Bell at the 2011
Robert Holmes "Rob" Bell Jr. (born August 23, 1970) is an American author and pastor. Bell was the founder of
located in , which he pastored until 2012. Under his leadership Mars Hill was one of the fastest-growing churches in America. He is also the author of the
bestseller Love Wins and the writer and narrator of a series of spiritual
called . In 2011
named Bell on its list of the .
Bell is the son of Judge , who was nominated by
to the federal judiciary and publicly confirmed by the . Bell grew up in a traditional Christian environment.
After graduating from high school, Bell attended
in Illinois. While at Wheaton, he roomed with
of . With friends Dave Houk, Brian Erickson, Steve Huber and Chris Fall, he formed the indie rock band, "_ton bundle", which was reminiscent of bands such as
and . During this time _ton bundle wrote the song "Velvet Elvis", based upon the same
painting that he used in his first book, Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith. Wheaton College was also where Bell met his wife, Kristen. The band _ton bundle started to gain some local fame and was even asked to perform at large events, but when Bell was struck with viral meningitis these plans fell through.
Bell received his bachelor's degree in 1992 from Wheaton and taught water skiing in the summers at the college's Honey Rock Camp, making about thirty dollars a week. During this time, he offered to teach a Christian message to the camp counselors after no pastor could be found. He taught a message about rest and was later approached by several people, each of them telling him that he should pursue teaching as a career.
Bell moved to
to pursue this calling for teaching and received a
from . According to Bell, he never received good grades in preaching class because he always tried innovative ways to communicate his ideas. During his time at Fuller he was a youth intern at Lake Avenue Church. He did, however, occasionally attend Christian Assembly in , which led to him and his wife asking questions in the direction of how a new style of church would appear.
Between 1995 and 1997, Bell formed a band called
which released two CDs; the first was a self-titled disc and the second was titled Via De La Shekel. When asked what style of music they played, Bell would respond with "Northern Gospel!", which later became the name of a song on the second album. Even after Big Fil stopped performing, Bell continued with two more projects by the name of Uno Dos Tres Communications volume 1 and 2, both of which had a similar musical sound to Big Fil.
Bell and his wife moved from California to Grand Rapids to be close to family and on invitation to study under pastor . He handled many of the preaching duties for the Saturday Night service at Calvary Church. Bell announced that he would be branching out on his own to start a new kind of community and he would call it "Mars Hill" after the Greek site where the apostle Paul told a group, "For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you."
In February 1999, Bell founded , with the church originally meeting in a school gym in . Within a year the church was given a shopping mall in , and purchased the surrounding land. In July 2000 the 3,500 "grey chair" facility opened its doors. As of 2005, an estimated 11,000 people attend the two "gatherings" on Sundays at 9 and 11 AM.[] As of March 2011, Sunday attendance numbered between 8,000 and 10,000. His teachings at Mars Hill inspired the popular "Love Wins" bumper sticker, and the congregation freely distributes these stickers after services.
In order to maintain balance in his life, Bell maintained his Fridays as a personal sabbath, where he did not allow contact by electronic means, and had all pastoral duties transferred to other Mars Hill pastors.
In the January 2007 issue of the magazine <, Bell was named No. 10 in its list of "The 50 Most Influential Christians in America" as chosen by their readers and online visitors.[]
In June 2011, Bell was named by
as one of the "2011 ", the magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
On September 22, 2011 it was announced that Rob Bell is stepping down from the church he founded to pursue other areas to reach a broader audience. "Feeling the call from God to pursue a growing number of strategic opportunities, our founding pastor Rob Bell, has decided to leave Mars Hill in order to devote his full energy to sharing the message of God’s love with a broader audience."
Bell later said that his Love Wins had led to a fallout with the congregation and forced him on a "search for a more forgiving faith."
In July 2012 Bell held his first major event since leaving Mars Hill, speaking at the famous
night club in Los Angeles. Bell hosts conferences and workshops in Laguna Beach for "leaders, teachers, preachers, entrepreneurs, artists, pastors—anyone whose work involves creating something and then turning it loose in the world."
Bell is the featured speaker in
– a series of short films. The title of the video series, "NOOMA", is an English variation of the Greek word pneuma which means breath or spirit. All the videos feature the teachings of Bell accompanied by music written and sung by local independent artists with the exception of 's music being licensed for the NOOMA DVD Lump.
In August 2005,
published Bell's first book, Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith. Velvet Elvis is for people who are, in Bell's words, "fascinated with , but can't do the standard Christian package".[]
Bell's Everything is Spiritual national speaking tour launched on June 30, 2006, in , drawing sold-out crowds in cities across North America. The proceeds from ticket sales were used to support , an international non-profit organization dedicated to helping people escape the
caused by living without
Bell's second book, titled Sex God: Exploring the Endless Connections between Sexuality and Spirituality, was released in March 2007. In February and March 2007 Bell hosted a "Sex God" tour on six university campuses to promote his book. The tour functioned more as a time for engaging questions and conversation. Questions ranged from Old Testament codes to homosexuality to what should Christians do with the word "evangelical". Each night ended with the showing of NOOMA number 15 entitled "YOU".[]
