题目4 Which source is more important the knowledge form books or the knowledge from experience
When it comes to the question which source is more important, the knowledge gained from books or the knowledge learned from experience? People differ their attitude towards this question. Some maintain that knowledge gained from experience is to human what the foundation is to a skyscraper. Others hold the idea that with the bloom of the printing technology, knowledge acquired from books becomes cheaper, so it is playing a more important role in modern society. Both these two ideas have their own reasons.
In general, no one can deny the fact that knowledge acquired from books is second-hand experience from other people. Knowledge in books would never be so marvelous or abundant as it is today without the existence of knowledge gained from experience. How can you imagine a man try to learn to swim without the experience of jumping in to water or a scientist declares a hypothesis without experiments? Moreover the knowledge acquired from experience is much more comprehensive and impressive than that from books.
On the other hand, it can be argued that knowledge gained from books has a wider range than that gained from experience. An increasing number of people are beginning to realize that a man can not put every thing into practice. So the knowledge acquired from experience seems too limited. On the contrary, we can learn everything in library only if we have already acquired basic reading skills, philosophy, history, literature, physics, mathematics, and the list will go on.
As to which source is more important, it really depends. We can see that man can not develop without either knowledge gained from experience or knowledge from books. For the simple reason that the former is more essential, but the latter has no limitations. In a word, it is rather superficial to draw the conclusion that which one is more important. |
