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.
There isn’t a stereotyped businessman because
选项
A、businessmen represent a cross section of society.
B、businessmen are not ordinary people.
C、businessmen are people with strong personality.
D、there is considerable mobility in the vocation.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。文章第二段第一句Business is made up of people with all kinds of backgrounds…“商人和从事其他工作的人一样,有各种各样的背景…”正好与[A]相吻合,即“他们是社会的各个阶层人员的交汇”。[B]“他们不是普通人”,很明显与第二段第二句话相悖;[C]“他们是很有个性的人”,文中没有提及;而[D]“这一行业有很强的流动性”,文章第一段已经很详细地阐述过,不能再用老眼光来看商人了,是因为商人们自己的变化,与这一行业的流动性强弱并没有关系。
