Passage Three
Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Your mind like your body is a thing where powers are
developed by effort.This is a major use,as I see
it,of hard work in studies.Unless you train your body
you can’t be a good sportsman,and unless you train
your mind you can’t be much of a scholar( 學(xué)者).The four miles
a boatman covers at top speed is in itself
nothing to the good,but the physical effort to persist
over the distance is thought to be of some value.So a
good part of what you learn by hard study may not be
kept forever,any may not seem to be of much final
value,but your mind is a better and more powerful tool
because you have learned it.“Knowledge is
power",but still more the ability to acquire and use
knowledge is power.If you have a trained and powerful
mind,you are bound to have stored it with something.
Its value is more in what it can do,what it can
understand and use,than in the knowledge you stored
in it in college.With a trained mind and nothing useful
left in it,you wou
ld still be ahead,and still,in a sense,educated.
