| In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was "Save water. Shower with a friend." Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now. Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they' re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time. "It's aflawin the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card," said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students' suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they've finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water- saving sense. Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. "In my experience, l0 -20 minutes is enough," said Dai Zhihua, a third -year student who usually takes 8 minutes. A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two -minute shower. |

Jill Ker Conway ,president of Smith ,echoes the prevailing view of contemporary technology when she says that " anyone in today's world who doesn't understand data processing is not educated. " But she insists that the mcreasing emphasis on these matters leave certain gaps. Says she: "The very strongly utilitarian emphasis in education ,which is an effect of man-made satellites and the cold war, has really removed from this culture something that was very profound in its 18th and 19th century roots ,which was a sense that literacy and learning were ends in themselves for a demo- cratic republic. "
In contrast to Plato's claim for the social value of education,a quite different idea of intellectu-al purposes was advocated by the Renaissance humanists. Ovejoyed with their rediscovery of the classical leaming that was thought to have disappeared during the Dark Ages,they argued that the imparting of knowledge needs no justification-religious ,social ,economic ,or political. Its purpose,to the extent that it has one ,is to pass on from generation to generation the corpus of knowledge that constitutes civilization. "What could man acquire ,by virtuous striving ,that is more valuable than knowledge？" asked Erasmus ,perhaps the greatest scholar of the early 16th century. That idea has acquired a tradition of its own. "The educational process has no end beyond itself," said John Dewey. "It is its own end. "
But what exactly is the corpus of knowledge to be passed on？ In simpler times ,it was all included in the medieval universities' Quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music ) and Trivium(grammar, thetoric ,logic). As recently as the last century ,when less than 5% of Americans went to college at all, students in New England establishments were compelled mainly to memorize and recite various Latin texts,and crusty professors angrily opposed the introduction of any new scientific discoveries or modern European languages. "They felt," said regretfully Charles Francis Adams, Jr. ,the Union Pacific Railroad president who devoted his later years to writing history ,"that a classical education was the important distinction between a man who had been to college and a man who had not been to college ,and that anything that diminished the importance of this distinction was essentially revolutionary and tended to anarchy. "

Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an【21】should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually , 【22】, most people make several job choices during their working lives, 【23】because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve【24】positions. The " one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should【25】enter into a broad flexible training program that will【26】them for a field of work rather than for a single【27】.
Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans【28】benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing【29】about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, then choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss【30】. Some drift from job to job. Others【31】to work in which they are unhappy or for which they are not fitted.
One common mistake is choosing an occupation for【32】real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students—or their parents for them—choose the professional field, 【33】both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal【34】. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "white-collar" job is【35】good reason for choosing it as lifework.【36】, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the【37】of young people should give serious【38】to these fields.
Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants【39】life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security, others are willing to take【40】for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.
