STOP WORRYING NOW!

Worry is one of the most common forms of emotional distress in our culture. Almost everyone spends a considerable amount of present moments worrying about the future. And virtually all of it is for nothing. Obsessive worry will never make things any better. In fact, such worry will very likely help you to be less effective in dealing with the present.

Begin to view your present moments as time to live, rather than time to worry about the future. Act in direct conflict with your usual areas of worry. Enjoy life and don‘t waste the present with immobilizing thoughts about the future.

This is the way to minimize your worry in life. But the most effective weapon you have is your own determination to drive this neurotic behavior away from your life.

WHAT IS LOVE?

Love means that I care about the welfare of the person I love to the extent that it is genuine, my caring is not a smothering of the person or a possessive clinging. I‘m concerned about his growth and I hope he will become all that he can become, and never put up roadblocks to what he does that enhances him as a person.

Love means having respect for the dignity of the person I love. See him as a separate person, with his own values and thoughts and feelings, and I don‘t insist that he surrender his identity and conform to an image of what I expect him to be for me .I can allow and encourage him to stand alone and to be who he is, and I avoid treating him as an object or using him primarily to gratify my own needs.

In short, in love two beings become one and yet remain two

WHERE TO LIVE- IN THE CITY OR THE COUNTRY?

A modern city has many conveniences such as electricity, gas, schools, hospitals, cinemas, etc. These conveniences make the city people‘s life comfortable and easy. But in big cities, there are crimes, air pollution, and crowdedness, which often bother residents.

The countryside has its own attractions, such as clean air, water, and quiet environment. In addition to these,

WHERE TO LIVE- IN THE CITY OR THE COUNTRY?

The countryside has its own attractions, such as clean air, water, and quiet environment. In addition to these,

one can enjoy a peaceful life and beautiful natural scenery. There is no noise, no crowdedness and no crime. But some modern facilities are not available. For example, it may not be very convenient for a person to go to a middle school.

I prefer to live in a city because I was born and grew up there. The problems a city has can be solved by modern science and technology.

LEISURE AND QUALITY OF LIFE

It is true that people in advanced industrial societies are increasingly concerned with opportunities for leisure and what they can do in their leisure time. That is to say, we are attaching more importance to our ―quality of life‖. Generally speaking, the term‖ quality of life‖ covers a very wide scope such as living environment, health, employment, food, family life, friends, education, material possessions, leisure and recreation, and so on.

Since Leisure is so essential in our quality of life, we can speak highly of its functions as following: relaxation, recreation and entertainment, and personal development. But leisure is basically self-determined, so everyone is able to take to his own interests and preferences and get involved in an activity in ways that will bring enjoyment and satisfaction.

7-DAY HOLIDAY

A 7-day holiday came into effect on May Day last year, and it also went for National Day & Spring Festival, which seems to be good news to everyone.

However, this piece of good news also has a dark side. Owing to the large population, most people‘s travel experiences during the first 7-day holiday, though well planned in advance, turned sour; they couldn‘t book railway tickets; hotels were packed; tourist attractions were all full of people. No wonder that a flood of complaints followed the week – long holiday.

As the saying goes, ―All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.‖ Longer holidays are certainly desirable, but the government should see that related facilities of holiday activities are promptly adapted to the need.

社会热点话题（6）

WORK, LABOR & PLAY

A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job which society pays him to do, or he is a laborer if what the job society offers him is of no interest to himself; The antithesis to labor is play. When we play something, we enjoy what we are doing, & work stands between labor &play.

To a worker, play means the time he needs to relax to work more efficiently, therefore he is more likely to have little play time than too much; To the laborer, on the other hand, play means freedom from boring task, so that he thinks that the fewer hours he has to labor, & the more time he is free to play, the better.

Both workers & laborers need play, It‘s an essential element for our health & life, so let‘s enjoy play &be sound to make a successful living.

CHINA’S ENTRY INTO THE WTO

After 15 years of tedious negotiation, China finally accessed to the WTO in 2001.And will the accession affect our lives? Or what actions should we take to survive the challenges?

As is generally believed, China‘s entry into the WTO means that China now is one of the key players of the Game in the ―Earth Village‖

Many things remain to be done after the accession. First, we should study the ―game‖ rules seriously to avoid pitfalls; next, our efforts should be redoubled in developing our strengths and overcoming our weaknesses; Finally, everyone is supposed to make the best of his potential & take actions to cope with the challenges.

In short, China‘s entry into the WTO will certainly revitalize China‘s economy & benefit everyone who is well prepared.

GO! GO! GO! CHINA’S FOOTBALL！

Football is currently the No. 1 sport in the world. However, our Chinese team has experienced nothing from it but one failure after another for many years.

There are many reasons for our poor team First, football has never been popular in China; second, China is a developing country, & there are lots of things more important to do than play football; Third, football is the most popular game in Europe & South America & it has become a science, whereas our team is still groping in the dark. However, our football team has a bright future, & Chinese are getting more interested in football. Our women‘s team has set a good example for us. And china will be a football superpower sooner or later.

社会热点话题（9） why we work?

People work for a great many reasons. Self-interest in its broadest sense, including the interest of one‘s family & friends, is an underlying motivation of work in all societies. However, self-interest is not simply the accumulation of wealth. For instance, even in some primitive tribes, a desire for approval, a sense of duty, a wish to conform to custom also contributes to economic activity.

In other words, few activities seriously compete with work in providing basic life satisfaction. Work, in addition to its economic functions, structures time, provides a context in which to relate to other people, offers an escape from boredom, and sustains a sense of worth.

In conclusion, a man‘s work is a major social device for his identification as an adult.

WISE CHOICE—OLYMPOC 2008 BEIJING

July 13,2001 might not be a lucky day for the westerners. However, it was really favorable to all the Chinese since we were finally successful in hosting for Olympic 2008! And it was a wise choice from all the points of view. Since China is a big country, Olympic Beijing can surely spread Olympic Games to a much wider range and promote its spirit to a greater degree; And as an ancient nation with more than 5000 years‘ glorious history, China will enlarge the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures and promote the better understandings between. Chinese and other peoples; Last but not the least important, China, the only indisputably rapid developing nation, will no doubt offer the business establishments worldwide more chances to make beneficial investment.

WTO WILL CHANGE OUR LIFE

It is no doubt that the most heated argument for Chinese nowadays is WTO, and we are also quite sure that WTO will change our life in many aspects.

Firstly, New goods, new service and new consuming means will approach into China more quickly with the market opening— the direct benefit consumers‘ gain from WTO. Secondly, the coming of international companies will give a big push to China‘s human resources market, and a great many new occupations and new opportunities will be born.

Thirdly, WTO will not only benefit us but also give us a firm confinement, (在带给你实惠的同时，也成为一种刚性约束) So all our working, living and thinking styles should be changed accordingly .

However, all changes will not take place overnight, and we are ready for it.

HOST THE BEST OLYMPIC IN BEIJING

Hosting Beijing 2008 Olympics greatly boosts the national morale. Now, widespread concern has focused on how to make a green, high-tech & clean Olympiad.

First, Beijing Olympiad should be green. Since environmental pollution & desertification are notorious in China, much work remains to be done to drastically correct the situation; Next, we should modernize the infrastructure of Beijing, such as its traffic network, telecommunication system, sports facilities & service centers to provide the best service to all participants of the Games. Finally, efforts should be made to ban scandals & racial discrimination, which is invading every pore of our society.

In short, we are confident that Beijing 2008 Olympics will be a nice showcase of our environmental consciousness, rapid economic growth & clean morality.

HOW THE RICH GOT RICH---& YOU COULD TOO

There‘s a famous line about the very rich: they are different from you & me. And it turns out there are all kinds of rich people: short, tall, fat, skinny, good-looking, high IQ, not-so-high IQ, generous & tightfisted.

They often come from a modest background & rise to the top on pluck, luck & a clear idea of what they want, with every one of them having mastered the basic skills they needed to succeed in business. They live modestly, avoid publicity & work long hours even though they can pay the bills without lifting a finger. And these people are still doing whatever it was that led to their success.

So why not learn from them? Find sth you enjoy doing, give it everything you‘ve got, & the money will take care of itself. You‘ll be having too much fun at the office to stop working

CHEERS FOR CHINA!

11 Nov. 2001, Doha—the whole world has witnessed signing ceremony on China‘s accession to the WTO, and

all the people concerned gave their cheers for China! We may say that China‘s accession to the WTO is indeed the very symbol of China‘s return to the world economics stage as well as the acknowledgement of the whole world on China‘s achievement in the last 20 years‘ reforming and opening. It strengthened China‘s determination to carry on its reforming and opening and also gave a big push to promote the freedom on trade investment under the globalization of the world economics. In a word, China‘s position in the international affairs has been greatly improved /increased with it.

One more thing, all of us, another cheer for China!

To Save & protect

We used to have the foolish idea that the treasures of nature were ―limitless‖& ―inexhaustible‖.

In other words, we knew little about the complicated system that runs all through nature.which means, an unhealthy condition of one part will be harmful to all the others. Thus the earth has been warning us with continuous river floods & ever-increasing desertification.

For the sake of ourselves & those coming after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes in relation to unproper land use. That is to say, we are to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in good condition so that others may also share the enjoyment. In brief, it should be our goal to restore the original beauty of nature.

Media & Celebrities

One hundred years ago, people became famous for what they had achieved. Today‘s celebrities,however, often do not become known for any enduring(永久的) achievement, they are simply famous for being famous with the help of the media. They are distingnished by their image or trademark and they have nothing great but a big name. That is to say, the focus of public attention has begun to shift away from knowing what such people did to knowing what they looked like.

With the arrival of television, the faces of all kinds of celebrites became as familiar as those we saw across the breakfast table. We came to know more about the lives of our favorite celebrities than we did about most of the people we know personally, no matter they are movie stars, fashion models, professional athletes, and even cartoon characters.

In a word, celebrities are created by the media, and they are exactly like us except for the attention they get

from the media.

社会热点话题（17） Preserving Natural Resources

Ever since man appeared on the earth, man’s survival has been heavily relying on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate. However, natural resources are not inexhaustible.

Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the whole world would be in a mess.

Time is running out. It is up to us to take effective measures before the situation gets out of hand.

社会热点话题（18）

GLOBAL SHORTAGE OF FRESH WATER

People often think that water will never be used up. There is plenty of water, such as rain, water from the rivers and wells. In fact water is rather limited on the earth. With the rapid increase of population and fast development of industries, water is more needed than before. Some big cities in China are facing the problem of water shortage already.

