...Advantage and disadvantage of entrance exams to universities in China and US As we all know, students who want to go to college must take exams which are called “entrance exams to Universities”. College entrance exams are considered to be the unique approach that the students are admitted by the colleges, and a significant factor that determines a student’s future development. They’re even regarded as one of the turning points in their lives. The similarity of the college entrance exams in China and that in the Western countries is that they are both the ways of selecting students for the colleges. Well, it's a must door for all the Chinese senior students to the higher education. It may be considered to be too exam-oriented, or too narrow and strict to the students, however it has last for decades. It is actually useful in choosing talented people. To take an even spectacular example, in order to get a good result, students must be hard working, considerable, insistent and knowledgeable, and these, are just what the society needs. In total, everything exists has a reason. I think the exam is workable in some way, but can still be improved. In China, more than half students take exams on June 17th and 18th, in China. In that day, many students march in the classroom to wait for the examinations. Whatever the weather is hot, they full of confidence and stress to write down their answers. Even though they are ill and cannot give up the test, for they cannot live up to...

...The P.U.H. stands for Personal Underwater Habitat. With my bag of baitfish and my gigantic prize, I swam up to the entrance. This entrance was unlike any other entrance to a home. This entrance was at the bottom of a building attached to seafloor by chains. The P.U.H. was shaped like a half globe with small portholes along the midsection. To an outsider, it looked like I was living in a flying saucer. As I poked my head through I pulled down the cable from the pulley attached to the ceiling. I ran this cable through the dead brown groupers mouth and out through the gills. I quickly threw the bag full of tiny fish onto the habitat’s deck and started to pull the fish up. With the fish finally out of the water, I took my face mask off and unhooked my regulator from the oxygen tank. Slowly, I brought the oxygen tank to the refilling...

...possible. However, the second I saw Nova’s dirty blonde hair make its entrance into this world I knew my thinking was flawed. All the trees in town were barren, their leaves long since made their ways to obscenely large black trash bags and compost piles. November had just said goodbye, while me and my wife we’re anxiously awaiting our chance to say hello to our first-born daughter for the first time. Having been carrying the burden of two for every bit of two hundred and eighty days, my wife was exhausted. We spent hours on every mommy blog we could find -- filtering through all the myths on how to naturally induce labor in hopes of finding something that actually worked. We tried them all; Spicy foods and certain teas, but, as one would expect, none of them worked. That is until we read about how walking could help encourage labor. While it might have been coincidence, during a short walk around the block my wife’s contractions started screaming it was time....

...Parenting in Today’s China: Concerns, Anxiety, and Commitment* Dr. Gan Wang, Associate Senior Research, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing Since the late 1990s, there has been a proliferation of parenting discussion forums (BBS) on the Internet in China. On the BBS, many young parents with higher education keep records of their children’s development, socialize with other parents, first in the virtual space, then in real space., communicate knowledge of childrearing and ECE, and discuss and debate over many issues in early childhood. In an earlier paper of mine, I claim that the Internet provides a new kind of social space in which the young mothers assert their new identity. Today, I’ll concentrate on one special debate issue. Examining the debate, I propose that to better understand challenges and concerns facing Chinese parents, a cultural historical approach should be adopted. Viewing parenting BBS, you often see great concerns and anxieties over the issue whether young children should “learn things”. To study or not to study, that is the question. There are some stories on the internet by ambitious parents who teach their children to recite dozens of Chinese classic poems at the age of 2, to recognize over a thousand Chinese characters and start to read at the age of 3, and play piano at the age of 4. Some of these parents keep record of their children’s progress in these studies and post on the Internet. Other parents might ask them in details and learn...

...A CHOICE THAT MATTERED By Jery Althaf-12M34 At last, the day of the test arrived. I prayed to God not to get a good rank for medicine, else my parents would force me to follow through, and I didn’t want to oppose them. But I had no clue whether I would score well in engineering. I ended up performing averagely in both exams. Any Indian graduate especially in Kerala dreams of becoming a doctor. My parents pressured me to opt for medicine as a career. I recently happened to read George Orwell’s “Shooting an elephant”. Just as Orwell, an imperialist officer who hated imperialism had a dilemma; I too because of my parents was in a similar situation. The issue of moral dilemma and question of choice always come before us. Life places us in different scenarios, where we have to take a choice that influences our life a lot thereafter. Orwell had to take a decision whether to shoot a mad elephant or not. He did not want to shoot it, but external factors made him act against his values. Yes, the instance of moral dilemma did happen to me too. It could have totally changed where I am and what I am: it could have changed my dreams and my life drastically. Any dilemma is a question that requires you to invest your time, your thoughts and then act. Act only when you are sure: when you are sure of what you believe, then you shall never repent for your choice and you shall never question your identity. You will lose yourself once you have succumbed to the pressure of society. In fact,...

...new candidates it is reducing the possibility of a more qualified person even attempting due to overreaching pre requirements. The Department of Homeland Security sponsored a national research project that found realistically such professionalization can only be undertaken for specific occupations within the field, but not for the field as a whole. Depending on who you seem to ask depends on if you are told that drawing in every applicable candidate and then attempting to weed them out, or by over filtering the entrance requirements so that only the most ethical and moral are accepted into the cybersecurity field. We have found out in the past that most of the more successful individuals are the ones who are self-taught such as hackers. At the moment it seems that no set way of devising a realistic way to professionalize the cybersecurity field has been implemented across national standards. One of the ideas that has been presented was through different entrance exams to show proficiency and to mandate extended learning over the course of the employees stay with the companies...

...Attractiveness, is the innovative appearance that pleasures the eyes and mind. Such beauty that creates a pleasing attainment of design upon arrival. These elements must accommodate one another to develop a successful relationship between public external space and personal interior space. On the street of Roosevelt way, lies a local University Branch library, with parking spaces along both sides, a bike rack on the right side near the entrance and a crosswalk at the traffic light to ensure a parking area for those who have come with different ways of transportation. This demonstrates Vitruvius’ utility element in architecture. The exterior spaces of the library is cleverly laid out with two sets of large stairs leading up to the main entrance in the center. This forms an isolation between the busy streets and library. By erecting the building further away from the main road, yet still inviting, it will allow library goers to study or read without any disturbances. Inside, consists of three major spaces, the customer service desk which is aligned with the entrance and the division of study spaces on both the left and the right side. The studying and reading...
