l you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.

Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.

Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A. , you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes (刹车器，闸). If you go for a master's degree, make sure it is an M. B. A. , and is famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.

Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors？ Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24000. While the full professors managed to earn just $ 23030.

A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. There are more Ph. D. s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.

If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.

Thousands of Ph. D. s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.

You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.

According to the first paragraph, the real reason for people to receive education is that they ______.

A．will earn s lot of money

B．will lead a happy life

C．will become more intelligent

D．can meet the demands of society as a source of manpower

In the experiment （), students played a computer game that （) cash behind three doors

The important part of the rule was each door switch, though having no cash (), would also use up one of the 100 clicks.

Saving Money

Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a CD (光盘) or to go to a concert, then probably you would keep your money somewhere in your room.＜br＞

If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money？＜br＞

One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank (猪形储蓄罐) , one year later you&39;ll still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account,one year later, you&39;ll have more money than you put in. Why？＜br＞

When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money (and the money of other people, too) to loan money to people and businesses.＜br＞

The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you how much money you have in your. account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow!＜br＞

Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don&39;t need to use for a long time, this is a good way to make your money grow.＜br＞

You can buy a CD at a bank. You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time. That period might be from six months to five years. You can&39;t touch your money during that time. If you do, you must pay a penalty, or fee.

Your money will earn more money if you put it__________. 查看材料

A.in your room

B.in a piggy bank

C.in your pocket

D.in a savings account

knowledge society. It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we're partly there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more in many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breadth of the economic transformation can't be measured by numbers alone, because it also gives rise to a radical new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held notions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers--all these are being challenged. We only have to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform. our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow's achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more vital, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information services will be predominant. It will be the way you do your job.

A characteristic of the information age is that ______.

A．most of the job opportunities can now be found in the service industry

B．manufacturing industries are steadily increasing

C．people find it harder and harder to earn a living by working in factories

D．the service industry is relying more and more on the female work force
