来自王梅老师的引言:


本文作者是今年早申阶段斩获藤校达特茅斯录取的人大附ICC齐慕桐同学。无论是在直播中,还是在我们平时的交流中,阅读带来的幸福和收获是她始终强调的。于是,我特邀她写写书单以及自己的推荐,帮助不同专业方向和兴趣领域的同学,找到最适合自己的读物。以下文章是她结合8大藤校以及MIT的官方推荐,分到5大领域:


  • Novel, Memoir, and Poetry:小说、回忆录与诗歌

  • Science and Engineering:科学与工程

  • Technology, Systems, and Society:技术、系统与社会

  • Culture, Humanities, and Social Sciences:文化、人文与社会科学

  • Education, Business, Finance, and Social Impact:教育、商业、金融与社会影响


书单的作用有限,更多还是靠同学们自主的阅读兴趣和学术好奇。这份藤校学姐的书单,是一份爱心引导书,希望对点燃内心学科探索的小火苗有帮助。

正文


在幸运早申下车后,我总会收到这个问题:”如果给正在准备考国外或者考虑走国际这条路的学弟学妹一些建议,你会说些什么?”我总是想不出来,建议可以有很多,太具体或者太笼统都没有参考价值,而且每一个人的申请路都是非常不同的。最后我总会落到放轻松,大环境本身就很卷,只要保持自己稳步前行,争取找到自己所热爱的,不必人云亦云,保持好心态最重要。


但在这之后我总会加一点我觉得最实用的。那就是:多读书!提早开始阅读!提早开始广泛阅读!!!(哈哈哈哈很多感叹号表强调!)


阅读于我而言早就不只是帮助提升英语水平那么简单了,它在无形中极大拓宽了我的视野,帮助我在整个自我探索、到后面申请阶段都更加清晰地认识自己、认识世界。如果时光倒流,我一定会鼓励自己在高中前的每个假期都至少涉猎三本不同领域的书籍,无论它们是否与我的兴趣点直接相关。这样的阅读积累,能让我在高中时更准确地定位自己的热爱,进而深入探究。


申请过程中,撰写个人文书也是至关重要的一环。我们每一个人都有故事,但是,怎样讲好自己的故事才是最重要的,也是需要学习、练习的。怎么学?对于我个人来说,阅读帮我向大学讲明白了自己是谁。书籍能为我们的文书提供素材、增添色彩,书中的情节、观点或金句利用好,更能向招生官展示自己的阅读广度、深度以及独特的思考角度。同时,阅读也是学习如何有效叙事、构建逻辑框架的绝佳途径,我就是从中最终找到了属于自己的独特”讲故事“风格。


在我初高中时期,我也参考了许多大学的暑期书单,挑选了一些书籍进行阅读。下面,我将根据不同领域,为大家推荐一些来自美国顶尖大学最新暑期书单中的佳作,这些书籍不仅在各自领域内具有深远的影响,更深受我和身边同学的喜爱。


当然,最终,我认为读书带来的兴奋快乐和全新视角才是最大的收获。功利地去读舒适圈外或专业相关性强的书籍很重要,但读些让自己开心、愉悦的杂书也一样是精神养分。祝大家阅读愉快!

Technology, Systems, and Society

技术、系统与社会


Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick



这本书源自Stanford’s Daily针对不同专业学生的夏日阅读推荐。对于有志于计算机科学(CS)领域的朋友而言,这部1968年的反乌托邦经典之作绝对不容错过。它是电影《银翼杀手》的灵感源泉,书中描绘了一个因全球核战争而支离破碎的地球,人类被迫在地球之外建立殖民地,并依赖高度发达的安卓助手生活。然而,当部分安卓开始叛变并潜回地球时,一切都变得不再平静。对于喜欢探讨AI未来影响、或是对计算机科学中伦理课程感兴趣的学生来说,这本书无疑将带来一次既刺激又发人深省的阅读体验。即便是像我这样非CS专业的学生,在阅读过程中也收获了满满的乐趣,并对这一领域产生了更浓厚的兴趣!
