4、ublic safety. If someone knowingly rides in a car with a drunk driver, they are aiding a crime. Hence, it is necessary and rational to impose certain punishment on passengers for drunk driver. However, a majority of others are opposed to a penalty for passengers. For a citizen to be penalized, he or
5、 she must have violated the law. As far as passengers go, they share a car with a drunk driver, but are not driving themselves, nor have they encouraged anyone to drive under the influence. Therefore, to punish them is legally groundless. In my point of view, although the proposal reflects the urgen
6、cy and determination to crack down on drunk driving, penalizing passengers seems to go too far. 2 【正确答案】 Should New Graduates Lower Job Expectations? Nowadays, most graduates are faced with a tight job market, so many people think that new graduates should lower their job expectations. After all, it
7、 is more practical for them to accept a worse-than-expected offer than remain jobless after graduating. Furthermore, whatever jobs new graduates get, they can obtain valuable working experience, giving them confidence for more demanding jobs in future. However, some others argue that new graduates l
8、ose their grounds if they lower job expectations. They believe that a good beginning is half the battle. In this sense, new graduates should start their careers from an expected point. In addition, the long-term investment in education should not be aimed at a low return. Personally, I side with the
9、 former opinion. It is an indisputable reality that todays university students are losing their shine, so degrees and diplomas cannot guarantee a new graduates success any longer. Lowering job expectations demonstrates a more positive approach to job hunting taken by new graduates. 3 【正确答案】 Should C
10、hinese Take a Backseat to English in Higher Education? There is a strange “tradition“ in Chinas higher education, which sees English language courses being compulsory while Chinese is optional. Supporters for this practice hold that Chinese, the students mother tongue, should and can be achieved at
11、the early ages. Furthermore, given the strained job market in China, its reasonable for university students to turn to English. However, most people advocate giving Chinese a bigger role in higher education. They believe that Chinese, as a knowledge reserve, provides students with more access to Chi
12、nese culture and Chinese learning and will breed more knowledgeable and well-educated students. So the mother tongue should be cherished in higher education. As far as I am concerned, I am inclined to be on the side of the latter view. Chinese is the legacy of the whole nation that represents profou
13、nd culture and national spirit. Chinese learning, as an indispensable part through ones whole life, will be of great help in tradition cultivation. Therefore, no matter which stage of education we are in, we should attach great importance to Chinese. 4 【正确答案】 Who Should Be Our Superstars? If you ask
14、 a female student who her favorite star is, you can almost predict exactly her answer; one of the Korean TV heroes, popular singers, and so on. On the male side, they are fans of footballers, NBA players, etc. About these superstars, these students almost have encyclopedic knowledge. They even save
15、money and play truant to attend concerts or games. However, elites in other fields obviously draw less attention. Few students can tell the names of prestigious college presidents. And few can brief the stories of Nobel Prize winners. Undoubtedly, these people are the backbone of our society who hav
16、e made more concrete contribution to social development. This phenomenon should not be taken lightly. As one big shot said, “Tell me your hero and I can say what your future is like. “ College students who want to be managers, political leaders, or professors, should not follow suit and spend spare

After serious thinking, we can find three possible r
18、easons accounting for this trend. First of all, the expansion of universities provides chances for more students to receive higher education, while the job market cannot develop at the same speed. Whats more, the situation gets even worse with those students who uniformly chosse the “ hot“ majors su
19、ch as economics and accounting. In the third place, many students think too highly of themselves they will not choose to work at all if they are not satisfied with the job. They may think the pay is not satisfactory or the job is not decent at all. The solutions to this problem seem more than clear on this occasion. The government should help create more job opportunities; university authorities should be extremely careful in expanding enrollment, taking the job market into consideration. Students also should think twice before making the decision.
