Only Harvard's MBA School has<br /> shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have<br /> seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in<br /> 3<br /> <br /> Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend<br /> of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.<br /> There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first<br /> one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not<br /> guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities.<br /> Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts<br /> degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have<br /> asked the question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good<br /> job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number<br /> of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are<br /> struggling to meet the new demands.<br /> Question 36: What is the main focus of this passage?<br /> A. Jobs on Wall Street<br /> B. Types of graduate degrees<br /> C. Changes in enrollment for MBA schools<br /> D.

Although we usually identify communication<br /> with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.<br /> Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes<br /> apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less<br /> obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people.<br /> Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and<br /> these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.<br /> <br /> 4<br /> <br /> Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and<br /> refined throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching<br /> and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills.<br /> Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at<br /> reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent<br /> reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal<br /> channels of communication do not cease to exist although become entwined in the total<br /> communication process.<br /> Question 43: Through communication, we can NOT________.<br /> A. send messages<br /> B. get information<br /> C. write a speech C. share feelings<br /> Question 44: According to the writer, ________.<br /> A.
