Please give the reasons and your suggestions. nowadays thousands of employees move from one job to another in rapid succession . Conventional reasons people give for job hopping include lousy bosses, miserable salaries and hostile work environments. Yet the fundamental reason has always been hidden and thus ignored by the general public. The job hopping frenzy can be attributed mainly to the remarkable social changes taking place nowadays. Neither employers nor employees directly link long service with loyalty now. Employers no longer think that the number of employers an individual has worked for provided the best measure of loyalty. This means there is scope for employees to switch jobs with relative ease and take charge of their own progression and development at their own pace. It should be noticed that sometimes employees choose to leave because they find that the jobs or the workplaces are far from what they have expected. The working hours are not as promised, training or promotions don’t e through, and managers may have misrepresented pay offers.

What do you think university education should contain? Universities around the world are now facing the problem of how to efficiently use their resources to serve a larger population of students that are more culturally and socially diversified. To solve the problem, universities should be perfectly aware of their main tasks： providing students with easy access to knowledge and, at the same time, encouraging them to make active contribution to the advancement of human knowledge. Universities should, first of all, be learning munities where knowledge is not only disseminated but also advanced. As fullfledged members of this munity, students should not be information recipients who learn the knowledge in a passive way. Instead, they should be challenged to achieve their potential and, indeed, to excel. Therefore, rather than focus merely on knowledge dissemination and transfer, universities should contrive to provide learning conditions that encourage students to remain curious, to value diversity in opinions and perspectives, and to think critically and municate effectively. In this way, students can gain problemsolving experience and confidence. Furthermore, universities will never attain their goals if they tailor all their courses or programs to meet the needs of specific employers or occupational sectors.

Only those graduates who possess certain personality traits and can do well in diversified situations can distinguish themselves from other job applicants. In order to fulfill the main tasks of universities, university education should contain amply opportunities for independent learning which can cultivate students who are more likely to adapt to the changing society. Students can also learn to exercise their autonomy more effectively and they may clarify their own professional interests while learning in an independent way. 單詞注釋：diversified： adj. 多樣化的 excel： v. 超越，勝過他人 access to： 有權使用 tailor： …制作 advancement： n. 前進，進步 dynamic： adj. 動態(tài)的 disseminate： v. 散步，傳播 turbulent： adj. 動蕩的 fullfledged: adj. 完全合格的 autonomy： adj. 自主，自主權3.

Granted that cultures in various countries start to resemble one another, which is by no means to a large extent, it is still worthwhile to travel to other countries to appreciate what can only be obtained on a foreign soil. Superficially, the world’s culture is merging faster than we expected or could tolerate. That is partly why people get the same experience no matter where they go. If travel means to get on a plane, to s