In June 2007 Bell toured the United Kingdom and Ireland with a series called Calling All Peacemakers.
Bell launched another speaking tour on November 5, 2007, in Chicago. "The Gods Aren't Angry" again drew sold-out crowds in cities across North America. The subject matter was a narrative defense of
through faith and not works (sacrifice). Proceeds from this tour were used to support the Turame
program supporting the poor in Burundi, a mission supported by Bell's church.
Bell's 2009 project, Drops Like Stars, explores the links between creativity and suffering. Drops Like Stars was an international tour and a book, initially handwritten by Bell, with photographs. The title of the project comes from a young child's view of raindrops on a window at night. Rather than focusing on the conundrum of why an all-powerful God would allow suffering, Bell instead looks at the creativity, empathy, new connections, and growth that can spring from suffering. When asked in an interview how he had become interested in suffering, Bell replied that as a pastor he had been given a front row seat in the most poignant moment's of people's lives. At the same time he was doing lectures on creativity and realized, "There was a connection between these two halves of my life – all these connections between suffering and art-making."
In September 2013 Bell was interviewed by
television show. Bell's book, What We Talk About When We Talk About God, was also listed as the first recommended book that month in Oprah's "Book of the Month" club.
ABC television announced production of a new television drama, Stronger, co-written by Bell and , the executive producer of the television show . The show, based loosely on Bell's life and his unpublished novel-turned-pilot-script, would follow the life of Tom Stronger, a musician on a spiritual journey. Ultimately, Bell and Cuse were unable to get approval to shoot a pilot for Stronger.
Bell and Cuse have moved on to another project described as a "faith-inflected talk show" presented by Bell. Two tapings of the proposed show were filmed in September 2012 in a warehouse in Los Angeles' art district in order to put together a reel for network executives. At the time, they were referenced as either That One Show Rob Bell and Carlton Cuse Have Been Working On, or The September Shows for short. A trailer has since been produced using The Rob Bell Show as a title card. His first and second guest each night were
and James "Jame-o" Primbram, an .
In his writings, Bell says "I affirm the truth anywhere in any religious system, in any worldview. If it's true, it belongs to God." However, he acknowledges Scripture as the authoritative source of truth by which to compare all other truths in the Mars Hill Bible Church statement of narrative theology.
Bell says, "This is not just the same old message with new methods. We're rediscovering Christianity as an Eastern religion, as a way of life. Legal metaphors for faith don't deliver a way of life. We grew up in churches where people knew the nine verses why we don't speak in tongues, but had never experienced the overwhelming presence of God."
Bell's book Love Wins caused a major controversy within the
community. The controversy was the subject of a
cover story and a featured article in the . In the book, Bell states that "It's been clearly communicated to many that this belief (in hell as conscious, eternal torment) is a central truth of the Christian faith and to reject it is, in essence, to reject Jesus. This is misguided and toxic and ultimately subverts the contagious spread of Jesus' message of love, peace, forgiveness and joy that our world desperately needs to hear." In this book, Bell outlines a number of views of hell, including
(also known as ). Though he does not choose any one view as his own, he states "Whatever objections a person may have of [the universalist view], and there are many, one has to admit that it is fitting, proper, and Christian to long for it."
The book was criticized by numerous conservative evangelical figures (in particular, some
leaders), such as , , and , with Mohler saying that the book was "theologically disastrous" for not rejecting universalism. Other evangelicals, such as ,
and , defended Bell's views. Bell denies that he is a universalist and says that he does not embrace any particular view but argues that Christians should leave room for uncertainty on the matter. As
stated, Love Wins presents [Bell's] "case for living with mystery rather than demanding certitude." Some evangelicals argued that this "uncertainty" is incompatible with Scripture, while others say that the book is simply promoting overdue conversation about some traditional interpretations of Scripture. In the book, Bell also questions "evacuation theology" which has Christians focused on getting to heaven, instead of focusing on God's renewal and transformation of this world. Bell argues that Jesus (and the wider Jewish tradition of which he was a part) focused on God's ongoing restoration of this world, not getting individuals to heaven.
appearance in July 2012, Bell took a question from an audience member concerned about the church's acceptance of gay members. Said Bell, "Some people are gay, and you're our brothers and you're our sisters, and we love you. We love you... [Gay people] are passionate disciples of Jesus just like I'm trying to be, so let's all get together and try to do something about the truly big problems in our world." On March 17, 2013, in an interview at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Bell said, "I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it's a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man." "And I think the ship has sailed. This is the world we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are."
Bell has expressed frustration with the current state of conservative evangelicalism, calling it "a very narrow, politically intertwined, culturally ghettoized Evangelical subculture." He says that Evangelicals have "turned away lots of people" from the church by talking about God in ways that "don't actually shape people into more loving, compassionate people," adding that Evangelicals "have supported policies and ways of viewing the world that are actually destructive, and we've done it in the name of God and we need to repent."

