MEN: You are being chemically castrated.

ATS - LOAM

It's funny, sometimes, how the things with the greatest consequences receive the least attention...

Over the last decade, scientists have begun to realize something is seriously wrong with 'maleness'. Not just of human males, but males of nearly every vertebrate on the planet.

A little more than nine months ago, a new report announced some disturbing conclusions:

The male gender is in danger...

The research – the most comprehensive report yet published – shows that a host of common chemicals is feminising males of every class of vertebrate animals, from fish to mammals, including people.

Backed by some of the world's leading scientists...

...drawing on more than 250 scientific studies from around the world – concentrates mainly on wildlife, identifying effects in species ranging from the polar bears of the Arctic to the eland of the South African plains, and from whales in the depths of the oceans to high-flying falcons and eagles.

It concludes: "Males of species from each of the main classes of vertebrate animals (including bony fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) have been affected by chemicals in the environment.

"Feminisation of the males of numerous vertebrate species is now a widespread occurrence..."

It's official: Men really are the weaker sex


You can read the full report here.

Curious, I went searching for more...

These next two articles are just from the last week:

Divining the Secret of Deformed Roadkill -Judy Hoy has tracked genital malformations among Montana's roadkill for years. She's been reporting disturbing trends for years, but few are paying her heed."

Male bass in many US rivers feminized, study finds

In June of this year, this piece reported:

It’s Time to Learn From Frogs

Some of the first eerie signs of a potential health catastrophe came as bizarre deformities in water animals, often in their sexual organs.

Frogs, salamanders and other amphibians began to sprout extra legs. In heavily polluted Lake Apopka, one of the largest lakes in Florida, male alligators developed stunted genitals.

In the Potomac watershed near Washington, male smallmouth bass have rapidly transformed into “intersex fish” that display female characteristics. This was discovered only in 2003, but the latest survey found that more than 80 percent of the male smallmouth bass in the Potomac are producing eggs.

It disturbingly continues:

Now scientists are connecting the dots with evidence of increasing abnormalities among humans, particularly large increases in numbers of genital deformities among newborn boys. For example, up to 7 percent of boys are now born with undescended testicles, although this often self-corrects over time. And up to 1 percent of boys in the United States are now born with hypospadias, in which the urethra exits the penis improperly, such as at the base rather than the tip.

The suspected culprit?

Endocrine Disrupters.

They are very widely used in agriculture, industry and consumer products. Some also enter the water supply when estrogens in human urine — compounded when a woman is on the pill — pass through sewage systems and then through water treatment plants.

These endocrine disruptors have complex effects on the human body, particularly during fetal development of males.

“A lot of these compounds act as weak estrogen, so that’s why developing males — whether smallmouth bass or humans — tend to be more sensitive,” said Robert Lawrence, a professor of environmental health sciences at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “It’s scary, very scary.”

Is this all hype?

Apparently not.

The Endocrine Society released a 50 page statement this past June:


There is growing interest in the possible health threat posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which are substances in our environment, food, and consumer products that interfere with hormone biosynthesis, metabolism, or action resulting in a deviation from normal homeostatic control or reproduction. In this first Scientific Statement of The Endocrine Society, we present the evidence that endocrine disruptors have effects on male and female reproduction, breast development and cancer, prostate cancer, neuroendocrinology, thyroid, metabolism and obesity, and cardiovascular endocrinology. Results from animal models, human clinical observations, and epidemiological studies converge to implicate EDCs as a significant concern to public health. The mechanisms of EDCs involve divergent pathways including (but not limited to) estrogenic, antiandrogenic, thyroid, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor {gamma}, retinoid, and actions through other nuclear receptors; steroidogenic enzymes; neurotransmitter receptors and systems; and many other pathways that are highly conserved in wildlife and humans, and which can be modeled in laboratory in vitro and in vivo models. Furthermore, EDCs represent a broad class of molecules such as organochlorinated pesticides and industrial chemicals, plastics and plasticizers, fuels, and many other chemicals that are present in the environment or are in widespread use. We make a number of recommendations to increase understanding of effects of EDCs, including enhancing increased basic and clinical research, invoking the precautionary principle, and advocating involvement of individual and scientific society stakeholders in communicating and implementing changes in public policy and awareness...

Awareness, indeed.

Were you aware?

And yet, look at the scale of the problem:


...Half the male fish in British lowland rivers have been found to be developing eggs in their testes...

