My View on the “Campus Star” Contest

At an age of character and individuality being encouraged and

demonstrated, we see various “stars” pop up—singing stars, dancing stars, movie stars and sport stars, etc. Many schools even hold contests to choose their “Campus Stars”. Although these activities make our cultural life on campus more colorful and varied, a lot of problems spring up at the same time.

First of all, these activities can result in the swelling of vanity in some students, making them become arrogant, or even feel superior to other students. Moreover, these activities can greatly distract the students from their study. In order to become a star, they will, without any doubt, spend a lot of time and energy on the preparation and

competition. The focus of their academic life will be shifted, and even worse, they can become too enthusiastic about extracurricular activities and hate the academic knowledge and skills they need to grasp for their future development.

On the whole, I think these various “Campus Star” contests should be controlled on the campus. After all, schools are different from any other social institutions. Extracurricular activities should be

encouraged, but they should be helpful to the students academic study and all-round development.

The university opening ceremonythe deeply impressing feelings are as much a part of me now as they were a year ago.

As the day to register and become a freshman in FDU approached, meant I was finally coming of age. Soon I would be on my own,making my own decisions and doing what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder.

Despite months of anticipation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual thousands of new comers sitting on the broad lawn in front of the famous XiangHui Auditorium, listening to the speeches by the principal and student representatives, I felt myself consumed by a rush of both joy and nervousness. What would college be like? Would the other students like me? And what about the workwould I be able to keep up? Being a student in high school seemed to offer little assurance of my being able to survive college, especially in FDU which is abundant of excellent counterparts. Panic set had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year;I didn＇t quite enjoy the idea of being on the bottom rung of the ladder was not assured whether I wanted to grow up after all.

As if in a daze, I rose up with my new classmates around to show respect to the school song which was to be performed. As the solemn music flowed, I knew that I was hearing not just a song but the foot step of a brand new life. Exciting as the prospeet of a new life seemed, it wasn＇t quite easy saying goodbye to the old onethe familiar faces, the familiar routine. I would eyen miss those days when fully engaged in preparing for the college entrance exams though they were so tiring and the long commute between home and school that took me several hours each week. Good or bad, it was that I knew.

This September, I was one of the volunteers to welcome the new comers and guide them around the campus. I found the familiar mixed feelings shown on their faces. I needn＇t have worried about if I would like FDU, since my year here has turned out to be one of the best years of my life. Although going back to those days is impossible, it＇s comforting to know I can revisit my special memories any time.

There is a famous saying in Chinese proverb that Gold can’t be pure and nobody is perfect. But only few people realize its essence. Accepting the imperfection is the lesson that everybody should learn. The things they complain maybe the advantages in other people’s eyes. Shortcoming is part of human nature, so just be nice to it.

有一句著名的中国谚语，金无足赤，人无完人。但只有很少人意识到这句话的本意。接受不完美是每个人都应该学习的课程。他们抱怨的东西也许在别人的眼里反而是优点。缺点是人类本性的一部分，所以要乐于接受自己的缺点。

Nowadays, people are easy influenced by the hot comment. Someone asked the question of what gift should he buy for his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day with the budget of 200 RMB. Someone answered the best gift was freedom. A lot of people applauded for the wonderful reply. Another story about a girl was moved by his boyfriend’s gift of a cheap handbag, because the boy spent a lot of time choosing it. The most precious thing the girl received was the boy’s sincere heart.

如今，人们很容易受到热门评论的影响。有人提出了这样的问题，在情人节他该买什么礼物给他的女朋友，只有200元预算的情况下。有人回答最好的礼物是自由。很多人为这精彩的回答鼓掌。另一个关于一个女孩的故事，她男朋友送了她便宜的手袋，她却非常感动，因为那个男孩花了很多时间去选取这个礼物，女孩收到了最宝贵的东西，那就是男孩真诚的心。

Things can be much different if we change the way to treat others. Don’t be so hard on other people, life will be much easier and happier. Some parents think their kids are not good enough for not getting the high mark, actually, talent differs in many children. If adults accept their children’s imperfection, both the children and them can live the happy life.

如果我们改变对待他人的方式，事情就会不一样。别对其他人那么苛刻，生活就会更容易和更快乐。一些父母认为他们的孩子做得不够好，没有得到高分，实际上，每个孩子的天赋都是不一样的，如果大人能接受孩子的不完美，那么孩子和他们都能过上快乐的生活。

everybody has his friends. some people like to choose friends who are different from themselves while others prefer those who are similar to themselves. each of the choices has its advantages.

when people have friends similar to themselves， they and their friends can chat， play， and do things together harmoniously. the result is that they all feel relaed and can truly enjoy each others company.

when a guy has friends different from himself， the advantage he has is that he can benefit from the contacts with different people. his friends may be different from him in character， education， occupation， social status， or political and religious beliefs. from those friends， he can learn a lot of things that he has never eperienced himself and he can also enjoy being with thera when they know each other well.

