It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels. This is exciting.
People choose to learn things that are useful,and do things that are profitable. Today's college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism (功利主义) .Many college students choose business or computing programming as their majors,1 .
It is not unusual to see the college students taking a parttime job as a warmingup for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests,working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving lessons to get a license. Well,I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense,2 .
However,we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine,if students' utilitarianism prevails on campus,living no space for the cultivation of their minds,or nurturing of their soul,3 . If utilitarianism prevails in society,we will see people bound by mindforged manacles (手铐) lost in the moneymaking ventures;we will see humility losing their grace and dignity,and that would be disastrous.
I'd like to think society as a carriage and people pursue for profit or fame as a horse that pulls the carriage. Yet without the driver picking direction,4 . A certificate may give you some advantage,but broad horizons,positive attitudes and personal integrities are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way.
In today's world,the highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise,but vision and strategy. 5
A. convinced that these professions are where the big money is
B. the students will go in the opposite way and be trapped in dilemma
C. We will find university is a place where competition is much more fierce.
D. we will see university is training out welltrained spiritless working machines
E. Your intellectual quality as well as personality traits largely determines how far you can go in your career
F. the carriage would go straight and may even end up in a dangerous situation
G. students do have reasons to be practical 1, 2. 3. 4. 5.

I first heard this story a few years ago from a girl I met in New York. Probably the story is one of those mysterious folk belief that reappear every few years. However,I still like to think that it really does happen,somewhere and sometime.
Three girls and three boys were going to Fort Lauderdale,and when they were boarded the bus,they were carrying sandwiches and wine,dreamed of golden beaches. As the bus past by New Jersey,they began to notice Vingo. He sat in the front of them,dressed in an illfitting suit,his dust face masking his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lips,frozen into silence. Deeply into the night,the bus pulled at a restaurant,and everybody got off except that Vingo. He sat rooting in his seat,and the young people began to wonder about him.

I strongly believe that it is rather important to be a good listener. And although I have become a better listener than I was ten years ago,1 Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond. In some ways,the way we fail to listen is symbolic of the way we live. 2 It's almost like our goal is to have no time gaps between the conclusion of the sentences of the person we are speaking with and the beginning of our own. My wife and I were recently at a cafe having lunch,eavesdropping (偷听) on the conversations around us. 3 Instead they were taking turns not listening to one another. I asked my wife if I still did the same thing. With a smile on her face she said, "Only sometimes."Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more peaceful person.
4 If you think about it,you'll notice that it takes an enormous amount of energy and is very stressful to be sitting at the edge of your seat trying to guess what the person in front of you(or on the telephone) is going to say so that you can fire back your response. But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish,as you simply listen more singlemindedly to what is being said,you'll notice that the pressure you feel is off. You'll immediately feel more relaxed,and so will the people you are talking to. 5 Not only will becoming a better listener make you a more patient person,it will also enhance the quality of your relationships. Everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.
A. Communication begins with good listening skills.
B. It takes pressure from you.
C. We often treat communication as if it were a race.
D. It seemed that no one was really listening to one another.
E. I have to admit I'm still only an adequate listener.
F. They will feel safe in slowing down their own responses because they won't feel in competition with you for "air time"！
G. Everyone has different ways of listening and expressing themselves.

In many countries,it has long been a tradition to hold a annual tree or forest festival. The origin of such celebrations date back to ancient times. However,Arbor Day,as it is common known today,is of American origin and evolved from conditions peculiar to the Great Plains. It was first observed at Nebraska in 1872. The idea was created by J. S. Morton,a member of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture,one of the country's forest conservation organization. It was a move to promote replanting,and to plant up treeless areas. The idea has spreaded widely to other lands which it is variously celebrated the "Festival of Trees"―" Greening Week" in Japan, "The New Year's Days of Trees" in Israel, "The Treeloving Week" in Korea, "The Students' Planting Day" in Iceland or "The National Festival of Tree Planting" in India. Arbor Day in their various forms is now celebrated in more than fifty countries.

Can money buy happiness? There are many viewpoints among people. One of them holds a view that money is the source of happiness. They think money can buy something they want,such as delicious food,fashion clothes or luxurious cars,which can bring them lot of happiness. Just as proverb says "money makes the mare go". It means money is everything.
On the contrary,there are some people hold their opinion that money is the origin of evils,and many evils results from money,such as thieving,robbery and corruption. If all the people cannot seek for money improperly,the world will be in a mess.
So every coin has two sides. It is no denying that money is very useful. It can bring us comfortable life. Nevertheless,seek for it improperly,you'll produce disasters that result from money.
With a word,money itself is innocent. If money can bring you happiness depends on how to apply it. You make good use of money,and money can bring happiness to you. Or elsemonev will bring von in catastrnnhe.

Sometimes,you'd better use pen and paper than open up your mouth to convey just the right emotion. Margaret Shepherd,author of The Art of Civilized Conversation,shares these proper occasions.
* Condolences (吊唁) At first,everything is a blur (模糊不清) for the bereaved (死者的亲友) so it's comforting to have notes to read later at their own pace. I For instance, "I know you're going to be busy with family right now,but in a few weeks,Fm going to call you so we can have coffee together."Then do it.
* 2 An apology is easier to put on paper―you're calmer and you can choose better words and take more care with what you say. Apologize very clearly and don't use weasel words (推诿词) like "I'm sorry if you were upset by me." 3
* Praises If you compliment people to their face,they often feel they should be modest,but a written note can be savored (品味) in private. For example, "I really appreciate your patience as I learn to stop drinking."
氺 4
A request to work on a campaign,help out a fundraiser―put them all on paper to avoid putting people on the spot.
* Thank You Most of us think we're covered if we've verbally thanked someone or sent an email,but if the person put effort into a gathering or a gift,you should put effort into making a thankyou note. I am strongly agreed that people should hand write a thankyou note for a hand cooked dinner rather than call the next day and talk about how fun it was. They just saw you the night before!5
A. And remember to use your pen instead of words always.
B. Finish with something appreciative,such as "Thanks for putting up with me."
C. Make an Offer
D. A Request for Help
E. Give them something to look forward to.
F. Apologies
G. And there isn't a person on earth who doesn't appreciate a thankyou note.

My parents were not at home,so I asked several friends to have the party. We played so happily that we forgot anything. Unluckily,I dropped a glass on accident. The glass,which was my father's favorite,was in piece and my heart was beating wild. When he came back,I was very fearful that I did not tell the truth. The cat took the blame for me. Although my father said nothing,but I could read his distrust. The next morning,after a sleepless night,I admitted for my father that it was my fault. I saw relief in his eyes when he smiling at me. From then,I never told lies and my honesty won me great trust from others.
