On New Year’s Day, I went to a stamp exhibition, what proved to be an unique experience.
At 9:30, I arrived at the exhibition with my precious stamp album, eager and excited. To my delighted, there gathered crowds of stamp lover. Immediately, I joined in them and studied the stamps one by one. I was attracted by the artists’ delicate designs and wanted to learn more. Then some of us got together in small groups to share our collections, chat cheerfully about the stamps. We even told stories behind it like old friends. Time past quickly and it was time to say goodbye to the friends.
I had a great time. Not only I appreciate beautiful stamps but also I made new friends with the same interest. This was really a specially celebration for the New Year.

From that day on Cathy kept swimming and didn’t ________ a single practice. She had a ________ intention within herself to be the best she could be.

We know that choosing a college major can be very hard. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here's what you need to know about college majors before you commit.
What is a major?
1.Beyond general college requirements， you'll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry， Literature， or Political Science.
How important is my major?
The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college， you will probably need certain courses. 2.
When do I declare a major?
This varies widely across schools and programs.3.Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.
4.
Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However， keep this in mind. Every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game， it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.
What are minors and double majors?
If one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite， consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration.5.A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.
A. Can I change my mind?
B. Is my major time-consuming?
C. It's your specialized area of study in college.
D. Most students find one major is more than enough.
E. Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.
F. But many future doctors major in non-science related fields.
G. The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes.
