一個學生找老師因為他要寫的bird migration的報告，但找不到足夠多的材料，老師認為不可能材料不夠(出現(xiàn)考點：問教授這話什么意思，答案是她認為找resource應該easy)，男生說因為他要寫得paper是關于古代鳥類遷徙的，所以資料不夠。教授的說：“哦你確實找到了一個好的題目，但是你要知道我的要求是你們的論文要反映你們這學期學了什么。”后來他說想寫關于Aristotle關于這個題目的看法之類的，老師說她的要求是希望他們運用所學知識研究來完成paper 不要做summarization,希望他換一種想法,可以寫以前的old theory, 然后現(xiàn)在的這些新研究如何支持或者駁斥這些theory，接著他想到可以寫bird migrate at night，人們大多只看到大鳥，所以認為小鳥在大鳥的翅膀下遷徙什么的，其實新發(fā)現(xiàn)是因為小鳥晚上飛(通過說這個topic來驗證自己理解了老師的意圖change the topic from ancient to recent)。后來他又想寫一種不遷徙而是冬眠的鳥，又被老師拒絕了，老師說才15頁的報告就不要那么折騰成這樣，但是想法挺不錯。最后老師希望他一周后再來一下，看一看他確定的方向。
　　People think small birds do not migrate. But birds migrate at night and the small birds are under the wing of big wings. So they are invisible to people. Then the student wants to write a bird that not migrate but hibernate, but the teacher denies his idea. At last, the teacher hopes that he can come a week later and see his new topic.
　　He can not find sufficient material for the bird migration. But the teacher thinks it is impossible. They he wants to write some ideas from Aristotle. But the teacher says that her request is to apply their knowledge to accomplish the paper. So he should change the topic.
　　中大網(wǎng)校祝大家：Merry Christmas ！