Discovery is not such a big and noble word that only experts and scientists are entitled to use. In fact, every one of us makes discoveries as we grow. For example, a baby will find out how he can play with his toy car after he has tried several times. We will discover how to ride a bike skillfully after practicing again and again.

Often a discovery brings great joy to the person who makes it. You will certainly be delighted when you find the thing you have been looking for. You will be extremely happy when you one day realize that you have learned and mastered a skill or method which was almost too difficult for you at the beginning.

Sometimes, however, discovery means regret or even pain. You witt feet great regret when you find that you have hurt one of your friends or one of your family members. You will surelybe disappointed when you discover that you failed in the examination for which you have prepared for a tong time. Joy or sorrow as it may bring, discovery is an integral part of our life.

熊猫因其稀少的数量和可爱的外型成为了国宝。许多外国人都喜欢熊猫，他们忍不住想要一直看着这些可爱的生物。尽管已经采取行动来保护熊猫，但是如何维护保护区需要每个人的努力。

In the early 1990s, panda had caught the world’s attention, because the scholars found that they were dying out, so they called for the government to protect these precious creatures. The most important thing was to return to the green, because many people cut the trees for making profits. The habitat was destroyed badly. Now part of the green has been recovered, but it is still long time task to maintain the conservation area.

在20世纪90年代早期，熊猫已经引起了全世界的注意，因为学者们发现它们正在面临灭绝，所以他们呼唤政府保护这些珍贵的动物。最重要的是要归还绿色，因为许多人为了获取利润砍伐树木。栖息地被破坏严重了。现在部分绿色得到了恢复，但仍然需要长时间去维护保护区。

For example, we should not throw rubbish away and call on people around us to pay attention to protect the environment. The small things we do will make a big difference in helping maintain the habitat.

Today when I was relatively free，I mucked around some of my previous classmates’ QQ zones . I surprisingly found that after more than one year’s college life，they are becoming more and more mature，both physically and spiritually . I got that they all lead a meaningful and fruitful life in their school，though study burden is just like a ghost always haunting them . but in my viewpoint，I think pressure is essential and crucial to most of us，unless you have a strong control of yourself and can study without others’ mention . under a given pressure，we will be enforced to do what is indeed good for us but enjoys little popularity among us .

So fairly often when we look back to the past，we may feel guilty at wasting so much time，but simultaneously it will make us rejoice that we have been obliged to do those which turn out to be good for us . so to a large extent，what you loathe may probably do enormous good to you . on the other hand，even though the thing you are compelled to do does no good to you at all，it is also beneficial for you to accept the reality，because many a time in our life，we have no right to choose but to be chosen . life may not always go our way，which indicates if we cannot do following our original wish，we have to face the music and accomplish well what we ought to or have to do . it is also a kind of capability to do well what we disrelish，which implies we have been mature and seen the essence of life through .

In the past，when I was doing something compulsory but useless，I would always nag at it all the time till I finally got away from it . but now，I will show another story . I will also try my best to fulfil my task，and go all out to develop what I am inclined to within all the controllable factors . I hold that since you have started，why not give it as well as yourself a perfect ending？no matter it is favorable or not，fulfilling a task successfully and excellently can show and cultivate your practical ability . hence I deeply believe only by doing so can we achieve the utmost benefit within extremely limited resources.

就是给定一个已排序的数组，返回一个字符串数组，每个字符串表示为元素区间的合并，

本题是典型的two pointer 问题。

思路：

一次遍历，使用two pointer方法，from 表示区间的起始元素，to表示区间的结束元素。

如果相邻元素nums[i]和nums[i-1]差值为1，区间范围+1：to = nums[i] ，注意最后元素的处理。

否则：

如果from不等于to：

将range = [from,to]添加到解集中，并更新from的位置。

如果from和to相等：

将range=from(或to)添加到解集

注意末尾元素的判断（如果已打末尾，添加末尾元素）

实现代码：

public class Solution { public IList SummaryRanges(int[] nums) { if( == 0){return new List ; } if( == 1){return new List (){nums[0].ToString()}; } var from = nums[0]; var to = nums[0]; var ret = new List (); for(var i = 1 ;i < ; i++){if(nums[i] - nums[i-1] == 1){ to = nums[i]; if(i == - 1){ (({0}->{1}, from , to)); }}else{ if(from != to){ (({0}->{1}, from , to)); if(i == - 1 && to != nums[ - 1]){ (nums[i].ToString()); } } else{ (()); if(i == - 1){ (nums[i].ToString()); } } from = nums[i]; to = nums[i];} } return ret; }}
