Passage 1
Higher education is more than a vocational or technical training. The essential purpose of it has never been about "usefulness" in a narrow sense of acquiring a specific, practical tool so as to make oneself marketable. In the words of my late college professor of philosophy, the purpose of higher education is for students to become broadly acquainted with cultural traditions and deeply appreciate them, so that it may help us become responsible citizens and good people in general.
It is also about love—learning what one loves for the love of learning. Hence, it is "gloriously useless. " As for me, there was no way of knowing which major or degree was going to be "useful. " And since then, everything around me is constantly changing. I have long forgotten the details of what I absorbed in classrooms and libraries. I did, however, learn how to think for myself, and that is invaluable in the workplace and outside of it.
选项
答案
高等教育不仅仅是职业或技术培训,其基本目的从来就不是一味地传授狭义上“有用的东西”,也就是让学生获得专门的实用技能,使他们能进人职场。用我那已故的大学哲学教授的话来说,高等教育的目的,是要让我们广泛了解文化传统,从内心学会欣赏,这样可能有助于我们成为负责任的公民和(一般意义上的)好人。
高等教育还是关于爱的(教育)——因为热爱学习而去学习你所热爱的知识。由此,它是“华而不实的”。打那以后,我周围的一切都在不断变化。很长时间以来,我已经忘记了我在课堂和图书馆里学到的具体知识。不过,我确实学会了如何独立思考,而这在职场内外都是无价之宝。
