ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is a great opportunity for me to express my sincere gratitude and respect for those who have helped me with my thesis. First and foremost, I would like to give my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Prof.Guo,for his constant guidance and encouragement in writing this paper. He helped me choose the topic, told me how to make an investigation and taught mehow to write a successful paper. He revised my draft patiently and carefully. Without his patient help and precious suggestions, this paper could not have been accomplished punctually. I give my gratefulness to all the teachers in our English Department, who have helped me a lot in my two years study here. They play a very important part in my knowledge accumulation. I also give my thanks to my friends, who have offered me a lot of valuable suggestions and a great deal of related information in the process of preparing my paper. Without the help of any of them, my paper could not have been completed effectively. Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks again to all of them who helped me and encouraged me when I faced up with many difficulties in the course of composing my paper.
