单项选择题

请根据下文回答41-45题:2006年人才蓝皮书指出,在中国、美国、日本、德国、俄罗斯和印度六国人才国际竞争力排名中,中国位居第四位,仅排在俄罗斯和印度之前,属于第三层次。中国人才国际竞争力远低于排在第一位的美国,仅相当于美国的48%,总体差距非常明显。不过,令人意外的是,我国人才浪费现象却比较严重。蓝皮书指出,一方面,七成知识分子走在“过劳死”的边缘;另一方面,人才资源能力发挥程度偏低,总体能力发挥程度的平均数为61.9%,与充分发挥的差距为28.1%专家由此测算出,2005年我国人才浪费总规模超过2500万人,导致的经济消耗和经济损失超过9000亿元。人才居然被浪费了?这个结论确实会让不少国人感到意外,毕竟多年来我们一直在强调科教薄弱的国情。怎么一下子人才反倒考试浪费了?这看似吊诡的结论,仔细思索之后却也不难找到答案。那些处于事业有成人生巅峰状态的人才的英年早逝,无疑是一个国家的巨大损失。今年来中国获得了前所未有的大发展,但是,我们看到,生活压力与不科学的工作方式同样成了犯杀人才的罪恶之手。有调查显示,北京知识分子的平均寿命从10年前的五十八九岁降到五十三四岁。就在全球为老龄化社会【 】时,知识分子“减去五岁”的显示无疑是一个值得警惕的信号。然而,更大的浪费仍在于日常生活与工作之中,古人云,“吾生也有涯,而知也无涯”;今人同样将社会比作“最好的大学”。归根到底,学习是一辈子的事。这也意味着任何国家的人才培养都是一个漫长的系统工程,而不是以一个人是否大学毕业为准绳。在此意义上,建立一个学习型社会与创造型社会愈发显得重要。同样,为避免人才浪费,一个旨在实现人才价值的体制无比重要。经济学有个著名的“劣币驱逐良币”原理,讲的是当那些低于法定重量或者成色的铸币(劣币)进入流通领域以后,人们往往会先用劣币,而将那些良币收藏起来,久而久之,良币便会退出市场。不可否认,今日知识界之所以时常出现抄袭现象,正是因为抄袭者能变相得到社会的“报偿”与“奖励”。如果不学无术者位居权位,抄袭者赚得盆满钵满,久而久之,便会出现外行驱逐内行、伪学者驱逐真人才、谎言驱逐真实的尴尬危局。法国著名的思想家圣西门曾经讲过一段十分经典的话:“假如法国突然失去了自己的50名优秀物理学家,50名优秀化学家,50名优秀诗人,50名优秀作家,50名优秀军事家和民用工程师……法国马上就会变成一具没有灵魂的僵尸。”正因为此,世界上所有致力于真正焕发本民族活力的政府,都不遗余力地促进各个领域杰出头脑的崛起。而未来中国的发展,同样要得益于无数杰出头脑的崛起。

文章末尾法国思想家圣西门的话表明:

A.法国政府很注重焕发本民族活力

B.各国优秀科学家是整个世界的灵魂

C.国家应在各个领域均衡培育优秀人才

D.各国的发展均得益于优秀科学家的出现
