您學英語的目標是什麼呢？ 會考拿高分？順利上理想高中？ 英語自然開口說？未來學習更有底氣？ 無論目標是什麼，能讓夢想成真的關鍵字， 就是「國中英語」。 為什麼把國中英語學好的人，能讓學好英語的美夢成真？因為： 1. 海闊天空、多如牛毛的英文單字，大都是從國中英單延伸出來的，國中1500字沒學好，後面的單字量根本蓋不起來。 2. 國中文法就能回答會考、高中英文考科八成以上的文法題目，地基打得穩，後面才不用一直回頭補洞。 3. 多益、托福等各種英文檢定，核心其實就是國中到高中程度的文法句型，想在檢定中拿高分，國中程度佔了很重要的成分。 打好國中英語基礎，就是打好學英語的地基。高中英語只是把國中英語說得更複雜一點而已，國中基礎打穩了，高中英語自然能迎刃而解。至於各種檢定考試，很多人以為那跟學校英語是兩回事，但國中英語沒有確實掌握好，檢定是不可能拿高分的。 可別小看國中程度的英語，只要活用得宜，往往能表現出讓人刮目相看的實力。例如： ★ He’s in charge of this area. 他是這個區域的負責人。 ★ How’s it going so far? （報告、討論）目前進行得怎麼樣了？ ★ I think you’re missing out on something big. 我認為你錯過了一個很棒的機會。 ★ That song really rocks! 那首歌真的超讚！ 如果再往上加一點高中程度的文法，這些國中單字的威力還能被發揮得更淋漓盡致： ★ These players make a great team together. 這些球員們配合得很有默契。 但是，學國中英文除了背單字，還要記文法，內容那麼多，讀起來好複雜！有沒有可以一邊背單字、一邊學文法的單字書呢？您的心聲我們聽到了！ 本書首創「單字．文法」同步進化學習法， 讓您全面提升聽說讀寫競爭力！ 本書除了參照教育部課綱編定的國中生必備單字以外，並徹底分析國中會考、高中英文檢定必考詞彙，嚴選絕對必背1,500單字，再依國中所有文法主題精心編排，單字、文法交叉學習，為國中會考及各種英語檢定打好地基。特色有： ★ 國中「單字．文法」同步交叉學習，全面提升造句力！ ★ 簡單清楚的文法說明，讓您一看就知道怎麼用！ ★ 精修小專欄，釐清英文學習迷思誤

Discover the rarified Peranakan (native-born Chinese of Southeast Asia) aesthetics that are today highly sought-after for their beauty: distinctive furniture and ceramics, textiles and jewelry, and many other art objects. Peranakan Chinese Home displays these extraordinary objects, visible markers of a highly developed culture. The broad range of beautiful objects which the Peranakan Chinese created and enjoyed in their daily lives is astounding. Each chapter in The Peranakan Chinese Home focuses on a different area and presents objects used or found in those spaces. Each piece is described in the context of their utility as household objects, as part of periodic celebrations to mark the Chinese New Year and other holidays, or in important life passage rituals relating to ancestor worship, birth, marriage, mourning and burial. The meaning of the rich symbolic and ornamental motifs found on the objects is discussed in detail, and key differences are highlighted between Peranakan objects

The animal care and use facility support - or cage wash - area has evolved tremendously in the past fifty years. It is now recognized as a critical component in programs of animal care and use throughout the world, yet there has previously been no single, comprehensive resource to support it. This much-needed book describes facility support operations that have a direct, substantial effect on the program's ability to provide quality animal care. Editors James D. Cox and Bruce W. Kennedy, practitioners with more than 80 years of experience in laboratory animal facilities between them, show how cage wash serves as the hub of the entire research animal enterprise. After all, when cage wash comes to a halt, there are no clean cages or equipment, and research struggles to continue. There is a significant volume of knowledge necessary to work in facility support roles, spread across many different resources, many of which are unpublished and/or at a highly skilled technical level.
