2007年专八作文范文 第1篇

When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.

At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story's development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu'why you be the scapegoat of your father?' Xu answers 'because he is Chinese.' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.

The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu's boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won't beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.

Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children's right. What's more, I remember a line 'No one won the case, especially the child.' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.

The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades 'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says 'I have to follow the procedure.' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.

The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says 'you can't fall, your health security is the company paid.' 'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.' 'dady, why you come from the window' ' because we don't have a chimney.' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.

That's my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.

The Role of Luck in Success

It has been said that when people succeed, it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success. Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people, I must disagree with this statement. It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in success. For example, many important discoveries have been made by accident. There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device. Furthermore, there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity. And of course, there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success.

While the influence of luck cannot be ignored, this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard work. If one is willing to work hard, I believe that success will eventually be achieved, with or without the added benefit of luck. Moreover, hard work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky encounter. If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills, he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes along. Therefore, my suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you success. Instead, work hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.

Faced with the question whether it is worthwhile to spend a year or two voluntee ？？ring in western China， many college students would probably shake their heads， seeing it as a waste of valuable learning time. However， I will give an affirmative answer without hesitation， because this experience can apparently benefit us in many ways.

First， it is a great opportunity for us to apply the knowledge we have acquired at college. Different from temporary part-time jobs， a longer volunteer work experience is truly fulfilling and rewarding. As English majors， we can learn to use and teach the language effectively in real classes; as education majors， we can experiment with those textbook theories in helping manage a school or instruct the younger; those who study engineering can take this chance to turn their ideas and skills into running machines， new bridges and broad roads. From this experience， we will better understand our schoolwork and even build up considerable expertise in our chosen fields.

Second， we can gain a great sense of satisfaction by making contributions in an underdeveloped region. Right now， the western China is suffering from both the short ？？age of resources and that of talents in its course of development. If we can step into the needed roles by simply sacrificing a year or two， we will be able to make some differ？？ence to the situation as a whole. Imagine how proud you will be when telling your fami？？ly and friends how you have taught the illiterate to read， and how you have helped to change the look of a backward town. Compared with the great sense of pride you feel， a year‘s time is just a small price to pay.

Third，we can establish a deep friendship with local people. On the one hand， if you truly love and help the people you work with， they naturally love and help you back. Take a senior I know for example， who served two months as a teacher in a dry northwestern town. During the period of water shortage， both his students and their parents voluntarily kept water for him， sometimes despite their own need. Recalling his days there， he said they were not easy but he could not help missing them. Probably many volunteers would feel the same as him. While we are giving care， support and help， we often get back more including a lasting friendship.

Therefore，I will readily sign up to volunteer in the western China despite various challenges I may meet. Think of the differences we can make there and the changes this experience can make to us， why not walk out of the ivory tower and step onto the promising land of our country？

Delivery Ability Matters or the Contents?

In college，it is claimed that students are given the right to select their courses in line with their personal ，in actuality，college students have to take some compulsory courses and some required selective those occasions，professors will find in their lectures students are absent-minded and hence interactions with students in class can not be easily people think that if professors are eloquent enough and have excellent delivery ability，their class will be students，the contents of professors’lectures seem less ，we can not simply assume that which one is more important than the should make specific analysis.

Firstly what matters is undoubtedly the contents for compulsory courses or selective courses，students are required to acquire basic knowledge or want to learn what interests them. It is ridiculousto suspect that professors are professors can stand in front of students and are givinglectures，they are experienced and know more than students after years of research and teaching. For college students，they are required to attentively listen to professors and take notes so that they this sense， when students are busy absorbing what professors are instructing in class，they will become less fussy about professors’delivery skills.

Secondly，for professors，it is their responsibility to have a full preparation for lectures and to deliver effectively the contents of their lectures to the contents can fulfill students’needs，excellent delivery skills will arouse students’interest and hold their attention for a long the fact that students can not select their favorite courses according to their own interests and preferences，professors should make more efforts to prepare for course，each professor has formed his own style after years of teaching. But students in different periods have different characters andneeds;professors can not simply apply their styles to all students. While students in the past might regard professors’ delivery style funny， current students are likely to dislike the style and consider it outdated and manipulative.