...40 per cent of the male cane toads – a species so indestructible that it has become a plague in Australia – had become hermaphrodites in a heavily farmed part of the state, with another 20 per cent undergoing lesser feminisation....

...Two-thirds of male Sitka black-tailed deer in Alaska have been found to have undescended testes and deformed antler growth, and roughly the same proportion of white-tailed deer in Montana were discovered to have genital abnormalities...

In South Africa, eland have been revealed to have damaged testicles while being contaminated by high levels of gender-bender chemicals, and striped mice from one polluted nature reserved were discovered to be producing no sperm at all.

At the other end of the world, hermaphrodite polar bears – with penises and vaginas – have been discovered and gender-benders have been found to reduce sperm counts and penis lengths in those that remained male. Many of the small, endangered populations of Florida panthers have been found to have abnormal sperm.

Other research has revealed otters from polluted areas with smaller testicles and mink exposed to PCBs with shorter penises. Beluga whales in Canada's St Lawrence estuary and killer whales off its north-west coast – two of the wildlife populations most contaminated by PCBs – are reproducing poorly, as are exposed porpoises, seals and dolphins.

...

...[Human] sperm counts are dropping precipitously. Studies in more than 20 countries have shown that they have dropped from 150 million per millilitre of sperm fluid to 60 million over 50 years. (Hamsters produce nearly three times as much, at 160 million.) Professor Nil Basu of Michigan University says that this adds up to "pretty compelling evidence for effects in humans".

    As the most adaptable creature on the planet, we will make it through this. The question is, will your gene pool last the next few generations?

    Quick five-step writing training


    The formation of any kind of skills, techniques, and to reach proficiency, must be dry hammer Bai-Lian, Practice makes perfect, clever China is what it means to be living. Walking, runner's speed is out of practice, swimming, cycling athletes speed is out of practice. Fast writing, too, to improve the speed of writing written, mainly by train. Rapid writing is no secret, no magic figure, as long as through the rigorous training, can produce results, the problem is to have scientific training methods and procedures. I took a class each, all in strict accordance with the following five steps for training. (A) the quality of training, also known as basic training fast writing training center is So I took a class for each, the first step is to conduct basic training. Through basic training required to achieve the following purposes: 1, increased interest in writing, to develop writing emotional psychology tells us that interest is access to knowledge, the formation of skills, techniques, development of intellectual power. Therefore, any form of teaching must strictly follow the principle of interest. Only when the students writing had a strong interest in, the rapid cultural training for the Division will be effective. Psychology tells us the same time, interest and current needs, and therefore interested in ways to improve student writing, although diverse, but one important one is quick to students writing the purpose of education, if students understand the need for rapid composition , and he will be on writing a keen interest in learning Hing. In addition, the essay questions to closely follow the situation with the times, to meet the student's real life, the proposition to try new, to stimulate student interest in writing, so that school students have something to write. 2. The accumulation of writing materials this should go through the entire writing training is always fast, but in the basic training phase should focus on grasping. Therefore, we ask students to remember the sub-topic; some typical materials, such as the patriotism, the party's leadership, respect for knowledge, reform, clean government, learning from Lei Feng, and so on, each side must remember a two typical materials. Accumulation of material, teachers can do to guide, to enable students to find their own, not to the class unity, class unity, and writing arguments will be similar. The accumulated material to note three points: First, a typical, two must be accurate, they must remember the simplicity. To stress the importance of the brain in mind, to back, can not rely on laptops. The more abundant material, writing faster. 3. If a student writing a rich language poor language, writing desperately can not find a right words to express themselves, often wrote coated, painted and written, you can not improve the writing speed. If the vocabulary

    Everyone was drunk last night. Wastey-face, sorority-girl, spring-break-at-Panama-City-Beach, puke-on-your-own shoes drunk. Well, except Bethenny, because she’s pregnant. And Jill, because Jill wasn’t in the episode (at all!). But all of the other Real Housewives of New York City were tossing drinks back like they had just gotten done with finals.

    They drank and ate, ate and drank, and then they yelled at each other and revealed some latent lesbian tendencies. Ramona danced her middle-aged white lady jig during what she called “turtle time,” and then there were some Hooters girls. As intensely alcoholic as the whole thing was, I would have picked their booze cruise over LuAnn’s awkward, slobbery date with a manchild any day. I mean, it looked like he had highlights.

