電視台一條真人騷片，逼使時裝巨頭H&M要與民對話，喚起觀眾關注身上華美衣服背後的血汗故事，國會討論。挪威一個網上電視台把三名潮流博客，送到柬埔寨的H&M成衣代工廠工作，少女哭著說：「我再也受不了了，這是什麼樣的生活？！」

三名挪威年青博客閒時買一件衣服也要600多美元，相當她們做成衣廠工人五個月薪金。
工廠內工人日以繼夜工作，縫好的衣服她們一件也買不起，埋首做重覆又枯燥的工作只為生存。他們甚至連抱怨幻想的時間也沒有。在不見天日的工廠裡，參加者17歲的Anniken Jorgensen在Twitter為眼前一切深刻反省：「我的房間很小，每日五時半就要起床上班，辛苦工作整天只賺得四元……我們都是被寵壞的孩子，我很慚愧。」

亞洲的血汗代工廠遍及柬埔寨、孟加拉、巴基斯坦、越南等地，工人月薪低至三數十美元。
「時裝是醜陋的化身，難頂到我們每六個月要換一批。」王爾德的名句過時了，今天潮流時尚不止一年變兩次。無論是價廉物美的連鎖店或動輒過千元的品牌，大多來自這些血汗工人。

去年孟加拉工廠大樓大火倒塌，死了一千多條人命，曝露了這些血汗工廠的悲慘故事。然而事過境遷，還不及新一批時裝推出，大眾的記憶已消退。

挪威最大報章Aftenposten的網上電視台就想起利用真人騷的點子，讓趨捧潮流的少女去感同身受。
「我們好想製作一個系列讓娜威的年輕人想想誰人造他們的衣服。青少年花得太多錢買衫，但無人知衣服從何而來。我們經常買衫穿衣，我們希望可拍出一些能讓人有行動的系列，而我們做到了。」Sweatshop-- - Deadly Fashion導演兼編輯Joakim Kleven說。

真人騷播出後有超過150萬人收看，不單在挪威引起關注，在西班牙、比利時、墨西哥及阿根庭也牽起社會討論。
真人騷其中一名少女主角Anniken把經歷寫成網誌，並要求與 H&M管理層會面，最終獲接見。她向時裝巨頭細說在柬浦寨的經歷，以及H&M應如何負責。包括H&M在內的幾家大品牌要檢視代工廠運作。亞洲代工廠問題亦將在挪威國會討論。

電視台可以拍膠劇維穩，可以不停重播台慶拖糧，也可以拍一輯引發社會思考的節目。

胸襟宏大

/蘋果日報 黃金冒險號 2015-01-17/
首富的紅顏知己說：「李先生不適宜從政，因為他的胸襟太廣闊。」意思就是，在中國人社會，「從政」的人，皆雞肚小腸。

在文明世界，能做得大事的人，胸襟必定要廣闊。

電影「解碼遊戲」，講電腦始祖、英國數學家屠靈（Alan Turing）的生平。屠靈在劍橋畢業不久，適逢第二次世界大戰，考進了英國通訊情報中心，截查納粹德國的密碼通訊。

工作最艱險的時候，上面傳達：情報中心有蘇聯間諜將英國一些機密傳遞給共產的蘇聯。

對於英國，希特拉固然是凶惡的敵人，蘇聯一直滲透英國，史太林赤化英國的陰謀從二十年代就開始，蘇聯史太林這個敵人，一樣邪惡。情報中心不可以有蘇聯的共諜。

後來，共諜是誰，屠靈發現了。然而發現首相邱吉爾最高當局，不但一早知道共諜是誰，而且這個共諜，還是蓄意安排，故意向史太林發放一些無關痛癢的三流「情報」──因為蘇聯至少還是盟國，一起對德作戰。英國不可以讓史太林知道，英國防範史太林的程度與防範希特拉一樣嚴密。竊取情報，是蘇共的慣性，所以，你要故意向這個「盟國」暗鬆一槓，你向他提供間諜，在你的內部「偷料」，但確保史太林知道的，不屬核心機密，不會危害英美，讓史太林相信，為了共抗德國，英國把蘇聯真的當盟友，不予提防。

