生的理念，这里，还将留下世界围棋的一段佳话……

　　詹姆斯绝对全能，能突破、能投篮、能运球、能传球，还能……用嘴赢得比赛。在骑士队114比113战胜奇才队以总比分4比2晋级东区半决赛的比赛中，詹姆斯就施展了一回他的嘴上功夫，仅只言片语就说得阿里纳斯罚输了比赛。刚刚在联盟里混了三年的詹姆斯，已经开始向伯德、米勒等“口技”出众的老前辈看齐了。 　　现场 一张嘴战败一双手 　　阿里纳斯有一双投手的手，这双手可以让他投中三分线两米开外的三分球，可以让他在对骑士队的生死大战上独得36分。然而阿里纳斯没有想到，当这双可以把罚球命中率控制在80％以上的手遭遇詹姆斯宽而厚的双唇时，竟然抖得连一个球也罚不进。 　　是阿里纳斯的手葬送了奇才队，还是从詹姆斯唇间吐出的只言片语成就了骑士？ 　　一切应该从比赛最后两秒说起。当时，得到球的阿里纳斯没有选择地在三分线两米开外起跳投篮。球出手后，阿里纳斯的双眼一直盯着皮球在空中飞行的轨迹，当球进筐的一刹那，阿里纳斯几乎和全场观众的惊呼声同步举起双手。这是他对这双手的感谢，是它们让奇才队出现了一丝生的希望。或许，当时的阿里纳斯已经开始认为胜利女神在这一天是站在他们这边的。 　　可一切并不顺利，阿里纳斯的最后一投好像耗尽了他的神奇。在加时赛里，骑士队的防守让他一分未得。直到比赛还剩15秒，休斯对阿里纳斯犯规，后者才获得了两次轻易得分的罚球机会。而这时，奇才队领先一分。 　　本赛季罚球命中率高达82%的阿里纳斯走上了罚球线，在习惯性的将球绕身三周之后，他的第一罚并没有罚中。手感还没有恢复，阿里纳斯深吸了一口气。 　　就在这时，詹姆斯走到阿里纳斯身边，拍着对方的胸口，低着头轻轻地说道：“如果你连第二罚也错失了，你知道谁会来终结比赛。”在之前第三场和第五场的较量中，骑士队均以一分优势险胜，而且都是由詹姆斯在最后时刻强攻上篮投中制胜球。 　　阿里纳斯的表情变得很凝重，而他的罚篮准备动作也发生了改变。他第二次罚球前，并没有在腰间绕球，而是直接罚篮。这是平时的阿里纳斯绝不会做的事情。阿里纳斯心急了，方寸大乱！结果，第二罚球偏得比第一罚时还离谱。骑士队反攻的机会来了。 　　战术 皇帝发话 小兵下手 　　詹姆斯真的履行了对阿里纳斯的“诺言”，在接下来的进攻中对奇才队进行了绝杀吗？没有。完成绝杀的是阿里纳斯根本想不到的达蒙·琼斯。应该说，詹姆斯的话完全是一次攻心战术。 　　在阿里纳斯罚失两球后，骑士队随即叫了暂停。主帅布朗布置了他这场比赛的最后一个战术：詹姆斯主攻，休斯接应，如果休斯还没有机会，球就交给琼斯投。 　　比赛再次开始，詹姆斯一接到球，阿里纳斯和丹尼尔斯马上跟出三分线，对詹姆斯进行包夹，奇才队显然不希望再重蹈前几场的覆辙，因此立刻对其采取包夹战术。已经知道如何应对的“小皇帝”将球传给休斯，而在一旁防守琼斯的巴特勒立刻选择了放弃对琼斯的防守，去盯防休斯。而此时琼斯在底线无人防守，休斯立即传球，琼斯一击命中。 　　 “很显然，胜利女神今晚并没有站在我们这边。你能想象吗？一个罚球命中率在80%的投手，在最后时刻竟然两罚不中。我只能说，今晚太糟糕了。”比赛已经结束，阿里纳斯还在想着刚才发生的事情。 　　历史 “邮差周日不送信” 　　詹姆斯并不是第一个使用攻心战术帮助球队获胜的人。这其中最经典的莫过于原公牛队著名球星皮蓬对马龙说的那句“邮差周日不送信”，简直就是詹姆斯对阿里纳斯的翻版。 　　1996-97赛季公牛与爵士总决赛第六场，那是一个星期天。两支球队杀得难解难分，终场前35秒战成82比82平。马龙在最后关头获得罚球机会，但站在一边的皮蓬对绰号“邮差”的马龙说：“星期天邮差不送信。”一句话让马龙“心惊胆战”，结果终场前9.2秒居然两次关键罚球砸筐而出。 　　而此后“飞人”乔丹在下一回合进攻时，一个胯下运球，突然急停并向后撤步，一记稳稳的跳投随着终场哨响飞入篮筐，公牛队84比82两分险胜。这一球也是近20年来NBA总决赛中惟一一个真正的压哨绝杀球。 　　“口技大师” 各有绝活 　　用言语干扰对手心态，从精神上击败对手的情况在NBA的赛场上很普遍，包括伯德、乔丹、米勒在内的一批天皇巨星都会利用这招来打击对手的自信心。然而每位巨星运用“口技”的特点却各不相同。 　　伯德 先知型 　　伯德喜欢对某个事件进行“预测”，再把他“预测”的结果告诉对手，最后用自己的实力将他的“预言”实现。 　　“我要在这里进三分送你们回家。”——伯德在一场比赛的最后一次进攻前指着三分线外的一块地板对对手说，当时拥有进攻权的凯尔特人队与对手平分。结果界外球开出后，伯德真的在那里接球投进压哨三分，赢下比赛。 　　“你们决定谁要拿第二名了吗?”——1986年全明星三分球大赛前，伯德一进休息室就问所有参赛者。伯德最终夺得了那届三分大赛的冠军。 　　乔丹 显摆型 　　乔丹喜欢向所有人炫耀自己的超人实力，因此，使用“口技”也就变成了他向对手显摆的工具。在他使用这招时，完全是一副上帝对凡人训诫的模样。 　　“你投呀，我让你投……投呀！”——乔丹在防守时最常说的话，通常情况下对手都会投篮不中。 　　“加油，你差点就守住我了。”——乔丹在进攻得手之后最常说的话。 　　姚明 努力型 　　别以为母语是汉语的姚明不会使用“口技”。在NBA征战了三个赛季的姚明融入NBA是全方位的，在口技方面虽然不比之前几位大师，但也有上乘之作。 　　“我要打得你把护齿都吞下去。”——2005年2月10日，在火箭队105比92战胜公牛队的比赛中，姚明对公牛队中锋钱德勒说。在说完这句话后，姚明在对手头上连得6分。是役，他10投9中砍下21分。 　　“口技对决”米勒太嫩 　　使用“口技”攻击对手，并不是百分之百能成功的。在NBA的历史中，经常使用“口技”的雷杰·米勒就碰到过使用“口技”得到反效果的事情，因为他攻击的对象是心理素质超强且更擅长“口技”的伯德。 　　在米勒的新秀赛季，年轻的米勒在步行者队的主场第一次碰到伯德。当时步行者队落后两分，伯德获得罚球机会。米勒随即向伯德发出“嘿！嘿！”的干扰声。“你没开玩笑吧，菜鸟？”伯德对米勒说，然后从容地罚进一球。当伯德再次得到球时，他又说：“菜鸟,我告诉你，我是现在联盟里最顶尖的投手，全NBA！知道吗？你还有什么想说的吗？”接着，伯德又罚进一球。“我当时真是蠢到十八层地狱去了。”米勒在自己的回忆录中提到这段往事时，评价自己当时的表现说。

　　有江湖的地方，就有恩怨。一个远离辽足视线很久的人物———马林，突然和三轮不胜的辽足扯上了关系。“下岗的马林接替战绩不佳的唐尧东？”一件原本也许是捕风捉影的事，引来当事人完全不同的反应：马林一笑置之，唐尧东则咆哮如雷。而辽宁队队长肇俊哲则说：“辽宁队现在遇到很多困难，希望外界的炒作不要再给辽足添乱了。” 　　马林笑言：我下岗还能给别人造成威胁？ 　　昨天下午，马林刚办理完辞去中甲江苏舜天俱乐部主教练一职的后续事务，由南京飞回大连，被几个好友拉着接风，正推杯换盏之际，一则辽足主帅的消息却让他哑然失笑。 　　昨日一则报道称，辽宁队近期战绩不佳，逼近降级区，如果辽宁队持续不胜，俱乐部将考虑换帅，而辽足旧帅马林，刚刚从江苏下岗，又有张曙光和辽宁队队员的支持，极有可能接替唐尧东。而在今年年初的辽足主帅竞聘时，马林恰恰是唐尧东的竞争对手。 　　“我刚刚从南京回来，刚下飞机，如果你不说，我还不知道这事。”马林似乎无事一身轻，还陶醉在与舜天“甜蜜”的分手中，“舜天集团董事长、俱乐部老总对我的工作都给予了肯定，通过几个月的相处，我们相互了解，彼此信任支持，我走的时候，俱乐部老总特地送到机场，我们还抹了眼泪。” 　　不在其位，不谋其政。马林说他对辽宁队的感情从来都是割舍不下，但在带舜天期间，他只关注自己队伍和对手的情况，对辽宁队的情况一无所知，毕竟是两个级别的联赛，现在他又刚刚下岗，正想休息几天。至于将来的事，他也不好说。 　　唐尧东咆哮：谁能带好辽宁队你就找谁去！ 　　记者昨日连线唐尧东时，原本是想请他介绍一下辽宁队今日主场迎战西安国际的备战情况，国际上轮战胜实德后，士气正旺，欲在辽宁主场取得两连胜。不料唐尧东没好气地说：“这怎么能说，这是机密。我都说了，明天的比赛还怎么打。” 　　记者随后问到唐指导是否感受到压力，有媒体称俱乐部正在酝酿换帅，当听到马林这个名字时，唐尧东顿时怒了：“谁能带好辽宁队你就找谁去，这事你找我干吗。”记者请其心平气和一些，还未等记者说完，唐尧东极其严肃地把话一字字蹦道：“我———挂———电———话———了。” 　　辽足俱乐部董事长陈加松正在北京商谈招商事宜，在被问到换帅的问题上时，陈加松表示到目前为止还没有考虑过，而张曙光的电话则一直无人接听。 　　队长肇俊哲：外界声音导致辽足不团结更可怕 　　小肇在谈到今天对国际的比赛时，表示力争3分，国际虽然赢了实德，但毕竟是在辽足主场，辽宁队定当全力以赴。在谈到换帅的传闻时，小肇十分反感：“辽宁队输球并不可怕，外部的声音导致辽宁队内部不团结才更可怕。” 　　小肇说：“在辽宁队最困难的时候，全队上下都在尽力打好每一场比赛，希望外界的炒作不要给辽宁队添乱了。唐导非常不容易，队里人手本来就缺，再加上伤病，上轮客场输给天津，也是实力摆在那儿。输球是大家的责任，不能让一个人背。当然，作为教练，责任会更大些，压力也大。现在全队上下都十分支持唐导，我们现在最需要的就是团结一致，共渡难关。” 　　小肇最后说道：“谁都不容易，大家互相理解吧！”

三次看升旗感受不同　　大郅：北京这次最难忘　　《体育天地·mvp》记者朱冲报道　　“起来，不愿做奴隶的人们……”5月8日凌晨5点，王治郅随中国男篮一起在天安门广场参加了升旗仪式。当国歌响起的时候，王治郅两眼紧盯五星红旗，轻声唱着国歌。这是王治郅四年以来第一次在自己祖国的土地上听到国歌响起，看到国旗升起。所以，王治郅说：“这是我最难忘的一次看升旗。”　　国旗让我感到责任　　在谈到升旗的感受时，王治郅说：“所有热爱祖国的人在看到五星红旗冉冉升起的时候都会有同一种感受，那就是作为一名中国人的骄傲和自豪。我一共在天安门广场参加过两次升旗，第一次是上初中的时候，虽然时间过去十几年了，但这种感情是不变的，而且只会继续加深。”　　的确，这一次升旗对于王治郅来说很特别，因为这是他在经历了“滞美不归”事件之后第一次看到升旗，这是他四年以来第一次回到自己的祖国看到升旗。“四年来祖国的发展日新月异，升旗的时候，我脑子里想了很多，浮现了很多场景。我想起了回国后我父母带我逛漂亮的四环、五环路，想起了看到的雄伟建筑，想起了随处可见的‘新北京、新奥运、同一个世界、同一个梦想’的宣传牌。”王治郅严肃地说，“当时我就感受到一种责任，我希望在2008年的北京奥运会上站在领奖台上再次看到国旗升起，听到国歌响起。”　　在莫斯科看升旗很激动　　说到北京奥运会，王治郅又自然而然地想起了2001年7月13日的莫斯科，北京申奥现场。当时，王治郅是申奥的形象大使。　　“作为北京申奥代表团的成员，当我在莫斯科亲眼看到萨马兰奇宣布北京获胜的那个时刻，我真的感到心潮澎湃。”王治郅说，“在申奥现场没有升旗仪式，没有奏国歌，但当宣布我们获胜的时候，我们全部拿出了早就准备好的国旗。等回到大使馆，看到国旗升起、国歌响起的时候我们所有人都感到无比的激动和自豪。”　　看到姚明就能看到国旗　　除了奥运会以外，这次升旗还让王治郅想起了他在美国的生活。在美国的四年是大郅最为孤独的经历，也是最想念祖国的时候。“在美国，只有到中国大使馆去才能看到国旗，听到国歌。”王治郅说。　　当王治郅还在NBA时，他和姚明在赛场上的每一次相遇都被称为移动长城的对接。“我记得，无论我遇到姚明还是巴特尔，球馆里都会有很多华人球迷来加油，看台上也会看到国旗，那时候我们就感到一种身处国外的民族自豪感。”王治郅说，“但我和姚明在场上的相遇机会很少，更多的只能是在场下匆匆聊几句，所以我特别能理解姚明所说的，在NBA就感到中国人太少，我真的希望看到越来越多的中国人能够出现在世界最高水平的联盟中证明我们中国人的实力。所以对于姚明成为状元秀，对于姚明在NBA取得的成就和成功，我由衷地替他感到高兴，这是所有中国人的骄傲。” ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000014/15.txt ================================================ 　　本期足彩做为意德联赛的收官之战，仍保留了三大悬念，即意甲的冠军归属、欧冠资格之争及德甲的最后一场保级大战。相信很多理性彩民也会在选择上不敢轻易来把这三场比赛做稳胆来选择。下面，本人就本期足彩做以剖析，仅供大家参考。 　　随着五大联赛即将全面结束，有四国联赛已经提前产生了本国联赛冠军，本周末的尤文图斯和AC米兰将把这个悬念留到最后。首先分析一下对阵形势：主场王A米对阵的球队是对欧冠联赛虎视眈眈的“红狼”罗马，而客场王尤文将对阵早已安全上岸的自己的嫡系雷吉纳队，尤文更有三分领先优势。不考虑联赛冠军，A米也不可能允许自己一年内两次栽倒在“红狼“脚下，而尤文则更不会允许小弟坏了自己的夺冠美梦。可以说，两队绝对不允许自己有任何失误。“红狼”的奇迹要看竞争死敌佛罗伦萨败或平切沃，而自己则必须战胜A米才能搭上欧冠末班车，当然，这种理论上的可能会使任何人产生幻想。但要记住，这场比赛是“红狼”客场与国米死拼意大利杯后的第三天进行，夺杯与否的心理及体力将直接影响它的发挥。综合种种数据表明，A米将有95%的可能在圣罗西球场击败罗马（尽管有消息说罗马王子托蒂将复出登场）。而尤文将最可能在雷吉纳象征性的进攻下如愿以一个小比分顺利拿下，最大的奇迹则是尤文以一分的优势顺利夺冠。 　　第二悬念是佛罗伦萨和罗马的冠军联赛资格之争。本赛季佛罗伦萨在重金投入下终于有了最好的回报，在“重炮”托尼的率领下，主客场发挥极为稳定，积分始终处于前列，而能够跻身冠军联赛是其队上下的最大目标，此翻客场挑战“飞驴”切沃，是其能否保住联赛第四的关键之战。但佛罗伦萨面对的对手是已经踏入联盟杯赛场的已经没有任何追求的切沃，这一战就看切沃的战意了，但不论怎样，指望罗马客场翻盘A米的希望毕竟不是很大。所以，无论佛罗伦萨输赢，其出现的机会还是最大的，以切沃的特点，又鉴于其客场曾输给过切沃，似乎好象不会轻易让佛罗伦萨过关的，但最大的可能是各取一分，互不伤了和气。不过指望佛罗伦萨客场战胜切沃似乎不大可能。 　　第三悬念是相差一分的沃尔夫斯堡和凯泽谁能最后保级成功。这两支昔日的德甲油条终于在本轮迎来了决定命运的生死大战。本赛季“狼堡”主场的防守一直处于德甲的榜眼位置，进攻则处在榜尾。昔日顾头不顾尾的毛病终于以只加强防守不会进攻换取到了濒临降级的厄运。本赛季凯泽主场轻松拿下“狼堡”，但这回客场作战，尽管达到了只许胜不许输的境地，但面对整个赛季主场只失了十四个球的“狼堡”，恐怕再次取胜的可能性几乎就不存在了。生死一线间，决定命运的比赛，“狼堡”人是不会把优势转化为劣势的。如果凯泽选择狂轰乱炸式的进攻，或许输的更惨，本人估计，最有可能的结果是：战平占60%，“狼堡”胜40%。 　　其它场次比赛，要侧重于赛季最后一个主场为基准，注意已掉级的几支球队可能会打出取悦球迷的进功足球，意甲倾向于二到三场平局，德甲几支强队之战主要考虑各参加世界杯国球员的战意。估计本期足彩奖金会有一定程度的提高。 　　本人心水： 　　1：31 　　2：1 　　3：31 　　4：3 　　5：3 　　6：3 　　7：10 　　8：30 　　9：3 　　10：31 　　11：30 　　12：30 　　13：3 　　14：31 　　 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000014/16.txt ================================================ 　　刚刚在上周六以0比2惨败在长春队脚下的沈足，今天下午将在客场挑战升班马厦门蓝狮，尽管在此前，沈足曾在换帅之后创造了三连胜和四轮不败的骄人战绩，但随着上一轮主场失利，使得沈足刚刚赢来的保级优势顿时化为乌有，对此，沈足俱乐部总经理何兵表示：“过去的胜利已经成为过去，我们现在必须要冷静地面对现实，从现在开始，我们打的每一场比赛都是保级战，特别是跟厦门这样的保级球队作战，我们更是要全力争胜。” 　　为了提前适应厦门当地的天气和场地，沈足在本周一就抵达厦门，开始了赛前备战，尽管在上一轮遭遇惨败，但沈足将士却并没有因此灰心丧气，相反，随着许博、普科两名绝对主力的回归，全队对本轮挑战厦门蓝狮充满了必胜的信心，场上队长汪强告诉记者：“我们上一轮输给长春其实很正常，一方面我们缺少了两名主力队员，另一方面今年长春队非常强，他们现在排名第二就足以说明他们非常有实力。不过，本轮和厦门队比赛，我们还是非常有信心拿下来，今年厦门队的实力并不是很强，虽然客场比赛有些困难，但我们全队的目标非常明确，就是全取3分，最坏也要带着1分回来。” 　　许博和普科的回归也令主教练库夫曼感到非常高兴，因为他又可以派出他最满意的主力阵容出战。对于今天的比赛，库夫曼表示：“厦门队已经几轮没有赢球了，我想他们对这场比赛也会虎视眈眈，但中国有句俗话是狭路相逢勇者胜，到时候就看我们谁更顽强吧。” 　　本报记者刘淼报道 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000014/17.txt ================================================ 　　中新网5月10日电今日出版的辽沈晚报刊载了中国球员李铁从英国利物浦发回来的文章，详细阐述了他和老东家埃弗顿队解约的内幕。文章全文如下： 　　今天我必须要在这里纠正一个概念上的错误。国内媒体昨天都用了“埃弗顿与李铁解约”这样的标题来报道我的留洋现状，其实这个说法是不正确的。 　　我与埃弗顿队的工作合同在今年6月30日正式到期，埃弗顿目前只是初步决定“不再与我续约”，这与“解约”完全是两个概念。其实，我将离开埃弗顿早已经不是什么秘密，否则我也不会主动与其他一些球会进行积极的接触。最近两年，我因为伤病的原因一直没有替埃弗顿打过比赛，埃弗顿也在去年买进了大批前卫队员，人员储备方面显得很充足，所以可能教练感觉不再需要我了。 　　这是再正常不过的游戏规则了，我非常理解埃弗顿的想法。事实上，是我主动找到埃弗顿决策层，先表明去意的。与我一起与俱乐部谈过话的还有邓肯·弗格森，他是因为年龄实在太大，明年就36岁了，没办法适应埃弗顿激烈的竞争，这才心生离意。而我，则是希望能换个地方得到新的发展机会。 　　“不再续约埃弗顿”意味着我从7月份开始就成为自由球员，实际上这对我寻找新工作是非常有利的一个筹码，毕竟能不花一分钱就能得到一个身价100多万英镑的球员，对任何俱乐部都是一件很实惠的事情。也许大家还不知道，其实我在今年1月份的赛季中转会期里，就有过租借到别队的机会，但当时我就是考虑到那时我会有一笔不菲的转会费，这势必会影响到我的去向。所以，我才决定等到赛季结束，这无疑会帮助我找到更理想的新东家。 　　再具体解释一下，基恩与曼联的那种分手形式叫“解约”。当时曼联在基恩的合同还有6个月到期的时候表态不再留用他，这样基恩就领得了一笔曼联支付的违约金，这才远投他乡的。如果埃弗顿队在我合同未到期之际与我“解约”，他们是得付违约金的。(李铁） 　　 ================================================ FILE:

