The literal meaning of philosophy is “l(fā)ove of wisdom”.But this meaning does not tell us very much.Unlike the other disciplines, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it si actually unlimited.Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: are, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy.For this reason you get a Doctorate(博士學(xué)位)of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology.
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy.Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking.It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasonign.The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of philosophy.
Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement.It is necessary for understanding other disciplines.Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other disciplines.And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.
There are a number of general uses of philosophy.It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data.These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on.It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job.The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement.No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict.

Several hundred strangers received “l(fā)ove letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang, a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology,who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.
Yang’s story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country’s wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills,and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.
They are China’s “ant tribe(蟻族)”, a term created by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe. “They’re so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They’re intelligent and hard-working, yet nameless and underpaid.” The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle -- only the strongest survive.
A survey in Lian’s another book published this year, Ant Tribe II, found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities—almost three times last year’s percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of "ants" have at least a master’s degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.
An “ant’s” average monthly salary is l, 904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.
Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.
“Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didn’t arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities’ employment markets.” Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.
The “ant tribe’s” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang
believed.
However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.
【小題1】Yang’s story is introduced in order to_________.
A.a(chǎn)nalyze graduates’ difficulties in finding jobs |
B.lead to the topic of the article—“ant tribe” |
C.tell readers a story about those big cities |
D.show a clever way of dealing with pressure |
A.they have no diplomas from good universities |
B.their majors do not meet the needs of society |
C.those from rural areas are not treated equally |
D.they do not have necessary professional skills |
A.they live in narrow and small places in groups |
B.they work hard but earn little for survival |
C.they are in a world judged by the jungle law |
D.they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid |
A.creating more jobs for graduates in big cities |
B.developing smaller cities to attract graduates |
C.sending graduates to rural areas and small towns |
D.training graduates to improve their ability |

There is a saying in French—“Si vieillesse pouvait, si jeunesse savait”—which means roughly “if age had the ability, if youth had the knowledge.” I was reminded of this saying the other day when I saw an interview with a distinguished Asian neurosurgeon(神經(jīng)外科醫(yī)生), now retired, about the impact of computer technology on modern surgery.
He was referring to the difficulty people of his age had in using the new techniques, but also to the fact that younger surgeons, who are more comfortable with the technology, lack some of the wisdom of experience.
It struck me that this problem is not just confined(局限于) to specialized fields such as medicine, but is widespread in modern life. There are many areas where the rapid growth of technology has widened the generation gap.
Young people are at ease with modern technology and propose all sorts of ways for using and developing it. But they often lack the experience needed to see further into the future to the possible dangers that a particular development may cause.
Older people see all sorts of difficulties and dangers, but are sometimes ignored, or even accused of being against progress, if they point out potential problems. Equally, they may see potential uses, but not have the technical skills to put them into practice themselves or the trust in the younger generation to do so.
Enthusiasm and inexperience come into conflict with caution and arrogance, usually with unsatisfactory results for both sides.
What is needed is the development of a partnership, based on mutual respect, which can deliver real progress by combining enthusiasm and caution in a constructive way, rather than in conflict with each other. The old need to give the younger generation the time, the resources and, above all, the authority to develop new ideas and use their skills. In exchange, the young need to turn more actively to the older generation to seek their advice and exploit their greater experience of the world in foreseeing and overcoming potential problems.
【小題1】The passage is mainly about ________.
A.the impact of computer technology on modern surgery |
B.a(chǎn)n interview with a distinguished Asian neurosurgeon |
C.new generation gap between the old and the young |
D.a(chǎn) conflict between knowledge and experience |
A.introduce the topic |
B.show the difference between French and English |
C.make readers confused |
D.prove the writer’s wisdom |
A.Old people’s enthusiasm in obtaining new technology. |
B.Old people’s difficulty in using computers. |
C.Young surgeons’ bad manners in working. |
D.Young surgeons’ difficulty in getting experience. |
A.They are happy with modern technology. |
B.They are easy to learn new techniques. |
C.They can foresee the future of the young generation. |
D.They are rich in work experience. |
A.The young and the old should respect and learn from each other. |
B.The young should teach the old modern technology. |
C.The old should maintain their authority in every field. |
D.The young and the old should work independently. |
