Dear editor,

I’m a college student and I’ll graduating in half a year. I’m very worried about my future, because find a good job is so much difficult. At the moment, my parents want me to be a teacher, and I don’t like that idea. During my holiday break, I work part-time as a tour guide in my hometown. I liked job very much. But my parents didn’t agree with me. They thought the work was difficulty, even though one could make a lot of money. That is the most important to me is that being a tour guide won’t take me far from home. I always consider what my parents say, but it’s hard for me to take a decision . Could you give me some advices?     

                                                                 Yours

                                                                 Oliver

LAST week's decision by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to strip Pluto(冥王星) of its planetary status, held since its discovery in 1930, has saddened those with a strong love of it.

"Pluto, once the smallest of the Nine Great Planets” writes American science writer Dava Sobel, in her book "The Planets", " is still loved by people, old and young."

Many people felt sorry about Pluto's demotion(降级).

"I just cannot accept this at this time," says Liu Ming, 29, who co-runs a small logistic(物流)company an Shanghai.

"I was taught that 'the Nine Great Planets' formed our solar system since primary school. And now they suddenly decrease the planets to eight. This will take some time for most of us to absorb it," says Liu.

Ordinary people simply feel nostalgic(怀旧), but for some professionals, especially planetarium (天文馆)curators(博物馆馆长)and educators, the change has become a real headache.

The "eight instead of nine" change will affect thousands of planetariums around the world. Schools will also be greatly affected.

In China, teachers are anxious as outdated textbooks are printed and released to the remotest corner of the country for schoolchildren ready to start a new term soon.

According to the Ministry of Education, new textbooks with modified(修正的) contents will not be available until next year.

Zhao Zhiheng, a member of the Astronomy Association from Tianjin, suggested that primary and middle school teachers be trained in the revised knowledge, and that the media carry more stories to let people know about the change as soon as possible.