中国游客在马来西亚     中国“旅游休闲”商机，正从东南亚向东北亚“扇形展开”     新华网北京5月6日电(记者钱春弦)5月2日，从事服装设计的胡明明第四次飞往泰国普吉岛度假。黄金周对她而言，就是躺在普吉岛沙滩上，晒一周太阳。作为中国公民最早的旅游目的地代表景点，普吉岛代表了东南亚国家在中国消费者心目中的独特地位：回头客越来越多。 中国游客涌至，“标志”泰国从海啸中复苏     泰国国家旅游局的数据显示，2005年前往普吉的中国旅游者达10万人次左右，预计2006年这个数字将突破15万，从而成为泰国南部旅游业在印度洋海啸后全面恢复的“重要标志”。     中国国家旅游局等权威部门的数据显示，“五一”期间，除港澳特区游外，中国公民出境旅游的主要目的地仍然是周边国家，而东南亚国家是首选之地。目前，中国游客已经成为新加坡观光、饭店、百货、餐饮业提高利润，增加就业的支柱。     新加坡雄心勃勃要成为中国旅游者中转站。世界旅游组织预测，未来10年中国将成为世界主要旅游强国，成千上万前往非洲、印度洋国家的中国游客，将是使新加坡成为世界航运中心的重要因素。     与喜爱“老地方”的胡明明不同，喜欢新奇的安新“五一”去了柬埔寨。在中国政府帮助维护当地文化古迹同时，这些古迹又吸引了中国旅游者，他们的消费，正成为这个中国邻邦的收入来源之一。 5月4日，一名小朋友乘坐摩托艇在海上兜风。新华社发 俄罗斯、蒙古游成为今年新亮点     东南亚国家打出“山水相连”牌，韩国和日本旅游界则希望以“文化渊源”赢得中国“休闲商机”。在《大长今》、“韩流”等文化因素刺激之下，中韩两国之间的航线变得越来越繁忙。就在“五一”前，大韩航空宣布计划5年内将韩中航线增至50条。而中韩日三国各自的经济中心上海、釜山、大阪开始致力于发展旅游业“黄金大三角”，并计划在“五一”后以“三驾马车”联袂去欧洲营销。     旅游交通经济分析师刘斌说，2006年“五一”黄金周，中国周边旅游的新亮点是俄罗斯、蒙古国。随着夏季到来，北亚风光呈现出独特的吸引力。俄、蒙两国也已开始设法“分享”中国的“休闲商机”了。目前，俄罗斯专门为中国旅游者成立的“无国界世界”协会正全力以赴利用中俄两国互办“国家年”的机遇，吸引更多中国游客“北上消费”。     旅游观察家指出，中国“旅游休闲”商机，正从东南亚向东北亚“扇形展开”，并惠及越来越多的邻邦。     “五一”前后，中国南方航空股份有限公司开通北京至伊尔库兹克航线，这是南航开辟的第五条中俄国际航线。海南[图库]航空也宣布要开通圣彼得堡航线。中国公民周边旅游从东南亚向东北亚“扇形展开”，航空业界则“春江水暖鸭先知”。     刘斌认为，目前东南亚抢得中国“休闲潮”之先，可以为中国东盟经济贸易一体化“推波助澜”。东北亚地区作为中国主要客源市场，“双向流动”将催生“东北亚旅游圈”，从而与东南亚旅游圈南北呼应。可以预测，这一扇形最终将由东北向西北，经中亚、南亚在中国的大西南地区实现东南旅游圈与南亚旅游圈的接合。这样，中国人的休闲不仅将成为所有周边国家的商机，而且将成为中国与这些国家睦邻友好的“休闲纽带”。

　　　【据新华社北京5月6日电】2006年“五一”黄金周，以新马泰为主的东南亚地区继续成为中国公民出境旅游休闲的主要目的地，与此同时韩国、日本观光界大力推动“东北亚旅游圈”以吸引中国游客；俄罗斯、蒙古国也加入争抢中国游客的行列。中国国家旅游局的数据显示，“五一”期间，除港澳特区游外，中国公民出境旅游的主要目的地仍然是周边国家，而东南亚国家是首选之地。(编辑小娜) 　　 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000016/12.txt ================================================ 　　2006年3月底至4月初，在中国最大的出境旅游展——上海世界旅游资源博览会上，日本有关机构在进行宣传。伴随着“五一”黄金周的到来，许多中国游客走出国门，开始了他们的海外之旅。中国的黄金周不仅使国内旅游市场出现高潮，也为国外旅游业创造了商机。西班牙埃菲社日前报道说，一年3次的黄金周给国内外旅游者带来了良机。2005年，中国人外出旅行达到12亿人次，出境旅游达3200万人次。这个“亚洲巨人”已经是世界上最大的国内旅游市场。到2020年，中国将成为全球第四大旅游客源输出国。与世界其他旅游国家一样，西 　　班牙希望来自中国的游客能大量增加。但要实现这一目标，必须具备拥有接待中国游客的专门人才和开通到中国的直通航线等条件。 　　中国游客的足迹遍布全球 　　埃及的金字塔、尼罗河及南方卢克索的帝王谷、王后谷等，都是中国游客的必游之地，有着无穷的神秘感和吸引力。记者在采访中了解到，“五一”黄金周期间到埃及的中国游客人数比较平稳。因为现在埃及天气逐渐变得炎热，不是旅游的最佳时节。在金字塔前，一对年轻中国夫妇激动地告诉记者，他们从小就对金字塔心驰神往，现在终于如愿以偿，感觉就像在做梦。一名在外企工作的中国男子说：“新马泰我都去过了，也常去欧洲出差，但感觉还是埃及比较神秘，令人向往，以后有机会还想再来。” 　　由于今年三四月份泰国政局动荡，许多游客都取消了原定计划。所以，今年“五一”黄金周期间来泰国的中国游客不是特别多。泰国旅游局局长朱塔玛·丝瑞婉在“五一”前专门带着新线路和各种优惠折扣到上海搞活动，吸引中国游客。记者4月30日返回泰国前特地到中国银行北京分行打听了泰铢的兑换情况。平时泰铢是冷门币种，但这几天换的人特别多。与记者同机的一对香港夫妇说：“上次来，1港元能换5铢，现在只能换4铢多。” 　　就像外国人到中国不能不逛故宫一样，地处曼谷老城区的大王宫，是来泰国的外国游客的必去景点。“五一”黄金周第二天，记者来到大王宫，一位名叫帕拉提的讲解员谈到中国游客时很兴奋，他用不怎么流利的汉语笑着说：“中国游客最多，是No.1，其次才是日本和韩国的游客。我是个英语讲解员，但中国游客太多了，我不得不学习汉语。” 　　印度时代旅游有限公司的总经理瑞佳·纳亚尔介绍说，中国游客到印度旅游一般有3条线路：第一条就是北部印度金三角游；第二条是佛教圣地游；第三条是南部印度水乡游。她说，该公司近几年平均每年要接待不下30个中国旅行团，中国游客最想看的是印度神秘而多样的文化，然后是自然的风光。高72.56米的库塔布塔是印度最高古塔，是印度教文化和伊斯兰教文化交融的建筑。在该景区，记者遇到了一个来自上海的旅游团。领队吴女士告诉记者，近几年，来印度的中国游客特别多，尤其是在春节和国庆节前，报名来印度旅游的电话整天响个不停。“五一”期间，印度的天气特别热，泰姬陵里不让穿鞋，人们走在大理[图库]石地面上就好像踩在火盆上，所以游客并不多。尽管如此，来印度旅游的中国人还是比以前多了不少，据中国东方航空公司驻印度办事处的朱先生介绍，3年前在“五一”期间从北京飞往新德里的航班有一半座位是空的，现在，还不到“五一”航班就满员了，其中绝大部分乘客都是来旅游的。 　　各国准备迎接更多中国游客 　　中国正式开办公民出境旅游开始于1997年，当年的出境人数为532万人次，而2005年已达3100多万人次。面对中国游客人数的迅猛增长，各国都表现出了极大的热情，千方百计吸引中国游客。 　　法国旅游业和服务业非常了解中国的节假日，每逢黄金周，都会提前做好准备。新年时，埃菲尔铁塔上有专人向登塔的中国游客赠送印有“恭喜发财”和“新春愉快”等字样的纪念品。“五一”期间，中国游客获赠的则是法国的五一节鲜花——玲兰花。不仅国家旅游机构对中国游客十分关注，地方上也是如此。为提供更好的旅游环境，鲁昂专门开设了中文网站，伊勒－维莱讷省政府也准备设立办公室专门负责与中国游客有关的事务。 　　自从2004年欧洲向中国游客敞开大门以来，中国游客的人数与日俱增。据法国政府机构的统计，目前中国游客不仅在人数上已超过日本和美国，成为欧洲最大的外国游客群，消费能力也已超过了这两个国家的游客。2005年，来法国的中国游客达到60万人次，预计到2008年，将达到100万人次。埃菲尔铁塔、卢浮宫、香榭丽舍大街、巴黎圣母院、凯旋门和红磨坊等地都是中国游客的必去之处。巴黎的一些街道现在基本变成了中国人的免税店，那里很多店铺都是华人经营的，如果是法国人开的店铺，十有八九都有华人售货员。 　　埃及对接待中国游客很重视，在金字塔等主要景点，不但配有中文版的导游册，而且说中文的埃及导游也越来越多。埃及人认识到，欧洲、美国是他们的主要游客源，但这些国家的旅游市场基本都饱和了。正是看中了中国客源的巨大潜能，埃及才加大了吸引中国游客的力度。 　　日本政府提出“观光立国”战略，将中国列为最重要的游客来源国，并采取各种措施吸引中国游客。去年，日本全面开放了中国游客团体游。2006年春节，日本方面在位于富士山麓的“富士乐园”为中国游客举行了专场活动，与游客一起庆祝新春佳节。日本的许多旅游景点都设置了中文标志，并附有中文解说和广播，一些面向外国游客的免税商店或购物中心还聘请了能讲普通话的服务员和导购小姐。尽管日本的地名基本上都用汉字标写，但东京等主要城市的地铁车站还是增添了简体中文标志。此外，日本的金融机构还积极同中国银行业合作，有银联标志的中国银行卡目前可以在日本主要饭店和商店刷卡消费。 　　印度旅游部一名官员说，去年到印度来的中国游客有5万多人，尽管这个数字和10多亿人口相比实在是不值一提，但还是比前几年增长了很多倍。印度旅游部长乔杜里最近常说这样一句话：“中国是印度旅游业一个潜在的巨大市场，我们要想方设法把中国游客吸引过来。”印度旅游部最近在中国举办了“印度道路展”和“印度旅游研讨会”，在中国媒体上投巨资做旅游广告，向各旅行社发放旅游手册，并正努力在北京设立代表处。 　　外国人心目中的中国游客 　　埃及“三角洲”旅行社副总经理艾哈迈德告诉记者，中国人给他们留下了温文尔雅的印象，表现出了东方人的气质。不过，也有人认为中国游客“太小气了”，小费给得少，有的人甚至都不给。日本人对中国游客的总体印象还不错，认为他们很有购买力，能够促进日本的消费，但对部分中国游客在公共场所大声喧哗以及个别游客乱扔垃圾、随地吐痰等不文明行为也有一些看法。 　　由于出境游价格不菲，所以出境旅游的中国公民绝大部分属于高消费群体。他们的消费能力让“时尚之都”巴黎的人们感到震惊，巴黎市中心一家酒店的经理说：“中国游客来法国，是我们的一大商机，但旅游时间安排得太仓促，我们也失掉了不少机会。中国游客上车睡觉，下车拍照，一点都不挑剔，但他们买起奢侈品的阔气劲让我们十分惊讶。”有人专门编了个顺口溜：中国游客身体真棒，刚下飞机就来照相，早起晚睡吃住不挑，高档商品卖得脱销。7天游10国，2小时游完卢浮宫，其他景点半天搞定，晚饭后自费去红磨坊，一天就可以游遍巴黎，这在外国人听来简直难以置信。一对来欧洲旅行结婚的年轻人告诉记者：“这次就当锻炼身体，下次再也不跟团来了。” 　　埃及“星星”旅行社的负责人说：“去年到埃及的中国游客大约有近万人，虽然人数不是很多，但增长迅猛。中国游客喜欢边旅游边购物，许多人都购买大量的纸草画、金字塔模型、铜盘以及金银首饰等，这极大地拉动了当地的消费。“三角洲”旅行社的副总经理艾哈迈德说：“中国游客，尤其是公费组团来的，常常入住高档酒店，十分讲究排场，可以说对埃及的旅游业发展做出了不小贡献，景点附近埃及人家的生活因此大有改善。” 　　印度工业联合会的一份报告显示，中国游客的增多使印度五星级宾馆的入住率大大提高，中国游客喜欢大量购买印度的工艺品，对印度的经济是一种巨大的拉动。▲ 　　本报驻泰国、埃及、印度特派记者 任建民 黄培昭 任 彦　本报驻日本、法国特约记者 张莉霞 唐惠颖 本报特约记者 汪 析 ================================================ FILE:

　　　世界的旅游业越来越熟悉一个新名词——中国的黄金周。每到这个时候，中国都会迎来一次旅游高潮，一直席卷周边甚至更为遥远的一些国家和地区，使他们也跟随着这种固定的周期迎来一个个旅游、消费旺季。 　　尽管出入境管理部门尚未公布具体数字，全国假日办负责人预测说，今年“五一”黄金周，出境旅游规模很可能超过去年“五一”黄金周1000多万人次的水平。 　　中国游客涌来 　　“标志”泰国从海啸中复苏 　　5月2日，从事服装设计的胡明明第四次飞往泰国普吉岛度假。黄金周对她而言，就是躺在普吉岛沙滩上，晒一周太阳。作为中国公民最早的旅游目的地代表景点，普吉岛代表了东南亚国家在中国消费者心目中的独特地位：回头客越来越多。 　　泰国国家旅游局的数据显示，2005年前往普吉的中国旅游者达10万人次左右，预计2006年将突破15万，从而成为泰国南部旅游业在印度洋海啸后全面恢复的“重要标志”。 　　目前中国人出境游基本都是第一次出国，因此更看重价格。“中国人喜欢出访大城市，且往往都是走马观花，到哪里都要先照相。”一旅行社总经理助理郭明告诉记者。出境爱购物可能是中国人出境游的又一大特色。 　　俄罗斯、蒙古游 　　国人今年出游“新亮点” 　　东南亚国家打出“山水相连”牌，韩国和日本旅游界则希望以“文化渊源”赢得中国“休闲商机”。在《大长今》、“韩流”等文化因素刺激之下，中韩两国之间的航线变得越来越繁忙。就在“五一”前，大韩航空宣布计划5年内将韩中航线增至50条。 　　旅游交通经济分析师刘斌说，2006年“五一”黄金周，中国周边旅游的新亮点是俄罗斯、蒙古国。随着夏季到来，北亚风光呈现出独特的吸引力。目前，俄罗斯专门为中国旅游者成立的“无国界世界”协会正全力以赴利用中俄两国互办“国家年”的机遇，吸引更多中国游客“北上消费”。 　　羡慕黄金周 　　印度日本都“心动”了 　　旅游观察家指出，中国“旅游休闲”商机，正从东南亚向东北亚“扇形展开”，并惠及越来越多的邻邦。 　　刘斌认为，目前东南亚抢得中国“休闲潮”之先，可以为中国东盟经济贸易一体化“推波助澜”。东北亚地区作为中国主要客源市场，“双向流动”将催生“东北亚旅游圈”，从而与东南亚旅游圈南北呼应。这样，中国人的休闲不仅将成为所有周边国家的商机，而且将成为中国与这些国家睦邻友好的“休闲纽带”。 　　从发展旅游经济的角度来说，中国的黄金周无疑让各国羡慕。印度的一家报纸曾对中国政府“聪明并且执行有力的黄金周政策”大加赞赏，认为印度政府应当向中国学习。而日本为了促进旅游、拉动内需，也修改了“节日法”，人为地制造出更多的长假，方便人们外出旅游或安排各种休闲活动。（新华每日电讯） 　　新闻链接 　　悉尼 　　“处处是中国人，还以为回国了” 　　“到悉尼来旅游，到处都能看到中国人的面孔。要不是看到外国人多点，还以为又回到了中国呢！”一位来自北京的张姓游客说。 　　这也是不少中国游客初到澳大利亚时的感觉。去年，有28万中国游客赴澳旅游，占来澳游客总数的5.2%。 　　在去年12月澳大利亚联邦政府发布的旅游战略中，中国被认为是澳旅游业增长最快的市场。据澳旅游业预测委员会预计，中国到澳大利亚旅游的人数将以每年16.5%的速度增长，到2014年，将会有110万中国游客来澳旅游，澳大利亚每7名游客中就有1名中国公民。届时，中国将有望成为澳大利亚最大的客源国，中国游客每年将为澳旅游业贡献60亿澳元。 　　巴黎 　　中国人不再“上车睡觉下车拍照” 　　四五月份本是中国人赴法旅游的淡季，但“五一”长假却是淡季中的旺季，法国各大华人旅行社在此期间接待的中国游客数量几乎是平时的两倍。而中国人对赴法国乃至欧洲旅游的观念也发生改变。 　　据法国文华旅行社总经理陈超英介绍，过去，中国游客总想在最短时间内以最少费用游览到最多数量的法国及其周边国家景点。一时间，“上车睡觉，下车拍照，一问什么都不知道”这段顺口溜成了此类贪多求全的旅游方式的生动写照。 　　几年过去，随着出境游机会增加，越来越多的中国游客迷上了欧美游客所青睐的休闲游和主题游。陈超英说，以文华旅行社为例，参加休闲游和主题游的中国游客三年前只占中国游客总数的5%，现在已占到了30%，预计三年后将达到50%左右。他说，这不仅说明中国游客的消费能力提高，也说明他们的消费心理趋于成熟。 　　 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000016/14.txt ================================================ 　　时报讯 昨天是五一黄金周的最后一天，游客们纷纷踏上了回家的旅程，宁波各大景区全面“退烧”。而此时，宁波的各大餐饮商场负责人却喜笑颜开。 　　宁波市假日办统计数据显示，7天时间内，宁波市共接待游客216．3万人次，创历年五一黄金周新高。全市旅游总收入达12．9亿元人民币，同比增长12．5%。也就是说，游客在宁波的人均旅游单项消费近600元。 　　随着人们旅游需求层次的提高，旅游正从观光时代转向休闲时代，这个特点在今年更为明显。“吃农家饭、住农家屋、学农家活、享农家乐”，乡村旅游景区成为了热点。 　　从宁波市接待的游客分布情况分析，大部分来自省内周边地区和上海、江苏等地，景区内各地牌照的私家车成为亮点和看点，特别是随着高速公路网络的完善，来自长三角地区、福建、江西等地的私家车明显增多，宁波市已成为长三角地区一个重要的旅游目的地。 　　今年的五一黄金周，宁波游客的出游观念趋于理性。和去年相比，出境游人数下降，国内游人数增长，但长线游的人数增长幅度不大，短线游和休闲度假线人气旺盛。宁波市民长线游主要集中在北京、海南、桂林[图库]、西安[图库]、大连[图库]、香港等地，长三角周边景点成为短线游的热点。甬金高速开通以后，往金华、江西方向的游客数量也呈快速增长态势。 　　 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000016/15.txt ================================================ 　　　新华报业网讯 “五一”黄金周昨天结束。从南京[图库]市旅游局和统计局的统计数据来看，今年“五一”黄金周旅游的主要指标再次创下新高。七天里，南京共接待旅游者274万人次，较上年同期增长22.3%；实现旅游收入18.95亿元，较上年同比增长25.2%，多收入3.8亿元。全市旅游接待人次及旅游收入双双刷新了南京历届黄金周的最高纪录。 　　黄金周里，记者截取不同时间段、针对不同采访对象进行了调查，对整个黄金周的旅游进行了全方位的盘点。 　　周边短线游客数量明显增加 　　数据：七天长假里，南京外出旅游度假的人数在百万以上，其中周边景点接待人数已经出炉：溧水傅家边农业科技观光园每天接待游客在千人以上，江心洲七天吸引了4万游客，浦口帅旗农庄每天接待游客人数同比增长30%，八卦洲接待游客2万人次，是去年同期的1.5倍，金牛湖接待游客2.1万人次，浦口珍珠泉旅游度假区接待游客12万人次，老山森林公园接待游客近2万人次，高淳瑶池山庄及迎湖桃园接待量超过5万人次。 　　解析：今年“五一”，出境游、国内游的人数都比去年同期增长，特别是南京周边的景点由于交通、服务设施逐步完善，把很多游客都留在了本地。另一方面，现代人休闲度假方式趋向多元化，花一两天用于本地游或短途旅游，其他时间还可参加健身、看碟、上网等其他活动，比整个假期都在外旅游的方式更加丰富。 　　随着今年“农家乐”快速兴起，市民流向城郊乡村成为“五一”黄金周旅游新热点。 　　景区接待游客数量再攀高点 　　数据：“五一”七天，南京主要旅游景区点共接待游园人次425万，较上年同期增长24%。一些新景区点也迎来了如潮的客流，绿博园“五一”期间接待游客突破14万人次，奥体中心每日的人流量在1.5万人次左右，阅江楼接待游客5.6万人次。 　　解析：大批游客蜂拥各大景区，景区门票收入大赚了一把，每天接近饱和的客流量对服务水准也提出更高要求，各景点基本能让游客满意而归。尽管如此，一些热门景点还是人满为患，游玩质量下降在所难免。从统计数据看，长假里主要景区的外地游客占8成以上，20％的本地游客其实完全也可以选择近郊的其他景点度过假期。 　　跟旅游团出游比例再次减少 　　数据：全市旅行社组团出游5.4万人次，接团6.8万人次，均较去年同期有了显著的增长。 　　解析：因为各景点为游客提供的服务设施更加到位，交通、住宿、餐饮更加便捷，游客不跟随团队同样可以轻松出游，不会有太多不便；走马观花的玩法使每个景点都不能细细观赏体会，这与现代人喜爱无拘无束、追求轻松舒适的旅游偏好已经不相适应。 　　经济型酒店成自助游客首选 　　数据：“五一”期间，南京旅游星级饭店平均客房入住率在80％以上，客房的周转次数和利用率达到最大化，除了节前的团队预订，宾馆适度预留的散客房间与市场需求基本吻合，旅游宾馆基本处于最佳接待状况。 　　解析：随着旅游市场走旺，游客对旅游舒适度要求更高，高端游客和豪华旅游团越来越多，于是星级酒店也能分得黄金周旅游的一杯羹。而100多元的价位，服务标准化的经济型酒店，近年来成为大量自助游客的首选。

