News Review

Learn to swim. Do you want to study in Tsinghua(清華) University? If your answer is yes, you need to be able to swim or get prepared to learn to swim from now on. Recently, the university has made a new rule that students must pass the 50-meter swimming test to finish school. This rule has been brought into a broad discussion. Some agree with it because it can help students do more sports, but others disagree. They believe that it doesn’t respect their personal wishes. It shouldn’t be a must for graduation. What’s your opinion?

______________________“Thomas Edison was an great inventor in the US. When he was seven, her mother caught a serious illness so she had to receive an operation(手術(shù))in time. However, the room was too dark. So Edison brought a mirror and an oil lamp to light the room. How smart he was.” This story comes from the Chinese textbook for Grade-two students in the primary school. But recently, many people believe it was not true because the first operation about that illness in the world took place in 1886. Edison reached seven years old in 1854. Some people wonder why the story appears in the textbook. Maybe that’s because the editor(編輯) cares too much about the educational meaning without checking whether it was true or not.

The most popular reasons given were, “ I love the feeling of holding the books and the smell of the paper, and I won’t end up with headache and sore eyes.