只有邱吉爾有這等狡詐，因為邱吉爾有宏大的胸襟。邱吉爾的反共意志，畢生從未動搖，但是在一九四三年，威脅英國存亡的是希特拉。邱吉爾與史太林，擁有共同敵人。

一旦擁有共同的敵人，也就有了共同的利益。這時，邱吉爾無論怎樣厭惡史太林，雅爾塔會議，邱吉爾與史太林同席。

共產黨的「統戰」，也是相似的戰略，「聯合次要敵人，孤立主要敵人」。所以當毛澤東周恩來向其他「民主人士」展開「統戰」的時候，好像很有胸襟。當然，毛周一個代表的「胸襟」，是偽裝的欺詐之術，邱吉爾的胸襟，容納工黨組成戰時聯合政府，是真的，宏大的胸襟，在英文裏，有一個很高尚的詞彙，叫做Magnanimity。

The Books of Sir Winston Churchill

The following is a complete list (arranged by date) of Churchill's 43 book-length works in 72 volumes, published over the course of his lifetime (1874-1965) and posthumously. When titles are divided by a slashmark, the second title is the American, the first the English. Bibliographic numbers are from Frederick Woods's Bibliography of the Works of Sir Winston Churchill (Second revised edition, St. Paul's Bibliographies, Winchester, England 1979).  A Connoisseur's Guide to the Books of Sir Winston Churchill, by Richard Langworth identifies through profuse illustrations and descriptive text the various English and foreign editions, and appraise their value and aesthetic desirability. THE STORY OF THE MALAKAND FIELD FORCE First published by Longmans Green, London: 1898 Woods A1 Churchill's first book: a classic account of the uprising on the Northwest Frontier of India. The Silver Library edition of 1899 contains author's revisions intended for the first edition. Both these editions contain 336 338pp. illustrated with maps & plans. Last reprint 1989 by Leo Cooper (London) and W. W. Norton (New York). THE RIVER WAR First published by Longmans Green, London: 1899 (2vols) Woods A2 Churchill's greatest early work: a prose epic with much relevance today. Editions through 1965 are highly collectable. All editions from 1902 had an abridged text, in which Churchill excised about 25% of the original manuscript, but also some new material. First editions have 950pp, others 456 or less. An indispensable work. The Churchill Center is now facilitating publication of a new unabridged edition. SAVROLA First published by Longmans Green, New York: 1899 Woods A3 Much underrated, Savrola reveals the 25-yr-old Churchill's emerging political philosophy, much of which stayed with him for his entire life (Finest Hour 74 was almost entirely devoted to Savrola. Though Savrola was Churchill's only novel, he wrote several short fiction stories including Man Overboard!, On the Flank of the Army and The Dream. Last reprint 1990 by Leo Cooper (London). LONDON TO LADYSMITH VIA PRETORIA First published by Longmans Green, London: 1900 Woods A4 The most exciting early Churchill work, this colorful book sets down Churchill's Boer War experiences, including his escape from the Boers after the Armoured Train attack and his return to British lines. First editions are beautifully illustrated with cover artwork showing the ill fated armoured train. Illustrated by maps and plans within 498 pages. First of the two Boer War volumes. Last reprint 1989 ("The Boer War") by Leo Cooper (London) and W. W. Norton (New York). IAN HAMILTON'S MARCH First published by Longmans Green, London: 1900 Woods A5 In his sequel to the Ladysmith, Churchill takes us through the march on and capture of Pretoria and his triumphant reentry to free his fellow prisoners at the Staats Model Schools. This is some of WSC's best writing on early military campaigns. 410pp, illus. with maps. Last reprint 1989 (The Boer War) by Leo Cooper (London) and W. W. Norton (New York). MR. BRODRICK'S ARMY First published by Arthur L. Humphreys, London: 1903 Woods A6 Likely a vanity press edition commissioned by Churchill with Humphreys, who was known for such projects, this is the author's rarest work, comprising a collection of Churchill's speeches on Army Reform. Last reprint 1977 by the Churchilliana Co. (Sacramento, Calif.) Included in Early Speeches, a reprint bound from the 1974 Collected Works. LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL First published by Macmillan, London: 1906 (2vols) Woods A8 Winston's filial biography is still a standard of its type, brilliantly illustrating the great days of Victorian politics and life in the upper strata of British Society. First editions comprise 2vols, 840pp, illus. All subsequent editions are one volume but complete, and the 1952 edition adds a new Foreword by the author and a new appendix on Lord Randolph's resignation from the government in 1886. Last reprinted 1952 by Odhams Press, London. A reprint bound from the 1974 Collected Works. FOR FREE TRADE First published by Arthur L. Humphreys, London: 1906 Woods A9 Another collection of speeches, this work probably saw fewer than 500 copies and is Churchill's second rarest book. Last reprint 1977 by the Churchilliana Co. (Sacramento, Calif.) Included in "Early Speeches," a reprint bound from the 1974 Collected Works. MY AFRICAN JOURNEY First published by Hodder & Stoughton, London: 1908 Woods A12 Those who impute racism to Churchill have never read the enlightened views expressed over East Africa in this entertaining travelogue. First editions have handsome woodcut covers (WSC with his White Rhino) , 61 photos by the author and contain 226 pages. Last reprint 1989 by Leo Cooper (London). Also published 1992 in a limited leather-bound edition by the Easton Press, Norwalk, Conn. LIBERALISM AND THE SOCIAL PROBLEM First published by Hodder & Stoughton, London: 1909 Woods A15 This early speech collection of the fighting radical ("a traitor to his class") is now extremely scarce and many predict it will soar in value over the next decade. It collects speeches that demonstrate Churchill's remarkably progressive views as a member of the last great Liberal Government of 1906-10. 