9、ld be fornidden in public places.Mandarian,which means mon language,is the countrys predominant language and iswidely used by more than 70 percent of the population.However,localdialects still enjoy popularity for relatively less-educated people in someoccasions.The dialects do make unique role and

10、should be tolerated forexistence in public places.Though promoted widely in public places,dialects are acceptable in public-优选.places.First,it is more than a mere tool for munication.It is,mostimportantly,the messenger of its respective culture.If the dialect waseliminated from daily use,the culture

15、tyWhat I Have Learned From My Years at UniversityThe development of an individual human existence can be divided intoseveral important stages.But no period can be more influential upon thelater course of our life than the years we have experienced in college.Hereis the cradle of intelligentsia with

16、vision,mission and passion.And now,as Iam ready to leave campus and face the real world,I dare say that no otherplace can teach me more.I am very proud that in university I have learnt how important it is forone to have vision,that ability to see ahead of time and possibly others.College has raised

17、me up,so that I could enjoy a broader view of the world.University Library,the sanctuary of mind always keeps me in a close touchwith the great thoughts of giants,Shakespeare,Russell,Churchill,Roosevelt,to name only a few.All these overwhelmingly famousnames have turnedfamiliar and friendly here.The

18、se great minds teach me how to live ameaningful life.They warn me that the last but greatest enemy for mankindis human existence itself.Their words of wisdom shall guide and guard meto overe all the obstacles beset in the course of my life.In the light of thisstatement,I have to say that college yea

19、rs have brightened up my vision.It is at university that I have acquired an added understanding of themeaning of mission i.e.man should have shoulders strong enough to takemore responsibilities of the time.College has enriched me,so that I,tosome extent,have discovered the truth to live by.When I wa

20、s a sophomore,-优选.I was chosen a volunteer for the Red Cross Institution.My job,then,was toassist the doctor with the blood collecting in a blood donation car on thestreet.Those days bestowed me with a moving but a little bit singularpicture,in which the painful injection and hearty smile are perfec

21、tly andbeautifully bined.Every parcel of blood means a piece of hope,throughwhich I see that the possession of life lies in sharing.This is how collegeyears have defined my mission.It is after some years at university that I have better apprehendedToynbee when he said,“Glory belongs to those who are

22、 actually in thearena,fighting passionately whilst showing every now and then mistakes orshortings.I have understood the spirit of transcending myself,sometimes even in a crazy way.If youth is the freshness of the deep springsof life,then college must be the fountain of passion.It cheers in the chao

23、sof gym;it hides in the silence of lab.During the college years,I neverstopped pursuing my own dream,because I never fail to be inspired by theflowing current of young passion.Lawrence H.Summers,former President of Harvard said in hisfarewell speech,“College graduates,capable of deep reflections are

24、 whatthe world needs.Living in a world of madding crowd,a group,or even asmall group of people are expected to remain transcendental and sober.Ifany can live up to so high a standard of existence,college graduates can.And I am fortunate in being among them at this moment and having spared-优选.little

25、time cultivating my vision,mission and passion in the past four years.With these,I have better courage to change myself and most probablybetter preparation for my future.0707：Financial Disparity:Not a Barrier for FriendshipFinancial Disparity:Not a Barrier for FriendshipWith the development of marke

26、t economy in China arise the ine gapsbetween people working in different fields:some earn good money;somemake ends meet;some others live on narrow means.On top of many socialproblems this financial disparity may cause there is a claim that it affectsfriendship.The assumption seems reasonable but we

27、may find it does notreally hold water by taking a close look into the subject.First of all true and lasting friendship is built on mon values pursuits orhobbies rather than similar ines.Friends are those who agree with your lifeviews and stick to the some principles those who encourage you when youl

28、ack confidence in meeting challenges and pursuing your dream or those whoshare your interests and appreciate your tastes.Indeed what strengthens theseemotional bonds between you and your pals is not the same amount ofwealth but spiritual monalities.Of course with similar financial backgroundsyou wil

29、l probable know better about each others life style but the differencein this aspect will not matter if you are mutually appreciated needed andtrusted.The friendship between Marx and Engels-the two Germanrevolutionists-is a case in point.The former was often in debt while the-优选.latter was well-off;

30、yet the same socialist dream drew them together and madethem forever friends.Moreover financial disparity between friends does not cause troublebecause each of them usually lives a self-reliant life.Different from a marriedcouple who have mon properties budget and spend their ine together evenvery c

