  Is University Teaching Useful

  When young people who want to be journalists ask me what subject they should study after leaving school asks me what subject they should study after leaving school, I tell them: most veterans of my trade would say the same.

  It is practical advice. For obviously reasons, newspaper editors like to employ people who can bring something other than knowledge of the media to the party that we call our work.

  On the daily telegraph, for example, the editor of London spy is a philosopher. The editor of our student magazine, juice, studied physics. As for myself, I read history, ancient and modern, at the taxpayer’s expense.

  I am not sure what Charles Clarke, the education secretary, would make of all this. If I understand him correctly, he would think that the public money spent on teaching this huge range of disciplines to the staff of the daily telegraph was pretty much wasted. the only academic course of which he would wholeheartedly approve in the list above would be physics_—but then again, he would probably think it a terrible waste that Simon Hogg chose to edit juice instead of designing aeroplanes or building nuclear reactors. by that, he seems to mean that everything taught at the public expense should have a direct, practical application that will benefit society and the economy.

  It is extremely alarming that the man in charge of Britain’s education system should think in this narrow-minded, half-witted way. The truth, of course, is that all academic disciplines benefit society and the economy, whether in a direct and obviously way or not. They teach student to think –to process in formation and to distinguish between what is important and unimportant, true and untrue. Above all, a country in which academic research and intelligent ideas are allowed to flourish is clearly a much more interesting, stimulating and enjoyable place than one without “ornament”, in which money and useless are that count.

  Mr. Clarke certainly has a point when he says that much of what is taught in Britain’s universities is useless. But it is useless for a far more serious reason than that it lacks any obvious economic utility. As the extraordinary high drop-out rate testifies, it is useless because it fails the first test of university teaching-that is should stimulate the interest of those being taught. When student themselves think that course are a waste of time and money, then a waste they are.

  The answer is not to cut off state funding for the humanities. It is to offer short, no-nonsense vocational course to those who want to learn a trade, and reserve university places for those who want pursue an academic discipline. By a great deal of wasted money could be saved and all students-the academic and the not-so-academic-would benefit. What Mr. Clarke seems to be proposing instead is an act of culture vandalism that would rob Britain of all claim of is called a civilized country?

  英语美文30篇27-An October Sunrise

  I was up the next morning be fore the October sunrise, and away through the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder heavily over the edge of grey mountain and wavering length of upland. Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped, and crept to crept to the hollow places; then stole away in line and column, holding skirts, and clinging subtly at the sheltering corners where rock hung over grassland, while the brave lines of the hills came forth, one beyond other gliding.

  The woods arose in folds, like drapery of awakened mountains, stately with a depth of awe, and memory of the tempests. Autumn’s mellow hand was upon them, as they owned already, touched with gold and red and olive, and their joy towards the sun was less to a bridegroom than a father.

  Yet before the floating impress of the woods could clear it self, suddenly the gladsome light leaped over hill and valley, casting amber, blue, and purple, and a tint of rich red rose; according to the scene they lit on, and the curtain flung around; yet all alike dispelling fear and the cloven hoof of darkness, all on the wings of hope advancing, and proclaiming, “God is here!” then life and joy sprang reassured from every crouching hollow; every flower, and bud and bird had a fluttering sense of them; and all the flashing of God’s gaze merged into soft beneficence.

  So, perhaps, shall break upon us that eternal morning, when crag and chasm shall be no more, neither hill and valley, nor great unvintaged ocean; but all things shall arise, and shine in the light of the Father’s countenance, because itself is risen.

  英语晨读365 114 Dreams 梦想

  When we were young, we had dreams and expectations. We imagine things; we keep thinking about what we want to be, what we want to do, what makes us proud and happy and what will we become.

  We grew up, and things seemed like having their own way. We accept our success or failures and we move on. The rapid change, the need to do the urgent things, the works, the pressures and the failures, all kill part of our visions.

  Things have changed, but they cannot really take away the dreams. We still have to dream on, to visualize our desires, our wants, our vision of our future, even when we are considered too old for such things.

  Cornell Sanders started his business when he was sixty, and started the whole successful KFC business. The main thing is not the age whether being too old, or too young, but it is the desire to dream on, and the courage to realize it.

