上星期三，《虎報》Broad Education 一欄，有一篇發人深省的文章，內容是關於應屆狀元的。以下節錄部分段落與各位分享：

Most people might regard straight-A students as gentle, knowledgeable and far-sighted.

But one reporter who interviewed them noticed most of them have something in common – they have no dreams and no targets.

Many of the top-notch students were apparently lost for words when asked about their ambitions. Others gave strange answers.

One said he wants to become a school prefect, the reason being that he will enjoy power and prestige. So he does not want to become a prefect to serve his school.

Another said he wants to become a lawyer. And he chose this profession because he is impressed by a soap opera about lawyers.

He is inspired by a love story and not the fight for righeousness. He also could not say whether the qualities he possesses will make him a good lawyer.

看到這樣的報導，令栗子妹覺得很心痛。這個社會事事以利為先，大家一窩蜂的追求名與利，漸漸地，公平、正義等理念便成絕響。成人的世界早已如是，沒想過青少年的天空也會如此。

不錯，好成績是投身社會的入場券，但人是否會成材，還是取決於個人價值觀。

難怪會考和高考的狀元在一天風光過後，大多都消聲匿跡，成了營營役役、默默無名的一群。
