provide the best long-term opportunities, based on salary and employment outlook. to find the mid-career average pay for 35 popular degrees, we turned top, which lets users compare their salaries with those of other people in similar jobs by gathering real-time salary data from its 35 million profiles. we then looked at thebureau of labor statistics employment estimate data to see how fast employment was expected to increase between 2010 and 2020 in popular jobs held by people with each degree. finally we averaged each degrees pay rank and estimated growth rank to find the best and worst masters degrees for jobs.physician assistant degree is at the top of the forbes third-annual look at the best masters degrees for jobs. physician assistants are medical professionals who provide diagnostic and preventative health care services under the guidance of doctors.“both an aging population and health care reform are contributing to a higher demand for health care services,” says katie bardaro, payscales lead economist.they dont earn as much as doctors, but their mid-career average pay is $97,000. another advantage of a physician assistant degree: employment opportunities are expected to grow 30% by 2020 (from the 2010 employment numbers), according to the bureau of labor statistics.by our count, computer science follows close behind as the no. 2 best advanced degree for jobs. mid-career average pay for these grads is $109,000, sixth best out of the 35 degrees in our survey. employment opportunities for computer science degree-holders are expected to expand about 22% between 2010 and 2020. electrical engineering, physics and economics degrees also make the top 10, all with an average mid-career salary of more than $110,000 a year.not all masters degree holders enjoy anywhere near such optimistic job prospects or extraordinary pay. biology, chemistry and history degrees are toward the bottom of the listbut that doesnt mean theyre useless. if youre enthusiastic about these fields, the lower pay and slimmer job prospects shouldnt prevent you from pursuing a masters.before you make a decision, you should bear one thing in mind: masters degree-holders dont necessarily earn more than other people in similar jobsso dont base your decision to pursue one on the idea that youll bring in bigger paychecks.its also important to think about work-life balance and employee satisfaction for the common jobs associated with these degrees. “you need to consider overall happiness,” bardaro says. “if obtaining a masters degree causes an imbalance due to time devoted to education and potentially more stress at work, then one will need to decide if these costs are worth it.”60. physician assistant degree ranks first on the list because _.a. physician assistants are medical professionals.b. physician assistants enjoy the highest pay compared with other grads.c. the qualifications of physician assistants are not second to those of doctors.d. the demand of physician assistants is expected to expand largely and they are well-paid.61. what can be inferred from the passage?a. $100,000 or so is a satisfying pay for most of the grads.b. it is the first time that forbes has done a survey of this kind.c. biology degrees were once hot for those masters degree pursuers.d. doctors earn more than those in electrical engineering on the average.62. according to what bardaro said in the last paragraph, we may safely conclude that _.a. obtaining a masters degree is a mustb. a masters degree is not always worth pursuingc. obtaining a masters degree leads to an imbalance between work and lifed. those with masters degrees are bound to earn more than other people in similar jobsc while jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor (监控器) a few hundred miles away was watching her every move. using a web camera equipped in jennifers los angeles apartment, the monitor in phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. her internet access was lockedremotelyto prevent internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? or was she slowing down? in the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. the technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid that students havent just searched the internet to get the right answers. although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses.” private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance. aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. among them are programs that check students identities using personal information, such as the telephone number they once used. other programs can produce unique exam by drawing on a range list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. as in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large internet data banks for cheating.63. the underlined expression “cutting edge” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _. a. advanced technique b. sharpening tool c. effective ruled. dividing line64. for internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if _. a. they can attract potential students b. they can defeat academic cheating c. they offer students online help d. they offer many online courses65. some programs can find out possible cheaters by _. a. checking the question answering speed b. producing a large number of questions c. scanning the internet test question d. giving difficult test question66. which of the following is the best title of this passage? a. the advantages of online exams b. the high-tech methods in online courses c. the fight against cheating in online education d. the war against the booming of online educationdan alcohol breath test (abt) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving. in the united states, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged 21 years or older, while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body. a positive test result, a result over the legal limit, allows the police to arrest the driver. however, many