What should we do about the water shortage?

I think, people should be made aware of the real situation about the water. And certain laws should be made that no water will be polluted. We have to protect the existing water resources and develop new ones. In this way I believe that our cities will not be thirsty for water in the future.

社会热点话题（19）

CARS AND AIR POLLUTION

Cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world. All the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere, causing disease and even death.

One possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. But it may take decades for the new models to completely replace the traditional ones.

Another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not drive private cars. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government and the public. This problem will be

solved only with the help of science and technology.

社会热点话题（20） PARENTS ARE TOO PERMISSIVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN NOWADAYS

There are countless articles on childcare in magazines and newspapers. With so much unsolicited advice flying about, mum and dad just don’t know what to do any more. In the end, they do nothing at all. So, from early childhood, the kids are in charge and parents’ lives are regulated according to the needs of their offspring.

When the little dears develop into teenagers, they take complete control. If the young people are going to have a party, for instance, parents are asked to leave the house. Their presence merely spoils the fun. What else can the poor parents do but obey?

But remember: children are hardy creatures and most of them survive the harmful influence of extreme permissiveness, so think about it, you poor parents!

ONLY STRICTER TRAFFIC LAWS CAN PREVENT ACCIDENTS

Though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we cites the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing.

Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly mutilated each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.

It is high time that world codes were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which is universally accepted could only have dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. So let’s work it out!

ADVANTAGES OF FIVE-DAY WEEK

A five-day week has been put into practice in China, which is welcomed by most people. It is obvious that a five-day week has brought about many advantages to the society and people. Firstly, families have benefited from it very much. They have more time to spend together or go for an outing during the weekend. Children are able to learn useful skills, women have enough time to take care of the house, go shopping or relax.

Secondly, society has also benefited from it. As people have two days off, they would like to go shopping or traveling, which can promote the commerce and tourism. Then the shops and travel agency will have more customers.

Thirdly individuals have also enjoyed the benefit from the five-day week, because they have more time for whatever they want to do during the weekend. For example, one likes stamp collection; he will have enough time to enjoy it. What’s more, individuals can make full use of a weekend for a good rest. Adequate rest will enable him to work more efficiently.

In a word, a five-day week is beneficial to the society, families and individuals.

PULLUTION

The world population is growing very fast. More food, clothing, houses are needed. Agriculture and industry, therefore, have to develop very quickly。Unfortunately; modem farming and industry are making the air, the soil, and the water dirty, which we called pollution.

Pollution is a serious danger to human lives. For example; throughout the world air pollution is serious in all cities. It is said that every year factories pour millions of tons of smoke into the air, and， air pollution has taken the lives of many people.

Scientists are now fighting a battle against pollution. So far, it has been successful. Of course, the battle cannot be won unless every one of us understands the danger of pollution and does something to stop it.

JOB PROBLEMS FOR GRADUATES

According to the statistics, only 58% of college graduates could find jobs in their specialties. Why do college graduates find it increasingly difficult to get a rewarding job?

One reason perhaps is that many colleges and universities fail to adapt their courses to the development of economy. Degree courses offered in these institutions of higher learning are so outdated, irrelevant and impractical that the students themselves find it hard to translate their book knowledge into real job skills. Second, there is an oversupply of graduates in certain specialties.

So many of them can not enter the professions for which they are trained. College graduates are valuable resources in our country. The problems they encounter in job hunting deserve more attention.

社会热点话题（25） POPULATION PROBLEMS

The population problem may be the greatest challenge of the present time. In other words， People are being born faster than they are dying, or they are dying at a slower rate than they are being born. The average life span has doubled in the last 50 years. That people live much longer results in the serious population problem.

People around the world are becoming more concerned about the population explosion. It is hoped that there can be some control over the number of people that are born, but population control is a subject which touches the moral & religious beliefs of many people. Even if many families have fewer children, there will still be problems of food, water & power supply.

社会热点话题（26）

ANTI-POLLUTION NEEDS YOUR EFFORTS

People today are beginning to hear more & more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by the release of artificial substances into the environment(人造物质的排放),or by increased amounts of natural substances, such as oil, from oil tankers into the sea.

Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger & more complex problem. Whatever its underlying reasons, it is no doubt that much of the pollution could be controlled if companies, individuals & governments would make more efforts. For instance, there is an obvious need to control litter & waste, which everyone can help to do by cutting out excess consumption & careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.

In a word, anti-pollution needs your efforts!

现代文化生活话题（1）

OBJECTIVE TEST AND SUBJECTIVE TEST

Some people think that objective items such as multiple choices should be used for an examination, for they contain the following advantages: they can be scored by a computer quickly, and the examinees can receive their scores within a few days. Above all, the multiple-choice test is objective indeed, namely, it is fair enough for everyone.

Other people don‘t agree, In their opinion, this kind of test has some bad effects on students‘ learning. For what the students need to do is to guess and tick, and this cannot help to develop their ability.

I think that one examination should be divided into two parts: subjective and objective. With the two combined together, better judgment on examinees ?capabilities will be made then.

现代文化生活话题（2）

CHANGES IN EDUCATION

It has been a long long time that employees have been hired for their degrees rather than their abilities. Employment, pay and often even promotions have depended on one‘s diploma. Now many employers are beginning to demand more than the completion of school. Namely, there‘s an urgent cry for performance and accountability.

As a result of this increasing demand, big changes in education have taken place. Indeed, the fastest growing industry today may be the continuing professional education of highly schooled adults. Much of it takes place outside the education establishment—through companies, government departments or management associations and trade associations.

Thus demand for education is going up, not down. What is going down, and fairly fast, is demand for traditional education in traditional schools. In a word, competition and choice are already beginning to infiltrate the school system.

现代文化生活话题（3）

EDUCATION ON INTERNET

A new era, namely, the knowledge society is upon us. So lifelong learning is expected to become the standard for many people. And it is this characteristic that makes the mission of education on Internet an essential part of all educational patterns.

Theoretically, all the people should and can be educated, but how to deal with the contradictions between high pressure on work & living and the need for lifelong education remains unsolved until the newly –established educational form has come into being. That is to say, education on Internet. It has five distinguished features of ―ANY‖: --ANYbody can choose ANY course and ANY chapters of the course for learning at ANY time ANYwhere.Thus it offers you the very freedom to be engaged in your work and enjoy learning.

Judging from all factors taken into account, we may safely reach the conclusion that education on Internet is there to form the lifelong educational system and provide more people with opportunities for higher education.

现代文化生活话题（4） THE HUMANISTIC FEATURE OF KNOWLEDGE ECONOMICS

Knowledge economics comes from the great increase of scientific knowledge. It is pushing human beings speedily towards the information society.

Firstly, knowledge economics is the very engine driving our society into the information age and calling forth the great productivity of knowledge.

Secondly, knowledge economics tends to make natural science and humanistic social science into unification. Both of them not only have formed a huge knowledge system, but also played an interactive part in each other‘s development.

Thirdly, knowledge economics has enlarged and increased human being‘s living sphere and living quality. And the research, development, production as well as creation on knowledge have become the common form in the society. Namely ,information production will be people‘s chief work.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH WRITING

English writing has become very important nowadays.

Scientists write their discoveries in English for publication, students write course papers in English to show what they have learned, & many people write English letters for various matters to overseas receivers. So English writing is necessary for us now.

There are several ways by which we can improve our writing in English. First, read more, no matter they are English newspapers, magazines, textbooks, & copy the useful sentences & phrases; Second, write more, we can either write to our friends or write articles to publish. Certainly we can keep a diary in English, too.

In short, so long as we keep on practicing, we will be able to improve our wrinting ability in English.

现代文化生活话题（6）

READING PROVIDES NECESSARY SURRIVAL SKILLS

With the coming of the television age & the increasing emphasis on pictures & sound in all quarters of our society, many people would have us believe that we are moving rapidly away from reading as a necessary life skill. But this is not the case

Good reading is a more important life skill than ever before & the printed word continues to be the cornerstone

of both higher education & better positions in the job market For students, almost all studying involves reading. For adults, reading is day to day, either a stumbling block or a smooth path to pleasure & opportunity. This is why good reading habits are not only an important study skill for the student, but also an important life skill for anyone.

现代文化生活话题（7）

WHY IS NATIVE LANGUAGE LEARNT SO WELL?

How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? The answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behavior of the people around him.

Let‘s focus on the latter one. Though a childs‖ teachers‖ may not have been trained in language teaching they take great pains to make their lessons easy & interesting, always repeating the same phrase & at the same time doing the thing they are talking about. They are greatly pleased at every little advance the child makes, Every awkward attempt meets with sympathy & encouragement, & the most difficult step on the path of language becomes the merriest game.

Unfortunately, teachers of language demand faultless accuracy from the beginning. By keeping their students working unnecessarily long at some little parts of the subject, they often weaken their interest in learning the language. So here I want to remind teachers of language: language will arrange itself in the brain without learning of too many special rules or the aid of elaborate explanations. That‘s the way language learning works.

现代文化生活话题（8）

The problems I have in My English study

I have many problems in my English study, to name just a few, they can be listed as following:

First, my vocabulary is rather small. As a result, I can neither read fast nor understand well, and it‘s really not easy for me to keep new words in mind; Second, I cannot write well. As I have always been engaged in sth having nothing to do with English, I seldom have any chance to write in English; third, my listening comprehension is not good enough, because I had little training at college.

To overcome these difficulties, I have worked out a plan. Namely, read one or two pages of English everyday, keep a diary in English & practice writing twice a week & listen to English tapes every two or three days. I believe that so long as I practice, I’ll be able to read, write & understand better.

现代文化生活话题（9） ENLARGING ENGLISH VOCABULARY

It is true that vocabulary is very important in English study. With a small vocabulary, we cannot understand well, neither can we express ourselves

There are several ways to enlarge one‘s vocabulary. First, read as much as possible, the more you read, the larger vocabulary you will have; Second, recite modal essays, which can help you memorize the words simultaneously; Third, Listen. You can listen to the radio or watch English programs on TV, and they not only help you keep new words in mind but also keep you in touch with the current news.

In my opinion, the best way is to read more: no matter they are English newspapers, magazines, or the textbooks. Why not have a try? It really works!

HOW TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW

In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the interviewee seeks to persuade the interviewer to employ him or her. Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant as preparation is made for the actual interview.

First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants & how that job relates to his career objective; Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company, such as its location, financial status, plans for expansion, company philosophy & so on; Third, since the interviewer‘s first impression comes from the interviewee‘s appearance, both men & women should be in neat, conservative dresses In a word, make yourself look like somebody with a pleasant personality & a real interest in the job.

