People always think about "the problem of youth". If there is one-which I take leave to doubt-it is
older people who create it,not the young themselves.Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the
young are after all human beings-people just like their elders.There is only one difference between an old
man and a young one:the young man has a beautiful future before him while the old man a splendid future
behind him and maybe that is where the rub is.
When I was a teenager,I felt that I was just young and unknown-that I was a new boy in a huge
school,and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem.For
one thing,being a problem gives you a certain identify,and that is one of the things the young are busily
engaged in seeking.
I find young people exciting.They have an air of freedom,and they have not a dull promise to mean
ambitions or love of comfort.They are not anxious social climbers,and 
they have no devotion to important
things.All this seems to me to link them with life,and the origins of things.It"s as if they were in some sense
of cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban (乡村的) creatures.All that is in my mind when I meet a young person.He may be too proud,illmannered,selfconfident or selfsatisfied,but I do not
turn for protection to boring clich?s about respect for elders as if age were a reason for respect.I accept
that we are equals,and I will argue with them,as an equal,if I think he is wrong.

good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good
friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows (誓言) mean what they say.I am a good friend
to my friends, and they to me.With
out them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here"s what I want to tell you today:Get a life.A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升),
the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love, and who love you.And remember that love
is not leisure (休闲), it is work.Pick up the phone.Send an email.Write a letter.And realize that life is the
best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes.It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_
of_to_live.I learnt to live many years ago.Something really, really bad happened to me, something that
changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all.And what I
learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the
world and tryto give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally.And I tried to do that, in part, by
telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this:Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.

based in New York, the number of American students seeking higher education in China has never been
greater, increasing by 90 percent from 2002 to 2004. Alan Goodman, president of the institute, believes

and transform its higher educational facilities into worldclass institutions.
"China is a job market, " said Professor Chou, professor of East Asian Studies at Princeton
University. "Twenty years ago, only those interested in Chinese literature would study the Chinese
language. Now all professors have opened up. "
China now ranks 9th as a host destination for American students, advancing from the No. 12 spot it
held a year earlier. The study revealed that Britain continues to be the leading destination, attracting