  The ability to dream on is one of the fine qualities of human race that other species do not possess. So dream on, and put a deadline: make it a giant dream, a tiny one, an old everlasting one, a new-found one, a hobby-related one, a change of life one, a religious one, a stupid one, a stroke of genius one, or just whatever... just continue to dream on... Then, Just Go and Do It!

  英语晨读365 118 We Were Dear to Each Other 相亲相爱

  Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.

  And yellow leaves of autumn,which have no songs,flutter and fall there with a sign.

  O Troupe of little vagrants of the world,leave your footprints in my words.

  The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.

  It becomes small as one song,as one kiss of the eternal.

  It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.

  The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.

  If you shed tears when you miss the sun,you also miss the stars.

  The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement,dancing water,Will you carry the burden of their lameless?

  Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night.

  Once we dreamt that we were strangers.

  We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.

  夏天的飞鸟,飞到我的窗前唱歌,又飞去了。

  秋天的黄叶,它们没有什么可唱,只叹息了一声,飞落在那里。

  世界上的一小队小小的漂泊者呀,请留下你们的脚印在我的文字里。

  世界对着它的爱人,把它浩瀚的面具揭了下来。

  它变小了,小如一首歌,小如一回永恒的吻。

  是大地的泪点,使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。

  无垠的沙漠热烈地追求一叶绿草的爱,她摇摇头笑着飞开了。

  如果你因失去了太阳而流泪,那么你也将将失去群星了。

  跳着舞的流水呀,在你途中的泥沙,要求你的歌声,你的欢跳.你肯挟痂足的泥沙而俱下么?

  她的热切的脸,如夜雨似的,搅扰着我的梦魂。

  有一次,我们梦见大家都是不认识的。

  我们醒了,却知道我们是相亲相爱的。

  英语晨读365 123 Prometheus 普罗米修斯

  Prometheus

  Prometheus was a Titan .In the war between Zeus the giants he had stood on the side of the new Olympian gods.Out of the clay he made the first man,to whom Athena gave soul and holy breath.Prometheus spent a lot of time and energy in creating the gift of fire.The fire raised man above all animals .Later,there held a joint meeting of gods and men.The meeting was to decide what part of burnt animals should be given to gods and what to men.Prometheus cut up an ox and divided it into two parts:under the skin he placed the fresh,and under the fat he put the bones,for he knew the selfish Zeus loved fat. Zeus saw through the trick and felt displeased at the Prometheus' favor towards men.So in a masterful way he took away the gift of fire from mankind.However,Prometheus managed to steal fire from heaven and secretly brought it down to men.Flying into an anger at this unjustified act of rebellion,Zeus let the other gods chain Prometheus to a rock on Mountain Caucasus,where a hungry eagle ever tore at his liver which ever grew again.His period of pain was to be thirty-thousand years.Prometheus faced his bitter fate firmly and never lost courage before Zeus.At last Heracles made Prometheus and Zeus restore to friend ship,when Heracles came over in search of the golden apple and killed the eagle and set the friend of mankind free.

  普罗米修斯

  普罗米修斯是泰坦巨人之一。在宙斯与巨人的'战争中,他站在新的奥林波斯山神一边。他用粘土造出了第一个男人。雅典娜赋予了这个男人灵魂和神圣的生命。普罗米修斯还花费了很多时间和精力创造了火,并将之赠予人类。火使人成为万物之灵。在这之后,举行了第一次神与人的联席会议。这个会议将决定烧烤过的动物的哪一部分该分给神,哪一部分该给人类。普罗米修斯切开一头牛,把它分成两部分:他把肉放在皮下,将骨头放在肥肉下。因为他知道自私的宙斯爱吃肥肉。宙斯看穿了他的把戏。普罗米修斯偏袒人类,这使宙斯感到不快。因此,他专横地把火从人类手中夺走。然而,普罗米修斯设法窃走了天火,偷偷地把它带给人类。宙斯对他这种肆无忌惮的违抗行为大发雷霆。他令其他的山神把普罗米修斯用锁链缚在高加索山脉的一块岩石上。一只饥饿的老鹰天天来啄食他的肝脏,而他的肝脏又总是重新长出来。他的痛苦要持续三万年。而他坚定地面对苦难,从来不在宙斯面前丧失勇气。最后,海格立斯使普罗米修斯与宙斯恢复了他们的友谊,找到了金苹果,杀死了老鹰,因而解救了人类的老朋友。
