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(尴尬) 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(发射台). But now you have to put on the brakes(刹车). 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 PhD 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 work for such a degree in any other field, you will face a dark future. There are more PhDs unemployed or underemployed in the country than any other part of the world.If you become a PhD in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages 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 PhDs are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on tables, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job insome 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.5．According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ______.A. will not be a shame to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation’s needs6．Many PhDs are out of work because ______.A. they are improperly educated in schoolsB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schools and collegesD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money7．According to the passage, ______ degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes.A. philosophyB. chemistryC. historyD. anthropology8．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 is, 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.[答案]文章说明了当今社会的一种现象——学历和收入并不成正比。
