1) Teachers can be a supplementary instrument of parenthood. After all, young kids may stay longer with teachers than their parents in kindergartens or nurseries. Most children take teachers as their idols, even more superior to their parents.

2) To be frank, teachers treat students more fairly than parents. They neglect the blood hood or family affection, which is conducive to the cultivation of students’ social responsibility or humanity.

3) Teachers can be everywhere. We can learn from each of our peers, no matter how close or separate we are. Parents are unique, but teachers can be versatile.

Thus, the true image will be clearer for you to decide which path you will take, saving the unnecessary trouble to locate the personality and character in career development.

少小离家/出国留学/移民/远离父母/“吃苦”夏令营的坏处:

1) lower your studying efficiency. Lacking in social experience to separate the sheep from the goats, the young adults may meet with malfeasance, thus suffering from the setbacks after entry

into the society.

2) easily mentally distracted/absent-minded, because most young adults are in adolescence, overcurious about the outside world. Any fresh things may disturb them from routine study

3) What’s even worse, some of them may go astray to commit crimes, leading to the higher rate of juvenile delinquency. Flexibility reaches its peak when people just graduate from university and join in the workplace fresh and new. However, it deteriorates once you become accustomed to the work pattern and fit in the working environment. Thus, achievement of practice and expertise is, to some extent, at the cost of flexibility and ingenuity. When you are not a fish in the pool, you have become sort of sophisticated。

贫国和富国差距越来越大的原因：

1) AUTHORITIES The underprivileged / underdeveloped/poverty-striken countries lack necessities and prerequisites for development such as convenient transportation and communication network, sophisticated technology, profuse/abundant investment and capital, and high-leveled talents and elites, which hampers them from rapid and sustainable development.

2) INDIVIDUAL The underprivileged/developing countries lack awareness and consciousness for a sustainable and comprehensive development. Most developing countries progress and “prosper” at the cost of natural resources, ecological loss, even instability of financial maneuver, thus slowing the pace of development in the long run.

3)Historical perspective: The happiness of the developed countries is based on the misery of developing countries. So they develop at different starting levels. Economic perspective: Since the essence of globalization is centralization, which means wealth is in the hands of a few groups/minorities, this shows that as long as globalization exists, it will widen the gap between the minorities and the mass.

Political/military perspective: Superpower imposes hegemony/sanctions on the small and middle powers, curding// intervening their development with unfair treatment.

高频考题：

Should policemen carry the gun?

Should the capital punishment be adopted?

Should children be punished physically?

Should the pedestrians be fined?

赞成：1)a warning to//deter the possible criminals; a sense of relief to the citizens

2)protect the citizens concerned and the police staff to avoid more severe consequence raise their sense of social responsibility

反对3)The government should first improve the police staff’s proficiency in handling the on-the-spot crimes and emergencies by allocating more revenue to the social security agency, equipping them with more sophisticated weapons or communicational facilities and giving them a better training or moral education. Without preliminary consolidation of police’s abilities, policemen with gun would rather be a social threat to society. In USA, crimes conducted by police is an existing thorny problem. Prevention is better than cure. Gun is just the ultimate symbol of punishment. Polishing the legal mechanism is the key to guaranteeing the social security. Furthermore, more severe punishment such as lengthening sentences will be a warning to the frequent law-breakers. Raising the citizens’ A&C for supervising the social security altogether is a routine task for all levels of government. Only by collective and coordinative force can the crimes be utterly alleviated.