CARE FOR THE ELDERLY

With the rapid development of modern technology, we have made medical advances that allow people to live longer than ever before, but what should we do with them after we have saved their lives?

First, allowances should be made for the people who are no longer earning a living, who cannot walk long distances, or who may have physical or mental disabilities that keep them from communicating with others.

Second, entrust the elderly to the care of nursing homes, where many kinds of entertainment facilities and treatment equipment are available;

Finally, a country that can help people live longer has the responsibility to care for them better, therefore the government is there to enforce high standards of care by virtue of law

STUDYING ABROAD

Attending school abroad has many advantages

Firstly, looking at our motherland from the outside, we can best see the strong points of our nation

Secondly, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely and make friends with the local people to widen our vision & broaden our minds;

Thirdly, the foreign language can be used in our daily life so that our ability in the second language will be improved quickly

Above all, we are able to get acquainted with the latest knowledge in science & technology as well as make use of the first-rate facilities available.

For all these reasons, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for further studies, particularly when the object is very weak or not available at home

TELEVISION IN OUR LIFE

Television—the most popular & persuasive form of modern technologies, marked by rapid change & growth –is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary functions, which promises to reshape our lives & our world. Or in other words, it is an electronic revolution, made possible by the marriage of television & computer technologies. Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses; it has been a major provider of news, information, & entertainment, placing our role as the passive viewer.

Television is more than just an electronics system, however, it is a means of expression, a vehicle for communication, & as well as a powerful tool for reaching other human beings.

ON STUDY OF English

In a sense, English is our bridge connecting peoples of the world. The development of a person, a business, even a nation cannot be achieved without communications with the outside world. Since English is most

universally used language in various international exchanges, without it we‘ll be isolated from international community.

However, the command of English is a time-consuming process. First, a workable stock of vocabulary requires several thousand words and expressions, which takes years to develop. Second, the improvement of the oral and listening competence seems disappointing to learners. Third and most discouraging of all is, the phrase which is made up of familiar words goes quite beyond one‘s comprehension.

Despite all difficulties, I shall be bent on practising as I believe in the saying: ―Practice makes perfect‖

现代文化生活话题（17） THE ADVANTAGES OF BOOKS

Books can be found to fit almost every need, temper, or interest. Books can be read when you are in the mood; they do not have to be taken in periodic doses.

Books have an inner confidence, which individuals seldom show; they rarely have to be on the defensive. Books can afford to be courageous & exploratory; they do not have to be so careful of employers, colleagues & community opinions. Books are infinitely diverse; they cover all the fields of human activity. Books can be found to express every point of view; if you want a different point of view, you can read a different book.

As the saying goes‖ it is always beneficial to open a book‖. Why not do it now?

Quite a number of people take our membership of WTO as the business of the government. However, confronted with WTO & the challenge in educational field, we have to take the following factors into account: Firstly, education is indeed one essential part of WTO, which is facing a series of new challenge & new opportunities now; Secondly, as a service trade, from basic education to higher & adult education,its open service has been on the way of continuous & enlarging development, and a global open market is coming into being; thirdly, education is an industry. The very aim of WTO is to ensure all kinds of educational products & establishments a conditional access to the market.

In short, WTO does ooncern education.

Fast-food is rapidly gainng popularity for quite a few reasons. Firstly, there is a variety of food awailable. If you are busy or tired of cooking, you may have food cooked quickly by modern techniques for a change. Secondly, fast-food satisfies people‘s needs. It is convenient, nutritious & delicious with a reasonable price everybody can afford.

现代文化生活话题（20） THE FUNCTION OF EDUCATION

As is widely accepted, education is regarded as both an individual benefit & a social necessity. It is a general view that everybody has the right & obligation to become educated

We believe that, through education, an individnal acquires the knowledge, skills, attitudes & abilities, which will enable him to fit into society & improve his social status. Education helps to shape the society & develop the national strength. Very often, people look to education as the cause of personal & national success & the care of social & economic ills, holding the view that the future of the human beings depends largely on education. In short, the system of education has three principal functions: teaching, research & public service

ADULT EDUCATION IN CHINA

There are many ways of attaining education at all levels Many high schools, colleges, or adult schools as well as business & industrial institutions offer noncredit daytime or evening classes in dozens of fields & skills.

It is reported that about 120 million Chinese participate in different forms of adult education through schools, job training, or correspondence courses.

About one in ten Chinese adults participate in an organized-learning group each year. In recent years, there has been a trend to bring in older students for post-secondary education degree. Colleges & universities, both public & private, offer what is now called‖ continuing education‖ programs, or ―lifelong education‖ programs of associate degrees, graduates studies or professional development

Under such a system, a worker may continue his study even on a part-time basis, & a retired person may return to college at an advanced age.

FAMILY---TRADITIONAL & MODERN

Families are important to people all over the world although the structure of family is different from one country to another or from the modern family to the traditional one.

Firstly, Let‘s see what similarities there are between the traditional & modern family. We can say both of them

are nuclear families (with parents & their children as only members), & the role of the father in both types is to provide for his family while the mother takes care of the childre‘s physical & emotional needs;

Secondly, the differences between the two are also clear. For example, the traditional husband was the head of the household while today’s husband & wife share the role;And modern woman works outside the home even after she has children, namely, she’s doing two jobs instead of one, so preschool children may go to a child care center or to a baby-sitter regularly(sine the mother works)

No matter it is traditional or modern, every family has the sense as following: families offer us a feeling of belonging, of love & security.

Being kind & polite means that your behavior shows respect for the rules that the majority follow, or in other words, act in a civilized way to avoid misunderstanding, friction & conflict

There are no laws enforcing respect. Yet we cannot interact with others without some rules of behavior, rules that are set by some form of social consesnsus

These guidelines represent what a majority of people consider acceptable & what they consider unacceptable. For instance, many people talk at movies, or make boring conversations with their cellular-phones and so on . In fact their behavior is closer to that of animals than civilized individuals.

Remember, every little bit of kindness & good manners helps, namely, being polite & showing respect can give us an edge, & it is always a good idea to be kind & polite

Fast food is becoming more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time.

You just go into a fast food restaurant, order your food, and your food is ready in no time. Second, its popularity is also attributed to it clean and comfortable environment, the excellent service, and the guaranteed quality of food.

However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It usually does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutritional value. While cooking at home offers healthy and delicious meals your body needs. Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while.

As the international language of diplomacy, commerce and technology, English is also the language of the United Nations and its agencies as well as of many other international bodies. To communicate in these areas outside our own country, we have to be aware of its widespread use.

English must be taught in all our schools, not only for the better communication with the world but also that our students can go abroad to learn the techniques our nation so urgently needs. We also need representatives who can command respect at the international conferences.

And if English is the common language of communications for all kinds of affairs, let us be as fluent and proficient in it as possible, for the sake of our own country’s advancement and prestige.

ON ADVERTISEMENTS

Nowadays, ads generally are constructive to both manufactures and consumers in China. With ads, producers can become more popular, as a result, the consumers can purchase according to what ads say.

However, some ads are too deceiving not to be ridiculous. A case in point is an advertisement of drug, which declares on CCTV that the drug has became the absolute remedy for AIDS. It is well known that in our world so far there has been no official report on discovery of the cure for the fatal disease. Actually various consumers complain of being taken in by such deceiving ads over the country.

In this light, governments at all levels should exercise more rigid examination of ads before they are exposed to the public.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

The saying “Knowledge is power” becomes universally accepted in that it reveals a simple yet brutal fact: It is the brain rather than sword that makes an individual or a nation strong.

The truth the saying speaks has been proven in man’s civilization, which is, to the greatest extent, accelerated by man’s knowledge in the form of science and technology. A century ago, it took many-years to send a message to the other end of the world. Nevertheless, we can have it done in seconds today with just touches on computer keyboard.

“Knowledge is power” means something particular to us Chinese since China remains backward. We must sweat over

knowledge so as to build China into one of the world’s economic giants.

I have been collecting stamps at my leisure time for ten years I am so greatly interested in it that it has become a hobby with which I can’t part.

Stamp-collecting is a never-ending pleasure as well as an education for me. As I wander through the album from China to India, from South Africa to France, I learn many facts and historic data about distant lands, details of foreign customs, arts, literature and culture. There is always something to do in connection with it, from meeting like-minded collectors, exchanging stamps, getting advice to showing off the latest find. Stamp-collecting occupies my leisure hours constructively. It makes me contented, with no time for boredom.

READING

Many people consider gold and silver as the most valuable things. They like these things more than anything else. I, on the contrary, put reading books first in the world.

The old saying, “to open a book is always beneficial”, sufficiently shows how good it is to read a book. Books are our friends, which introduce us to different kinds of knowledge and lead us to the road of greatness. They increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience, strengthen our character and do many other things which we might otherwise have failed to do.

Yet our life is limited and the knowledge is boundless. Therefore, we must make the best use of our time to read more books, thus to obtain more knowledge.

TELEVISON ADVERTISEMENT

Some people enjoy watching television advertisements; some people don’t think so. As to me, I’m really disgusted with television advertisements.

In the first place, the advertisements waste time. For instance, abort 15 minutes is lost by watching the advertisement during a single news program. In the second place, the advertisements interrupt the viewer. For example, the viewer may forget the situation of a show during the advertisement. Even worse, during a good movie, the watcher loses his feeling when the ad comes on, and that has bad psychological influences. In the third place, the advertisements make many products more

appealing than they really are.

Accordingly, the television viewer must be aware and critical of the advertisements in order to endure them.

现代文化生活话题（31） FAILURE IN LIFE

Failure is a common thing in our daily life. There are times when we fail to do satisfactory work. In short, failures happen naturally and almost everyone has such experience.

However, there are different attitudes toward failure. Some people lose confidence in failure. Some people don’t take failure seriously and they just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure.

In my opinion, what really counts is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and do after failure. As long as we don’t give up and believe in ourselves, and in the meantime learn something from failure, we’ll certainly make our marks in this world in the end.

EXAMINATIONS

In most schools, examinations are used as a chief means to find out whether a student succeeds or fails in his studies. Although they do the job quite efficiently, their side effects are also enormous.

The worst effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. Since examination score is probably the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is thus driven to memorize mechanically what need to be examined.

Examinations, instead of motivating a student to seek more knowledge, restrict his reading, and lower the standards of teaching. Actually, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that’s the case, why can’t we make a change and devise something more productive and reliable than examinations?

