Education a. courses OG 124,Governments should spend more money in support of the arts than in the athletics, like an Olympic team.Art is long while life is short. Art is a diversified form to improve the spiritual life of human being, ranging from the ancient carved mural in the caves to the modern abstract Impressionism. However, it does not worth the governments investment, since the limited budget should be put on more pragmatic use such as encouraging the athletics, earns honor for country.

A serious and strict teacher can control the class to proceed smoothly. In Chinese middle school, students bear high pressure to survive in the national entrance examination. A strict teacher can input a great deal of knowledge and force them to recite, practice and master accordingly. On the contrary, a humorous teacher might be popular in class, but much of time is squandered in teasing and laughing, which distracts students from academic study. Meanwhile, students at middle school, are still immature and lazy, who need to be chained and guided by a strict teacher to get a short cut.

Government seems to play a less essential role in solving the problems ranging from education to employment. However, the governments indispensible status still embodies in the social welfare, public facilities construction and macro-economy regulation. The government, through collecting taxes from individuals, controls abundant budget to balance the gap between rich and poor, keeping social stabilities. Every country, western or eastern, developed or developing, owns large number of tattered/ pauper men, who can hardly feed their stomach, sleep on the cold bench, bearing severe chill in winter. Celebrities and some charity organizations might offer some help by donation clothing and food occasionally, but the all-round solution is decided by the government, which holds power to distribute subsidy fairly. 20070922CThe extended family (grandparent, cousin, aunts, and uncles) has become less important in modern society than the past. 20081115CParents cant control children.

The wooden paper and printed smell remind me that it is a real medium to reflect authors mind. However, does printed book have greater influence on peoples lives than TV? Personally, I think that printed books, similar to the mirrors of that time and space, reflects the wisdom of a person of a group of people, owning greater impact. To start with, printed books are the time capsule to store the historical event, influencing the ideology of the offspring. Standing in the library in each university, with the special smell of print or ink, one can date back to the history and learn from our precedent.
