选项
答案
It is not an uncommon phenomenon that many people become successful without a formal college education. Typical examples are Bill Gates, the president of Microsoft, Li Jiacheng, a Hong Kong billionaire and Hua Luogeng, a world-class mathematician. This leads some people to believe that a person can achieve great success without a formal education and that the qualification of a successful person may not necessarily be acquired through studying in a university or other institutions of a similar nature. It cannot be denied that there exist such examples in every country; however, I can hardly share the above point of view for several reasons. In the first place, a college or university is a specialized institution of higher learning where people can receive systematic and scientific training in a certain field, which paves the way for their future career. With the advent of the era of the knowledge-based economy, a man without a sound academic background can hardly accomplish anything. Only in universities or other institutions of higher learning can he/she master professional knowledge and skills relevant and essential to his/her career. Secondly, it is wise to learn at another man’s cost. We can benefit much from the invaluable experience and knowledge handed down from our ancestors and draw a lesson from the failures of our predecessors so as to avoid the same failures. Thirdly, when at university, one also has to learn how to communicate and cooperate with teachers and fellow students. In this way, one cultivates friendships and acquires interpersonal communicative skills. Both are beneficial to one’s future career and success. A university is said to be a miniature society. Furthermore, there are innumerable successful people who attribute their achievements to a formal university education. It is no wonder that so many parents spare no efforts to send their children to colleges and universities. From what I have mentioned above, it is obvious that we can acquire qualifications and qualities essential to our future career and success through university education. The systematic knowledge and solid academic foundation will make it easy for us to understand and absorb updated theories based on previous research efforts. With the knowledge and skills we have acquired in such a miniature society as university, we will not have to waste much time learning how to handle human relationships. Compared with those without formal university education, university graduates have already gained an upper hand at the very beginning of building their own careers.
解析
引文段落中,作者先列出诸多未受过正规大学教育仍取得成功的人的例子,并引出自己的观点,即大学教育可以使学生具备所需的基本素质。正文段落中,作者通过分析大学教育的优势和用实例来证明无数成功人士将其成功归因于大学教育,从而支持自己的观点。最后,作者在结尾处又回应了上文,重申了自己的立场。
