These days this city of 450,000, Scotland's ancient capital, has something to celebrate. Just 15 years ago, the town was worn-out, its industrial base in collapse. But Edinburgh has shaken itself back to life. With a resurrected parliament and a thriving high-tech corridor, Edinburgh sees itself as the city of the new millennium, ready to compete with any in the world.

近来拥有450，000人口的这座城市，苏格兰古老的首都，有些事情是值得庆祝的。15年以前，因为工业基础的崩溃，市镇处于颓败时期。但是爱丁堡让自己从最初的动摇恢复了生命力。复活的议会和高科技走廊，使爱丁堡本身进入了太平盛世，足以与世界上的任何一个城市相抗衡。

Chocolate Therapy[巧克力疗法]App中国英语学习网

Your choice of chocolate can reveal a lot about your personality, psychologists say.

According to New Zealand psychotherapist Murray Langham, the choice of a chocolate's shape and filling reveals a lot about a person's personality traits and mood.

Milk chocolate lovers tend to be innocent people who like to live in the past. Fans of dark chocolate are materialistic problem solvers who are excited by the future. White chocolate aficionados have an innate sense of fairness and believe they have the power of the universe at their command.

Langham says he got this idea after noticing that many of his patients enjoyed a close relationship with chocolate.

The choice of filling and shape also reveals much about one's personality and state of mind. For instance, lovers of oval-shaped chocolates are social and sensual. Those who prefer a coffee filling are open-minded, but also impatient, anxious and immature.

Bonny Bonny：别了家乡Cara DillonApp中国英语学习网

　　　卡拉-迪仑（Cara Dillon）来自爱尔兰，来自那个国徽里有竖琴的国度。这是一个兢兢业业投身于纯粹音乐的女歌手，一个婉转低回地哼唱着忧伤与苍凉的女孩，一个随心所欲轰动欧洲的天才。《邦尼，邦尼》是Cara一首反战题材的歌曲，选自专辑《甜蜜的自由》（Sweet Liberty）。虽然同样充斥着爱尔兰民族音乐的音符、同样是对家乡的眷恋，与《克雷吉山》（CraigieHill）的隽永悠扬不一样的是，歌中冷淡清透的嗓音浸彻心肺，难掩对即将来到的征战的无奈与忧心。

歌词：

Bonny Bonny
Cara Dillon

Bonny, Bonny was my seat in the red rosy yard
And Bonny was my ship in the town of Ballynagard
Shade and shelter was for me till I began to fail
You all may guess now my distress lies near the Nightingale

Grief and woe that I must go to fight for England's King
I neither know his friend or foe, and war's a cruel thing
The nightingale is near at hand, my time at home is brief
And Carey's streams and mountain land I part with bitter grief

No more I'll walk the golden hills with Nancy by my side
Or dream along the sun bright rills, or view my land with pride
We sail away at dawn of day, the sails are ready set
When old Benmore I see no more, I'll sigh with deep regret

Now all must change and I must range across the ocean wide
Our ship she may in Biscay's Bay lie low beneath the tide
If I should fall by cannon ball, or sink beneath the sea
Good people all, a tear let fall and mourn for mine and me

If God should spare me my greying hair and bring me back again
I'd love far more my Antrim shore, its dark blue hills and rain
Around the fires, my heart's desires, heaven grant till life shall fail
And keep me far from the cruel war and from the Nightingale
