American History is one of the elective studies in the university ______.

(l)Life moves on—even in Tucson. The flowers and candles are being dismantled. The fresh golf courses are filled with winter visitors. The funerals that marked life here for two weeks are over. (2)But it will be a long time before this desert community puts behind it, if it ever does, what happened in an instant on a sunny Saturday morning in front of a supermarket. (3)On that day, at La Toscana Village strip mall, I peered past the police tape at the blood-smeared sidewalk and the covered bodies of the victims. I knew I had to focus and ask questions. I had to file a story. But I also had to stop for a minute to process my breaking heart. (4)Nineteen people, including a 9-year-old girl, a federal judge and a member of Congress, had just been gunned down in my home town. (5)In the past more than 25 years, I have seen the unspeakable many times. I wrote about the slaughter of 32 students inside their Virginia Tech classrooms. I reported on the random shootings of 13 people in the Washington area by two snipers (狙击手). I have covered countless murders of youths on the streets of the District. (6)But I never expected to see this kind of tragedy here in my safe haven. Tucson was where I hiked with my husband on the trails of Sabino Canyon, the desert oasis in Coronado National Forest, and where I rode horses with my daughter near Saguaro National Monument, amid the cholla and ocotillo cactus. Here I breathed the clean desert air, especially intoxicating after a rain, filled with the fragrance of creosote and sage. Here I drove 15 minutes out of town to Gates Pass to watch the spectacular sunsets and then marvel at the big, starry Arizona sky. This was my city, a blend of Native American and Mexican culture, where the sun shines more days a year than anywhere else in the country. (7)The world is filled with cities that are touched with senseless violence. And after the streets are swept clean, life goes on. People go back to work and to play. On the surface, it appears as if nothing really changed. (8)But something has . Extreme acts of violence affect the psychological and social fabric of a community in subtle but important ways. The place where residents have felt safe doesn't feel quite so safe anymore. Insecurity creeps in. Anxieties rise. (9)I was here on the morning of the shootings visiting my mother, who moved to Tucson with my father in the 1950s. A childhood friend called to tell us she'd heard that Giffords had just been shot. I called The Post and then, on instinct, as if I were still on the D.C. crime beat, raced to the scene—just two miles away. (10)In the days that followed, my home town was transformed into a national media spectacle, complete with a camera-ready headline: "Tragedy in Tucson." Famous television anchors flew in and set up with my beloved Santa Catalina Mountains as their backdrop. Reporting the story was strange. It felt uncomfortable calling old friends for help and reaching out to Giffords's rabbi, whom I'd known since she was a teenager, to urge her to share her experience at the lawmaker's bedside. (11)Growth and development had long ago changed Tucson. At the end of roads where there was once only desert, there are expensive sprawling homes, luxury resorts and strip malls, like the one where Jared Loughner pulled out his Glock 19. Making my way around Tucson, a flood of childhood memories came back, but now superimposed on them were images from the bloodbath. (12)So, too, it is with those who live here. Their lives go on, but in ways big and small the city they call home is not quite the same as it was before.

Along with the shrinking job market, the university graduates find it's harder and harder to get the ideal job. Therefore, they place the blame on the universities, saying that courses offered in universities can't provide them with enough practical training which may ensure them a decent job. Accordingly, some people think that university should not provide theoretical knowledge, but to give practical training that benefits both the students and the society. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES The theoretical knowledge just handles problems of abstract concept. Without combining with real job, it can not give full play to its efficiency. The theoretical knowledge without contact with reality is nonsensical. As everyone knows, with the development of society, experienced talents are in great need. Companies need those people who can apply theoretical knowledge into practice. So, offering more practical training to university students can help them adapt to the society better. Theoretical knowledge roots in practice. It is obtained from the practice of the real jobs. By providing practical training to students, the university can make them comprehend the theoretical knowledge more deeply. That's why more and more universities stipulate that students should participate in social work for at least one year in their four years' study. NO Universities are where theoretical knowledge is handed down from generation to generation. As we know, universities congregate a lot of preeminent scholars and professors whose main jobs are doing academic research. They are responsible to impart the academic knowledge to the young generation. Theoretical knowledge is beneficial to the society. Theory study will provide powerful tools for us to deal with the world around us as well as the body of ourselves. For instance, physiological or medical theories enable us to understand the way our body works so that we know how to combat disease more effectively.

Recently, a college student helped an old woman who fell down and was accused of shoving the old woman to the ground. The case has drawn national attention. The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read them carefully from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization, language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.YES It is one of Chinese tradition virtues to care for and help the old. When they fall down, helping them to stand up is a very small thing we can do to them. Imagine if your own grandfather or grandmother fell down. Would you give them a hand? We shouldn't be biased in helping those people in need because good deeds may be relayed.NO It is hard to judge whether a person who falls down is really in need or just plays the trick to cheat money. Without knowing this, helping the old will only get us into unnecessary trouble, for example, the financial disputes. It is not an obligation but a choice for citizens to help the people in need or not. Helping others can be appreciated and awarded. But that doesn't mean not helping is something bad which must be criticized and even punished.