　　春回大地,花草初绽，黑龙江涌动着勃勃生机。据省假日办统计，“五一”黄金周我省接待国内游客179.6万人次，国内旅游收入8.08亿元人民币，分别比去年同期增长6.02％和9.2％；接待入境游客1.85万人次，旅游外汇收入552万美元，分别比去年同期增长12％和15％。黄金周期间无重大旅游安全事故和旅游投诉，各重点旅游城市和各大景区景点欢声笑语，秩序井然，今年“五一”黄金周旅游呈现出以下几大特点: 　　黄金周热提前 　　黄金周热的提前出现是今年“五一”黄金周最突出的特点。 　　 　　虽然今年我省气温低于往年，但由于省内各级旅游部门提前进行市场预热和宣传，黄金周旅游市场非但没受到影响，反而更胜往年，且提前火了起来。 　　为充分享受春回大地的休闲惬意，各地市民纷纷避开黄金周高峰提前出游。4月中旬以来，进出我省的游客明显增多，五大连池、扎龙自然保护区[图库]、牡丹江镜泊湖等地都提前迎来了省外大型旅游团队。哈尔滨太平国际机场运送旅客8000余人次，比去年同期增长35％。 　　黄金周的火热趋势在“五一”期间得以延续且更加火爆。据省旅游局行业管理处处长王洪国介绍，“五一”期间，省内多家旅行社分别组织了百余人的团队来我省旅游，游客以俄罗斯、韩国、东南亚以及台湾、湖北、辽宁、四川、重庆等地为主。今年黄金周旅行社出游组团量与去年同期持平。北京、沈阳、千山、大连、华东五市等短线旅游较为火爆，因电视剧热播而闻名国内的山西乔家大院旅游线路异军突起，游客报名踊跃；长线游以海南、四川、云南三线为主，出境游以港澳、韩国、日本、东南亚四线增幅明显。 　　省内游成主旋律 　　今年“五一”期间我省春光明媚，各地草木返绿，处处洋溢着生机与活力。许多避开出行高峰的旅游者，选择一半时间在家休息，一半时间踏上经济实惠、轻松温馨的省内游。长假期间，80％的龙江旅游者选择到省内著名旅游景区及居住地附近的景区观光休闲，“龙江人游龙江”成为今年我省黄金周旅游的主旋律。 　　黄金周期间，省内著名旅游景区（点）纷纷举办特色活动，游客接待量均创历史最好水平。太阳岛风景区的俄罗斯歌舞风情表演、当代顶级艺术家代表作品展、俄罗斯商品展销等主题活动截至5月6日引来游客5.52万人次，门票收入127.8万元，分别比去年同期增长76.9％和413.3％。哈尔滨极地馆新编排的白鲸、海狮等动物表演，吸引游客日均万余人，其中绝大多数为省内游客，俄罗斯团队比春节黄金周有大幅增长。龙珠二龙山举办的“首届哈市大学生千人登山大赛”，吸引游客1.66万人次，同比增长8.5％。五大连池达子香旅游节吸引游客1.2万人次，门票收入30.76万元。截至5月6日，哈尔滨游乐园接待游客17万人次，门票收入154万元，同比增长209％和42.5％；扎龙自然保护区接待游客1.41万人次，门票收入28.2万元；兴凯湖接待游客1.35万人次；虎头经济开发区接待游客2.5万人次；大庆油田乐园接待游客1.29万人次。 　　乡村游备受青睐 　　龙江乡村“五一”不寂寞。在我省乡间公路上车来车往，尽是乡村旅游者，有自驾车友朋相邀的，也有乘大客车全家出行的。我省18家农业旅游示范点风格各异，哈尔滨市郊、齐齐哈尔、牡丹江、伊春等地的清新朴实的山野民舍、北方少数民族风情小屋、大湿地休闲别墅，吸引了众多省内外游客。他们或登山踏青，或采摘野菜，或徜徉水边，或赏民族歌舞，品味农家炖菜，尽情享受世外桃源的悠闲与恬静，体会与都市生活不一样的村野情趣。香炉山、帽儿山、松峰山、兴十四村、牡丹江朝鲜屯、铁力年丰朝鲜民族自治乡、同江街津口赫哲村等地“五一”七天宾客盈门。许多游客自主设计乡村旅游线路，一路游览多处乡村，给当地农民带来了可观的经济效益。 　　黄金周期间，哈尔滨市几家大的汽车租赁公司生意火爆，面包车、越野车等车型被抢订一空。玉泉狩猎场、长寿山、横道河子、五营森林公园、街津口赫哲族渔村等景区接待自驾车游客平均比去年同期增长了10％。 　　（黑龙江日报） ================================================ FILE:

（通讯员　吕中　记者　赵文）据统计，“五一”黄金周期间，全省共接待游客992.49万人次，比2005年同期增长19.4%；实现旅游总收入70.93亿元，同比增长24.1%。 　　与以往“五一”黄金周相比，我省旅游市场呈现了以下特点：一是假日旅游协调机制有效发挥。经过前16个黄金周的考验，我省已经形成了一套较为完善的信息反馈和预警机制，假日旅游协调机制更加完善。领导重视程度高。随着我省投诉网络的不断完善和投诉渠道的不断增多，游客维权意识的进一步提高，今年“五一”黄金周7天全省共收到游客投诉81起，同比增长了一倍，其中投诉旅行社23起，占投诉总量的28.4%，所占比例同比下降16.7%。目前各类投诉达成处理意见的100%，协商处理完毕95%。 　　二是城市旅游服务功能日益完善。随着“城市即旅游，旅游即城市”理念的进一步深入推广，我省各市加紧建设景区间道路，加快完善旅游标识，相继建立旅游集散中心、咨询中心等，城市旅游服务设施更加完善，并在“五一”黄金周期间充分显现，游客满意率进一步提高。南京在地铁、内外秦淮河整治和新火车站等诸多城市配套工程相继完成基础上，充分发挥旅游集散中心的功能，将绿博园、奥体中心等一批新景点包装策划，受到市场的欢迎。 　　三是乡村旅游备受青睐。农业旅游正作为提高农民收入、提升农民素质、改善农村面貌的一项新的旅游产品，不断受到市场的青睐。南京根据对监测点的测算，节日前4天共有30万市民和游客体验了乡村休闲旅游活动，其中溧水傅家边农业科技观光园、江心洲景区、浦口帅旗农庄和迎湖桃园等全国农业旅游示范点接待量均较平时有了显著的增长，其中傅家边每天接待团队游客数千人，江心洲节日七天吸引了4万游客上岛，每天接待游客同比增长30%。 　　四是旅游活动丰富多彩。主要体现在：旅游节庆好戏连台。南京各大公园开展了各类主题活动，如玄武湖[图库]的《梦想中国》江苏选拔赛、夫子庙祭孔乐舞表演、明孝陵《大明华章》文化展演等，都吸引了不少游客参与。据对纳入统计范围的229个旅游区（点）的统计，节日期间共接待海内外旅游者1914.5万人次，同比增长22.8%；实现门票收入2.08亿元，同比增长24.3%。 　　五是休闲旅游将成为主流。主要表现在：自驾车游增长迅速。南京对夫子庙、中山陵[图库]等主要景点的自驾车游客进行了统计，这部分游客占到了13%以上。据对全省旅行社的统计，全省旅行社共接待游客41.28万人次，同比增长37%，其中本省游客24.68万人次，占59.8%；组团22.83万人次，同比增长28.9%；组织公民出境游6935人次，增长27.3%。 　　六是旅游拉动消费作用明显。“五一”旅游的火爆为住宿、餐饮、购物和交通等相关行业带来了商机。节日餐饮和旅游购物也是红红火火。南京、苏州、无锡、常州、镇江、扬州、徐州、连云港[图库]八市39家纳入“五一”黄金周监测的商业企业，共实现销售零售额7.12亿元，同比增长30.9%。 　　 　　 ================================================ FILE:

