突然发觉应该把香港的住处早点给解决了。我很懒的折腾这件事，而且我现在生活要求“每况愈下”，就打算自己在村屋租个床位或者隔间了事，也省的找室友找中介看房子了。
  边上的樟树滩有堆村屋专门出租给中大学生。群上有同班女生已经租了那里，说还行，我也就打算租了。
  今天一早六点一刻出门，因为房东10点要上班让我早点去。八点一刻便到了中大。从这距离看住罗湖也是很可行的。
  出了地铁便是中大校车。看到牌子上写着提倡运动的内容，说明了从这个楼走到那个楼消耗多少热量，相当于多少食物——一个汉堡一个火腿之类的。还挺有趣。
  村屋距中大走公路3公里不到，说有条小路修好后只要十分钟，现在也可以走，不过比较烂泥。不过考虑到我时常在周末坐车几十公里专程去找烂泥路来爬，家门口就给我条烂泥路爬也还不错。
  中大风景不错，依山傍海，实质意思就是走到哪都要爬坡。嗯。
  村屋附近自然是没有什么吃的喝的或者商店。村屋的内部也就是一般村屋应该有的样子。话说看到网上说内地房租最近上涨，“广州某处70多平的涨到了2400”，然而2400在香港真的是只能租6平方。
  不过好在人家用“伬”作单位，所以从数字上看起来还挺宽敞。哈哈。
  想想反正也不会有什么住处会比莫愁宿舍更烂了，没有什么村落会比浦口校区更偏僻了，就这样吧。
  我就是还没纠结好到底是租个双人间还是单人间呢？总之先把双人间的一个床位定下来了。
  再过一年深圳地铁该修好了。不知道那时候会不会经常回坂田体会下有“家”的感觉，呵呵~~~

  香港最近正在什么政改，一副很自由很民主的样子，地铁电视上放着人们抗议示威什么的，可惜我也听不懂他们在抗议什么。路上很多标语口号与此有关。不过我还不很清楚这件事到底在干什么。就不说了。
  回来走福田口岸的，从沙田（大学之后两站，去那给同事家儿子买奶粉~~代购奶粉以后会是我的例行工作，呵呵~~）进站到回到四季花城才一个半小时。主要是口岸里基本上一个人也没有。

  看着中大还是觉得未来值得期待的。不过两年前刚来到华为貌似倒是也曾觉得生活美好。那个时候连未来都不用考虑。
  当然深圳是很好的，华为也是不错的，只不过会计这个职业我不喜欢，这个部门又相当纠结而已。我仍然坚持这么认为（别人也这么认为）。

  话说后天又要去考AW了来着，这真是一件折腾的事情。。虽然说这次比三年前准备得充分一些，但是临到这时又不想去考了，主要是考虑到反正笔试也来不及准备了，又是要取消的事情了。但是取消也不过退款40刀而已，刚够我还推迟了一次机考的钱。今天貌似也超过考前三天了，还是去考吧。就当去广州逛一趟。唉唉唉，GRE这个纠结郁闷的事情。我到底啥时候才能把它解决啊。总是有退路的样子，总是不想去考。烦啊烦。

2009年12月9日 突然想起来 我还要考GRE的来着 怎么一下子就已经十二月了 貌似本来打算辞职后再准备的？一看论坛上孩子们十一月就开始准备了 安慰自己 又不是第一次了… 十二月十日 报名 居然是交钱后好几天才能显示选的考位有没有 首选三月十七广州机考 不知道有没有了 又一次 唉 辞职还是不辞职 这是个问题 又交了一千四的那刻 真的是又下了一月结完账立马提电子流的决心

