After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business
schools in the United States have started to face harder times Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollments in recent years Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000,
and the trend of lower-enrollment rates is expected to continue
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree The
first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American Cities Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees Students have asked the question "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered Business needs are changing, and
MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands

7 Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?

is an example at the beginning(0)
Carnival is definitely not a spectator sport It’s very difficult to get carried away by the
atmosphere unless (0) _G _ and by that I mean wearing a disguise of some kind, even if
it’s nothing more than a mask or a funny hat In fact, the number of people (1) _ is usually fairly small, so you will almost certainly be conspicious out of fancy dress You are bound to regret not having gone to a bit of trouble when (2) _ having the time of their lives Ask a friend to lend you a costume if (3) _ You may even find that (4) _ If all else fails, you can always improvise with old streets and clothes, after all, you don’t have

G you are taking part yourself
IV Fill in each numbered space with one suitable word
I’d like to talk about some of the problems that students face (1) _ they follow a course of study through the medium of English (2) _ English is not their mother tongue The problems can be (3) _ into three broad categories: psychological, cultural and linguistic The first two categories mainly affect those (4) come to study in Britain I’ll comment only briefly on these two categories and then spend most of the time looking at linguistic difficulties apply to everyone Some of the common psychological problems really involve fear of the unknown: for (5) , whether one’s academic studies will be too difficult Looking at the cultural problems, we can see that some of them are of a very practical nature, e.g arranging satisfactory accommodation Others are less easy to define (6) largest category seems to be linguistic Let’s look at this (7) some detail Most students, in their (8) countries, will have little opportunity to practise using (9) When foreign learners first have the opportunity to speak to an English-speaking person they may have a shock: they often have great (10) _
