a tale of two cities occupies a central place in the canon of charles dickens's works. this novel of the french revolution was originally serialized in the author's own periodical all the year round. weekly publication of chapters 1-3 of book 1 began on april 30, 1859. in an innovative move, dickens simultaneously released installments of the novel on a monthly basis, beginning with all of book 1 in june and concluding with the last eight chapters of book 3 in december. dickens took advantage of the novel's serial publication to experiment with characterization, plot, and theme. he described the work in a letter to his friend john forster, cited in rudi glancy's a tale of two cities: dickens's revolutionary novel, as "a picturesque story rising in every chapter, with characters true to nature, but whom the story should express more than they should express themselves by dialogue." the novel that emerged from his experimentation is now regarded as one of dickens's most popular and most innovative works.
dickens's work was very popular with the reading public when it was first published. one review in the magazine athenaeum stated that a tale of two cities had attracted the praise of a hundred thousand readers. on the other hand, a whole set of critics, most notably sir james fitzjames stephen writing in saturday review, criticized the novel precisely for its popularity. "most of the critics writing in the intellectual and literary journals of the day considered popular success a good reason to condemn a work," explains glancy. "if the public liked it, they certainly could not be seen to approve of it at all." modern critical opinion, however, has given the novel an important place among dickens's most mature works of fiction.

how to do research
——reading after a science paper
these days i am busy preparing my dissertation which is about web usage mining . i read some english papers and learnt much from them . and now i want to say something about a paper titled “web usage mining:discovery and applications of usage patterns from web data”.
this is the first english paper i read about dissertation and gave me great help .
this paper is a review about web usage mining. it introduced web usage mining in detail . although it is a little old for it was published in its contents are very useful today . it is organized according to the sequence of web usage mining and the six main parts are introduction which tells me what is web usage mining the sources and abstraction of web data the three steps of web usage mining taxonomy and project survey websift overview privacy issues . the third and fourth parts are most important . it had a list of existing project about web usage mining which i saw many times in other papers but this paper is the one creating this list . besides it has been referred for more then twenty times . as we all know that the higher the referred number is the more important the paper is so i consider this paper to be an important and successful one in this region.
in my opinion the success of this paper dues to three reasons . the first reason is the profound computer knowledge owned by the authors . web usage mining relates to many subjects such as artificial intelligence ontology semantic analysis but the most basic knowledge is computer science . the four authors are all professors of department of computer science and engineering in university of minnesota . for myself i am not major in computer science and i am not very good at computers so i feel a little difficult to understand technologies used in this region.
second they had read a large number of papers before they wrote this paper . there are fifty nine references listed after main contents . “stand on the shoulders of giants” this sentence tell us a truth : one can never successful all by oneself . and what’s more learn from others can save a lot of time and energy especially for us new learner . how to learn from others is a skill all of us should master but learning doesn’t mean copy or plagiary . other people’s knowledge and production is just our foundation upon this foundation we must have our own thoughts and creation. there are many remarks in this paper where referred other’s production.
third the authors had the experience of developing a web usage mining project . they don’t just engage in idle theorizing so their comprehension on this issue is greatly profound. they know what we may meet in a real project development and they know how to resolve them . after reading this paper i also read some other papers written in chinese . some of them are not based on real project and can not give useful resolution . websift is the name of system they developed which can be used to data mining and analysis .
i wrote this article not only because it gave me much help in preparing my dissertation but also because it tells me how to study and how to do research . honesty and preciseness are two essential making a researcher must have . hard-working is the necessary condition leading to success . this is just the beginning of my dissertation i should learn from these four authors both their knowledge and their attitude to study.
