7、e and more visitors, some of whom are parents of prospective students searching for a sense of the atmosphere of the school before deciding to get their kids enrolled and others are tourists who regard some notable institutions like Beijing University and Tsinghua University as scenic spots during L
8、abor Day and National Day vacations. But the issue has drawn public attention and triggered heated debate over whether it will harm safety or distract students from studying. In my opinion, universities should open to the public.First of all, opening the university would not only siphon visitors fro
9、m other crowded scenic spots, but also can satisfy peoples respect and interest in education and culture. Undoubtedly, it is advisable when people choose to visit universities rather than casinos. In the United States, most top universities are open to the public, even after 9.11, be it Harvard or Y
10、ale. The goal is not to make revenue from tourists, but to pique curiosity and interest in institutions of higher learning. China has invested profusely in universities, especially in the past two decades. What we are waiting for are the long-term benefits of training talents. However the intangible
11、 benefits of this practice are more far-reaching.Secondly, these universities are state-owned and should serve public interests. Alarge quantity of the money that the government has invested in the school comes from taxpayers. Even funds raised by the university itself are from those who take it as
12、public resources. University visitors consist of parents and their children from all walks of life, so they are entitled to have access to public resources. These parents only hope their children can experience the schools cultural atmosphere and encourage them to aim high for their future. Besides,
13、 it is also helpful for the university to build its good image, publicize itself, and reach out to common people. In a word, the spirit of openness is called on in the issue while common visitors should cherish this golden opportunity and help to maintain a good order on campus. Only by mutual respe
14、ct and efforts, can this practice develop into a long-lasting tradition.参考范文2 Students Rights Should Be RespectedBeijing University closed its gates to public visitors some time ago due to security reasons because it had been overwhelmed by the increasing number of visitors including parents and the
15、ir middle-school children and other sightseers. And its cap on visitors has drawn attention and triggered debate. Some say, by closing its gates. Beijing University does not have right to reject visitors because it is funded with public money. Others are in favor of the universitys concern of campus
16、 safety and order for students might be distracted from studying if visitors are allowed to keep pouring in. As a student myself, I share the latter viewpoint.First, visitors disturb the quiet environment and good order on campus, which does harm to students study. Beijing Universitys campus has a f
17、ine environment and a rich cultural atmosphere. I admit that visitors can appreciate its beautiful scenery and humanist taste. But we should not overlook the consequences of incoming visitors as they may turn the university into a park. Since the primary purpose of the ancient buildings is to accomm
18、odate the school faculty and students, their function is in question when they are mostly occupied by tourists. In that case, the school management will be significantly affected and the rights and interests of teachers and students sacrificed. We do have better ways to satisfy the needs of taxpayer
19、s.Second, for a park to be ready to open to the public, it will receive an adequate fund to arrange for enough security and needed facilities. As beautiful as any park, the university should be funded if it is open to the public all the time at no charge. With the shortage of security guards and cle
20、aning staff, visitors safety and interests cannot be guaranteed. Who can afford to see that universities are turned into garbage dumps and amusement parks one day? Perhaps the first question to ask here is Do we still want those universities to be universities?Taking the above reasons into consideration, I totally agree with the cap on visitors of Beijing University. Towards this issue one thing that should not be ignored is that school authorities have spared no efforts to offer convenience to campus visitors, but they cannot be further burdened because they are not tourist officials.)解析:
