篇一:Three types of parents

  It is universally true that all parents in the world love their children .However , as parents' views of life vary ,they show their love in different ways .Generally speaking ,parents can be classified into three types,the monarch type , the servant type, and the friend type according to their different ways of showing their love for their children .

  The monarch type of parents are intolerant , antocratic, and selfcentered .They lay down regulations in the family for their children to observe .Furthermore, they insist that their children should act upon them without question . When their authority is challenged ,they become infuriated. With a firm belief in their own philosophy of life ,they hvave litter respect for others' opinions, least of all, their children's. The sentence they say most frequently to their children is, "You should do this."

  Contrary to the monarch-type parents, the servant-type parents revolve around their children all the time . they are soft ,good-nature ,and easy-going. They never deny their children any wish ,and cheerful run to buy anything their children ask for .They are happy so long as their children are content .With the sincere belief that love means sacrifice, they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake .With their children at the center of their lives , they always ask" what else can we do for you?"

  The friends-type parents ,as the term implies, treat their children as friends .They are generous and wise.Like good friends ,they disscuss with their children the lastest news,share their children's interests,and listen attentively to their children's expression of emotion ,whether it is anger ,fear ,joy or sorrow.They have an intimate relationship with their children while adhering to their prinicipled stand. They discuss problems with their children rather than provide ready solutions.They respect their children as their equals. They often say ,"Let's put our heads toghter and see wihat we can do"

  There is no doubt that children welcome the third type of parents, for a free, friendly ,and sympathetic atomosphere at home is most favorable to the development of youngsters both in body and in mind .All parents should re-examine and change some of their ways of showing their love if they want their children to grow up happily and healthily.

篇二:Competition

  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.Yet, on the other hand, competition breeze a pragmatic attitude.People choose to learn things that are useful,and do things that are profitable.Todays' college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism. Many college students choose business nor computing programming as their majors convinced that this professions are where the big money is.

  It is not unusual to see the college students taking a part time jobs as a warming up for the real battle.I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving licence to get a licence. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense, students do have reasons to be practical.

  However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if your utilitarianism is prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation of students' minds,or nurturing of their soul. We will see university is training out well trained spiritless working machines.

  If utilitarianism prevails society, we will see people bond by mind-forged medicals lost in the money-making ventures;we will see humality lossing their grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous.I'd like to think society as a courage and people persumed for profit or fame as a horese that pulls the courage.

  Yet without the driver picking direction the courage would go straight and may even end out in a precarious situation .A certificate may give you some advantage, but broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrities ,these are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way.In today's world, whether highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise , but vision and strategy. Your intellectual quality largely determinds how far you can go in your career.

篇三:Chinese Undergraduates in the US

  Each year, elite American universities and liberal arts colleges, such as Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Amherst and Wellesley, offer a number of scholarships to Chinese high school graduates to study in their undergraduate programs. Four years ago, I received such a scholarship from Yale.

  What are these Chinese undergrads like? Most come from middle-class families in the big urban centers of China. The geographical distribution is highly skewed, with Shanghai and Beijing heavily over-represented. Outside the main pool, a number of Yale students come from Changsha and Ningbo,swhereseach year American Yale graduates are sent to teach English.

  The overwhelming majority of Chinese undergraduates in the US major in science, engineering or economics. Many were academic superstars in their high schools - gold medallists in international academic Olympiads or prize winners in national academic contests. Once on US campuses, many of them decide to make research a lifelong commitment.

  Life outside the classroom constitutes an important part of college life. At American universities the average student spends less than thirteen hours a week in class. Many Chinese students use their spare time to pick up some extra pocket money. At Yale, one of the most common campus jobs is washing dishes in the dining halls. Virtually all Chinese undergraduates at Yale work part-time in the dining halls at some point in their college years. As they grow in age and sophistication, they upgrade to better-paying and less stressful positions.

  The more popular and interesting jobs include working as a computer assistant, math homework grader, investment office assistant and lab or research assistant. The latter three often lead to stimulating summer jobs.

  Student activities are another prominent feature of American college life. Each week there are countless student-organized events of all sorts - athletic, artistic, cultural, political or social (i.e. just for fun). New student organizations are constantly being created, and Chinese undergrads contribute to this ferment. Sport looms much larger on US campuses than in China. At Yale, intramural sports from soccer to water polo take place all year long; hence athletic talent is a real social asset.

  One of the Chinese students at Yale several years ago was a versatile sportsman. His athletic talents and enthusiastic participation in sporting events, combined with his other fine qualities, made him a popular figure in his residential college.