On all accounts， as we can reach different conclusion from different perspectives， we can not simply determine delivery ability mattersmore than the contents or vice interesting teaching styles andcontent-loaded contents make professors popular among students，college students should not forget that they are required to acquire knowledge in class.

As economic globalization accelerates, language plays a vital role in cross-boundary communication. An international language like English is inevitably popular among language learners all over the world. And there is a widespread concern whether or not to go abroad for one's English study. To me the answer is undoubtedly a yes, since it provides a chance not only to learn the language, but also to understand the culture.

First of all, going to an English-speaking country is a better way to create an ideal language-learning environment. As it is said, when in Rome, do as Romans do. Thus it can be inferred that a better way to learn how Romans behave is to go to Rome and observe their way of life. It is also true with English study. In an English-speaking country, one is likely to be exposed to more chances to communicate with native speakers rather than being confined to book knowledge only. On his stay in London, a student will have a taste of royal English himself, thus it is easier for him to improve his pronunciation and intonation through imitation. Surrounded by native speakers, a language learner will also find it very helpful in improving other skills like speaking, reading and writing.

Moreover, a student going abroad not only enhances their language proficiency but also comes into direct interplay with a new culture, which is an integral part of language study. Some linguists maintain that one cannot fully grasp a language unless he knows about the culture profoundly, for language is only a medium to conduct communication. Thus living with English-speaking people, one can obtain a vivid first-hand understanding of some idioms, slang and the cultural background And this personal experience will be very difficult to achieve-whatever abundant study resources can be accessed to domestically. By chatting with native speakers in daily life, students can gain an insight in the culture.

Judging from all the analysis above, we may safely come to such a conclusion that going to an English-speaking country is advantageous for English learners. A study experience abroad is such a practice to double the achievements with half the efforts. Fully utilizing the chance to get a deeper involvement in the exotic culture, students may become real masters of English.

———题记

语文就像是一首玲珑的五言诗，于平平仄仄之中给人以清新的意蕴；语文又像是一幅空灵的山水画，于点染勾勒中给人以深邃的感悟；语文更像是一泓清泉，在心灵的小池里注入源头活水，由此，天光云影共徘徊。

八年前我刚上小学，马上就迷上了语文。那一个个方块字里的奇妙，那一个个故事中的曲折无不带给我喜悦。今天，八年级的我依旧热爱着它。

语文，最初的梦想

我还记得刚开始学写字，老师让我们一笔一划，有起笔，收笔，笔锋。每天都要完成一篇字，第二天老师就讲评。老师指着我的练字本给大家分析，说现在全班就只有马宁宁做到了有笔锋。那个时候小，把老师的话当成圣旨，把老师的肯定认为是唯一目标。就因为这小小的鼓励，我甚至想将来要当一个书法家。能在偌大的白纸上大笔一挥，龙飞凤舞地写字，该是多么美好而惬意。

因为语文，铸造了我最初的梦想。

语文，学习的热爱

对未知知识的好奇与探索，我总是在课后研究作业，通常是讲第一篇课文，我已经做到后几篇课文的作业了，虽然错误率可能会稍高，但我不亦乐乎。做错有什么，改正过来学到得。老师在语文课上就经常夸我，说我的作业写得好，也写得好。于是，我便一直坚持着。多年来，我沿用了这个习惯。

因为语文，我对学习充满的热爱。

语文，五彩的世界

人类的发展离不开文字，没有文字就没有思考，没有文字就没有文化，没有文字就没有我们发达的科技。文字是记忆最好的载体，而语文就是文字的'延展。我们的思考都体现在作文中；科学家的发现都体现在论文中；国家的政策都体现在法律中。我们以后的人生将更加需要语文，路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。对于语文这个无止无休的学问，我将永远热爱它。

