MemoTo: Peter, Deputy EditorFrom: Daniel Thomas, Editor-in-chiefDate: June 6, 2014Subject: Ensuring smooth publication of July issue of Vogue while I am on holiday The build-up to the publication of the July issue of the magazine looks like being a very busy time and, before I go away for my vacation, I want to set out clearly everything that needs to be done over the next few weeks. The main issues that need your personal attention are: doing the interview with Mr. Smith and getting at least three more feature articles commissioned. Interview with Mr. Smith Mr. Smith is playing his New York concert on June 16, and his friends said that he would be available for interview either on that day or the day after. Mr. Smith's interview is going to be our cover story next month, so make sure it should be your top priority. Commissioning feature articles I have already commissioned two features for the July issue, but we need at least another three. Jerry has one or two ideas so you might want to call him first. You have my number, but please don't contact me unless it's really urgent. Everything needs to be finished by June 30.

Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us "the truth". We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can't be bad for us. However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors' own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing. If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don't tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think. On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.

Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because action taken now shows their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes action to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we can't ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline (汽油), which is a non-renewable (不可再生的) resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling (拼车), instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can't be so effective if it's taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.
