The languages are not only tools in understanding,communication and thinking, but also one element of the cultures. Thinking is a kind of abstract skill, and the language is the vehicle of thinking, through which people can understand the human beings' thinking methods and cultural characters. The languages are decided by the culture. Reading comprehension is the readers' own behavior, during which the schema plays a key role and readers must combine the new information with their former cultural knowledge, rebuilding the new information so as to understand the deep meanings of the articles.展开更多

After employing a supplementary influence field and the boundary conditions in the free surface of a senti-space, the authors obtain the solutions of Green's function for Lamb's dynamic problem. Besides, the vertical displacement uzz and the radial displacement urz can match Lamb's previous results, and the solutions of the linear expansion source u^r and the linear torsional source uee are also given in the paper. The authors reveal that Green's function of Stokes' solution in the semi-space is a comprehensive form of solution expressing the dynamic Lamb's problem for various situations. It may benefit the investigation of deepening and development of Lamb's problems and solution for pertinent dynamic problems conveniently.展开更多

It is meaningful to master its manifestation and to study the application of creative thinking in solving specific problems. In this paper, based on the premise of art design, the connotation and manifestation of creative thinking were studied and discussed, and the application of creative thinking was expounded. This paper hopes to provide some theoretical help for the practical application of creative thinking in the future development of art design.展开更多

Training of music teachers is particularly important in the field of music theory,as the comprehensive musician training is specific for Russian music education, where besides playing a musicinstrument he must possess knowledge from the music theory field, make sense of music pieces, and understandand analyze them. The conservatism in teaching traditions preservation began interfering with changing priorities ofeducation. As a result, stagnation in the field of musical pedagogy was outlined in the early XXI century. This hasaffected teaching music and theoretical subjects, which became heavy, boring, and unpopular due to conservatismin teaching methods and focus on students' motivation. As professional regards, there has been an imbalance in theability to play the instrument and the inability to navigate in the music literature.
