40、nyourAnswerSheet.(18points,2pointseachfor71-75,8pointsfor76)71不幸的是，我們地球上高尚的野蠻人和未被玷污的地方越來越少，除了北極和南極，邊疆地區(qū)已無處可覓。72美國唯一沒有受到經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條影響的產(chǎn)業(yè)就是美容業(yè)。73在消費者中有組織的浪費是我們工業(yè)繁榮的先決條件。消費者將買來的東西越快扔掉并購買新的，對生產(chǎn)者就越好。74這一切至關(guān)重要且相互關(guān)聯(lián)的因素共同決定一個人晚年生活的質(zhì)量。75對于這些產(chǎn)品領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，競爭的不是價格或顧客服務(wù)（盡管那些不容忽視），而是產(chǎn)品的性能。76讀寫能力可能算不上一項不可剝奪的人權(quán)，但我們極有學(xué)問的開國元勛們并不覺得

41、它不合理，甚至達(dá)不到。從統(tǒng)計數(shù)字看，我們不僅沒有在全國范圍內(nèi)達(dá)到人人都能讀寫的目標(biāo)，而目離達(dá)到這個目標(biāo)越來越遠(yuǎn)。盡管我不會簡單到認(rèn)為電視是造成這一局面的直接原因，我卻相信它起了一定作用，是一個影響因素。答案及評分參考I.1-5ETFSM610LDJUR11-15KCINB21-24XVGAII.25-30QORJUG3639TISNIII.40-44AABBB5054BBAAAIV.5559BCCDB1620QWOHP31-35BCHEL4549ABBAA6064ADDAC65.想到中國和印度培養(yǎng)出數(shù)十萬的工程師和科學(xué)家，美國驚駭不已，立即激勵本國最具聰明才智者盡其所能。然而到目前十所中學(xué)有七所只提名過一個孩子，去年，要求各學(xué)校必須呈遞排名前10%的學(xué)生名單。但在其他許多國家里，反對挑選天才，并加以培養(yǎng)的想法根深蒂固。在人口成分更加復(fù)雜而教師能力較弱的地方斯堪的納維亞的中等主義也許就不大起作用了。波爾認(rèn)為，只要及早開始，教育得當(dāng)，加上充分地練習(xí)，
