4、y people leaving business school now are not only failing to change their careers, they are crawling back to their old jobs with their old employers. The odd thing all is that all MBAs still claim the experience was worth it. If you read related blogs you will see every single MBA is breathless with
5、 admiration for MBA courses. YOUR ADVICE Go for it! Taking a top-tier MBA course exposes you to some of the smartest, most confident, most competitive and arrogant people you will ever meet. 3 It has provided me with a framework for flexibility in my career, the tools to keep learning and the confid
6、ence to conduce myself in any situation. Oh yeah, I paid off my student loan and my husband“s student loans (way more than 45,000) in three years. Trader, female, 41Stay in the job Forget it, sweetie. A job in the hand is worth 15 MBAs in the bush these days. In addition, you are probably a woman in

10、seeing trip to Washington DC. I saw many of our nation“s treasures, and I also saw a lot of our fellow citizens on the street-unfortunate ones, like panhandlers and homeless folks. I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. 6 In a reflex action, I reached into my pocket, p
11、ulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. The blind woman smiled and said, “I don“t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.“ In an instant, I realized what I had done. 7 I had acted with pre
12、judice-I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident re-awakened my core belief. It reaffirmed that I believe in humility, even though I“d lost it for a moment. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Hon
13、duras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, no-nonsense mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, roofer, cashier, mechanic, pizza delivery driver and many other humble jobs, and eventually I became a network
14、 engineer. In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember the time, when I was 17 and working as a busboy, 8 I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. 9 I have also witnessed the same behavior to my family and frie
15、nds, so I know what it“s like, and I should have known better. 10 But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets of Washington DC, cured
16、me of my self-induced blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady find the post office, and in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for a priceless lesson.（分数：10.00）_Translate the underlined sentences of the followi
17、ng passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. It is no coincidence that the development of the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change. 11 China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of povertyan accomplishment unparalleled
18、 in human historywhile playing a larger role in global events. The United States has seen our economy improve along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while the Cold War was brought to a successful conclusion. 12 There is a Chinese proverb, “Consider the past, and you shall know the
19、future.“ Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years. Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty. But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined-not when we consider the past. Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States an
20、d China are more prosperous and more secure. We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect. However, the success of that engagement depends upon understanding, on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from o
21、ne another. 13 Just as the American table tennis player, Forrest Gump, pointed out-we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways. I believe that each country must chart its own course. 14 China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture. The United
22、States by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy. In addition to your growing economy, we admire China“s extraordinary commitment to science and researcha commitme
23、nt borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use. China is now the world“s largest Internet userwhich is why we were so pleased to include the Internet as a part of today“s event. This country, now has the world“s largest mobile phone network, and it is investin
24、g in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change. I“m looking forward to deepening the partnership between the United States and China in this critical area tomorrow. 15 However, above all, I see China“s future in youyoung people whose talent, dedication and dreams
25、 will do so much to help shape the 21st century.（分数：10.00）_Translate the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Humans have lost the evolutionary race. We are born without wings. It“s a crucial omission and we are making the env
26、ironment pay for it. We like to think we“re the bee“s knees of the natural world but we“re nothing more than bumbling flatfoots. That“s why kookaburras laugh and midges torment us. We are grounded for life and, in our frustration, we“re wrecking the planet. Wings might seem just fun and frippery, bu
27、t they would also save the environment. If we could fly, we would not be trampling ecosystems underfoot. Natural habitats that now get bulldozed would flourish because we wouldn“t need roads. There would be no demand for cars, so there wouldn“t be emissions problems. The common housefly travels 300
28、times its body length in one second. 16 If in a few generations we could match that, we would reach 2,000 kilometres per hour, which would make ozone-de-stroying aircraft and land-grabbing airports unnecessary: Society would benefit enormously if we could fly. Our philosophy about the private owners
29、hip of land would have to change because fences would become useless. 17 Nets wouldn“t stop people flying into your gardenas anyone knows who has tried in vain to keep birds out of fruit crops. And domestic rooftops would become public resting places. The justice system would not need to guard expen
30、sive prisons because felons would simply have their wings clipped. Sports stadia would consist of only the pitch, with spectators hovering over the action. Stairs escalators and lifts would be as superfluous as bridges and tunnels. Buildings would have smaller ground plans and, instead, rise upwards
31、, with entrance porches on every level. 18 If we had wings, not only would we not need to plunder so much of the Earth“s resources, but we“d also be better guardians of the environment. Woodland would not be cut down because trees would be vital resting places as we flitted through the troposphere.
32、We“d be more aware of the changes to Earth as we survived it daily from on high. And we“d soon appreciate any changes to air quality at all heights. There would be some drawbacks. 19 Clothing would have to be tight and aerodynamicbut our perception of human beauty would soon change so that we“d deli
33、ght at a glimpse of wings with colorful feathers. Demand for the best addresses would push the prices of mountain eyries skyhigh. Electricity pylons and overhead cables would have to go. There would, inevitably, be the occasional crash landing in rush hour as soaring commuters got spun by the wing-t
34、ip vortices of others. But it would be worth these minor hassles. The dinosaurs clearly recognised, the merits of wings, and went so far as to evolve into birds. That left us to inherit the Earthan inheritance we seem determined to fritter away. Humans clearly have an intuitive inkling of the need t
35、o fly. It comes up again and again, in nursery tales and sophisticated mythology from all over the world. If we had evolved wings, the world would have been blessed. 20 For the sake of the planet, biologists should stop growing ears on the backs of mice and start putting feathers between our shoulde