    Let’s just go ahead and get this unpleasantness out of the way: LuAnn fancies herself a singer just likes Kim from Atlanta does, and she found herself a producer with a mohawk that would actually go on record as thinking that she’s just great. He also wears his sunglasses inside, and I think that tendency tells you a lot about a person’s ability to make thoughtful, well-reasoned decisions. As for the actual recording, we all know how that part goes because we all watched Kim do it on and off for two season, but LuAnn went in, recorded, hit about a third of the notes and got auto-tuned within an inch of her life. The scenes where she sang were terrible but mercifully short, and I don’t think too much blood leaked out of my ears in the process.

    In much more pleasant surroundings, Bethenny, Kelly, Alex and Sonja accompanied Ramona on her bachelorette trip to St. John, which they insisted on referring to as a “bachelorette” despite the fact that Ramona has been married for 17 years. The place looked gorgeous and Ramona rented a ginormous yacht for all of them, and when Kelly saw it, she took of in a dead sprint toward it like if she got to the boat first, she would get to keep it. Incidentally, Kelly doesn’t know what the phrase “eating crow” means or that gummy bears have fake sugar in them. Those are just a few things that we learned while the ladies were in the process of arriving at their vacation destination.

    Ramona bought approximately 8,000 bathing suits and it was kind of adorable how excited she was about the whole thing, but the atmosphere got contentious pretty fast. Bethenny was straight off of a trip to her father’s funeral and understandably in a bit of a mood, and Kelly was…well, she was just Kelly. Bethenny made some joke about needing to crush the grapes in the fridge if the waiter didn’t get the intravenous drip of pinot to Ramona quickly enough, and Kelly got upset because she actually thought that Bethenny was going to mash up the grapes. Yep. I really can’t improve on that, beyond the sort of farcical idiocy that it already

    PayPal助中国涉外旅游公司规避在线欺诈风险 合作三年ChinaTour.Net实现业绩腾飞

    引文:

    “携手PayPal后,我们在在线机票交易及收付款流程中面临的诈骗风险大幅降低,令我们切实体会到了深受全球超过一亿活跃用户信赖的先进第三方支付平台带来的安全保障。PayPal业界领先的验证技术和高风险规避能力帮助我们实现了销售额的飞速增长;同时,其遍及全球的巨大用户数量也为我们提供了广阔的成长空间。” —— 北京紫龙城电子商务有限公司(ChinaTour.Net)徐丰

     

    公司名称:北京紫龙城电子商务有限公司(ChinaTour.Net)

     

    公司简介

    北京紫龙城电子商务有限公司(以下称ChinaTour.Net)2003年成立于北京,是一家专业涉外网络旅游公司,向中国境外游客提供赴中国入境旅游包括酒店、机票等预订服务及导游项目,平均每年为来自全球超过5万名境外游客提供赴中国境内游的优质便捷服务。

     

    机遇与困境

    随着中国入境旅游的市场规模逐年扩大,越来越多的国外客户倾向于方便快捷地在线预订和购买机票酒店等旅游产品。北京紫龙城电子商务有限公司(ChinaTour.Net)总经理徐丰表示:“随着入境旅游网络预订市场增速加快,在线模式不久有望全面取代传统旅行社的经营模式。我们从中看到了非常乐观的业务发展前景,也预计到未来几年,将是中国在线旅行社(简称OTA -- Online Travel Agency)行业高速发展的时期。”

     

    据徐丰介绍,OTA产业在开拓海外市场时,首先要面临的挑战就在于要建立完善的风险控制体系以确保自身运营成果,其次在于要提升买家体验及全方位提高客户满意度。由于网络市场虚拟化的特点,OTA企业更容易遭遇欺诈风险。在ChinaTour.Net的业务中,这种风险有90%都是来自于无法面对面交易的机票业务,比如较为普遍的通过盗用他人卡号及用户资料而进行的恶意诈骗。

     

    在成立初期,ChinaTour.Net使用的是第三方信用卡收款工具,由于该系统只需提供信用卡卡号、有效期及持卡人姓名等简单信息即可完成支付过程,缺乏完善的监测系统和风控系统,使得机票业务拒付率很高,更存在较高的恶意欺诈风险。由于时常发生的拒付事件造成了难以承担的巨大经济损失,ChinaTour.Net不得不在2008年暂停了国际卡机票在线销售业务。

