Graduating them is another matter. Bill Mills, th
2、e president of Bowdoin Colledge, was justifiably proud of Bowdoins efforts to recruit minority students. Since 2003 the small, elite liberal arts school in Brunswick, Maine, has boosted the proportion of so-called under-represented minority students in entering freshman classes from 8% to 13%. “It i
3、s our responsibility to reach out and attract students to come to our kinds of places,”he told a NEWSWEEK reporter. But Bowdion has not done quite as well when it comes to actually graduating minorities. While 9 out of 10 black students routinely get their diplomas within six years, only 7 out of 10
4、 black students made it to graduation day in several recent classes. “If you look at who enters college, it now looks like America,” says Hilary Pennington, director of postsecondary programs for the Billone last edit and its finished. Enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a m
5、ore-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: “No! Its done!” What do you do? The first rule of saying no to the boss is dont say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and its up to you to find out what. The secon
6、d rule is dont raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The bosss suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequenses. She might not know about the pages backing up that need attentio
7、n, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell her she can have what she wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what shes trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what youve done so far. Here is another case. Your least-favorite reporter
8、suggests a dumb story idea. This one should be easy, but its not. If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter,but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story sugg
9、estions. Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are preposed and reviewed.Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your gut reaction (本能反应) and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as syste
10、matic or fair. Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a “What if?” agreement covering “What if my idea is turned town?” How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process？Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? By anticipating “What if?” situations before they happen, you can

At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks theyre bad. Yet the con
14、sensus among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a di
15、screpancy between the perception of immigrants impact on the economy and the reality? There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the train that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like sc
16、hools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race,arguing that foreigners add to the nations fears and insecurities. Theres some truth to all these explanations, but they arent quite sufficient. To get a better understanding of whats going on, consider the way immigrations impact
17、is felt.Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card,an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrantslow-cost labor are businesses and employersmeatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricult
18、ural businesses in California. Granted, these producers savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers
19、suffer most from the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration reduced the wages of American high school dropouts by 9% between 1980-2000. Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both
20、high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the fiscal (财政的) burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that fiscal burden decreased, as occurred with welf
21、are reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants access to certain benefits. The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affectedsay, low-skilled workers, or California residentsthe impact isnt all the dramatic. “the unpleas
22、ant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions,“ says Daniel Tichenor, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. “But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one.“ Too bad most people dont rea

28、om it.C.People are making too big a fuss about something of small impact.D.There is no essential difference between seemingly opposite opinionsPassage Two Questions 57 to 62 are based on the following passage. Picture a typical MBA lecture theatre twenty years ago. In it the majority of students wil
29、l have conformed to the standard model of the time: male, middle class and Western. Walk into a class today, however, and youll get a completely different impression. For a start, you will now see plenty more womenthe University of Pennsylvanias Wharton School, for example, boasts that 40% of its ne
30、w enrolment is female, you will also see a wide range of ethnic groups and nationals of practically every country. It might be tempting, therefore, to think that the old barriers have been broken down and equal opportunity achieved. But, increasingly, this apparent diversity is becoming a mask for a
31、 new type of conformity. Behind the differences in sex, skin tomes and mother tongues, there are common attitudes, expectations and ambitions which risk creating a set of clones among the business leaders of the future. Diversity, it seems, has not helped to address fundamental weaknesses in busines
32、s leadership.So, what can be done to create more effective managers of the commercial world? According to Valerie Gauthier, associate dean at HEC Paris, the key lies in the process by which MBA programmes recruit their students. At eh moment candidates are selected on a fairly narrow set of criteria
33、 such as prior academic and career performance, and analytical and problem solving abilities.This is then coupled to a schools mixture of what a diverse class should look like, with the result that passport, ethnic origin and sex can all become influencing factors. But schools rarely dig down to att
34、itude and approacharguably the only diversity that, in a business context really matters. Professor Gauthier believes schools should not just be selecting candidates from traditional sectors such as banking, consultancy and industry. They should also be seeking individuals who have backgrounds in ar
35、eas such as political science, the creative arts, history or philosophy, which will allow them to put business decisions into a wider context. Indeed, there does seem to be a demand for the more rounded leaders such diversity might create. A study by Mannaz, a leadership development company, suggest
36、s that, while the bully-boy chief executive of old may not have been eradicated completely, there is a definite shift in emphasis towards less tough styles of managementat least in America and Europe. Perhaps most significant,according to Mannaz, is the increasing interest large companies have in mo

45、正确答案：(My opinion on certificate craze The growing tendency among college students to get all kinds of certificates has now evolved into a craze. Just randomly ask a student what he or she is busily engaged in doing, quite possibly, you would get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certifica
46、te of some kind. So, whys the craze? The reason behind this phenomenon is common the enormous pressure of finding a job. Faced with a harsh job market, most students have no choice but to seek more certificates to parlay their qualifications. Another factor is that diploma and certificates still wei
47、ghs heavily in terms of signifying ones ability. For the sake of increasing their odds of landing a better job, the students are compelled to run from one exam to another。 Though I have an open mind toward the craze on certificates, I suggest that students should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since they do not necessarily tell their