31、lose friends live on their own finances.For instance though weexchange ideas with and confide secrets to our friends we will never rely onthem for a fortable life no matter how rich they are.Admittedly there aretimes when we may go out for fun or to dinner together with friends;however whether they

32、are richer or poorer than us we can definitely find aplace suitable for all rather than one beyond somebodys means.It is claimed that people with different financial backgrounds havedifferent social contacts and accordingly as friends will get estranged sooneror later.It is true in some cases but bo

33、som friends are not those who you getin touch with every day instead they are those who lend their hands to youwhen you fall into trouble just as the old saying goes a friend in need is afriend indeed.Hence despite their distinct material life the richer and thepoorer can retain their friendship as

34、long as they still care about each otherunderstand and support each other.To sum up financial disparity will not affect friendship when peoplehave mon spiritual pursuits lead an independent life and stand by each other-优选.for better or worse.It might be quite safe to say that money is not the barrie

35、rbut the touchstone of real friendship.0606：AmbitionAmbitionAmbition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which hecarries out that decision.It provides us with the required driving force to acplish any undertakings inour life.Just as Joseph Epstein,a famous American writer put it,And as

36、we decide and choose,so are our lives formed.Indeed,once we make upour minds to choose to do something,then our life bees meaningful andspecifically orientated.This notion of life,as far as I observe,is closest totruth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.First things first,ambition renders

37、us a sense of mission.No matter whatdecision you make you have to be responsible for your choice.Your choiceprocures you a sense of orientation,or more specially a sense of mission.And only a strong mission may enable one to acplish greatness.Caesar of theancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambiti

38、on“I came,I saw,Iconquered.And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history ofRome.John Milton,stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writingsome“mighty lines which England would unwillingly forget,had in duetime secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English-

39、优选.literature.In the second place,ambition can bring ones potentials to thefull.Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating ones dormantpotentials.Without ambition ones potentials will remain slumbering like adormant volcano.A case in point is Ms Zhang Heidi,a Chinese Helen Keller.It was heramb

40、ition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Heidiinto a well-acplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of somenormal people aim at the sun,though,at worst,they may probably land onthe moon.Influential as it is upon us,however,ambition must be channeledin the right d

41、irection.If wrongly directed,ones ambition may bring havocon him and others.Hitler,whose ambition was to conquer Europe bywhatever evil means,finally turned him into a demon.It was this demon thatalmost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering.Another case is Macbeth whose amb

42、ition was to bee the king of Scotland.However,his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan.Consequently,unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to histragic doom.To sum up,ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely andcorrectly channeled,otherwise it may ruin others and

43、ourselves.A poet says:life can be bad.Life can be good.Life can be dirty.Life can be sad.Lifecan even be painful.In my minds eye,a person can make his life beautiful,meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he ismotivated by a well-orientated ambition.-优选.05:Interview An

44、Effective Way to Recruit EmployeesNowadays,interview is frequently used by employers as one of thepreferable means to recruit prospective employees.As a result,there havebeen many arguments for or against it as a selection procedure.Some peopleregard it as a good way to select employees in a short t

45、ime while others thinkit not proper to decide on a personjust by the simple means of interview.Both of them have some truth.But in my opinion,it is an efficient way torecruit a prospective employee.First of all,interview serves as an efficient way to examine if a personhas the qualities that are nee

46、ded for modern petition or for a certain pany.Ininterview,one needs to present the best part of oneself to the interviewers.Ifthe interviewee is well prepared and has a knowledgeable mind,he or sheshould show it plainly to the interviewers.The key point for the intervieweeon this occasion is to be q

47、uick-minded and resourceful.Certainly one will eacross some tough questions from the interviewers.What the latter expects isa witty even humorous answer.What is more,in an interview,facing a groupof interviewers,who will make a decision on the interviewee fate,theinterviewee has to remain calm which

48、 is an essential quality for modernpetition.Secondly,interview embodies fairness-the principle of modern society.During an interview,all interviewees will face the same conditions,such asthe same place,the same time;they will face the same interviewers and-优选.questions of similar difficulties.The ou

49、tstanding candidate has to surpass allthe other interviewees in answering ail sorts of questions and it mainlydepends on his or her own ability.And the judgment is not made by oneinterviewer but usually by a group of interviewers,whichis more objectiveand democratic.Thirdly,interview offers a broade

50、r scope of selection for both theinterviewers and interviewees.A pany that needs to remit employees can holda big interview to select their most ideal employees they expect from manyapplicants.The interviewees on the other hand,can attend several interviewsto find the most appropriate panies in whic
