This is especially true for young students making the transition (过渡) to college life.“Sometimes, students dont realize how hard it is to adjust适应 to college，” said Laura Smith, associate dean of students at the University of Texas at Dallas. “Youre not the big fish in your classes anymore; you have all kinds of personal stress; youre away from home. “Dealing with these things is not easy. ”Students who are going through these problems sometimes want to reach out. But if students dont feel comfortable seeking help, many feel that its the responsibility of their university to help them.“I really wish that there was more importance placed on how counseling (咨询)centers help students，” said Connie Trinh. “Counseling services are just as important as academics and sports. ”Trinh, 27, graduated from Texas Womans University in 2020.

Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past twenty years, the Chinese study programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the old Chinese wisdom to make up for the weaknesses of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for theold thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is forgotten.12.
