英語四級聽力美文第15篇:Love and Learning?
Some people say that in the United States the most academically fulfilled college students arethose who have fallen in love. Love is a kind of motivation for learning. They even say that astudent on a US campus will be regarded as eccentric if without a boy/girl friend and thatdating is the most indispensable part of college campus life. Most college students are youngadults who are discovering their place in the world. They discover ideas, information, andopportunities, but they also often discover each other.
Everyday on campus, I see students in love, students hoping for love, and students mourninglost or unrequited love. Love is a kind of motivation for learning — this would be hard to proveor disprove,but real, solid love between two students definitely can bring clarity and focus to astudent’s work. Suddenly, doing well in school may be twice as meaningful. They have eachother to impress and to look to for help and support when things get difficult.I’ve seen thishappen, and like all aspects of true love; it is a beautiful sight. However, love does not arrivefully formed, as if it is something for college students to pick up when they pay their tuition orbuy their books. Getting to know potential romantic partners requires the awkward, time-consuming,and frequently frustrating process called dating. At this stage, relationships are new, unstable, and often chaotic. Do you go on that date or study for the test? Do you sit whereyou can hear the teacher and participate in the class discussion, or do you sit in the back ofthe room where you can see the object of your desire and possibly exchange those all-important glances? Do you risk missing a crucial bit of information or being caught unawarewith a question while you plan your next step in the relationship?Where is your attention, really? On calculus or on how to land that date?
