“以自己的\'生命影响大学堂仔的生命”，她是“大学宿舍的灵魂”。1月19日，香港大学把“荣誉院士”授予了一位真名叫做袁苏妹的82岁扫地老太。老太从未接受过学校教育，一生只会写5个字;老太也没做过什么惊天动地的伟业，只是44年如一日地坚守在学校后勤工作的一线;老太清心淡定，面对殊誉，坦言“我的生活没有什么变化”。

12月27日，河南省文物局在北京召开新闻发布会宣布，位于河南安阳安丰乡西高穴村的一座东汉古墓就是千年来一直扑朔迷离的曹操墓。这一消息公布后，国内一些专家和媒体提出了质疑，而河南省文物局也拿出了不少证据，坚定地认为他们找到的就是曹操墓。河南省文物局确认曹操墓坐落在安阳后，不仅河北邯郸质疑声不断，就连曹操的家乡安徽亳州也迅速派人前来了解情况。亳州市文物管理处处长薛冰说：“安徽亳州也对曹操墓充满期待，亳州的城市形象定位之一就是曹魏故里，同时，亳州也拥有曹操祖父曹腾宗族
墓。因此，我们认为曹操也有葬在亳州的可能性。不论曹操葬在哪里，曹操的故里在亳州，这上不争的事实。”
目前，曹操墓是否在河南?这座东汉大墓是否是曹操墓?正反双方都争论的很激烈。这也从一个侧面印证了“曹操”作为知名历史文化品牌，在现在乃至将来，仍然是一笔蕴藏着巨大社会价值的无形资产。因此追寻文明踪迹，寻访历史遗迹，传承历史文化，已成为时代潮流。

[参考范文]
The two pictures look so similar at one glance, but they are totally different. In the first picture, a peasant boy, carrying a heavy bundle of rice straw is out of breath under the great pressure. His hope is to have a school to attend. In the second picture, a student is on his way home from school, a heavy bag of books on his back. What he wishes is that he didn’t have to go to school any more. How can the two boys at the same age have such different ideas about attending school?
The two pictures show some problems in the present education system in China. In the poor countryside, especially in some western parts of China, the education is also poor. There are no buildings for classrooms, let alone good teachers. Children there cannot have regular education. They are sometimes forced to leave their studies because their families cannot afford the necessary fees. However, the situation is totally different in the cities. Almost all the children in the cities can have regular education. They can enjoy the bright classrooms and adequate facilities. But they have their own problems. What they face is the endless homework, which puts so much pressure on them that some students don’t want to continue their studies.
Given the problems above, our government has taken some measures. “The Hope Project” has been in operation to ensure that children in the poor areas can achieve education. Some strategies have also been put into force to reduce the pressure on the students. Teachers are asked not to give too much homework. Emphasis should be put on the improvement of the quality of the students. However, there is a long way to go in the improvement of our education conditions. The whole society should be mobilized to make some contributions to our education.
