This paper would argue that the ＂Dao＂ cannot produce ＂One,＂ and ＂One＂ cannot produce ＂Two.＂ So, we should realize that the main relation between any independent existence should be the force effected to each other. There are two production ways of the force： One is the external force stated in the study of the physical science; another is from the contradiction within a body, as the demonstration in this paper.展开更多

So many times, not only in professional life but in private life game theory can help people to make best decision. What make this article different with other game theory article is that it has written for arts science which they are not so much fluent in maths. The object of this article is to demonstrate the possibilities of game theory as an instrument for study of social science. The approach used to describe elementary games theoretic models as an integral part of social science with a collection of example to understand subject better. This paper addresses to theoreticians and practitioners of social science not particularly versed in game theory, rather than to those who are fluent in its mathematical language and intricacies.展开更多

However, some problems, including literary aphasia, objectified objectivism and de-contextualization, have revealed during our rethinking of Westernization, scientism and systematism, showing that we have been trapped by Western-centralism, scientism and post-colonialism. Faced with the demand from modem knowledge pattern of de-sinicization, de-contextualization and de-subjectification, we propose reconstruction strategies of re-sinicization and re-pragmatism in order to provide theoretical conception of rebuilding modem system for ancient literary theory study.展开更多

The private universities aim to explore the new mode of college English teaching which is suitable for the cultivation of applied talents. On the basis of analyzing the existing problems of college English teaching in private universities, this paper proposes suggestive measures to enhance the construction of teaching staff, ameliorate the teaching and research level, improve the teaching methods and optimize the teaching effect, understand the students and tailor their learning, help them change their learning ideas and strengthen self- learning consciousness, so as to further deepen the reform of college English teaching.展开更多

The author has talked about the errors and improper uses that are made by test attendants of SAMBET course. The analysis and exploration on these errors and improper uses illustrate that they occur owing to various implied reasons, e.g., the influence of Ll, ignorance of grammatical rules, carelessness, outside pressure, and attitude, aptitude, and confidence of individual learner, etc展开更多

In this perspective, the author wonders about the subjectivity of the students＇ apprenticeship and about the way they can change, according to the methodological variants, as well as the context. So, he intents to explore the C.P.M.P.S （Creative and Participative Method of Problem Solution） in the development of Portuguese written language competence, through the art subject. In this paper, we can see the increase of different variables from the perspective of students and teachers which validates in some manner of the teaching methodology.展开更多

Making full use of this method will bring great benefits for English teaching. Besides the unique advantages and the present situations of multimedia applied in English teaching, it is more important for us to find out its drawbacks in practical teaching process, such as the ineffective application of multimedia by teachers. Then, the related strategies mast be put forward improving the teaching facilities of multimedia. This paper mainly discusses the related strategies in order to create a better teaching environment and facilitate the training of teachers. After studying this paper, we will have a good knowledge of the multimedia teaching. Consequently, we can apply the multimedia into the traditional teaching. Multimedia resources are also very useful for teachers to meet the requirements in our modem society. Meanwhile, it will promote the teaching reform and improve the level of education in our country.展开更多
