Summers’ “intrinsic(本身的)difference” theory is biased(偏见)against women. He can’t be president because he has lost the support of many female, and male students.
Summers should have realized the theory was controversial before he opened his mouth. As the leader of perhaps the world’s foremost research university, he should have known his opinions carry weight . If he didn’t realize that ,how could he be a leader of so many elites(精英)?
Judging from what Summers has done over the past five years, he works like a CEO. But university presidents are not corporate CEOs. A CEO has the authority to implement a new agenda by ordering subordinates around-and firing those who resist in a university, bold vision is not enough have to build consensus(共识). Obviously Summers didn’t achieve that.
The turbulent five years reign of Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was brought to a close last week when he said he would resign in three months.
He embattled president was pressured in resignation, after controversy began last January.
Lawrence angered many after stating at an academic conference that “intrinsic difference” between men and women might help explain why fewer women than men reach top-level careers in math and science. Amid international attention, he was accused of discrimination against women.
However ,Summers also served Harvard with extraordinary vision and vitality(活力). He increased access to a Harvard with education with financial aid, boosted science programs ,and diversified the school’s faculty.
The controversy is: Should Summers-a person with bold and sometimes offensive opinions, who at the same time brings something good to Harvard-be fined?
1.In Summers’ opinion, .
A.women are better than men in math and science
B.women are equal to men in math and science
C.fewer women are equal to men in math and science
D.women and men are both good in math and science
2.From the passage, we can infer that .
A.a university president and a CEO have the same authority
B.a university president should have bold vision and the same opinions with others
C.a university president can fire anyone who resists
D.a university president can order his or her subordinates to carry out a new agenda
3.Which of the following words can replace “turbulent” ?
A.confusing B.easy C.peaceful D.confused
4.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Harvard’s President will Step Down
B.Harvard’s President Is Like A CEO
C.Summers Discriminates against Women
