谈邓小平"一国两制"思想对香港政制发展的意义

邓小平“一国两制”思想对香港政制发展具有重大现实意义。“一国”是“两制”的前提,中央对香港政制发展有主导权和决定权;以爱国者为主体的港人治港是“一国两制”的必然要求,也是保证香港政制良性发展的必要条件;“一国两制”是促进香港民主政治包括政制发展的根本前提;基本法是实施“一国两制”的法律保证,也是香港政制发展的基础和保证。     

Making the transition to higher education in Hong Kong: a tale of two cohorts

The academic year 2012/13 marked a major milestone in the history of Hong Kong higher education as it witnessed the admission of two markedly different cohorts of Cantonese-speaking freshmen to the city’s English-medium universities: those embarking for the last time upon the traditional 3-year programme modelled on the British system of initial disciplinary specialisation and those commencing the new 4-year programme featuring an American-influenced first year of general education. This article presents the findings of a study which sought to compare the perceptions and experiences of the two cohorts on the challenging process of adjusting to the demands of university study. It was hypothesised that students in the 3-year cohort (3YC) would experience fewer difficulties adjusting to university learning and teaching than the 4-year cohort (4YC) as it was assumed that their A-level programme (years 12–13) placed greater emphasis on university-related skills, practices and habits of mind than the new senior-secondary curriculum (years 10–12). This hypothesis was tested by means of a survey completed by 1480 students at Hong Kong Polytechnic University towards the end of the academic year. The results largely support this hypothesis, although the evidence suggests that both cohorts had adjusted moderately well to university study by the end of the year. The results indicate that the principal difference between the two cohorts and the key to the 3YC’s smoother transition was their greater confidence and competence in English, which presumably stemmed from their extra year at school and the greater depth of the traditional sixth-form curriculum.     

School–Family–Community Partnership in Hong Kong – Perspectives and Challenges

This paper reviews the school–family partnership in Hong Kong in the past decade. The typology of Epsteins six types of partnership is adopted as the analytical framework. The results show that there has been an increase in shared experience in school education among various stakeholders. Schools have become more convinced that they have a role to play in various types of partnership. Home–school contacts have become more informal and two-way. Teachers have been changing their views of how capable are parents in supporting the school. However, the increase in communication does not seem to focus on childrens learning. The relationship of the school-sponsoring bodies and the Government was hampered in the exercise of widening the governance structure. Hong Kong parents mainly serve as supporters of their children at home in the past. They have now also become customers, and to some extent learners, volunteers and managers in school education.

例谈《红楼梦》的"……一般"

曹雪芹在对人、事进行描述时很喜欢使用比喻句。在使用比喻句时，他主要用“……一般”和“……似的”两种格式。“……一般”的比喻句非常贴切、别致、生动、形象，体现了曹雪芹作为伟大的学家的一个侧面。     

生死的述说——论萧红作品的话语方式

萧红对生命的执着拷问是透过独特的话语方式来实现的,她的作品既不遵循故事发展的规律,也没有明显的因果关系,只是把所有的生存状况置于一个无形的“场”中,在一个“空间”内表达自己的情绪与感悟。“场”中的每一个人都以自己的视角,审视着周围的一切,以不同的节奏述说着相同的故事。     

汝颍名士论争的深层蕴含

东汉末年发生了汝南、颍川名士间的一系列论争，该地区独有的地域优势、繁盛的文化格局、显赫的世家名族是产生学术思想交锋的根源。名士孔融介入汝颍论争，使我们更清楚地看到汉末士人利益共同体的结成以及士人们为争名求胜而相互褒贬的流弊。孔融盛赞汝南名士而贬低颍川名士另有鲜为人知的原因：借抑制曹操身边的颍川谋士发泄他对曹操政权的不满。

李鸿章是中国近代史上的一个重要的且是至今仍有争议的人物。本文针对史学界对他是卖国还是误国或是爱国的认识分歧,提出个人见解,认为李鸿章在晚清政坛活动的近40年中,他的思想行为与当时社会及清王朝向下行线发展相步趋,经历了一个对外来侵略者从妥协退让以致误国到通敌卖国的过程,并对这一过程的发展轨迹进行了分析论述。     

再论洪秀全意识结构的内在矛盾

拜上帝教来源于基督教。洪秀全基于基督教教义，创造了天父天兄，并运用它来广泛地宣传发动群众。另一方面又在事实上违背了基督教的基本原则，试图确立洪秀全万岁独尊的地位与威严。因而，神力与人力、神权与皇权、理想与现实，构成了其意识结构的深刻矛盾。
