Unit 1If you ask me, taking a second major isn’t good for every undergraduate.In my freshman year as an English major, I took economics as my minor.By all odds, I was the most hard-working student in my cla.But try as I might to meet the requirements of the two different subjects, I still couldn’t do well enough to pa all the exams.Given that the study of economics required a good command of mathematics, I had to spend so much time on math that I neglected my English.。Failing English Literature and Macro-economics in the second semester sounded the alarm for me.This was the first time I did not pa a course in my life, which had greatly sapped my confidence.Although I was not a man who would easily bow to fate, as the summer break came to a close, I decided to give up economics for fear that I would fail in both subjects.Now that I had only one subject to attend to, everything seemed to be on the right track again.Unit 3 What you wear seems to dictate your behaviour.Take primary school and high school students for example.One of the hard and fast rules they have to observe is that they must wear uniforms at school.There is no doubt that school uniforms would not have achieved their currency without a symbolic correlation between the uniformity of clothes and the students’ conformity to some common code of conduct.However, after years of school life, there is always a backlash secretly nursed in the students’ mind against the ubiquitous uniform which supprees the expreion of individuality.To compensate for this lo, students usually wear more casual and popular clothes on weekends.It is not until they start university, however, that they can really enjoy the freedom of dre, an anarchy aociated with the cultivation of creativity and the encouragement of free expreion of ideas and talents.But this situation won’t obtain for long.After a relatively short time of liberty, they may experience again the revived preure of dre code as soon as they become profeionals.Unit 5Our presumptions about what ideal husbands or wives are like reveal a lot about our gender expectations as well as our responses to them.If most girls want their fiancés to be tough, capable and reliable, there is no option left for young men other than to be trained as tough, capable and reliable if they want to win girls’ heart.If they act to the contrary, they will most probably bemoan their bachelor’s status for the rest of their lives.Following the same unwritten rule, if most boys expect their fiancées to be caring, patient and faithful more than anything else, girls are prone to let on that they will become faithful wives and loving mothers even if they are not the type.Looking into such gender expectations, we may find that they are based on both physiological and social factors.It goes without saying that women are physically prepared to bear children, whereas men are utterly unfit for the job.Therefore, a family is better-off when its male members devote their time to providing food and other neceities for it.Unit 7In the graduation ceremony, Thomas Clark, a veteran CTO of a renowned IT company, offers some important advice to 140 computer science majors who aspire to pursue a succeful career in IT.In his opinion, information technology is not just about aembling machines and devices;it is a domain where innovation plays the key role.So naturally IT workers have to endure great preure in their work as they need to come up with new ideas on a daily basis.But Clark also points out that the ultimate goal of IT busine is profit.If you want to succeed in this busine, you need to keep in mind that innovation is not synonymous with individualism.It is noticeable that because of arrogance and poor communication skill many gifted young men didn’t realize their potential, thus failed to achieve succe.Clark emphasizes that you must learn to cooperate with people from different departments, and only thus can your talent bloom by creating products that will be accepted by the market.Unit9In the last couple of decades, there have always been people who believe that simplified characters, a product of the radical reform of Chinese language, fail to retain the eence of our traditional culture.From their point of view, it’s disgraceful that so many Chinese cannot read traditional characters.Some even argue that simplified characters are a defective system of language and using them makes Chinese people dumb, and that our civilization has reached a stage where we have to go back to traditional Chinese characters to save our national culture in decline.But those in favor of traditional characters are unable to provide sufficient evidence for their aertions.They also forget an important point: In ancient China the complexity of traditional characters created a rift between the educated and the uneducated, while the simplified characters have helped hundreds of millions of people become literate, and to a certain extent blurred the boundaries between the educated elite and the ordinary public.If we went back to traditional characters, it would be very likely to infringe on the majority’s right to education and damage the unity of Chinese society.
