[单项选择] 26-30
According to a survey, which was based
on the responses of over 188,000 students, today’s traditional-age college
freshmen are "more materialistic and less altruistic(利他主义的)"than at any time in
the 17 years of the poll. Not surprising in these hard times,
the student’s major objective "is to be financially well off. Less important
than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life". It follows then that
today the most popular course is not literature or history but
accounting. Interest in teaching, social service and the
"altruistic" fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business
programs, engineering and computer science is way up. That’s no
surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical
company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year
on the job--e A. Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded. B. Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong. C. People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life. D. Career seekers should not focus on immediate interests only.
