Whether to Major in Science or Humanities at College?

Nowadays, as the whole society place increasingly considerable value on education, the question of whether to major in science or humanities at college is not only a concern for students, but also a focal point for parents. Some believe that to dig into science is a better choice because it promises us a brighter future; others may hold the opposite view that humanity knowledge is the foundation of humanity quality.

As for me, both arguments are justified. However, I believe that the important thing is not about which subject is better, what matters most is people who will have to make the decision. In other words, we should not lay one-sided emphasis on the advantages of either subject; on the contrary, the students themselves, their interests and preferences, pros and cons are supposed to be taken into consideration. For example, if a student is more adept at humanity and that’s where his real interests lie, then he should dedicate to the study on humanity.
Whether to major in science or humanities is a critical choice for every student because its result has a profound influence on personal career development and life style. Thus we should figure out what we really care about so as not to put the cart before the horse.

Part IV Translation

The Ming Dynasty, which ruled China for 276 years, was depicted as one of the greatest eras characterized by good governance and stable society in human history. During this period, the blossom of handicraft industry accelerated the process of market economy and urbanization. A great deal of commodities, wine and silk included, were available on the market. In the meantime, clocks and tobacco products, among many other foreign goods, were imported. Major commercial centers like Beijing, Nanjing, Yangzhou and Suzhou took shape successively. It was also in the Ming Dynasty that the fleets headed by navigator Zheng He had made seven large-scale expeditions to the Indian Ocean. What's also noteworthy is that three of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature were written in the Ming Dynasty.
