In order to succeed, you should be more like others than be different from everyone else.

With the approaching of the technologically advanced society, people put more and more emphasis on originality and novelty. However, when asked about whether a person will be more likely to succeed if he or she becomes different from others, people get into a dilemma. Some believe that if one gets more like others, he or she can avoid the alienation and isolation of your co-workers, so that he or she can easily succeeds. Meanwhile those who strongly disagree with it cite that only through distinguishing ourselves from everyone else, can we get the appreciation from others and finally succeed. From my own perspective, the latter is more reasonable.

First and foremost, new ideas come from thinking out of box. Only with the courage to challenge the tradition and authority, can people put forward new theories and eventually revolute the whole world. There
are lots of famous people in the history who change the human's perspective of the world by stand out of the convention and bravely speak out the truth: Had Galileo followed what ordinary people thought about the gravity, he would never have found the law of free fall; had Copernicus compromised to the dominant view of the universe, people would never have the opportunity to appreciate the true nature of our galaxy；and had Darwin yielded to the prevalent theory-creationism, people would never came out of the shadow of the God and try to understand ourselves more scientifically. From the examples above, we can safely draw to the conclusion that it is the thinking out of convention that bring us the groundbreaking revolution of the science and change the entire world.

Furthermore, in personal aspect, we need to show others of our talents and specialness if we want to become successful. In order to succeed, people sometimes need to promote their special skills and show others their shining points. And the fear of being different is always the biggest obstacle in the way to success. The example of my brother matches my viewpoint perfectly. My brother has a rather beautiful voice and he is very good at singing. But he used to be too shy to sing in front of any one except of his family members. He was afraid of failure and the laugh and humiliating of the people. But once, my father applied a singing competition for him. And he was totally freaking out and refused to attend anyway. However, with the persistent encouraging and inspiring of our family, he finally agreed to attend. On that day, he was so nervous that he can not even speak to us. Interestingly, after the words of the song coming of his throat, he gradually calmed down and seemed totally lost in the singing. His performance was so perfect that he won the second award in the competition. We all amazed by his voice and were so proud of him. Later on, my brother gets more and more confident and out-going and never afraid of singing in front of others any more. He becomes very distinctive and popular in his school and wins a large number of awards for it. He feels so grateful of my father for his decision. With no doubt, the changing of my brother has greatly inspired me to stick on my stand point that we should be braver to show our uniqueness in order to succeed.

Admittedly, sometimes being like other has certain merits, such as it can avoid the isolation and critiques of others and reduce the discordance and confliction. However, it is the braveness of sticking to truth of nature and one’s deep principle make the person truly success.

In a word, in the modern world, the originality and specialness is playing an increasingly important role in achieving success for both the individual and the society.

The reading and listening passages have a conflict of opinion about how the Chaco structures were used.   The reading material puts forward three major theories, which are all rejected by the following lecture.

Firstly, the reading material claims that the Chaco structures were used purely as residence. It is because the houses look very similar to the large well-known "apartment buildings" at Taos. However, listening material believe that it is no true, because since only the outside of the house looks the same with the Taos' buildings, the inside of the houses cast serious doubt on the theories. For instance, there are too few fireplaces in the houses to support the families that the houses can accommodate.

Second, the writer in the passage holds that the Chaco structures were good places to store food supplies, especially grain maize. The reason is that the maize is a kind of crops which can last a long time without going spoiled and thus need large places for this purpose.
However, the lecturer disagrees with the statement by stating that there is not any trace of maize that could be found in the houses. That is greatly contradicted to the theories because if the houses were used as storage place, people would at least find some containers there.

Third, the writer contends that houses used to be ceremonial centers. It is because a large number of pots, which are consider as evidence of the ceremonial parties, were excavated from the mounds closed to one of the houses, Pueblo Alto. However, the speaker holds the different opinions. The speaker argues that not only the pots but also a large quantity of building material, such as sand and stone, are also found in the mounds, which suggest that the mounds are just trash heaps and the pots are the trashes that are thrown away.

The lecture entirely rebuts the reading passage, arguing that it is the predation, instead of environmental pollution, that contributes to the decline of the population of the sea otters.

First, the reading passage claims that sources of environmental pollution have already been found along the Alaskan coast, which indicates that pollution is more likely the cause of the decline. However, the statement is greatly questioned by the lecture which argues that the pollution theory is weakened by the fact that there is no finding of died otters washed up on the Alaskan coast. And because predators eat preys immediately and leaving noting to be washed up on beach, this phenomenon matches the predation hypothesis perfectly.

Second, contrary to the assertion in the reading passage that the only acceptable explanation of the decrease of the numbers of sea mammals is the pollution, the professor in the lecture contends that the attacks of the orca account for the decline more reasonably. The professor points out that since whale, the favorable prey of the orca, disappeared during the recent centuries, the orcas have to turn to eat some small sea mammals to survive and thus lead to the decline.

Third, the professor maintains that the orca theory also can demonstrate the uneven pattern of otter decline by the fact that in the board area where orcas easily access, the number of otter declines rapidly, while in the shallow and rocky location where can hardly find any orca, the population of the orcas remains stable. According to the reading passage, however, the uneven pattern is the result of uneven concentration of pollution created by environmental factors. Therefore, the lecture goes against what is presented in the reading passage.
