MBAs no longer valued
MBA缘何遇冷?
导读：对于很多人来说，MBA工商管理学硕士学位(Master of Business Administration)往往代表着一把打开成功大门的钥匙，然而近年来，越来越多的人开始对于MBA热潮进行了思考。
Pursuing an MBA degree is the ambition of many young white-collar workers who graduated from university a few years before. They’ve accumulated some professional experience and saved a bit of money – prerequisites for most MBA programs.
对于那些已经大学毕业数年的年轻白领们来说，攻读工商管理学硕士学位(简称：MBA)是他们的理想。他们已经积累了一些专业领域的工作经验，也存下了一小笔积蓄——这两者都是攻读MBA的先决条件。
An MBA degree is a good springboard for those who want to switch to another career or climb to a higher position. The learning experience can be rewarding and practical.
对于那些想要转行或者升职的人而言，MBA是块好跳板。这段学习经历兼具可回报性和实用性。
That’s because MBA programs develop employees’ management skills, while also teaching them basic or even advanced accounting, finance and marketing.
这是因为MBA课程着重培养从业人员的管理技能，同时也向他们传授基础、甚至是高级的财会、金融以及营销方面的知识。
However, before candidates jump into such a program, they should consider a number of points.
然而，在申请MBA课程前，你应该注意以下几点：
Recently, in an article titled “If you can’t get into a top-five MBA program, don’t even bother” on QZ.com, Jay Bhatti, an investor and advisor to startups in New York City, explained his view on MBA programs.

去年，你将大把的时间和金钱都花在了网购上，但却从未留意过这两项的付出。
That’s why when you received you annual statement from Alipay, the Chinese third-party online payment platform, you probably got anasty surprise.
这就是为何当你收到第三方支付平台“支付宝”的年度账单时，会感到有惊无喜的原因了。
The annual statement, which shows consumers’ personal spending and online payment patterns, caused a stir when it was released by Alipay on Jan 15. Many micro-bloggers shared how much money they spend shopping online, mostly on Taobao, and how they felt after discovering the extent of their consumption.

支付宝于1月15日发布了个人年度账单，列出了用户的个人开销以及在线支付方式，这随即引起轰动。微博上人们(其中大部分为“淘宝控”)纷纷晒出网购账单以及看到自己消费额后的感想。正如你所料，多数人都被自己的账单雷到了。
Chen Si, 23, a senior in Literature of Film and TV at Shandong University of Arts, put a stamp “Can’t bear to look at it” on her statement.
山东艺术学院戏剧影视文学专业大四学生、23岁的陈思(音译)在自己的账单上打上了“无法直视”的标签。

邵露慰系上围裙，将鱿鱼去皮、去内脏。不到三分钟，她便娴熟地备好了一整盘鱿鱼，之后她将鱿鱼切片，倒入热油锅中。
It’s hard to imagine that such a skillful and flowing movement comes from a 22-year-old graduate. The accounting major from Yangzhou University has devoted herself to the homemaking industry, which is regarded by many as a promising but also challenging business.
很难想象一位22岁的大学毕业生竟能如此娴熟、流畅地完成每一道工序。这位来自扬州大学会计专业的学生投身家政事业，在许多人眼里，这是一个充满挑战的朝阳产业。

Passage 1
Directions: For question 1—5, choose the most suitable paragraphs from the list A—G and fill them into the numbered boxes to form a coherent text. Paragraphs A and D have been correctly placed.
[A] Subscription has proved by far the best way of paying for highquality television. Advertising veers up and down with the economic cycle, and can be skipped by using digital video recorders. And any outfit that depends on advertising is liable to worry more about offending advertisers than about pleasing viewers. Voluntary subscription is also preferable to the compulsory, universal variety that pays for the BBC and other European public broadcasters. A broadcaster supported by a tax on everyone must try to please everyone. And a government can starve public broadcasters of money, too—as the BBC is painfully learning.
[B] What began as an interesting experiment has become the standard way of supporting highquality programming. Most of the great television dramas that are watched in America and around the world appear first on payTV channels. Having shown others how to make gangster dramas with “The Sopranos”, HBO is laying down the standard for fantasy with “Game of Thrones”. Other payTV channels have delved into 1960s advertising (“Mad Men”), drug dealing (“Breaking Bad”) and Renaissance court society (“The Borgias”). PayTV firms outside America, like Britains B...

How Can a Parent Help?
Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. Even if a job’s starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult’s need for rapid content, the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures, drawn from my book Ready or Not, Here Life Comes, that parents can take to prevent what I call “work-life unreadiness.”

You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Periodically review their emerging strengths and we...

Scholars, writers and teachers in the modern academic community have strong feelings about acknowledging the use of another person's ideas. In the English-speaking world, the term plagiarism is used to label the practice of not giving credit for the source of one's ideas. Simply stated, plagiarism is "the wrongful appropriation or purloining, and publication as one's own of the ideas, or the expression of ideas of another."

For thousands of Canadians, bad service is neither make-believe nor amusing. It is an aggravating and worsening real-life phenomenon that encompasses behavior ranging from indifference and rudeness to naked hostility and even physical violence. Across the country, better business bureaus report a lengthening litany of complaints about contractors, car dealers, and repair shops, moving companies, airlines and department stores. There is almost an adversarial feeling between businesses and consumers.
Experts say there are several explanations for ill feeling in the marketplace. One is that customer service was an early and inevitable casualty when retailers responded to brutal competition by replacing employees with technology such as 1～800 numbers and voice mail. Another factor is that business generally has begun placing more emphasis on getting customers than on keeping them. Still another is that strident, frustrated and impatient shoppers vex shop owners and make them even less hospitable —especially at busier times of the year like Christmas. On both sides, simple courtesy has gone by the board. And for a multitude of consumers, service went with it.
The Better Business Bureau at Vancouver gets 250 complaints a week, twice as many as five years ago. The bureau then had one complaints counselor and now has four. People complain about being insulted, having their intelligen...