5000 first editions were printed, each 414pp. Last reprint 1970 by Haskell House (New York). Included in Early Speeches, a reprint bound from the 1974 Collected Works. THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS First published by Hodder & Stoughton, London: 1910 Woods A16 The third rarest Churchill book after Brodrick's Army and For Free Trade, this speech collection from the 1911 election was published cheaply, to be read and thrown away. Now it's a period piece, and scarce. Last reprint 1971 by Taplinger, New York. Included in "Early Speeches," a reprint bound from the 1974 Collected Works. THE WORLD CRISIS First published by Scribners, New York: 1923-31 (5vols, 6 parts) Woods A31 The most compelling of Churchill's multi-volume works puts you at his side during the crucial years 1911-28; fine writing that is impossible to put down. First editions have lately fallen off in value, making them affordable to many; later impressions are now readily available. The US edition is the true first. 5vols in 6 parts, 2500+pp, illustrated with folding maps & plans. As impressively produced as it was written. Strongly recommended for all Churchill libraries. A derivative work was The Great War (1933-34), the first illustrated edition. Last full reprint 2007 by the Folio Society, London. MY EARLY LIFE: A ROVING COMMISSION First published by Thornton Butterworth, London: 1930 Woods A37 Many readers drawn to Churchill through his war memoirs were hooked byMy Early Life. Though inaccurate in places, especially about his schooldays, it remains his most beloved and engaging volume. Fine firsts (392pp, well illustrated) are rare, but frequently reprinted, with probably more individual editions and foreign language translations than any other Churchill work. In print as a Touchstone Paperback with a new introduction by William Manchester, Simon & Schuster, New York. INDIA First published by Thornton Butterworth, London: 1931 Woods A38 Manfred Weidhorn, in the foreword to the American first edition, finds Churchill's speeches on India equal to the war speeches in power and persuasive argument, but in a futile and probably wrong cause. First Editions (144pp.) usually come in orange wraps, seconds in green; the American First is a replica of the rare hardbound first. THOUGHTS AND ADVENTURES / AMID THESE STORMS First published by Thornton Butterworth, London: 1932 Woods A39 There's so much in this book: speculations about the future that are either chillingly or encouragingly accurate, retrospectives on WW1 and divers election experiences, essays on the likes of Moses: hours of great reading. Jacketed firsts (320pp, frontis., cartoons) are rare, but many reprints have appeared over the years. In print in a large-format paperback by ISI Books, with an erudite new foreword by James W. Muller and thoroughly footnoted by Muller and Paul H. Courtenay. MARLBOROUGH: HIS LIFE AND TIMES First published by George Harrap Ltd., London: 1933-38 (4vols) Woods A40 As you read this great biography you will realize where much of Churchill's World War II thought and rhetoric came from. The same themes are there: unity through alliance, death to continental tyrants. Jacketed firsts are uncommon but not rare; however, prices have tumbled. The first British (4vols) and American (6vols) editions contain 2550pp, illus. The American vols. 1&2 equate to the British vol. 1 and vols. 3&4 to the British vol. 2. These were originally sold in pairs. Last full reprint 1991 by the Folio Society, London. An abridged one-volume edition with an introduction by H. S. Commager was published by Scribner in 1968. GREAT CONTEMPORARIES First published by Thornton Butterworth, London: 1937 Woods A43 Churchill's essays on the great personages of his time remains a classic. His views are largely derived from personal acquaintance, and range over a multitude from late Victorian statesmen (Morley, Rosebery, Joseph Chamberlain, Balfour, Asquith) through notables of the Great War (Hindenburg, the Kaiser, Foch, Clemenceau, Lawrence) and on to personalities of the 1930s (Hitler, Roosevelt, Alfonso XIII, George V). First editions comprised 336pp, illustrated. In print in a large format paperback by ISI Books, with an erudite new foreword and annotations by James W. Muller and Paul H. Courtenay. ARMS AND THE COVENANT / WHILE ENGLAND SLEPT First published by George Harrap Ltd., London: 1938 Woods A44 A scarce work that was reprinted only once after the war, this contains some of Churchill's most prescient and masterful speeches covering the period from 1932 through Munich. First editions contain 466pps. Last reprinted 1971 by N. W. Ayer, Nashua, N.H. STEP BY STEP 1936-1939 First published by Thornton Butterworth, London: 1939 Woods A45 Churchill's foreign affairs articles from 1936 to 1939 are compiled in this important work, which chronicles Britain's loss of air parity, France's decline, and the renascent Germany of Adolf Hitler. First editions contain 366 pages and are illustrated with a folding map. Last reprinted 1971 by N. W. Ayer, Nashua, N.H. INTO BATTLE / BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS First published by Cassell, London: 1941 Woods A66 His best selling prewar work, this book contains the greatest Churchill speeches of the war, from Blood Toil Tears & Sweat to his homecoming at Harrow School. 