Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the most interesting programme. If wecould agree what that was.However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business munications, international relations, and puter science.The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in Chinas history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation.We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not e easily.About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.Like others of my age, Im too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to aask: What does choice really mean to us young people?Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holdsgreat potential.All of these sound good. But they are only possibilities. To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge.To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of petition. In the next century, petition will not only e from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing petition from the whole outside world. This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.Fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of puter operation was considered merely an advantage. But today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has bee essential to everyone.Given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also bees more important.As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also bees more important.Nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, I would like to say, To choose means to take responsibility. When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: Its just my own business. As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. Rather, it is the whole of the human family. As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word China for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province. I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty.All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.選擇的重要性去年春節(jié)期間，我陷入過(guò)一場(chǎng)家庭紛爭(zhēng)。在我回家之前，我們家的電視除了已有的14個(gè)頻道外又增加了四個(gè)衛(wèi)星頻道。晚上的黃金時(shí)間，每個(gè)頻道的節(jié)目都很精彩.結(jié)果，我們一家五口(父母，兩個(gè)姐姐和我)為了選臺(tái)而爭(zhēng)執(zhí)起來(lái)。最后，我們決定應(yīng)當(dāng)看“最有意思”的節(jié)目如果我們?cè)谑裁词恰白钣幸馑肌鄙峡梢哉J(rèn)同的話(huà)。不過(guò)我們?nèi)记宄赜浀?，買(mǎi)了電視后的好長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間里，只有一兩個(gè)頻道可供選擇。電視頻道的增多反映出我們生活中的一個(gè)重大變化:選擇余地的擴(kuò)大。15年前，我們身著同樣的款式，單一的色調(diào)。而如今，紛繁的花色和眾多的式樣讓我們挑得眼花繚亂。15年前，我們幾乎無(wú)報(bào)可讀。而如今，除了大大小小的中文報(bào)紙，我們還讀上了中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)、21世紀(jì)報(bào)這樣的英文報(bào)紙。15年前，英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)的學(xué)生只能選語(yǔ)言與文學(xué)課程。而如今，我們還學(xué)習(xí)西方文化，新聞，商務(wù)，國(guó)際關(guān)系，甚至還有計(jì)算機(jī)課程。選擇的涌現(xiàn)標(biāo)志著中國(guó)進(jìn)入了一個(gè)嶄新的時(shí)代，一個(gè)充滿(mǎn)多樣化的時(shí)代，一個(gè)物質(zhì)與精神都愈加豐富的時(shí)代，一個(gè)中華民族獲得新生的時(shí)代。我們?yōu)檫x擇之多而歡呼雀躍，同時(shí)也深深地感到這一切來(lái)之不易。一個(gè)半世紀(jì)之前，在西方大炮、戰(zhàn)艦的威通下，中國(guó)被迫打開(kāi)了國(guó)門(mén)。經(jīng)過(guò)祖祖輩輩的抗?fàn)幣c犧牲，我們才最終贏得了當(dāng)家作主的機(jī)會(huì)。改革開(kāi)放這個(gè)正確的抉擇使一切發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化。我和其他同齡人一樣，太年輕了、沒(méi)有經(jīng)歷過(guò)中國(guó)人喪失選擇權(quán)的歲月。但是，隨著下個(gè)世紀(jì)的腳步越走越近，我們是該們心自間了:選擇，對(duì)于我們青年一代，到底意味著什么?選擇，是場(chǎng)靠?jī)e幸來(lái)獲勝的游戲嗎?是句不用兌現(xiàn)的空話(huà)嗎?抑或是種讓人知難而退的困境?首先，我認(rèn)為，選擇意味著抓住機(jī)遇。我是英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)三年級(jí)學(xué)生，我所面臨的一個(gè)重大選擇當(dāng)然是畢業(yè)后的去向。我可以攻讀碩士學(xué)位，或在國(guó)內(nèi)，或在國(guó)外。我可以走上工作崗位，做名教師，翻譯，記者，編輯或外交家.實(shí)際上，雙向選擇的體制在我面前鋪開(kāi)了通向各行各業(yè)的大道。說(shuō)真的，這個(gè)選擇并不好做。我愿意在像北京、上海、深圳這樣的大都市里工作，我也盼著能回到雖不那么發(fā)達(dá)卻使我倍感親切的故鄉(xiāng)。我希望可以留在生活節(jié)奏快，令人興奮的沿海地帶，我也愿意扎根于廣炭的中西部地區(qū)，那里雖然條件艱苦，卻有極大的發(fā)展?jié)摿?。所有這一切聽(tīng)上去令人振奮，但它們畢竟只是可能性。有些人面對(duì)五花八門(mén)的選擇挑得眼花繚亂，我要告訴他們:選擇就意味著接受挑戰(zhàn)。對(duì)于我們青年一代，挑戰(zhàn)常以竟?fàn)幍男问匠霈F(xiàn)。到下個(gè)世紀(jì)，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者將不僅只是其他大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，更有各行各業(yè)
