城乡差距对于教育的影响
随着中国科学技术与经济实力的日积月累，中国的经济实力已经在全球取得了突破性的成绩。我们的社会主义价值观取得了极大的成就而正是因为我们国家有着以人为本的教育理念，推进素质发展。彰显出了教育对一个国家的重要性。
作为一个发展中的农业大国，知识的重要性不言而喻了，加强以及投资现代化教育成了现在的一大任务。据有关数据显示，我国的总人口为14亿，而所注册的农村人口就达到了8亿，约占总人口的57%，而农村与城市的人口之比更是达到了4：3。而现在，在一些农村，教育上的细小问题也在慢慢地暴露出来，这些问题不仅大大地限制了农村地区经济的发展，也将孩子们培养学习的兴趣，义务教育制度的实施增添了许多麻烦。而问题所在则是教育资源。教育资源，共分为两种，师资力量资源，以及教育器材资源。
1.师资资源：由于生活环境条件的艰辛，在2010-2013年间，乡村教师的流失量由427万降到了330万，短短的三年内,流失量就达到了142.5万，流失率高达30%。而这些原因并不是因为工资所造成的，据统计一名乡村教师的月薪可达到4511元，而城市教师的工资只有3500元左右。对此政府为鼓励乡村教师对其提供了许多的福利及政策，如一些城市直接聘请满30年教龄的乡村教师高级教师的荣誉称号。
2.教学设备：在大城市里，眼花缭乱的多媒体教学已经实现了多媒体的教学方式，电子白板几乎普遍出现在学生眼前，在城里孩子眼里已经变得索然无味的电子白板或许在乡村孩子眼里是一个缤纷五彩的新世界。
随着时间的推移，各种福利保障制度更加完善，我相信在不远的将来，农村孩子们也会体验到学习的乐趣。

Scholastic Art & Writing Awards
Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nation’s youth, and provided opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated. Each year, increasing numbers of teens participate in the program, and become a part of our community–-young artists and writers, filmmakers and photographers, poets, and sculptors, along with countless educators who support and encourage the creative process.
Students across America submitted 300,000 original works during our 2015 program year across 28 different categories of art and writing.
The Awards are presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to identify students with exceptional artistic and literary talent and present their remarkable work to the world through the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Students receive opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication, and scholarship.
Since its founding, the Awards have established an amazing track record for identifying the early promise of our nation’s most accomplished and prolific creative leaders. Alumni include artists Andy Warhol, Philip Pearlstein, Cy Twombly, Robert Indiana, Kay WalkingStick, and John Baldessari; writers Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Bernard Malamud, Myla Goldberg, and Joyce Carol Oates; photographer Richard Avedon (who won for poetry); actors Frances Farmer, Robert Redford, Alan Arkin, and John Lithgow; and filmmakers Stan Brakhage, Ken Burns, and Richard Linklater. Outside the arts, Awards alumni employ their creativity to become successful in any number of ways – leaders in fields including journalism, medicine, finance, government and public service, the law, science, design, and more.
Students’ submissions are blindly judged by leaders in the visual and literary arts. Many past award recipients have lent their expertise as jurors, including Michael Bierut, Phillip Pearlstein, Edward Sorel, Red Grooms and Gary Panter, and they have been joined by luminaries including Judy Blume, Billy Collins, Robert Frost, Paul Giamatti, Langston Hughes, Francine Prose, David Sedaris, Lesley Stahl, and Roz Chast. Jurors look for works that exemplify the Awards’ core values: originality, technical skill, and the emergence of personal voice or vision.
Today, we work with more than 100 affiliate partners across the country to bring the Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12, from public, private, or home schools, can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for their chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited and published. Students also submit work for sponsored awards including Duck Tape®, Golden Paints and Gedenk – and for special honors like the National Student Poets Program, a joint project between the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers.
Year after year the Scholastic Awards program grows with increased participation from students and increasing scholarships and recognition opportunities.
With 90 years of history behind us and a bright future ahead, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards has grown to be the nation’s longest-running, most prestigious recognition initiative for creative teens, and the largest source of scholarships for young artists and writers. Join us as a student, educator, affiliate, partner, or supporter and claim your place within our nation’s creative legacy.

Looking Deeper into the Factors Regulating Global Innovation with PCA and Rough Sets
Abstract – A country’s economic and industrial
progress is strongly governed by the level of its
innovation. However, the conditions that influence and
encourage stronger innovation trends are difficult to
determine, and this is due in part to the lack of a clear
consensus among diverse indicators of an economy’s
innovative capacity as well as to the complex relations
between such factors. This study independently
analyzes a few representative indicators of innovation
for various input variables considered to enable
innovation and ranks and selects them based on two
different analysis paradigms. One draws an overall
picture of relationships and interactions between
different variables and describes the position of
significant countries, and the other selects a set of
relevant features to extract rules typifying this
multifaceted interaction. A good consensus is observed
for these two analysis paradigms.

