Directions: Listen to a short passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, listen for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear. When the passage is read for the third time, check what you have written.

What is good education? Is it one that covers as much as possible of

human history and (1)achievements, past and present? Or one that gives graduates the ability to find a job when they leave school? Is it a broad education or a (2)specialized one? Should it provide students with a (3)vast collection of facts? Or merely train them to think? Should a future engineer gain only the knowledge that will enable him to do his job properly, or would a richer background improve his

(4)professional ability as well as his personal life?

In the 18th and the 19th centuries, the question was not even worth asking. A good education was, of course, a broad one based on the humanities. An (5)educated man knew "something about everything". He

(6)was familiar with the great deeds and the great ideas of the past. He had read (7)extensively; he was able to use his own language correctly and often (8)elegantly. He could join in any conversation about plants, planets, painters, or politics. He was at ease in the world, and he knew that his education would open to him any career that he might want to try.

But sciences and techniques have changed (9)a great deal since the

latter part of the 19th century, and the world has changed too. It has become more complex and increasingly specialized. There is much more to know in every field. It is not only the scientist and the physician who need a long special training now, but the administrator, the computer expert, the accountant, and the business manager.

(10)Besides, the sharp increase of college graduates has made the competition for jobs much harder than it used to be. The best qualified wins.