300pp. Last reprinted 1966 by Capricorn Paperbacks, New York, but readily available secondhand. THE UNRELENTING STRUGGLE First published by Cassell, London: 1942 Woods A89 Contains speeches from 12Nov40 through Pearl Harbor and the "some chicken, some neck" speech in Ottawa, 12/41. First editions 350pp, illustrated. Last reprinted 1971 by N. W. Ayer, Nashua, N.H., but readily available secondhand. THE END OF THE BEGINNING First published by Cassell, London: 1943 Woods A94 Contains speeches given at the turning point of the war, following victories at Alamein and Stalingrad and the North Africa landings. 258pp, illustrated. Last reprinted 1971 by N. W. Ayer, Nashua, N.H., but readily available secondhand. ONWARDS TO VICTORY First published by Cassell, London: 1944 Woods A101 Churchill's speeches before prior to the invasion of Europe on 6 June 1944 are key to the canon. 280pp, illustrated. Not reprinted since 1946 but readily available secondhand and as part of the three volume definitive edition, The War Speeches. THE DAWN OF LIBERATION First published by Cassell, London: 1945 Woods A107 Contains Churchill's 1944 speeches on the road to victory, from "Preparation, Effort in Resolve" to "Hope for Victory. 330pp, illustrated. Not reprinted since 1947 but readily available secondhand and as part of the three volume definitive edition, The War Speeches. VICTORY First published by Cassell, London: 1946 Woods A112 The final war speeches, 240 pages, illustrated. Ronald Cohen discovered that there are two states (page 177 is numbered "77" in the first and this is corrected in the second with a page cancel.) Not reprinted since 1946 but readily available secondhand and as part of the three volume definitive edition, The War Speeches. WAR SPEECHES 1940-1945 First published by Cassell, London: 1946 Woods A113 A softbound collected set of war speeches distilled from the previous six titles, important bibliographically as the first collected edition. Now rare, this work was not reprinted since the 1940s, when it also saw a number of foreign language translations. SECRET SESSION SPEECHES First published by Simon & Schuster, New York: 1946 Woods A114 The last war volume publishes six secret speeches, the first being only partial, reproduced from Churchill's typed manuscript. 96pp. The American edition preceded the Cassell English edition. Not reprinted since 1946 but readily available secondhand and as part of the three volume definitive edition, The War Speeches. THE SECOND WORLD WAR First published by Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston: 1948-53 (6vols) Woods A123 The books that brought most of us to Churchill. "This is not history; this is my case," he said: but what a case. Volume 1, "The Gathering Storm," continues where The World Crisis left off.the volumes contain 5000 pages, illustrated by maps and plans. The American edition preceded the Cassell English Edition by six months because Churchill insisted on numerous last minute changes to the latter, which he considered definitive. Reprinted frequently, still in print and readily available secondhand. An abridged edition with a discussion by Churchill of the first ten years since the war, was published in 1959. THE SINEWS OF PEACE First published by Cassell, London: 1948 Woods A124 The first of five postwar speech books, comprising Churchill's perorations from the end of the war. Last reprint 1949 by Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, but readily available secondhand. PAINTING AS A PASTIME First published by Odhams, London: 1948 Woods A125 Originally published in 1921, this famous essay finally made book form 37 years later. It contains 34 pages of text plus 16 pages of color plates. Frequently reprinted it last appeared as a Penguin Paperback in the 1960s. Readily available secondhand. EUROPE UNITE First published by Cassell, London: 1950 Woods A128 Contains the Leader of the Opposition's speeches from 1947-48, including the all-important "Europe Unite" speech the Hague. Not reprinted, but readily available secondhand. IN THE BALANCE First published by Cassell, London: 1951 Woods A130 The sizzling Leader of the Opposition speaks on Korea, NATO and Socialism on the eve of returning to Downing Street. 430 pages. Not reprinted, and increasingly scarce. THE WAR SPEECHES DEFINITIVE EDITION First published by Cassell, London: 1951-52 (3vols) Woods A136 Compiled from the seven volumes of War Speeches and differing slightly in content, this is the best war speech edition to own because it is printed and bound in superior fashion to the wartime volumes. Last reprinted 1969 by Purnell, London. STEMMING THE TIDE First published by Cassell, London: 1953 Woods A137 A resurgent Churchill leads the Conservatives to victory and makes his first speeches as Prime Minister since 1945. 380pp. Last republished in a remainder binding by Cassell in 1965.

