part 11.How successful do you think the "crab story" is?I think the "crab story" is a great success.First of all,let's look back to the "crab story":One crab was trying to climb out,but pulled back by others.And it defy his fellow captives.Without luck,he gave up his struggle to escape and stop others trying to escape.The crabs could have escaped from the basket.But other crabs changed his attitute.The point is that we may act like the crabs when choosing our jobs.So the two things have a lot in common.So it is obvious that father want to tell the son not to be pulled back by others and get to know himself better.What is more,after experienced catching the crabs,the son understood the truth himself.It is much better compared to the father telling the truth to him.Finally,he made up his mind to do what he wanted to do.2.How can you get a balance between enjoying life now and preparing for the future?I think we can get a balance between enjoying life now and preparing for the future.First of all,I think it is necessary for us to figure out what we want to do in the future and we now need to work hard to preparate for our plans.However,our alloted time is finite,so we need to make good use of it.I mean,we not only live for the future,but for now.Preparations will not take the whole part of your life.Sometimes we should put our dreams on the back burner and use our spare time to do things we want to do for the present.Because time is ticking away.To some ectent,our life is like a salad bowl in the buffet.We should carry as much into the bowl as we can if we are ingenious enough.So we can try our best to make the best of time and we can enjoy our lives while preparing forthe future.3.As a child, which dreams, sights, sounds and feelings did you share with Sylvia Plath? Do you still have them now?As a ordinary child,I also had dreams about flying. But I dreamed I had a pair of wings instead of being a superman. But I never dream of tumbling from the sky.I also remember pink sunsets which were similar to her description.However,I lived in a town,there weren't any beacons.Since I lived near the road,I had the noise of the cars instead of the droning sounds of planes.What is more,I am also a huge superman fan.Unfortunately,as a university student,I seldom dream of flying and hasn't heard the noise of cars for a long time.I also care little about the sunsets.But superman is still my hero,and I want to be a hero.4.What general factors influence the way parents bring up their children?I think the folowing factors have an influence on the way parents bring up their children.The fisrt one, which is thought of the most important one,is the cuture in their society.For example,to the Beng,the child is a gift from the God,so they take great care of them.On the contrast,the Tonga think children are incompetent so they always punish their children.Secondly,the history factors.Some areas have a long history of discriminating women and nowadays women stil can not run on a par with men.And economics also influences the way.Think of the children in colonia America and nowadays America.The former are much poorer so they had to help earnmoney.Besides,other factors,such as educational backgrounds,social disasters alao inflence the way parent bring up theri children.5.How do you listen to music? Which of the musical planes do you relate to the most?I listen to music only for the sheer pleasure of the musical sound itself.So I think I relate to the sensuous plane the most.I love music,it help me relex myself.Evetime I feel tired I would turn on my computer and search for the ideal music.So it is usual for me to listen to music while doing my homework.I admit I'm not a qualified music lover and I never go to a concert.I listen to music without thinking it in any way.I care little about its musical elements and expressive side.I was attracted by its potent and primitive force.When I listen to it,I can come to an ideal world without the worries of the real life.Maybe I will listen to music on the sensuous plane for a long time.6.Is the role of art to represent reality? Do you think that modern art is sometimes too modern?I don't think so.Actually,most art has several of the following purposes in different combinations.The first one is to show realism.And the second one is to express feelings whether they were realistic or not.The last one is to make people think about reality.Therefore,it is neccessary for it to represent reality.As for the modern art,to some extent,it does can stretch our imagination and challenge our understanding.But as far as I'm concerned,it's too abstract.I have lots of troubles in understanding the modern art.Maybe it's because of my limitted intellect and knowledge on art.But I do hope it can be less abstract so that more people can understand the it.7.What changes have happened to working in corporate America? Does the writer approve of these changes?Nowadays it is hard enough for us to vusualize what work is in corporate America.It has become more abstract.This society does not produce anything valuable anymore.People associated with machines are thought of making junks.To many people, work simply means sitting in an office to make phone calls and to deal with paperwork.It is clear the writer dispprove of these changes.He had written about the society and work in a sarcastic way to make readers reflect on the society.The writer try to make fun of people who spend their time in offices.So he certainly didn't approve of the changes.8.Do you think we have too much technology? Will we ever reach a point when no more technological innovation is possible?It is no doubt that we have made many unprecedent,dazzling changes since last century.More and more technology is invented.But I don't think we have too much technology and I don't think we will reach a point when on more technological innovation is possible.You can see now ,our society is still developing.a lot of technological development is driven by the market.We can still feel the progress in the speed.Devolpment is endless.In the future,many more inventions will come out on the base of nowaday technology.Then we will call it a new technological innovation.9.What forms of prejudice are you aware of in society? Which do you think are the most harmful, and why?It is obvious that this would be a long list.There is racial prejudice and religous prejudice between those who believe in a religion and also between those who believe in a religion and those whodon't at all.What's more,there's prejudice between men and women and prejudice of social rank and wealth between those who have money and those who don't.As for the most harmful one,it's really hard to make a devision.I think the racial prejudice is most harmful.Because people in the race which is discriminated can't not get as many opportunities as ordinary people even if they're competent.That's unfair.It radically hurt a race .People can be treated fairly.10.Why is it difficult to do international business?I think it's mainly due to the lack of cutural awareness.We see,people come from different countries have different