Question

【题目】 Giving up studying in China’s top universities is truly surprising. It’s reported that two young people dropped out of Tsinghua University after they found they had no interest in their majors (专业). They took the CEE (college entrance examinations) again. Luckily, they passed the exams and studied new majors in Peking University. Their actions have come under hot discussion among the public.

Supporters praise the two students for being brave enough to chase (追逐) their goals.

1 We shouldn’t blame (责怪) those who are willing to take a risk and take the CEE again. It’s OK for everyone to choose their favourite major for a better career in the future.

2 The two students prove that life is full of changes and possibilities. They set up an example of the power of courage in changing lives.

However, those who are against their actions criticize them for being capricious (任性的).

1 By dropping out after studying for a period of time, the two students have wasted educational resources, which could have been provided for others.

2 The two students were not wise enough to choose their majors when they first applied to go to college. Their actions should be a warning to other young people instead of being followed.
