As a student looking forward to college, you have many 【小题1】 (choose) ahead of you. What will be your major? You'll need to decide what interests you as 【小题2】 long-term career and determine what major offers you a greater chance 【小题3】 (help) you reach your goals. Majors can 【小题4】 (break) down into several areas including liberal arts (文科)and "Science, Technology, Engineering and Math''， perhaps better known as STEM.

Liberal arts degrees are made up of a number of majors 【小题5】 are not related to science, technology, engineering or math. For example, language arts, literature and philosophy 【小题6】 (be) some popular majors in liberal arts.

When it comes to choosing liberal arts or STEM, you should look 【小题7】 (close) at what you like doing. While liberal arts degrees can set you up for future success, they lean towards people-focused careers, such as teaching, humanities and public service. STEM focuses more 【小题8】 products — whether you are building a hospital or 【小题9】 (create) a program, the output of your career is more product-focused. Besides, students graduating with STEM degrees usually have 【小题10】 (high) starting salaries than those with liberal arts degrees.

Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will【小题1】( probable) say that they go to school to learn languages, maths, history, science and some other knowledge. That is quite true, but【小题2】do they learn these things?

We send our children to school【小题3】( prepare) them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that【小题4】only reason why they go to school?

There is【小题5】( many) in education than just 【小题6】(learn) truth. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school we can continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be【小题7】(success )，because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, but also be able to teach others how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, 【小题8】the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or just【小题9】(do) it badly. The purpose of schools, therefore,is not to teach languages, maths, history, science, etc., but also teach【小题10】( pupil) the way to learn.

Parents these days seem to protect their children more than ever before. And yet the truth is that children must 【小题1】 (give) the opportunity to take risks in order to aid their development. By the time a child becomes an adult, he needs to learn 【小题2】 they can deal with the success and failure connected with risk-taking. It is a real shame that nowadays there are many children 【小题3】 (miss) out on typical childhood activities such as tree climbing. That is mostly because of their parents’ fear of 【小题4】 (injure), especially as many of those parents may have enjoyed such activities when they were growing up.
