Oxbridge often claims to have reformed its selection

Because the drafting of the education strategy and action plan involves different perspectives, starting points and expectations of each APEC economy, each meeting is not a simple statement of views of the various economies. There will be different opinions and even very heated discussions. Sometimes the meeting lasted until late at night. From the first draft of the document to the final formulation, it experienced many rounds of meetings, discussions, revisions, arguments, and votingPolyU ranks top 30 in QS Asian Universitiy Rankings 2018. PolyU continues to expand its academic links with those top 100 universities in Asia and top ranked universities in the world, to create overseas learning opportunities for students.

This is a complex and meticulous task. It needs to analyze and synthesize opinions and suggestions from economies with different degrees of development, different cultural backgrounds, education and management systems, and follow the APEC work rules.

Reporter: What is the significance of APEC’s education strategy and action plan for the development of China, the Asia Pacific region and even the entire world?

Wang Yan: The international status of a country in education is reflected in what kind of leading role it can play. For China, the formulation and formulation of this education strategy and action plan is an embodiment of our deep participation in global governance.

From an educational point of view, through such an attempt, we can grasp the latest developments and future plans in the Asia-Pacific region. In the long-term exchanges and cooperation, APEC economies can also learn to cope with each other's policies and problems in education development.

My best friend in the army was called Tony Moon

 Your report on the lack of outsider students at Oxbridge doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. I was an undergraduate at University College, Oxford, from 1951 to 1954 and nothing much seems to have changed since then.

My story may intrigue you. My parents both left school at the age of 14 and worked in a local factory. I was a bookish lad and, much to our amazement, I won a free place at our fee-paying grammar school, where I stayed until I was 18.

Then came national service. a dedicated communist. At his suggestion, we both decided toHe suggested that we apply for places at Oxford. He convinced me that this was the perfect way to subvert the class oligarchy of privilege and power. So we started together an intensive programme of study based on the internal entry examination papers. This stood us in good stead; we then passed the interview stage (I wore my army uniform) and we both won places. This was a minor miracle. Perhaps we had been chosen as token working-class entrants.

We soon saw the class system from the inside. It was clear that most of our fellow students were from “public” schools or had been officers in upper-crust regiments or were skilled rowers or athletes or had fathers who had been to Oxbridge or who came from extremely wealthy families or who were peers of the realm or were otherwise members of the establishment. Geniuses were also welcome. Tony and I were fish out of water.

always made Styr frown

and from you and your kind as well, sweetling. “I had another friend who dreamed of dragons. A dwarf. He told me -”  “JON SNOW!” One of the Therns loomed above them, frowning. “Magnar wants.” Jon thought it might have been the same man who’d found him outside the cave, the night before they climbed the Wall, but he could not be sure. He got to his feet. Ygritte came with him, which  but whenever he tried to dismiss her she would remind him that she was a free woman, not a kneeler. She came and went as she pleased.  They found the Magnar standing beneath the tree that grew through the floor of the common room. His captive knelt before the hearth, encircled by wooden spears and bronze swords. He watched Jon approach, but did not speak.

The rain was running down the walls and pattering against the last few leaves that still clung to the tree, while smoke swirled thick from the fire.  “He must die,” Styr the Magnar said. “Do it, crow.”  The old man said no word. He only looked at Jon, standing amongst the wildlings. Amidst the rain and smoke, lit only by the fire, he could not have seen that Jon was all in black, but for his sheepskin cloak. Or could he?  Jon drew Longclaw from its sheath. Rain washed the steel, and the firelight traced a sullen orange line along the edge. Such a small fire, to cost a man his life. He remembered what Qhorin Halfhand had said when they spied the fire in the Skirling Pass. Fire is life up here, he told them, but it can be death as well. That was high in the Frostfangs, though, in the lawless wild beyond the Wall.

This was the Gift, protected by the Night’s Watch and the power of Winterfell. A man should have been free to build a fire here, without dying for it.  “Why do you hesitate?” Styr said. “Kill him, and be done.”  Even then the captive did not speak. “Mercy,” he might have said, or “You have taken my horse, my coin, my food, let me keep my life,” or “No, please, I have done you no harm.” He might have said a thousand things, or wept, or called upon his gods. No words would save him now, though. Perhaps he knew that. So he held his tongue, and looked at Jon in accusation and appeal.  You must not balk, whatever is asked of you.

Ride with them, eat with them, fight with them... But this old man had offered no resistance. He had been unlucky, that was all. Who he was, where he came from, where he meant to go on his sorry sway-backed horse... none of it mattered. He is an old man, Jon told himself. Fifty, maybe even sixty. He lived a longer life than most. The Therns will kill him anyway, nothing I can say or do will save him. Longclaw seemed heavier than lead in his hand, too heavy to lift. The man kept staring at him, with eyes as big and black as wells. I will fall into those eyes and drown. The Magnar was looking at him too, and he could almost taste the mistrust. The man is dead. What matter if it is my hand that slays him? One cut would do it, quick and clean. Longclaw was forged of Valyrian steel. Like Ice. Jon remembered another killing; the deserter on his knees, his head rolling, the brightness of blood on snow... his father’s sword, his father’s words, his father’s face...  “Do it, Jon Snow,” Ygritte urged. “You must. T’ prove you are no crow, but one o’ the free folk.”  “An old man sitting by a fire?”