因为语文，我有了五彩的世界。

语文啊，你铸造了我最初的梦，你给了我对学习的热爱，你给了人类数不尽的财富。如此，我怎能不爱你。

如今，浮泛在诗与爱与梦的泉流上，我侧耳聆听语文知性优雅的声音，汩汩，汩汩……

2007年专八作文范文 第7篇

With the development of globalization, there are an increasing number of scholars these days who hold the opinion that we need a common language to be spoken by all the people in the world. However, other scholars are afraid that this will weaken other languages and cultures at the same time. As for me, I am not in favor of the viewpoint that one language should replace others as the universal one.

Nowadays it is universally acknowledged that language is not only a tool of communication but also a kind of art. Each language, no matter what kind of language it is, has its unique pronunciation, grammar and expressions, which contribute to the diversity of the world. Therefore, if the diverse languages are diminished, our world will become less colorful.

We can say that language is part of culture, and plays a considerably important role in culture. Indeed, some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language, so the argument goes, culture would not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture; it reflects culture. In the broadest sense, language is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises their historical and cultural backgrounds as well as their approach to life and their ways of living and thinking. Cultures differ from one another, and each culture is unique. There is no denying that it will be a disaster for us to see the world's diverse cultures disappear one by one.

When all the factors are examined, we may safely come to the conclusion that although we are convinced that, no matter what our career choice is, a command of foreign languages is an important skill to acquire, yet we should protect our own language, the carrier of our culture.

2007年专八作文范文 第8篇

With the development of market economy in China arise the income gaps between people working in different fields: some earn good money; some make ends meet; some others live on narrow means. On top of many social problems this financial disparity may cause there is a claim that it affects friendship. The assumption seems reasonable but we may find it does not really hold water by taking a close look into the subject.

First of all true and lasting friendship is built on common values pursuits or hobbies rather than similar incomes. Friends are those who agree with your life views and stick to the some principles those who encourage you when you lack confidence in meeting challenges and pursuing your dream or those who share your interests and appreciate your tastes. Indeed what strengthens these emotional bonds between you and your pals is not the same amount of wealth but spiritual commonalities. Of course with similar financial backgrounds you will probable know better about each other's life style but the difference in this aspect will not matter if you are mutually appreciated needed and trusted. The friendship between Marx and Engels--the two German revolutionists--is a case in point. The former was often in debt while the latter was well-off; yet the same socialist dream drew them together and made them forever friends.

Moreover financial disparity between friends does not cause trouble because each of them usually lives a self-reliant life. Different from a married couple who have common properties budget and spend their income together even very close friends live on their own finances. For instance though we exchange ideas with and confide secrets to our friends we will never rely on them for a comfortable life no matter how rich they are. Admittedly there are times when we may go out for fun or to dinner together with friends; however whether they are richer or poorer than us we can definitely find a place suitable for all rather than one beyond somebody's means.

It is claimed that people with different financial backgrounds have different social contacts and accordingly as friends will get estranged sooner or later. It is true in some cases but bosom friends are not those who you get in touch with every day instead they are those who lend their hands to you when you fall into trouble just as the old saying goes a friend in need is a friend indeed. Hence despite their distinct material life the richer and the poorer can retain their friendship as long as they still care about each other understand and support each other.

To sum up financial disparity will not affect friendship when people have common spiritual pursuits lead an independent life and stand by each other for better or worse. It might be quite safe to say that money is not the barrier but the touchstone of real friendship.

 06：Ambition

Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision. It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life. Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it,” And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life. First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission. No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice. Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission. And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness. Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome. John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature. In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full. Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials. Without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Heidi, a Chinese Helen Keller. It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Heidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon. Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction. If wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others. Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering. Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland. However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan. Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom. To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. A poet says: life can be bad.  Life can be good. Life can be dirty. Life can be sad. Life can even be painful. In my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition.

