The biggest benefit for express coming to peoples life is to bring convenience. However, it is a tragedy that students sending their dirty clothes becomes a new postal service. Not sweeping a house, how can he sweep the world?If they dont wash their own dirty clothes, how can they wash away the dust of their body and their dirt in mind?Independence and hard struggle are Chinese traditional virtue, which cannot be abandoned at any time.

What we see are only enjoyment and luxury, and“the beat generation”. The hope of a nation is in education, and the hope of education is in talents. The college students as the“Gods favored ones”are the main force to construct the state.

Lu Xun yelled once“save the children”. Now should we also shout“help the students”?What kind of students should college cultivate?What kind of students should university teacher teach out?What kind of talents should parents expect their children to be?What kind of talents will the state and society need?These questions need the thinking of the whole society. 【文章大意】由于快递业务的便捷, 眼下, 高校学生把积攒的脏衣服寄洗, 再通过快递寄回来, 成了邮政的一种新业务。然而很多人对这种做法产生了反感。5.