A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING PE0PLES First published by Cassell, London: 1956-58 (4vols) Woods A138 Churchill's last great work, an intensely personal view of history: "Things in history that interested me." was Clement Attlee's humorous alternate title. Broad sweep history in Churchillian style. Four volumes, 1412pp. Last reprinted in complete form by Barnes & Noble, New York, and still available. Also readily available secondhand.

THE UNWRITTEN ALLIANCE First published by Cassell, London: 1961 Woods A142 Churchill's last book in his lifetime collects his speeches from 1953 through 1959. There were no reprints and no American (or other) counterparts to this work; as a result it is very scarce. FRONTIERS AND WARS First published by Eyre & Spottiswoode, London: 1962 ICS A142/1 Mentioned by Woods under A1, this is actually a distillation of his first four war books, the Malakand Field Force, River War, London to Ladysmith andIan Hamilton's March. Last reprinted by Penguin, 1962. YOUNG WINSTON'S WARS First published by Leo Cooper, London: 1972 ICS A143 Edited by Frederick Woods, this work is the first appearance in volume form of Churchill's 1897-1900 war dispatches. A subsequent printing, entitledWinston Churchill, War Correspondent, added the Cuban dispatches from 1895. This was the last published version, by Brassey's, London, 1992. IF I LIVED MY LIFE AGAIN First published by W. H. Allen, London: 1974 ICS A144 A grand compilation from Churchill's writings by Jack Fishman, who unfortunately didn't bother to footnote his sources. Not reprinted, but not hard to find. WINSTON S. CHURCHILL: THE COMPLETE SPEECHES First published by Chelsea House/Bowker, London & New York: 1974 (8vols) ICS A145 A nearly complete, and enormous compilation of Churchill's speeches from his maiden political speech (Bath, 26 July 1897) through 1963 (accepting Honorary American Citizenship). Containing 9,000 pages, this work is now quite scarce and desirable. The only reprint was an abridged 8vol paperback in 1983. THE COLLECTED ESSAYS OF SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL First published by the Library of Imperial History, London: 1975 (4vols) ICS A146 A supplement to the 1974-75 "Collected Works," this is the only collection of Churchill's periodical articles in volume form. It contains all the articles the publishers could find that were not picked up in Churchill's books. Published in two versions, the Centenary Edition (half navy morocco) and the Centenary Limited Edition (vellum). THE DREAM First published by the International Churchill Society, N.H.: 1987 ICS A147 A limited edition of 500 leather-bound copies, of which 20 had handmade marbled endpapers and the rest red moiré cloth endpapers. This work was subsequently reprinted in softbound format and remains available from ICS. It contains Churchill's imagined (some say not quite imagined) conversation with the shade of his father, who returns to visit him in 1947 and is told the history of the world since his own death in 1895, without a hint of the many roles his son played.