人一生之中有一种最珍贵、最温暖的情感那就是友情。
上到初中,因为父母的安排我来到了一个陌生的环境里。我因从小不善与人交往,所以一直没能融入到这个班级中。那时的我感到很孤独,我每天能做的就是发呆,整个人就像失了魂一样。上课时注意力也集中不起来,慢慢的,我的成绩开始下滑。老师和父母开始责备我,那时我感觉世界都抛弃了我。可有一个人改变了我。
有一次,我漫不经心的走着,不知谁推了我一下,我失去了重心向前倒去和地面来了个亲密接触。看到我出丑同学都在嘲笑我,那时我恨不得找个缝钻进去,正当我准备站起逃走时,一双洁白的手伸在了我的我面前,我抬头一看,一个天使般美丽的女孩站在我的面前,原来是班长,她把我拉了起来,转身制止了幸灾乐祸的同学。然后贴心的安慰我:“你不要伤心了,这没什么大不了的,不就是摔了一跤吗,谁没跌倒过呀,以后谁再欺负你,你就找我我帮你教训他。”看着她可爱的表情我笑了,这是我在学校第一次笑。
今天,阳光明媚。我觉的上次班长帮了我,我应该谢谢她,找她一起吃饭吧!我兴致勃勃的走进教室,刚要开口却看到了一群人围着班长有有说有笑,我的心情立马失落了起来,心里告诉自己:“别天真了,人家可是班长,你自己什么的不是,你们注定不是一个世界的人,你要认清自己的位置。”我悄悄的离开了,长廊里留下了我失落的身影,正当我准备离开的时候,我被一个叫声喊住了,我回头一看是班长,她跑上前来,说要请我吃饭,我难以置信的点点头。到食堂里,班长跟我说了很多有趣的事,好几次笑的我都差点把饭吐出来。我们一直说一直说,说了很长时间,我多么希望时间停在那里,那是我最开心的时刻。
从那以后,班长每天都会帮我补习功课,跟我打打闹闹,我上课也开始认真听讲,成绩也越来越来好。我也渐渐的融入到了这个班级中,人也越来越开朗、快乐,我非常喜欢现在的生活。
因为友情,我不再害怕;因为友情,我不再孤单;因为友情,我有了前进的动力。世界上最温暖人心的就是友情。

友情,可以如青山一般伟大,如冰雪一般圣洁,如夏阳一般温暖,如江海一般宽广。我的身边不缺少与我共同欢笑的朋友,曾经以为分享趣事、美食和共同出游便是友情的全部,在一件事情之后,我才意识到,友谊不只是锦上添花,更是雪中送炭。
一次考试,我因为考场发挥失误而考砸了。怀着沉重的心情,我向平时和我玩得很好的几个同学倾诉了我的烦恼。可是,她们却轻描淡写甚至略带讥笑地说:“学霸考砸了,也比我们考好了都强,在这装什么呀?”
到了放学回家的时间,我觉得学校门口的那条路好象延长了许多,以前只用不到五分钟就能走完,而这次却用了十多分钟,我还是一直在学校附近徘徊。
“学霸,你怎么愁眉苦脸的?不早了,还不回家吗?”一个声音在耳边响起,是淑颖,一个经常被我忽视的朋友。可能因为她家境不太好的关系,我邀请她逛街购物或者一起去音乐节的时候她很少参加,我们平时的交流也不多。
仍沉浸在悲伤之中的我,没有理睬她。但她没有因为我的冷漠而离开:“喂,出了什么事情吗?不要都压在心里,会很难受的。”
“我——呜呜——我这次考砸了,才排班级第十二。”我不由自主地哭了出来,泪珠从脸颊滑落。
“这又不是中考,我们还有很多的机会考试。不用因为一次失败,就伤心成这样啊。再说,失败乃成功之母!这次失败了,我们可以把它当做成功的垫脚石,查缺补漏,下次别再这样就行了。”淑颖热切地说。
