In the relationship of education to business we observe today a fine state of paradox. On the one hand, the emphasis which most business places upon a college degree is so great that one can almost visualize the time when even the office boy will have his baccalaureate. On the other hand, we seem to preserve the belief that some deep intellectual chasm separates the businessman from other products of the university system. The notion that business people are quite the Philistines sounds absurd. For some reason, we tend to characterize vocations by stereotypes, none too flattering but nonetheless deeply imbedded in the national conscience. In the cast of characters the businessman comes on stage as an ill-mannered and simple-minded person. It is not a pleasant conception and no more truthful or less unpleasant than our other stereotypes.
Business is made up of people with all kinds of backgrounds, all kinds of motivations, and all kinds of tastes, just as in any other form of human endeavour. Businessmen are not mobile balance sheets and profit statements, but perfectly normal human beings, subject to whatever strengths, frailties, and limitations characterize man on the earth. They are people grouped together in organizations designed to complement the weakness of one with strength of another, tempering the exuberance of the young with the caution of the more mature, the poetic soarings of one mind with the counting house realism of another. Any disfigurement which society may suffer will come from man himself, not from the particular vocation to which he devotes his time.
Any group of people necessarily represents an approach to a common one, and it is probably true that even individually they tend to conform somewhat to the general pattern. Many have pointed out the danger of engulfing our original thinkers in a tide of mediocrity. Conformity is not any more prevalent or any more exacting in the business field than it is in any other. It is a characteristic of all organizations of whatever nature. The fact is the large business unit provides greater opportunities for individuality and requires less in the way of conformity than other institutions of comparable size — the government, or the academic world, or certainly the military.
The paradox in the relationship of education to business is that
选项
A、businessmen are both unmindful of history and sophisticated in it.
B、businessmen show both contempt and respect for noble activities.
C、there are both highly intellectual and uneducated businessmen.
D、there are both noticeable similarities and differences between businessmen and intellectuals.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。选项[C]“既有知识分子又有未受过教育的人”。文章第一段第二句on the one hand…与第三句on the other hand…“一方面办公室的勤杂工都将需要学士学位;另一方面,一些深奥的知识鸿沟将商人和大学体制的其他产物区分开来”正好说明了这一点,所以答案是[C]。[A]和[B]两项内容与原文内容无关;第一段第四句:“商人都很俗,这种观念听起来实在荒谬”,说明作者反对“知识分子与商人之间存在很大的差别”的观点,所以[D]是错误的。
