After twenty years 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 enrollment 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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

The main cause of tooth decay is acid, which is produced by bacteria in the mouth The acid removes minerals from tooth enamel, allowing tooth decay to begin; the saliva in your mouth encourages remineralization and neutralizes the acid The rate at which bacteria in the mouth produce acid depends

on the amount of plaque on the teeth, the composition of the microbial flora, and whether the bacteria of the plaque have been “primed” by frequent exposure to sugar To keep your teeth healthy, a regular dental hygiene program should be followed

Removing plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss temporarily reduces the numbers of bacteria in

the mouth and thus reduces tooth decay It also makes the surfaces of the teeth more accessible, enabling

saliva to neutralize acid and remineralize lesions If fluoride is present in drinking water when teeth are forming, some fluoride is incorporated into the enamel of the teeth, making them more resistant to attack

by acid Fluoride toothpaste seems to act in another way, by promoting the remineralization of early carious lesions

In addition to a regular dental hygiene program, a good way to keep your teeth healthy is to reduce your intake of sweet food The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals and not between The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount determines how much harmful acid the bacteria in your saliva produce But the amount of sweets influences the quality of your saliva Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mouth a long time Also try to brush and floss your teeth after eating sugary foods Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective Whenever possible, eat foods

with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks, apples, celery sticks, etc., that scrape off plaque, acting as a

toothbrush Cavities can be greatly reduced if these rules are followed when eating sweets

Question 37 We can infer from the passage that one benefit of fluoride to healthy teeth is _

A It strengthens tooth enamel

B It stimulates saliva production

C It makes teeth whiter

D It is a replacement for brushing and flossing in dental care