年輕人為何憤怒？ 沈祖堯

年輕人為何憤怒？

我讀了托瑪．皮凱提的《二十一世紀資本論》，一方面覺得趣味盎然，另一方面又憂心忡忡。皮凱提從經濟學家的觀點剖析，認為現在財富分配不均愈來愈嚴重，如果不撥亂反正，改善這種情況，世界將爆發大衝突。他把社會的資本增長與收入的增長作對比，分析後發現，資本（以及資本帶來的財富）的增長遠高於經濟和個人收入的增長。更重要的是，資本增長主要累積在社會最上層的人手中。在已發展國家和都市化社會，大部分人的收入增長永遠無法追上財富的增長，結果造成貧富懸殊。若不均的情況繼續惡化，大眾會看到財富分配不均和不公平的現象。最終的結果是：爆發社會衝突的可能性愈來愈大。

皮凱提以過去二百年的經濟數字為根據，在書中指出，全球資本是在十八世紀開始出現重大增長，這種增長是由工業革命促成。原本的農業社會逐漸工業化，歐洲帝國對外殖民，以及經濟體系全球化後，英國、法國和德國開始出現財富分配不均的情況。歐洲人移民到美國後，財富分配不均的故事也在美國重演。拜第一次和第二次世界大戰所賜，各國政府在戰後加緊管制資本，以償還債務和重建被摧毀的城市。他們採取林林總總的措施，包括累進稅制、管制租金和擴大社會服務，藉此管制資本。那些措施令社會最上層的財富縮小，中產階級形成。但在過去五十年，已發展國家的政府將市場自由化，出售公共資產，並採取不干預的經濟政策，導致資本重新積累，以及無可避免的財富分配不均。今天，已發展國家已有跡象顯示，大眾對於日益嚴重的不公平愈來愈不安。如果皮凱提說得沒錯，現在資本積累的趨勢持續或惡化，那麼公眾的不滿也必定繼續和更加強烈。

在香港，我們現在面臨財富分配不均的困境。從1950至70年代，清貧家庭的兒童相信只要用功讀書，考入大學，努力工作，發展事業，儲蓄金錢，審慎投資......就會有美滿的生活。那確是事實，而且是行得通的！

可惜現在情況有點不同了。香港的製造業已經遷往中國大陸，房地產市場持續攀升，人口貧富兩極化的現象在本地發生。擁有大學學位不一定能找到好職位，勤奮工作不一定能成功。雖然我們的年輕人竭盡所能，但美滿生活和燦爛前程卻是渺茫的希望，年輕人的工資大部分用來供樓或交租。中學或副學士畢業生的前途更黯淡，他們許多人的收入僅夠餬口，連起碼合理的生活都求之不得。挫折帶來失望，並逐漸轉化成社會的怒火。

我最近和一批年輕人談過，了解到過去幾年年輕一代的價值觀和夢想有所轉變。面對他們認為的「社會不公」，在香港想擁有自己的屋子、儲蓄、生兒育女，對他們來說似乎是遙不可及的事情。「一分耕耘一分收穫」有了新的意義。他們轉而追尋其他目標：平靜而非充滿挑戰的生活；資源平均分配和保護弱勢群體（老人、農民、低技術工人）；關注本地事務而非放眼天下，而最重要的是公平（不論它的意義是甚麼）。

