Albert Einstein once attributed the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he "never went to school, and therefore preserved the rare gift of thinking freely". There is undoubtedly truth in Einstein’s observation. Many artists and geniuses seem to view their schooling as a disadvantage. But such a truth is not a criticism of schools. It is the function of schools to civilize, not to train explorers. The explorer is always a lonely individual whether his or her pioneering be in art, music, science, or technology. The creative explorer of unmapped lands shares with the genius what William James described as the "faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way". Insofar as schools teach perceptual patterns they tend to destroy creativity and genius. But if schools could somewhat exist solely to cultivate genius, then society would break down. For the social order demands unity and widespread agreement, both traits are destructive to creativity. There will always be conflict between the demands of society and the impulses of creativity and genius.
Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?
选项
A、Einstein and artists have said schools limit creativity and genius.
B、Schools should be designed to encourage creativity and social order.
C、Explorers and geniuses look at the world differently from the way most people do.
D、Schools can never satisfy the needs of both genius and society as a whole.
答案
C
解析
探索者和天才看待世界的方法与大多数人的方法不同。全文的主要内容是:探索者和天才耐得住寂寞,独立思考,以人们不大习惯的方法理解世界,因此应选C。