　　如果有一天，我们不在关心什么是关键问题，而是把关键性思考融入我们的思维习惯中，那么这良好的思维习惯，就会成为我们战胜一切问题的利器，为我们提供应对一切问题的真正关键的路径。 　　为了爱----我考研 　　初恋多少都有些骗局的味道，可是我竟迷恋的那么持久，或许正是那场无情的游戏，才使我的考研如此顺利。执手相看已不再有往日的情感，却难挥去那份刻骨铭心的记忆。从此后漂泊的心在何处栖息，还会不会有浓情酿就的泪滴？高山流水依然是我永远的寻觅，不再苛求爱恨随缘聚散两相依。 　　他大我八岁，又在攻读博士学位。他说他博士毕业已经整整三十岁，那时的他更需要一个家，他说像我这样年轻的女孩，离开了校园，走进生活，会很快忘记他。为了爱，也为了满足我天生的虚荣，跟他拉近距离，我决定了考研。直到现在我依然认为我的成功一半的原因在于他的督促，另外的一半原因是因为我自己的努力。在这里，我把自己成功的考研历程展示给大家，希望能给匆忙备考的你提供些许借鉴。 　　关于报考院校----选择我喜欢的 　　一般来说，选择专业比选择学校更重要，一旦你选择了自己喜爱的专业，再根据自己的实际情况选择颇有名气的学校，这样的选择才是明智的。切记，不要为了上名校而盲目的选择自己并不喜欢的专业，而又不得不去学习那些课程，为考试而学习，为毕业证而学习，这样不但折磨自己，而且很难学有所成。因为即使你腰缠万贯，享有很高的声誉，但是，你所从事的不是自己喜欢的工作，日子对你来说过的会很痛苦的。我之所以选择陕西师范大学，是因为我考虑到了自己的爱好和实力，加上他严谨的治学态度。运筹帷幄方能决胜千里，我终于可以如愿以偿的研究自己喜爱的先秦文学了。 　　备考秘笈 　　在准备考研的过程中，就我个人经验，十分关键的是: 　　（一）时间的安排，今天做什么，明天做什么，一定要心中有数，要周密安排自己的作息时间，制定学习计划，并认真的去执行，决不能散漫无序的混日子。 　　（二）有效的利用时间，提高单位时间的学习效率。每个人要根据自己的“生物钟”和学习环境对时间做出科学的安排，利用大脑最清醒、记忆力最强的时间去学习，这样可以收到事半功倍的效果。我喜欢白天看书，晚上入睡之前再回忆这一天所看的内容，以加深记忆。 　　（三）注意锻炼身体。“身体是革命的本钱”，无论到什么时候，身体对于我们来说都是最重要的，我那时候和舍友约定好每天6:00起床然后去操场沿每圈400米的跑道跑三圈，之后背一个小时的单词。当时我用的是人民日报出版社的黑博士8100快速突破然后再吃饭。这时的晨跑作用在于清醒大脑和避免赖床不起，产生一种清新舒适的学习心情。冬天的时候，我将锻炼的时间安排在下午5:00左右，这时刚好经过一整天的复习，以少量的身体锻炼来减少些许疲劳，调节枯燥的学习生活，之后再去洗澡、吃饭、上晚自习，会轻松许多的。 　　（四）坚持不懈的精神。既然选择了考研，就应该承受得起他的枯燥与艰辛，或许你要为过分的闷热和严酷的冰冻而打退堂鼓，或许你要为教室----宿舍----饭堂三点一线的单调倍感乏味，或许你会因为整日不见心中的他或她而产生孤寂之感，面对这些你一定要坚定信念，要始终相信阳光总在风雨后，所有的付出都是对你顽强意志的考验，而这正是能否成功的一个关键，所以，面临如此的意志测试，你一定要坚持！ 　　虽然我的成功并未换来自己所要得幸福，但是，没有他的鼓励，我知道我是不可能这么容易成功的，整个复习过程中，他无时无刻不在悉心鼓励我，他的一个激励，一个眼神，都能够促发我心中无尽的力量，在见不到他的今天，我同样感谢他对我的鼓励，但愿处于甜蜜爱情生活之中的考研者们能够互相理解，互相鼓励，让你们的爱情也为考研加油！ 　　 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000020/11.txt ================================================ 　　【来源：你来我网】 【作者：kiidy】 　　“花落繁枝千万片，犹自多情，学雪随风转”，2006年的春天，这种莺飞草长、树绿花香的常景，在我眼中变得特别的美丽。一年的时间，在许多人的生活中都不会有什么特别、不会产生多大变化，但在同样的时空中，在与别人一样的收获之外，我完成了考研的复习，是这种成功使我体会到了风景与心情的不同。我不是聪明人，也不太笨。 　　做每件事要想成的都挺不容易的，所以我干什么事情，只要认准了都特使劲。考研是大事，从一开始就没想过不考，原因很多：父母的期望，逃避工作及喜欢校园生活。 　　考研，真的爱你吗? 　　我想并不是每个同学都想考研，还有许多不考研的友人们对我们考研大军不屑一顾，事实是考上了也并不一定就前程似锦，要知道两三年后依然是面临很大的就业压力，而工作的同学已经是经验丰富，在职场上有所作为了!这要看个人的追求、家庭经济状况，要综合来衡量自己是否需要考研，是否有必要再拼一次。如果知道了自己下一步该干什么，并且目标明确，那就只管拼了。早期气馁的，中途放弃的，上了考场还没考完的大有人在，所以下了决心就要坚持到底，俗话说“坚持到底就是胜利”用在考研上是最恰当不过的了。 　　跨专业，做我想做的 　　我没考化学类的，而是选择了管理类，原因依然很多，主要是我对化学不来电，高中学得就不好，大学成绩也不好，我很了解我自己，考上了我还会像读本科那样痛苦，混日子，浪费青春，我是不会在这一领域有什么建树的。活了这么大有太多的迫不得已，想让自己的想法和意愿做一次主，于是我选择跨专业考研。大家都知道相对来讲，理转文易，文转理难。对于理工类的同学来说，只要英语比较不错，选择文科中的经济，管理类的考数三、数四的是比较有优势的；要是选择心理学或是法学这样的专业，就要求你有浓厚的兴趣和良好的记忆力来支撑，要有比较好的英语基础，这样胜出的机会才大一些。 　　在选择院校方面要依人而定了，跨专业的同学选择34所(截至笔者报名，全国有34所院校独立招收研究生，划分数线，提前复试)还是会明智一些，由于34所复试比较早，若不幸被刷那还可以调剂，还有复试的机会。若报考很强学校的热门专业，风险必然很大。我经过再三考虑还是决定考旅游管理专业的最知名学校之一——北京第二外国语学院(中国旅游学院)，这样便开始了我快乐的考研日子。 　　复习，持久战 　　当时我自视英语还行，数学不好，于是上了两个数学辅导班，别的班没上。现在回头看我有许多复习中失误的地方，在这里可以说一下，大家引以为戒。我是题海战术型选手，由于采纳一位研友的建议，我在后期很少做模拟题，只顾钻历年真题，分析出题的大方向，而去年的考题是多而不难，要求计算能力强，我是会做而做不对，那题错得太垃圾了。前期的努力大半都在后期折腾没了。考完后有许多同学说有原题啊，做过之类的话，我是听得一头雾水，那题我可是从来也没见过，还有，我保证题也没见过我。数学是难点，但不是不可战胜的，我总结，要考好数学，基本功是必不可少的，一味钻高难度的题是得不偿失的。因此，要宏观、微观一起抓，两手都要硬! 　　专业课我是下了很大的功夫的，书看了十几遍吧，记不清了，还做了读书笔记，把所有可能考的全都列了出来。没办法，谁叫我跨专业考呢，于是早上背晚上背，一遍一遍，像个精神病人。 　　英语的复习是全程的，每天都要练习听力，背背单词，阅读复习资料也看了许多，英语关键是培养语感，黑博士的120篇，220篇，240篇，我连着都做完了。历年考题，反反复复也看了好多遍，要知道我所报考的二外(北京第二外国语学院)对英语要求可都不低，对手都是很牛的人啊，英语都得七八十分。现在多做些题，分析几百篇阅读，最起码考完我不后悔。所以奉劝英语过了六级的同学不要大意啊! 　　坚持，给我力量 　　到了后期心里想的就这么一句“坚持到底就是胜利”。那时身体不是很疲惫，但心里很是疲惫。很多同志到后期依然天天坐镇，但究竟效率如何，学了什么，也只有他自己最清楚。我那时隔一段时间就放纵一下，打打排球或是和研友们定期侃侃，总之要学会自我调节。走出考场的那一刹那我想的不是考得怎样，而是以后我做什么都不怕了。因为我为了自己的理想坚持奋斗了十个月，那可是三百多个日日夜夜啊，容易吗我! 　　我们寝室有四姐妹，每天相互鼓励，共同学习，有哪个想偷懒了，其他三个会同时谴责她。无疑，这样的氛围是考研路上最可贵的，可惜的是最后只有三姐妹上了考场，还有一个月就考试的时候，另一个美眉说什么也不学了，任我们百般劝说。后来我们三个都考上了(她俩分别被北京化工大学、长春理工大学录取了)，美眉把肠子都悔青了。还是那句话：考研路上早期气馁的，中途放弃的，上了考场还没考完的大有人在，所以下了决心就要坚持到底。坚持到底就是胜利。 　　调剂，恨你然后爱你 　　成绩出来了，335分，差额复试要排在48名左右，我的排在50名左右，因为我报的专业方向太热(旅游企业管理)，心想是没戏了，而且二外不是34所自主招生的院校，复试比较晚。我便像个无头苍蝇一样到处搜索联系调剂学校，很快档案就被湘潭大学调走了。当我在湖南复试时，二外才出复试线，呵呵!除了我报的方向是339分左右，其他的方向都是320分左右，我还想调剂到二外的其他方向，可档案已经调走了，这时想回也回不去了。二外的学长和我说：“你丫就安心在湖南复试吧!其他方向你也调不了啊!二外350分的复试都不一定上呢，调剂是正确。”这样也给我了很多安慰。幸运的是我调剂到南方一所比较有名的重点大学，学校环境很好，让我欣喜。更幸运的是，我跟了一位好导师——阎友兵教授，他不但是我学术研究上的带头人，更是我做人处事的好榜样。在老师和朋友的支持下，我已经下定决心考博，圆我二外的梦! 　　这就是我的考研之路，辛酸苦辣，冷暖自知。 　　 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000020/12.txt ================================================ 　　话题多、题材广、时间紧、要求高的议论文写作一直是雅思写作中的难点，思维狭窄、词汇不足也一直是中国考生的通病，如何在议论文写作中拓宽思路？怎样背诵8000个雅思词汇？备考雅思写作的误区和应对方法又是什么？上周末，启德教育吴建业老师在广州图书馆给广大考生上了一堂生动的雅思议论文写作课。 　　开拓思维的十大原则 　　据统计，近年来雅思议论文写作共有265个话题，常考的涉及环保、经济、社会、教育、犯罪等题材，十分广泛。鉴于很多考生写作时感觉无话可说，吴建业提醒考生从经济、时间、健康、情感、教育、心理、权利、文化、环保和道德十大原则来思考话题的意义。他以养狗为例：经济上要花很多钱；情感上亲近狗就会在一定程度上疏远家人；遛狗、给狗冲凉等浪费时间；狗传播疾病会影响健康；养狗会影响学习；狗很忠诚，养狗会让人从心理上疏远狡诈的人类；侵犯邻居的权利；狗到处排泄会破坏环境等。“这样大家碰到任何一个话题都不用心虚了。”但是他同时提醒广大考生不必面面俱到，只要挑出十大原则中的两三点来自圆其说就绰绰有余了。 　　记住800个核心词汇 　　“垃圾怎么说？可回收垃圾？可降解的垃圾？……”课堂上，吴建业关于垃圾的几个提问难倒了很多在场的英语专业的学生。吴建业老师表示，中国学生在学校学习的词汇在很多场合用不上，比如英语专业八级侧重于文学名著，商务英语则侧重谈判、商业词汇。雅思需要8000词汇，但相当一部分考生疯狂地从A背到Z，还存在想说却说不出来，即使说得出来也衔接不来的问题。怎么办？ 　　“分类背诵，联想记忆。”吴建业告诉广大考生，只要掌握了800个词汇，就可轻松应对雅思写作。“当然这些词汇是剔除了dog、pig之类的核心词汇。”那什么词才叫核心词汇呢？吴建业举了一个例子，如由奢侈→贫穷→救助→难民→……，就这样把相关联的词汇串通起来背诵，既掌握了词汇，而这些词汇往往是一篇文章中可能涉及的内容。 　　写个性化的八股文 　　吴老师还指出了考生的备考误区和应对方法。针对很多人希望通过学习外文名著来提高写作水平的想法，吴老师认为外国名著对大多数中国考生而言是可望而不可及的。“外国人学汉语要学习汉语说得好的大山和大牛，而不可能让他们学习鲁迅先生的《药》、《孔乙己》等名篇。”同样，中国考生要学习英语学得优秀的中国人，他认为真正优秀的教材其实是中国考生的优秀范文。 　　提到一些辅导老师教育学生写作文一定要真情流露，想到什么就说什么，吴老师认为这是不现实的，因为对大多数中国考生来说，做到挥洒自如、下笔自若、真情流露很难。而很多人争相背诵名师的范文又搞得千人一面，味同嚼蜡。鉴于此，他认为既要学习范文的格式，又要有所改装，加入自己的东西，凸显个性，“写个性化的八股文”。 　　讲座上，吴老师还提醒考生写作时不要想着标新立异、旁征博引，只要能够自圆其说，多用权威、翔实的数据事例来说明观点就好，否则会画蛇添足。 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000020/13.txt ================================================ 　　一番周折后终于在多伦多考完了新托福考试，整个考试持续了近8个小时。为什么呢， 因为考完了第二部分听力后，美国ETS考试中心的Server出了故障，让所有当天的考 生苦苦等了3个小时，而且中间不许离开。笔者所在的考场有耐心坚持到最后的考生 连一半都不到。这3个小时让我有机会把考试中心的情况了解得更清楚一些：考场布 置成一个开放式的办公室，每个考生都有自己的cube，但不隔音，由于口语考试考场 内到处能听到说话的声音。笔者所在的楼层能容纳16人，当天有3个欧洲移民（看上 去都四五十岁了)，5个印度人，2个南韩人，2个香港女孩，一个从Kingston来的亚裔 男孩，还有一个就是我了，是唯一一个中国大陆来的(很显然中国同学都被吓住了)。 　　考前我原以为新托福当场能像机考TOEFL一样给我一个成绩范围，好歹安慰一下我8个小时 下来疲惫的心灵，结果没有，最后考场工作人员告诉我要等3-4周后我才能收到成绩，所以 大家要注意了这是和以前很大的一个不同。由于不知道考试结果，我只能和大家分享一下 考试体会。新托福决无想象中和各种广告中宣传的那么难，但要考好，必须有综合的考试 技巧，一定的英文能力和较快的反应速度。 　　一．考试技巧分成2个方面：一是考生必须要相当熟悉新托福的考试形式和内容。 考试总共有4大部分。 　　1.阅读: 过程中不可作笔记，共3篇文章40个问题，要求60分钟内答完。这3篇文章又分成两个独立计时部分，前一部分只有1篇文章14个问题，20分钟内解答，其间可以返回；第二个部分是另外2篇文章40分钟，之间也可以返回。 　　2.听力：按ETS的介绍，听力应该只有2个独立的计时部分，每部分中有1个长对话和 2个long lectures, 每个部分的答题时间是10分钟。但我当天却遇到了3个独立计时部分，后来才明白其中一个部分是实验题，但考试时是不知道那个部分的。（听力完毕后，考生有10分钟休息时间，我建议带点吃的喝的。） 　　3. 口语：共6个问题。第1，2 个问题是大家熟悉的话题，各给15秒准备，用45 秒对着耳机上的麦克风回答，由电脑严格记时，有点像对着answer machine留言的样子。第3，4 个问题先给45秒读一段文章，然后听一段话，再让你口头总结和概括，给30 秒准备，60秒回答，前者主要是关于student life, 后者是 academic 方面的。第5， 6题是让你听一个对话和一个academic方面的段子，然后20秒准备，60秒回答。 　　4. 写作：2篇文章。第一篇是先3分钟内读一段文字，再听关于这段文字的一段评论，然后在20分钟内写出一篇150-225个词的文章。写文章时，所读的文章会出现在屏幕的左侧，并且电脑会显示你所写的字数。第二篇文章是在30分钟内写300个词的文章，题目显然仍然是从原机考TOEFL作文题库中选的。现在的写作部分均只能打字，不再有手写这一选择。 　　考生在熟悉了考试内容后，就必须熟练掌握各种题的解题技巧。阅读部分应学会 对文章本身的处理，10大题型尤其是插句子题，组织信息和总结题的解法。听力 部分现在变得更长更臭，究竟什么地方是考点必须会预测和记笔记，尤其是针对 2选题和排序题。口语部分仅靠现场临时发挥是不够的，必须背一些模版和常用 句子，这样才能尽可能表达清楚和连贯。写作的2篇文章要求考生熟练掌握驳论 文和议论文的写法：第一篇一定是让你写出说话者是如何反驳阅读文章的内容的， 这种文章的写法套路非常固定；而另一篇的8类写法考生也必须熟悉并在考前勤加 练习。 　　二．英文能力 　　从阅读开始就要求考生具备一定的词汇量，不用太多，6000就可以了。有些书 建议大家每天背60个单词，这是不够的，我建议大家每天至少要看300个单词。 在打下词汇基础后还需一定的阅读能力，阅读中有三种题均在考能力，一道问 下面那句话是原文的改写；一道是句子插入题；一道是总结文章内容题。 　　听力部分也是一样，满脑子技巧就是听不懂，上去考试肯定没戏。建议大家 从精听着手，辅以泛听，2个月内一定能有质的提高，但前提是每天至少听上 2个小时。 　　口语部分。各位中国考生应该感谢ETS给我们提供了一个提高英语口语的机会。 不少人总想不通新托福为什么要加考口语，一提到这个问题就怨声载道。我建 议大家调整一下心态，有这个埋怨的时间还不如多练习练习，课堂上练，课后 练，对着老师练，对录音机练，口语很快就会提高了。毕竟口语除了考试要用， 也是日常生活中最practical的，我们已经听说过多少因为口语不好和自己喜 欢的工作失之交臂的故事了。 　　写作部分要求掌握文章的结构和遣词造句能力，否则很难拿到高分。 　　三．速度 　　考生需要阅读速度快，听力反应速度快，口语部分表达快，写作部分键盘速度快。     （来源：搜狐教育社区） ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000020/14.txt

　　请家教不为辅导功课，而是帮孩子填报志愿。昨天（9日），北京高考填报志愿网站刚一开通，不少家长就开始雇用大学生当起了“志愿家教”。北师大家教中心的负责人说，目前已有数十位家长来登记。而在其他一些家教中心也出现了类似需求。“志愿家教”主要由大三、大四和研一的学生担任，费用一般为每小时100元至200元不等。 　　家长 　　向大学生打听高校情况 　　家住六里桥的许女士正读高三的儿子就要报志愿了。昨天（9日），她专门请了半天假到北师大家教中心打听“报志愿家教”的事儿。“家里人都不熟悉大学情况，问学校老师又怕老师忙不过来，因此想找个大学生当报志愿家教，给孩子讲一些大学的情况，比如学校风气呀、生活条件什么的，让我们心里有数。”许女士说，希望能找个大三、大四的学生当家教，对大学比较了解，和孩子年龄又相差得不太大，比较容易沟通。 　　家教 　　“过来人”经验有助抉择 　　北京师范大学大三学生葛庆已经和一位家长签好了合同，从昨天起，他将连续5天到考生家中辅导报志愿。葛庆说，自己去年就辅导过家里亲戚的孩子报志愿。“上了大学之后，才知道大学到底怎么样。考生光看一些介绍是不够的，就是应该多听听‘过来人’的说法。以我对大学的了解，我会给他我的建议。我在考生家里首先多和他聊，看他的兴趣，然后根据我的资源和经验帮他了解这个学校的情况，食堂的条件、宿舍的情况、考研的比例、某专业就业情况等。”葛庆笑着说，还有学校里男女生比例多少、女生是否漂亮什么的。这些信息对考生作出选择应该很有帮助的。 　　考生 　　被过多干涉感觉压力大 　　尽管家长乐此不疲，但高三学生小峰对妈妈请来的“志愿家教”并不喜欢。小峰说，“报志愿有这么难吗？要想了解学校的情况，上网查查不就行了，干吗非要花钱雇人呢？本来是我自己的事情，这么多人为我作主，让我反倒没了主意，也让我觉得压力特别大。” 　　专家提醒 　　不宜增加考生心理负担 　　“利用‘大朋友’的经验来帮助孩子，这是国外一种常见的做法。但这么做一定要有个‘度’，不要过多地给孩子增加心理负担。”北京青少年法律与心理咨询中心主任宗春山说，采取各种方式更多地关注孩子，实际上是家长内心焦虑的一种表现。高考在即，适当地“忽视孩子”是必要的，应该给孩子创造一个轻松的应考环境。也有专家指出，大学生们对大学的认识是否客观正确？是否会因为自身的局限给考生误导？专家建议，“志愿辅导”只是辅导，考生应有自己的选择，家长也应该尊重考生的意见。

