More and more students want to study in “hot” majors. As a result, many students give up their interests and study in those areas such as foreign languages, international business and law, etc. Fewer and fewer students choose scientific majors, such as math, physics and biology, and art majors, like history, Chinese and philosophy. Only a few students can study in these “hot” majors, because the number of these “hot” majors is limited(有限的).
If one has no interest in his work or study, how can he do well? I learned this from one of my classmates. He is from the countryside. His parents are farmers. Though he likes biology, he chose international business. He wants to live a life which is different from that of his parents.
In the end, he found he was not interested in doing business. He found all the subjects tiresome. Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if he had chosen his major according to his own interest. Choosing a major in university does not decide one’s whole life. Majors which are not “hot” today may become the “hot” majors of tomorrow. Choosing your major according to your own interest is the best way to succeed.

Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?
Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers”, and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets”, and even “houses”.
Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.
Harold: I don’t quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game. Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.
Allan:I enjoy putting some “bugs” in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.
Laura:You know, people in the city are longing for the life in the countryside. It reduces my work pressure. Besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”.
Ivy:Well, it’s just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they cannot focus on their study.

In the UK, most children have lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner—a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want, Cathy, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said. “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But how healthy are school dinners? Katz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews(炖肉) and curries for the children instead.
So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a pupil, told us, “We used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There is a salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”
