【推荐3】Nike x Corteix | “Rules the World”
The crazy and surreal ad described a world where the launch was canceled: stock markets crash, people fight on the streets, and a newborn baby cries—calming down only when the shoe drops into their crib. The buzz-worthy film was an original take on fashion marketing while creating a joyful portrait of British street culture,
Taco Bell | “See You Next Tuesday” by The Or
“See you next Tuesday” typically has a vulgar(粗俗)implication. But Taco Bell U. K put a positive change on the phrase’s meaning by applying it across an eye-catching billboard and inviting the British public to enjoy its Taco Tuesday promotion, offering a taco and drink combo for £2. The campaign demonstrated the brand’s signature cheekiness while tapping into British humor to bring a smile to the nation.
Teleflora | “The Hardest Part” by The Wonderful Agency
Teleflora’s campaign for Mother’s Day started with a seconds-long piece of user generated content—a mom sending her kid off to school and, when he’s out of sight, breaking down in tears. It celebrates the bonds between mothers and their children, but turns the focus to the bittersweet feeling of losing the parental control. “It’s a human truth we thought advertising hadn’t touched on before,” said Danielle Mason, vice president of marketing at the brand.
Ikea | “Monsters Not Included” by Ogilvy
During the season, children might see spirit around every corner.

【推荐1】Icelanders have a beautiful tradition of giving books to each other on Christmas Eve and then spending the night reading. This custom is so deeply rooted in the culture that it is the reason for Christmas Book Flood, when the majority of books in Iceland are sold between September and December in preparation for Christmas giving.
“Books get attention here.” Says Baldur Bjarnason, a researcher who has written about the Icelandic book industry.
The small Nordic island, with a population of only 329,000 people, is extraordinarily literary (文学的). They love to read and write. According to a BBC article, “The country has more writers, more books published and more books read, per head, than anywhere else in the world… One in 10 Icelanders will publish a book.”
It seems there is more value placed on physical, paper books than in North America, where e-books have grown in popularity. One bookstore manager said, “The book in Iceland is such an enormous gift-you give a physical book. You don’t give e-books here.” The book industry is driven by the majority of people buying several books each year, rather than the North American pattern of a few people buying lots of books.
It sounds like a wonderful tradition, perfect for a winter evening. It is something that I would love to incorporate (吸收) into my own family’s celebration of Christmas.
1. What do Icelanders do on Christmas Eve?| A．They give books to each other and read books. |
| B．They buy a lot of books to read. |
| C．They check the mailboxes and send cards to friends. |
| D．They get together and sing Christmas songs together. |
| A．329,000 | B．32,900 |
| C．3,290 | D．3,290,000 |
| A．People in Iceland never buy e-books. |
| B．People in North America never buy physical books. |
| C．A few people buy a large number of books in North America. |
| D．In Iceland, everyone buys a large number of books each year. |
【推荐2】The end of the library?
When was the last time you went to your local library? Last week? A month ago? A year ago? For many reasons, fewer people borrow books from libraries. With advances in technology, it is now possible for people to download and read whatever they like on electronic devices such as Kindles at any time. It has been argued that doing this is cheaper than buying hard-copy books.
Call me old-fashioned.
There are still many fantastic ways to use libraries. Maybe we just need to try to recognise them.
| A．Libraries are free. |
| B．I've never got into the e-book. |
| C．I made friends with the school librarian. |
| D．Libraries often organise a series of interesting activities. |
| E．They're also a great way to encourage the use of libraries. |
| F．They plan to hold an all-night reading activity in the library. |
| G．They are also lightweight, making them perfect for travelling |
【推荐3】If you wanted to know what it’s like to walk on the moon, you’d interview an astronaut. If you wanted insights(深刻的见解) on playing Hamlet, you’d study the performance of a Shakespearean actor. And if you wanted to know what the first year of teaching school is like, well... you’d ask teachers who just completed their first year on the job. We wanted to know and we asked.
This book attempts to capture the fascinating and inspiring answers we received. It is based largely on a series of discussions held among winners of the First Class Teacher Award sponsored(赞助) every year by Sallie Mae, a corporation devoted to education. As in the past years, first-year teachers who won the award came to Washington, DC in the fall for a weekend of awards and related events.
One activity that grew out of the awards is a series of focus group discussions. These discussions allow us to ask first-year teachers some key questions: What was it like the first year? What were your hardest challenges and your greatest rewards? Did you get the right preparation? Do you have any insights you could offer new teachers?
The teachers talked in frank terms about what it’s like to feel rebuffed by experienced teachers, to struggle with budget cutbacks, to see children in pain. But the difficulties they related are only half the story. They also told us how they dealt with challenges, what they would want new teachers to know, and why being a teacher is so important to their sense of self. All together, their words paint a picture of an inspired and inspiring group of up-and-coming leaders in their profession. We believe their reflections will prove helpful to principals, administrators, university professors in education departments, and particularly, new teachers who are speeding up to face the first day of school. This book is built on the words and recollections(回忆) of award-winning, first-year teachers. We have used direct quotations(引用语) from teachers (with their permission), both from the focus group discussions and from a set of essays they wrote. We felt their voices needed to be heard as directly as possible. Our job was to present their insights in a way that would be useful for readers. What follows is our effort to do so.
Thank you for your interest, and we welcome your response.
Sincerely,
Sharon A. Bobbitt, Ph.D.

【推荐1】Many people want to travel around the world and enjoy new cultures, especially the different festivals. There are festivals going on somewhere in the world every day of the year. These range from very large events which involve whole cities to local celebrations in tiny villages or neighborhoods of towns or cities. We have selected a few of the more unusual, colorful festivals from around the world. You can choose anyone you like best!
The Million Ringgit Charity Duck Race: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Thirteen years ago, Eric Schechter and his friends were brainstorming to find new ways of raising money for local charities when they came up with the idea of rubber duck races. The event, crazy as it may sound, involves racing "cool" rubber ducks down a local waterway and having members of the community "adopt" the ducks for a chance to win valuable donated prizes, possibly even $1 million bucks.
La Tomatina: Bunol, Spain
"The tomato battle is in honor of Saint Luis Beltran, the patron saint of Bunol. Residents and visitors take part in a tomato-throwing battle that decimates more than 88,000 pounds of tomatoes. This crazy event began with a serious aim as a symbolic protest against Franco. But the Tomatina is now celebrated as an amusing way to end the summer."
Mighty Mud Mania: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
"Children's dreams really do come true in the City of Scottsdale. Children aged 1 to 13, get to participate in a mud race to end all mud races. During the running of the Mighty Mud Obstacle(泥坑) course, several mud pits strategically placed, provide wet and really dirty obstacles as kids compete for the fastest time in each heat. There are also mud puddle pools for the tiny tots, and a mini mud course for those six and younger. In addition, Mighty Mudway features water and mud games. There are also water slides, sandcastle buildings and fun for all ages. Moms and dads, remember to send your kids out with old clothes and shoes. And have no fear, Rural Metro Fire Department is on hand to offer plenty of water for the muddy children."
Canberra Sled Dog Classic: Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
Dog sledding is one of the fastest growing sports on the east coast of Australia. As there's no snow (the trail is earth and sand and is smooth and wide with a few hills and turns), the sleds have wheels instead of runners, but the excitement is the same.
