On my first day in college, I was filled with worry and anxiety. I have heard that college is quite different from high school. Before school started, I became concerned about taking courses for credits, which would determine whether I could graduate on time. I also worried about getting along with my classmates and the rules and regulations of the school.
I was not used to changing from high school to college, which is why I was a little scared when I went into the building. I saw so many students that I did not know. I was surprised that we have class all day and there are around 150 students in one lecture class. I went to my first class really early so that I could get a seat close to the teacher to record the class and meet my classmates. Fortunately, there were some students that I knew from high school. Therefore, the class was not so scaring any more and everything seemed to be better than before.
Now is another thing. I did not realize that college students can wear whatever they want and it doesn’t matter with the uniform. But except for one, which is about your ID. You have to wear it when you are in college. If you don’t, you won’t be allowed to have the class, so it is totally different from high school. Related to this, the college contains only two sections for one morning, each lasting two hours. We have fifteen minutes for having the break time. That day, on my way to the next class, I tried to make new friends with the other students. After the morning class, I had lunch with my classmates. Most of my classmates are from the other provinces, which gives us a lot to talk about.

Half a year before graduation from college, my son began to seek a job. Due to the financial crisis, fewer companies would like to employ new staff, which worried me and his mother a lot although we knew our son was good enough. My son targeted a company that intended to hire only one person while there were more than twenty people filing their resumes (简历).
After the interview, there would only be three who could enter the final round, which would later decide one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite smoothly and my son passed the first round and entered the final round in a week. We were all happy about that.
On the day of the final interview, my son and other two candidates arrived at the interview place on time, waiting for the test. Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably brief and simple. The interviewer only asked a few questions and said to them, “All of you are very super. Please go home and wait for our message. We will tell you the result in three days. Good luck to all of you!” On the morning of the third day, my son received a text from the company shortly after breakfast that he was not employed. We all felt very disappointed.
In nightfall that day, my son suddenly told me excitedly on the phone in a loud voice, “Dad, I have been employed!” Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him, “What’s the whole matter?” My son told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. Actually the first text sent to my son was also part of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my son’s reply was “Thank you” while the others said “Goodbye”.

Walking on the street, the bitter cold of a December day in Washington, D.C. was ruining my mood. The temperature was below zero so I ducked into the subway station, hoping to get warm.
Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court (美食广场) was tempting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for a handout (施舍). But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him.
While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune.
He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped.
The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, hatless and gloveless. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight.

Today is his birthday. It's a special day that Brian feels that he is lucky to share with you, for today he is 70 years old.
About a month ago Brian asked Danielle and Nancy if he could do what he wanted to do on his birthday. He didn't know then what he would say, but he did know that he wanted to share his age in a very public way. Little did he suspect then that he would be sharing not only with his co-workers on the 29th floor, but with the entire region!
Revealing age is not something that most people, including himself, feel comfortable doing. People wouldn't think of asking their friends, associates or customers how old they are. Why is it then perfectly acceptable to ask a child how old he is? What changes between age 7 and age 70? When and why does age turn from something to be proudly claimed to a topic to be avoided?
He believes it happens when a child no longer states his age as a simple fact, just as his youngest son Gavin used to do with mathematical precision: “I am 6 and 5/12 years old.” Then he instead begins to focus on being seen as older. As parents, people contribute to this mind shift by remarks such as “Act your age” or “You're older than that.” He admits that he said such things to his own children. The child gets the message that age brings status, power and autonomy. People celebrate important events. Then sometime after age 21 birthday celebrations lose their allure. No longer is getting older seen as a badge of distinction. Instead, people become concerned that they are getting old. The very word “old” has negative connotations. What image comes to mind when you hear “old age” “old folk's home” “old guard” or “out with the old, in with the new”? “You're too old” will gradually turn into “I'm too old.” He has heard this inner voice many times.
Paragraph 1:
He always recalls the moment when he was 30.

Twenty years passed.

Which Matters More—Major or University?
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A Fresh Start at College
After my parents drove off and left me standing at the parking lot with my luggage, I felt very awkward and thought everyone on the new campus was watching me. Finally, I decided to do what I had been doing: Keep my ears open and my mouth shut, and try to appear as mature as I could. However, no matter how hard I tried to be mature, I still felt a little bit embarrassed when I dragged my luggage along the way to my new dorm. Having unpacked my luggage and settled down in my dorm, I spent the rest of the day seeking out each of my classrooms so that I could march in without asking silly questions.
The next morning I went to my first class early. Once I was in the room, however, another problem awaited me. Where to sit? After much hesitation, I chose a seat in the first row and to the side.
“Welcome to Biology 101,” the professor began.
Oh, my God! I had thought it was a literature class. A cold sweat broke out on the back of my neck. I took out of my schedule and checked the room number. I was in the right room but the wrong building.
“So now what?” I wondered. “Get up and leave in the middle of the lecture? Would everyone laugh at me?”
In the end, I decided to settle into my chair and tried to look as serious as a biology major might be.
After class I felt a little bit hungry and hurried to the cafeteria. I filled my plate with sandwiches and was heading for the seat when I accidentally stepped on a rotten banana on the ground. I lost my balance and my plate fell to the floor.

In a classroom in Seoul a group of teenagers sit over their desks in total silence. Study begins at eight in the morning and ends at half past four in the afternoon. And some even go back home at midnight. Like thousands of South Koreans, they are preparing for the important exam, which will largely determine whether they go to a good university or not. Degrees have become useful. Seventy percent of students who graduate from the country’s secondary schools now go straight to universities.
Many more countries have seen a big rise in the share of young people with degrees, but South Korea is an extreme case. As technological reforms require workers to do many difficult and demanding jobs that they would not have done before, there seems to be reasonable to insist that more workers receive a good education than before. And a degree is an obvious way for bright youngsters From poor families to prove their abilities. People tend to earn more if they have degrees.
Employers do not have to pay for higher education and they are increasingly able to demand degrees to screen out the least motivated or capable. A recent study by Joseph Fuller and Manjari Romaan of Harvard Business School shows that companies routinely require applicants to have degrees, even though only a minority of those already working in the role have them.
The Economist’s analysis found that between 1970 and 2015, the proportion of 256 workers aged 25-64 with at least a bachelor’s degree increased. Some of them are highly intellectually demanding jobs, such as aviation engineers. Others are non-graduate jobs such as waiting tables. Sixteen percent of waiters now have degrees, because probably in most cases they could not find jobs and live poorly. Today, having a degree is usually an entry requirement.
