Students are playing around the stocks China's stock market is luring students looking to see how their textbook teachings fare in real life. While there are no concrete data on student-investor,business professors say that the market boom has boosted a number of students looking to play around the stocks. They invest in the stock market with money from their parents and sometimes with amount equal to several times their annual tuition. Some people are alarmed at the trend. As investing in the stock market involves many risks,they say,college students are likely to lose, which may put them at risk. However, some are supportive. As more and more students become shareholders, they will help raise general quality of shareholders and they will be more rational stock buyers in securities market, which is actually a good thing. In my opinion, college students may give stock investment a try if it is possible. Stock investment may be a way to make fast money and help finance students' schooling. Even if the college students are likely to lose, it may still bring a valuable investment experience.

Abilities are more important than Appearance We are often told not to judge people by their appearance, because for a person, abilities are far more important than appearance.Throughout history, there are numerous examples of outstanding people with remarkable achievements who are only plain or not good-looking at all However,some people hold the belief that appearance outweighs abilities, partly because some beautiful people seem to have advantages in competitive situations like job interviews and have been given more opportunities than others. Nevertheless, I still firmly believe that appearance is more important. For one thing,although good looks are easy on the eye,it is always abilities that create values that really matter. For another,while people's appearance were born to them,abilities have to be gained through deliberate self-cultivation and years of hardworking which speaks more of people's true colors. Last but not least,abilities grow over time while good looks only fade. Eventually,the abilities help people succeed. So it is safe to say that abilities will bring more to life than good looks.

Chopstick Chopstick is the main tableware in China. Chinese children start a spoon but will adapt to chopsticks when they turn one. As a gift, chopsticks symbolize straightforwardness just like their shape.Chinese chopsticks don't have pointed tips, most of them are made of bamboo. Certainly, you can see wooden and plastic ones. Western people eat with forks and knives. Some of them may be quite good at using chopsticks, but most of them are not. Therefore, setting a table at which western people are entertained in China, it is advisable to place knives and forks alongside the chopsticks.

Smile Bridges Gap among People The saying ''A smile is the shortest distance between 2 people'' has been shared by people through out the world. However, the high-pressure living of modern society makes people full of apartness and the relationship between human becomes more and more distant. In my opinion, smile really a powerful antidote to this phenomenon, while can not only bridge the gap but also break down the barriers between heart and heart. Have you watched the ad in which one little baby's smile cheers up everyone in the elevator? Just like a poet once said, ''My favorite flower is the one that blossoms on the face.'' Have you smiled today? If not, let's smile together.

Preparation is The Way to Success Lincoln's famous remark makes it evident that making full preparation is essential to those who want to achieve success.Therefor, smart people prepare things well in advanced so that they outperform those with little or no preparation. Preparation can male a difference on our way to success.For one thing,preparation helps us find the best efficient way to do things.Those with no preparation may use the first method they can think of, but chances are there are other methods out there they can do things better and faster. For another,preparation makes us ready when opportunity comes. We shouldn't prepare ourselves only when we have a project ahead. Even when there is no project, we should keep building skills and knowledge. That way when opportunity comes we will be ready to grab it. As university students, only when we attach great importance to full preparation can we attend our goal and achieve success. As an old saying goes, ''Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.''