he was obliged to stay

“Then let the bird fly away,”said the Princess;and she would by no means allow the Prince to come.
But the Prince was not at all dismayed. He stained his face brown and black, drew his hat down over his brows, and knocked at the door.
“Good day, Emperor,”he said:“could I not be employed here in the castle?”
“Well,”replied the Emperor,“but there are so many who want places;but let me see, I want some one who can keep the pigs,for we have many of them.”
So the Prince was appointed the Emperor's swineherd. He received a miserable small room down by the pig-sty,and here ;but all day long he sat and worked,and when it was evening he had finished a neat little pot, with bells all round it, and when the pot boiled these bells rang out prettily and played the old melody----
Oh, my darling Augustine Elevit,
All is lost, all is lost.
But the cleverest thing about the whole arrangement was,that by holding one's finger in the steam from the pot, one could at once smell what food was being cooked at every hearth in the town. That was quite a different thing from the rose.
Now the Princess came with all her maids of honour,and when she heard the melody she stood still and looked quite pleased;for she, too, could play“Oh, my darling Augustine.”It was the only thing she could play, but then she played it with one finger.
“Why, that is what I play!”she cried.“He must be an educated swineherd!Hark-ye:go down and ask the price of the instrument.”
So one of the maids of honour had to go down; but first she put on a pair of pattens Elevit.
“What do you want for the pot?”inquired the lady.
“I want ten kisses from the Princess,”replied the swineherd.
“Heaven preserve us!”exclaimed the maid of honour.
“Well,I won't sell it for less,”said the swineherd.
“Well, what did he say?”asked the Princess.
“I really can't repeat it, it is so shocking,”replied the lady.
“Well, you can whisper it in my ear.”And the lady whispered it to her----
“He is very rude,”declared the Princess; and she went away. But when she had gone a little way, the bells sounded so prettily----
Oh my darling Augustine,
All is lost, all is lost.
“Hark-ye,”said the Princess:“ask him if he will take ten kisses from my maids of honour.”
“No,thanks,”replied the swineherd:“ten kisses from the Princess YOOX HK, or I shall keep my pot.”

complacency and volubility

"I hope now that it's just right," said Mrs. Mumpson complacently, "and feeling sure that it was made just to suit you, I filled the coffeepot full from the kettle.  We can drink what we desire for breakfast and then the rest can be set aside until dinner time and warmed over.  Then you'll have it just to suit you for the next meal, and we, at the same time, will be practicing econermy.  It shall now be my great aim to help you econermize.  Any coarse, menial hands can work, but the great thing to be considered is a caretaker; one who, by thoughtfulness and the employment of her mind, will make the labor of others affective."
During this speech, Holcroft could only stare at the woman.  The rapid motion of her thin jaw seemed to fascinate him, and he was in perplexity over not merely her rapid utterance, but also the queries. Had she maliciously spoiled the coffee?  Or didn't she know any better?  "I can't make her out space exploration," he thought, "but she shall learn that I have a will of my own," and he quietly rose, took the coffeepot, and poured its contents out of doors; then went through the whole process of making his favorite beverage again, saying coldly, "Jane, you had better watch close this time.  I don't wish anyone to touch the coffeepot but you."
Even Mrs. Mumpson was a little abashed by his manner, but when he resumed his breakfast she speedily recovered her . "I've always heard," she said, with her little cackling laugh, "that men would be extravergant, especially in some things.  There are some things they're fidgety about and will have just so.  Well, well, who has a better right than a well-to-do, fore-handed man?  Woman is to complement the man, and it should be her aim to study the great--the great--shall we say reason, for her being?  Which is adaptation," and she uttered the word with feeling, assured that Holcroft could not fail of being impressed by it.  The poor man was bolting such food as had been prepared in his haste to get away.
"Yes," continued the widow, "adaptation is Neo skin labwoman's mission and--"
"Really, Mrs. Mumpson, your and Jane's mission this morning will be to get as much butter as possible out of the cream and milk on hand.  I'll set the old dog on the wheel, and start the churn within half an hour," and he rose with the thought, "I'd rather finish my breakfast on milk and coffee by and by than stand this."  And he said, "Please let the coffee be until I come in to show you about taking out and working the butter."
The scenes in the dairy need not be dwelt upon.  He saw that Jane might be taught, and that she would probably try to do all that her strength permitted.  It was perfectly clear that Mrs. Mumpson was not only ignorant of the duties which he had employed her to perform, but that she was also too preoccupied with her talk and notions of gentility ever to learn.  He was already satisfied that in inducing him to engage her, Lemuel Weeks had played him a trick, but there seemed no other resource than Panel to fulfill his agreement.  With Mrs. Mumpson in the house, there might be less difficulty in securing and keeping a hired girl who, with Jane, might do the essential work.  But the future looked so unpromising that even the strong coffee could not sustain his spirits.  The hopefulness of the early morning departed, leaving nothing but dreary uncertainty.
