　　It is December thirty-first, 2008, the time when the old year dies and the New Year is born．Many Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends．Many of these events are noisy．People shout and sing．They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight．They kiss their husbands or wives or the person they are with．They dance to music．Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home．They drink Champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year．

　　Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year's Eve celebrations．This can lead to tragic results if a person drinks too much and then drives a car．The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accidents during the holiday．

　　In recent years , the danger of accidents has resulted in a new tradition called the“designated driver”．One person among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Year's Eve celebrations．Then this designated driver can safely drive the other people home．Many American cities also offer free taxi service on New Year's Eve to take people home safely．

　　Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol．More than 220 American cities hold these First Night celebrations．Artists in Boston Massachusetts started the tradition of First Night celebrations in 1976．They wanted to observe the coming of a New Year．But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties．So they organized music concerts, art exhibitions and other events to observe the holiday．

　　In February, headlines confirmed“Low-Fat Diet Does Not Cut Health Risks．”Data from the Women's Health Initiative(WHI)study concluded that a low-fat diet did not reduce the risk of breast cancer．Some women said,“Why bother?There's nothing I can do．”

　　That concerns me．In 30 years of research, I've seen what a difference lifestyle changes can make．The problem with the WHI study was that most of the women didn't change their diets very much．But those who achieved the greatest reduction in fat intake did have a decreased risk．

　　Now comes another study and more confusion．In July, findings from the Women's Healthy Eating and Living(WHEL)study were released．Some 1, 500 women previously treated for early-stage breast cancer, were asked to cut fat from 15％ to 20％ of their calories and to eat more fruit and vegetables．

　　But they reported eating more fruit at the beginning of the study than at the end．And on average their fat intake rose, from 28.5％ of calories to 28.9％．However, women who consumed less than 23.8％ of calories from fat did have a lower risk of breast cancer than those who got more than 33.4％．

　　Other studies have also found that diet can have a great effect on cancer risk．In Yale Health(YH)study, breast cancer survivors who lowered their fat intake to 20％(about 33 grams a day)cut their hidden risk by 24％ after five years, compared with those who ate 51 grams of fat a day．An NIH-AARP study concluded,“Dietary fat intake was directly associated with the risk of above-50-aged breast cancer．”The researchers found a direct link between a high fat intake among above-50-aged women and breast cancer．In the Harvard Nurses' Health(HNH)study, mostly under-50-aged women who ate more of animal fat had a higher risk of breast cancer．

　　Bottom line：when you stick to a low-fat, healthy diet, you will not only feel better; you really can lower your risk of cancer．

　　Ji Xianlin, honoured by many as the“master of Chinese culture”had died of heart attack when he was 97．Ji repeatedly asked the media to stop calling him a“maestro in traditional Chinese culture”, but despite the protests, the“master”title stuck．“Ji's leaving is the ending of an era,”says Zhao Rengui, professor of Beijing Normal University．“There are fewer and fewer masters accomplished like him nowadays．”

　　Son to an impoverished rural family in Linqing, Shandong province, Ji was admitted to Tsinghua University in 1930 and majored in Western literature．Five years later he went to Gottingen University in Germany as an exchange student, majoring in Sanskrit and lesser-known ancient languages like Pali．He would spend more than 10 years in Germany and received his PhD in 1941．

　　In Germany, Ji met Irmgard, his friend's landlord's daughter, who helped him type his dissertation, because he could not afford a typewriter．The two soon fell in love but Ji was already married in China and made the hard decision to give up the relationship and returned to China in 1946．In 1946 he became a professor at Peking University and soon founded the department of Eastern languages in the university and he worked for 63 years．

　　Ji published 11 academic books and over 200 papers in more than 10 academic fields, including Chinese cultural research, comparative literature, and Sanskrit．Ji maintained that“Cultural exchange is the main drive for humankind's progress．Only by learning from each other's strong points to make up for shortcomings can people constantly progress, the ultimate target of which is to achieve a kind of Great Harmony．”“One thing about Ji that deserves our admiration is that he never fears to tell the truth．He speaks out what he thinks,”says Zhao．

　　In 1998, Ji published Memoirs from the Cowshed(Niupeng Zayi), a resonating book recording his experience in the“cultural revolution”(1966～1976)and reflection on the turmoil．“I have a strong faith that if the process of such a disaster is truthfully recorded, it will be a mirror for our great nationality”, he once said．“To look at ourselves in the mirror often will be very beneficial．”

　　Ji won affection from general public also for his unassuming personality and humility．

　　It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education．Nevertheless(然而), it has been said that today children stop their education to go to school．The difference between schooling and education is important．

　　Education is much wider than schooling．Education can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a bus．It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and all the informal learning．The educator can be a grandparent, a child or a famous scientist．

　　Though schooling has a certain predictability(可预测性), education quite often produces surprises．Chatting with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other cultures．People are engaged in education when they are very young．Education is a lifelong process(过程), which starts long before the start of school, and should be a major part of one's whole life．

　　Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized(正规的)process, and it changes little from one to the next．Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take assigned(分配的)seats, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on．