College students usually have to learn a variety of subjects. Once a student has chosen his specialty, he is obliged to learn all the subjects prescribed for his field of study no mater he likes them or not.

Yet, every student may have his own favorite subjects. Almost no student distributes his time evenly among all the

subjects. Some may listen to English broadcasting for hours. Others may sit all day long before a computer. Only when the examination session approaches will he divert his attention from his favorite subject for a few days.

My favorite subject is English. It is regarded as “a world language” which not only can help me communicate more efficiently with foreigners but also help me learn the most advanced knowledge.

I must learn to be patient to tolerate my students’ slowness in acquiring new knowledge, I must have good skills to make myself understood clearly and quickly by my students.

So you see, different jobs require different talents. I will live up to be the name of a teacher.

FROM APEC TO WTO

Nowadays, there is a saying going round that China‘s membership of WTO and successful hosting for Olympic as well as APEC in China this year are China‘s three active steps in the involvement of the world economical system.

Before China became a member of WTO, APEC has been China‘s only participation in the international economic organization, and it has always been the important tribune to pass on China‘s reform and opening information and to promote regional economic co-operations.

In the mean time, China also regards APEC as an important channel and system to connect its economics to the regional and world market, and most of China‘s policies on reducing tariff were declared in APEC, so in fact China has taken APEC as a preparing school for WTO.

In a word, on behalf of a para- member of WTO, China is there to give an active push to the new negotiation of WTO in Shanghai, and this will surely make an encouraging influence on Dawhah conference in November.

AT the beginning of the 20 century, there were four means of transmitting & receiving information over long distances: print, photographs, telegraph & telephone. In 1964, the Olympic Games in Tokyo became the first program to be transmitted via satellite.

The combination of satellites, which transmit information, computers, which store information, & television, which displays information, will change every home into an education & entertainment center. In theory, every person will have access to an unlimited amount of information, and people are able to shop from homes do banking without leaving the house, watch any movie they want on television as well as enjoy soho life.

IT make information from around the world available to be used quickly & easily, but some people worry that this may be a risk to our privacy. Namely, IT helps us and may also harm us. Thus carefully controlling this new technology is the intelligent applications of IT.

Money is something you‘ve been familiar with throughout your life. You regularly use money to measure the value of things you own. You also have some of it in your pockets & in bank accounts. Money serves a number of functions as following:

Firstly, as a generally accepted medium of exchange, money rules out the need for barter, the direct exchange of one item for another;

Secondly, money provides a unit of account that serves as a standard to measure value, e.g., the concept of GNP will be useless without a standard of value such as the dollar.

Thirdly, money can also serve as store of value that can be quickly converted to goods & services. Namely, money is completely liquid, and it can immediately be converted to goods &services without any inconvenience or cost

Others argue that customers can never be assured of the quality of the commodities unless they see them with their own eyes.

Therefore, they don‘t show any interest in shopping online.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WERE NO ELECTRICITY

Ever since early this century, electricity has been playing an essential role in our modern life. Take modern buildings for example, it is electricity that lights rooms and makes such modern wonders as TV sets, refrigerators and air-conditioners work. More important is, it is electricity that pushes elevators&running water up skyscrapers.No doubt ,it plays a part in our modern life as the role blood does in human body.

If there were no electricity, our modern life would be badly crippled. Without electricity, all modern wonders would be reduced to uselessness. Without elevators, running water, communications, lights and air-conditioners in certain areas, skyscrapers and other modern buildings would be unfit for people to live in for lack of electricity. In brief, there would be no electricity-based modern life.

Therefore, we should on the one hand save as much electricity as possible, on the other hand utilize more source of electricity.

Secondly, globalization is human-beings future, and a sound global management is its destination. It offers the global village a common market, a balancing-benefited political sphere and the more & more similar language

THE VALUE OF MONEY

Every man knows the value of money. If he has a lot of money, he can make himself very comfortable by having a fine house to live in, beautiful clothes to put on & delicious food to enjoy.

With money he can do what he likes. Money is so important and so useful that people are keen to possess it. But money can be a source of evil. For the sake of money, some people do not care about the means of getting it. They would steal, gamble, cheat & even kill someone to get money. Those evildoers profit at the expense of their victims.

Therefore, money is only a curse, if people do not know how to handle it. It‘s true that money can bring people happiness‘. With money they can buy the basic necessity. With money, they can go to the theatre or other places of entertainment. Happy are those who make money through their work & live within their income. In short, money is important & useful, but in itself it has no value if it does not give people real happiness.

China being a member of WTO, many foreign firms enjoy a free flow of trade capital, skills, technology & information in this huge market, and they in many ways have a big impact on people‘s lives. But what are our expectations of these partners or competitors?

In short, treat employees & local communities everywhere with respect & set examples of decency, fairness & solidarity, as well as of performance & competitiveness. Why? Partly because such behavior should be the ethical core of a company, and partly because it helps a lot to be responsible.

To be seen as being responsible, companies will find it easier to hire & keep talent, obtain good financing & gain social approval & political support---- We expect no more.

The world is slowly becoming a high-tech society. New technologies like computers, robots have changed the way most of us live & work. While life turns easier in some way, technology has had terrible consequences for many people.

In other words, people are suffering the changes brought by technology. For instance, millions of people are out of work today, and their unemployment is caused by machines that can do the work people used to do; In addition, managers who can not adjust to computers & telecommunication systems are losing jobs too.

We may have more food, better houses, cheaper communications, but we may also lose our ability to use these things. Technology may be improving our lives, but it is also taking away our livelihoods!

It is true that accident, illness & death are not pleasant subjects to discuss or even consider, & insurance always reminds us that we live in an unsafe world. But we are human & we have to face the possibilities of disease, injury, death & financial loss. It is better that we plan for these situations by finding means to deal with them than to just hope that they will somehow go away.

In fact, some intelligent consumers have already had a basic knowledge of insurance coverages, and their study of insurance is an effective, proven method of protecting themselves. So why not learn from them?

Recognie the many unfortunate events that can occur rationally, and don‘t hope you might be spared but look problems in the face. Meanwhile, don‘t depend entirely on the agent when you buy insurance but try to have a general idea on its basic concepts & be wise in taking care of yourself & your property.

Facing the challenge from WTO, all Chinese enterprises are working on the strategies to find a way out for themselves. Macroscopically speaking, three outlets are available for them to choose:

Firstly, be a cost leader, with the cheaper human resources & huge domestic markets, Chinese enterprises are more likely to realize their production of large of scale;

Secondly, take the lead in technology. If Chinese enterprises spend more money on technology research & development rather than on advertisements, it‘s no doubt that they are making a better choice;

Thirdly, cooperate. As the American saying goes: If you can’t beat it, join it. In a saturated market, to cooperate to surrive may be the only way to stand the chance & carry on your business.

ONE WORLD ONE ECONOMY

Globalization is the buzz word of the 1990s. In the two previous decades, the amount of money & goods moving between countries has been rising steadily. At the same time, trade barriers across the world have been lowered.

This more integrated global economy will ultimately benefit everyone because it will enable countries to specialize in those areas where they perform best Developing countries, with their higher population & lower wages, will concentrate on labor-intensive industries (such as raw materials & mannfacturing). The richer countries, on the other hand, will diversify into hi-tech industry where high productivity & special knowledge are paramount. And the effect of this will be to improve productivity in all countries, leading to higher living standards. The free movement of capital will also help poorer countries develop so they can play a full & active role in the world economy.

Secondly, it offers China more chances to accept the various and up-to-date senses of management, making China directly connected with the modern administration principles;

Thirdly, as a member of WTO , China is placed in the position to acknowledge universally-adopted business regulations and deal with everything accordingly.

Every Chinese takes China’s entry into WTO as a blessing and a promise of prosperity. It seems to be so at first sight, however, on reflection, we’re convinced that it’s just another coin with two sides.

On the one hand, both the nation and people will benefit greatly from China’s entry into WTO, for instance, foreign companies stream into china and offer great job opportunities. On the other hand, the entry imposes some negative effects on China. State-owned enterprises in China are undergoing great difficulties, which will be more acute with the flow of foreign

Firstly, unemployment fund has been established to help the unemployed workers to support themselves. Secondly, the unemployed receive vocational training, which is expected to pay off in the short term & give the unemployed an advantage in the job market.

These training programs aim to equip the workers with some special skills, such as typing, sewing, and cooking. Finally, psychological advice is also available.

In fact, a nation’s education is the base for her scientific and technological capabilities because education is the sector

that trains professionals on the one hand, it conducts scientific research itself on the other hand. For example, there is no university without a laboratory.

The speed of the automobile can be of great advantage in times of emergency. If you are seriously ill, for instance, you can be sent to the hospital in the shortest time possible by an ambulance.

However, an automobile is like any weapon man might use. If a bus is put into the hands of an unqualified driver, it can kill a lot of people in a fraction of a second. Therefore, drivers should always have a high responsibility so that he can drive the automobile safely.

Today, heavy traffic has been a headache problem in big cities. It makes people waste much time on the way home or to office.

People offer various solutions to this problem when they are asked. One solution is lay down more roads, to relieve the traffic density and accelerate the flow of traffic. But its disadvantage is taking up too much land. Another solution is to open up more bus lines.

But its disadvantage is bringing inconveniences to some people who do not take a bus. I believe the best way to solve this problem is the combination of the above-mentioned two solutions: we lay down more roads in the areas where roads are not enough and open up more bus lines in densely-populated areas.

TO BE A SPECIALIST OR A GENERALIST ?

Essay: preparing for the Interview

There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization, and there is also an

increasing demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees. We call the former & latter one ―specialists‖ & ―generalists‖ respectively.

The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique & tools. He is a ―trained‖ man; the generalist --& especially the administrator—deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, & with direction giving. He is an ―educated‖ man.

Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions.

It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, & to plan your career accordingly.

WHAT IS MBA?

As a professional academic degree, MBA differs from the ordinary types of theory-studying postgraduates as follows:

Firstly, MBA education centers on practical management, which means its candidates are largely on-the-job learners & graduates will mainly go to the enterprises; secondly, the features of MBA courses are wider, fresher & more practical so that it not only covers economic & administration but also gets involved in many professional knowledge concerning business management; Thirdly, more emphasis will be put on practices through case-teaching & fieldwork to bring up MBAs with strategic insight, creative mind & cooperative awareness; finally, with the idea of training more composite talents, undergraduates with various majors & working experiences are welcomed in MBA education.

In short, MBA has become an important channel to transfer the high-leveled management.

