Aristotle was one of those who could found a civilization, and while he thought of education as both a social value and an end in itself, he ascribed its chief importance (21) what might be considered a third basic concept of education: to train the mind to think, (22) what it is thinking about. The key is not (23) it knows but how it (24) any new fact or argument. "An educated man," Aristotle wrote in On the Parts of Animals, "should be able to (25) a fair offhand judgment as to the goodness or badness of the method used by a professor in his exposition. To be (26) is in fact to be able to do this."
The Aristotle view of education as a (27) has become the conventionally worthy answer today (28) college presidents and other academic leaders are asked what an education should be. An educated man, says Harvard President Bok, (29) a deep breath, must have a "curiosity in (30) the unfamiliar and unexpected, an open-mindedness in entertaining opposing points of view, (31) for the ambiguity that surrounds so many important issues, and a willingness to make the best decision he can in the fact of uncertainty and doubt."
This is an approach that appears to (32) more importance to the process of learning (33) to the substance of what is learned.

单项选择题

阅读以下文字,完成以下问题。
书有许多种,有的明白[①],使人轻松愉悦;有的艰深[②],不易理解。能够提高人的理解力和思维水平的,往往是那些能够启人心智、起到“磨脑子”作用的好书。对于不同的人,“磨脑子”的标准当然是不同的,但有一点是肯定的,如果你不满足于自己的头脑中平庸见解泛滥、空洞思想舞蹈,信息垃圾肆虐;如果你还想让自己跟上时代、保持精神生活的优势,那就一定要读那些“磨脑子”的书。只有那些稍微超过自己知识积累、认知水平、理解能力的书,让自己感到阅读起来略感困难的书,才能激活你的 [③],启发你的[④],磨炼你的[⑤],而那些轻松阅读便可一览无余的书,那些总让你有居高临下,产生心理优势的书;那些看起来好玩想起来没用的书,虽然也能在“开卷有益”的意义上使人受益,但对于注重效率、惜时如金的现代人来说,便[⑥]是浪费时间了。[⑦]这种阅读违背时间经济原则,用较多时间去获取相对无用的信息,投入和产出不相称,是划不来的。
什么是“磨脑子”的书就是那种看上去比较难懂,不是驾轻就熟的书;是非静下心来深入思考就不能理解的书;是需要反复思考依然还有许多地方读不太懂的书;是要经常在笔记本上记下大量困惑和疑问的书。打个未必恰当的比喻:读这种书的感受就好像啃骨头,费劲,却别有一番滋味在心头;而吃现成的肉当然也好,但终于不如啃骨头来得给劲。

[①]和[②]恰当的措辞是( )。

A.浅显 难懂

B.浅显 晦涩

C.晓畅 晦涩

D.晓畅 难懂
