8 марта: как появился день борьбы за женские права.
Больше ста лет назад женщины вышли на массовую демонстрацию, требуя равных прав с мужчинами. 8 марта — Международный женский день. Как же появился этот праздник и какие еще «женские» праздники принято отмечать. История международного женского дня началась в 1908 году, когда работающие женщины Нью-Йорка вышли на «прогулку по Бродвею» — так в некоторых газетах назвали шествие женщин в знак протеста против тяжелых условий труда. Женский марш организовала Мод Мэлоун — американская суфражистка и основательница Союза прогрессивных женщин. В «прогулке» принимали участие женщины из разных слоев общества и многие мужчины, согласные с идеями суфражисток. 16 февраля они вышли на улицы, требуя равных прав, повышения оплаты труда и права голоса для женщин, и несмотря на незаконность акции, на марше никто не был задержан.
Спустя год, в 1909 году, в США учредили праздник, вдохновленный этим маршем, — Национальный женский день, он отмечался в последнее воскресенье февраля.
Борьба за женские права продолжалась по всему миру, в 1910 году году в Копенгагене состоялась вторая Международная конференция трудящихся женщин. На ней Клара Цеткин, немецкая политическая деятельница и активистка борьбы за права женщин, предложила ежегодно праздновать Международный женский день. На конференции присутствовали более 100 женщин из 17 стран: представительницы профсоюзов, социалистических партий и объединений работающих женщин. Идея Цеткин получила единодушную поддержку, однако дата не была зафиксирована и в разных странах праздник отмечался в разные дни марта. 
Итак, женщины по всему миру выходили на демонстрации и шествия, призывая власти предоставить им право голоса, улучшить условия труда рабочих, а также искоренить классовое разделение в обществе. Однако не было одной даты, ассоциирующейся с «женским днем». Почему же мы отмечаем его именно 8 марта? История выбора этой даты ведет в Россию, а именно в неспокойный февраль 1917 года.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2. 

D

When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure of its time. The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt and included a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests. It covered a region of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high. The wall had 13 false doors cut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide. The false doors and the trench were incorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors. If someone wished to enter, he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall. Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of having only his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well.

The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath the base of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them to discourage robbers. One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels. Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes, were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages. They are inscribed with the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made from different kinds of stone.

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.

script: 
我从现在年轻人的表达当中我没有看到个性，我看到的是共性。我很少很少看到一个年轻人，给我有个性的表达，让我一惊。我*，这话，他这么说？这么看？我几乎看不到。语言都趋同，表达方式趋同，词语趋同。我不觉得今天的孩子比我们那会儿孩子更有个性，真的一点没有。为什么？还是因为你们每个人有个手机，有一个网络。网络和整个的媒体在教你们怎么说话。然后你们统一性越来越强。
表达   biǎo dá fāng shì；the way they speak
个性   gè xìng；personality 
译文translation:
I can't see the personality in the expressions of young people now, what I see is the commonality. I seldom see a young man who gives me a speech of personality that surprises me. Which can makes me think ‘Why did he say that? Why did he have this idea?’ I can barely see it. Languages are the same, the way they speak are the same, and words are the same. I don't think the young people now have stronger personality than our times, really not at all. Why? That’s because each of you has a cell phone, the Internet and the entire media is teaching you how to speak. Then you guys become more and more unifie.