管理与决策（6） ADVANTAGE UNFAIR?

It is estimated that graduates from academic excellence make up only 2 of the total number of students who graduate from China‘s universities, but they always start with an unfair advantage in the employment market. As is generally believed, the guiding principle of colleges is higher education for everyone & the philosophy that equality must mean equal opportunity for self-realization & for the recognition of individual differences.

However, some argue that there‘s nothing wrong in having elite places of learning, & that by this very nature, these places should not be easily accessible; And we have to admit that most countries are run by anelite & have centers of a cademic excellence from which the elite are recruited.

So, how about making Qinghua & Peking University a place for remedial education?

TO BE A SPECIALIST OR A GENERALIST ?

With the emergence of the technological age, it has become increasingly difficult to be a knowledgeable person: there is just too much information to know sth about everything. So what should an educated person be in the twenty-first century?

It isn‘s always clear whether one should try to become a specialist or a generalist in today‘s world. Some people have focused their education, developimg skills in one area; specialists now flourish in every field of life. Conversely, others continue to believe that a well-rounded education offers the most in life; generalists typically follow a liberal arts education but may never become experts in any fields.

One of the dilemmas of our time has been whether to approach modern education in terms of the generalist or the specialist. A coherent vision of an educated person in the twenty-first century has yet to be defined

CEO’s VALUE

Whenever we talk about CEO, we‘ll have to mention its No. I representative—Jack witch. During his last 20 years‘ term of office, he had brought people too much shock, reflection & revelation.

As a professional manager, he is no other than a top employee, but he is an indisputab business leader, an organization delegate & a commercial head. His experience tells us that the very value of CEO lies in their initiative transformation & their creative activities. His secret of success can be stated as following:

Firstly, professional managers should look the problem in the face & dare make any change; Secondly, they are supposed to activate the business with vitality; Thirdly, the arrangement of the internal resources is to be at its best under their management; Fourthly, they are able to make the business more competitive; Lastly, the business they are working at is really an organicization of learning.

WHY I CHOOSE THE PRIVATE COMPANY?

As a graduate from academic excellence; I have an edge in the employment market. Facing many attractive choices, I made up my mind to be a member of a private company. And the reason to this decision can be stated as following:

Firstly, with a strong service awareness, private companies have a better marketing competence, and they always respond quickly to customers.

Secondly, they are more competitive in quotation, which enables the salesmen to do far better than their counterparts from foreign or state-owned companies; Thirdly, their very knowledge of the markets in China offers them a flexible operation, and this will not only take the best advantage of employee‘s initiation & diligence, but also form a close tie between work & individual‘s qualification.

Of course private companies also have weaknesses such as serious brain drain & smaller size than foreign or state-owned ones, but these factors just provide the very reason to support my preference. And I do believe that I have made a wise decision.

COOPERATION & COMPETITION--- THE BEST PREPARATION FOR FUTURE

As we proceed through, we are faced with many types of situations,each situaton requires us to behave in different ways. For example, a large project demands the cooperation of many individuals, each person must be flexible, supportive and be willing to compromise.

Being competitive also has a place in life. The desire to succeed and do better than others motivates us to work hard at our job and study dilligently at school. Competition is what makes playing sports so exciting.

Some people say that the best peparation for life is learning to be cooperative. Others take an opposite view, but to succeed in life we need them both. The most important thing is to know when to be cooperative and when to be competitive.

A LETTER TO THE BOSS ON THE REASON FOR A RISE

Dear Sir:

How are you?

I‘m writing to you for nothing but the reasons why I should get a rise.

Firstly, how much one is paid undoubtedly shows to what degree one is nccepted & respected, & I do want to be taken as an able & qualified employee

Secondly, higher payment can surely encourage employees to work harder & make the company develop faster. In other words, more money given to modal workers indeed offers the company a great power to bigger achievements, and I‘d like to be one of the promoters;

Thirdly, it is well-known that there exists a two-way option between employers & employees. Namely, a boss can make an employee stay or the latter choose to go freely. As for me, I am really considering‖to be or not to be‖ now, & I hope you can take my consideration seriously.

LET’S TRY TOC

TOC, shortened form for theory of Constraints, is in fact a constraint manage

It states that the production any business or organization can increase by breaking its system constraints no matter from which department it comes.

To illustrate it‘s operation more clearly, just answer the following 3 questions wthe you want to improve your management. They are:1.what to chang要改进什么？2.To what to change? 要改进成什么程度? 3.How to cause the change? And you can apply the three issues to production, marketing, management, strategic policy, communication, team work & so on. Further more, TOC can also be used in your personal decision & life plan as well as in the educational establishments.

In a word, TOC is a goal which everybody can achieve through scientific leaning & it is a shortcut to make things better.

SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDES

Science had its beginnig when man started asking questions about his environment. He wondered where the sun went at night & why the sky was blue. He sought answers to these & other questions

To seek true explanations, man needs scientific attitudes towards how things work.

Firstly, he has to be open-minded, which enables him to face the facts as they are regardless of what he has previously thought; secondly, he is also required to show respect for the views of others, no matter they are like his own or different from his; thirdly, with a patient wait-&-see attitude, he shoule take time to approach new findings and finally bases his conclusion on evidence.

These are called scientific attitudes, and they help man to develop science rapidly & know himself better & better

UNIVERSITY MERGER

University merger, a hot topic both on and off campus, has received much public attention. People’s attitudes towards it vary greatly.

As one in favor of it, I take it as an important step that universities take towards the goal of first-rate world universities. I believe that, only through mergers can universities give full play to their own advantages and make up for their disadvantages. Take the merger between Tsinghua University and the Institute of Applied Arts as an example.

The former strengths in the field of high technology complement the latter’s reputation of art. This is a typical model of successful merger, in my opinion. And I also think that university mergers will increase the competitive power of Chinese universities in the world.

PEOPLE SHOULD BE REWARDED ACCORDING TO ABILITY, OR TO AGE AND

EXPERIENCE

Young men and women join the hierarchy and take their place in the queue. They go to the very end of the queue and stay there no matter how brilliant they are. What they know is much less important than whom they know and how old they are.

On the one hand society provides them with better educational facilities, on the other it does its best to exclude them

from the jobs that really matter. This means that, they have to wait patiently for years before they can really give full rein to their abilities.

But why not employers recognize ability and reward it justly? If the young are more able, more determined, more hard- working, why shouldn’t they earn more?

WHY I CHOOSE MBA

Why have I chosen to be an MBA? –a question I have put to myself many times. But the answer is always the same: continuing education is something I truly want and it is worthwhile. There are many reasons for my choosing to be an MBA. The main one is that I enjoy learning and gaining knowledge.

I decided to become an MBA not only because it is a way that can support my continuing to seek scientific truths, but also it is an essential choice for me to be exposed to various new, original ideas. It helps to expand my horizons and make me a well-rounded person.

For these reasons, I never think postgraduate education is a waste of time & money.

Managers & Decisions

A decision is a choice made from among alternative courses of action available .The purpose of making a decision is to establish & achieve organizational goals and objectives. Thus the decision-making process is fundamental to management .

Almost everything a manager does involves decisions. Indeed, we can say that the management process is decision-making . Although managers cannot predict the future, many of their decisions require that they consider possible future events. So managers must make a best guess at what the future will be & look toward the future consequences of current decisions.

For managers, every decision has constraints based on policies, procedures, laws precedents(先例), and the like, At this managerial level ,decision making includes limiting alternatives as well as identifying them.

Managers of the prodution function are responsible for three major activeties.

First, production managers must make plans for production inputs. This involves determing the inputs required in the firm’s operntions & includes such decisions as product planning plant location, etc

Second, production managers must make decisions about the installation of the necessary inputs.

These include the actual design of the plant, the best types of machines to be used, the arrange-ment of the production machinery & the determination of the most efficient flow of work in the plant.

Third, production managers must coordinate the production processes: the routing of materials of the right places, the development of work schedules & the assignment of work to specific employees. The objective is to promote efficiency.

1. 当前社会上存在许多不诚实的现象 2. 诚实利人利已,做人应该诚实 It pays to Be Honest

Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some students cheat in the exams.

Dishonest people are short-sighted. Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won’t buy their products any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison. By contrast, honest people gain a lot. Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as well. Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends. Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.

In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor. So it is important that we should be honest.

Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?

Nowadays, many famous university campuses have become one of the popular tourist attractions. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of middle school students visit Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities in China.

Different people have different opinions about this phenomenon. On the one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for the students to visit the famous university campus in that it can enable the middle students to get more information

about the university and they can have enough time and opportunity to prepare them with the chance to get into the university. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this because public tourism will not only do harm to the environment but also to the intellectual atmosphere.

In my opinion, the tourism to the universities is not a good thing. The campus is mainly a place for study. With the increasing tourism on the campus, it will ruin the spiritual atmosphere in this learning field.

Reduce Waste on Campus

1. 有些大学校园浪费现象日益严重

2. 浪费的危害

3. 杜绝浪费 , 从我做起

As is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many students dump a lot of food in the garbage can. Some students spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes and so on.

The negative effects of waste can be shown in the following aspects. In the first place, it makes some students dependent on their parents for money, which is harmful to their development. If they don't learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. In the second place, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least important, there is no denying the fact that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help.

As far as I am concerned, I should set a good example to reduce waste on campus. First of all, I will refrain from wasting anything, from food to stationery. What's more, I'm determined to call on more schoolmates to fight against waste. Only through these measures can we hope to reduce waste on campus.

