"Is it a vital interest of the state to have more anthropologists?" Rick Scott, the Florida governor, once asked. A leader of a prominent Internet company once told me that the firm regards admission to Harvard as a useful proof of talent, but a college education itself as useless. Parents and students themselves are acting on these principles, retreating from the humanities.
I’ve been thinking about this after reading Fareed Zakaria’s smart new book, In Defense of a Liberal Education. Like Mr. Zakaria, I think that the liberal arts teach critical thinking. So, to answer the skeptics, here are my three reasons the humanities enrich our souls and sometimes even our pocketbooks as well.
First, liberal arts equip students with communications and interpersonal skills that are valuable and genuinely rewarded in the labour force, especially when accompanied by technical abilities. "A broad liberal arts education is a key pathway to success in the 21st-century economy," says Lawrence Katz, a labour economist at Harvard. Professor Katz says that the economic return to pure technical skills has flattened, and the highest return now goes to those who combine soft skills— excellence at communicating and working with people—with technical skills.
My second reason: We need people conversant with the humanities to help reach wise public policy decisions, even about the sciences. Technology companies must constantly weigh ethical decisions. To weigh these issues, regulators should be informed by first-rate science, but also by first-rate humanism. When the President’s Council on Bioethics issued its report in 2002, "Human Cloning and Human Dignity," it depends upon the humanities to shape judgments about ethics, limits and values.
Third, wherever our careers lie, much of our happiness depends upon our interactions with those around us, and there’ s some evidence that literature nurtures a richer emotional intelligence. Science magazine published five studies indicating that research subjects who read literary fiction did better at assessing the feelings of a person in a photo than those who read nonfiction or popular fiction. Literature seems to offer lessons in human nature that help us decode the world around us and be better friends. Literature also builds bridges of understanding.
In short, it makes eminent sense to study coding and statistics today, but also history and literature.
Which of the following cannot be used as the example of the second sentence in Paragraph 4?
选项
A、Should Youtube change its web page?
B、Where should Facebook set its privacy?
C、How should Google handle sex and violence articles?
D、Should Twitter close accounts that seem sympathetic to terrorists?
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第四段。第二句句意为“科技公司必须不断对伦 理决策进行权衡”,解题的关键在于找到与ethical不相符的例子。A项“Youtube网站应 该改变它的页面吗?”显然与伦理无关,符合题干,故为正确答案。B项“脸谱网应该在哪 儿设置隐私”,C项“该如何处理关于性与暴力的文章”,D项“推特是否该关闭似乎对恐 怖分子颇为同情的账号”均是第二句的具体实例。
