中央电视台播出的文化节目"朗读者"深受大众喜爱，每一期都对我们进行了心灵的洗礼。它第一期的话题为"遇见"。你们学校的英语俱乐部也在开展关于"遇见"的分享交流活动。请你以"遇见"为题谈一谈：你何时何地与你最好的朋友相遇，当时发生了什么，你有什么感受

    How important is your appearance? Although everyone wants to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person.

    Some people think that women who are exceptionally(格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive(无魅力的) people can be intelligent(智慧的).

    On the other hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that even your mother doesn't want to look at; and no one wants to be plain, either--that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten. Being attractive is like being rich. It can help you find happiness, but it doesn't always make you happy.

    So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be an interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces, and interesting faces are almost always attractive.

Situation：Suppose your class are having a discussion about what kind of pen friend you would like to have. Please write about your opinion(s) and give reasons. (假设你们班里正在进行一项讨论，主题是关于希望拥有怎样的笔友，请谈谈你的想法和理由)

As new technologies continue to develop, many students are choosing to study STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and math) so they can get good jobs later. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}They need ideas from artists, historians and sociologists(社会学家)— in other words, people who major in liberal arts(主修文科). 

Learning how to program is not enough. The US writer Scott Hartley mentioned it in his book. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} He points out that soft skills, including communication, collaboration(合作) and understandings of social problems, are of equal importance. 

One possible solution is to put liberal arts and STEM studies together. In fact, Lewis University in the US has started to offer a set of courses called " CS + X".{#blank#}4{#/blank#} At the University of Vermont, a program called Engineering Management connects engineering with business. Engineers need to understand markets while business people need to learn engineering.
