Already there is an

16、overabundance of teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there.

17、mporary jobs which do not require a college degree. These “temporary“ jobs have a habit of becoming permanent.On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, and TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle and th

18、eir annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that a college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. Pare

19、nts begin telling their children this myth before they are out of grade school. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter. Everybody should go to college.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who

20、do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year.

27、ressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence of sportthe pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun.

Football is the third worlds most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of internatio

29、nal sporting success. Mention Argentina to someone and the chances are that he ll think of football.

30、 they won in 1966.

36、ing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again?

37、cult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do.

In addition, life is always presenting new things to the childthings that have lost their interest

38、for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pa

39、y for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry.

45、ch has long concerned social analystshas at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nations moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago,

46、 is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.I But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. “The thought that Im in it for me has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,“ Ms. Elshtain says
