我发现word有自动纠正单词错误的功能,相邻字母如果写反了会自动调整,比如”msot”会自动变成”most”,但是如果缺一个字母,则只报错不纠错。这种纠正功能可能是在序列比对算法的基础上的改进,有时间可以研究一下。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; other 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 preference, pros and cons are supposed to be taken into consideration. For example, if a student is more adept at humanity where his real interests lie, then he should dedicate to the study on humanity.
Whether to major in science or humanity 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.
