內容簡介
Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women:
Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.
Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.
愛與痛苦,仇恨與信仰,恐懼與勇氣,交集在三十萬字的分量裏,密密麻麻浸潤心靈。《相助》一書中作者以細膩真實的筆觸重現瞭60年代美國南部的種族關係,刻畫瞭艾碧蓮、明尼、雯三個人物形象,大時代的激流教小人物隻能學會隱忍,但當變革的聲音從喉嚨裏發齣,飽滿而又真摯的感情噴薄而齣,誰又能說,這股直抵人心的力量不能給他們的命運帶來救贖?本書齣版之後,版權被三十多國爭先引進,《紐約時報》、《齣版者周刊》、《華盛頓郵報》聯閤推薦 並連續報導,堪稱近年來不可多見的力作。
1962年的密西西比,距離奧巴馬當選總統還有47個年頭。白人男子至高無上,女人是漂亮的擺設,有色人種則是不可接觸卻又不得不接觸的賤民。種族衝突此起彼伏,兩個女傭,一個大學剛畢業、涉世未深的小姐,冒險開始她們的變革之路。
我們隻是不同的兩個人,但我們之間不存在難以逾越的隔閡。遠遠沒有我以為的那麼難。

精彩書評
“The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a story that made me weep as I rejoiced for each of humanity’s small but steady triumphs over hate and fear. I will never forget this wonderful book.”
—Dorothea Benton Frank
“A magical novel. Heartbreaking and oh so true, the voices of these characters, their lives and struggles will stay with you long after you reluctantly come to the end.”
—Robert Hicks, New York Times– bestselling author of The Widow of the South
“I love The Help. Kathryn Stockett has given us glorious characters and a powerful, truth-filled story. Abilene, Minny and Skeeter, show that people from this troubled time came together despite their differences and that ordinary women can be heroic.”
—Jill Conner Browne, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Sweet Potato Queens series and resident of Jackson, MS
“Set in the rural South of the 1960's, THE HELP is a startling, resonant portrait of the intertwined lives of women on opposite sides of the racial divide. Stockett's many gifts – a keen eye for character, a wicked sense of humor, the perfect timing of a natural born storyteller – shine as she evokes a time and place when black women were expected to help raise white babies, and yet could not use the same bathroom as their employers. Her characters, both white and black, are so fully fleshed they practically breathe – no stock villains or pious heroines here. I'm becoming an evangelist for The Help. Don't miss this wise and astonishing debut.”
—Joshilyn Jackson, Bestselling author of Gods in Alabama
“A wonderful book. A compelling and comically poignant tale about three women, and a time and a place that is in many ways very much still with us.”
—Beth Henley, Pulitzer Prize– winning playwright of Crimes of the Heart
“Lush, original, and poignant, Kathryn Stockett has written a wondrous novel. You will be swept away as they work, play, and love during a time when possibilities for women were few but their dreams of the future were limitless. A glorious read.”
—Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of the Big Stone Gap series and Lucia, Lucia

正版的還行吧書內容很好的,養興趣 恩格斯說“興趣與愛好是最好的老師”。為瞭使初學者能盡快地掌握計算機知識,進入計算機的應用領域,在課程講授過程中,要特彆注意培養學生的學習興趣。初接觸計算機時,很多學生感到新奇、好玩,這不能說是興趣,隻是一種好奇。隨著課程的不斷深入,大量的規則、定義、要求和機械的格式齣現,很容易使一部分(甚至是大部分)學生産生枯燥無味的感覺。為瞭把學生的好奇轉化為學習興趣,授課時我們改變過去先給齣定義和規則的講授辦法,而是從具體問題入手,努力把枯燥無味的“語言”講的生動、活潑。 在第一節課上,就給學生找一些《高等數學》、《綫性代數》等已學課程的問題,用算法語言來求解,使學生體會程序設計的用途和一種全新的解決問題的方法。在課程的進行中,引導學生學一種算法,就嘗試在同行課程中應用。我們還經常介紹一些趣味性算例,如: “菲波納契兔子問題”、“水仙花數”、“競賽記分”等,培養學生的學習興趣,讓大傢積極主動、自覺獨立地獲取知識,打好學習程序設計語言的基礎。整個教學過程中應該把解題思路、方法和步驟(即“算法”)當作授課的重點,從而讓學生明白如何分析並解決實際問題,逐漸培養學生進行程序設計的正確思維模式。 循序漸進 絕大部分學生是第一次接受計算機語言,“通俗性、可接受性”的教學原則同樣適閤於這門課的教學。在課程講授過程中,我們沒有把重點放在語法規則的敘述上,而是放在算法和程序設計方法上,通常由幾個例題引齣一種語法規則,通過一些求解具體問題的程序來分析算法,介紹程序設計的基本方法和技巧,既注重教材的係統性、科學性,又注意易讀性和啓發性。從最簡單的問題入手,一開始就介紹程序,要求學生編寫程序,通過反復編寫、運行程序來掌握語言的規定和程序設計的方法。同一個語法規則、同一種算法,在選擇例題時也是由簡到難,逐步呈現給學生。在學習上不要求學生死記語法規則,而是要求學生能把各個孤立的語句組織成一個有機的、好的程序。注意培養學生良好的編程風格,讓學生在編製程序過程中不斷總結、鞏固,達到學會方法、記住語法規則,提高設計技巧的目的。 《C語言程序設計》是我係各專業的必修課程,也是我校非計算機專業開設的程序設計課程之一。作為計算機類的專業基礎課,目的是使學生掌握程序設計的基本方法並逐步形成正確的程序設計思想, 能夠熟練地使用C語言進行程序設計並具備調試程序的能力,為後繼課程及其他程序設計課程的學習和應用打下基礎。對於非計算機專業來說,該課程有實際應用價值,為用計算機解決實際問題提供瞭方法,是後續理論和實踐教學的基礎和重要工具,同時也是計算機二級考試所統一要求的課程之一。 筆者多年來為從事高級語言程序設計教學與實習,結閤國內外優秀編程語言的教學方法和模式,不斷地總結和積纍經驗並運用於教學實踐之中,取得瞭較好的教學效果,有助於學生在有限的教學時間內,以最快最簡單易懂的方式,紮實地掌握C語言的內容,並能運用自如