酒后驾车

2008年世界卫生组织的事故调查显示，大约50%—60%的交通事故与酒后驾驶有关，酒后驾驶1已经被列为车祸致死的主要原因。在中国，每年由于酒后驾车引发的交通事故达数万起；而造成死亡的事故中50%以上都与酒后驾车有关，酒后驾车的危害触目惊心，已经成为交通事故的第一大“杀手”。2010年8月，十一届全国人大常委会第十六次会议将首次审议刑法修正案（八）草案，醉酒驾驶或被判刑。

根据调查表明，40%的酒后驾车者“过高地相信自己的驾驶技术”。这类驾车者认为自己酒量大，开车技术过硬，总想用酒后驾车来“炫耀”自己的技术，结果造成险象环生。27%的酒后驾车者的“安全意识不强” 。

此外，酒后驾驶者存往往存在“侥幸心理”，认为自己以前饮酒驾驶从来没有出过事，也没有被抓过，而且也经常看到其他人酒后驾驶，于是便侥幸酒后驾驶，造成惨剧。有了以上思想作怪，驾驶者往往把酒后开车不当回事，使酒后驾驶屡禁不止。

喝酒时酒精的刺激使人兴奋，在不知不觉中就会喝多，当酒精在人体血液内达到一定浓度时，人对外界的反应能力及控制能力就会下降，处理紧急情况的能力也随之下降。对于酒后驾车者而言，其血液中酒精含量越高，发生撞车的几率越大。

当驾驶者血液中酒精含量达80mg/100mL时，发生交通事故的几率是血液中不含酒精时的2.5倍；达到100mg/100mL时，发生交通事故的几率是血液中不含酒精时的4.7倍。即使在少量饮酒的状态下，交通事故的危险度也可达到未饮酒状态的2倍左右。

根据国家质量监督检验检疫局发布的《车辆驾驶人员血液、呼气酒精含量阈值与检验》(GB19522—2004) 中规定，该规定指出，饮酒驾车是指车辆驾驶人员血液中的酒精含量大于或者等于20mg/100ml，小于80mg/100ml的驾驶行为。醉酒驾车是指车辆驾驶人员血液中的酒精含量大于或者等于80mg/100ml的驾驶行为。

人们在喝酒过后，对驾驶车辆有两项很重要的影响：（一）视觉能力变差：一般人在平常状态下的外围视界可达180度，酒后的视觉角度将会缩减，喝越多，就越无法看清旁边的景物。（二）运动反射神经迟钝：慢了一两秒。如车速为60km/h，一秒钟车子就已经跑了16.67米，必然会产生严重后果。

避免方法：

1. 安装车载防酒后驾驶系统：在车上安装能自动识别喝酒高峰时间段，能防止驾驶人检测作弊的防酒后驾驶系统，若超过国家标准汽车则无法启动。

2. 国家法律提供支援：国家提供酒后驾车相关限制管理法律条文，交通管理部门应借鉴国外方式对有酒驾记录人员实施强制安装防酒后驾驶系统。

3. 提供“酒后代驾”服务：餐饮娱乐场所为客人开设“酒后代驾”服务，或由政府开通“酒后代驾”服务专线。

4. 免收酒后过夜停车费：餐饮娱乐场所免收酒后客人的车辆过夜停车费，支持客人在酒后主动放弃驾驶。

5. 在酒标酒单上印制警示令：将“酒后不驾车”的宣传语、漫画等印在酒瓶的商标上及餐饮娱乐场所的酒水单上。

6. 履行社会服务令：除国家规定的处罚外，酒后驾车者还要到医院做义工。

7. 避免侥幸心理：消除人们“少喝酒不影响开车”的认识误区，剖析酒精对驾车者的影响和危害，警示人们放弃侥幸心理。

8. 配备“车德”卡：在每辆车上配一张“车德”卡，每次被查到酒驾就在“车德卡”上做一个记号，实现社会共同监督。

9. 录制亲情提示音：录下孩子童声“爸爸，喝酒别开车，我和妈妈在家等你”作为手机定时提醒录音，从晚上7时开始，每小时提醒1次。

10. 为醉酒者友情叫车：为醉酒者（不论是朋友还是陌生人）叫辆出租车。

11. 发挥车友会的作用：由车友俱乐部向全体车友发出倡议避免酒后驾车，车友之间互相监督。

违法行为：

公安部2009年12月17日正式对外公布了新修改的《机动车驾驶证申领和使用规定》。此次修改中的一大亮点就是加强驾驶人源头管理，对部分驾驶人主观过错大、严重影响道路交通安全、扰乱道路交通秩序的交通违法行为提高记分分值，加大对交通违法行为的处罚力度。 ——将饮酒后驾驶机动车，在高速公路上倒车、逆行、掉头，使用伪造、变造机动车牌证3种违法行为，由一次记6分调整为记12分。 ——对违反禁令标志、禁止标线指示违法行为的记分分值由2分提高至3分。 ——新增遇前方机动车停车排队或者缓慢行驶时，借道超车或者占用对面车道、穿插等候车辆，以隐瞒、欺骗手段补领机动车驾驶证和机动车在高速公路或城市快速路上遇交通拥堵，占用应急车道行驶等3类违法行为记分。

在提高严重交通违法行为记分分值的同时，针对目前交通违法行为记分项目偏多、重点不突出等问题，进一步扩大轻微交通违法警告教育面，减少了交通违法行为的记分项目，取消对“低能见度气象条件下在高速公路上不按规定行驶”等12类交通违法行为的记分处理，合并了9种项目。将上道路行驶的机动车未悬挂机动车号牌与故意遮挡、污损、不按规定安装机动车号牌、饮酒后驾驶与醉酒后驾驶机动车等９种性质类似、分值相同的交通违法行为的记分合并；降低“货车载物超过核定载质量30％以上或者违反规定载客”等违法行为的记分分值。

据了解，调整后违法记分项目由47项减为38项，其中，一次记12分的6项，记6分的9项，记3分的11项，记2分的8项，记1分的4项。与此同时，本次修改进一步细化驾驶人补领机动车驾驶证的相关规定，杜绝恶意补领机动车驾驶证违法行为，对违反规定继续使用的，由公安机关交通管理部门处以20元以上200元以下罚款，并收回原驾驶证。同时，规定驾驶证被依法扣押、扣留或者暂扣期间，驾驶人不得申请补领。对采用隐瞒、欺骗手段补领驾驶证的，由公安机关交通管理部门处以200元以上500元以下罚款，记6分，并收回补领的驾驶证。

20日上午,宝鸡市民刘先生从高新区路过时,恰好赶上节前领导慰问环卫工人。“人很多,当时领导还给环卫工人发慰问金了。” 但让刘先生不解的是, 活动结束后, 环卫工人手里的红包又被收了回去。据他了解,收红包的人姓马,是环卫部门的“负责人”,“这种做法太过分了,明显是在作秀嘛!”

当日下午, 记者联系到几名参加了上午活动的环卫工人, 他们称, “此前活动中每人收到的 300元慰问金的确是被负责人现场收回去了,她姓马。”

20日傍晚,记者电话联系到收钱的“负责人”马女士,并以环卫工人家属的身份询问此事。据了解, 马女士是宝鸡市高新区管委会下属的环卫部门的负责人。

“ 300元慰问金此前都一起发了,领导慰问金是高新区管委会准备的,所以要收回来, (慰问金 ) 不能重复得。”马女士说,虽然红包被收回来了, 但不能说是领导慰问的钱没给大家, 是因为临时有变化才在活动中发了又收。她说,此前市级领导来慰问,原本要组织一些尚未拿到 300元慰问金的环卫工参加, 但因为所有环卫工人的慰问金之前都发放了。所以就临时组织了 3组环卫工人代表来接受领导慰

热点 2:河南平顶山的“天价过路费案”本月刚刚审结,鄂尔多斯又曝出了一宗 “天价羊毛衫案” 湖南农民李清因卖了几个月的假冒 “鄂尔多斯”、 “恒源祥”羊毛衫,被鄂尔多斯市中级人民法院以假冒注册商标罪判处有期徒刑 5年,并处罚金 2151万元。(《广州日报》 12月 27日)

一段时间以来发生的诸多制假、售假事件,让公众对于制假者、售假者深恶痛绝,但是,罚金高达 2151万元的 “天价羊毛衫案”一曝光,还是让我感到吃惊, 因为在我印象中,似乎少有此类售假案判决如此之高的罚金,仔细分析案情,更让我感觉案件处理值得商榷。法院对李清处以 2151万元的天价罚金,源于公安机关在李清店里“扣押所有羊毛衫的吊牌标价共计 43013364元”,法院遂按照有关司法解释中 “罚金数额一般在违法所得的一倍以上五倍以下, 或者按照非法经营数额的 50%以上一倍以下确定”的规定,作出判罚,这似乎有法律依据。然而, 按照被告律师的说法, “他实际销售几个月, 一共才 6万元的货品, 盈利才 1万元” , 李清家属也称 “吊牌价 1680元每件只卖 50多元;吊牌价 2180元每件卖 150多元”。

这就涉及非法经营数额计算问题, 法院用吊牌价来计算, 实际上, 李清的销售价远远低于这个价格。而按照相关司法解释的规定, “已销售的侵权产品的价值,按照实际销售的价格计算。制造、储存、运输和未销售的侵权产品的价值, 按照标价或者已经查清的侵权产品和实际销售平均价格计算。侵权产品没有标价或者无法查清其实际销售

价格的,按照被侵权产品的市场中间价格计算”。也就是说,法院首先应当查清实际销售价格, 而不能直接就适用吊牌价来计算非法经营数额。

从常理上讲, 李清的说法更可信。因为中国人都有些讨价还价的习惯,标出的价格往往比实际卖出的价格要高,而且,他卖的还是假冒的产品,卖出的价格完全可能更低一些。更重要的是,据李清自己说,去年 12月 15日公安办案人员曾扣押了其两台电脑主机和账本, 里面详细记录了每件羊毛衫的实际销售价格, 但这些账本和电脑并没有移交给法院。然而,公安机关并不承认存在这一情况,这让案件更加扑朔迷离。事实上,即便没有这些账本,公安机关通过询问购买羊毛衫的顾客也可以印证李清的说法, 为何要直接就适用吊牌价来计算呢?