今天，我們的政府嘗試處理這個問題。興建更多資助房屋很重要，但大概還不足夠。為年輕企業家設立創業基金，或許能幫到一些人，但大多數人仍是無法受惠。鼓勵年輕人到香港以外的地方工作，被視為遺棄他們。

我嘗試了解年輕人的憤怒。我希望社會也能聆聽和了解他們。他們需要公共政策和措施，令他們對未來重燃希望。社會必須明白，我們的年輕人為何憤怒了。

樂善堂余近卿中學陳曉瑩：從茶葉蛋看人生

樂善堂余近卿中學陳曉瑩：從茶葉蛋看人生

小時候，媽媽經常弄茶葉蛋給我吃。可是，當我看到茶葉蛋上那些黑色的裂痕時，便會抱怨地說：「媽媽，你弄的那些茶葉蛋很髒！我不吃！」這時，媽媽便說：「你先嘗嘗吧！也許你會喜歡上茶葉蛋呢！」於是我不情願地吃了一口。吃第一口時，茶葉蛋的味道就好像苦瓜一樣苦澀，正當我打算把它吐出來時，我忽然嘗到一絲絲的甜味，甜得就像糖果般，不知不覺，我就把茶葉蛋吃光了。

樂善堂余近卿中學的老師經常跟我們說：每個人的人生都不完美的，就像滿布裂痕的茶葉蛋般會有缺口，但若不是因為茶葉蛋有缺口，香濃的調味和茶香就不能滲透其中，令茶葉蛋更香更入味,有些人遇到挫折時，就只懂怨天尤人，責怪這個不好，抱怨那個不是，總覺得老天不公平。

就像樂善堂余近卿中學也是經常給很多家長問答，余近卿中學好唔好？余近卿中學band幾？要是小孩升中選校的時候，選擇這個學校怎麼樣？人生就選茶葉一樣，很多疑問，很多顧慮。

但如果人生不曾出現過如茶葉蛋般的裂痕，試問又怎樣使人學懂從挫折中一步一步地爬起來，一步一步地學懂獨立、成長，並且嘗到如茶葉蛋般濃郁的味兒呢！


也有些人不喜歡、甚至害怕挫敗，於是天天求神拜佛，祈求神的眷顧，只求一生順利，這根本不是一個真正有效的方法。與其事事都依靠神的眷顧，倒不如順其自然地讓逆境慢慢降臨就好了。正如茶葉蛋一樣，在烹調茶葉蛋之前，必須輕輕把蛋敲出裂痕，這才會讓蛋吸收茶葉的味道，因此茶葉蛋上的裂痕也是在所難免的。雖然裂痕不好看，但卻使味道變得更濃。既然阻止不了逆境的來臨，那就改變自己面對逆境的態度吧！

相反，有些人即使面前的困難十分嚴峻，他們都會用樂觀的態度面對，並且找出挫敗的原因，然後努力地改善。為什麼這些人不怕挫折？因為他們都有自己的夢想，為了實現自己的夢想，他們不怕受挫，與逆境共存。最重要的是他們喜歡苦盡甘來的感覺，就好像茶葉蛋的味道一樣，入口時帶點苦澀，但只要在口內慢慢咀嚼，便會嘗到那種茶葉與蛋混合的味道，那是多麼的可口、獨特。

逆境和順境都是人生必經的部分，就好像茶葉蛋一樣，身上必須要有一條條難看的裂痕，才會嘗到當中那種苦盡甘來的美味。人生就是這樣有起有落，並不完美，就是因為有逆境，才令我們更加珍惜人生。

人生祸福相依

人生祸福相依，笑泪交织，得到不必太喜，拥有一些，必然会放弃另一些；失去的无须过悲，没有什么可以永久地停留；不要以事业的成败、收入的多寡来定义人生的幸福，它们只是一种附庸，与幸福的内涵没有必然的联系。只要凡事抱以平常之心，不抱怨，不嫉恨，不懈怠，不颓废，不冷漠，人生才有幸福可言。

失敗不過是練習

贏家不說教，而是說服。贏家能清楚表達自己的原則，並親切地邀請你加入，但那是你自己的選擇。當然，是他們帶領你，但最終你會自己決定認同他們的觀點。贏家不會只看個別的競賽、產品或演出，他們懂得堅持，知道如何保持長期成功。

