Passage 9 According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, today’s traditional-age college freshmen are "more materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的)"than at any time in the 17 years of the poll. Not surprising in these hard times, the student’s major objective "is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life." It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting. Interest in teaching, social service and the "altruistic" fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up. That’s no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the job--even before she completed her two-year associate degree. While it’s true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions--be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs. Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company; no job. How shortsighted in the long run! But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom (对讲机) : "Miss Baxter," he says, "could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong" From the long-term point of view, that’s what education really ought to be about.According to the author’s observation, college students（） A. have never been so materialistic as today B. have never been so interested in the arts C. have never been so financially well off as today D. have never attached so much importance to moral sense

Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two children or more, that you will also offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them. The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone. Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs. 1.The first sentence in Paragraph 1 "Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space" means "__________". A.Not two people need exactly the same amount of living space B.Living space requirements arc not always the same C.The world requires the same amount of living space D.Nobody needs a required amount of living space 2.Some families gather closer to each other at home than others because ______. A.they have limited living space B.they are brought up in a large family C.it satisfies their psychological space needs D.the children in the family sleep in the same bed with their parents 3.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.mericans are trained to live in the large rooms at birth. B.Economic situation decides one’s amount of space needs. C.People in different countries demand different psychological space. D.Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it has an effect on your future. 4.The best title for this passage is _______. A.merican Way of Living B.Psychological Space C.Space Needs in Different Countries D.Psychological Space and Economic Pressure