     

    解决方案

    当2008年经营遇到挫折的时候,ChinaTour.Net团队经过了审慎研究、比较多家第三方支付公司的解决方案,最终决定使用PayPal解决方案,重新启动国际卡机票在线销售业务。从开始采用PayPal支付方案的那一刻起,ChinaTour.Net团队就感受到了其对业务发展的保障与推动作用。

     

    在使用之初,相较第三方信用卡收款工具,ChinaTour.Net团队感到PayPal的明显优势在于:第一,在风控系统方面更具精准即时性;第二,在手续费方面性价比较高;第三,相较第三方信用工具无差别的保证金收取,PayPal有灵活人性化的评判系统来制定保证金的分级标准。

     

    在使用逐渐深入的过程中,ChinaTour.Net团队更进一步发现:PayPal团队对风险提醒的反馈速度极快,可以在24小时内提示他们具有潜在风险性的付款;其次,PayPal 对付款人账户核实、未核实及未登记三种不同状态的界定,帮助他们快速判断付款人信用程度;第三,PayPal 提供的真实信息(如付款人的姓名和电话号码)方便他们核实付款人身份。

     

    因此,ChinaTour.Net很快就从一开始使用的网站标准版收款(Website Payments Standard)升级到更便捷的快速结账(Express Checkout)模式。

     

    快速结账是通过API与PayPal深度集成,精简结账步骤,最终实现高转化率的收款接口模式。快速结账模式的采用,使ChinaTour.Net和PayPal的互动性有了进一步增强。其特有的后台管理功能——即时付款通知(IPN, Instant Payment Notification),可及时反映交易账户详情,对于所有的交易以及该交易后续可能出现的争议或退款时,PayPal可以通过后台发消息的形式通知商户的网站。通过IPN,ChinaTour.Net团队能够更方便地实现后续的业务流程——包括跟踪买家的购买行为、实时完成客户付款后的后续步骤等,从而大幅提高交易效率。快速结账模式的启用使ChinaTour.Net团队可以将精力更多地放在其他风险可能性较高的账户处理中,降低了风控成本。

     

    通过合作后的深入了解,ChinaTour.Net发现PayPal凭借业内领先的防欺诈检测工具,可随时监测非正常交易,通常能做到将欺诈行为扼杀在萌芽阶段。PayPal完善的预防欺诈措施,包括业界领先的数据加密技术、专有欺诈风险模型、帮助防止身份被盗用的地址认证服务(AVS)和卡安全代码(CSC)以及全天候工作的反欺诈专家,令ChinaTour.Net在交易过程中后顾无忧。

     

    经验分享

    上述所提及的PayPal完善的预防欺诈系统结合公司自身的风控监测流程,为ChinaTour.Net降低网络欺诈及风险成本上了双保险:

     

    第一,通过Paypal对于买家账户状态的界定,进而判定是否采取风控。对于PayPal已核实的用户付款,ChinaTour.Net可以直接信任出票。因为ChinaTour.Net团队知道,PayPal对于已核实用户,通过采用买家基本信息(包括注册Email鉴定)及买家账户信息鉴定(包括过信用卡小额账户冻结及银行账户小额存款来获取账户核实)两重验证来保证买家状态界定的可靠性。而对于未核实和未登记的用户,ChinaTour.Net团队会根据起飞日期、付款人的姓名是否与乘机人相同等机票订购特性控制风险。

     

    第二,及时处理经由PayPal风险提醒后的订单。PayPal专门针对商户实现的一套高效的风险处理流程 —— 即时付款审核(Instant Payment Review),可在款项完成后的24-48小时内,对登录IP、网络环境进行监测, ChinaTour.Net团队从而能即时得到Pay