单就这一案件而言,我认为相关执法者和司法者不仅有悖常识, 且有“懒政”之嫌。执法者、司法者并不是生活在真空中,他们需要通过常识判断事实真相是什么, 进而努力查找证据, 最大限度地给予被告人公正处罚,让其罚当其罪。然而,从这个案件中,我们似乎并没有看到相关执法者与司法者查找证据的努力, 而是臵吊牌价与实际销售价可能的巨大差异于不顾,执意机械地适用对于被告人不利的 “吊牌价”。

这一案件, 在某种程度上也凸显了运动式执法的遗憾。卖假羊毛衫要打击, 但是, 毕竟它的社会危害性并没有那些食品制假来得严重, 而我们似乎并未看到对于食品制假有过如此严厉的处罚。两相对照,

则不免让人觉得, 这样严厉的处罚对于李清来说并不公平, 对于遏制制假、售假也未必能起多大作用。早在二百多年前,意大利刑法学先驱贝卡利亚就曾经说过:“刑罚的力量不在于严酷性,而在于其必定性,即便是最小的恶果,一旦成为无可逃遁的,就总是令人心悸。 ” 如果我们只满足于专项行动中抓小虾米, 并不惜重手将其致于死地,而不是致力常态执法, 将矛头对准吞舟之鱼,那么执法者的公正性就会让观者觉得打了折扣,很难服众。

热点 3:2011年 12月 29日网友透露广东省公安厅出入境政务服务网的网上申请数据亦遭泄露, 由于该功能的权限控制错误, 导致普通用户可以绕过登录环节, 直接访问后台查看数据, 在该网站提交过网上申请的用户均遭到泄密

当今社会中, 网络用户越来越多, 同时也就催生了黑客们谋取暴利的途径,致使大量的网上用户的信息被盗取成为暴利的主要产品。而面对这样的高发利益链,就会让越来越多的黑客一族们雀雀欲试, 通过利用自己的技术手段获取网络用户信息,再用他们获得高额报酬。另一方面, 针对网络用户信息被泄露的一些互联网公司是否会采取相应的措施或是正面回应用户信息泄露一事都显得不那么积极。而一些互联网公司敢于承认遭黑客袭击泄露了网络用户信息, 还有一些互联网公司或是为了避免责任则予以否认。无论网络用户的信息是通过怎样的途径泄露出去的, 提供网络服务的公司都应该承担相应的责任,从而保证互联网用户的信息安全。

近日来,网络用户信息、密码等频频被曝遭遇泄露,自 12月 25

日下午消息, 天涯社区密码泄露, 这是继 21日 CSDN 的用户数据库泄露,多家 SNS 、游戏网站遭泄露之后,又爆出的一批名单。这两天, 各大网站纷纷通知自己的用户修改密码。 26日凌晨,有人爆料新浪微博用户密码也遭泄露,随后消息被删除,但用户不禁噤若寒蝉。如今,包括 CSDN 、人人网、多玩游戏、 7K7K 小游戏和天涯社区等大批网站的用户资料已经泄露。据初步评估, 目前网上公开暴露的网络账户密码有超过 1亿个。黑客究竟掌握了自己多少秘密 ? 下一份名单什么时候被释放出来 ? 无人能给出答案。

面对越来越多的网络用户信息泄密事件, 监管部门应尽快的采取相应的应对措施, 提高网路用户的信息安全指数, 确保网络用户的信息安全。同时针对大量盗取网络用户信息的黑客一族的们要严加防守严厉打击, 加大对这种利用技术手段谋取暴利的手段的惩处, 或以相应的立法来约束这种盗取牟利行为, 从而净化网络信息, 还网络用户们一个安全的网络环境。

网络用户信息安全理应得到更多的重视, 不管是提供上网的互联网公司, 还是网络用户自己, 还是监管网络安全的相关部门都应各尽其职确保网络用户安全, 切记不可使用推皮球式的免责声明, 否则会有更多的黑客一族涌现出来, 盗取更多的网络用户信息从中谋取更多的利益。

热点 4: 2011年,全国 1000家公益慈善组织的透明度平均得分是 33分(按百分制计算)。 8%的受调查公众对公益慈善组织的信息公开状况表示满意,这一比例与 2010年的 9%相比,略有下降; 84%受访者

表示不满意。

这一“成绩单”,来自民政部下属的中民慈善捐助信息中心昨天发布的《 2011年度中国慈善透明度报告》。在慈善透明指数排名前 100名的公益慈善组织中, 上海真爱梦想公益基金会 (非公募 ) 居榜首, 其次是中国人口福利基金会 (公募 ) , 中国红十字基金会 (公募 ) 位居第三。

慈善事业今年经历了“郭美美”、尚德诈捐门等系列慈善危机。报告称,续半年之久的媒体 “透明问责风暴”中暴露出来的一系列的涉及公益慈善组织的社会公共事件,将“慈善透明”这一行业和专业问题推到了社会公众面前,成为本年度中国的最大社会热点问题之一。

在此背景下,中民慈善中心的研究团队,对全国 1000家各类公益慈善组织开展信息公开的完整性、及时性、准确性和易得性考察。中民慈善捐助信息中心副主任刘佑平坦言,如果及格线是平均分 33分, 今年考察的 1000家公益慈善组织, 及格率为 48%左右 ; 如果以 60分为及格线,及格率仅为 8.2%。今年是中民慈善捐助信息中心第三次发布“年度中国慈善透明报告”,调查样本包括 1000家公益慈善组织和社会公众。

■ 疑问

33分是否意味中国慈善很差

专家称,应从募捐能力等方面判断慈善组织工作水平

“慈善透明指数”体系由四方面内容构成,完整性 (59个指标,满分

70分 ) 、及时性 (5个指标,满分 10分 ) 、准确性 (3个指标,满分 10分 ) 、易得性 (4个指标,满分 10分 ) 、共包含 71个指标,总分为 100分。此次中国 1000家公益慈善组织平均得分为 33分, 是否意味中国慈善工作做得很差呢 ? 对此,中民慈善捐助信息中心主任彭建梅指出, 慈善信息公开的透明度, 只是公益慈善组织的发展评估的一个方面。慈善组织做得好不好, 还要看它的募捐能力、资源是否有合理配臵、慈善项目执行效果等诸多方面。当然,透明度反应了一个慈善组织的基本能力。

中民慈善捐助信息中心副主任刘佑平也同时提醒, 公众更应该关注慈善信息公开的“效力” ,即信息披露对资源配臵的作用究竟有多大。也就是说, 透明度提高,怎样转化为一个公益慈善组织的募捐效率和行为规范的直接推动力。

因此,《 2010年度中国慈善透明度报告》也向政府提出建议, 政府对慈善公益组织的成长,应有实质支持。

■ 前瞻

慈善信息公开有望立法规范

民政部明年有望出台《慈善捐助信息公开管理办法》

本月中旬,民政部公布酝酿两年的《公益慈善捐助信息公开指引》, 引发社会关注, 其中规定:公益慈善组织接收日常捐赠后的公开时限为 15个工作日 ; 重大事件募捐信息,应在 72小时内公开。

不过,该《指引》因无强制性条款和罚则,也引发公众对规范执行效果的疑虑。

民政部社会福利和慈善事业促进司副司长徐建中昨日表示,《指引》是一个慈善行业的指导性文件, 民政部将在此基础上, 继续征集社会各界的意见和建议,研究制订《慈善捐助信息公开管理办法》,作为部颁规章,从立法角度,对慈善信息公开,进行刚性规范,有强制效力要求行业内所有公益慈善组织执行。

他透露,由于行业法规需要经过一系列立法程序,所需时间较长。民政部争取在明年出台该《办法》。

徐建中还透露,明年,民政部会推动慈善行业信息公开标准的建立, 告诉公益慈善组织,哪些信息须及时公开,哪些信息公众最关注,为公益慈善组织开展信息公开, 提供自我评估的依据和工具, 实现慈善信息公开的可行性和可操作性。

■ 分析

透明度上升满意度下降

对 2010年亦有考察的 99家公益慈善组织跟踪监测显示,今年, 这些组织的透明度明显提高 4个百分点。但同时, 公众对公益慈善组织“透明”情况的满意度,却下降了 1个百分点。

调查显示, 84%的受调查公众,对慈善透明度,表示不满意。不满意的主要表现, 是认为公益慈善组织的财务信息 (如年度财务报告 ) 和业务信息 (如目前募捐合作伙伴、募捐工作成本及开支 ) , 披露不够及时、完整。

中民慈善中心分析认为,造成上述结果的原因,一方面与今年持续的慈善问责风暴,和网民对整个社会诚信的质疑情绪漫延有关 ; 另

一方面,也说明包括捐赠人、受益人在内的社会公众权利意识、问责意识提高较快, 微博等新媒体技术更推动了要求信息最大化和不断追问的社会气氛, 而公益慈善组织的透明建设速度, 赶不上公众对慈善信息公开的需求进步。

八成公众想了解财务信息

公众对慈善组织的信息的关注点上,也有所变化。 84%的公众希望了解财务信息, 82%的人还希望了解业务信息。而去年分别是 73%和 79%。

由此看以看出, 与往年相比, 公众更加关注公益慈善组织的财务信息 (如机构人力及行政成本、审计报告等 ) 和业务信息 (如求助信息、筹款活动、资金使用情况等 ) 。这说明网络公众对信息的核心内容关注度越来越高,公众的对公益慈善信息的专业性也在提高。

而对 1000家公益慈善组织样本的监测显示,公益慈善组织在以上四个方面,基本信息表现最好,业务信息次之,治理信息和财务信息较差。

报告指出, 与公众的要求相比, 公益慈善行业的整体表现仍有较大差距。

80家慈善组织主动晒账本

郭美美事件、河南宋基会事件, 都带来公众对公益慈善组织财务状况的担忧。捐款会不会被挪用,甚至从事其他无关的商业投资 ? 《 2011年度中国慈善透明度报告》显示, 99家固定监测公益慈善组织,在上述核心信息的披露方面,已有较大进步。其中,财务信息披

露的进步最大,透明指数提高 26.9分。也就是说,有更多组织完整披露了自己的年度财务报告,也就是“晒账本”,告诉公众“钱究竟花在哪儿,怎么花的”。

热点 5:微博发言,匿名好还是实名好?有不同看法很正常。如果从群体心理学的角度看, 或许还会有一番新的认识。互联网特别是微博的发展,对不同“心理群体”的形成提供了环境和条件。

心理学家的研究早就表明,在心理群体形成之后,他们的感情、思想和行为变得与他们单独一人时颇为不同。法国著名心理学家勒庞对此有不少发人深省之论:从成为群体的一员开始, 博学之士便和白痴一起失去了观察能力。心理群体易冲动、易变和急躁,易受暗示和轻信,道德水平十分低劣。群体中的某个人对真相的第一次歪曲,是传染性暗示过程的起点。在暗示和相互传染的推动下, 一个人编造的奇迹,立刻就会被所有的人接受。群体推理的特点,是把彼此不同, 只在表面上相似的事物搅在一起, 并且立刻把具体的事物普遍化。知道如何操纵群体的人,给他们提供的也正是这种论证。

不少人的发言,听起来激情四射,头头是道,但仔细琢磨,却发现没有内在逻辑关联,得不出那样的结论。然而,心理群体往往忽略这种 “琢磨” , 全盘接受。在匿名状态下, 这种群体心理效应被放大。匿名,无异于给发言者以隐身衣,同时给其放纵自己、传播谣言、歪曲真相提供了便利。这就是为什么留言板上有很多露骨恶心的色情表达和完全无聊无耻的攻击谩骂, “地震” “谣盐”之说瞬间让社会出现恐慌。

