The Tour de France began as a publicity stunt(惊人的表演) for the French sports newspaper, L’Auto.Hcnri Desgranges, who worked for L’Auto, came up with the idea for "the greatest bike race in the world, "and on July 1,1903, the first Tour de France began.Sixty cyclists began that first leg of the race which started in front of the Alarm Clock Cafe just outside of Paris.This first leg took them 467 kilometers to Lyon.The first Tour de France received an astonishing 2,000 francs.Maurice Garin, the most popular cyclist in France at that time, won the first Tour de France.It took him 94 hours and 33 minutes to ride all 2,428 kilometers of the race.This time was three hours faster than the second -place rider.Over the weeks during which the race was run, the idea of the Tour de France slowly caught the imagination of the people of France.The race has been run every year since that time, except during the years of World War I and World War Ⅱ.
The Tour de France has developed several special honors for which racers compete.Above all, the highest honor is the " yellow jersey".Mr.Desgranges introduced the yellow jersey in 1919 to show the leading racer each rider"s total time in order to find the racer with the lowest time.That racer wears the yellow jersey during the day"s race.Other honors include the "green jersey " which is given to the rider who sprints the best by riding the fastest over short distances, and the "polka dot jersey" for the best rider in the mountains along the route.

举一反三
People in California love to talk about "zero-emissions vehicles", but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something---usually coal, oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It"s just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. It is not. It"s as if the California Greens are. covering their eyes---"If I can"t see it, it"s not happening." Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it.But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat---at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won"t get you nearly as far---so electric cars bum more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes; or geothermal,or hydro, or solar, or wind,then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical,and economic reasons,we don"t use much of those energy sources.
In addition,electric cars" batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill.And finally, When cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it"s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.

There are many occasions when the way Westerners express themselves makes Chinese look more straightforward and honest. When I was a fresh international student,the director of our program once asked students in an e-mail what we thought about a young professor. I simply said ’ “She seems to know a lot but doesn* t know how to teach. ” And the director replied with “Thank you for being honest. ”
Only years later when I better understood the new culture,I realized why I had gone too far. If that question were asked now,the reply would have three paragraphs devoted to the qualities of the professor before the last line came out — ” There are some gaps i

Indeed, the reserved social norms and the deeply - rooted “face issue" make honest speaking risky in China ; Americans have their own ways of being polite. This results partly from political correctness. It also results from several generations of people who have been told they have done well even when they have failed. It may not be unfair to suggest that many Americans are oversensitive and obsessed with a perfect self image.
So,the next time you hear about indirect Chinese,it would be worth challenging the source and pointing out that the cultural comparisons are much more complex. But maybe you should do it in a roundabout way,to be polite.

B. Americans are much more straightforward than Chinese |
C. the new professor was very angry with the writer" s comments |