05: Interview An Effective Way to Recruit Employees       Nowadays, interview is frequently used by employers as one of the preferable means to recruit prospective employees. As a result, there have been many arguments for or against it as a selection procedure. Some people regard it as a good way to select employees in a short time while others think it not proper to decide on a person just by the simple means of interview. Both of them have some truth. But in my opinion, it is an efficient way to recruit a prospective employee.

First of all, interview serves as an efficient way to examine if a person has the qualities that are needed for modern competition or for a certain company. In interview, one needs to present the best part of oneself to the interviewers. If the interviewee is well prepared and has a knowledgeable mind, he or she should show it plainly to the interviewers. The key point for the interviewee on this occasion is to be quick-minded and resourceful. Certainly one will come across some tough questions from the interviewers. What the latter expects is a witty even humorous answer. What is more, in an interview, facing a group of interviewers, who will make a decision on the interviewee' fate, the interviewee has to remain calm which is an essential quality for modern competition.

Secondly, interview embodies fairness--the principle of modern society. During an interview, all interviewees will face the same conditions, such as the same place, the same time; they will face the same interviewers and questions of similar difficulties. The outstanding candidate has to surpass all the other interviewees in answering ail sorts of questions and it mainly depends on his or her own ability. And the judgment is not made by one interviewer but usually by a group of interviewers, which is more objective and democratic.

Thirdly, interview offers a broader scope of selection for both the interviewers and interviewees. A company that needs to remit employees can hold a big interview to select their most ideal employees they expect from many applicants. The interviewees on the other hand, can attend several interviews to find the most appropriate companies in which they wish to work and develop. Thus interview is really a~ important bridge in the process of job hunting.

To sum up, interview has many advantages to cater for modern society. Thanks to the interview, both companies and interviewees can make their best choices.

03：Love, and Then Be Loved     In recent years, more and more teachers complain that their students are indifferent to others. Some even worry that the young generation might ruin the future of China. To be sure, many of our young people cannot see eye to eye with this view. However, as a university student, I myself would like to content that we young people today are in general more self-centered and unsympathetic than our previous generations.    To start with, most, if not all, young people choose to attend exclusively to their own needs. In their eyes, it is all too natural to seek satisfaction from what they do, even if it may mean inconvenience to others. Take my dormitory for example. It is a common scene here that a roommate cheerfully talks to his girlfriend on the phone at midnight when others are struggling for a sound sleep. One may complain now and then, but to no avail. In fact, the others, to the exclusion of me, live their dormitory life much in the same way. When I take a nap at noon, they often play cards. They have no regard for others. Life is a joy to them, yet they often enjoy it to the neglect of others' feelings. In sharp contrast, our caring parents always pay heed to our needs and those of others. Whenever my father comes back home late in the night, he tiptoes in for fear that he might awake me.    Moreover, our young people tend to be insensitive to others' difficulty. When a classmate falls ill, few people offer to help, but regard it as none of their business. Some students in my class come from poor families. Yet, they are active mobile phone users, who may spend twice as much as what their parents earn from arduous labor. When asked why they behave so, they answer that their parents have the obligation to accommodate their expenses. Personally, I detest their answer, for I know my parents never thought that way when they were young. Being aware of their parents' financial difficulty, they managed to save every penny they could.    For the above reasons and those not mentioned here, I subscribe to the view that young people in today's China are more self-centered and unsympathetic than were our previous generations. It is high time that we learned from older generations so that a harmonious and splendid future can be anticipated.

Is it helpful to build an honest and clean government by a fund for incorruptible civil servants? Such an issue has aroused controversy among the public. Proponents believe the innovative move will help to fight against corruption and build a clean government. Opponents say that being clean is an official’s obligation and duty and there is therefore no need to reward them with additional funds. Personally, I’d like to express my disapproval on this question.