Gas pipeline within the cabinet and all import and export of seal adhesive epoxy fiberglass protection achieved remarkable preservative effect. V. Conclusion Jian language as conditions for gas tank corrosion and protection issues, very little research. From our present situation of the current chemical production, for a long period of time, it is an important production, large-scale equipment used in daily life. Once completed it is not possible to update the short term, so the gas tank to extend the service life of corrosion engineering ashamed. Is particularly important. Chemical equipment, protective measures, selection of corrosion resistant materials generally have equipment, protective layer covering the five square-shirt f, according to China's economic situation and the economic burden of enterprises, that have been put into operation the gas tank, covering the protective layer is more feasible, new gas tank for structural transformation is a priority. (A) from the factory gas tank corrosion situation, the tank is uniform corrosion and lighter in the Festival and the bell that has a comprehensive corrosion localized corrosion, and heavier. Lance at the weld and stringer than other parts of the corrosion. However, these problems it has the original gas tank coating caused by improper selection, but the fundamental reason is the structure caused by the irrational. Shanxi Province won the first one is too young scientific papers will be excellent second stool room temperature blackening process for iron and steel research Liu Zhirong Wen-Thani (so if, the city rolling stock plant 030,009) as a black surface finishing technology in the past few decades has been widely used in optical instruments, military equipment, standard parts and some not suitable for play paint, plating, precision components and other items of surface processing.

Three-tier structure of the coating, there is a saying: Fusion bonded epoxy coating layer is the middle layer of plastic is bonded, is a mechanical protective layer of polyethylene, so need to increase the thickness of FBE, improve corrosion resistance . In fact, the introduction of polyethylene fusion bonded epoxy coating layer is intended to solve the polyethylene layer of solid adhesive surface of the pipe is not the problem; and polyethylene by its chemical nature, have excellent corrosion resistance. As the FBE layer and the steel surface firmly bonded, fusion bonded epoxy intermediate rubber and polyethylene for excellent adhesion can, polyethylene is the best mechanical and corrosion protective coating layer, three-layer structure so as many Pipe coating in Therefore, the thickness of the decision fusion bonded epoxy coating factors can and should be firmly bonded metal, the thickness of 70 / ~ m or so will be able to play a role. 3.2 Materials (1) the use of polyethylene PE, there are two now, the molecular weight distribution of a single peak with a bimodal molecular weight distribution of another.

    Pre-school English teaching body language of empirical research


    [Abstract] in pre-school English teaching, teachers have to write papers with a particular behavior, that situation changed with the class ways of speaking and body potential approach. Teachers often speak slowly, with emphasis on the clarity of each English word to ensure that every student can better understand. Similarly, they will use many different body language. In this paper, an experiment designed to assess the body language in the pre-school English teaching role in the proposed pre-school English teachers in the training process, the use of body language should be used as a skills training. [Keywords] pre-school English teaching body language an empirical research, theory and research reviewed body language non-verbal communication is a part of it is that people communicate with each other an important medium. American psychologist Ray L.

In pre-school English teaching, the teacher's body language, communication in daily life is different from the body language. This is because the daily communication is body language and words work together. In short, they rely on each other, complement each other. In daily communication, all participants had the ability to use the same language media, the speaker unknowingly use body language to construct their ideas, organize their language. However, this is not the same as pre-school English teaching in the use of body language, because as the teaching activities of participants, teachers and students of English proficiency is not the same ability level.

    Increases in primary school teaching strategies of English words


    Abstract: Memory is a primary school to learn English words a weak link, how to help students in the most efficient unit of time never forget home to learn the vocabulary for students learning how to control this problem effectively, the author sums up the English words Some memory aspects of teaching strategies. This article attempts to move the law in accordance with Chinese Pinyin is the establishment of sound form and the corresponding law, to Full use of the word pronunciation word memory consolidation, with three-dimensional auditory stimulation to strengthen the memory of the word. King insisted on the use of real language word, sentence for students a solid grasp of vocabulary, flexible use of students to communicate in English language ability.



    English is a phonetic, phonetic biggest feature is the there is a systematic correspondence. What a word in English how to write, depends almost entirely on word pronunciation, writing a word, mainly by writing out the words phonetically to the letter; to remember an English word, it depends mainly on the pronunciation of the word to remember. So in the course of English words of memory, the memory of the voice is more important clues. American psychologist Harold E · Barth and H. G · Baker's experiments show that memory of words by sound than simply use your eyes to remember more than 34%.

    Teaching new words, pronunciation of the first analysis of compliance with the law, there is a combination of letters, first to teach pronunciation of letter combinations do not meet the law, can help students with sub-syllable word. So difficult to remember words can decrease. Teachers should be sound, form, meaning with, not only to teach a particular aspect in isolation, according to letters or letter combinations to spell out the word pronunciation rules directly, the spelling and pronunciation of English words to grasp as a whole, to see a word according to their spelling can be read out their sound; in turn, to hear the pronunciation of a word, we can according to their pronunciation to spell out the word. So the spelling and spelling as a whole. Remember the word form, also remember the words sound, remember the words to remember this sound is the same spelling of the word, and gradually strengthen the new words learned audio-shaped impression. Such as the use of audio-shaped combination of lists has been studied similar words, teaching March, it can list the car, are, arm, art, far, farm, farmer, park, card and other words, the sound, form, meaning the comparison, the memory effect will be greater.