culture so that they have different opinions on how relationships are formed and maintained,and how negotiations may proceed.For example,many international business is prevented by differnt opions on the role of indivisual and group.Many companies believe that business is done by a company while other companies insist that there should be a intermediary who they trust.So many times companies can't understant each other well.The differnece will make the business hard to proceed.That is the effect of cutural awareness.11.Do you think that extraordinary events like 9/11 can make ordinary people into heroes? Yes,of course.Many ordinary people try their best to help others and show their remarkable courage and kindness in the extraordinary events like 9/11.And we say they have the factors of being heros so that they have the honor of being heros.We can also saw many examples of that during Sichuan eathquake and Yushu earthquake.Many ordinary people devoted their lives in order to save others.For example,TanQianqiu,who was an ordinary teacher before the Sichuan earthquake,became a hero when he saved his students at the cost of his life.Now we can say,extraordinary events like 9/11 give the ordinary people a chance to do heroic things which make them heros.12.What do you think was Eleanor Roosevelt’s greatest achievement?I think her UN work had the greatest influence around the world.As a leader of delegates,she became the foremost advocate for human rights.And named as the first chair of the UN Human Rights,she oversaw the two-year process of drafting and securing passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.We can say,without Eleanor there would not be such a document like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.It was because of her continuous struggle that people realized the rights of mankind more clearly.Part 21.Is it part of a university's role to help students choose a career?Yes,I think so.Nowadays,many university students have troubles in choosing their careers.It is mainly due to the fact that they don't know exactly about their identities and the foreground of their majors.As a result,there needed to be a university.It has the responsibility of making students understand more about their majors.For example,what jobs can they choose since they have chosen the majors and maybe they can choose other majors on the base of their majors.It is part of a university's role to make students understand the foreground of different jobs relating to their majors.What is more,it is also part of a university's role to help students understand themselves better.It should help them know what they exactly want to do in the future.Then theycan work hard for their goals.By the way,university is a place were students can develop themselves so that they can be able to choose a better job.In a word,universities have the responsibility to provide compedent people fo the society,so they should direct students to choose their careers well.2.Does your childhood memory exert a deep influence upon your growing up?Yes,of course.Childhood is a very important part of my life.I used to dream a lot when I was a child.I used to dream of being a bird flying freely.And the importance of these dreams is to make me keep my imagination while I was growing up.I think imagination is very important for human beingS.So nowadays,I still favor cartoons.They make me imagine.That sense is so great.On the other hand,I like to listen to heroic stories when I was young.So I have a dream of being a hero.Though it is hard for me to make it come true.But it did make me work hard and do my own job well .Because I know it is the basic way to become a hero.In fact,my childhood memory have more influence on my growing up and these are two main influence.3.Which do you prefer, live music or recorded music?I really think it is hard to make a choose.Both of them attract me.I like live music,because all the audience concentrate their attention on the music when listening to the singer.All the people sing together and enjoy the great pleasure of music.That sounds great.However,I think recorded music suits me bette.r.Since I listen to music on the senuous plane,I like to listen to music while doing something else.I can change the music as I like and I can also listen to one music repeatedly.That what the live music can not give me.So if I have to make a choice,I choose the recorded music.4.Which do you favor, new technology or the traditional way of doing things?Compared with the traditional way of doing things,new technology attracts me more.So to speak,it is hard for most people in modern society to survive without the new techonology.How can we imagine one day all of us do things in traditional way?I appreciate for the new techonology to make us lead a more colorful life.For example,nowadays most of us sit in front of the computers doing our work instead of running up and down to make money in traditional society.With the help of computer,we can get the information from all over the world in several seconds and comunication with people all over the world.Let's take the transportation for another example,in traditional society,it would take a long time for students like me to go home.But nowadays ,you can see,it only takes you several hours to go aboard if you take a plane.New techonology have too many advantages to describe.In word,I favor new techonology more than traditional way of doing things.5.Which kind of society is stronger, an “individualist”or a “collectivist”one? Why?I think the “collectivist”society is stronger than the individualist”one.Firstly,I want to emphasize that we can do nothing without the group.It is obvious that all the things we get nowadays,including the clothes,the food and the houses come from people coporations.Even if most of the knowledge we are learning is due to our preceding generation's efforts.As the great scientist NewTon once said,"I was standing on the sholders of great men to see the world."Secondly,I want to suggest how strong the “collectivist”society is.People nowadays still speak highly of the development of the period of industrial revolution.But few of them realize itis because of the fact that the group was full of creative thoughts that made this development possible.The inventions of one person lead to the inventions of others.People got ideas from one another.That is so-called coporation.6.Who was the greater hero: Richard Picciotto or Eleanor Roosevelt? Why?First of all,I want to say both of them are heros.If I have to choose a greater hero I would choose Richard Picciotto.She used her power and influence to do good.As the first lady,she could have just had a pleasant life looking after her own private concerns.But she chosed not to do so.And her UN work had the greatest influence around the world.Without Eleanor there would not be such a document like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.It was because of her continuous struggle that people realized the rights of mankind more clearly.She is really a great woman.She had done so much for people around the world.She is a great hero.。
