今年,湖南留守(left-behind)女孩钟芳蓉以676分报考北大考古(archaeology)专业,一些网民评论“专业太冷门”“浪费了分数”,认为报考计算机、金融、人工智能等专业更有“钱途”。你是否赞同这些网民的评论,请谈谈你的看法并说明理由。
答案: A left-behind girl Zhong Fangrong applied for a major in archaeology at Peking University with a score of 676, which has been widely discussed by netizens. They suggest she should study computer, finance, artificial intelligence or other majors, which might bring about a better earning journey. However, I strongly support her idea. On the one hand, archaeology major is her dream. Peking University archaeology major as a key subject in the field has a great influence in the world, praised as "the cradle of Chinese archaeologists" and "the center" of Chinese archaeology research. China has a long history of culture and contains varieties of treasures, especially those previous buried underground. She can use what she has learnt to help protect them. On the other hand, we don't know what might happen in future. The hot major this year is not necessarily the hot major next year, and the cold major this year is not necessarily the cold major next year either. The development of archaeology major still depends on the big situation of the future. So it is unnecessary to worry about it. Good luck to the brave girl!
