My first job at KCRW was Ruth Seymour’s assistant、Soon after,I became Assistant General Manager and worked closely with her for 16 years、Therefore,I have had the opportunity to observe her and the enormous impact she had on KCRW and the other radio stations.Ruthdidnothingconventionallyandnothingshecreatedwasareactiontoanything.ShecreatedKCRWnottogainthemostlistenersortowinanyawardsbuttobeanintellectualforceforarts,cultureandsmartideas.Shewantedtostarttheconversation,notjustcontributetoit.Ruthhadthehighestartisticstandards,whichiswhyKCRWairedradiodramaslikethe10-hourBabbittand30-hourUlysses.ShecreatedJewishShortStoriesFromEasternEuropeandBeyondintwoaudiocollectionsthatfeaturedfamousactorsreadingtheworkofJewishauthorslikeSholemAleichem,PhilipRothandIsaacBashevisSinger.KCRWsoldmoreofthosecollectionsthananythingelseinourhistory.Ruth went to a newsstand every day and read articles from New York Times word for word,on the air at noon because ordinary people couldn’t easily get that paper then、She discovered people who matched her intellect at dinners or parties and gave them on-air shows on journalism,literature,film,art,theater,travel,dance or music.She said it best,"I wanted to do the program as an act of love and

is growing evidence to suggest that it is happening、In Mexico,according to a survey,only 24%of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access to home computers for schoolwork compared with 87%in rich ones、As reported in another study,some students in northern England have been forced to travel around on the Greater Manchester train network or camp out around McDonald’s to access free WiFi because they cannot do their schoolwork at home."VR technologies will be widely used in education、The only questions are:for what purpose and at what speed?"says Beeban Kidron,a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission、"The trouble is that they are too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a means to enrich

IfyouspendmorethanacoupleofdaysinthecountryofGeorgia,youareverylikelytobeinvitedtoaGeorgianfeastevenbycompletestrangers.Themulti-hour,multi-coursefeastisoneofthemostimportanteventsinGeorgianculture.A popular Georgian story shows the importance of the feast in Georgian culture、When God created the world,He held a meeting to give the different regions of the world to different cultures、But the Georgians arrived late at the meeting、After they apologized and explained that they’d been holding a feast with a stranger the night before and slept later than they’d meant to,God was so touched and impressed by their honesty that He gave the Georgians the best land of all:the part of earth He was saving for himself.In order to survive the feasts without offending(冒犯)the hosts,it’s important for you to know a few things about it in advance.A Georgian feast will likely have a seemingly unlimited number of dishes、So avoid fully cleaning your plate unless you want more servings、Don’t fill up on khachapuri-Georgian cheese bread、There are numerous regional varieties of cheese bread,but khachapuri is the most delicious of all、The cheese bread is usually a heavy lunch on its own,but at feasts it’s often considered a side dish or an appetent、Don’t make the mistake of having more than a few bites—only to discover that the main meal is still coming.When you drink,follow the lead of the toastmaster,who presents a scries of toasts throughout the evening、Traditionally,drinkers would dry their glass(or,if keeping with tradition,drain their deer’s horn)with every toast、This isn’t always done now、Just remember the important rule:say"cheers"after every toast.Consider bringing a small gift,such as sweets or flowers,as a gesture of thanks、Avoid bringing more fond,however,which might imply that you don’t think there will be enough on offer.（1）Whatcanbemostprobablyinferredfromthestory?A、Georgiaisshortofnaturalresources
