15、渐对孩子充满敌意的世界里,我们想要通过爱的冲动来对孩子表达我们的关心,通常就意味着要花钱.但是当我们的孩子回家找我们要最新设计的衣服时,我跟我的妻子知道我们大多数情况下要说“不”.当然,我们决定家里不买电视是第一个突破.如果我们没能从它的影响中释放出我们自己的感受,我很怀疑我们到底赢了还是输了这场斗争.当我还是孩子的时候,我是在一个现在看来很穷的家里长大的.在我人生的最初几年,我只能吃最少量的食物.然而,我发现我想象不出一个更幸福的童年.为什么?因为我的父母每天都给予了我们时间和关系.比如,不管他们多忙,他们都尽量在每天早上我们上学前跟我们一起吃早餐.没有一个小孩要在贫穷中渡过.但是我坚信一个

16、孩子的幸福肯定不取决于他（她）所拥有的物质财富.毕竟,是我们给予孩子的爱而不是物质会伴随他们的一生.当了30年的家庭顾问后,我知道父母肯定是爱他们的孩子的,而且都想对他们的孩子最好.但是要给予孩子爱意味着什么?下次,当你觉得你让孩子失望了,然后试图想通过带点礼物给孩子就消除他们的情绪的话,请记住我们买不到孩子的感情.他们真正想要和需要的是时间和关注,乐于倾听的耳朵和鼓励的话语.这些是任何一位父母都能给予的.In the 1990severyone believed that education was the key to economic SuccessA collegedegreeeven

17、 a postgraduate degree，was essential for everyone who wanted a good job as 0ne ofthose“symbolic analyst”在二十世纪九十年代，每个人都相信教育是经济成功的关键。大学学历，甚至是一个在职的研究生学位，对每个想获得好工作诸如“符号分析师“人也是必须的。But computers are proficient at analyzing symbols；it is the messiness of the real world thalthev haye trouble withTherefore，m

18、any of the jobs that once required a college degree havebeen eliminatedThe others can be done by any intelligent person，whether or not he has studiedliterature计算机精通分析符号，但是他所存在问题，在真实世界是混乱的。因此，许多以前需要大学学历的工作现在已经取消了。其他的工作能够通过许多聪明的人来完成，无论他是不是学习过文学。This trend should have been obvious in 1 996Even then，Ame

19、ricans richest man was BBatesa cOllege dropout who did not need a lot of formal education to build the worlds mostpowerful information technology company这种趋势自1996年后变得很明显。甚至是美国最富有的人比尔盖茨。一个大学退学生，他不需要许多正常的教育来构建强有力的信息技术公司。Or consider the panic over“downsizing”that gripped America in 1 996An economistsau

21、orkers were in demandThis should have signaled that thedays of the everrising wage premiums for people with higher education were over或者，（咱们）考虑下1996年笼罩在美国的“裁员”恐巨慌。一个经济学家很快指出90年代在美国失业率与标准相比并不特别高。裁员突然成为新闻，因为第一次的，大批受过大学教育的白领工作被解雇，即使同时需求熟练的机械师和其他蓝领工人。这应该标志着以前对受过较高教育的人给予较高的工资奖金的时代结束了。Eventualty,the erodi

23、d-nursing,carpentry,household maintenance and soon-pay nearly as much as if not more than a job that requires a masters degree,and pay morethan one requiring a PhD最终，削弱高等教育的所获收入回报在教育本身也引起了危机。为什么一个上了四年大学和几年研究生的学生获得较高的学术资历但工作时获得较少的金钱价值？现在的时代，需要6-12个月的假期儿童看护工作，木工，家务保洁工等等，工资支付的几乎一样多，好象这些没有一个需要硕士学位的工作，需要

24、博士学位的工作工资高一些。So enrOllment in colleges and universities has dropped almost two thirds，since its peak atthe turn of this centuryToday a place like Harvard is，a it was in the 1 9th century,more of asocial institution than a scholarly onea place for children of the wealthy to refine their socialgraces

25、and befriend others of their class因此高校入学率下降了约三分之二，而在本世纪初是入学的高峰。今天当哈佛这样的地方，在19世纪是一个社会性多于学者性的学院，是一个让有钱的孩子们变得在社会上优雅并能友好的对待他们同阶层的人的地方。如今，只需要6或12个月职业培训的工作孩子护理、木匠、家庭维修等与要求有研究生学位的工作相比，其报酬如果不是更高的话，几乎是一样多的；它的工资比要求有博士学位的工作还要高。1 高等教育的作者的观点是什么在未来?答:这将是经济成功的关键。b .它将成为类似专业培训。c .高等教育的贬值将是趋势。d .高等教育的重点将计算机科学。2 作者给_
