The reason? A level exam results, the narrow gate that has to be passed through in order to gain admittance to that most sacred of educational institutions, university. Bitter are the tears that are shed should the miserable student fail to gain the grades required, a university degree being the essential requirement for the successful career that most people aspire to.Or so the education world would have us believe. But is it really true? The fact is there are plenty of individuals who have achieved great success without ever going to university. (2) Richard Branson, one of Britains most successful entrepreneurs, is a well-known example of someone who never had any intention of doing so. At the tender age of 16, while still at school, Branson started a student magazine which made him a handsome profit. (3) At 20, while many of his peers were in their second year at university, Branson founded a mail-order retail record company and soon afterwards opened a record shop. At 22, when others of the same age were starting their first job, Branson had started a record company and by 30 he was the CPO of one of the worlds top six record companies.Taking another example from a very different sphere, John Major, British Prime Minister from 1990 to 1997, left school at 16 with only three exam qualifications. He was then turned down when he applied for a job as a bus conductor! (4) After a variety of low-paid jobs, Major took a correspondence course in banking at which he showed such aptitude that he was taken on at a bank as an executive and was quickly promoted. Interested in politics from an early age, by the age of 21 Major was professionally involved and was elected to Parliament at the very young age of 28.What both these very different men have in common is a passionate interest from a young age in a particular area of activity. In Bransons case it was the business of making money while with Major it was politics. Both men had the ambition, energy, brains and talent to achieve their dreams and they did not need a university degree in order to do so. (5) The message is clear while a good university degree is undoubtedly helpful in ones career there is no need to despair should you fail to get in. Instead, work hard and follow your dream!1 _2 _3 _4 _5 _Reading comprehension (Skimming and scanning)1 In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions.

The state protects womens equal right with men to work, eliminates sexual discrimination in employment, adopts the principle of equal pay for equal work for both sexes, and guarantees special labour protection for women employees during menstruation, pregnancy, confinement and nursing.In May 2001, the Chinese government promulgated The Programme for the Development of Chinese Women (20012010) , which set the goal of promoting womens employment. With the countrys sustained, rapid economic growth, and the development of industries and trades suitable for womens employment, the female population in employment has continuously grown, and the fields of employment for them have kept expanding. The female population in employment in Chinas urban and rural areas increased from 291 million in 1990 to 337 million in 2003.Today, there are 41.56 million women employees in urban units, accounting for 38 per cent of the total employees in urban units. As the Chinese government pushes ahead with the reform of the economic system and the readjustment of the economic structure, a number of women workers have been laid off. To support the reemployment of laid-off women, especially older women, governments at all levels have actively developed and expanded trades and fields suitable for women to work in, and have adopted more flexible forms of employment to provide them with job opportunities according to their needs.Government-run public job agencies provide laid-off and unemployed women gratis with consultancy on policy matters, job vacancy information, vocational guidance and job referral services, and actively carry out vocational skill training for them. From 1998 to 2003, of a total of 13.36 million laid-off and unemployed women, 9.72 million started their own businesses or found new jobs.The government supports womens federations in their work of helping women to start their own businesses or get reemployed. From 1998 to 2003, womens federations at various levels held training sessions for 5.8 million laid-off or unemployed women, and directly helped 2.5 million women to find new jobs. The government has established a maternity insurance scheme, with the premiums paid for by enterprises, instead of individual employees. This has created a favourable environment for women to participate equally in competition for employment.Promoting the employment of young peopleChina has a large young population. Every year, a million-strong new workforce arises, making young peoples employment an increasingly striking problem. Of the registered unemployed people in urban areas, around 70 per cent are under the age of 35. To reduce the employment pressure on society, and improve young workers skills and overall quality, the Chinese government provides one to three years of work preparation for all junior and senior middle school graduates who have failed to enter schools at higher levels.Vocational guidance is offered in various secondary vocational schools as a required course. At the same time, with a view to promoting full employment for graduates, much has been done to provide them with vocational guidance, employment services and education in starting businesses.To solve the employment problem of graduates from institutions of higher learning, the Chinese government has adopted measures to promote their employment. These mainly include: in pursuance of the reform oriented towards market guidance, government regulation, school recommendation, and the two-way choice of students and employers, to encourage graduates from institutions of higher learning to go and work at grassroots levels and in areas with tough conditions to strengthen urban communities and rural townships; to urge enterprises and institutions, especially small and medium enterprises and private enterprises and institutions, to hire graduates from institutions of higher learning; to encourage graduates from institutions of higher learning to start their own businesses or to get employment in a flexible way, while offering them tax breaks, small loans and training in starting businesses; to establish and improve employment information networks for graduates from institutions of higher learning and to do a better job in employment guidance and services.Meanwhile, guidance is given to institutions of higher learning to readjust their structure of specialties and structure of talent training according to market demand. In 2003, the government launched the project of vocational qualification training for graduates from higher vocational institutions, and pooled quality resources of vocational skill training to provide training and services for graduates from such institutions who have not yet found jobs, thus creating the conditions for the graduates to find employment by themselves.In Shanghai and some other places, a youth probation programme (青年见习计划) has been implemented, and in line with the principle of government compensation, public assistance and voluntary participation by enterprises, probation bases for graduates from institutions of higher learning are established in enterprises with the necessary conditions, and graduates who have not found jobs are organized to improve their abilities in practice and enhance their adaptability to their future jobs.Helping disabled people to find employmentThere are 60 million disabled people in China, accounting for about 5 per cent of its total population. Among them 24 million are of working age. Since the reform and opening-up started over 20 years ago, China has brought into full play the guiding role of the government and general public in promoting the employment of disabled people, and made great efforts to create a fa
