(1)When they advise your kids to "get an education" if you want to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide man power for your society, but not too much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.
(2)Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in grade school.
(3)Get college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is a M.B.A., and only from a first-rate university. Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.
(4)Do you know, for instance, that long-hand truck drivers earn more a year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24,000, while the full professors managed to average just $23,930.
(5)A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far. If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.
(6)Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless applications month after month. And then maybe taking a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.
(7)You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you. [br] It is indicated in the passage that it is most likely for the Ph.D.s in philosophy to be _______.
选项
A、of little commercial value
B、not needed by the society
C、difficult to succeed in their profession
D、unable to satisfy the country’s demand
答案
A
解析
第5段讨论了博士学位的价值,该段表明不能转化为工业或商业效益的博士学位是没有价值的,其中包括了该段第3句提到的几种博士,而且该句表明哲学博士的状况最为严峻,结合所有这些信息可以推断A为本题答案。第5段末句开头的not for our needs表明还是需要这些博士的,因此B不正确;本文没有讨论博士们怎么才算在职业上获得成功,本文只是从收人这个方面比较各个层次的教育状况,因此C没有原文依据;D与原文刚好相反,D说的是博士不能满足社会的需求,而原文第5段最后两句讲的是社会不需要那么多的博士。D虽然看起来用词与原文很相似,但意思却是完全不同的。
