大家好，我是鸿琳老师，欢迎来到我的汉字频道。

这是我的第一条推送。今天我要和你们分享的是，人，中国人的人，人们的人。

人，是一个象形字，也就是说，这个字像一幅画，把人长什么样，用汉字画了出来。最开始的“人“字，是一个把身体转向他的右边站着的人，他的身体就是我们写”人“字时，右边的那一撇，然后这个人往前伸出了一只他的手，也就是我们”人“字的左边一撇。后来，这个人的手伸得越来越长，那两撇，已经像人的两条腿了。也就是我们现在写的“人“字啦。

那含有“人“字的词语还是很多的，今天给大家分享一个词语，“人物”，可以指在一个领域，在一个地方很重要的人。比如，有一个人在你的学校很有名，她可能是篮球队啦啦队队长，她可能学习成绩特别好，永远是学校第一，那你就可以说，“啊，她在我们学校是个人物，几乎每个人都知道她！”
这就是“人物”的一个用法，指在一个地方一个领域都很重要很有名的人。

那关于“人“，大家还能想到什么词语呢？

Shirin interests : introduction 

Is college worth the time and money? Americans are increasingly skeptical about the value and cost, according to a new survey.

And most said they feel the US higher education system is moving in the "wrong direction."

Overall, only 36% of adults said they have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in higher education, according to a report released by Gallup and the Lumina Foundation. That confidence level has declined steadily from 57% in 2015.

Some of the same opinions have been reflected in declining enrollment numbers as colleges contend with the effects of the student debt crisis, concerns about the high cost of tuition and political debates over how they teach about race and other topics.

"It's so expensive, and I don't think colleges are teaching people what they need to get a job," said Randy Hill, a 59-year-old driver from Connecticut.

He added: "You graduate out of college, you're up to [your] eyeballs in debt, you can't get a job, then you can't pay it off. What's the point?"

The June 2024 survey's overall finding — that 36% of adults feel strong confidence in higher education — is the same as the year before.

But what concerns researchers is that more Americans — 32% — said they have "very little" or no confidence in higher education.

Experts say that fewer college graduates could lead to labor shortages in fields from health care to information technology.

For those who choose not to go to college, it often means lower lifetime earnings — 75% less compared with those who get bachelor's degrees, according to Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce. And during an economic downturn, those without degrees are more likely to lose jobs.

However, others still see the value in higher education. College student Kristen Freeman from California told The Associated Press: "I think higher education can give students the spark to want to change the system."
