问答题
To a comparative educationalist many questions about the selection and training of doctors and lawyers in different countries are questions almost without meaning. Asking whether Europeanschools are better than schools in the United States are like asking a【S1】______comparative anatomist whether a whale is a better mammal than an elephant. The comparative anatomist is interested in examining the similarities and differences to be found in animal or plant organswhich carry on the same function; he is very cautious,【S2】______therefore, about proclaiming the virtues of a device found in one【S3】______particular species over a device for a similar purpose found in other.【S4】______Of course, the anatomist knows that mammals are modified onlyslowly by changes in environment; like schools or colleges, no man-【S5】______made decisions will radically alter the structure of the functioning organism he is examining. Some will argue that this damages my analogy; they may claimthat the essence of human organizations lies in the fact conscious【S6】______acts of men and women can change them, and as history shows, overnight if need be. " But wait a moment, " the student of the comparative anatomy of schools will say, " not overnight surely, except at the point of a bayonet or in our time under the shadow of armored vehicles and tanks. " And such changes, he will argue, are the equivalent of pathological alterations.【S7】______ History shows that, except in conditions of threat brought about【S8】______by external forces, schools and colleges have developed gradually indifferent parts of the world in response to variety of different【S9】______conditions. They are a product of the society they serve for and they【S10】______also influence the future of this society.【S1】
