"Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive, because it is primarily in cities that a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated."

I don’t think that this question has any meaning. And the reason given for the question why governments should ensure that their major cities receive the financial support is also quite ridiculous.

Firstly, every place of a country, no matter whether it is a major one or just a small and obscure one, hopes to develop their economy in order to thrive. To reach this goal, they are all eager to get the financial support from their government, which will help them a lot in many aspects. If the government only considers the need of those major cities, which has already exceeded secondary cities in economy, in the average income of the population and in welfare, imbalance will be created and aggravated between metropolis and small countries. And as soon as imbalance is exacerbated, the contradiction among people of the country will become more and more serious and then conflict appears. Take china for example, this developing country has witnessed tremendous development during these years. Some major cities, such as shanghai, Beijing etc, have experienced big changes in everything, the life style, average income, values of life, culture and so on. Their progress in economy is due to much financial support of Chinese government besides their own advantage and striving. However, when these major cities are granted innumerable help from the government, those poor countries are still poor, people there are still living in poverty, worrying about the food and clothes and house. While we are thinking about the question whether governments should give much more help to big cities, we should ask ourselves very seriously whether most of population in our country has been free from the problem of living and studying.
Secondly, I truly doubt the saying that a nation’s cultural traditions are preserved and generated in major cities. Even if one didn’t know how to judge whether traditions are not spoiled in metropolises, one could deduce it from the life style of the citizens in these cities. In fact, many major cities around the world have become homogenized because of globalization. And the word “global-village” reflects the true situation of the world today. If we compare the life style of people in Tokyo with it in New York, we will find that the similarity has covered the difference in many aspects. And the difference of cultural traditions has given way to the similarity of values of life. Thus, I dare to conclude that cultural traditions have been overwhelmed by the modernization in major cities. In contrast, many countries are still preserving some traditions and cherishing those essences handed down from one generation to another. When we go to some minorities in china, we would find some special rituals there, for example, the “sprinkling-water feast” in Dai minority. For this reason, I think that if the question what kind of areas in one country should receive financial support from government is answered according to the condition whether they preserve the traditions well, major cities should be the first one crossed out.

In the end, I’d like to present my conclusion as follows. Major cities are definitely important in accelerating the development of the country and need government’s support in many aspects apart from the financial support. However, the country should not just stare at the construction of those metropolises, many poor areas are waiting to be cared and given help. What we strive to realize is to balance the development between rich and poor cities. The cultural traditions are emblem of the spirit and faith of a country. To preserve them is a way to differentiate us from other countries and is a way to explore the glorious history of our race. To prevent them from spoiling, we need to support remote areas in finance and policy. Besides, we should make museums and some performances having something to do with propagating cultural traditions in big cities exert influence on those citizens who are losing the spirit of their own country.

我的成绩还没寄到学校我就回来了，还不知道考了多少分。不过能有4.5我肯定知足了。

说实话，4.5足够了。有工夫把时间多用在专业课上吧。比如早点找个老板拼命干活，争取到一两篇有自己署名的paper（一般肯定是最后一个了）。

我们的精力总是有限，找到一个平衡点是很重要的。

校友，不知你们下学期课怎样，我可是要崩溃了。就算再差我也不会重考的。将来我是要考我的专业混饭吃的，无论是出国还是将来工作。

实在太差也没什么，大不了不出了。真的，现在留在国内未必就比出国差。

楼上的咋知道俺们是校友的,嘿嘿
我早知道成绩了,是拜托在美国的朋友打的电话
哎,偶的成绩不尽如人意,V就500多,混了个中流水平
我美国的朋友告诉我,其实GT高还是有优势的
他们系版上写只要T580,但实际招的国际学生T平均分是650,他就是正好650
当然,关键是专业背景,如果有PAPER,肯定比GT重要的多
哎~~~~
我这次再考就当作再"享受"一次
上次考完后,单词就~~~~~~ 呵呵,逼自己再练习练习吧
总有好处的
BTW,你也大三??

还有,我们下学期课比较松,我才肯重新考的
不然谁来遭这个罪
这学期就因为考G课都不上,弄的我的考试~~~~~惨啊~~~~
这次肯定不能耽误正常生活了
上次我牺牲太多了
不过GRE的成绩跟时间基本成正比
我上次用了一个月有20天时间准备的V,用了整20天时间准备的作文
成绩之中庸非常正常了
BTW,我们下学期就三门核心课程,其中两门不用考试,也就是说~~~~
6月13日学期结束,申请准备开始~~~~

还是要提醒大家
考G作文是我这次的一大收获
当你看着那么难的题目,你用英语绘制出一篇篇文章时就有成就感了
而且对你以后写PS很有帮助
所以, 考G作文绝对是一种享受和建立自信的过程!!
要好好珍惜哦~~~~~

希望你得个好分数吧
当然,如果分数不好,还可以用托福补救
GPA.>TOEFL>GRE  嘿嘿

genie05UID: 30358

木耳肯定没有问题的啦。
不过说实话GRE没有那么重要，我们学校的申请的偶问了一大堆的说。
而且你们学校的牌子也够硬了，用不着那么高的。
反正我是不会重考的，下学期要整死人了。
哎。我可不能两学期都毁了。

maverick1113UID: 144099

嘻嘻,楼上的小猪怎么那么可爱啊,哈哈哈~~~
看来考G最郁闷的就是毁学业
我发誓,再也不能让我扰乱我正常生活了
嘻嘻
楼上的MM,有机会认识一下,大家都是04年的飞友吧,嘿嘿
