If You Get In, Make College Count

As tuition costs rise, with post-undergraduate (本科毕业后) jobs difficult to find, is higher education worth the cost?

Here is an unfortunate truth: For far too many incoming freshmen, college－any college－is not worth it. Year after year, students fail to get the full value of their tuition.

Many critics blame this cost/value problem on the universities, though each critic might point to a different reason: teachers always think of difficult research, the high costs of athletics, or the popularity of majors that are supposedly not suited to the new job market, to name some of their favorites.

But these are symptoms and not the illness itself. In our experience, the source of the wasted university experience begins with the student. Too often, students make bad choices or, frankly, just not enough great choices.

Too often we meet students who are so exhausted by the business of getting into college that they don‘t work hard once they arrive－one of the most common wastes of time and tuition. A poorly constructed transcript (成绩单) can be destructive to a student‘s education. Failure to engage and build professional working relationships with professors in office hours (which may lead to continued study, internships and more) also hurts the student‘s experience.

Another mistake is failing to make use of the many support networks on today‘s college campuses. It‘s almost embarrassing how many good offerings are rolled into each tuition dollar, but most students don‘t know they exist.

Another common point of failure is filling the schedule with too many extracurricular activities as students once did in high school, rather than getting intensely involved in one or two at most. The same can be said of overburdened course loads.

The final great failure we frequently see is the approach students (and their parents) take to selecting a major and accurately seeing its impact on a future career. University systems are not vocational schools. While critics nowadays complain about the attraction of useless majors – and some do exist – more frequently we see too many students pursue a course of study that is not their strength, simply because it seems to have obvious connections to a potential job after graduation.

Rather than perform poorly in a ―practical‖ major and be of little interest as a future job candidate, we say it is better to major in a subject where a student would do well and master the tools of communication and analysis. Students who choose a unique major should complement (使更具有吸引力) that with some well-chosen skill courses, internships and other co-curricular activities that help them with career opportunities after college.

So, is college worth it? It can be. Studies show that college graduates have many advantages – material, social and emotional – that can lead to greater success later in life.

To get the full value out of college, students must be as diligent and creative about getting out of college as they were about getting in. After all, the most beautiful, Olympic saltwater pool does you no good if you don‘t know how to swim.

Human Flesh Search—thousands of individuals working to find and make public someone‘s personal information, mostly online—will be ruled as leaking personal data, which is against the law, according to China‘s top court.

Internet users or network service providers who leak people‘s personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, and clinical data will have to hold legal responsibility.

Network service providers will also be held responsible if they are aware that their users have violated others‘ rights but have failed to take action.

The decision comes after years of arguments over whether it‘s right for the public to try those who behave wrongly.

On the one hand, cyber hunting does have its positive influences. Some public officials have been removed from their positions after human flesh searches led to corruption investigations. During disasters like the Sichuan earthquake in 2008, the search method also helped many people to find their loved ones.

But many think that online cyber hunting is creating a threat to privacy. ―People‘s ?unusually high enthusiasm‘ makes the human flesh search engine phenomenon unique,‖ Xujun Eberlein, a Chinese American author and commentator, told Forbes. ―Participants often ?reach out their hands‘ thoughtlessly,

violating people‘s rights instead of being righteous(正直).‖ 【写作内容】

Public opinions toward this decision vary, some showing approval while others objection.

D Personally, I am convinced that a ban on the human flesh search is essential. Although the human flesh search has indeed exposed some bad guys and their wrong doings, it is court B rather than individuals that is to take the responsibility to do the trial. Despite their good intentions, what these cyber hunters do is both immoral and illegal, which can greatly endanger C individuals and the whole society.

Therefore, it is high time immediate and positive measures should be adopted to address A the problem. Firstly, the government must make relevant regulations and laws to protect people’s online privacy. In addition, all people should enhance the awareness of the importance D of privacy protection. To avoid unwanted attention, it’s better for us to make personal D information only available to friends. Only in these ways can we ensure network security.

Possible Version Two

A The article announces that new laws are to be put out to suspend the Human Flesh Search. Public opinions toward this decision vary, some showing approval while others objection.

A As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think it’s proper to ban the human flesh search, which in recent years has played a crucial role in exposing some bad guys and their wrong doings, C helping clarify facts and speeding up the legal process of some cases. With netizens

participating in search, it is an effective tool to find desired information and sometimes give the C

wrongdoers the moral punishment they deserve.

However, the human flesh search is a two-edge sword. To avoid negative consequences, positive measures are necessary. Firstly, the government must make clear regulations and laws to protect people’s online privacy. In addition, all people should enhance the awareness of the importance of privacy protection. To avoid unwanted attention, it’s better for us to make personal information only available to friends. Only in these ways can we ensure network security.
