A promising subject will provide you with knowledge and also better career     1     (opportunity).

So what subject should you choose in college? In October, Shanghai Ranking Consultancy     2     (announce) the 2020 edition of the Best Chinese Subjects ranking.

The ranking selected the universities on the Chinese mainland,     3     offer master’s degrees in 96 national first-level subjects.     4     (base) on factors such as research projects, awards and achievements etc, the consultancy evaluated the universities’ performances in each subject.

    5     (Fortunate), in terms of quantity, Zhejiang University ranked first with 59 subjects on the list, followed by Tsinghua and Wuhan University with 58 entries each.

There are 236 subjects from 90 universities that     6     (regard) as "top Chinese subjects". Peking University and Tsinghua University tied for first place with 24 top subjects. Eight subjects of Zhejiang University ranked among the top three,     7     (include) optical engineering and civil engineering. Subjects were classified into 13 fields. For computer science and software engineering, Tsinghua University had the     8     (high) score.

Experts point out that     9     number of subjects provided by Chinese universities is growing. Meanwhile, thanks     10     consistent investment (投资) into China' s higher education departments and programs like the Double First-Class Initiative (双一流), the academic programs are improving.

7 . A 14-year-old scientist took home $25, 000 from a national science competition for inventing a liquid bandage that could replace antibiotics (抗生素).

Kara Fan from San Diego, CA won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fan came up with a special liquid bandage that could replace the overuse of antibiotics. “I want to show my invention of the liquid bandage to more people. I think it is important for more people to be aware of the serious crisis and do something about it,” Fan said.

The 3M Young Scientist Challenge is a national competition for middle school students, which takes place every year. The students are tasked with coming up with an idea or invention that solves existing problems.

Ten finalists are chosen to compete for the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” and a grand prize of $25, 000. After being selected, they work with scientists to make their idea come to life. Each competitor is judged on their invention’s creativity, scientific knowledge, persuasiveness (说服力) and communication, and overall presentation. Apart from Kara Fan, other finalists included Jay a Choudray, who invented an airflow control robot that helps to save energy in a home, and Caroline Crouchley, who invented a climate-friendly transportation system that doesn’t need a diesel engine or electric motors.

3M holds the competition for students in grades 5-8 because its research has shown that their interest in science fades, which is terrible for a country. And they want to inspire the young to develop love in science .

8 . Cassius Marcellus Clay was born on January 17th, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. In his younger years he had no interest in sports until an accident happened.

When Cassius was 12, his new bike was missing. Reporting the theft to Policeman Joe Martin, he said that he was going to beat whoever had taken his bike. Martin, who had been coaching youth boxing for decades, asked the boy, “Do you know how to fight?" When Cassius admitted that he didn't, the officer suggested, "You'd better learn!

It was the beginning of his boxing career. Cassius devoted himself to boxing training. Although he wasn't very talented in boxing, he worked harder than anyone else in the gym. He'd rush to the gym every day as soon as school was over and would even train on Saturdays. Outside of the gym, Cassius stayed away from anything that would influence his training. He was showing the kind of determination and discipline that other boxers didn't have.

Under the guidance of Martin and his friend, young Clay began winning games one after another. By the age of 18 he had won 108 games, 6 Kentucky Golden Gloves championships and 2 national AAU titles.

Today he is recognized as the greatest athlete of modern times. He always carried a self confidence and believed in his ability that he can put his competitors off guard before the first round bell had even sounded.
