According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, today’s traditional-age college freshmen are "more materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的) " than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.
Not surprising in these hard times, the student’s major objective "is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life." It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.
Interest in teaching, social service and the "altruistic" fields is at a low. on the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.
That’s no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the job--even before she completed her two-year associate degree.
While it’s true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions--he they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.
Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company: no job. How shortsighted in the long run!
But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom (对讲机) :"Miss Baxter," he says, "could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?"
From the long-term point of view, that’s what education really ought to be about. [br] Studying the diverse wisdom of others can______.
选项
A、help people see things in their right perspective
B、help improve connections among people
C、regulate the behavior of modern people
D、create varying artistic interests
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。根据本题中的信息可以定位到第五段的最后两句话“It is equally true that,in studying the diverse wisdom of others,we learn how to think.More important,perhaps,education teaches us to see the connections between things,as well as to see beyond our immediate needs(同样真实的是,在研究其他人的不同智慧时,我们学会了如何去思考。可能更重要的是,教育教会了我们去观察事物之间的相互联系,并看到比当前的需要更高远的东西) ”。基于这句话,再对比四个选项的内容,可以锁定在A) 、B) 中的一个。但B) 说的是“有助于改善人们之间的联系”,与上述内容不符。而A) 所说的“有助于人们以恰当的视角来观察事物”正是上述句子所表达的暗示。
