Read para1 and answer the question.
What’s the symbolic“war”?
For most of the great thinkers, their academic struggles have often been romantically referred as being like “war”, which has been purely symbolic.
Real war is never romantic as it brings suffering and immense challenges.

5. With the country at war, students at Lianda were not going to shirk their duty. Driven by a sense of commitment, a great many joined the army to resist the Japanese invaders and defend the honour of the nation. In fact, Lianda provided the largest number of student-soldiers from any campus in China. Of the thousands of college students from all over China who served as interpreters, one tenth were from Lianda, including the well-known translators Zha Liangzheng and Xu Yuanchong. Zha later depicted the contributions of his peers in a poem:
Softly, on the hillside forgotten by all,
A misty rain falls in a gentle breeze;
There is no trace of the footprints of history;
Where brave souls once stood, breathing new life into the trees

轻落在被世人遗忘的山坡
细雨伴着微风飘落,
历史的足迹已经无迹可寻
留下英灵化入树干而滋生。

6. A product of the war, Lianda is now physically gone. But it has become the
crowning glory of China’s modern universities, not only because of its prominent professors and talented students, but also because of the school’s strong spirit of perseverance and dedication. In 2017, representatives from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nankai University and Yunnan Normal University gathered to commemorate the 80th anniversary of its founding.
7. More than eighty years on, the priceless contribution of Lianda still needs to be reaffirmed. It has become part of the collective memory of the Chinese nation, with its spirit as the blueprint for all universities in China in the modern era.

Learning to learn
Similes and metaphors are two commonly used, but easy to confuse, figures of speech.
Similes compare and show similarities in typically different things.
Similes usually use connecting words such as like, as, so and resemble.
For example, he is as cool as a cucumber
metaphors make direct comparisons without using connecting words.
For example, She has a heart of a lion.

While-reading
Read para 3 and choose the right figures of speech .
3. Professors and students alike in the three universities made an epic journey over a distance of more than 2,000 kilometres, most of them on foot. Their bed was the dusty road and their roof was the open sky, often lit up by exploding Japanese bombs. Conditions were little better once they reached the remote and mountainous south-west part of China. They had to live in rough buildings, packed 40 to a room, like sardines. There were dire shortages of food, books, and equipment. Furthermore, classes were frequently disrupted due to fierce air attacks and often had to be held before 10 am and after 4 pm.
