{{B}}TEXT A{{/B}} His ignorance was as
remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics
he appeared to know next to nothing. Upon my quoting Thomas Carlyle, he inquired
in the naivest way who he might be and what he had done. My surprise reached a
climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the
Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar system.
"You appear to be astonished," Holmes said, smiling at my expression. "Now
that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it. You see, I consider that a
man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it
with such furniture as you choose: A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort
that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets
crowded out, or at best jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has
difficulty in laying his hand upon it. It is a mistake to think that the little
room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there
comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you
know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless
facts elbowing out the useful ones." "But the Solar System!" I
protested. "What the deuce is it to me?" he interrupted
impatiently, One morning, I picked up a magazine from the table
and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched
silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and
I naturally began to run my eye through it. Its somewhat
ambitious title was "The Book of Life," and it attempted to show how much an
observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that
came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of
absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deduction appeared to me
to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression,
a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man's inmost thought.
Deceit, according to him, was impossibility in the case of one trained to
observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many
propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated
that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might
well consider him as a necromancer. "From a drop of water," said
the writer, "a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life
is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single
link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one
which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to
allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it."
This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession
of evidences justified it.

{{B}}TEXT A{{/B}} The case for college has
been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school
graduates Ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence,
because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and
learn to be more responsible than those who don't go. But
college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close
to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern
are becoming more numerous and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes
and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and
write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission
to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out
often encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say
the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and expecting too
much. But that's a condemnation of the students as a whole and doesn't explain
all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly
right. We've been told that young people have to go to college because our
economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed
graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained
twenty-two-year olds either. Some adventuresome educators and
campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best,
the proper, or the only place for every young person after the completion of
high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside
down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college
experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy,
liberal, or quick to learn things. Maybe it's just the other way around, and
intelligent, ambitious, happy; liberal, quick-learning people are merely the
ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all
those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had
gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up
to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be better. But
contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.
单选题Open up most fashion magazines and you will see incredibly thin models with impossible hair and wearing unreasonably expensive, impracticably styled clothes. But shouldn't clothes be comfortably durable and make a principle of being simple for the individual who wears them? Why are we constantly told that we need to buy new clothes and add fresh pieces to our collection? Fashions change year after year so lots of people can make piles of money. If folks are convinced that they need a different look each season, that this year's sweater's length and shoes style are important, they can be persuaded to buy. The fashion industry would have you ignore your shortcomings and just make you feel beautiful and happy. In fact it is not only a phenomenon we can find in people's dressing. Fashion controls our lives. Fashion controls what we wear, what we eat, what we drink, the way we cut our hair, the makeup we buy and use, the color of the cars we drive. Fashion even controls our ideas. You don't believe me? How many of your friends are vegetarians? Why are they vegetarians? Because it is fashionable! Where does fashion come from? Often the reasons are quite logical. Scientists and historians study the fashions of the past and discover the secrets of each fashion. When girls see an attractive guy, their blood pressure rises and their lips become redder. That's why guys think that girls wearing lipstick are beautiful. Why do guys shave their heads? In the past soldiers shaved their heads to kill the insects that lived in their hair. Now guys shave their heads so that they look strong and masculine, like soldiers. People spend a lot of time and money on fashion. But are they wasting their money? Changes in fashion help to develop new technologies. Changes in style create work for people all over the world. Many people work in the fashion industry, particularly in the fashion capitals of London, New York, Paris and Milan. And finally, fashion makes you feel good, doesn't it? When you are dressed in the latest style, dancing to the most fashionable music, after watching the latest hit film, you feel great, don't you?
