Conflict
Most roommate conflicts spring from small, irritating differences rather than from grand disputes over abstract philosophical principles.
For a country as large as china. Its development will possibly trigger some contradictions and frictions.
Contradictions and frictions are not to be feared, and we do not evade contradictions ,because human beings advance by incessantly resolving contradictions in the course of development

Tourism
Tourism has grown to be an activity of worldwide importance and significance. Directly or indirectly , tourism is part of the fabric of the world’s industries, including transportation, retailing, advertising, sports, clothing, the food industry, and health care.
Tourism promotes a better understanding among people worldwide because tourism involves people. By tourism, people with different cultures, economies, traditions, heritage, and religions contact and communicate with each other and such contact and communication make a better understanding possible
As people travel from place to place with a sincere desire to learn more about their global neighbors, knowledge and understanding grow. Tourism plays an important role in building bridges of mutual appreciation, respect and friendship, which has a positive effect on world peace.

Sports
It is very important that the schools offers a wide range of subjects to cater to all the students in their care.
Students need to know how to work in groups to achieve a mutual goal and how to work as a team. Where better to learn those skills than on the sports field? Any of the team sports requires cooperation and coordination with other players, understanding and adopting a team mentality.
Furthermore , it is important to be healthy ,and good health is not so easily achieved in a sedentary society.

Positive:
Many retirees could use their free time to continue working on their own terms, exploring new careers or retooling themselves for some part-time jobs

Winner and loser
The word ”winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us , a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible ,trustworthy ,responsive ,and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society.//对我们而言,不管是作为个人还是社会的一员,胜利者都能真正的承担责任。他们诚信可靠、反应灵敏、待人诚恳。
Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; //胜利者不会献身于某一抽象概念,想象自己应该是什么样的人rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence , and manipulating others. //相反,他们是什么就是什么,从不把精力用在矫揉造作,虚伪迎合,操纵他人之类的事上They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledge and acting knowledge. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.
Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and don’t pretend to have all the answers. //他们能从众多纷杂的说法中找出事情的原味,而不会假装对所有问题都知道答案They listen to others, evaluate what they say , but come to their own conclusion. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined , demolished, bound, or awed by them.//胜利者尽管也佩服并尊重他人,当他们不会被别人完全限制或击败,不会被别人所束缚或慑服
Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the blaming game. Instead ,they assume responsibility for their own lives.//胜利者不会佯装无助,也绝不会玩推诿的把戏。相反,他们会承担起自己的人生责任。
Change of education
The change of educational ideology//教育思想 requires us to widen the sphere of specialties//拓宽专业面, enhance the adaptability//增强适应性, frame a new education mode//构造新的教育模式 to develop comprehensive abilities//协调发展 of the students in such aspects as knowledge, aptitude, intelligence, and personal quality, etc, so as to construct a new mode of fostering qualified and creative personal of diversified specialties at high levels. As regards the quality of education, we should change the traditional concept of classroom teaching mode, which is characterized as teacher-centered instruction//教师单向传授知识 without students’ active participation, with test marks as the sole criterion for judging the effect of education. We should also change the concept of considering scores as the sole criteria for the evaluation of the result of education. We should view some education issues with new standards, such as the criteria for good school, good curricula, good effect of education, good teachers and good students, etc.
In brief, a world-class university cannot come true without reform, nor education reform will succeed without changing traditional educational ideology.