　　词汇和语法是语言能力的基础，没有丰富的词汇和对语法知识的掌握，一个人的英语水平不可能真正得到提高，部分考生认为词汇、语法所占分值不大，就以为词汇和语法不重要，放松甚至放弃对语法和词汇的复习，这是舍本逐末的做法，是极其错误的。除了单项选择外，其它部分考题也与语法、词汇密切相关，如完形填空，既要考词汇，又要考语法。阅读理解，、翻译、写作等题型的考试，也需要考生对词汇和语法的熟练运用。 　　词汇的复习是英语备考的基础，但单纯的词汇记忆费时而收效慢，大家一定要结合阅读、翻译等练习来记忆单词。建议大家在复习前期集中一段时间，如每日2~3小时，进行词汇的密集记忆，目标是对大纲内词汇、习惯用法有大概但全面的了解。在备考中期，考生主要借助阅读与翻译来巩固词汇，这一阶段要注意方法，先做阅读与翻译，然后再查询并记录印象模糊的单词与词组(这部分词汇要抽空经常复习)，大学一定要注意，一边阅读一边翻词汇手册是最糟糕的复习方式。备考后期，特别是考前，考生一定要重新过几遍词汇，力求留下清晰印象，避免因词汇的不熟练而影响阅读速度。 　　在备考过程中，最好准备一本附有例句和常用搭配的MBA词汇手册。 　　阅读理解这一题型占了英语总分的40%，是MBA中的重头戏。阅读理解能力的强弱从总体上反映了一个考生的语言运用能力，考生要提高阅读能力，就必须进行大量的阅读。在阅读中精读和快读相结合，是提高阅读水平的有效途径。许多考生说自己做了很多题，看了很多文章，但水平还是老样子，其中的主要原因在于他们没有对文章进行精读。我们应该明白，只有精读才能打好我们的语言基础，如果一味求快，老是快读，英语水平是很难实现质的飞跃的。 　　我建议那些英语基础比较差的考生平时练习要以精读为主，每天看两三篇文章，注意文章的主题、段落大意、核心句、关键词，对一些长句难句进行透彻的分析，遇到生词要用小本子记下来，必要时回过头来查字典，一些好的例句和好的表达方式要背下来，打好语言知识的基础，这样对短文写作也有好处。在这个基础上再适当安排一些快读，一般精读和快读的比例为1：3，当然这不是绝对的，大家可以根据自身的情况进行调整。只有在做了大量精读的基础上，大家才能快读，才能快速从短文中获取有用的信息，在考试中取得好的成绩。 　　英译汉考题主要测试考生根据上下文用汉语准确表达原文意思的能力。这方面能力的提高可以从两方面的着手。 　　一方面要对阅读理解时遇到的长难句进行深入的分析，搞清句子的结构，词汇的含义，有些词汇的意思字典中都没有，大家还得根据上下文的意思进行词义的引申。 　　另一方面，要坚持做一些单项的英译汉的练习，选择的训练材料最好是英汉对照的。训练时要争取不看答案，尽量根据上下文的意思来翻译，然后再对照原文进行比较、思考、推敲，找到自己的不足和弱点，如果是句子结构上翻译的错误，就必须在训练中加强对句子结构的分析。 　　在翻译技巧上，现在很多考研指导书都有所涉及，大家可以选择一本好好研读。翻译讲求的是“信、达、雅”，信就是要忠实于原文，达要求的是翻译出来的句子必须准确表达原句的主旨和大意，雅指翻译的句子生动流畅，而不是生硬涩口。大家做到了这一点，自然就能在考试中得到自己理想的分数。 　　突破英语写作难关首先需要掌握一些固定的句式。把平时自己喜欢的句子用汉语写出来，固定下来，之后就套用英语句式。比如It’s + adj. + that / to 就是比较典型的一种句型，可以经常套用。这其实就是一项“汉译英”的工作，考生在作文时，很难临场即兴写出那些正确而优美的句子，只能靠平时积累下来。 　　其次可以把自己写的句子“炫示”于人。为什么要让别人看自己的“弱点”呢？原因就是，考生根本无法判别自己造出来的英语句子是否正确。而在阅卷时，句子错误或不通是很大的一个失分点。在高手的修正指点下，受益的还是你自己。 　　此外，注意学习动词，尤其是动词词组的用法。英语句子的构造以动词为主，写出地道的英语句子也以动词或动词词组的妙用为本。如有这样一句经常出现在作文中的话，“许多恼人的问题仍然悬而未决。”很多考生会这样写：Many puzzling questions are still suspending. 转换一下动词：Many puzzling questioned remain unanswered. 效果就大不一样了。 　　当然，提高笔头表达能力才是真正的关键。1 多读范文；多读范文能使考生了解写作方法，写作的常用词汇，记住其中一些比较好的用法。2 多写作文；第二轮复习应该坚持每周写一篇作文并且要把每一篇写好，不要在一个水平上反复重复，要力争写好每一篇，这样写几篇后就会有收获。临近考试，可以按照规定时间写作，此时写作的题目要广泛，各种话题都要写一些，以增强适应性。3 写作时可以多查字典，不看范文；写作时遇到不会写的词句要多查字典，还要看该词的用法，这样才能保证正确使用；写前不要看范文，看了范文会影响自己的思路，写完后再参看范文。4 注意书写整齐；平时写作就要注意书写整齐，规范，要在平时养成良好习惯，在考场上才能发挥得好。 　　 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000020/17.txt ================================================ 　　【来源： 太奇MBA】 　　数学各门课的特点及复习对策 　　从考生总结一句话：得数学者得天下。在复习的过程中，要针对不同的课程复习特点进行复习。初数部分知识点少(主要就是绝对值，不等式和方程，数列，)，概念简单(大部分都是在高中学过的)，技巧性强(同样一种题可以用很多种方法去分析)，题型变换性强(同一个知识点可以引申出很多题型)，所以这部分考试容易失分，做题的时候一定要细心。每年考试往往不是最难的部分如微积分失分最多，而是初等数学部分失分最多，稍微一不留神就会少考虑一个条件。初数部分的复习对策就是抓重点，也就是抓必考题型(如绝对值、不等式和方程、数列每年必考)，然后以点带面，复习其它次重点的部分(比如二项式定理、比和比例)。在平时做这部分练习的时候，大家一定要开阔自己的思路，千万不要一上来就按传统的方法求解。比如有一道题是这样的：用绳子量井深，把绳子折于三折，井外余绳 4 尺，把绳子折于四折，井外余绳 1 尺，求井深？很多同学在做这道题的时候，一上来就设两个未知变量，列方程组，然后费了很长时间才把答案解出来。其实你考虑一下，当三折量井的时候，相当于余绳 3×4 ＝ 12 尺，当四折量井的时候，相当于余绳 4×1 ＝ 4 尺，然后口算出井深为 12 - 4 ＝ 8 尺。初数中类似这样的题很多，常见的还有甲乙两人围绕跑道相向而行的相遇追及问题等等。通过这个简单的例子说明，大家在学初数的时候，一定要“灵活”，透过试题表面找到等量关系。 　　微积分这部分知识点很多，占整个数学知识点的三分之一以上，概念抽象，需要很强的抽象思维能力，并且重逆向思维(尤其体现在极值的充分性和必要性)，技巧性较强，题型变幻莫测，是数学中最难的一部分，所以容易失分。建议大家在复习这一部分的时候，多做一些充分性判断题，因为一定要训练自己的逆向思维能力，只有这样才能在有限的时间内分析问题的时候做到游刃有余。还一点是要注意微积分知识点之间的相互联系，比如连续、可导、微分之间的关系，以及驻点、极值点、最值点之间的关系等。关于微积分的复习，可以按照我总结的几句话为方向进行复习，这就是： 　　极限是基础 ( 是建立连续、导数的基础 ) 　　连续是条线 ( 联系了导数与积分 ) 　　导数是关键 ( 概念必考，导数的应用考计算 ) 　　积分考计算 ( 广义积分判收敛、定积分求面积 ) 　　线性代数这门课知识点连贯(所有知识点都是围绕着向量的相关性展开的)，概念易理解(因为这些概念都可以通过简单的例子进行说明)，技巧性差(不管怎么出题，方法都是固定的)，题型有核心(我们可以将每个知识点的出题形式进行归纳总结，翻来覆去就这么几种题型)，所以说比较容易得分。针对线性代数的特点，我们可以这样准备复习：首先要将线性代数的知识点进行条理化，可以参看下面列的方框图(此处省略)： 　　线性代数从内容上看纵横交错，前后联系紧密，环环相扣，相互渗透，因此解题方法灵活多变，复习时应当不断地归纳总结，努力搞清内在联系，使所学知识融会贯通，接口与切入点多了，熟悉了，思路自然就开阔了。例如：设 A 是 m×n 矩阵， B 是 n×s 矩阵，且 AB ＝ 0 ，那么用分块矩阵可知 B 的列向量都是齐次方程组 Ax ＝ 0 的解，再根据基础解系的理论以及矩阵的秩与向量组秩的关系，可以有 r(B)≤n-r(A) 即 r(A) ＋ r(B)≤n 进而可求矩阵 A 或 B 中的某些参数。又如，对于 n 阶行列式我们知道：若｜ A ｜＝ 0 ，则 Ax ＝ 0 必有非零解，而 Ax ＝ b 没有惟一解 ( 可能有无穷多解，也可能无解 ) ，而当｜ A ｜ ≠0 时，可用克莱姆法则求 Ax ＝ b 的惟一解；对于 n 个 n 维向量 α 1 ， α2 ， …αn 可以利用行列式 A 的数值是否为零｜ A ｜＝｜ α1 α2 …αn ｜来判断向量组的线性相关性；矩阵 A 的秩 r(A) 是用 A 中非零子式的最高阶数来定义的，若 r(A) ＜ r ，则 A 中 r 阶子式全为 0 。凡此种种，正是因为线性代数各知识点之间有着千丝万缕的联系，代数题的综合性与灵活性就较大，大家整理归纳时要注重串联、衔接与转换。应当搞清公式、定理成立的条件，不能张冠李戴，同时还应注重逻辑性以及语言的叙述表达应准确、简明。 最后应注意几个概念间矩阵运算，比如矩阵的逆、伴随、转置等，这些关系一般出现在计算矩阵方程中。 　　对于概率这门课，知识点分散，知识点相互间联系较少，但公式多(可以说，概率的考试就是公式应用的考试)，所以做题基本无技巧，题型相对稳定，这部分是大家最容易稳拿分的。对于概率的复习，首先要理解公式，知道公式什么时候用，用在什么地方，怎么用。在随机事件部分重点掌握条件概率公式与乘法公式、全概与贝叶斯公式，尤其对于完备事件组的概念一定要好好把握。概率的考试重点在随机变量，这部分在考分中占有相当大的比重。在随即变量中，一定要对随机变量的独立性要着重关注，因为它是很多公式成立的前提基础，如 D(X + Y) ＝ DX+DY ， E(XY)=EXEY 等。还有一个需要注意的是随机变量的分布函数和密度函数，对于这两个函数一般不会出概念题，而会出问题求解题。所以大家一定要掌握它们最重要的性质：分布函数最重要的性质是极限性质，密度函数最重要的性质是归一性质，利用这些性质可以求得题干中的参数。对于考纲上规定的要掌握的 6 个常见随机变量，为方便记忆，可列表记忆： 　　{图片1显示} 　　总之，要加强综合解题能力的训练，力求在解题思路上有所突破。 MBA 试题与教科书上的习题的不同点在于，前者是在对基本概念、基本定理、基本方法充分理解的基础上的综合应用，有较大的灵活性，往往一个命题覆盖多个内容，涉及到概念、直观背景、推理和计算。许多考生往往难以适应，其突出感觉是没有思路，这正是考生考前准备应解决的突破口。考虑到数学学科的特点，要求考生自己将所有的解题思路都琢磨出来是十分困难的，这方面通常可以通过求教有经验的老师，参加有较好信誉的辅导班，或者阅读有关的辅导书解决。必须强调的是，辅导班或辅导书只是学习的一种手段，最终解决问题还要靠自己动手动脑。要充分利用一切学习机会，力求对常见的考题类型、题型、思路、特点有一个系统的把握，并在此基础上自己动手做一定数量的综合性练习题，温故而知新，不断提高自己的分析解题能力。 　　 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000020/18.txt ================================================  关于辅导班　　【来源： 太奇MBA】 　　一、关于辅导班 　　为什么参加辅导班？ 　　作为考研热潮的衍生物，考前辅导班一直备受关注，态度也是褒贬不一。但是和普研相比，MBA考前辅导班却显得格外重要。这是因为： 　　参加MBA入学考试的考生至少已工作3年，学过的知识已经忘了很多，或者已经过时。大部分考生是在职备考，没有充足的时间系统的复习，参加辅导班是迅速提高应试能力的必要手段；备考生中，很多人是非管理专业的学生，参加辅导班，在有经验的老师的指导下可迅速解惑。 　　如何选择辅导班？ 　　辅导班的选择是很重要的，但由于目前社会上辅导班数目众多，鱼龙混杂，如果考友稍有不慎选择不当，不但造成财力的损失，还会影响正常的备考复习。对如何选择辅导班给出一点建议： 　　师资力量：辅导班的主体是老师，一个高水平的老师往往能深入浅出的讲解基础知识使学员迅速解惑；从不同的角度分析题型开拓学员思路，帮助学员顺利完成备考生活。 　　课程安排：有了好的老师，也要有系统合理的课程的安排。考生的基础和备考时间都是千差万别的，针对不同学员的特点进行课程设置也是对学员负责的表现之一。 　　办学经验：作为资深考前辅导班，它的经验也是学员们的宝贵财富。历年积累的强大学习资料库，对MBA联考走势的准确把握以及对各校招生情况的了解，对考生考入满意的学校是有极大的意义。 　　管理水平：一个辅导班的管理对于学员的学习也是很关键的。辅导班有义务给学员创造一种积极活跃的学习交流氛围，象太奇组织倡导的学习小组就能使学员更好的相互学习和鼓励。 　　口碑：目前的状况是广告满天飞，各种各样的承诺也是不觉于耳，多听听往年师兄师姐的亲身体会，对选到合适的辅导班是有更大的指导意义的。 　　如何发挥辅导班的作用？ 　　选好辅导班是考生的第一步，目前MBA考前辅导班林立，使得许多人无所适从。但一条重要的参考标准是师资力量和管理服务水平。首先考生应明确这样的观念：辅导班不是万能的，它只是外部辅助条件，永远取代不了自身的努力；再就是备考期间注意做到以下几点： 　　提前准备。参加辅导班之前，最好能够完成一次全面的复习，尤其是数学和管理，这样才能有的放矢，带着问题去，才能达到最好的听课效果。每次上课之前，最好也能作好该课的课前预习。 　　不轻易缺课，认真听讲，作好笔记。辅导班的课程安排是非常紧凑的，每堂课的知识量很大，缺课之后是很难弥补的。上课尽量跟上进度，不懂的地方也要作好笔记，课后也好再思考或问老师、同学。 　　作好笔记整理，定期回顾。笔记的整理决不是重抄一遍，而是要根据老师的讲课脉络，理清知识架构；分析体会老师的解题思路，整理好典型例题的解题方法；并对疑难问题做进一步思考。 　　结合教材，作好练习。这也是非常重要的一环，可以帮助你进一步理解概念并提高实际动手能力。 　　如何上好MBA考试英语辅导班 　　众所周知，MBA联考科目中英语可谓是一只拦路虎。它既需要我们有背功，也要求我们要有足够的耐心去训练做题套路。因此，考生一般多选择英语基础、强化辅导班，一是通过听课可以督促自己学习，强压训练；二是有的考生觉得自己底子薄、基础差，希望早点动手准备，提高英语水平；三是还有部分考生出于跟风心理，认为别人都上辅导班，如果自己不上，总觉得心里没底。 　　尽管上辅导班的考生心态各异，但目标却是一致的：通过考试。为了能达到这一目标，我们有必要先了解辅导班的性质及作用。与常规英语课的教学不同，它是一种强化训练：时间短，信息量大，针对性强。通过上辅导班，考生可以明确考点与往年相比较大的变动：淡化语法，加强读写运用。同时，辅导老师还根据当年特点，有效的突出复习重点，训练针对性强的复习方法及做题技巧。 　　既然辅导班的重点在强化训练上，那么就要求广大考生在上辅导班之前做到有备而来，这样才能充分发挥听课的作用。 　　首先，储备一定的词汇量。考生在听课之前应量熟悉它们。这是关系上辅导班是否有良好效果的重要因素这一，否则边听课边背单词，不仅跟不上老师的进度，还会影响到自己的信心。当然这几千个单词在上课之前不一定要求全部会认会写，只要求能够盾到它就想起它的词义就可以了，对于那些重点的常考词，老师在课上会专门强调的。背单词是一个漫长的过程，绝非在一段时间就可以解决的，它应贯穿整个备考的始终。 　　其次，巩固基础语法知识，加强语法在析句方面的应用。在英语言中，单词就像棋子，而语法则如下棋规则。中国人从来就不畏语法考试，因为以前的英语考试中我们多是背规则，练规则，考规则。出题人不考类似“像棋中马应该怎么走“的规则问题，而是把整个棋局摆在考生面前，让考生自己按照规则走。它不仅要求考生对基础语法知识的全面掌握，更加注重语法在句子、文章中的运用。因此，考生在全面了解语法基础知识之后，重点应放在长、难句的结构分析上，长、难名既然是阅读理解的基础，也是英语泽汉考查的实质性内容。 　　如果你已经做好了上面几项准备工作，那么再来上辅导班无疑是有备而来，有的放矢了，这样听课的收获远远超过了那些毫无准备的考生。但是由于辅导班时间集中、强度大，致使许多考生容易产生松懈的情绪，或是不能坚持听课或是完全被动地跟随着老师走，把这段时间的学习完全交到了老师手中，这些作法都直接影响到听课的效果。此外，课后的巩固是备考中不容忽视的环节。听课期间由于上课占用大部分的时间与精力，因此总要注意少而精的原则：不要马上开始大量做试题，复习重点应放在听课笔记上。下课要趁热打铁，及时复习课堂笔记，体会老师上课的做题技巧，并且利用真题进行个别专项操练。例如，课上老师讲到阅读理解中选项的分类：主旨题与细节题及它们分别有哪些标志词，那么在课后复习中，我们就可以拿出一、两套真题单独分析选项，而无须多花时间去读原文、做题，这样复习训练，目的更明确，花费时间也不会太多，而又能达到事半功倍的效果。辅导书的选择　　二、辅导书的选择： 　　参考书的选择——与其博览群书，不如精读一本 　　在MBA的参考书市场上，每科都有几本由名师编写的“经典”。这在有关MBA的网站上都可以看到，网站还有网上售书业务。参考书用这些通用版就可以。其实，只要是有一定名望的参考书，基本上都可以涵盖全部知识点，在所选题目、答案解析方面都可以满足要求。参考书的选择是复习前要做的重要准备工作，它不仅关系到复习进度的快慢和掌握的效率，更重要的是对你的解题思路的影响，因为在数学做题中，技巧很关键，在MBA考试中，应该在75分钟左右完成25道题目。问题求解14道题，每题3.5分钟，49分钟；充分性判断11道题，每题2.5分钟，27分钟。根据多年测算经验，如果不能保证2.5与3.5这个数学“黄金时间点”综合考试肯定完不成(其中包括了运算过程中“意外出错”的改正时间)。所以说“挤时间”成为重中之重，如何挤时间只能靠熟练的基本概念掌握与纯熟的解题技巧。所以大家在平时做题中，一定要养成良好的解题习惯，提高解题速度。下面就大家不同的数学基础层次来推荐不同的参考书目。 　　(1)基础较差，没学过数学，或者工龄很长，学过的知识大部分遗忘了的考生。对于这种零基础的情况，数学要分科复习，一科一科的突破。数学包括四科，即初等数学、线性代数、微积分和概率。对于初数，可参看高等教育出版社出的高中代数书，它分为上下册，大家可以参看里面的针对MBA考试的不等式和方程，绝对值和数列部分。这些部分讲的比较浅显易懂，适合大家建立初数基础。建议大家在看书的时候，一定要把课后的习题做一下，千万不要一看自己会做了就不去做了，切记眼高手低是复习的致命陷阱。线性代数和概率可以参看大学本科文科专业的通用教材，比如参看人大或高等教育出版社出的教材，重点要把向量(组)的线性关系看透，否则后面的齐次和非齐次线性方程组解的结构就不易理解。微积分大家可参看同济大学出版社出的高等数学上下册，这也是大学本科的通用教材，主要把上册内容好好看看，因为下册讲的都是多元函数，多元函数不是考试重点，其中把与MBA相关的知识点好好看看，对复习很有帮助。概率的复习难点在于古典概型，其中涉及概念一定要好好理解，复习重点和考试重点在于随机变量，这部分公式很多，所以大家在复习的时候一定要在理解的基础上把公式记熟练。 　　(2)基础一般的考生。这类考生占大多数，大家在复习的时候可参看机械工业出版社出的MBA 数学辅导书，这也是按照考试指导委员会制定的大纲进行编排的。这本书知识点归纳清晰，例题讲解详细，练习面面俱到，难度与真实考题难度基本一致，很适合有初步基础的考生提高成绩。这本书最后附有模拟题，大家在复习完后可以检验一下自己复习掌握的程度。当你把这本书看完后，你接下来可以看看奇迹230分这本书，这本书的习题综合性比较强，适合大家考前强化冲刺使用。这两本书大多数书店都有销售，这也是所有备考MBA必备的辅导书，因为每年的考题都能从其中找到出题的影子。 　　(3)基础很好，想取高分的考生。对于这类好生，既然复习的很扎实，掌握的很牢固，可以参看一下普研的参考书，普研的数学四与MBA考试接近，大家可以将与MBA相关的题做一下，这对数学复习是大有裨益的。但也没有必要追求太深太难的题目，MBA数学还是侧重对基础的考察。 　　总之大家在复习的时候一定要围绕一个原则：一定要始终以机工版教材为核心，因为这本教材为MBA指导委员会唯一指定的全国统编教材，在本书中都能够找到历年真题的“影子”，这本书的难度与考试难度相当吻合，且重点突出，思路清晰，例题典型，建议考生做2-3遍。大家在复习中要注意，关键在于如何用这些书。参考书不能贪多，我觉得，每科有一至两本即可。选定了这主要的一两本书后，就要充分利用，把书读透；如果时间充裕，看两三遍最好。每本书都有自己的体系，与其博览群书，不如精读一本。往年的考题是最好的复习资料，当你将知识点都复习完的时候，可以做做历年真题，从中可以把握命题思路和答案的组织方式。 　　但是，从许多考生经验来看，只复习这一套书还是远远不够的，恰当的选择其他的辅导书还是很有必要的。 　　2  ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000020/19.txt

　　2006年2月25日北京，香港利苑饮食集团在京开办的第一家食府—北京利苑酒家,在位于王府井金宝街的金宝大厦内隆重开业，此次开业标志着香港利苑饮食集团首次将目光聚焦北京。 　　利苑酒家是近年来进驻北京历史最悠久的粤菜食府之一。自1973年在香港九龙开办第一家店以来, 利苑集团在饮食界已拚搏近30余年，旗下拥有13所酒家, 遍布香港、中国大陆、新加坡, 凭借着雄厚的实力, 各家店均屡获殊荣。1992年至2006年，新加坡利苑酒家连续24年荣获《Singapore Tatler》新加坡最佳食府之一；而香港利苑酒家则荣获《Hong Kong Tatler》2006年度香港最佳食府称号；2005年，利苑酒家被评为香港资本杰出行政品牌。 　　此次进驻北京，利苑在酒家的装潢与菜品烹制上煞费苦心。投资三千五百万元，特地邀请了的著名意大利裔设计师Hernan .