First of all, to establish an accumulation fund for clean officials is in fact a challenge to social justice. Public servants should work diligently in an honest and clean way and abide by laws and regulations when performing their duties. That is the basic requirement for them. Any official who fails in this sense does not deserve the position of a public servant. Extra pay for clean public servants will naturally damage the image of public servants in the eyes of ordinary people. In addition, it will play a negative role in their professional work ethics. When public servants are rewarded for what they should do, what about clean doctors, teachers, lawyers, policemen? Obviously such a policy is not well-grounded.

Secondly, the most unfair part about the reserve fund is that it infringes upon the interests of taxpayers who contribute to public servants’ salary in the first place. It’s God’s truth that officials should work for the taxpayers’ interests. But to sustain such a fund system, a large number of workers and farmers will have to pay more for what public servants are supposed to do. As for the reserve fund, only when the amount of the award comes to a tempting figure can it restrain corruption to a certain degree. However, it is impossible to raise such an enormous fund only from their welfare fund. So, the fund is actually a disguised form of reward to public servants through taking advantage of fiscal revenue.

Relatively speaking, public servants are well paid for their service, so it is not rational to raise such a fund of reward. What we can do is to strengthen supervision mechanisms, so as to effectively track down and punish corrupted officials and let them pay higher costs for their behavior. In addition, to fundamentally minimizing the corruption phenomenon in the government, we should take effective measures to put a limit on their power in an attempt to provide fewer opportunities to abuse power.

Most of us can learn how to do something simple on our own with just a set of instructions. However, to learn about something more complex, it’s always best to have a teacher.

Teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds. They’ve been trained to teach individuals in different ways depending on their style. For instance, omen students learn better by discussing a topic. Others learn more by writing about it. Teachers can help students learn in the way that’s best of each student. A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning something. Plus they’re only as helpful as your ability to understand them. A good teacher can adapt her teaching to your needs.

Teachers help you focus on what you’re learning. If you’re learning something by yourself, it’s easy to become distracted, and go on to other activities. Teachers keep your attention on the subject. They also approach a subject logically, taking it one step at a time. On your own, it’s tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you don’t need. That can binder your ability to really understand the subject.

Learning a subject on your own is a very narrow way of learning. You can only use the information you get from the textbook. With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teacher’s own knowledge of the topic. Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what you’re learning.

There’s nothing wrong with studying on your own, and a learner can always benefit from some quiet study. For the best possible learning, though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can have.

Some people like to eat out at food stands and restaurants, while others like to prepare food at home. Often it depends on the kind of lifestyle people have. Those with very busy jobs outside the house don’t always have time to cook. They like the convenience of eating out. Overall, though, it is cheaper and healthier to eat at home. While eating in restaurants is fast, the money you spendcan add up. When I have dinner at restaurant with a friend, the bill is usually over twenty dollars. I can buy a lot of groceries with that much money. Even lunch at a fast-food stand usually costs five or six dollars for one person. That’s enough to feed the whole family at home.

Eating at home is better for you, too. Meals at restaurants are often high in fat and calories, and they serve big plates of food--much more food than you need to eat at one meal. If you cook food at home, you have more control over the ingredients. You can use margarine instead of butter on your potatoes, or not put so much cheese on top of your pizza. At home, you can control your portion size. You can serve yourself as little as you want. In a restaurant, you may eat a full plate of food ^v^because you paid for it^v^. It’s true that eating out is convenient. You don’t have to shop, or cook, or clean up. But real home cooking doesn’t have to take a lot of time. There are lots of simple meals that don’t take long to make. In fact, they’re faster than eating out, especially if you think of the time you spenddriving to a restaurant, parking, waiting for a table, waiting for service, and driving home.

Both eating at restaurants and cooking at home can be satisfying. Both can taste good and be enjoyed with family and friends. I prefer cooking at home because of the money and health issues, but people will make the choice that fits their lifestyle best.

