   People around the world watched Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton get married. The royal wedding broke records for live streaming on the Internet. It also produced more than 2,000,000 tweets on Twitter.
  The ceremony took place Friday at Westminster Abbey in London.
  “I, Catherine Elizabeth, take thee, William Arthur Philip Louis, to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward…”
  Kate wore a flowing white gown designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director of Alexander McQueen. William wore a red military uniform.
  Hats were a big fashion statement. Many of those invited wore them.
  Kate’s sister, Philippa, was her maid of honor. William’s brother, Harry, was his best man.
  “I, William Arthur Philip Louis, take thee, Catherine Elizabeth, to be my wedded wife…”
  It was Britain’s biggest wedding since William and Harry’s parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, were married in 1981.
  Nearly 2,000 guests filled the church on Friday. Westminster Abbey was where the funeral for William’s mother took place after Diana died in a car crash in 1997.
  Hundreds of thousands of people filled the streets and parks of London to watch the wedding on video screens.
  Among the wedding guests were English football star David Beckham and his wife Victoria, British Prime Minister David Cameron, the king of Norway and singer Elton John.
  
  Bahrain’s crown prince was invited but decided not to attend because of unrest in his country. Britain withdrew an invitation to the ambassador from Syria over violence against protesters there.
  After the ceremony, the royal couple traveled to Buckingham Palace. Crowds cheered when the newlyweds appeared on a balcony and shared a short public kiss, and then a longer one.
  Later, William drove his wife out of Buckingham Palace in an open-top Aston Martin car.
  
  William and the newest member of the royal family will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
  
  Kate is 29 years old. William will be 29 in June. His grandmother is Queen Elizabeth. His father, Prince Charles, is first in line to become king. William, as the older son, is 2nd in line. Katherine would not become queen, however, since she is not in the royal blood line.
  
  There was a big celebration at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. That was where William and Kate first met as art history students in 2001.
  
  全世界目睹了英国威廉王子和凯特•米德尔顿的婚礼。这场皇室婚礼刷新了多项网络直播收视率,同时为推特网(twitter)创造了超过两百万条的信息。
  这场皇室婚礼于周五在伦敦威斯敏斯特教堂举行。
  “我,凯瑟琳•伊丽莎白在神圣的婚约中以你,威廉•阿瑟•菲利普•刘易斯作为我的丈夫,从今日起……”
  凯特身穿白色拖尾婚纱,由亚历山大•麦昆品牌的创意总监莎拉伯顿设计。威廉王子身穿红色军装。
  帽子是这场婚礼的时尚亮点。出席婚礼的嘉宾中很多人都佩戴着一顶帽子。
  伴娘和伴郎分别是凯特的妹妹菲利帕和威廉王子的弟弟哈里王子。
  “我,威廉•阿瑟•菲利普•刘易斯在神圣的婚约中以你,凯瑟琳•伊丽莎白作为我的妻子…”
  这是自威廉王子和哈里王子的父母查尔斯王储和戴安娜王妃在1981年的婚礼之后规模最大的一场皇室婚礼。
  周五有近两千宾客应邀到威斯敏斯特教堂参加婚礼。威廉王子的母亲戴安娜王妃在1997年不幸遭遇车祸后,葬礼也是在这里举行的。
  成千上万的人们聚集在伦敦街头和公园,通过屏幕观看了婚礼的整个过程。
  婚礼的嘉宾包括英国足球明星大卫•贝克汉姆和他的妻子维多利亚,英国首相大卫•卡梅伦,挪威国王和英国摇滚歌手艾尔顿•约翰。
  巴林岛的皇储也获邀参加,但由于其本国动荡的局势而未能参加婚礼。迫于当地反对者的暴动英国方面取消了对一位叙利亚使节的邀请。
  典礼结束后,这对王室夫妇返回白金汉宫。当这对新婚夫妇出现在露台上并当众亲吻时,群众发出了阵阵欢呼声。
  稍后,威廉王子驾驶一辆阿斯顿•马丁敞篷车载着他的妻子驶出白金汉宫。
  威廉王子和他新进的皇室成员现已被封为剑桥公爵和公爵夫人。
  凯特今年29岁,威廉6月将满29岁。他的祖母是伊丽莎白女王。他的父亲是查尔斯王子,也就是国王的第一顺位人。威廉作为查尔斯的长子,是国王的第二顺位人。然而,凯瑟琳不会成为女王,因为她没有皇室血统。
  在苏格兰的圣安德鲁斯大学有一场盛大的庆祝活动。2001年,同为艺术史专业的学生威廉和凯特在这里相遇。

俗话说,物以稀为贵。在高校某些专业中,“稀缺”的女生在大学学习中可能经常会享受到男生的“众星捧月”待遇,但在就业时,却只能眼看着男生们一个接一个拿到offer而着急。因为在就业市场上,有一些行业由于其工作环境、工作性质的要求更倾向于男生。就业的指向也造成了考生在选择时的“趋利避害”,于是这些专业逐渐成为男生的天下——男生是大多数,女生是“稀有群体”。这些专业有什么特色,男生的优势在哪里?在本文中,

一、 高考英语半开放式作文的命题特点  半开放式作文是近年来英语学科书面表达的一个趋势和要求,也是高考英语书面表达的一种常见题型。所谓“半开放”是指试题给出部分要点,考生自己再增加一些要点。这样的作文可以分为两大部分:试题给出的材料和自己增加的材料。在写给出材料时一定注意不要遗漏要点,更不要曲解试题的意思。在写自己增加部分时也不可以随意发挥,要吃透命题人的意思。例如:关于中学生是否可以把手机带进教