珍惜

端午的清晨，我的卧室门悄悄地开了，妈妈蹑手蹑脚地走进屋。我躺在床上，佯装酣睡，继续着熟睡时均匀的呼吸，眯着眼看着这一切。我的被子被掀起一角，手腕上痒痒的，妈妈在为我系五彩绳。我享受着这一年一次的感觉，在心中浅笑，默默珍惜。
一声轻轻的锁舌扣响后，妈妈的脚步声远了，我迫不及待地把胳膊伸出来，手腕上的五彩绳似彩色的涓涓细流，载着妈妈的祝福和爱，流淌进我的心田。清晨的阳光刚好从窗帘缝中挤进卧室，洒在五彩绳上，映得我的心五彩缤纷，暖意融融，思绪也在五彩间翻飞着。
每年端午节前夜，妈妈都会拿出早早准备好的五彩细线，把五根彩线放在手心，一捻，原本分散开来的五种颜色瞬间汇到了一起，似一道彩虹，却比彩虹更艳丽。妈妈的爱，就在那一捻中融进了那根五彩绳，绵长的情意，一切尽在不言的彩绳中流淌。
端午节，少不了的就是系五彩绳。简单的一股五彩绳，却捻进了妈妈无尽的爱意。
我戴着五彩绳，绵长的情意从妈妈那端，经过五彩绳，直抵我心头。我从五彩绳中汲取着幸福与好运，得到成长过程中最好的滋养——妈妈的爱。一根五彩绳，牵着的是妈妈对我无尽的爱意，连着的是母女两人彼此感怀的心。
嘀嗒，嘀嗒，雨滴打在窗扉上，这是初夏的第一场雨，淅淅沥沥，仍带着些春雨缠绵的意韵。我不禁把目光放在了手腕的那根五彩绳上，是该和它告别了么。咔嚓，妈妈为我剪下了手腕上的五彩绳，扔进了雨水中，希望能带走一切晦气。我靠在妈妈怀中，看着窗外水坑中漂着的五彩绳，只觉的手腕处依旧有着一根妈妈亲手捻的五彩绳，且永远都不会被剪断。
从思绪中抬起头，卧室中暖阳正足。我再次看向腕际的五彩绳，感受着妈妈浓浓的爱意，心底却愈发的珍惜。
我走出卧室，来到餐桌前，剥开一个粽子，咬下一口，黏黏的，糯糯的，一如妈妈对我的爱，情意绵绵。
彩绳股股，棕香正浓，我沐浴着妈妈的绵绵爱意，且行且珍惜。

雨天，依然有阳光
雨天，依然有阳光

当人们行进的步伐越来越快，当都市中充斥着越来越多的喧嚣与浮华时，朋友，你是否放慢过脚步，去感受其间阳光的温暖?
记得那是一个二月的午后，天阴沉沉的，我独自一人，顶着迎面吹来的刺骨寒风，走在市中心的马路旁。乌云压得很低，雨丝飘落，随着呼啸的北风打在脸上，更生出一分寒意。街上的人出奇得少，我把头往棉衣里缩了缩，加紧了脚步。
突然，在耳旁呼啸的风声中，我听到了一个熟悉的旋律，是《感恩的心》。顺着音乐的方向望去，各色雨伞聚集在音乐的源头处。在好奇心的驱使下，我朝那走去，随着歌声的渐渐嘹亮，一个身影在我的眼前逐渐清晰：以为断臂老人正用嘴衔着毛笔在地上写书法！我被眼前一幕惊呆了。
那位老人身上只穿一件薄汗衫，外面披着一件不知打了多少补丁的薄军袄，岁月在他的额头上刻下了一道道深深的痕迹，他弯曲着双腿，坐在冰凉的地上，整个上身伏在地面上，嘴里是一只破旧的毛笔，上面蘸满白色涂料，在地上灵活地转动，留下一行行隽秀的书法。那年过花甲的老人腰上的绳子记着那笨重的老式音箱，《感恩的心》的旋律便是从那里缓缓流淌出来的，飘荡在市中心的每一个角落，似缕缕阳光温暖着每个人的心灵。
老人的书法旁有两张海报，海报的边缘已有些巻皱，海报的上面也因雨滴稍稍有些潮湿。我走上前，读过后才知道老人在为同村患白血病的孩子募捐！看着地上隽秀的字迹和老人坚毅的表情，一股暖流冲遍我的全身，心中泛起层层感动的涟漪。这是一种何等的大爱！我随周围人一起把各色纸币投进募捐箱，听着老人那略带北方口音的“谢谢“，伴着韦唯那“只要人人都献出一点爱，世界将变成美好的人间”的饱含深情的歌声，我的眼角有些微微湿润。
写书法的断臂老人的那份大爱是那个飘着细雨的冬日里一束最温暖的阳光，它温暖了那个寒冷的下午，更温暖了我的整个人生。
雨天里，地上的书法也许不再，老人的身影也已不再，但是雨天，依然有阳光……