　　www.XINHUANET.com2006年02月01日 20:00:35来源：新华网 　　【字号：大 中 小】 【背景色 】 【留言】 【评论】 　　过年留守北京这个决定英明 在北京过年的十大理由 　　难道真的是“非副刊”前不久那期“有钱没钱咱都回家过年”造的孽吗？这几天，当汹涌人潮涌向首都国际机场、北京站、北京西站、北京南站、北京北站(请问北京还有别的站吗)时，我们感到了一丝恐慌。 　　一想到瘦小的我将于今晚被装进那个绿皮儿临时加车里并将颠簸14个小时，一种强烈的愿望纠缠了我：真想不走了，留在北京过年！ 　　是的，如果你不回家过年，那你可能会变成一个不孝子，因为老爹老娘正盼着你常回家看看。但是，你已经没法回去了，那就别折磨自己了，春节到来前一天，“非副刊”推出十大理由，帮助留在北京过年的你做到心安理得。 　　理由一，省旅途劳顿。这些劳顿包括——半夜三更去火车站搏票的麻烦；和讨厌的同事赔笑脸以便说服人家替你值班的麻烦；坐完飞机坐火车、坐完火车坐汽车、坐完汽车坐牛车的麻烦。省去这些麻烦后，你只需猫在自己的小窝里，坐看窗外风生水起、风云变幻就可以了。 　　理由二，省钱。科技意味着花很多钱让事情变得简单，然而回家却意味着花很多钱让事情变得麻烦。我的同事苏三去西站的人潮人海中花了700多块钱买了一张高价硬卧票；我的领导花2000元买到一张去长沙的飞机票，他将有生以来第一次坐头等舱，因为售票员说，这是年前最后一张飞长沙的机票，你要不要；诚然，我的火车票只花了33块(我说过是加车)，但这并不意味着我不需要为回家而肉痛，我有四个亲侄子三个亲外甥，我两个表嫂一个表姐也都赶在我回家前生了孩子。你知道，这年头，红包里不装个百八十块，根本拿不出手。 　　理由三，感受北京的交通畅通！你知道，这是你做梦都在企盼的情景啊。当百万雄师过大江的时候，江的这边立马清静了下来。所以，当百万外地人返乡过年的时候，整个北京城也会刷地清静下来。那时，北京有极为宽阔的马路，想想看，那么宽的路上只有你等少数几个或者几辆车在溜达，多气派啊。 　　理由四，睡觉。如果不回家，你完全可以关掉手机大睡七天没人干涉！ 　　理由五，为了你的牵挂——你的花，你的鸟，你的猫，你的狗，甚至为了你厨房里的小强。如果回家过年，你会像我一样忍受与爱犬分别的痛苦，你厨房里的小强也会因为找不到充足的口粮饥饿而死。想给它们打个慰问电话吧，可人家又不会说话。如果在北京过年，就可以和它们长相厮守了。 　　理由六，为了小偷。当然，我不是指和小偷长相厮守，我指的是避免小偷在你回家过年的时候光顾你的小窝。即使你像我一样穷吧，想想看，小偷先生坐在你的马桶上，看着别人写给你的情书，吃着你积攒的零食，肯定会让你很不爽的。 　　理由七，为了你的健康。你不用被爹娘拽着给你大姑去拜年，也不用被同学拽去通宵搓麻，他们不知道你颈椎不好，医生说过汽车急刹车的话，别人没事，你的脖子就有可能断掉。你也不必被拉着去和N年不见的中学同学应酬，听人家吹牛你不爽，看人家带着漂亮的女友你不爽。 　　理由八，真正感受一把北京这个和你息息相关的城市。你知道，春节期间，北京大大小小的庙会很多的。老北京的民俗集中展示在你眼前(有关这项，请看B06-B09的庙会专版)。想想看，上午到商场积分凑返券，下午逛庙会看燕子李三、大刀王五们表演，时而来串糖葫芦，时而来坨棉花糖，很有味道呢。 　　理由九，省去离愁别绪。你知道这样说很不孝，但是你娘总是这样说：“不回来也罢了，回来后又走掉，娘心里头难受啊。”为了让娘少些离愁，干脆把路费钱省出来寄给你娘吧。 　　理由十，没有理由，因为你是北京人。如果你是北京人，干吗不舒舒坦坦地呆在北京呢？啥时候外出旅游不行啊，偏偏赶这个挤死人不偿命的春运高峰？！何况，北京也可以放鞭炮了，你还可以去京郊农家小院小住几天，你可以去延庆泡温泉，可以去密云滑雪…… 　　最后，无论你因为哪种理由留在北京过年，你都是值得羡慕的。那些正在火车上颠簸的人，他们此刻所渴望的幸福，正是你现在所拥有的。所以，珍惜吧，兄弟。至于你对家的思念，他们会帮你带到的。 来源：华夏时报 ================================================ FILE:

　　2006年，大学毕业生求职面临的最大障碍是供求不匹配。前程无忧最新发布的调查显示：月薪1000元已成为毕业生的求职底线；七成以上企业认为2005届毕业生在工作中表现平平，缺乏责任感、不愿吃苦和环境适应能力差成为毕业生的致命伤。 　　本次调查覆盖国内27个省市40所重点大学的5.8万名应届毕业生，访问涉及33大行业的5800家企业。在受访企业中，3515家计划今年再次招聘毕业生。其中3108家提出明确招聘人数，提供空缺职位6——6.5万个，比上年增加了三分之一。但大量招聘毕业生的企业并不多，计划招聘超过100人的企业只有148家，不足5%。 　　调查还发现，民营企业已成为就业机会的最大提供者，提供的收入水平已接近外资企业。1169家民营企业计划招聘2.8——3万名毕业生，超出了外企2.2——2.3万名的人才需求。 　　2006应届毕业生最愿意工作的地区是上海、北京和广东，其次为浙江省和江苏省。毕业生都把“经济发达、机会多、平均收入比较高”，作为选择工作地区的第一标准。 　　热门行业供求不对称 　　大学生求职中的供需矛盾，不只体现在数量和排行上，由于知识、能力不匹配，企业对能否招到合适的大学生表示“不乐观”。 　　调查显示，计划招聘毕业生最多的五大行业分别是：计算机、电子技术、快速消费品、生物制药和房地产，需要人数3.8——3.9万个。而毕业生愿意投身的前五大行业依次为：通讯电信、金融证券、计算机、互联网和贸易。 　　在通讯电信行业，招聘规模和收入增长都在收缩，人才需求数位列第13位。传统的固网运营人才比重已经偏高，新兴的3G、NGN、IPTV等方面的技术人才稀缺，企业更愿意招聘硕士和博士毕业生。 　　在计算机和电子技术行业，企业招聘毕业生主要从事技术研发和技术应用，对知识专业度要求很高。如Intel计划全国招聘500人，主要考虑硕士以上应届毕业生，本科生求职之路并不乐观。 　　金融证券人才一直是人才市场的热门。但金融证券行业目前主要急缺业务人员和高层次的经营管理人才，企业通常只招两三名应届毕业生作为人才储备。 　　而需求旺盛的快速消费品和批发零售行业，在毕业生愿意从事的行业排名中分列第15和第24位，生物制药行业列第19位，愿意在保险业工作的学生仅有721人，列倒数第三。 　　大量销售职位无人问津 　　销售是企业收入最为倚重的职能，可是满腔抱负的学生多数不愿从事。据说有保险公司到一家重点大学联系校园招聘会，就业指导办公室的老师直接劝企业放弃，没有毕业生愿意做保险业务代表。 　　调查发现，企业最缺销售人才，提供空缺职位2.96——3.03万个；其次是技术研发和应用8770——9480人；再次是生产制造和工程、工艺设计和市场广告等方面的人才。3515家计划招聘2006应届毕业生的企业中，2866家有意让毕业生做销售工作；148家招聘规模超过100人的企业，95%以上招聘毕业生担任营销职能。 　　但毕业生愿意从事的工作职能前五位分别是：技术研发、市场广告、人力资源管理、贸易采购和行政后勤，愿意从事销售的人数排在第八位。 　　调查分析，很多毕业生认为销售工作要看人脸色，刚毕业没有社会关系和销售渠道，往往累得半死还赚不到钱。也有学生认为，做销售技术含量低，不稳定也不体面。有意思的是，不少学生愿意从事外贸工作，认为它和一般销售不同，不仅收入可以较快提高，还可以接触到国际公司。 　　最为尴尬的可能要属生物制药行业。很多跨国企业都想招聘大学毕业生，培养和储备销售人才。但很多医学院的毕业生表示宁愿在小医院拿低工资，也不想到跨国公司任医药代表。 　　对此专家表示，没有比销售工作更能培养人的意志品质和沟通交往能力了。中国服务业需要一大批兼具专业知识和技能的营销人才，一个汽车高级销售经理的年薪约50万元，优秀的保险业务代表年薪可达百万元，但这样的人才往往有价无市。

================================================  　　从今天的影响来看，2004年创立的"数字炼金馆"无疑是"数独"兴起历程中一个标志性事件，尽管它当初不过是数独天才们互相诘难的产物。　　随着不断有更多的数独爱好者向他们提问，"数字炼金馆"认为有必要精炼"数独"题的篇目，以原创的经典题目让更多数独迷得到打开数字迷宫的快乐，而不是被垃圾题目弄得晕头转向。　　现在，68%的数独迷只做《疯狂数独》的题目，因为，它意味着更多的原创、更多的经典、更多的快乐、更多的疯狂。　　数独（Sudoku）是目前风靡全球的一种数字游戏，其概念源自两百年前盲眼的瑞士数学家欧拉发明的"拉丁方格"的游戏。但数独一词来自日文（すうどく），是由"数"和"独"两个词组成，这一游戏完全适合当今这个以游戏为乐事的时代，而且数独游戏无需翻译就能跨越一切国界。　　这种游戏令很多人为之痴狂，而且同步席卷了整个世界。英国几乎所有的报纸都刊登了数独游戏，甚至还进了黄金时间的电视节目里；从澳大利亚到克罗地亚，从法国到美国，各家报纸杂志纷纷刊登这种填数游戏，日本人每月购买的数独杂志超过60万份，《纽约时报》甚至考虑将数独与其备受推崇的纵横字谜一同纳入在周日刊上；网络上的数独游戏数不胜数，人们甚至可以将它下载到手机上。有人预言，数独可能会重演20世纪80年代全球人手一个"魔方"的盛况。　　人们在推究数独热的原因时，首先想到的是很多国家的人本来就喜爱玩拼图游戏；再者，数字具有神奇的属性，数的性质让无数数学大师痴迷，很多举世闻名的数学难题都是数论问题。　　当然，数独的流行还有深层次的原因，在3D游戏、网游等各种高级游戏越来越华丽、玩法越来越复杂的今天，如同其他很多越来越复杂的新事物一样，新游戏已经丧失了简单游戏的很多优点。然而，数独由于规则简单，却变化无穷，在推敲之中完全不必用到数学计算，只需运用逻辑推理能力，所以受到老少男女的喜爱。　　数独也许算不上刺激，但非常有趣，似乎思路被卡住了，却突然之间推敲出某个数字，从而成功地解出答案，由此而生的满足感棒极了。这是一个从混乱中理出头绪的游戏，能够在不确定的生活里，随时拥有如此简单且立即的"惊喜"，总是令人心情愉快的。　　在中国，《疯狂数独》作为数字炼金馆的原创经典，引领了数独爱好者的疯狂，数独在中国即将掀起一阵数字游戏的狂风，迅速中小学生手中风靡起来，随之成为众多青少年和都市白领为之痴迷的智力、娱乐游戏。人手一册《疯狂数独》，考验和你智力和能力，挑战数独的极限境界。　　出版社：中国三峡出版社　　出版时间：2005年10月　　定价：20元

——材质最丰富，除金币外的所有钱币材质，如天然贝、骨、铜、铁、铅锡、银、镍均有收藏；　　——最珍稀，如远古的贝币、刀币、布币，中国第二枚邮票“小龙票”、数十枚“文革”时期邮票和老纪特票等；　　——最少，全国仅发行2000册，决不再版，也不可能再版。　　《中国大史记》是翰墨林公司酝酿、筹备多年、积钱币学专家、历史学家、设计大师、策划大师之力，经过三年准备、一年制作之功所得。书中收录的所有钱币和邮票均经相关权威部门鉴定为真品。　　当目睹这些锈迹斑驳、饱经历史沧桑的古钱币，中国5000年来的文明进程、社会兴衰、王朝更迭乃至经济的起落跃然于眼前。从秦皇汉武到唐宗宋祖，从春秋战国到隋唐明清，直至光绪民国。历史不再是尘封的典籍，从此鲜活生动起来；当七百余枚邮票成为中国上下五千年历史的形象载体，就获得了前所未有的冲击力，讲述着中国数千年的历史，展示着中华灿烂文化，直观地表现了中华文明前进的脚步。　　正是由于这六个出版界第一，该书策划人饶声勇在首发式上自豪地说，文明的脉搏、文化的回声、文物的绝唱，薪火相传，百世一系，尽汇《中国大史记》。　　原人大常会副委员长布赫，文化部副部长郑欣淼，国家文物局博物馆专家组组长、中国博物馆学会理事长、国际博协中国国家委员会主席、北京市人民政府专家顾问团顾问吕济民，中华全国集邮联合会秘书长盛名环，收藏协会副会长杜耀西等出席了北京秀世传播机构承办的首发式，全国政协副主席张克辉为首发式撰写了贺信。

================================================ 　　本报北京5月9日电 董宾、高立英报道：北空某导弹团今天传出喜讯，营参谋长谭正提出的兵器改进方案，使困扰该团和兵器设计厂家三载的兵器重大隐患迎刃而解，赢得了官兵和有关专家的赞扬。 　　几年前，该团列装新型防空导弹，在检验性实弹打靶中，几次出现故障，影响了该新型武器系统战斗力的发挥。为彻底查找兵器问题隐患，有关兵器研发厂家多次派专家组进行伴随保障和跟踪观察。然而，由于故障症结难被察觉，问题始终久拖未决。 　　在该团前不久的实弹演练时，营参谋长谭正在调试兵器参数过程中，敏锐地察觉到这一问题再次出现。经过分析论证，他果断推定：战车某项计算机程序编排不当，是造成系统作战程序相互冲突和影响的主要原因。为此，他大胆提出了改进方案。有关专家对近百样程序进行抽样检测后，肯定了他的看法。针对他的建议，该团随后采取了应急措施，清除了故障隐患，打出了全面列装后的“满堂红”，长期困扰兵器故障终于得以解决。 　　看似偶然却艰辛。据了解，为彻底查找出武器系统隐患，谭正经过大量实践，对兵器性能了然于心，记下了几大本操作心得，先后对几十种可能的原因逐一进行推测、判断和排除，对上万组计算机数据进行统计、采样、筛选和分析，最终使问题顺利得以解决。 ================================================ FILE:

　　【主人公小传】耿大勇，沈阳军区某装甲团四连连长。任连长以来，他带领连队多次完成新装备试训任务，先后荣立一等功一次，二等功一次，三等功两次。去年，他被沈阳军区树为“优秀指挥员”。 　　精通我国某新型坦克三大专业；对百余项常用技术性能参数和百余个常用部件“一口清”；百余种常见故障都能手到病除；创造了该型坦克实装操作的多项第一……沈阳军区某装甲团四连连长耿大勇，以顽强的拼搏精神，创造了一个又一个佳绩。这位貌不惊人的中尉军官，身上究竟蕴藏着怎样的能量？“千方百计地让新装备尽早发挥出最大效能，这是我责无旁贷的使命，也是我战胜一切困难的力量源泉。”耿大勇自豪地说。 　　勇担重任——不负众望练精兵 　　深夜，某陌生地域，“红”、“蓝”两军狭路相逢，展开殊死搏杀。战斗陷入胶着状态时，一路奇兵从“天”而降，以雷霆万钧之势直插“蓝军”腹地，一举端掉了“蓝军”指挥所。 　　“陆战之王”果然厉害！演练结束后，导演部的指挥和参谋人员对连长耿大勇倍加赞赏。 　　2004年7月，时任某装甲团八连连长的耿大勇蜜月仅仅过了7天就离开新婚的妻子，心急火燎地赶回部队。因为他听说部队刚刚列装了某新型坦克，新装备训练即将拉开帷幕。 　　该型坦克是全军首次列装，谁来当新型坦克连连长？师团党委研究决定：谁有本事谁登台，连长人选由比武打擂产生。 　　理论考核、实装操作。在一双双眼睛的注视下，功底扎实的耿大勇一路过关斩将，在20多名候选人中脱颖而出，被任命为新坦克连的第一任连长。 　　没有教材，他带领官兵从最基本的知识学起，先从长达2600多页的说明书开始研究。仅一个月时间，他就掌握了新坦克的部件构造、工作原理、操作规程等基础知识，并向团领导建言，请设计监造该型坦克的专家来连队现场教学。 　　27位专家住进了团队，耿大勇白天请专家授课，晚上带着全连官兵挑灯夜战消化吸收。他们谦虚好学的作风深深感染了专家，原计划只有半个月的专家指导活动，一直持续了二十几天。期间，耿大勇将专家讲课的录像资料、文字资料整理后刻入26张光盘，做成了新型坦克训练的辅导教材。 　　3个月后，他通过专家授课、对照说明书与实车摸索，在没有训练教材的情况下，达到对新装备构造、原理、性能的“一口清”，成为全连问不倒、专家考不住的“多面手”。师团两级常委学习新装备，耿大勇首当其冲成为教练员；坦克出了故障，他又成了维修员。 　　勇于探路——敢为人先铸辉煌 　　2004年10月，师受领了参加军区组织的实兵演习任务。耿大勇主动请缨：“新型坦克是我军陆地作战的主战装备，如不能尽早通过实兵演习将其练实练精，怎能在未来战场上克敌制胜？” 　　铁路输送、千里机动、百公里奔袭，列装仅3个月的新装备全程参加实兵演练，无一掉队，充分展示了优异性能。 　　“新型坦克不能跟在后面跑龙套，必须成为勇闯敌阵的尖刀利刃。”为了在恶劣自然条件下检验新型坦克的战斗性能，让新装备真正形成战斗力，耿大勇在实弹演习中再次请求当尖刀连。 　　炮弹运过来了，这是耿大勇第一次见到新型坦克的实弹。启封炮管、校正火炮，战斗发起前的两个小时转瞬即逝，而按操作规程，实弹射击前还应进行实弹校炮。然而此时，出发命令已经下达。 　　耿大勇拉开坚持要求实弹校炮的专家，坚定地钻入铁甲战车，承担起打第一炮的重任。 　　“轰！”高速前进的坦克怒吼着打出了第一炮。这是该型坦克列装后打出的第一炮，高速出膛的穿甲弹准确击中了远距离靶标。 　　首发命中！演习场沸腾了，到场观摩的坦克设计专家啧啧称奇，现场指挥的军区首长交口称赞。 　　军区导演部经评定后得出结论，该型坦克列装3个月已初步形成战斗力。耿大勇用他敢为天下先的果敢精神、时不我待的危机意识，在我军某新型坦克的发展史上写下了浓重的一笔。 　　在平时训练中，耿大勇严格要求，大胆尝试。压制观瞄系统仪器昂贵，一块小小的热成像仪接收玻璃就4万多元。有的同志提出，有关训练课目风险太大，还是不要训为好。耿大勇却认为，决不能用消极保安全来降低训练标准。在制定出详实训练和警戒预案后，他第一个上车进行训练。结果全连无一漏训，全部达到优秀标准。 　　勇于创新——实现装备新跨越 　　初冬的科尔沁草原，滴水成冰。耿大勇率新型坦克连在营编成内千里奔袭，直插敌阵。突然，“蓝军”对我实施大功率电子干扰，友邻连队与指挥所失去联系，若失去友邻支援孤军奋战，战斗很可能会以失败告终。 　　危急关头，耿大勇急中生智，他利用简易记号通知友邻：“收缩队形，向我靠拢！”而后，他引导全营继续发起冲击。 　　“战斗”胜利后，导演部对耿大勇灵活处置“敌”情赢得战斗胜利的举措大为赞赏。但耿大勇深知，某新型坦克毕竟只是少量列装，实现新老装备的完美结合，才能真正推动战斗力跨越式发展。 　　从此，耿大勇开始了新一轮的刻苦攻关。整整两个月，他把自己“泡”在各种资料里，啃下了《装甲战》、《坦克作战理论》等许多大部头的著作，并对两代主战坦克的战技术性能进行定量分析，总结出“新装备靠前观察定位、射击诸元传老装备”等10余种战法，有效地提升了部队整体作战能力。 　　高素质催生战斗力。在耿大勇的建议下，前年10月份连队建成全师规模最大的连队网络学习室，每周拿出两个晚上组织官兵学习培训，每月组织一次考核比武，现在连队干部全部通过国家计算机二级考试，战士人人都能独立制作多媒体课件。连队还开展了“一专多能”训练，连队整体作战能力显著提升，全连行进间对固定目标射击，取得114发炮弹命中107发的好成绩。

