"Useful" and "useless" are originally the relationship of unity of opposites and interdependence. There is no "useful" or "useless"; There is no "useless" and no "useful". In order to apply what you have learned, it is natural to attach importance to useful things, but you can't be quick and quick. You should only talk about "realism", not "romanticism". People still have spiritual aspirations and need ethereal detachment.
There are different views on whether we should "think more about useless value" when living in today's rich material. A teacher at Fudan University said that "usefulness" can help students get full stomachs and gain economic independence after they set foot in society. Social development is useless and unsustainable. He is not worried that students don't have lofty ideals, but he yearns for the realm of "uselessness" prematurely and ignores basic skills. There is no shortage of "useless" thinking, but there is no shortage of "useful" talents.
This statement cannot be said to be unreasonable, but unfortunately it is one-sided. Students can't ignore learning "useful" things, so that they can "eat their stomachs and gain economic independence after they set foot in society" and even live a rich life. However, people are different from animals, not living is everything, and they are not only concerned about "useful" things that help to maintain their own survival and reproduction. Man is the soul of the universe. "Life is a rich network of meaning", which needs a lot of "useless" but "meaningful" things to enrich the soul. People should survive in pragmatism and improve in retreat. Those things that can lift the spirit, although useless to "eat a full stomach", are often more noble than "useful" things. For example, the meat of pigs and sheep can be eaten, which is undoubtedly "useful", while dragons and phoenixes are the product of fantasy and "useless" to people's real life. However, the status of dragons and phoenixes is much higher than that of pigs and sheep, and "uselessness" is better than "usefulness", because dragons and phoenixes are auspicious symbols and meet people's spiritual demands. For another example, plums have seeds and flowers. Plums are fruits and can be eaten, but plums are not practical and can only be appreciated by people. However, people have always praised plum blossoms, not plums. Famous sentences such as "the shadow is shallow, the fragrance floats on the moon and dusk" express feelings by borrowing things in aesthetics, praise people's elegant character and quiet interest, and effectively meet people's spiritual needs. In this way, plum blossom and poetry become "useless". The growth of young students. It is the growth of survival skills, but also the growth of good spirit, which requires "thinking more about useless values."
At the same time, the value of paying attention to "uselessness" lies in breaking the current mentality of quick success and instant benefit. Everything can't be immediate, but "look at the scenery for a long time." Many important discoveries and inventions in human history were initially considered "useless". Faraday discovered that electromagnetic induction was initially confined to the laboratory and was once ridiculed as "useless". Faraday replied, "So what's the use of a newborn baby?" Subsequently, the motor was invented by using the electromagnetic principle, and mankind entered the electrical age, "useless becomes useful." Nowadays, the society is full of impatience and impetuousness, and it is against the law of things to be eager to "eat fat". It is difficult for science and technology education to cultivate outstanding top-notch talents, so there is Qian Xuesen's question. The interpretation of this problem will naturally involve many reasons, but the most important one is to be quick and quick, eager for success, only seeking "usefulness" and not "uselessness". To cultivate excellent "useful" talents, we need to calm down and be ambitious and concentrate on research to achieve "useless and useful". At present, the lack of "useful talents" is not because there are too many useless ideas, but because there are too few useless ideas. Based on this, I think it is of positive significance to put forward "think more about useless values"
Test analysis:
1. About the exam questions
Some people think they are doing a useful thing, but they find it worthless; Some people like to do useless things, but what they leave behind will be of great use to future generations. This is a speculative and philosophical material. "Useful things" and "useless things" are two important concepts in materials science. "Useful things" are preceded by "self-righteous" and followed by "worthless", which means that "useful things" are not really useful, or can only be said to be temporarily useful, effective in the short term, really useless in the long term, or harmful to people. "Useless things" is preceded by the word "like" and followed by the phrase "what remains is infinitely useful". It can be seen that "useless things" are not useless, but they can't be seen for a short time, or the effect is not obvious for a while, but in the long run, they are very beneficial to the development of life and are really useful things. The author or proposer intentionally criticizes people who "do useful things" because it turns out that doing useful things is of little value. At the same time, people who "do useless things" are affirmed, because they can "benefit future generations endlessly"

On the contrary, "useless things" refer to a lot, advocating career ideals and spiritual life in the heart; Things that have nothing to do with promotion, wealth, fame and fortune, but can enrich emotions and nourish the spirit; Choose livelihood projects that benefit the people and ecological construction that respects nature; Indifferent to fame and fortune, not seeking utility, really enjoying life; Choose an unpopular major that can't make a fortune and leave something commendable; Teacher education that pays attention to children's hearts and interests; Dilute scores and oppose the educational behavior of educating people first in exam-oriented education; Pay attention to learning methods, cultivate good habits, cultivate civilized manners and noble morality in school education; Advocate students to read, improve reading literacy and cultivate reading ability; Desalinate the thought of material desire and fame, get close to nature with literature and purify the soul; Get close to cultural celebrities and enter classic reading activities; Adhere to national integrity and carry forward national morality; Adhere to ideals and beliefs; Maintain the traditional virtue of hard work and simplicity.
2. About conception. The intention is to start from the material, which is the excavation and refining of the material. Candidates should accurately interpret what is the so-called "useful thing" and what is the "useless thing" in some people's eyes, and then reveal the truth or essence that "useful thing" is only temporarily useful, short-term effective, long-term useless, and harmful to life or social development. At the same time, it needs to be analyzed that "useless things" actually contain useful truth, but it is not obvious for the time being, and it is not obvious in the long run. Useless use is great use, because it is a matter of spiritual world and spiritual level, related to people's ideological and moral cultivation, related to the basic quality, ability requirements and happiness pursuit of life development. Candidates can focus on one aspect and give consideration to the other, but they should understand the dialectical relationship between truth and "usefulness" and "uselessness", which is the key to the examination of the topic and an important factor to judge the intention of the composition examination.
