PartI Writing

Scienceor Humanities

When deciding to major in science or humanities at college, many students find themselves in a dilemma. Personally, the former is advisable for the following two reasons.

Firstly,in a society where more importance is attached to material civilization, it is natural to follow suit by majoring in science, so that one can hopefully make great contributions to the world in the future. As the very basis for spiritual enlightenment, material development is closely knitted with academic studies of science. For example, the daily appliances can not be invented without a comprehensive knowledge about physics and chemistry. Secondly, evidently, the significance of humanities—the pearl of mankind knowledge—cannot be exaggerated too much. However, since most subjects of humanities can be attained along withour personal development, it is axiomatic that we should focus more on the more challenging knowledge at college—science.

To conclude, both science and humanities have their distinctive lusters. But in view of practicality and difficulty, it is advisable that science be studied as a major at college.

Part IV Translation

   The Ming Dynasty, which ruled China for 276 years when the country enjoyed good governance and social stability, was depicted as one of the greatest periods of human history. During this period,the thriving handicrafts industry fostered the development of market economy and urbanization. Commodities, including alcohol and silk products, were available on the market in large quantities. At the same time, clocks and tobacco products, among many other foreign goods, were imported. Beijing, Nanjing,Yangzhou and Suzhou emerged as large commercial centers one after another. It was also during the Ming Dynasty that fleets headed by Navigator Zheng He made seven large-scale, adventurous voyages to the Indian Ocean. What is also worth mentioning is that three of the Four Great Classical Novels of China were written during this period.
