听力原文: There are four types of college degrees, starting with the associate degree. The associate takes about two years to complete when one is enrolled full time. The bachelor's degree takes four years when one is enrolled full time with the master's taking an additional one to two years, and the doctor's three to four years. The associate degree may be substituted for the first two years of a bachelor's degree if it is a transfer degree. Not all associate degrees are designed for transfer. Some are technical degrees which are called terminal degrees, which means they do not count toward a bachelor's. The bachelor's is normally required before one can work at the master's level. Likewise, the master is normally required before one can work at the doctor's level.

When Patrick got to Ray' s office for their appointment, Ray shook hands and greeted him warmly. "So you think you might be interested in sales," said Ray.
"Yes," replied Patrick. "I thought you' d be able to tell me what the work' s really like. "
Ray thought for a moment, "Well, like any job, it has its good points and its bad points. One of the best things about it, though, is the independence. As a sales representative you can set your own schedule and do things your own way. "
"That sounds good," commented Patrick.
"Yeah, it' s nothing like a desk job. There' s a lot of variety in the work—getting out, seeing customers. That' s the positive side. Of course, there are some disadvantages too. Probably the worst thing is that you' re away from home a lot and you get pretty tired of airports, planes and hotels. "
Patrick nodded thoughtfully. "I see what you mean. Also, I think there' d be a lot of pressure involved. "
"There is," said Ray. "If you do well one month, they expect you to do better the next. It never stops. "...
What degree was Patrick about to receive?
A.A master' s degree in business administration.
B.A master' s degree in engineering.
C.A bachelor' s degree in engineering.
D.A doctor's degree in economics.

That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor’s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies, especially, like a background of formal education coupled with work experience.
But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree washes out after five years.
As further evidence of the erosion (销蚀) of corporate (公司的) faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices, although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management. “They want someone who isn’t constrained (限制) by nuts and bolts to look at the big picture, “says Scheetz.
This sounds suspiciously like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts graduate. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems, David Birch claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,” says Birch. Liberal-arts means an academically thorough and strict program that includes literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior—plus a computer course or two. With that under your belt, you can feel free to specialize, “A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,” says Scheetz.
第26题:What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?
A.Students with a bachelor’s degree in humanities.
B.People with an MBA degree front top universities.
C.People with formal schooling plus work experience.
D.People with special training in engineering.

Hawaii
Hawaii’s native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty over its own affairs. But much of the archipelago’s political establishment, which includes the White Americans who dominated until the Second World War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea.
The islands were annexed by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii’s native peoples have fared worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of the state’s homeless, suffer levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians. They are the only major US native group without some degree of autonomy.
But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii’s first native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives’ cause a major boost be recommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whether to re-establish a sovereign Hawaiian nation.
However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want greater autonomy with the state—as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is a position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent to natives’ interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious in the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the US.
But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count as native those people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood.
Native demands are not just based on political grievances, though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares of Hawaiian crown land to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA US $136 million in back rent on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.
Hawaii’s native minority refers to______.
A.people of Filipino origin
B.the Ka Lahui group
C.people with 50% Hawaiian blood
D.Hawaii’s ethnic groups

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 (刹车器,闸). 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 $ 24000. While the full professors managed to earn just $ 23030.
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.
According to the first paragraph, the real reason for people to receive education is that they ______.
A.will earn s lot of money
B.will lead a happy life
C.will become more intelligent
D.can meet the demands of society as a source of manpower