升中考即場朗讀文章

在剛過去的農曆新年假期，Elsie一家參加了數個團拜活動，席中有些親友的子女是小六學生，即將參加官津中學的升中自行分配學位面試，所以團拜時的話題，都離不開以往聽過的面試題目，實行互相交換面試情報和心得。然而，綜合連日來聽過的題目，Elsie發現各校的面試模式和內容，都大同小異，其中傳統名校會特別注重申請人的語文能力。此外，申請人的想法，包括分析能力、創意、對時事的認識等等，亦是考核重點之一，所以家長和子女準備面試時，不妨集中在語文和時事，而朗讀報紙和討論新聞，相信都會有所幫助。

　　現時，大部分官津學校在自行收生階段中，都設有中、英文面試，不少英中更會請申請人朗讀英文篇章，並就有關文章發問，例如對文中的觀點有甚麼看法？或問申請人是否有類似經驗等。過程中，老師會留意申請人的發音、閱讀及理解英語的能力。

　　此外，亦有英中會請申請人以英語描述圖畫的內容或創作故事。好友Rachel的兒子就讀於狀元搖籃皇仁書院，她同Elsie講，兒子在面試時，老師就要求他以英語描述圖畫的內容。「兒子當時要描述一條熱鬧的街道，老師請他描述圖中有甚麼。」另外，位於葵青區的中華傳道會安柱中學，也曾有類似的面試題目。

　　至於中文面試部分，範圍就比較闊，從申請人的家庭和學習生活，到社會議題、數理題、甚至處境題也有，其中以普通話教授中文的中學，更有可能設普通話題。Elsie早前和沙田蘇浙公學校長陳漢齡傾過，該校有中、英文面試，並分個人面試和小組討論部分。

　　陳校長跟Elsie說，該校重視學生的中、英文能力，所以在面試時，會請申請人閱讀中、英文短文，每篇約百多字，都是改篇自時事新聞的文章，然後會問申請人兩條相關問題，以考核其閱讀理解能力。「第一條題目，可在文章找到答案；第二條問題，是開放式的題目，能讓申請人有較大的發揮。」

　　此外，面試又會有數理題，要求申請人作推論和運算，當中一樣有中、英文題。「同樣有兩條題目，都跟日常生活有關，好像假設申請人有二十元，請他根據題目指示，怎樣可用二十元，買到最多的東西。」他補充，申請人不能只說出答案就可以，最重要是解釋，說出怎樣推論出答案。

　　在小組討論方面，陳校長指，內容亦很生活化，但申請人要懂得從不同角度去分析事物。「以往曾有些跟旅遊有關的題目，做法是給予幾位申請人一些背景資料，然後請他們討論，假如只得一天假期，他們會選擇到香港哪個旅遊景點？此外，又試過請同學討論，如果增加多一日公眾假期，會增加甚麼假期等。」

　　聽陳校長講，為了讓申請的同學了解該校的面試模式，該校早年已設「模擬面試日」，讓在自行收生階段報讀該校的小六學生參加，同時教他們面試技巧；希望大家在面試時，可以有較佳的發揮，以及在公平的情況下迎接面試。「有些家長無時間教子女如何準備面試，使有些優秀的學生也發揮不到，我想他們在同一個起跑上。」

　　既然沙田蘇浙公學設「模擬面試日」，Elsie就要請教陳校長有甚麼面試貼士，他認為，有禮貌和主動是最重要。「好像在小組討論，如果遲遲不發言，就會被其他人說了自己的論點，變成重覆了其他人的說話。」但陳校長補充，如真的遇上這情況，可以採用總結的方式，總括正、反雙方的說話，最後加上自己的意見來作總結。

　　此外，他建議同學們平日要多閱讀，並要多跟人討論，多聽多講，訓練自己的表達能力。「面試時，很多人都說自己有閱讀，但說來說去，只得一本Harry Potter，要他們講多一本都沒有，發揮不了。」

　　Elsie很同意陳校長的看法，事實上，不少學校都會鼓勵學生多閱讀，藉此提升學生的語文能力。然而，即使不是為面試，對個人修養而言，多閱讀也是百利而無一害；作為家長，也應多去鼓勵，不要讓子女沉迷於平板電腦的世界才好。
