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, 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. Because they can also promote economic growth. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.
The Aristotle example is used to make the point that____________.
选项
A、universities in the UK have produced too much good for graduates
B、such abstract subjects as philosophy is no longer useful
C、education should serve the social needs
D、it is advisable for today’s philosophers to know computer science
答案
B
解析
由文章第二段最后一句可知,亚里士多德是著名的哲学家,他注重教授理论知识,而现在的大学教育注重教授实用性的技能,像哲学这种抽象、纯理论的学科已经不再有用了,故选B。
