　　54. In order to become well-rounded individuals, all college students should be required to take courses in which they read poetry, novels, mythology, and other types of imaginative literature.

　　Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.

　　培养想象力：(想象力对于自然科学的意义Kekule)

　　培养人文精神：(人文精神对于各领域的作用+imaginative literature为什么包含了大量的人文精神的素材)小说、科幻中经常包含对于社会问题的反思和对人性恶的揭露

　　转折：培养想象力(扯淡;科学的想象力和文学作品的想象力没有直接关系。而且，科学的关键不在于想象，而在于证明：凯库勒)

　　人文精神的培养有其它途径 (literary study, news, politics, philosophy)