  这个地方，有一搭没一搭的。电脑里的东西丢了，找不到以前的字了，也省得怀旧。只是想找3年前的心境，跑这来看，也看不出什么名堂。好像一直是在努力做些什么，结果一直却还是在原地踏步。绕啊绕，也不知道离目标近了几步。今天打雷下雨，深圳的雷声真的响亮。再纠结什么考不好真的是很矫情。倒是学会安慰自己，三年前模考上不了600结果不也还行。这次应该也行。其实也不过是个IBT,有什么大不了。毕竟除此之外我也不是没有生活了，怎么说也还是在挣钱的。真的想好了目标就努力呗。总会有进步的。至少比过去明确自己想要什么了。至少自己自己真的不想要什么了。当然，很可能熬一熬也就适应了，然后一辈子就过去了。努力学习的状态还是可以有的。anywan .一年又一年。

People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge).Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer

 

In our country, the number of students entering universities is becoming larger and larger. When asked why they choose to become a college student, they will give various answers such as to get better job, to learn more knowledge, or to make more friends.

 

Since today's world is full of competition, you have to make more efforts than the counterparts who live fifty years ago to get a decent job. That is probably the most prevalent reason for entering college. In the past, there were less universities and the higher level education is for only a few students. Besides, China was not as developed as today and there were not a lot of positions requiring well-educated people. In that situation, after graduated from universities, you could definitely find a wonderful job. But the students who just had a high school degree could also have a job fairly good. Things are different today however. Thousands of factories have been set up and millions of vocations have been calling for talents qualified for a certain position. Consequently, more colleges have come into existence/come into being and they enroll more and more students. At first, people want to get a bachelor degree to acquire a excellent job. But as a result of the growing number of students, a higher level education can not guarantee a perfect job anymore. Teenagers have to enter college because they think it's the only way to make sure they can live on themselves in the future. 

 

There is still a group of students who attend colleges think they are longing for more knowledge instead of just a good job. Such students are conscious of in what field they are interested and what career they want to devote themselves to.  They do not think what they have already learnt in high school is enough. They often plan for their future after high school graduation and make choice independently. Unlike the first kind of students who usually choose a field in which the employment rate is high, the later type of students will follow their heart, even the specialty they select can not make it easier to find a job.

 

Another reason for entering college is to make more friend and then to make a good preparation for becoming a social individual.  There is no doubt that college is like a real society more than high school. In this little society, you can organize a party, join a game, and communicate with more people.  All these can help you to develop social skills which are prerequisites for living a better life after graduation.

 

No matter what reason one has to enter college, university life will become a valuable experience in one's life path, as long as one seize the day and study hard.  （60Min 459）

翻了下07年日志，第一篇GRE作文是54分钟写了492个字，现在又退步了。哀伤一下。

感觉自己应该是可以在45分钟写出来550以上的东西了，有点宽慰。能这样已经可以满足了，写得烂不烂已经是另一回事了。只要不碰上特别变态的题目。

36"The greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries."

 

I agree with the speaker in some respect that some figures' greatness can be decided only by those who live after them for the reason that a great figures with eminent talent and thinking are usually out of step of their time and their society. But the assertion that no individuals' greatness can be decided by their contemporaries remains unconvincing considering the history and contemporary experience that there always are a lot of great men getting recognition and reverence during their lifetime. Also, we should not overlook another fact that some great men who were considered as great gradually be forgotten through the time and can not earn the same fame by those live after them as that by their contemporaries.

 Firstly, we should keep in mind the fact that the great figures especially the ones who have distinct thoughts in the field of philosophy or inspiration in art often go ahead of their time and their society. Van Gogh, who lived a depressive live and only sold one of his works in a low price when he was alive but earn a big reputation after his death, is a good example to illustrate this issue. His contemporaries did not realize his genius in painting and hardly anyone wanted to buy his works, but those who live after him considered him as one of the greatest artists who has created the impressionism in painting and his sun flower has broken all records in selling for an extraordinary price of fifty million. In addition to those owning a unique talent in arts, some individuals who found the truth before most human-beings hardly established fame for his discoveries, instead, even sometimes they would be sentenced to death by those contemporaries who denied the truth on purpose. Bruno, who developed and spread the Copernicus’ theory that the earth revolves around the sun and was burnt at a stake by Roman inquisition.

