The Job I Would Like to Do after Graduation
After years of industrious yet fruitful study in college, I will graduate and be
ready to serve society by taking up my first job. Most of my cassmates consider
pay as the top priority in choosing a job, but to obtain a job that is inlltuallyly
rewarding, creative, and contributive has been my ambition for many years. I
believe that this kind of job is worthiest of devotion.
A job that is itellecually rewarding is one that can provide me
with
opportunities to deal with books every day, and to busy myself with the mystery
of mankind and the universe. In a world in which money is very often valued
more than anything else, 1 sometimes feel as if I were pulled by some evil force to
the acquisitive society. Therefore, 1 wish the job 1 do in the future will be able to
keep me from being enslaved by materialism. Good books, I know, will keep me
awake. Moreover, a job, which brings me into contact with great minds, will
excite my curiosity and fire my imagination. It will lay one question after another
in front of me, urging me to seek the answer. Thus, 1 will always be able to
maintain a youthful spirit.

A contributive job is one that helps to make my country strong and
prosperous. I remember my first train journey to the university. On the way I was
shocked to see, in some rural areas, the shabby huts that I took for cowsheds but
were actually people's dwelling places. Thereafter, these huts flash into my mind
from time to time, reminding me of my duty to help those people improve their
lives. Therefore, the job which I would like to choose after graduation is not one
which promises a bright future for myself only, but one which will help to bring
about a better life for many other people.
These are what I would seek in my career. Provide me with a job which bears
the above characteristics, and I will dedicate myself to it. I trust that an
intellecually rewarding, creative and contributive job will give me the greatest
satisfaction.

2、[主观题]II. Write an outine. (20 points)
Read the following passage carefully and compose a "topic outline" for it.
Confucius
No other philosopher in the world has had more enduring influence than
Confucius. For over two thousand years, his concept of govermment, and his ideas
about personal conduct and morality pervaded Chinese life and culture. Even
today, his thoughts remain influential.
Confucius was born in a small town in northeastern China and grew up in
poverty. He had no formal education; however, through self-study he became a
learned man. For a while he held a minor govermment post; but he soon resigned
his position and spent most of his life teaching. The most important teachings of
Confucius were ollected in a book, the Analects, compiled by his disciples.
The two cornerstones of his system of personal conduct were ren and li. Ren
might be defined as“benevolent concem for one's fellow men." Li is a term less
easily translated: it combines the notions of etiquette, good manners, and due
concem for rituals and customs. Confucius believed that a man should seek truth
and virtue rather than wealth. In addition, he was the first philosopher to state the
Golden Rule, which he phrased as“Do not do unto others that which you would
not have them do unto you."
Confucius believed that children owe respect and obedience to their parents,
wives to their husbands, and subjects to their rulers. But he was never a defender
of tyranny. On the contrary, he held that the state should work for the benefit of
the people, and that a leader should goverm by moral example rather than by force.
At the time of his death, Confucius was a respected, but not yet greatly
influential, teacher and philosopher. Gradually, though, his ideas became widely
accepted throughout the country. In the third century B.C. Shih Huang TI, the first
emperor of Qin Dynasty, united China. He decided to reform the country entirely
and make. a complete break with the past. The Emperor therefore suppressed
Confucian teachings and ordered the bumning of all copies of Confucian works.
Most Confucian works were indeed destroyed, but some copies survived, and
a few years later, after the dynasty founded by the “First Emperor”had fallen,
Confucianism re-emerged. In the Han dynasty, it became the official state
philosophy, a position it maintained throughout most of the next two millennia.
Indeed, for much of that period, the civil service examinations in China were
based primarily on knowledge of Confucian classics. Since those examinations
were the main route by which common people could enter the administration and
achieve political power, the goveming class of China was largely composed of
men who had carefully studied the works of Confucius and absorbed his
principles.