从她的话中,我的到了不少安慰。的确,一次小小的考试失利不该让我如此消沉。而我更感受到,在我失意之时这份友谊的可贵。“笑,全世界与你一同笑;哭,你自己一个人哭。”有一句英文谚语如是说。而此刻,在我伤心落泪的时候,身边有朋友相伴,是何等的可贵。
从那次以后,我明白了友情的真正含义,它不仅是快乐时的一同欢笑,也应该是悲伤时的彼此抚慰。友情是碧蓝天空中一朵纯洁的白云,让人心情愉快,也是寒冬里的一缕阳光,让你即使在人生中最冷的季节,也能感到温暖如春。友谊是如此深沉又美好,足以让我们用一生一世来感悟。
友情是飘飘洒洒是春雨,滋润干涸的心田;友情是义无反顾的扶持,使孤寂的心不再寂寞;友情是冬日的太阳,扫去心灵深处的寒冷;友情更是朋友无微不至的关怀,是你成长路上的加油站。
今年的某个周末,阳光明媚,暖阳高挂,我和宝玉去水北溪玩。那天,我们放下所有学习的负担,尽情地玩,像疯子一样。在回家的路上,我们有说有笑,有歌有舞,仿佛天地之间就属于我们。可高兴的时间总是一闪而过,意外还是发生了。突然一条全身棕黄色,身体有着一条条斑纹的蛇向我们游来。我们俩人被吓得花容失色,颤抖不已。我惊叫一声后,不知所措,竟然一动也不能动。宝玉身手敏捷,跳到了旁边的石块上,躲过蛇灾,但是也不比我好。她衣冠不整,像一个落荒而逃的士兵,两脚战栗,站在那里,结结巴巴地安慰我:“别。别。别怕!我。我。我会。救你的。。”
听到她的安慰后,吓呆的我“哇”的一声,哭了出来。也许是我的哭声,使她的勇气倍增。只见她,从旁边的捡起一根竹竿,眉头皱紧,嘴唇紧闭,连吃奶的气力都聚集到那竹竿上,慢慢地把我身旁的蛇挑到路边的草丛中;紧接着如大猩猩般跳到我身旁,拉起我冰冷的手,发疯地跑;一边跑一边安慰我。
那天,虽然险遭不幸,但是我感受到友情的温暖,友情的珍贵!它让我知道:友情驱散我心中的阴霾;照亮我前进的方向;使我成长的路上不再孤单!感谢朋友!感谢上天!给我一份人间真情!
友谊,是人类最纯洁的感情,是天空中两颗星的邂逅,即使匆匆擦身而过,也会闪出明亮的光华;友谊,是心海中两叶小舟的偶遇,虽不会永远相伴,却能彼此留下难忘的印象。友谊不是送礼就能得来的,像这样大于大脚地送礼物,彷佛不是在倾吐友谊,而是在攀比礼物。真正的友谊是互相帮助,互相关心,人生如戏,所谓真心付出,换来的是一份欣喜的收获,一份付出,换来一份真诚的回报!友谊万岁!
岁月长,人世变迁,许多的灿烂斑驳。你走,我来,人物皆非。一种、习惯而已。然而,有那么多的习惯,那么多的习惯让我不知所措,到底如何是好?那么多的习惯,我究竟该习惯哪一种习惯呢?有些茫然、思绪缱绻…可不可以要求老天:不要让我去习惯任何一种习惯,那样,就或者不会失去依赖自己双脚行走的自由。
不会在失去一种习惯时责怪自己太容易习惯成自然。比如,离别…比如,重逢…更多的时候,大家是相聚的,就习惯去忘了还有离别这天;有时候,大家时分开的,就又忘了还有重逢这回事…人,是贪婪的…总是想要得到最多最好最美的东西,偏偏时间也是贪婪的强盗,把那些最多最好最美的东西都留给了自己,所以:生活的烦恼才会像眼角的鱼尾纹,越想弹走却越来越多…不过,一切、时间都会证明是一种习惯。习惯生活在时间中的堆垒的磨难…我想,我也会的。习惯生活的磨难。习惯成自然…
