2009华南师大附中高三英语综合测试(三）

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

China is beginning a debate on whether it's wise for young people to have to choose which direction their careers – and lives – will take at such an early age. At the moment, in their second year of high school, students must choose either the sciences or the humanities（文科）. After making the choice, they focus their energies on passing the appropriate college entrance exam. It sounds rather like my own situation a quarter-century ago: at 16, I said goodbye to chemistry and physics, just as my fellow students had seen the last of history and French. But now, people in China are asking: Is this forced, early decision good for young people or society? Young people, being young, don't always know what they want. They need time to explore, to discover where their real talents and interests lie. There are more than just a few middle-aged people out there, stuck in jobs they hate because they made the wrong choice at the wrong time.

And from the point of view of society, isn't it better for students to delay a while before they specialize? Scientists can benefit from learning to develop the critical skills associated with the humanities; students in the humanities, surely, only stand to gain by finding out a little more about science and technology, which are so important to the future of a developing country like China.