　　4月16日凌晨，一阵急促的报警铃声骤然响起。刚刚在上级组织的军事训练考核中夺得桂冠、被誉为“陆地铁拳”的兰州军区某装甲团，组织千人百车挺进腾格里沙漠腹地，拉开了综合演练的帷幕。 　　紧急出动风驰电掣 　　［演练实录］作战时间4月16日凌晨4时50分。上级命令装甲团务必于当日13时前到达预定作战地域。 　　5时13分。团长张永明通过无线电台下达命令：“迅速进入一级战备！”顷刻之间，寂静的营区就像开足马达的机器高速运转起来，各种车辆在短短几分钟内开到了指定位置。“前沿攻击群准备完毕！”、“纵深攻击群准备完毕！”通信、工兵、防化、侦察等分队打破建制，按战斗要素迅速补充到各攻击群（队），后装保障群正在紧张地为各作战群（队）补充弹药、油料、器材等。 　　“向作战地域开进！”5时18分，团长一声令下，上百辆坦克、步兵战车排成三条长龙飞奔作战地域。 　　［相关链接］几年前，装甲团进行紧急拉动演练，全团集合就用了50多分钟。今年，该团从首长、机关到营连分队，都制定了一整套紧急出动、战备等级转换、抢险救灾等战备行动预案，并坚持不定期组织实兵、实装拉动演练。在此基础上，团里研制了一批便携式野战箱、柜，实现了战备器材装箱化、弹药补给精确化、紧急出动程序化，使部队远程机动能力明显提高。 　　网上鏖战虚拟对抗 　　［演练实录］作战时间4月16日6时许。突然，信息传输员报告：“团指挥系统受到‘敌方’破坏干扰，通信指挥中断。” 　　“立即启动信息化作战单元指挥平台，对‘敌’干扰雷达、破袭分队进行搜索，实施电磁压制和火力打击。”无线电台传来“红军”指挥员沉着冷静的命令。很快，“红军”就将“蓝军”目标逐一锁定。“红军”信息化作战单元指挥屏幕上显示：“敌”一个加强坦克连正借助强电子干扰和烟雾遮障快速穿插，企图利用正面火力突袭的间隙，对“红军”指挥所实施偷袭。 　　面对“蓝军”的电磁干扰和突然袭击，“红军”沉着应战，利用“蓝军”电磁压制的间隙，巧妙地通过自动化作战指挥局域网源源不断地将敌情通报、作战命令传输到演练一线。 　　［相关链接］面对新军事变革的挑战，装甲团确立了“以现有装备为平台，以无线数据网为载体，以作战指挥流程为主线，以指挥控制为重点”的信息化建设总体规划，构建起团、营、连、排、班（车）五位一体的信息化作战模块，实现了团指挥网络一体化。 　　铁拳突击攻如猛虎 　　［演练实录］作战时间4月17日凌晨3时许，牛首山某山谷。“嗖，嗖，嗖！”“红军”数枚车载导弹喷射出橘黄色的火舌，呼啸着扑向“蓝军”阵地，对进攻之“敌”进行了猛烈打击。 　　随着战场态势的变化。各作战群（队）长下达了火力打击的命令。“轰！轰！轰！”榴弹炮、坦克炮、车载导弹大显神威，各种火力呼啸着向“敌”目标飞去…… 　　铁拳突击，攻如猛虎。一时间，一发发愤怒的炮弹砸在“蓝军”阵地上，“蓝军”的防线开始土崩瓦解。“红军”一举攻克“蓝军”阵地。 　　随着3发绿色信号弹升空，演练落下帷幕。此刻，“陆地铁拳”的旗帜高高飘扬在“蓝军”6号高地上。 　　［相关链接］这次综合演练，装甲团整建制挺进腾格里沙漠和高山峡谷等复杂地域，进行了实兵实装对抗演练。他们采取全要素之间练协同、模块之间练集成的方法，探索模块整合训练的具体内容、方法手段，探索实战背景下的作战编组、指挥模式、基本战法等，实现了单一作战模块内各个作战要素的有机整合。 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000024/13.txt ================================================ 　　本报特约通讯员 刘一代 本报特约记者 王永孝 　　阳春时节，记者来到第二炮兵指挥学院作战实验室，浓浓的信息化气息扑面而来。作战实验室主任甄明安告诉记者：“我们的目标是‘出了实验室，就能上战场’，如今已有近2000名学员在这里接受过对抗模拟演练。” 　　“模拟战争”学打仗 　　未来战场是什么样子？这是军事专家和各级指挥员共同关注和深入研究的一个重要问题。 　　战争年代，可以在战争中学会打仗，而和平时期，可以通过“模拟战争”学打仗。那么，“模拟战争”如何实现呢？ 　　战斗精神和技能的培育，离不开战场环境的熏陶。只有把官兵投入到逼真的“战场”环境当中，才能在“实战”中锤炼出过硬的战斗胆识和技能。 　　解决这些严峻的现实问题，都离不开一个逼真的“战场”！然而，要建设一个这样的平台又谈何容易！对于素有“百人一杆枪”之称的战略导弹部队来说，开展实战背景下的导弹发射训练，所需的导弹武器装备、协同要素、操作号手相对较多，设置战场环境，简直困难重重。 　　打造适应未来战争需要高素质人才的紧迫感牵动着学院的上上下下。院长李体林亲自挂帅，跑机关、下部队，协调有关业务部门充分调研论证。他们以自身的科技力量为依托，经过多年努力，终于建成了集“导调指挥、战场仿真、监测评估、训练管理、综合保障”等多功能为一体的作战实验室。. 　　激烈对抗练真功 　　作战实验室的功能到底有多大？4月上旬，记者在这个实验室目睹了一场“某型导弹部队作战演习”。只见“红”、“蓝”指挥所双方指挥员根据战场发展的态势，正在果断地下达各种作战命令。电子显示屏上，战场态势瞬息万变。“蓝军”第一波次导弹猛烈地突击后，“红军”阵地硝烟弥漫。“红”“蓝”两军在虚拟战场上斗智斗勇，时而“红军”阵地被袭，时而“蓝军”战场网络陷入瘫痪。担任各种角色的学员完全将自己置身到战斗之中，在面临强敌进攻时，有的运筹帷幄，有的手忙脚乱。 　　好一个真实的战斗场面！据介绍，这是作战实验室的三维视景仿真系统，它由战场观察模块、视景仿真实体、视景数据库等组成，用于三维战场场景的生成。有了它，人员、装备的真实性和地形的立体感大大增强，学员在这里学习训练，如同身临其境。 　　“实验室就是战场。”这是深深根植于该院师生心中的一个观念。利用实验室对抗演练，该院要求每一名参演学员一进入“战场”，必须进入“战斗”状态，每一批学员都要结合新装备使用、新战法攻关和新课目试训，将理论和实践、技术和战术、战法和训法有机地结合起来，拿出自己的对策，在“炮火硝烟”中砥砺打赢本领。 　　七个学科撑起一个“平台” 　　更让人惊喜的是，作战实验室的建成，把军种战役学、作战指挥学等7个学科群有机地融合在一起。7个学科群专业有别，又互有联系，一体化的教学功能大大增强。 　　加强软件开发，拓展作战实验室功能。该院集中力量研制并开发出用于作战指挥、战法训练和作战实验研究的各型导弹训练模拟系统，以及一体化联合作战指挥训练系统等10多套软件系统，这些系统基本满足了第二炮兵部队各级指挥员提高作战指挥能力的培训和信息化作战功能、作战指挥效能的实验研究需要，从而使作战实验室成为多学科知识的交会点。 　　突出集团意识，建设作战实验室群。该院以作战实验室为核心，将作战指挥学、军种战役学、合同战术学等学科的专业实验室，第二炮兵作战模拟实验中心，装备指挥自动化实验室等重点教学场所与作战实验室联为一体，通过网上互通，构建起了一个庞大的作战实验室群，实现了跨学科建设资源的综合利用。 　　注重课题牵引，培养学科学术带头人。围绕作战实验室的建设，学院先后投资700多万元，遴选60多个课题，吸纳10多个教研室的教员参与课题研究，培养出一大批在全军有影响的中青年导弹专家。 　　作战实验室的功能不断拓展，并发展成为全军重点建设项目。如今，作战实验室已成为学院信息技术的聚焦地和信息交流中心，多学科专业知识在这里交会融合，促进了学科建设整体水平的提高。在实验室建设的推动下，该学院第二炮兵战役学科被评为全军重点学科，战役学博士后科研流动站在该院正式挂牌。 ================================================ FILE:

文章认为，台军在距离大陆沿海16——60公里的岛屿部署了大批导弹，这不但是一种对大陆的挑衅，从军事角度讲，这也是一种自寻死路的表现。据此前的分析认为，大陆远程火炮技术世界领先，解放军几乎拥有各种型号各种射程的火炮，一旦开战，台军那些金贵的导弹将完全置于大陆海量的火炮射程之内，解放军不用费多大力气就能用相对廉价的火炮彻底摧毁台军导弹阵地。资料图：解放军现役的203毫米口径巨炮，该炮可将96公斤重的弹丸倾泻到对方阵地，造成可怕的破坏效果。 　　台湾布导弹　威胁闽江口 　　5月6日，台湾东森新闻台独家披露称，台湾军方正在离大陆仅约60公里的东引岛配置“雄风二型”反舰导弹，这是台军方首次在台湾最北端的小岛配置反舰导弹。分析家认为，台军此举极具有挑衅性。 　　台湾东森电视台5月6日独家透露，台湾“国防部”、“海军司令部”已经正式决定：在距离大陆只有60公里左右的台湾最北端的小岛——东引岛配置射程可达150公里的岸射型“雄风二型”反舰导弹。一旦完成部署，台军就可以有效扼制大陆闽江口，占有制海的军事优势。 　　有台湾军方高官放话说，部署在东引的“雄风二型”导弹，对解放军自北而下的东海舰队有“吓阻作用”。通过在东引岛上部署各种尖端武器，以长短渐进的层次，形成有效防御，增加战略纵深，东引岛还与基隆的两处“天弓”导弹阵地呼应，借此确保台澎金马的空域安全，从而构成“捍卫台湾空防的第一道防线”和“对大陆进行反击的前沿阵地”，实现台湾当局所谓的“决战境外”的战略构想。 　　事实上，台军在东引岛上部署导弹并非新鲜事，两年前英国《简氏防务周刊》就报道，台湾军队在东引岛上兴建了大型导弹和雷达基地，以“遏制”大陆海空军越过台海攻击。 　　台军官员曾表示：“东引岛部署‘天弓’导弹，打击面可覆盖大陆沿海各主要机场。”“天弓”导弹分为阵地部署或机动部署。以东引岛的地形特质，“天弓”导弹应以阵地部署，并以垂直发射担任战备。另外，东引岛还部署有担任低空防御的美国“毒刺”导弹。因此，有评论认为，台军在马祖建导弹和雷达基地，目的是限制大陆海空军在台湾海峡北端的机动能力。 　　两年前已经部署的两类防空导弹，现在加上“雄风”二型导弹，小小的东引岛上部署了台军三类最核心的导弹群。 　　台湾当局为达成其“以武拒统”的图谋，近年来一直在加强金门、马祖、乌丘和东引四岛的军事力量，企图将金马二岛变为台军实施防卫作战的第一道防御线。其实这道防线，只能给自己壮壮胆。东引岛所在马祖诸岛距福建沿海最近只有16公里，就在大陆的眼皮底下——不管部署在这些岛屿上的台军火力有多强，都抵挡不住远程大炮的“饱和轰击”。 　　台军弹药库有大约300个，从分布情况来看，不仅数量不多，而且过于集中，易于摧毁。台军高层评估说，如果台海战事爆发，台军半数以上的军火库可能遭到摧毁。这些外岛会成为一座座孤岛。台湾军方想激怒大陆？ 文章认为，台军在距离大陆沿海16——60公里的岛屿部署了大批导弹，这不但是一种对大陆的挑衅，从军事角度讲，这也是一种自寻死路的表现。据此前的分析认为，大陆远程火炮技术世界领先，解放军几乎拥有各种型号各种射程的火炮，一旦开战，台军那些金贵的导弹将完全置于大陆海量的火炮射程之内，解放军不用费多大力气就能用相对廉价的火炮彻底摧毁台军导弹阵地。资料图：解放军各型远程压制武器

　　台湾军方和当局在东引岛的军事部署其实别有用心。 　　当前中美关系升温，并且布什政府对陈水扁的不满越来越强烈。在这种情况下，台湾当局很想通过主动挑衅来激怒大陆回应，然后换得美国对台湾的支持，以达到分离中美关系的目的。 　　同时，这种部署，是对“汉光演习”暴露弱点的修复。5月4日，台“国防部”公布“汉光22号”演习结果，计算机裁定显示，在敌方无人遥控飞机、导弹及空中首波攻击下，三军主战战力尚能保存，但导弹阵地、机场、雷达站等固定设施，在预警与反导弹能力不足之下会严重受损，只能勉强保存战力。台军并非首度高唱自己的导弹与反导能力不足，台军的根本目的，其实就是换取外界对其研发导弹，增强军力的支持。 　　参考词典 　　东引岛 　　东引岛是马祖列岛最东端的一个小岛。长期以来，东引岛一直是台军马祖防区的一个重要据点，从上世纪50年代到70年代，台湾所谓“反共救国军指挥部”就设在这里。 　　东引岛上有一个可停泊5000吨船舰的中柱港，和一座直升机机场。东引岛属于山岳型岛屿，岛上地质为花岗岩，四周都是悬崖峭壁，完全没有沙滩，海边水深最浅处都有2米，是一个完全不可能进行两栖登陆的岛屿，若想占领此岛，惟有利用直升机实施空降。所以，台军认为，他们可以在这个小岛上“同大陆打持久战”。台军在岛上部署了“毒刺”防空导弹，就是为了预防解放军实施直升机空降突袭。 　　“雄风”二型反舰导弹 　　“雄风”2是台湾中山科学研究院仿照美国“捕鲸叉”，研制的第二代亚音速中程反舰导弹。 　　它与美国的“捕鲸叉”相似，采用Ｘ型配置的正常式气动布局，弹长3．9米，直径0．35米，采用可折叠式弹翼，翼展0．9米。导弹的发射重量为500公斤，所带大量燃料使其具有超视距攻击能力。导弹的巡航速度为0．9马赫，巡航高度低于15米导弹的命中率达到了90％。台军在距离大陆沿海16——60公里的岛屿部署了大批导弹

据共同社报道，围绕导弹防御系统(MD)问题，日本海上自卫队9日宣布，将派海上自卫队“宙斯盾”舰参加美国即将于6月在夏威夷近海实施的海基型拦截导弹(SM3)的拦截试验，对目标进行雷达跟踪。 　　“宙斯盾”护卫舰是首次参加此类拦截演习。海上自卫队幕僚长(相当于参谋长)斋藤隆表示，“将力争提高双方在海上的相互协调性”，由此可见，日美在MD方面共享信息等合作体制将进一步得到确立。 　　据海上自卫队透露，预定参加此次演习的是曾经根据《反恐特别措施法》在阿拉伯海上进行过海上燃油补给活动的“雾岛(KIRISHIMA)”号(7250吨)。美国海军的“宙斯盾”舰计划用SM3对模拟弹道导弹进行拦截,而“雾岛”号将跟踪模拟弹道导弹的轨迹。 　　“雾岛”号计划于本月从位于神奈川县的横须贺基地出发，在参加拦截试验结束后还将参加环太平洋联合演习。 　　美国迄今为止曾6次成功地进行了SM3拦截试验。日本政府将于2007年度年底开始为海上自卫队的”宙斯盾”护卫舰装备SM3。 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000024/16.txt