看到机关里新来的一拨又一拨年轻大学生，其中不少还是硕士、博士生；看到家中的两个女儿也都上了大学，我常常感慨万千，感到他们是幸福的，是赶上好时候了。而这一切都是改革开放恢复高考制度后带来的，由此也每每令我回想起30年前参加高考的那段往事。

1978年，在小平同志的方针的指引下，我们党和国家步入了改革开放的新时代，这一年恢复了中断2018年的全国统一高考当时，我在安徽淮南市第十一中学任教。当传来恢复高考的消息后，学校老师们激动极了，大家教学热情高涨，加大了对高三毕业班的教学力度，积极指导学生复习迎考。因为已经有10多年没有送学生参加高考，作为教师都心存许多遗憾，都想让更多优秀的学生考入大学。那段时间，学校里白天上课，晚上补习，完全进入了临阵一搏的冲刺阶段。

上大学也曾是我儿时的梦想。下放农村时虽然有过一次推荐上大学的机会，但却因为当时莫许有的政审原因受到牵连，未能如愿。恢复高考，给了我一次机会，于是积极备考。当我陪着学生一同走进考场后，才意识到了困难和尴尬。我是上海69届初中毕业生，没学过高中数学，一拿到数学试卷.全然是一片空白。尽管如此，我还是坚持参加了各场考试。至今我还清晰地记得语文考卷中作文是一篇缩写，题目是《速度问题是一个政治问题》。

庆幸的是，我考取了安徽师大淮南师范专科学校，有幸在经历了插队落户当农民，到学校当教师等一系列职业转换后，跨进了大学校门。

恢复高考，迅速推进了教育事业的发展。恢复高考制度，很快扭转了一度盛行的读书无用论影响.也很快扭转了过去教育不被重视的状况。

知识就是力量成为人们的共识，尊师重教成为社会的氛围.社会重视教育，家庭关心教育，使教育得到了健康飞速的发展。30年来，教育投入优先增长被明确写入法律，再穷不能穷教育，再苦不能苦孩子，继城市实行9年制义务教育后，农村免费义务教育也全面实现。教育结构不断优化，学前教育受到普遍重视，义务教育得到均衡发展，高中阶段教育逐渐普及，职业教育得到大力发展，高等教育更是得到长足发展，全民受教育程度不断提高。

国家富强，人才为重。人才是国家富强的法宝，恢复高考，使国家快速地选拔了大批人才。特别是77、78、79级的三届学生几乎囊括了从66届高中、初中到79届应届高中的优秀学子，使他们在当时％的高考录取率中脱颖而出，而其中大多数是过去2018年中被排斥在升学之外的老三届。改革开放初期，百废待兴，人才断层。由于特殊的经历，这三届毕业生走上工作岗位后，很快填补了人才的空缺，并始终是各行各业的中坚力量，发挥着承前启后的重要作用，其中许多人走上了各级领导岗位。而恢复高考以来高校培养的一届又一届学生，更是源源不断地为祖国的现代化建设输送着各级各类人才，频频不断地改写着我国公民接受大学教育的比例，为国家的富强集聚了人才队伍，奠定了坚实的人才基础。更具有深远影响的是，时至今日，公平、公正、公开仍然是高考选拔人才的'方式，唯才是举，量才录用仍然是高考选拔人才的标准，高考是最为社会所公认的良好机制。

30年前的恢复高考，改变了多少普通人的人生航向。1980年毕业后，我经组织选调，到淮南市委办公室工作。此后28年来，虽然工作单位换过6个，但始终是在党政机关从事文秘、政研、党务等工作。勿庸讳言，是恢复高考改变了我的人生轨迹。也由于长期在党政机关工作，使我接触与经历了以凤阳小岗村农民联产承包为发韧的农村改革，经历了以简政放权为起点的城市改革，尤其是1995年初，我有幸投身到浦东开发开放的这块热土，更使我见证了改革开放所取得的丰硕成果.也使我由衷地感受到党的十一届三中全会以来的路线方针政策的英明正确。

我相信，受益于改革开放，受益于恢复高考制度，有这相同感受的决不仅仅是我个人，而是整整一代人甚至是几代人。
