When your parents advise you to “ get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society. Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school. Get a college degree, if possible. With a B.A. , you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A. , and is famous. Law of diminishing returns begins to take effect. Do you know, for instance, that long haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was 24， 000. While the full professors managed to earn just 23， 030. A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world. If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or worst of all in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands. Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns. You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you. 21. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who _. A. will not be a disgrace to society B. will become loyal citizens C. can take care of themselves D. can meet the nation s demands as a source of manpower 22. Many Ph.D.s are out of job because _. A. they are improperly educated B. they are of little commercial value to their society C. there are fewer jobs in high schools D. they prefer easier jobs that make more money 23. The nation is only interested in people _. A. with diplomas B. who specialize in physics and chemistry C. who are valuable to the gross national product D. both A and C 24. Which of the following is not true? A. Bernard Shaw didn t finish high schools,nor did Edison. B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master s degree. C. The higher your education level,the more money you will earn. D. If you are too well educated,you ll be overeducated for society s demands. 25. The writer sees education as _. A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country s demands for technical workers B. a way to broaden one s horizons C. more important than finding a job D. an opportunity that everyone should have Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. What are the specific traits that will assist executives to climb the ladder of success? Opinions vary widely. Given approximately equal qualifications and circumstances, some claim the success factor is largely a matter of luck being in the right place at the right time. Others speak of an almost crazy devotion to work, combined with a degree of ruthlessness. One “expert” maintains that its undoubtedly a matter of how much education your mother had. To make it big, executives must possess four basic skills: First, drive. Business success takes an unusual amount of energy. A successful executivealmost by definition is a striver. He will get tense when he is not striving. Second, people sense. Some say being able to judge people is more important than a high IQ. The skill can be instinctual (本能的 ), but in most cases it is painstakingly learned. Third, communications ability. Different executives make themselves understood in different ways. Some transmit ideas best face to face； others are masters of the telephone call； still others are persuasive writers. One way or another, they all communicate clearly. Fourth, calm under pressure. No businessman will get very far if he chokes up. 26. Some people claim that besides hard work,the success also requires _. A. equal qualifications B. specific traits C. much education D. a degree of cruelty 27. According to the passage,a high IQ is _. A. instinctual B. painstakingly learnt C. inborn D. more trivial than people sense 28. The successful executives must _. A. transmit ideas face to face B. depend on telephones C. be persuasive writers D. express themselves distinctly 29. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Every businessman possesses these four skills. B. When a striver stops his devotion to work,he will feel quite at ease. C. These basic skills are not instinctual at all. D. Mother s education has undoubted effect on her child s success. 30. What s the main idea of the passage? A. Four skills for successful executives. B. Some opinions about the success. C. Specific traits for successful executives. D. Qualifications and circumstances for climbing the ladder. Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we cant remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it. 31. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _. A. they regard working as their greatest enjoyment B. they believe that work is superior to relaxation C. they are traveling fast all the time D. they are becoming busier with their work than even before 32. According to the author,the most important character for a good manager is his _. A. unyielding will to hold out stress B. knowing the art of relaxation C. high sense of responsibility D. having control over performance 33. Which of the following statements is TRUE,according to the passage? A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress. B. Stress is always harmful to people s health. C. It s easy to change the habit of k
