46. 然而，当看到由无家可归者所建造的花园的照片时，人们会突然间意识到，尽管这些花园风格各异，但它们不仅显示出人们装饰与创意表达的需求，还显示出其他种种基本需求。

47. 无论多么粗陋，一片宁静的圣土显然都是人类需求，而这不同于遮风挡雨的栖息之所，那显然是动物的需求。

Dear Prof. Smith,

On behalf of the Student Union, I would like to invite you to be one of the judges for our English speech contest later this month. The contest is an annual event of our college, which has been held successfully for the past five years. In order to guarantee the contest’s prestige and credibility, we always have a foreign teacher on the jury each year. We have learnt a lot in your public Speaking Course this year, so we would be greatly honored if you could be present at the contest and give comments on our contestants’ performance. 

The contest will be held between 8 to 11 a.m. on the 19th of January in the Lecture Hall. Fifteen students from different departments will participate. For further information, please contact me via e-mail at this address.

We look forward to your presence and please let me know your decision. Thank you for your time and consideration.

                  Yours sincerely,

As clearly implied in the illustration, numerous university graduates stop at a fork in the road, with a puzzled expression on their faces. Lying ahead are four paths in differentdirections. These four pathsactually represent the variousoptionsthat university students are confronted withupon graduation, including hunting for a job, pursuing post-graduate study, studying abroad, and starting their own business. Furthermore, there is a caption under the picture summarizing its meaning, which reads “Choices”. 

The message the illustration conveys is actually a thought-provoking one. Standing at a crossroads in our life, presented withabundant possibilities, we are often confused orindecisive. After years of study, university graduates are for the first time, faced withsuch a wide variety ofchoices, each leading to a different future. The choice has to be made to the exclusion of the others, and the one they make is very likely to determine the course of their life.

From my perspective, the reason why we hesitateand shrink from making a definite decisionwhen we are surrounded by multiple choices, is that we make too many  comparisons. We tend to measure our choice against some other’s life, wondering if we should have taken their path instead, as though all the other possibilities linger forever in a shadow around us. In this case, what we should bear in mind is that every individual is different. We should always concentrate on our uniqueness and choose the right path for ourselves accordingly. Only by adhering to the path which is suitable for us, can we eventually achieve our own dreams.
