这两天喉咙依然不见好转，尽管不停地吃药。喉咙又干又痛，而且有异物感，非常辛苦。和别人开怀畅谈已成了过眼云烟，我已经不知道什么时候可以恢复到以前的状态了，想想也真够可怜的。小杰以前说我总喜欢自怜自艾，现在看来果真如此，呵呵！

喉咙虽然不行，可是生活依旧继续，开学第一周，忙碌的学习与各种各样的事情快把我压得喘不过气来了。每天都是上课看书和忙班里的一些事情，等到我的BEC培训班和语法班开课以后就更加停不下来了。忙碌的生活虽然有时给我压力很大，可是也有不少好处，起码让我不去想很多东西，比如说不去想我的喉咙，不去想不高兴的事情，不去想过去很多的东西。晚上累得不得了，一躺下床就很快入睡了，连想的念头都没有。终于明白为什么很多白领阶层的人遇到不如意的事情时总喜欢用工作来麻醉自己。借酒销愁愁更愁，可是工作却不会这样。当忙完一切时，我就喜欢在电脑上敲写自己的日记和英文章。这也是我一天最放松的时刻了！

现在的我比以前乐观很多，虽然也有情绪的低落，可是很快就过去。当不好的事情发生时，我们要勇敢地面对，而不是逃避。这句话我小学就知道了，可是到现在，我才基本做到了。要培养一个豁达的心境，真的不容易~~其实生活中总是充满感动与关怀的，起码我的生活是这样。当我喉咙有事这段时间，家人和好友，当然还有我自己都使尽了浑身解数。母亲在电话里头充满了焦虑，叫我去看医生啊，吃中药啊，还有不要说太多话。还记得晓曼叫他医生表哥给我开的药以及那一袋菊花，志智的那一瓶黄氏响声丸，敏鹏的甘桔冰梅片，还有康仕的那一瓶喷雾......一个多月以来，当我看到桌上床边摆满了他们给的各种药，虽然我吃得很辛苦，可是也吃得很开心，很感动。虽然到现在为止我的喉咙还没好，可是我的心已经好了，被大家的关怀治好了！记得那天去南山医院看病，敏鹏知道以后还特地带我去，因为他认识那里的一个医生，可是免去我排队的痛苦，当然也免了我不少医药费。酷热的天气，当我们走到南山医院时全身都湿透了。那一刻我终于深深感受到了一个老师说过的话：好同学不用多，一个就够了。可是我却拥有不止一个啊~~~呵呵~~~

这个暑假还收到了两份特别的手信：一份是英国留学回来的小杰送的一件蓝白相间的毛衣，还有一份是竹静从美国夏威夷带回来的T-shirt。真的好奇怪，怎么两个人都买了衣服给我。难道他们都知道我喜欢买衣服？哈哈。当小杰把那件毛衣给我时，我瞪大了双眼，问他为什么在这么热的天气送我毛衣，他说很快冬天就来了，可以派上用场了，真是晕死我~~不过不管怎样，收到越洋的手信，我还是很乐意接收的，哈哈~~~

Topic: People often look at similarities, even between very different things, and even when it is unhelpful or harmful to do so. Instead, a thing should be considered on its own terms, and we should avoid the tendency to compare it to something else.

Our world is a diverse entity that comprises a variety of creatures and lifeless substances. Moreover, its diversification is increasingly deepening at a staggering speed with time passing by. Witnessing the growing diversification of all the things on our planet, it is more than natural for us to seek the inherent similarities between them both physically and essentially. Through singing out their similarities, we can have a better understanding of the two subjects, which may contribute to a better exploitation of them. For instance, through comparing birds and human beings, we came to realize that birds could fly with two wings, while human could not without them. Then we went all out to imitate the birds by devising some similar vehicles that had two man-made wings like birds. Through trials and errors, Brother Wright eventually invented the first plane successfully, which became a remarkable landmark for the start of the aviation industry. This example can strongly justify that comparison does have numerous favorable effects on our development. Therefore I strongly oppose the point in the latter part of the topic that a thing should be considered on its own terms, and we should avoid the tendency to compare it to something else.

Now let's come back to the former part of the topic. The author claims that people often look at similarities, even between very different things, and even when it is unhelpful or harmful to do so. I keep skeptical towards this viewpoint. First of all, I think it nonsense to make such a statement that people often look at similarities even between very different things! If two things are almost the same, the similarities are obvious, so why do we still need to "look at" them? Most of the time, we are trying to explore similarities between different things, especially when they are remarkably different. Of course, I do not mean that we should compare everything with another even though they are radically irrelevant. For example, it is totallyridiculous for us to compare birds with cups, for the comparison provides no practical information for us at all. We compare two things that are somewhat relevant to each other and the comparison can give us some guidance. A common and typical illustration can be made that by comparing two anti-cough drugs we can know their disease-curing abilities and their side effects, so that we can make an appropriate choice when we come down with cough.

To conclude, all the assertions in the topic are not logically and reasonably correct. From my perspective, I think we need proper and practical comparison!