paper-cutting, with a history of 2,000 years, can be dated back to the Sui
Dynasty, making Yangzhou one of the places where paper-cutting first became
In the Sui Dynasty, the people of Yangzhou would
cut colourful paper or silks and satins(缎子) to celebrate
festivals. It is said that Emperor Yang came to Yangzhou three times. In
winter, the flowers and trees in the garden become dry and weak. The Emperor
ordered the girl servants to cut fine silks and satins into flowers and leaves
and use them to decorate the trees and lakes, copying nicely the looks
of spring and summer. Since then, “colorful brocade cutting” (织锦缎) has become a popular art in Yangzhou.
In the Tang Dynasty, the paper-cutting industry
was highly developed and a large amount of high-quality paper was made as
presents to the Court(宫廷).

development, the people of Yangzhou became interested in wearing fine clothing,
especially embroidered clothing(刺绣). The embroidered designs was based on
paper-cuts. The most well-known of them was Bao Jun, a paper-cutting master. He
won a high reputation(名声) as Magic Scissors(剪刀)
for his wonderful cutting skills.
After the People’s Republic of China was started, the Chinese government accepted the importance of paper-cutting like many other
arts and skills. In 2007, China Paper-cuts Museum opened to the public in the
back garden of the Wangs’ Residence(住所), Yangzhou, greatly
helping the development of Yangzhou paper-cutting.

We can see walls everywhere in the world. But the Great Wall of China is the biggest of all. The Chinese call it The Ten-thousand-li Great Wall. It is in fact more than 6,000 kilometers long. It is 4～5 meters wide. In most places, five horses or ten men can walk side by side.　　When you visit the Great Wall, you can’t help wondering how the Chinese people were able to build such a great wall thousands of years ago.

country in the world has a flag. A flag is a piece of cloth with a picture or
pattern on it. The flag is a symbol that stands for the country. It is a custom
in many places
for people to fly or hang a flag. The flag tells something about the country
and its culture. This may be about its land, its history, or the things that
the people do there.
flags have patterns of stripes (条纹). The flag of Italy has a green stripe, a
white stripe and a red stripe. Each stripe tells something about Italy. The white stripe is symbol of Italy’s snowy mountains. Some flags show pictures. The
flag of Canada has a picture of a red maple(枫叶) leaf, which is a symbol of the maple
trees in Canada. The Mexican flag has both a pattern of stripes and a picture.
The picture shows an eagle eating a snake. This picture comes from a very old
Mexican story.
may also tell about a country’s past. The American flag is called the Stars and
Stripes. It has pattern of fifty stars and thirteen stripes. The fifty stars
are a symbol of the fifty states in the country, and the thirteen stripes are a
symbol of the country’s first thirteen colonies (殖民地).
a flag may be a symbol of a group, a school, or an event like the Olympics. The
flag of the Olympics shows five rings of different colors that connect. Each
ring is a symbol for a part of the world that joins in the Olympics. The Red
Cross is group that helps people who are in trouble. If a person sees the Red
Cross flag, which has a red cross against a white background, he knows he can
ask for help. People may fly a flag as a custom on a holiday. Children’s Day in
Japan is a holiday when the country wishes for children’s happiness. It is a
custom on this day to fly a flag with a picture of a fish.
Flags are also used as a
way to talk. A flag with patterns can be very helpful to people who do not
speak the same language. Sailors on ships use flags to talk to sailors on other
ships. They may not speak the same language, but they know what the patterns
mean. A flag with blue and white squares says “no.” A flag with five stripes
are blue, white, and red
says “yes.”

阅读理解 ；阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中选出最佳选项。Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.1. Americans often do something with dogs except_________.A. walking dogs
