Nine indexes have been selected for calculation based on Fragstats 3.3 and Excel 2007, including largest patch index, mean patch size, edge density, shape index, Simpson's diversity index, Simpson's evenness index, fragmentation index, dominance index and separation index. The results show that landscape patch shape of natural meadow is simple, fragmentation index and landscape diversity are high and landscape indexes are highly correlated.展开更多

This paper also attempts to explore the circumstances under which the original thematic progression pattern can be retained and the substitute should be reconstructed.展开更多

Through qualitative analysis of the short story Necklace of Maupassant, it is found that narrative texts always use the linear theme pattern and the constant theme pattern, and sometimes the derived theme pattern and other patterns are also used to facilitate the text coherence and the plot development. Thematic progression in various fields has been studied extensively, but the analysis aims to short story is less than text coherence and other aspects. And there are some implications to teaching, writing, reading, and translation.展开更多

Through the practice and observation of children in the immersion program, we find that English Immersion has the following impacts on children: 1) The English language learning is immersed into the process of thematic activities, Children in the Immersion learn English naturally, joyfully and systematically. They tend to cooperate well. 2) The language immersion is an integrated model in which children feel no cultural barriers. 3) English learning enhances the learning of Pingying, and vice versa. 4) There is little gap between genders. 5) Social and economic difference does not influence their learning. 6) English rhyming, chanting and songs arouse great interest in them. 7) Drama makes children very confident in their performance. They learn to think and settle problems through the performance. English immersion gives children cognitive development and enforces the language they are learning.展开更多
