问题     What, then, is a good education at the end of the twentieth century? Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures；a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world. and also because“a person who doesn’t speak and write Clearly doesn’t reason clearly either”; some knowledge of the social sciences(sociology, psychology)that deal with human relations and human problems；some basic knowledge of modem information systems, since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines. Is that all? “No, of course not. ”answer the educators, “We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education：history and literature!”
    Is this truly the best modern education? Perhaps. But every educator would add or subtract a few subjects. And no matter what list of courses would be offered, it would not be approved by all. Not only do the professors have their own ideas on the matter, but the students have theirs’too. “I don’t believe, ”protested a Harvard student when his university revised its programs, “I don’t believe that colleges have the fight to define what an educated person is. ”But then, who has?
选项
答案 那么什么是20世纪末的良好教育呢? 有些教育家提出应包括外国语言和文化的研究；掌握好英语，包括写和说的能力。因为交流已成为现代世界最重要的事情，而且也因为“一个说不清楚、写不明白的人也不会清晰地思考”。还要有一些处理人的关系和人类问题的社会科学知识(社会学、心理学)，一些现代信息系统的基本知识，明天的受过教育的专业人员必须懂得他们的机器(电脑)。是不是就这么多了呢? “不是，当然不是，”教育学家们答道，“我们还没有提到教育的两大块积木：历史和文学呢!” 这果然是最好的现代教育吗? 也许是吧。但每个教育学家总会加上或减去几门学科，不管拿出一个什么样的课程表来，总不会得到每一个人的认可，对这件事不仅教授们有自己的看法，而且学生也有自己的想法。哈佛大学修改授课计划时，该校有一个学生抗议说：“我认为学校无权下定义来规定什么人才是受过教育的人。”然而，谁有呢?
