14、rying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car: it needs more care as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare

15、 parts. (87) But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you stop treating the old body?

For examp

22、le, too many tourists can crowd pubic places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy

23、. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. (88)If tourism grows

24、 too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, ai

25、rports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.

26、Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water.

30、 and hotelsD. tourism can provide people more jobs The universities have trained the intellectual pioneers of our civilizationthe priests, the lawyers, the statesmen, the doctors, the men of science, and the men of letters。 The conduct of business now requires intellectual imagination of the same ty

31、pe as that which in former times has mainly passed into those other occupations。 There is one great difficulty which hampers all the higher types of human endeavor。 In modern times this difficulty has even increased in its possibilities for evil。 In any large organization the younger men, who are no

32、vices, must be set to jobs which consist in carrying out fixed duties in obedience to orders。 No president of a large corporation meets his youngest employee at his office door with the offer of the most responsible job which the work of that corporation includes。 The young men are set to work at a

33、fixed routine, and only occasionally even see the president as he passes in and out of the building。 Such work is a great discipline。 It imparts knowledge, and it produces reliability of character; also it is the only work for which the young men, in that novice stage, are fit, and it is the work fo

34、r which they are hired。 （89）There can be no criticism of the custom, but there may be an unfortunate effect that prolonged (长久的)routine work dulls the imagination。 The way in which a university should function in the preparation for an intellectual career, such as modern business or one of the older

35、 professions, is by promoting the imaginative consideration of the various general principles underlying that career。 Its students thus pass into their period of technical apprenticeship with their imaginations already practiced in connecting details with general principles。 The routine then receive

36、s its meaning, and also illuminates the principles which give it that meaning。 Hence, instead of a drudgery issuing in a blind rule of thumb, the properly trained man has some hope of obtaining an imagination disciplined by detailed facts and by necessary habits。 Thus the proper function of a univer

37、sity is the imaginative acquisition of knowledge。 Apart from this importance of the imagination, there is no reason why business men, and other professional men, should not pick up their facts bit by bit as they want them for particular occasions。 A university is imaginative or it is nothing-at leas

38、t nothing useful。 31. According the passage, is a basic requirement for work in all professions. A. imagination B. reliability of character C. discipline D. obedience to orders 32. Which of the following serves best as the title of the passage?A. Limitation of the University B. The Proper Function o

40、oyee and the business 34. If a university is to be of any use, it should prepare the student for an intellectual career by .A. offering knowledge and developing skills B. developing students independence in thinking C. disciplining the students in their subject fieldsD. promoting the imagination in

41、connecting details with general principles 35. Whats the “ great difficulty which gets in the way of all the higher types of human effort”?A. Prolonged and fixed routine work in the apprenticeship period B. The young employees seldom seeing the president of the company. C. Universities failure to ge