 The other respect of this issue is there are also some eminent ones can get recognition and appreciation by their contemporaries. If it is not the case, then we would live in a world without famous ones living around us and the absence of idol and authorities would harm the development of society. In the contemporary world, Hawking is appreciated by most of people even rarely an individual could understand his theory thoroughly. Even the ordinary people can not get the essence of his thought, it does not impede the reverence of the greatest scientist since Einstein.

 On the other hand, we should keep in mind the fact that there are some splendid individuals who earned a reputation during their lifetime have generally been eliminated through time passing by. It does not necessarily mean that their values have diminished and their achievements have no benefit to the modern people. It is in fact the high-pace modern society ignores its great ancestors who can teach a lot of experience and wits to the contemporaries. Confucius, who created a new age by his wits and had a persistent influence on the ancient Chinese are not paid the same emphasis as before. Most of modern people do not have time to learn what the greatest thinker said thousands of years ago even his thoughts actually can server to help some social problems.

 In sum, whether a individual's greatness can be decided by his/her contemporaries depends on the concrete circumstance. Some one who's wit is superior to his/her time might gain the reputation after death, but there are also a lot of eminent ones would be respected by the contemporaries for the achievement gotten in his/her lifetime. On the other hand, we should not overlook some individuals valuable for us but have already been forgotten. Such people also deserve a reputation and enough emphasis.  (45min 596)

130. "How children are socialized today determines the destiny of society. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society."

 
It is true that children determine the future destiny of society and the society should educate children to prepare well for their responsibility. But the speaker unfairly asserts that how children are socialized determine the destiny of society and we have not learnt how to raise children who can help bring about a better society. Consider the children's contribution to the society can be realized by more than one ways and countless children have already be brought about to devote themselves to the well-operation of the society, the speaker's conclusion has flaws in some respects.

 I concede that a socialized child good at communication and cooperation do have several advantages in influencing the society. When such a child grow up, he/she might fit to take the position of politician whose policy would have impacts on every individual's everyday life and the whole society. Such an impact not only can be positive but also negative, just like the different methods Roosevelt and Hitler took in the Great Depression to deliver the nation from suffering. It is their high socialization that resulted in their infectivity and earned them that position to determine the varied destinies of their countries. In view of contemporary society where many tasks can only be accomplished by the cooperation among individuals and even countries, a group spirit which requires one to be well socialized to attain is more important for careers interacting with the development of society. Without a sense of socialization, the world would be separated and powers from diversity persons have no way to be gathered to make efforts for a common goal.

 On the other hand, however, it is premature to judge that only ones who are well socialized have the capacity to influent the society when given the fact that some eminent scientists or artists who are lack of skills of communication but focus themselves on academic or artistic explorations finally turned to achieve goals to give something valuable to the society. Van Gogh, who could not be understood by his coevals/contemporaries not to mention to communicate with them, turned out to have reached a high level in painting. China's famous writer Lu Xun has ever said: I am not a genius but just use the time others spent in tea time for work. We can not expect someone who takes all day long to chat and have coffee with others can concentrate in endeavor and make great achievement. Time is finite and the process of socialization actually carries an opportunity cost in terms of how the result will be when one seizes every minute to work for his/her most important career.

 Turning to the second assertion the speaker makes that we have not yet learnt how to raise children who can help bring about a better society, it is hardly to agree with unless no child educated has given the society something precise.  Admittedly, there is not a programmed way to instill children a sense of responsibility and ensure everyone receive such education will definitely contribute to bring about a better society. Growing is actually a positive rather than a passively process in which children can choose what to accept or not. The adults' role in telling kids right from wrong and what should be done is limited when a child refused to digest the experience learnt from parents or teachers. We can hardly discover a method effective for diverse kids with varied characteristics and thus we can only assure that the ways in which children are raised involves the correct systems of value and viewpoints of the world.

 In sum，children can determine the destiny of society by various means instead of just socialization. Learning this fact helps us to establish confidence that we have the ability to raise children who can make efforts to improve our society.（60min, 634）
