Should we step down leaders every five years in any profession such as business, politics, education, government? The speaker claims so, for the reason that the surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership. I concede that in some areas this solution takes benefit. Otherwise, in some realms the suggestion has obvious disadvantages.
In considering the political world it might be more tempting to agree with the speaker. The British historian Lord Acton once said "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely; great men are almost always bad man… There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it." Imagine if a political leader maintain his power for a long period, the destiny of the whole country will be dependent on his or her own intellect and decision, which is extremely dangerous because no one can always be right. Chin Dynasty First Emperor Ying Cheng, the leader of Qin dynasty, his behavior was a positive outrage. He rules with a heavy hand, forces to build the Great Wall during which many people were purged or killed. Therefore to change the leadership from time to time is sensible and better for enhancing democracy.
In the educational field, the situation is different. If the Minister of Education, university president or school headermaster are step down every five years, it will be too hasty or even cruel .Even it is a waste of human recourses .Because the experience and knowledge which needed to be accumulated in a much longer period than just five years. Charles W. Eliot, the president of Harvard president, holder the president for more than 40 years. The average period which the Harvard president occupy is 13.9 years .Richard Levin, the president of Yale University, said "The president period are more than 10 years, otherwise they can do nonthing.15 years are better, 6 years are too rigid." Mei yiqi, the Tsinghua University president, occupy 17 years, to contribute the university become the top 1 university in China. Therefore in education, we always say we can get more from the elder. Only elder can give us more experience of life and perspective of questions which is more crucial in education for the purpose of make out true individual.
In sum, the change of leadership in every profession seems not always to be a good deed. The conclusion should be varied according to certain realms. In some fields such as politics and governments we should take the suggestion to benefit the society while in other areas we should consider the advantages and disadvantages of the suggestion before we make the decision to reelect our leaders.
Issue: 173(第13类传统保留 Vs 创新发展:频次21),180(第15类法律:频次37),170(第16类国家、国际:频次31),210(第17类态度、方法论:频次29)
173."Originality does not mean thinking something that was never thought before; it means putting old ideas together in new ways." 173. 创意不是指想人们没有想过的东西;而是指把旧的观点放在一起形成新的观点
1 创意是一种创新,有可能是人们没有想过的东西
2 创意也是把旧的观点放在一起然后整合出一种新的观点
180."Many problems of modem society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because moral behavior cannot be legislated." 180. 现代社会的许多问题是法律和司法系统不能解决的,因为立法不能左右人的道德行为
1 是有许多问题法律和司法系统不能解决,那是因为法律和司法系统有漏洞
2 立法可以限制人们的道德行为
170."The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but the general welfare of all its people."
First, it fails to define "general welfare." 170. 一个富强的国家最有力的证明不是它的统治者、艺术家或者科学家,而是全体人民的福利
1 人民的福利才是国家富强的象征
2 其他的都是次要的
210."Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work." 210. 大多数人找工作是基于钱这种很实际的考虑,费多大的劲找到工作,就希望拿多少薪水。很难得有人能从自己的潜质和兴趣出发去找一份特殊的工作
1 从自己的潜质和兴趣出发去找一份特殊工作是没有办法养活自己的,生存才是关键
2 社会的体制决定了人们必须先考虑生存,如果人们都能够吃饱饭的话,无论做什么工作都是差不多的,就可以选择自己有兴趣的工作了。
