答案                 Academic Studies Alter the Way of Perceiving the World
    One of the primary aims of an educational system is to change the way that its students behave and interact with the rest of the world, even at the elementary school level. As one moves further up through school, perhaps even moving on to the graduate level of studying a particular academic discipline, there is no doubt that the world itself has not changed, but the way that the educated person views the world has become vastly different. If this were not so, there would be few reasons for a person to pursue higher learning.
    To begin with, let’s take the example of the study of a relatively simple academic discipline such as marketing. From the very first marketing class, the student becomes aware that marketing is engaged in the process of manipulating people. The world will never look the same to that individual as he sees the tremendous amount of information available to the world in an entirely different (and most likely more cynical) light. For instance, as a specific example, the student learns that most products and brands featured in television and movies are placed there deliberately, with a large fee paid to the producers by the company that sells the product. It will be difficult for the marketing scholar to watch almost any movie or program without looking through his or her new frame of reference. noticing practically every brand name and product that is featured in a television program or theatrical release.
    Furthermore, the more intensive the education, the more that person’s view of the world will change. Nuclear physicists cannot look at an object without noting on some level its subatomic components and construction. Astronomers with a PhD cannot be expected to simply gaze at a starlit sky in the same manner as a pair of young lovers out on a date. Physicians cannot help but see the human body in a much more clinical5 manner than most other people - after all, they have most likely thoroughly analyzed a human body before, both inside and out.
    The study of an academic discipline does not in and of itself make the world different, although the application of those studies can certainly change the course of human events. But the perceptions of the world and the way that it works are forever altered for the individual that pursues a higher education, as his or her "eyes" will never "look" the same way again.
解析     文章开篇首先从学术研究本身的意义出发，引出主题。正文部分作者通过严谨论证，使读者一步步接受作者的观点，为作者严密的逻辑叹服，同时大量实例的加入更是极易取得读者的共鸣。结尾段再次强调观点：学术研究并没有改变世界，它改变的只是人们看待世界的角度。详略得当，重心扎实。
