Albert Einstein once attributed (把...歸因于) the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he "never went to school, and therefore preserved (保護) the rare gift of thinking freely." There is undoubtedly truth in Einstein's observation: many artists and geniuses (天才) seem to view their schooling as a disadvantage (不利). But such a truth is not a criticism of schools. It is the function of schools to civilize, not to train explorers. The explorer is always a lonely individual whether his or her pioneering is in art, music, science, or technology. The creative explorer of unmapped lands shares with the genius what William James described as the "faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way." In so far as schools teach perceptual (感性的) patterns they tend to destroy creativity and genius. But if schools could somewhat exist solely (單獨地) to cultivate (培養(yǎng)) genius, then society would break down. For the social order demands unity and widespread agreement, both traits (特性) that are destructive to creativity. There will always be conflict between the demands of society and the impulses (動力) of creativity and genius.

C. Explorers and geniuses look at the world differently from the way most people do.D. Schools can never satisfy the needs of both genius and society as a whole.

Events took place around the world last week to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The March eighth observance came as thousands of delegates from one hundred thirty countries met at the United Nations in New York. They discussed progress on a plan of action for women's equality. The document was approved ten years ago at a conference in Beijing.
It calls for improved health care for women, along with economic and political gains. It also calls for efforts to reduce human rights violations against women.
In Asia last Tuesday, there were demonstrations against unfair treatment of women.
In Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held a Conference of Women Leaders. Laura Bush, the president's wife, spoke at the event which had representatives from fifteen Muslim nations. The first lady praised recent political gains for Muslim women.
In Afghanistan, for example, President Hamid Karzai has appointed the first female governor of a province. In Iraq, women hold almost one-third of the 249 seats in the newly elected National Assembly. And Missus Bush noted that nearly half the voters in the Palestinian presidential election were women.
International Women’s Day began in nineteen ten in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was designed to build support for voting rights for women worldwide. Missus Bush noted that it took American women many years to be recognized as full citizens with the right to vote.
Last week, just before International Women Day's, hundreds of women and men demonstrated in Kuwait to demand the right for women to vote. The government urged parliament to act quickly to debate such reforms.
Also last Monday, Human Rights Watch released a report on sexual violence by soldiers and members of armed groups in eastern Congo. The New York-based group says tens of thousands of women and young girls have been raped and beaten. Yet it says almost all the crimes have gone without punishment.
