答案    Nowadays it is widely debated whether academic degree holders should be better paid than other people. Some people believe that those who have received a higher education are entitled to a higher salary bemuse they have made more investment in their education. This opinion, however, seems untenable to me. I believe one’s salary should be associated not with what he has paid for his collegiate education but with the quantity and quality of what his work has produced.
   Basically it is groundless to relate one’s pay packet with the cost of his education, higher education in particular. The rationale that underlies the ides that those who have put in more money in education should be better paid than others is the same as underlies the nonsensical viewpoint that with the same type of product, the higher the cost of production, the higher the profit. In the same way the higher cost of production does not necessarily result in more profits, one’s educational investment should not be taken as the only measurement of his pay.
   On the contrary, one’s salary should be decided on the basis of his productivity. The unanimously accepted practice is that one% pay completely depends on how much he bas clone and how well he has done it. The more he does and the better he does it, the better he is paid, irrespective of his educational background. If, for instance, a skilled mechanic, though not a degree holder, is more expert at operating the lathe in producing spare parts than a graduate fresh from college, he has every reason to be paid more money as a reward for his expertise. In a word, one% salary as a parameter that reflects the weight of what he has done should not be regarded as a direct result of his educational investment. Those who have done the same work in terms of quantity and quality should be equally paid, regardless of their educational experience.
   The above opinion of mine should not be taken or mistaken as underrating the value of the higher education. Although a higher academic degree should not be the basis on which to decide one’s salary, its holder does have a greater possibility of turning out better products or services than those with no or little higher education. Therefore it is advisable especially for college students to devote themselves to their studies in order to have a bright career prospect.
解析    第一部分为文章的第一段。作者对题目中的某些人的观点用自己的语言进行了改写，而没有全文照抄。紧接着，作者明确指出这种观点在他看来是站不住脚的，并且给出了自己的观点，即I believe one’s salary should be associated not with what he has paid for his collegiate education but with the quantity and quality of what his work has produced。这一句话是本文的主题思想。   
   作者在第二部分，即第二、三自然段，进一步阐述了主题思想。第二段主题句指出从本质上讲一个人的工资水平和他为接受教育所付出的成本之间不应该存在必然的联系(Basically it is groundless to relate one’s pay packet with the cost of his education，higher education in particular．)。作者通过类比说明，正如产品的生产成本高并不一定能够带来更多的利润一样，一个人的教育投资并不一定与他的收入成正比。第三段的主题句指出一个人的薪金应该根据他的生产效率而决定。在段落拓展部分作者首先详细解释了生产效率的高低如何决定薪酬的多少，并特别强调与—个人的教育背景没有必然联系(irrespective of his educational background)。最后，通过熟练机械工与刚刚毕业的大学生的比较进一步说明了自己在主题句中提出的观点。
   第三部分为避免可能的误解，作者指出了教育的重要性。虽然学位不能作为评定工资的标准，但是一个人所接受的良好教育为日后出色的工作提供了可能。这样的结尾既显示出作者态度的客观，同时从内容上讲又紧扣文章的主题。
