1)近几年大学校园内出现“考证热”

　　2)产生这一现象的原因

　　3)你的看法

　　In recent years, getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing; quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?

　　There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.

　　From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.

　　近年来，获得证书已成为大学生的新热潮。随便问一个学生在校园里他或她正忙着做什么，你可以得到的答案很有可能是他或她在为某种形式的证书做准备。为什么会出现这种热潮？

　　现象背后主要有两种原因。首先，就业压力迫使大学生获得更多的证书。随着大学的扩招，越来越多的毕业生在就业市场面临激烈的竞争。如何让自己更有竞争力？也许是更多的证书在手。二，文凭和证书仍然是很多雇主衡量一个人能力的重要标准。为了增加就业机会，学生强迫自己一个接着另一个的考试。

　　从我的角度来看，当谈到证书时我们应该理智，因为证书不一定证明自己的能力。疯狂盲目的获得证书只不过是浪费时间。最后，我们应着重于提高我们的能力，而不是得到一个没有实际价值的证书。

　　Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions. Some think yes, while others hold the opposite.

　　It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. It is a common view that "money is the root of all evil." The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.

　　So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness l Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.
