Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is: how does the community want or need to be served?
In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain "ivory towers"(象牙塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained(强逼), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.
A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man" , as the Bible says, "does not live by bread alone. " Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things. [br] The author quoted Aristotle as an example in order to show that .
选项
A、he could still be an excellent teacher if he were alive
B、abstract courses like philosophy are no longer popular
C、philosophy should be cut off from university curriculum
D、philosophers had better know computer science
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。由第二段最后一句可以分析得出,作者引用亚里士多德的例子是为了说明像哲学这种课程在当今的大学里可能不再受欢迎。所以答案为B。
