III. Reading Comprehension 
(A)Contemporary civilization has reached a turning point, summed up in the stark question:Can humanity survive? The threat to peace posed by the arms race and a blind faith in theinevitability of progress seem to be propelling humanity on a veritable death march. Whatcan we do to enable humankind to survive? Enlightened scholars now debate this issuepassionately.    I wish to urge that what we need in such times as these is a true restoration of humanity.The revival or restoration I have in mind must enable human beings to live in harmony withall of our fellow living creatures. People must cease being the servants of machines andbecome once more masters of our own technological creations. The renaissance I have inmind would help us find a way to achieve this.     The renaissance must begin with a revival in the fields of philosophy and learning. Ifhumanity can rouse and sate a new enthusiasm for learning and the pursuit of truth, if we canturn our wide-open eyes to the future, I am certain that the kind of philosophy needed toenable human survival will be elucidated and established. Such a philosophy will not onlycontribute to the survival of humanity--the first sine qua non of education--but will alsounderpin a new civilization that will truely celebrate humanity.    The task of creating such a university which can contribute in a meaningful way to theattainment of the enormous goal is clearly not an easy one. It demands perseverance as wellas repeated, rigorous debate and sustained determination. Results may not be immediatelyapparent. But if all the people associated with this university now and in the future--comparable sharing the same aspiration--can develop an organic collaborative unity, evensuch great dreams can be achieved. Please enjoy a rich, full student life, not only asrepresentatives of this institution but also its proud founders and constructors. Let yourexperiences here serve as a springboard to a fulfilled and satisfying life after graduation.    From the bottom of my heart, I ask the members of the faculty to do all within theirpower to help our students grow into fine human beings. I shall conclude my remarks byexpressing my hope for and pride in the part the university will play in the future ofhumanity.
