Find the Truth---Déja Dead

When the first time I heard the name Déjà Dead, I really wanted to know what was the French world meaning. After few days reading, I guessed that my poor French language knowledge could not help me to find the answer. But this book really intrigued me into reading it. At the first time, I didn’t find what a good book it was. The writer, Kathy Reichs is a forensic anthropologist. She not only performances perfect in her job, but also wrote an excellent book for people.

The story had happened in Montreal 15 years ago in downtown area. When the first died body was founded, the main characteristic Temperance Brennan believed that it was not a simple case. Few weeks later, police officers found another four bodies. Dr. Brennan realized that these were not isolated deaths and if she wanted police officers to find this brutal murderer. With the final truth was discovered day by day, Tempe also got deep in dangerous. Because the background of this story was located in Montreal, every time when I read it at midnight, I really scared. The feeling was like the murderer could suddenly occur in my home. Actually it was a foolish idea but the writer showed us how well she could write a novel. When I read the book, I cannot believe it was written by an unprofessional writer, a forensic anthropologist.

From my eyes, it is really a good mystery book. The used her professional knowledge introduced us how a forensic anthropologist works and explained some details how her character goes about determining the age, sex and cause of death when she had only bones to work with, that really makes me feel great

Gender or Cross-Culture

Many people will have this kind of feeling that sometimes they are unable to talk to their life partners. Both genders are hard to understand each others, but whether different countries people can misunderstand the others when they have a talk?

I think that the key to effective cross-cultural communication is knowledge. First, it is essential that people understand the potential problems of cross-cultural communication, and making a conscious effort to overcome these problems. Second, it is important to assume that one’s efforts will not always be successful, and adjust one’s behavior appropriately. For example, one should always assume that there is a significant possibility that cultural differences are causing communication problems, and be willing to be patient and forgiving, rather than hostile and aggressive, if problems develop. One should respond slowly and carefully in cross-cultural exchanges, not jumping to the conclusion that you know what is being thought and said.

My Country's Population Situation

Although China has had its one child police for quite a long time, it still faces much pressure in the field of population. The one child police have benefited the whole nations these years, and more couples prefer to have their babies older than before. However, Chinese people will up to more than 1.3 billion in the year 2010 and 1.4 billion in 2020. The largest population amount will happen in 2033, at that time, China will have 1.5 billion people.

High population density leads to many problems in China. The first one is energy short supply. These years in the south part of China, electricity short supply infect most cities like Shanghai. High temperature in summer time requires more air conditionings, therefore, sometimes in big cities of China, electricity will be cut off for an hour or more. People can not stand in such a hot weather.

Another problem is pollution, which includes air pollution, light pollution. In Beijing, there are more than 16 million people in urban area. Government suggests people to use public transportation, however, Beijing still had 3 million automobiles in 2007 and this number is still increasing. Such lots of cars produce millions tons of gas, and the consequence of this is people can hardly see blue sky in downtown area. In addition, more and more skyscrapers are built in big cities and the glasses have to be used as the glass wall. These glasses can reflect sunlight; it is a real damage for people’s eyes.

China’s population problem confuses the whole nation many years. But Chinese people can know how to survival and can find solutions for such a problem
