Classical Literature Loses Appeal on Campus 1

If you have noticed that literary classics continue to fall in popularity on campus， you are not alone. Classical books which used to eolour students' view of life no longer come across as exciting and compelling. Literary masterpieces （杰作） by literary giants seldom exert the great influence on students in moulding（塑造） the popular mind to its will. More classical novels are less like timeless monuments. In general， the situation is still serious.

　　College students give different reasons for the pbenomenon. Some students think that literature classics cannot satisfy various needs and tastes. Some maintain that practical reference books on GRE， management or computers are really treasures because they contain something as precious as gold. Still some hold that reading literary classical works is time consuming but not entertaining at all.

　　I believe that college students can benefit a lot from reading classical literature. In the first place， reading classical literature is a pleasure of mind. Moreover， it is an active thought provoking process， anyone can have the key to the riches of knowledge and wisdom contained in classical books. Classical books， in the final analysis， are indispensable to various aspects of modern civilization.
