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（人力资源） for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment 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, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.

Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.

Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.

A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.

If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.

Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper 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 gross 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 disgrace to society????

B. will become loyal citizens

C. can take care of themselves

D. can meet the nation’s demand as a source of manpower

2.Many doctors are out of job because ______.

A. they are improperly educated

B. they are of little commercial value to their society

C. there are fewer jobs in high schools

D. they prefer easier jobs that make more money

3.The nation is only interested in people ______.

A. with diplomas

B. who specialize in physics and chemistry

C. who are valuable to the gross national product

D. who receive little education

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high school, nor did Edison.

B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master’s degree.

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

D. If you are too well-educated, you’ll be overeducated for society’s demands.

5.The writer sees education as ______.

A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country’s demands for technical workers

B. a way to broaden one’s horizons

C. more important than finding a job

D. an opportunity that everyone should have

The teaching of physics in schools is in danger of dying out unless urgent action is taken to deal with a serious lack of teachers, the government is warned today.

The number of students taking physics at A-level has fallen 38% since 1990, according to a research. At the same time the number of new physics teachers has dropped sharply while the shortage is likely to worsen as older teachers retire.

Britain’s leading scientists and engineers expressed alarm over the findings, which they say are part of the problems in science education generally. Lord May of Oxford, president of the Royal Society, the UK’s National Academy of Science, said, “The problems facing science at A-level are well beyond physics. We have over and over again noted the general downward trend of students studying the sciences besides biology and math at A-level. If we fail to deal with this then we may lose the ability to train the next generation of scientists, technologists and engineers.”

Alan Smithers and Pamela Robinson, who did the research in 432 schools and colleges in England and Wales, said that since 1990, the number of physics students had fallen by 38%, from 45,334 to 28,119. Nearly 10% of state schools now do not offer A-level physics, and of those that do 39.5% had five students or fewer taking it this year.

Over the same period, the research discovered, the number of people who are allowed to become physics teachers dropped from about a third of the science total to 12.8%. The supply of physics teachers is not renewing itself, with nearly twice as many aged over 50 as 30 or younger. Another danger is the redefinition of science subjects to “general science”.

Professor Smithers and Dr Robinson warn that the subject is in danger of dying out in schools.” Physics in schools and colleges is at risk through redefinition and lack of teachers with expertise in the subject,” they said. “If physics is to survive in schools, both as basic education and as a platform for higher level study and research, there is a need for immediate action.”

60. From what Lord May of Oxford said, we can learn that____________.

A. he worries about the future of science education.

B. the top scientists have not noticed the problem until recently.

C. the UK has lost the ability to train scientists and engineers

D. biology and math do not face the same problems as physics.

61. The underlined word “renewing” is closest to _______in meaning.

A. continuing B. offering C. saving D. replacing

62. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Lack of Physics Teachers Causes Trouble. B. How Important the Physics Is!

C. Physics Is Dying Out in Schools. D. Why Do We Study Physics?

When people ask your children to “get an education”, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.

Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Washington or Thomas Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary schools.

Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA, you should start to find a job. You have to put on the brakes now. If you do go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a first class university. Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing (报酬递减率) begins to work.

Do you know, for example, that long distance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors? Yes, each driver was paid $28,000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $27,930.

A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future. There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.

If you became a PhD in English or history or political science or languages or worst of all in philosophy（哲学）, you take the risk of becoming over educated for our national demands.

Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving taxis, waiting on tables and filling out applications month after month, and then may be taking a job in some high school or college with the pay much less than a doorkeeper makes.

46. According to the writer, society expects education to turn out people who will .

A. raise their payment

B. get employed

C. become specialized in some field

D. meet the demands as a source of manpower

47. Longdistance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors because .

A. the famous law of diminishing functions

B. long distance truck drivers only get a high school diploma

C. full professors are PhDs in English or history

D. long distance truck drivers work harder than full professors

48. If you don’t want to be occupationally dead, you .

A. should look for a job in a primary school

B. must at least get a high school diploma

C. have to get as high an education as possible

D. should try to avoid being overeducated in philosophy

49. The underlined phrase “put on the brakes” in the 3rd paragraph means “ ”.

A. stop learning for a high degree

B. take up a master’s degree at once

C. go on studying in a first class university

D. find any interesting job

50. What can we know from the passage?

A. The higher education you get, the more money you will earn.

B. There are more PhDs than the society demands.

C. Neither George Washington nor Edison received formal education.

D. If you are specialized in physics, you can’t get a good job easily.

When you are advised to “get an education” if you want to raise your income, you are only told half the truth, what you should be told is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not too much education that would prove an embarrassment to your society. Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in grade school.

Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA, you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it’s an MBA, and only from a first – rate university. Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns (报酬递减规律性) begins to take effect. Do you know, for instance, that heavy truck drivers earn more a year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24,000, while the full professor managed to average just $ 23,930.

A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get, but except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dark future. There are more Ph. Ds unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of world by far.

If you become a doctor of Philosophy in English or History or Anthropology or Political Science or language or – worst of all – in Philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands.

Thousands of Ph. Ds are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless 　applications month after month. And then maybe taking a job in some high school or lifeless college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.

Income and education are closely related. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a　profit on you.
