When I first considered becoming a college professor, tenure was not an attraction or even an issue. I was drawn to the profession by the work and the environment. Even after earning a Ph. D., spending time working in Washington D.C., and finally getting my first teaching job in public administration, I was not particularly concerned with tenure. I now work at a regional institution that requires an attainable balance between teaching, research, and service. I have always been a hard worker and see no reason to stop.
But my vision of tenure has changed,
I do not want to always be the same kind of professor I am now
. Now, I am working on articles, course preparations, learning the details of the curriculum so I can advise students, and building institutional knowledge by serving on university committees. Today, my productivity is high and I focus on
"collecting beans"
, tomorrow, I would like to focus on quality.
Whether tenure can give me the opportunity to focus on quality is questionable, but the idea of longevity is a concept that seems to have broad acceptance in most professions. My friends who became lawyers and accountants spend their time talking about becoming partners; medical doctors talk about establishing a practice; civil servants are protected by the merit system. The professionals in these fields serve a probationary period (试用期) and demonstrate competence to attain a certain level of freedom in their fields. After that, we expect that their professionalism can be used to serve society.
Are college professors and universities different from lawyers, law firms, and the American Bar Association or doctors, practices, and the American Medical Association? The answer is both yes and no. Rarely does one hear about a professor being brought to court for malpractice. Still, the college professors I know work long hours, serve arduous, poorly-paid probationary periods, are dedicated to their students and their fields and do not want to work in another profession after they have arrived in this one. Thus tenure is often seen as the reward for years of struggle. Tenure, therefore, has become something important to me, specifically as a way to become firmly established in my profession.
. The writer mentions lawyers and accountants in order to________.
选项
A、explain why he chose teaching as his career
B、illustrate how other professionals view their work
C、prove that professors and other professionals have the same idea about quality
D、show that college professors’ expectation of job security is reasonable
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。第三段中作者提到律师和会计,并说律师和会计想分享他们所服务的公司的所有权……而在最后一段作者又说大学教授工作时间长,工作努力……因此可以得出结论:作者在文中提到律师和会计是想证明大学教师希望有工作保障的期望是合理的。