================================================ 　　新华网北京5月9日电题：强军兴军的科学方略——科学发展观引领人民军队阔步前进 　　记者贾永、曹智 　　处在新的历史发展时期的人民军队，军事斗争准备和改革、建设、发展的任务十分繁重。如何推动国防和军队建设又快又好发展，有效履行新世纪新阶段我军历史使命？ 　　中央军委主席胡锦涛指出：要自觉把科学发展观贯彻落实到国防和军队建设的各个领域和全过程，实现国防和军队建设全面协调可持续发展。 　　潮平两岸阔，风正一帆悬。前进在科学发展轨道上的人民军队，正在发生着日新月异的变化。 　　科学发展观：加强国防和军队建设的重要指导方针 　　党的旗帜就是军队的旗帜。全军和武警部队着眼于在军队建设中把科学发展观这一重要指导方针牢固确立起来，不断有新的举措、新的进展—— 　　军委、总部作出一系列部署，下发《关于全军部队深入学习宣传贯彻科学发展观的意见》，委托国防大学举办新世纪新阶段我军历史使命理论研讨班，编印《树立和落实科学发展观理论学习读本》，发全军团以上领导干部。各级把科学发展观纳入党委中心组学习和干部轮训内容，纳入部队思想政治教育，纳入院校教育教学，全军团以上领导干部普遍轮训一遍。 　　全军部队开展忠实履行新世纪新阶段我军历史使命教育活动，突出学习贯彻科学发展观这个主题。各级党委及时对学习贯彻科学发展观进行研究部署，并结合部队实际制定具体落实措施。军师级单位普遍编写学习辅导材料。各单位通过重点抓团以上领导干部，促进和带动部队的学习贯彻。 　　军队理论工作者深入研究阐释科学发展观，取得了一批高质量的研究成果，新闻、出版、文艺等单位推出了一批优秀作品和图书、音像读物。由总政治部向全军推荐的《八荣八耻人人须知》等歌曲，已唱响座座军营。全军先后召开学习贯彻江泽民国防和军队建设思想研讨会，在国防和军队建设中贯彻落实科学发展观座谈会。各部队制定建设发展规划，研究出台政策制度，破解重点难点问题等，都自觉做到谋划发展以科学发展观为依据，指导工作以科学发展观为遵循，检查成效以科学发展观为准绳。 　　2005年9月，中央军委转发北京军区某防空旅按照科学发展观要求全面加强部队建设的基本经验，号召全军部队坚持瞄着信息化，主动有作为，科学搞建设，实干求发展…… 　　在科学发展观的指引下，我军革命化现代化正规化建设取得长足进展。裁减军队员额20万，规模基本适度。我军官兵思想政治觉悟不断提高，高素质新型军事人才成批涌现……科学发展观的基本观点和要求，正在转化为三军将士推进国防和军队建设的巨大动力。 　　贴近实战：演兵场劲吹求真务实之风 　　战机、装甲车纵横驰骋，看得见的导弹、炮弹，看不见的无线电波往复穿梭……2005年金秋时节，一场代号“北剑－2005”的对抗性军事演习在内蒙古草原深处举行。 　　这场实兵演习不设预案，战斗行动完全由对抗双方指挥员自主决定。24个国家的军事观察员现地观摩。中国军队开放与务实的作风，透过秋日里的硝烟战火展示给了世界。 　　回眸一年来演兵场出现的新变化，《军事学术》杂志总编辑胡文龙感慨道：“紧贴实战，从难从严训练，求真务实之风劲吹演兵场。” 　　2006年年初，解放军四总部向全军发出年度军事训练考核结果通报。在以往一贯以表彰为主的通报中首次出现了3个由军事训练一级降为二级单位的名单。这次考核首次运用“部队演习评估系统”，从指挥控制、远程机动、火力打击、整体防护和综合保障5个方面对陆军部队整体作战能力进行了全面检验。 　　着眼于增强我军信息化条件下的威慑和实战能力，仗怎么打、兵就怎么练—— 　　联合指挥所里，不同来源的陆海空天电系统打通了信息壁垒；实兵训练场上，蓝天的战机与地面的战车保持着“对话”；空地联合火力突击，直升机携轻型机械化分队纵深攻击……经过两年多的探索，成都军区陆空一体化训练令人耳目一新。 　　成都军区参谋长吕登明对此评价说，“陆空一体化训练，使空中地面各种力量在行动中形成了一个完整的整体。” 　　与此同时，各部队还把未来的战场搬进了虚拟的网络空间——用计算机网络构成的“战争实验室”。从装甲车驾驶到战机、战舰操作，仿真模拟器材已成为提高官兵军事素质和训练水平的重要手段。 　　与国家信息化建设相同步，2005年，全军各部队共举办信息化讲座和高新技术知识培训班7000余场次。一年中，全军部队普遍进行了信息化条件下的拉动、演练…… 　　我军的军事训练进一步走上全面、协调和可持续发展轨道，在复杂形势下有效应对危机、维护和平、遏制战争、打赢战争的能力不断增强。 　　以人为本：激发出前所未有的创造活力 　　“从抗菌内裤、抗菌袜到温寒区棉衣、士兵皮鞋，”有着4年兵龄的武警总部一级士官王君，指着今年“五一”前刚刚下发的新夏常服说，“从里到外，这几年换发的新品种加起来有十六七件。” 　　透视全军和武警部队历年来十余次换装不难发现，以人为本，正体现在诸如换发军服这样的一处处细节中—— 　　根据军事训练强度和营养素供给制定科学食谱，基层官兵的饮食结构正在从温饱型转向营养型；边海防一线，昔日的木制、铁塔式哨楼，已被永久式砖木、钢筋混凝土结构的哨楼所代替；远程医疗会诊系统把全军各级医院连在了一起，患病官兵不论身处何方，都能在第一时间内得到专家诊断；入党、提干、考学、选取士官等过去被认为是敏感的问题，战士们可以通过局域网公开评议；士官文化补习学校和各种专业技术培训班遍布军营…… 　　点点滴滴，体现了人民军队以人为本的治军理念。 　　来玉楔环扳手、亚平模拟燃油开启活门……走进南海舰队军械技术保障大队荣誉室，用士官名字命名的技术和革新成果引人注目。在北京军区某防空旅和济南军区某摩步师，普通士兵参与了全军性训练大纲的编修；在沈阳军区、兰州军区，来自士兵的建设性意见写入了军区年度工作计划……以人为本，激发出官兵前所未有的创造活力。 　　而人才战略工程的实施，则更加有力地推进了部队建设水平的提高。2005年7月，我军首期中青年领导干部培训班毕业，一群平均年龄只有42．5岁的师职干部经过深造后从国防大学走向演兵场。这一年的金桂飘香时节，全军在110多所普通高校招收的1．2万余名国防生，又陆续走进地方大学校园。与此同时，我军招收的第八批女飞行员也进入空军航空大学，她们将成为选拔培养中国女航天员的储备力量…… 　　目前，我军作战部队军师团领导95％以上具有大专以上文化程度，空军一线飞行员全部具有大学学历，海军一线舰长100％毕业于专业院校，第二炮兵部队的技术军官几乎都具有学士以上学位。 　　科学管理：后勤和装备建设在创新中频添活力 　　公交车开进部队大院，地方的饮食公司取代部队的自办食堂，越来越多的军人住上了地方经济适用房。随着军队后勤保障日益市场化、社会化，全军部队目前集中采购的规模已达到150亿元，资金节约率在7％左右。 　　“我们基地通过竞争机制，与4家地方公司签订了生活物资供应协议，食品配送、煤气供应、粮油保障全部交由他们办理，不但提高了效率，而且经费节约率达1／3左右。”驻澳门部队珠海基地物资采购供应站管理员方仁迎说。 　　2004年7月1日，中央军委在济南战区实施的大联勤改革试点正式启动，我军后勤体制改革开始了历史性跨越。 　　我军正处于由机械化半机械化向信息化跨越式发展的重要战略机遇期，需要很大的投入。把有限的军费管好用好，用在刀刃上，用出效益来，既是贯彻落实科学发展观的必然要求，也是一个紧迫而重大的现实课题。 　　全军和武警部队采取有力措施，确保有限财力最大限度地转化为保障力、战斗力—— 　　推行预算编制改革，建设军队财务管理信息系统，严格执行财经法规制度，目前军以下部队标准经费收支平衡率已稳定在95％以上，旅团部队生活费规范化管理达标率为85％以上。 　　2005年8月，中央军委批转了《总后勤部关于大力加强军队资源节约工作的意见》，建设节约型军营蔚然成风。 　　我军武器装备建设注重顶层设计，坚持走以信息化为主导、机械化信息化复合发展的道路，几年间，建成一批武器装备科研生产基地，武器装备的研发、试验验证、集成、制造能力进一步提升，一批新型信息化作战平台、精确制导弹药、电子对抗装备陆续装备部队，武器装备的综合保障水平有了新的提高，逐步向全系统、全寿命管理的方向发展。 　　2006年刚刚开始，我军陆军装备采购向市场化改革迈出坚实步伐——20余家优秀高科技民营企业经过遴选，逐步进入试点单位武汉军代局所承担任务的配套市场，10余家实力雄厚的非军工国有企业加入到军品市场竞争行列。这些企业生产的20多种陆军装备配套产品，合格率达99．1％…… 　　解放思想、开拓创新，积极转变管理领导方式，为我军建设的科学发展提供了更具活力的体制机制保证。 　　统筹兼顾：大局下行动谱写出军民团结新篇章 　　这是中俄联合军事演习期间发生在山东半岛的一幕—— 　　为确保海上实兵演练按时展开，胶南市组织群众清理附近海域，7个村庄近5000名群众秩序井然地疏散，近百艘渔船静静泊进港湾，开阔迷人的旅游海滩空无一人…… 　　在经济发展的基础上推进国防建设，把国防建设融入经济社会发展体系之中，如今已成为全社会的共识—— 　　在广东，3次获得“全国双拥模范城”的江门市，帮助驻军建成了“驻军信息化指挥网”“国防教育网”；在西部，各地利用西部大开发的有利时机，新增、改扩建国防公路和边防公路16条。而过去一年，全国上千所大专院校和科研院所就为部队举办高技术知识讲座2万余次，帮助轮训官兵5万多人次…… 　　在各级政府和人民群众的支援下，过去交通不便、信息闭塞的万里边防，如今都通上了公路。无论是全军海拔最高的神仙湾哨所，还是帕米尔高原之巅的红其拉甫前哨班，各部队都已开通了局域网…… 　　人民子弟兵也把参加和支援地方经济建设，作为自己义不容辞的职责，谱写出一曲曲拥政爱民的新乐章。 　　川藏公路——西藏繁荣与稳定的生命线。担负进藏物资运输任务的成都军区川藏兵站部的汽车兵们，沿线援建的46个文明村、小康村，成了雪域高原的一道人文景观。 　　在海南岛，部队参与建设的125个生态文明村已初具规模。在新疆、在内蒙古，在广大少数民族地区，5000多个军民共建点成为促进民族团结和社会发展的重要基地。 　　传播法律知识，开展移风易俗，创建和谐社区，建设生态家园，遍及全国的5万多个军民共建点，正在被广大军民不断赋予科学发展观的时代内涵。 　　浦寨——几年前，广西中越边境15号界碑旁一个只有13户人家的小村落，随着边境排雷的结束，已经发展成为一座商贾云集的现代化边城。 　　“看着边寨群众一天天富起来，我们由衷地高兴啊！”驻守在中越边境的广西边防某团哨长魏远航说。 　　国防建设与经济建设协调发展，正和谐统一在亿万军民富国强兵的不懈追求中。 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/Database/SogouC/Sample/C000024/19.txt

　　以军一位发言人7日说：“根据以色列国防军军纪，北方司令部决定实施更加严格的政策，使士兵的穿着符合纪律规定。”以色列女兵纷纷抱怨说，军装不能很好地展示她们的身材。为了追赶时尚潮流，这些女兵们经常重新设计自己的军装，有些人甚至把它们改成了低腰裤。然而，女兵们爱美的天性并没有获得军队指挥官的同情，他们认为，低腰裤严重威胁着以军的纪律基础。 　　以军要求女兵们把那些改过的低腰裤交到军需商店，以换回符合规定的军裤。此外，目前已经约有120名女兵因穿着违规低腰裤而被关禁闭。　 ================================================ FILE: P001-Naive-Bayes-Text-Classifier/NaiveBayes-TextClassifier.ipynb

"$$P(“属于某类”|“具有某特征”)=P(“具有某特征”|“属于某类”)P(“属于某类”)P(“具有某特征”)$$ \n", "我们简化解释一下上述公式：\n", "\n", "- $P(“属于某类”|“具有某特征”)=$在已知某样本“具有某特征”的条件下，该样本“属于某类”的概率。所以叫做『后验概率』。\n", "- $P(“具有某特征”|“属于某类”)$= 在已知某样本“属于某类”的条件下，该样本“具有某特征”的概率。 \n", "- $P(“属于某类”)$= （在未知某样本具有该“具有某特征”的条件下，）该样本“属于某类”的概率。所以叫做『先验概率』。\n", "- $P(“具有某特征”)$= (在未知某样本“属于某类”的条件下，)该样本“具有某特征”的概率。\n", "\n", "而我们二分类问题的最终目的就是要判断$P(“属于某类”|“具有某特征”)$是否大于1/2就够了。贝叶斯方法把计算**\"具有某特征的条件下属于某类\"**的概率转换成需要计算“属于某类的条件下具有某特征”的概率，而后者获取方法就简单多了，我们只需要找到一些包含已知特征标签的样本，即可进行训练。而样本的类别标签都是明确的，所以贝叶斯方法在机器学习里属于有监督学习方法。\n", "\n", "这里再补充一下，一般『先验概率』、『后验概率』是相对出现的，比如 P(Y) 与 P(Y|X) 是关于 Y 的先验概率与后验概率， P(X) 与 P(X|Y) 是关于 X 的先验概率与后验概率。" ] }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "metadata": {}, "source": [ "## 搜狗新闻主题分类\n", "-

朴素贝叶斯与应用

by 寒小阳(hanxiaoyang.ml@gmail.com)

贝叶斯理论简单回顾

在我们有一大堆样本（包含特征和类别）的时候，我们非常容易通过统计得到 $p(特征|类别)$.

大家又都很熟悉下述公式：

$$p(x)p(y|x) = p(y)p(x|y)$$

所以做一个小小的变换

$$p(特征)p(类别|特征) = p(类别)p(特征|类别)$$$$p(类别|特征) = \frac{p(类别)p(特征|类别)}{p(特征)}$$

独立假设

看起来很简单，但实际上，你的特征可能是很多维的

$$p(features|class) = p({f_0, f_1, \ldots ,f_n}|c)$$

就算是2个维度吧，可以简单写成

$$p({f_0, f_1}|c) = p(f_1|c, f_0)p(f_0|c)$$

这时候我们加一个特别牛逼的假设：特征之间是独立的。这样就得到了

$$p({f_0, f_1}|c) = p(f_1|c)p(f_0|c)$$

其实也就是：

$$p({f_0, f_1, \ldots, f_n}|c) = \Pi^n_i p(f_i|c)$$

贝叶斯分类器

OK，回到机器学习，其实我们就是对每个类别计算一个概率$p(c_i)$，然后再计算所有特征的条件概率$p(f_j|c_i)$，那么分类的时候我们就是依据贝叶斯找一个最可能的类别：

$$p(class_i|{f_0, f_1, \ldots, f_n})= \frac{p(class_i)}{p({f_0, f_1, \ldots, f_n})} \Pi^n_j p(f_j|c_i)$$

named_entity_recognition/README.md ================================================ # 中文命名实体识别 ## 数据集 本项目尝试使用了多种不同的模型（包括HMM，CRF，Bi-LSTM，Bi-LSTM+CRF）来解决中文命名实体识别问题，数据集用的是论文ACL 2018[Chinese NER using Lattice LSTM](https://github.com/jiesutd/LatticeLSTM)中收集的简历数据，数据的格式如下，它的每一行由一个字及其对应的标注组成，标注集采用BIOES，句子之间用一个空行隔开。 ``` 美 B-LOC 国 E-LOC 的 O 华 B-PER 莱 I-PER 士 E-PER 我 O 跟 O 他 O 谈 O 笑 O 风 O 生 O ``` 该数据集就位于项目目录下的`ResumeNER`文件夹里。 ## 运行结果 下面是四种不同的模型以及这Ensemble这四个模型预测结果的准确率（取最好）： | | HMM | CRF | BiLSTM | BiLSTM+CRF | Ensemble | | ---- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ---------- | -------- | | 召回率 | 91.22% | 95.43% | 95.32% | 95.72% | 95.65% | | 准确率 | 91.49% | 95.43% | 95.37% | 95.74% | 95.69% | | F1分数 | 91.30% | 95.42% | 95.32% | 95.70% | 95.64% | 最后一列Ensemble是将这四个模型的预测结果结合起来，使用“投票表决”的方法得出最后的预测结果。 （Ensemble的三个指标均不如BiLSTM+CRF，可以认为在Ensemble过程中，是其他三个模型拖累了BiLSTM+CRF） 具体的输出可以查看`output.txt`文件。 ## 快速开始 首先安装依赖项： ``` pip3 install -r requirement.txt ``` 安装完毕之后，直接使用 ``` python3 main.py ``` 即可训练以及评估模型，评估模型将会打印出模型的精确率、召回率、F1分数值以及混淆矩阵，如果想要修改相关模型参数或者是训练参数，可以在`./models/config.py`文件中进行设置。 训练完毕之后，如果想要加载并评估模型，运行如下命令： ```shell python3 test.py ``` 下面是这些模型的简单介绍（github网页对数学公式的支持不太好，涉及公式的部分无法正常显示，[我的博客](https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/61227299) 有对这些模型以及代码更加详细的介绍）： ## 隐马尔可夫模型（Hidden Markov Model，HMM） 隐马尔可夫模型描述由一个隐藏的马尔科夫链随机生成不可观测的状态随机序列，再由各个状态生成一个观测而产生观测随机序列的过程（李航 统计学习方法）。隐马尔可夫模型由初始状态分布，状态转移概率矩阵以及观测概率矩阵所确定。 命名实体识别本质上可以看成是一种序列标注问题，在使用HMM解决命名实体识别这种序列标注问题的时候，我们所能观测到的是字组成的序列（观测序列），观测不到的是每个字对应的标注（状态序列）。 **初始状态分布**就是每一个标注的初始化概率，**状态转移概率矩阵**就是由某一个标注转移到下一个标注的概率（就是若前一个词的标注为$tag_i$ ，则下一个词的标注为$tag_j$的概率为 $M_{ij}$），**观测概率矩阵**就是指在 某个标注下，生成某个词的概率。 HMM模型的训练过程对应隐马尔可夫模型的学习问题（李航 统计学习方法）， 实际上就是根据训练数据根据最大似然的方法估计模型的三个要素，即上文提到的初始状态分布、状态转移概率矩阵以及观测概率矩阵，模型训练完毕之后，利用模型进行解码，即对给定观测序列，求它对应的状态序列，这里就是对给定的句子，求句子中的每个字对应的标注，针对这个解码问题，我们使用的是维特比（viterbi）算法。 具体的细节可以查看 `models/hmm.py`文件。 ## 条件随机场（Conditional Random Field, CRF) HMM模型中存在两个假设，一是输出观察值之间严格独立，二是状态转移过程中当前状态只与前一状态有关。也就是说，在命名实体识别的场景下，HMM认为观测到的句子中的每个字都是相互独立的，而且当前时刻的标注只与前一时刻的标注相关。但实际上，命名实体识别往往需要更多的特征，比如词性，词的上下文等等，同时当前时刻的标注应该与前一时刻以及后一时刻的标注都相关联。由于这两个假设的存在，显然HMM模型在解决命名实体识别的问题上是存在缺陷的。 条件随机场通过引入自定义的特征函数，不仅可以表达观测之间的依赖，还可表示当前观测与前后多个状态之间的复杂依赖，可以有效克服HMM模型面临的问题。 为了建立一个条件随机场，我们首先要定义一个特征函数集，该函数集内的每个特征函数都以标注序列作为输入，提取的特征作为输出。假设该函数集为： ![函数集](./imgs/func_set.png) 其中$x=(x_1, ..., x_m)$表示观测序列，$s = (s_1, ...., s_m)$表示状态序列。然后，条件随机场使用对数线性模型来计算给定观测序列下状态序列的条件概率： ![log_linear_crf](./imgs/log_linear_crf.png) 其中$s^{'}$是是所有可能的状态序列，$w$是条件随机场模型的参数，可以把它看成是每个特征函数的权重。CRF模型的训练其实就是对参数$w$的估计。假设我们有$n$个已经标注好的数据$\{(x^i, s^i)\}_{i=1}^n$， 则其对数似然函数的正则化形式如下： ![log_likehood_crf](./imgs/log_likehood_crf.png) 那么，最优参数$w^*$就是： ![w_crf](./imgs/w_crf.png) 模型训练结束之后，对给定的观测序列$x$，它对应的最优状态序列应该是： ![decode_crf](./imgs/decode_crf.png) 解码的时候与HMM类似，也可以采用维特比算法。 具体的细节可以查看 `models/crf.py`文件。 ## Bi-LSTM 除了以上两种基于概率图模型的方法，LSTM也常常被用来解决序列标注问题。和HMM、CRF不同的是，LSTM是依靠神经网络超强的非线性拟合能力，在训练时将样本通过高维空间中的复杂非线性变换，学习到从样本到标注的函数，之后使用这个函数为指定的样本预测每个token的标注。下方就是使用双向LSTM（双向能够更好的捕捉序列之间的依赖关系）进行序列标注的示意图： ![biLSTM_NER](./imgs/biLSTM_NER.png) 基于双向LSTM的序列标注模型实现可以查看`models/bilstm.py`文件。 ## Bi-LSTM+CRF LSTM的优点是能够通过双向的设置学习到观测序列（输入的字）之间的依赖，在训练过程中，LSTM能够根据目标（比如识别实体）自动提取观测序列的特征，但是缺点是无法学习到状态序列（输出的标注）之间的关系，要知道，在命名实体识别任务中，标注之间是有一定的关系的，比如B类标注（表示某实体的开头）后面不会再接一个B类标注，所以LSTM在解决NER这类序列标注任务时，虽然可以省去很繁杂的特征工程，但是也存在无法学习到标注上下文的缺点。 相反，CRF的优点就是能对隐含状态建模，学习状态序列的特点，但它的缺点是需要手动提取序列特征。所以一般的做法是，在LSTM后面再加一层CRF，以获得两者的优点。 具体的实现请查看`models/bilstm_crf.py` ## 代码中一些需要注意的点 * HMM模型中要处理OOV(Out of vocabulary)的问题，就是测试集里面有些字是不在训练集里面的， 这个时候通过观测概率矩阵是无法查询到OOV对应的各种状态的概率的，处理这个问题可以将OOV对应的状态的概率分布设为均匀分布。 * HMM的三个参数（即状态转移概率矩阵、观测概率矩阵以及初始状态概率矩阵）在使用监督学习方法进行估计的过程中，如果有些项从未出现，那么该项对应的位置就为0，而在使用维特比算法进行解码的时候，计算过程需要将这些值相乘，那么如果其中有为0的项，那么整条路径的概率也变成0了。此外，解码过程中多个小概率相乘很可能出现下溢的情况，为了解决这两个问题，我们给那些从未出现过的项赋予一个很小的数(如0.00000001)，同时在进行解码的时候将模型的三个参数都映射到对数空间，这样既可以避免下溢，又可以简化乘法运算。 * CRF中将训练数据以及测试数据作为模型的输入之前，都需要先用特征函数提取特征！ * Bi-LSTM+CRF模型可以参考：[Neural Architectures for Named Entity Recognition](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.01360.pdf)，可以重点看一下里面的损失函数的定义。代码里面关于损失函数的计算采用的是类似动态规划的方法，不是很好理解，这里推荐看一下以下这些博客： * [CRF Layer on the Top of BiLSTM - 5](https://createmomo.github.io/2017/11/11/CRF-Layer-on-the-Top-of-BiLSTM-5/) * [Bi-LSTM-CRF for Sequence Labeling PENG](https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/27338210) * [Pytorch Bi-LSTM + CRF 代码详解](https://blog.csdn.net/cuihuijun1hao/article/details/79405740) ## TODO * BI-LSTM+CRF 比起Bi-LSTM效果并没有好很多，一种可能的解释是： - 数据集太小，不足够让模型学习到转移矩阵（后续尝试在更大的数据集上测试一下结果） * 尝试更加复杂的模型，参考论文[Chinese NER using Lattice LSTM](https://github.com/jiesutd/LatticeLSTM) * 更详细的评估结果：打印混淆矩阵，同时输出每种类别的召回率、准确率、F1指标，便于分析。 ================================================ FILE:
