听力题 Education has encountered a kind of embarrassment in modern times. We are becoming unsatisfied with years of patient practice before working as a skilled craftsman. Nowadays if we want to get a decent job, we have to possess a piece of paper. Without a certificate or a diploma, you can hardly get promotion in even the humblest job. We may know that we will be better at the job than the man with the paper qualifications, but our experience and practical skills are regarded as relatively unimportant compared with that. On more than one occasion we can hear such remarks as "Jack would have been a manager if he had taken pains to get a degree." "Given the same chance, he could have done even better. But he didn''t receive a proper education!" I wonder if we would discover that many so called unqualified people but with practical experience and ability would have been rejected while those paper qualifiers confused before complicated blueprints and machine parts. Wouldn''t it be better to allow people become expert in a way most suited to them? To feed them a set of instruction courses blindly may offer no opportunity for them to develop skills. It''s high time for educators to work out new training measures.
