2016年6月英语四级考试：仔细阅读练习(11)
At the close of each business day, most trained teachers, administrators,politicians, and statesmen make objective analyses of all that has transpired.
They then carefully evaluate performance in the achievement of certain specified
objectives. You, as a student, would be wise to adopt the same practice and
reflect upon your performance in relating to the achievement of certain personal
and educational objectives.
First, what was your purpose, your motivational force in seeking an
education? Did you seek an education in active performance, or did you seek to
be educated in passive reception and automatic acquisition(获取) of information
that was fed to you? Was the profit motive your primary motivation for obtaining
an education? Do you want a better education for the sole purpose of getting a
better job? What does the educational process really mean to you?
We are part of a world in which men thrill to the touch of gold and hearts
respond to the word money instead of being thrilled by the thought of good. We
five in a world in which we are taught that the pursuit of happiness is an
equation for the most rapid acquisition of money, by whatever means.
If profit and money are your first priorities, and compassion and
commitment to people your least concern, you have done little other than
accumulate some facts and compile some information for future reference. If
making money is your daydream and losing money your nightmare, if poverty is
your worst fear and making money your most fervent prayer, you have missed the
opportunity for education. You have failed yourself and have only received Nome
instruction.