舆论学有一个重要概念叫“沉默的螺旋”,是指“已有的多数人的舆论对少数人意见无形的压力, 形成一方公开疾呼而另一方越发沉默的螺旋式过程,于是更为强大的舆论生成。”在一定意义上说,这正是群体心理发生作用的过程。最终形成的“舆论漩涡”或舆论一边倒现象,正是群体心理的一个重要特点。

这种群体心理, 既可以对社会发展起到正向作用, 也可能对社会进步产生负向的力。这种力量,从根本上说非理性的成分居多,而社会进步还是要靠理性的建设性的力量来推动。然而, 这种群体心理在现实社会中往往是难以避免的, 更何况在互联网技术条件下?实名制或有利于祛除匿名发言者的隐身衣,削弱这种群体心理效应。

尽管心理群体会对一些哪怕是轻微的反驳进行谩骂, 使得一些人面对“舆论漩涡”而沉默。但是,真正清醒理性的声音,还是能够较大地减弱群体心理效应, 使舆论回到理性的轨道。这也就是勒庞所说的:有时只消一句悦耳的言辞或一个被及时唤醒的形象, 便可以阻止群体最血腥的暴行。

热点 6:因为小楠与同学说话间骂了邻班梁老师一句“彪子”,被梁老师要求道歉。虽然父母委曲求全,提出在全校师生面前公开道歉, 仍未获同意, 只好按照梁老师的意思, 花 260元在报纸上登了一封公开道歉信。 (2011年 12月 12日《大连晚报》 )

“登报道歉”能拔高师道尊严吗

“彪子” , 在山东部分地区以及大连、丹东等地用来形容一个人很傻。作为一个老师, 被学生这么说心里不舒服可以理解, 但咄咄逼人使得

学生家长花钱登报道歉,就有些过分了。

尽管对这位老师的做法心里有气, 还是不想再说太多气话。这位老师接受采访时称,小楠骂他时,很多学生都听见了,为了维护自己的尊严,小楠必须道歉。不难看出,这位老师过于在乎自己的尊严。当然,人都渴望有尊严,何况是为人师表的老师。但是,难道除了学生“必须道歉”,就没别的办法维护师道尊严了吗 ?

学生之所以骂老师“彪子”,也不是不懂得维护老师的尊严,而是因为学校收费一个班级收了 30元钱, 另一个班级收了 30.5元, 这让学生很不理解。按道理, 老师应该搞清楚学生骂自己的根源,让学生了解事情的真相, 再作出合理的解释, 这不仅是老师的责任和义务, 也是令学生尊重,拔高师道尊严的路径。

这位老师的做法, 同时暴露出一些教师的思想短板——他们没有树立与学生交流的观念,还习惯居高临下对学生下令。也正因如此, 便得理不饶人,心里只有“师道尊严”,而忘记了对象是个正接受教育的孩子,忘记了“大人不计小人过”的谦逊,不仅不能拔高师道尊严,反而会让自己变成实在的“彪子”。□贺成

从“登报道歉”看分裂的师生关系

无论站在哪个角度出发,似乎都会发现“登报道歉”其实是当今教育乱象的一个缩影,背后呈现出来的,是分裂的师生关系。

就部分教师而言,他们不是把“老师”当做一份事业、一种信仰,而是谋生的工具、向上层流动的砝码。在教学过程中简略地完成任务, 在利益和权力面前,没有自己的底线。他们不教学生做人,甚至认为

工资才是维系师生的惟一纽带。这种畸形的自我定位, 导致老师心中没有“以学生为本”概念。

就部分学生而言,在家是独生子女,天下唯我独尊,缺乏基本的道德素养,对任何人都不屑一顾,不把老师放在眼里,辱骂、顶撞老师。在他们眼中,没有“一日为师终生为父”理念,老师就是一个该为自己服务的工作人员。在此番语境下,尊重与敬仰从何谈起 ? 错乱的自身定位, 让老师与学生在两条道路上渐行渐远。 “登报道歉” 也正是师生关系分裂演化的产物。试想, 如果老师能够多给学生一些爱的教育, 让他们明白师道尊严, 如果学生能够认识到自己的学生身份,对老师、对学业多一份尊重,这种乱象定不会上演。

热点 7:近日,北京市出台《北京市微博客发展管理若干规定》,要求任何组织或者个人注册微博客账号, 应当使用真实身份信息; 规定允许用户的微博名称不必实名,即“前台自愿、后台实名”。网站开展微博客服务,应当保证注册用户信息真实。据统计,截止到 2012年 11月底,中国微博账户已增长到 3.2亿,约占中国网民的 65%。微博已经超越网络论坛,成为仅次于新闻媒体报道的第二大舆情源头。随着微博发展,微博在信息传播中发挥着越来越大的影响力。但同时,在微博发展过程中 , 也出现了传播谣言和虚假信息、买卖“粉丝”、利用微博进行欺诈等突出问题。这都损害了公共利益和公众利益 , 引起网站、用户和公众的不满 , 社会各方强烈呼吁加强和规范微博管理 , 保障互联网健康发展。北京市出台这一规定,无疑正是对公众这一呼吁的直接回应。规定甫一出台,就引起网上热议。有人说,微

博实名注册让人欢喜让人愁。笔者认为, 有必要弄清楚谁欢喜谁发愁。实名注册使得每一个微博账户都对应一个真实的身份信息, 让微博少了虚拟性, 多了些真实性, 这意味着每个用户必须对自己在微博上的言行负责。对这样一项切合用户“社会责任”应有之义的新举措,哪些人会愁呢?笔者认为, 愁的是那些妄图用通过微博传播谣言以蛊惑公众、在网上制造舆论事端的人; 愁的是那些妄图利用微博制造和传播虚假信息以污蔑、攻击竞争对手的人; 愁的是那些制造虚假微博账户并倒卖“粉丝” 以从中牟利的人;愁的是那些通过微博传播色情暴力、进行坑蒙拐骗的人。微博实名注册会减少微博上的虚假和欺骗, 阻止谣言和虚假信息的产生和散布, 对遏制虚假和有害信息通过微博传播、营造诚信健康的网络环境将产生积极效果。因此,那些希望通过微博获取真实信息、进行正常交流的人, 必然会因这样的规定而欢喜。公信力是媒体的生命。一个充斥着谣言和虚假信息的媒体,无法得到公众的认可和接受。实名注册能够减少不负责任的言论、净化微博环境,让微博传播更可信的、更高质量的信息,让微博朝向更优质的媒介发展进化。因此,实名注册会增强微博作为媒介的权威性,营造诚信健康的网络环境。笔者相信, 这正是绝大多数微博用户所希望的。同时, 实名注册也对注册用户信息保密提出了很高的要求。在此, 笔者也希望用户身份信息认证机构、开展微博服务的网站,在人员、技术等方面务必严格管理, 打消用户身份信息被泄密的顾虑。北京市这一规定的颁布实施, 在规范微博发展上迈出了坚实的一步。只有用户、服务和管理各方共同努力,才能使中国互联网顺着健康、诚信、

文明的道路发展下去。

热点 8:教育部网站发出公告,将首次面向海内外公开选拔东北师范大学和西南财经大学两所直属高校校长。对此,学者们是矛盾心态, 一方面,认为面向全球公选大学校长,是一大值得肯定的创举;另一方面, 又担心如果后续改革不能跟上的话, 则可能使这件好事流于形式。(《中国新闻网》 1月 4日)

虽然教育部直接发全球公开选拔的公告, 之前似乎没有见到。但公立大学自发公告,全球公选副校长、院长的新闻,或者广告,还是时常见诸报端的。但其后的结果, 也基本可以预料, 缺乏后续 “新闻” , 公选变成了实质的提拔。这些公选出来的校领导, 也顺理成章变成了有级别、纳入公务员管理的体制内官员。

学者们之所以为公开选拔叫好, 是对教育去行政化抱有很强的期待,因为选拔不等同于提拔,选拔可以提拔,但选拔也可以仅仅是人岗匹配的一种方式,在其位,有其职,谋其事,不在其位,无其职, 更无级别。同时,选拔,意味着一定程度上的民主,既然可以选拔, 也就当然可以罢免,理应是谁选拔校长,校长对谁负责。提拔则不一样,强调的是结果上升,而不是过程的民主,是单向的变动,没有退出的机制,行事的目的,也当然主要是对上负责了。

西方的大学,奉行教授治校,无行政级别,有健全的校董事会制度, 选校长就与选职业经理人一样, 根本不存在 “提拔” 一说。因此, 国外高校的校长人选, 要的就是最优秀的, 全球遴选是理所当然的意思。因为有完善的制度, 优秀的人才也愿意去当这个 “高级打工仔” ,

因为可以充分施展自己的报复与才华。

我国的大学则不一样,校长不仅是个工作岗位,更是一级官员, 重要的不是权利,而是权力。在我国大学的权力体系中,又往往是错综复杂的,既有校内党委与行政的纠结、教代会与校长会的纠结,更有各级政府直接插手的权力干预,校长想实现自己的大学治理蓝图, 不懂中国的“厚黑学”、“官场学”、“中庸学”,不用迂回曲折的办法,基本上是不可能实现的。新闻喧嚣中的南方科技大学,也没有还选出一个其他肤色的校长, 朱清时抱着理想而去, 也只能孤独战斗, 这就是最鲜活的一个例子。

同时, 中国的高等教育领域, 还存在奇怪的官方身份标签, “ 985” 、 “ 211”,这不仅是教育投入上的身份论,而且是高校地位的官方结论。即使海选出一个杰出的、鞠躬尽瘁死而后已的校长,无论如何努力,也难获得同等的竞争机会,也无力改变高校的“阶层”属性。计划经济的思维下, 怎么能与市场经济思维下的 “作为全球大学通则的校长遴选”对接呢?

也就是说,没有大学自治,没有高校的公平竞争机制,无论是教育部,还是各高校,所谓的公开选拔,实质上都是一样,提拔。这样背景下的“海内外公开选拔”,对谁最有吸引力,是不言而喻的。国外一流的职业校长, 基本不会光顾, 即使有诚意, 愿出高额 “转会费” , 别人还害怕砸了自己的招牌,敬而远之。只有那些骨子里“官本位” 浓厚的黄皮肤黑眼睛的华人,趋之若鹜,争破人头。

其结果也就预想而知了,一阵喧嚣之后,官方有了“改革”的尝

试, 当选之人如其所愿被提拔了, 至于大学, 该怎么样, 还是怎么样, 按部就班,回归平静,没有了新闻。说句实话,中国的高校改革,形式上赶潮流当然需要,但更重要的是要制度革新。没有制度革新,形式再“潮”,也只不过是穿了一件花衣服的皇帝的新装。