    The concept of creative teaching elementary school mathematics


    Summary mathematical concepts constitute the basis of mathematical knowledge. Concept of teaching in the teaching of mathematics plays an important role. The author's experimental studies in three years, the concept of creative teaching, teaching objectives, teaching principles and teaching methods in these three areas a number of exploration. In this paper, making the concept of creative teaching, to be followed in teaching the principles of creative teaching, creative teaching can be used to complete the teaching methods and creative teaching, teaching objectives for a brief. the concept of creative teaching elementary school mathematics teachers is a combination of teaching mathematical concepts to follow the principles of creative teaching, using innovative teaching methods to stimulate students to create motivation, help students develop creative potential, creative thinking ability of students for the purposes of teaching and learning activities. Here's the concept of creative teaching elementary school mathematics teaching objectives, teaching methods, teaching principles and something to talk about their own views and practices. First, the concept of creative teaching elementary school mathematics teaching objectives teaching goal is teaching objectives, teaching is all about. The concept of creative teaching elementary school mathematics must first complete the general education goals, such as to enable students to understand the concept correctly, firmly grasp the concept, the correct use of the concept and some basic knowledge, basic skills teaching objectives, the completion of the basic teaching goal is to achieve the most important prerequisite for creative teaching. On this basis, we must complete the following teaching objectives: 1. Students find the concept of teaching ability basic goal is to help students develop concepts, and students form a key concept is to discover the essential nature of things or form or law. Discovery is an important form of creation. Modern well-known psychologist Bruner said: use their minds to go in person to obtain knowledge is a discovery. Thus, in mathematics teaching, teachers should strive to create conditions to provide students the opportunity to explore independently, give students adequate space to think, to enable students to observe, experiment, summarize, analyze the process of mathematical concepts to understand the formation and development process , the mathematical re-discovery, re-creation, the discovery of the ability of students. 2.

    Focus on subjects infiltration, the overall quality of students


    Abstract: With the development of science and technology, the natural science continually integrated, boundaries become increasingly blurred, reflecting the inherent integrity of the natural sciences. In order to promote the teaching of English to comprehensive, this article on Keywords: infiltration subject to comprehensive

    Quality education for renewal of a higher standard of English teaching, requires teachers to develop a comprehensive talent, overall quality of students. Is still subject teaching in the case of I believe that, in English Teaching discipline penetration to open their horizons to promote students' comprehensive quality. So how to discipline penetration to overall quality of students it? I think from the following First, new ideas, ideological infiltration 1, establish a new teaching concept: traditional teaching too much emphasis on vocabulary learning, grammar explanations, sentence drills, mechanical practice, knowledge of language is regarded as some of the fragments, isolated to prohibit the point, can not form lines and structure, learning from the social life and personal experience, lack of verbal communication between students, between teaching and discipline within the knowledge of the interaction between the isolated life seriously affect the quality of the harmonious development of students. To change this situation, the English curriculum reform is an important goal is to adhere to the English subject-centered, focusing on contact teaching, enhance the comprehensive course structure. 2, establish a new concept of teachers: Teachers are the builders of the new curriculum is to guide students, teachers determine the quality of English teaching success. From the present point of view the quality of primary and secondary school English teachers, comprehensive ability is the lack of English teachers, many teachers long confined to the discipline of teaching, other subjects studied under very little knowledge, even if some teachers can understand and appreciate the knowledge, but also more difficult to achieve mastery level in order to meet overall requirements of the teaching of English, we English teachers should not only be the knowledge structure of self-compensation, but also to enhance interdisciplinary research, in order to develop themselves and improve quality. 3, establish a new outlook on students: in the political, cultural, multi-polarization of the premise, showing a trend of integration of economic development, economic integration is to develop an integrated economic system and to adapt to this . Foreign language teaching is an integral part of quality education for all, it is to train students in English language proficiency courses is to train students the importance of an integrated humanities curriculum.
