听力原文：Nancy: Good evening. I'm Nancy Johnson: The guest on our radio talk this evening is Professor Wang Gongwu. Hello, Professor Wang.
Wang: Hello.
Nancy: Professor Wang. You are now professor emeritus of Australian National University, and in your long academic career, you've worn many hats as tutor, lecturer, department head, dean, professor and vice chancellor. However, as I know, you are still very fond of your university days as a student.
Wang: That's right. That was in 1949. The university I went to was a brand new university then and the only one in the country at that time. When I look back, it was an amazingly small university, and we knew everybody.
Nancy: How did the students like you, for example, study then？
Wang: We did not study very hard, because we did not have to. We didn't have all this fantastic competition that you have today.
Nancy: Emm.
Wang: We were always made to feel that getting a first degree in the arts faculty was not preparation for a profession. It was a general education. We were not under any pressure to decide on our careers. And we had such a good time. We were left very much on our own. And we were encouraged to make things happen.
Nancy: What do you see is the most striking difference in the present day education since then？
Wang: University education has changed dramatically since those days. Things are very specialized today.
Nancy: Yes, definitely so. And in your subsequent career experience as an educator, and later administrator in various institutions of higher education in Asia and elsewhere, Professor Wang, you have repeatedly noted that one has to look at the development of education in one particular country in the broad cont ext. What do you mean by that？
Wang: Well, the whole world has moved away from elite education in universities to meet the needs of mass education. And entering universities is no longer a privilege for the few. And universities today are more concerned with providing jobs for their graduates in a way that universities in our time never had to be bothered about. Therefore, the emphasis of university pro grams today is now on the practical and the utilitarian lather than on a general education or on personal development.
Nancy: Do you think that is a welcome development？
Wang: Well, I personally regret this development, but the basic bachelor's education now has to cater to people who really need a piece of paper to find a decent job.
Nancy: So you are concerned about this development.
Wang: Yes, I'm very concerned. With technical changes, many of the things that you learn are technical skills which don't require you to become very well educated. Yet if you can master those skills, you can get very good jobs. So the technical institutions are going to be increasingly popular at these expensive traditional universities.
Nancy: Professor Wang, let's look at a different issue. How do you comment on the current phenomenon that more and more universities admit students because the fees they pay？
Wang: Well, once you accept students on financial grounds, one wonders whether you have to pass them as well. But this is the development in education that we have to contend with. Yet, if we are concerned about maintaining standards, what we can do is to concentrate on improving the quality of education.
Nancy: Yes, you are right. A university is judged by the quality of education it offers. Professor Wang, let's turn to the future. What type of graduates, in your view, the universities of the future need to produce if they
A．Students worked very hard.
B．Students felt they needed a second degree.
C．Education was not career-oriented.
D．There were many specialized subjects.
