The adults in the Unites states constitute a work force of about eighty-one million employed people, of whom only twenty-seven million possess a marketable skill as a result of conscious career development. The remaining two-thirds of the work force not counting five million unemployed have managed to enter a livelihood, without special skills or experience. During their employed life, these individuals will hold twelve different jobs, for the most part unrelated to each other.
Currently, about two and a half million young people a year leave high school or college, with little or no idea of what to do with their lives. I estimate that upwards of 50 percent of our young people now in school or college have no real goals toward which to aim, and that they have very little information or help for establishing those goals and pursuing them systematically.
There may have been a time when we could afford twelve or sixteen or more years of formal education without work-related purpose. The swiftly moving technological and social evolution no longer has a place for the unskilled or unschooled.
There are unfilled jobs all over the country. Yet, 17 percent of our under-twenty age group are unemployed, many of them on welfare. More than 30 percent of our minority young people of this age group were unemployed. Virtually none of these young people had the benefits of career education or the traditional technical education available in many schools. Is it any wonder that student’s unrest is the result of the unchanging institutional codes that have failed to make learning useful or meaningful for those who now want more realistic teaching and learning than the system offers?
Education, I repeat, is not solely a matter of equipping students for jobs. The heart of the learning process involves sciences. It is the way a man’s mind works, and not just what he can do with his hands, that gives quality and purpose to life. But I see no conflict between the virtues of liberal education and career development. In fact, our neglect of career development in recent years has done damage to the total educational needs of both the individual and the nation. [br] From the passage we can infer that ______.
选项
A、most adults in work force of the United States are skillful workers
B、American society is short of skillful workers
C、most schools provide technical education
D、the purpose of education is to learn sciences
答案
B
解析
综合判断题。做这类推断题可用排除法。A不对,因为文章第一句话便说:“美国的成年人构成了一支大约有8100万的劳动大军,其中仅有2700万人因刻意谋求职业发展而拥有可售技能”。C也不对,因为文章第四段说:“实际上,这些年轻人没有一个曾获益于职业教育”。D也不对,纵观全文,作者更强调了技术的重要性,再者,作者还说教育的目的不仅仅是培养学生做某些工作,更重要的是思维方式(the way a man’s mind works)。由此可见只有选B,纵观全文也能体会出美国社会缺乏技术工人这一点。
