14、 of study, but also of young men with older men, with veterans and professionals in the great undertaking of learning, of teachers with pupils, outside the classroom as well as inside it. No one is successfully educated within the walls of any particular classroom or laboratory or museum; and no amo

15、unt of association, however close and familiar and delightful, between mere beginners can ever produce the sort of enlightenment which the young lad gets when he first begins to catch the infection of learning. The trouble with most of our colleges nowadays is that the faculty of the college live on

16、e life and the undergraduates quite a different one. They constitute two communities. The life of the undergraduates is not touched with the personal influence of the teachers: life among the teachers is not touched by the personal impressions which should come from frequent and intimate contact wit

17、h undergraduates. This separation need not exist, and, in the college of the ideal university, would not exist. It is perfectly possible to organize the life of our colleges in such a way that students and teachers alike will take part in it; in such a way that a perfectly natural daily intercourse

18、will be established between them; and it is only by such an organization that they can be given real vitality as places of serious training, be made communities in which youngsters will come fully to realize how interesting intellectual work is, how vital, how important, how closely associated with

19、all modern achievement-only by such an organization that study can be made to seem part of life itself. Lectures often seem very formal and empty things; recitations generally prove very dull and unrewarding. It is in conversation and natural intercourse with scholars chiefly that you find how livel

20、y knowledge is, how it ties into everything that is interesting and important, how intimate a part it is of everything that is “practical“ and connected with the world. Men are not always made thoughtful by books; but they are generally made thoughtful by association with men who think. The present

21、and most pressing problem of our university authorities is to bring about this vital association for the benefit of the novices of the university world, the undergraduates. Classroom methods are thorough enough; competent scholars already lecture and set tasks and superintend their performance; but

22、the life of the average undergraduate outside the classroom and other stated appointments with his instructors is not very much affected by his studies, and is entirely dissociated from intellectual interests. 18 An ideal college _. （ A） should have mature, experienced and professional men on its st

23、aff （ B） should be managed by experienced scholars （ C） should be managed by experienced scholars and energetic young men （ D） should see tight, harmonious connection between the experienced and the inexperienced 19 Successful education is the acquiring of knowledge from _. （ A） classrooms, laborato

24、ries and museums （ B） all sources available （ C） intimate association between beginners （ D） experienced scholars 20 Beginners are not likely to get the sort of enlightenment mentioned in the passage from _. （ A） themselves （ B） books （ C） scholars （ D） experience 21 The teacher and the student do n
