(A)
A student who enters a university in the second half of the 20th century is in a new situation. He is not like the young man of the early 19th who came to sit at the feet of the masters and left as a master. That situation no longer exists, because now it is not only the student who changes. He may grow fast, but science grows still faster.
The young German philosophy Hegel, writing at the beginning of the 19th century, believed that one man’s mind could contain all the knowledge of his times. At that time it was perfectly possible for a man to hold such a belief and to base his life on it. Hegel’s friend Goethe wrote a famous poem about a young man who hoped to translate this purpose into reality. They young man in the poem was called Fraust. But Hegel’s situation was slightly different from Fraust’s because Fraust, the hero of the poem, had the devil to help him, while Hegel had only his professors.
Today a very different situation exists, a situation in which the professor and the devil have lost most of their power. Today a student cannot master knowledge, he can only be its servant. He knows that he can become familiar only with a small corner of knowledge, and that his learning will always be imperfect and incomplete. But he can still hope to add something to the sum of knowledge, and so make the situation slightly more difficult for those who come after him.
65.The poem about Fraust is mentioned to tell us .
A.he was a young man.
B.he got the devil’s help.
C.the situation was slightly more difficult for those who came after him.
D.today’s learning situation is much different from that in the past.
66.A student of the 20th century is faced with a new situation because .
A.he has to learn entirely on his own. B.he can never be a master now.
C.science grows very fast. D.he is changing all the time
67.Today a student knows that .
A.his knowledge is often incorrect.
B.he cannot learn more than the students in the 19th century did.
C.those who come after him will have greater difficulties in learning
D.his knowledge is very limited compared with the total amount
68.The best title for this passage might be .
A.Hegel, the Great German Philosopher.
B.The Learning Situation in the
C.How to Study at a
D.The Rapid Development of Science
