Round the World

    Mr and Mrs Spencer both had very busy jobs and didn't have much time to spend with their young children. They wanted to change this, and because their hobby was boating, they decided to sail round the world together.

    It took six years to prepare everything for the trip. First, they bought a new boat. Then, both the husband and wife had to take advanced(先进的) sailing lessons and learn all about the sea and the weather. Mr Spencer also did several courses in repairing engines and Mrs Spencer spent an hour in a restaurant learning to cut up fish.

    In October, they had one year off from their jobs and sailed away from England with their two children. The next year, in August, their long journey ended in Australia.

    The boat was not big, but they took a teacher for the children with them. None of them found the trip boring because there were three computers, many CDs, a TV and a DVD player on the boat.

    The family loved being at the sea and seeing the stars in the sky. But, most of all, Mr and Mrs Spencer enjoyed spending time with their children while they were still young.

******在纪念改革开放30周年大会讲话中指出:“我国政治体制改革是社会主义政治制度自我完善和发展,……坚持从我国国情出发。我们需要借鉴人类政治文明有益成果但绝不照搬西方政治制度模式。”

材料一:“希腊是西方文明的摇篮,奥林匹克的故乡,欧洲对外贸易的发源地,为人类的文明进步作出了重要贡献,在人类发展历程中,以古代中国和古代希腊为代表的东西方文明曾经彼此交融,相应生辉。”

材料二:近代史上,西方各国逐步建立起了代议制民主制度。因国情差异,各国的政治制度呈现出多样化的特点。对英国人来讲,除了怀旧意义之外,王室还是日不落帝国的民族象征。从撒切尔到梅杰再到布莱尔,政府可以更迭,但最“正统”的王室却只有一个。在欧盟日益一体化的过程中,王室的存在,对于保持英国独立的“民族身份”将更加不可或缺。此外,王室也是政府最好的外交官之一。

美国宪法是人类法制文明史上的重要里程碑。它的制定将从欧洲文艺复兴时代以来有关人类对理想性政治的思考变成了现实的政治原则,使这些伟大的思想在政治实践中获得发扬光大。

材料三:19世纪晚期到20世纪是中国将民主政治从理想、理论逐步变成现实并不断完善的历史时期。
