There are two schools of thought on setting a mandatory curriculum for high school students. One group, which is composed primarily of parents and teachers, feels that students of high school age are incapable of knowing what they want to do with their lives and therefore of choosing their own subjects to study. They claim that adults should set the subjects to be studied due to their experience and knowledge. This group has proposed that high schools be changed to five-year program, one year being devoted entirely to mathematics and computers as those subjects are critical to a persons success these days. The second group is composed of students. Most students of high school age consider themselves adults, and feel capable of choosing their own subjects. They state that they are concerned that a standard curriculum would hurt the individuality of the students, and turn all students into scientists, rather than into humanists. The members of this group are adamantly opposed to changing the current three-year term of high school to a five-year term, stating that most students do not make the best use of their time in high school as it is now. This groups members claim that the best experience for students would be to go on to college, to get away from home, and to be able to choose their own subjects to study. The National Union of Educators has invited both groups to address its annual convention this summer. The chairwoman of NUE has also invited three "neutral" parties to speak. One of those parties is the Dean or Education of a small, Latin American country that has throughout its history allowed high school students to pick their own subjects to study. He will be discussing the follow-up surveys his students have participated in and show the results if giving the students such freedom of choice. A second "neutral" party is students unless they had a certain curriculum, which would take five full years to complete and which emphasized. mathematics.

完全入了冬天狀態(tài)；山巒看見雪的日子多了。風(fēng)也吹得厲害。但是大概說來，初冬得野景非常繞于趣味。霜的蒼白比之雪更多濃意而帶哀趣。與此相對的，是霜解后土色的深濃，比之初夏雨霽后土色還要潮濕。還有成了乾膚膚的綠苔沾潤了霜水后照著朝陽的時候，大地色彩之美真的到了絕頂。這時候的綠苔比之什么綠還要鮮艷而有生氣，恰象敲碎了的綠玉拋棄在那里一樣。又好像看了印象派的畫布一樣。我在孤寂的冬天幻想中，能夠見到這樣美麗的景色，真是設(shè)想不到的。
