       When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment（尷尬）to your society.

       Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison or Albert Einstein, and you can successfully dropout in primary school.

       Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad（發(fā)射臺）.But now you have to put on the brakes（剎車）. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M. B.A.

       Do you know, for instance, that long-distance truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes ,the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24,000 while the full professors managed to earn just $ 23,030.

       A Ph. O. is the highest degree you can get .Except for a few specialized Fields such as physics of chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you work for such a degree in any other field, you will face a dark future .There are more Ph. D. s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.

       If you become a Ph. D. in English or history or anthropology or political science or language or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming over—educated for our national demands .Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.

       Thousands of Ph. D. s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on tables, and endless filling out applications month after month .They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the street cleaner earns.

       You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far .Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the total value of national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.

1．According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who     .

       A．will not be a shame to society               B．will become loyal citizens

       C．can take care of themselves                  D．can meet the nation’s needs

2．Many Ph. D. s are out of job because     .

       A．they are improperly educated in schools

       B．they are of little commercial value to their society

       C．there are fewer jobs in high schools and colleges

       D．they prefer easier jobs that make more money

3．According to the passage,     degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes.

       A．philosophy           B．chemistry            C．history                D．a(chǎn)nthropology

4．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

       A．Bernard Shaw finished high school, but Edison didn’t.

       B．The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.

       C．One must think carefully before working for a master degree.

       D．The more you are educated, the more you’ll be fit for society’s demands.

Americans in Italy seed food, not ruins

       More and more Americans are visiting Italy not to see the sites of ancient Rome but to taste the delights of the rest of the country, according to a new survey. Not only are long waits under the hot summer sun to get into sites such as the Colosseum（羅馬大劇場）turning visitors away , but the attractions of good wine ,pasta and Parmesan chese are drawing people to other ,lesser-known destinations. A little over a quarter of those surveyed said they were choosing alternative locations because they wanted to get to know Italian cuisine (cooking )better .Another 21 percent said it was much more relaxing to be in the countryside eating wholesome Italian food after leaving stressful jobs and unhealthy diets in the United States .And 17 percent said they were following in the footsteps of their Hollywood heroes .For years, Hollywood stars have enjoyed low-key vacations at quiet but luxurious（豪華的）villas in rural (countryside)Italy ,and it appears the trend is rubbing off on Americans. “Americans are realizing that the Mediterranean diet is the best way to stay in shape and that courses in Italian cooking are better for handling stress than visiting a psychologist（心理學家）,” a statement accompanying the survey said.
