High school and college offer you the best chance to learn broadly — math, history, various sciences — and to do projects with other kids that teach you firsthand about group dynamics.

I read about all kinds of things. 大學(xué)期間，我修了很多不同的課程，但我從頭至尾只選修了一門計(jì)算機(jī)課。s fine to have deep interests, too. 接受的教育應(yīng)該是廣泛的，雖然對(duì)某些領(lǐng)域情有獨(dú)鐘也不失為一件好事。但人家遞給你一本書(shū)并不能自動(dòng)地讓你學(xué)到東西。誰(shuí)要想在我們公司謀職，有畢業(yè)證書(shū)肯定會(huì)優(yōu)先考慮。s early years we had a bright parttime programmer who threatened to drop out of high school to work fulltime.

During the last few minutes before the scheduled landing, Captain Lambrechts did not contact the Brussels airport. Just before 10:00 ., he lowered the wheels of the jet and began his approach to land. But, at the last moment, he pulled the plane up. Perhaps he saw another jet taking off and feared a collision. Or perhaps he already knew that something was wrong with his plane.

A photo was taken of the team members as they stood on the steps of the Sabena Airlines 707 jet. The best of America’s skaters beamed for the camera. Mostly young, they laughed and giggled, their eyes dancing with excitement. This was going to be the time of their lives. 　在紐約，美國(guó)花樣滑冰隊(duì)的18名成員躊躇滿志地登上飛機(jī)。這應(yīng)該怪人們相信廣告嗎？還是該怪社會(huì)縱容廣告誤導(dǎo)人？我進(jìn)入營(yíng)銷業(yè)之后，經(jīng)?？紤]的就是這些問(wèn)題。人們向往變成別的模樣，社會(huì)又推波助瀾，廣告就利用這些來(lái)影響我們?nèi)ハ嘈拍承┬畔ⅲ阂谴┐髋c模特有差距，就不能算漂亮；要是不苗條，曲線不美，就沒(méi)有吸引力；要是其貌不揚(yáng)，就算性格再好，大多數(shù)人還是不會(huì)喜歡我們。廣告給我們看到的是我們身邊的人，但他們只選擇特定的類型。在尋找個(gè)性的過(guò)程中，我所選擇的衣服樣式反映我，顯示我的個(gè)性，表明我是哪種類型的人。大學(xué)里，最初通常沒(méi)有人認(rèn)識(shí)你，所以你想怎樣穿戴都行。男生開(kāi)始留意女生，每個(gè)女生都想打扮得漂漂亮亮。我從不考慮衣
