Minority Report
American universities areaccepting more minorities thanever. Graduating themis another
matter.
Barry Mills,thepresident ofBowdoin College, was justifiably proud of Bowdoin's efforts to
recruit minoritystudents. Since2003the small,elite liberal arts school inBrunswick, Maine, has
boosted theproportion ofso-called under-represented minoritystudents in entering freshman
classes from 8%to 13%. "It isour responsibilitytoreach out and attract students to cometo our
kinds ofplaces," hetold aNEWSWEEKreporter. But Bowdoin has not donequiteas well when it
comes toactually graduating minorities. While 9outof10white studentsroutinely get their
diplomas within sixyears, only 7out of10black students made itto graduation day in several
recent classes.
"If you look at who enters college, it nowlookslikeAmerica," says Hilary Pennington,
director of postsecondary programs for theBill & MelindaGates Foundation, which has closely
studied enrollment patterns in higher education. "But ifyou look at who walks across thestage for a
diploma, it's stilllargely thewhite, upper-income population."
TheUnited States once had thehighest graduation rate ofany nation.Now itstands 10th. For
the firsttimein American history, there is therisk that therising generation willbe less well
1/21淘宝店铺：行知小课堂
educated than theprevious one. Thegraduation rate among 25-to 34-year-olds is nobetter than the
rate for the55-to 64-year-olds who were going to college more than30years ago. Studies show
that more and morepoor and non-white studentswant to graduate from college – buttheir
graduation rates fall far short oftheir dreams. The graduation rates for blacks, Latinos, and Native
Americans lag far behind thegraduation rates for whites and Asians. As theminoritypopulation
grows in theUnited States, lowcollegegraduation rates become athreat to national prosperity.
Theproblem is pronounced at publicuniversities.In 2007theUniversity of
Wisconsin-Madison –one ofthetop five orsoprestigious publicuniversities –graduated 81%ofits
white studentswithin six years, but only 56%ofits blacks. At less-selective stateschools, the
numbers get worse. During thesame timeframe, theUniversity ofNorthern Iowa graduated 67%of
its whitestudents, but only39%of itsblacks. Community colleges have lowgraduation rates
generally – but rock-bottom rates for minorities. Arecent review ofCaliforniacommunity colleges
found that while athird oftheAsian studentspicked uptheirdegrees, only 15% of
African-Americans did so as well.
Privatecolleges and universities generally dobetter, partly becausethey offer smallerclasses
and morepersonal attention. But when itcomes to asignificant graduation gap, Bowdoin has
company. Nearby ColbyCollege logged an 18-point difference between white and black graduates
in 2007and 25pointsin 2006.Middlebury College inVermont, another top school, hada 19-point
gap in 2007and a22-point gap in2006.The mostselective private schools – Harvard, Yale, and
Princeton – show almostnogap between black and whitegraduation rates. But that may havemore
to dowith theirability to select thebest students. According todata gathered byHarvard Law
School professor Lain Gainer, the mostselective schools are more likelyto choose blacks who have
at least oneimmigrant parent from Africa or theCaribbean than black students whoare descendants
ofAmerican slaves.
"Highereducation has been able toduck this issueforyears, particularly themoreselective
schools, bysaying theresponsibility is on theindividualstudent," says Pennington oftheGates
Foundation. "If they fail, it's theirfault." Somecritics blame affirmativeaction – students admitted
with lower test scores and grades from shaky high schools often struggle at eliteschools. But a
bigger problem maybethat poor high schools often send theirstudents to colleges forwhich they
are "under matched": they could get intomore elite, richer schools, but instead go to community
colleges and low-rated state schools that lack the resources to help them. Someschools outfor
profit cynically increasetuitions andcount onstudent loans and federal aid to foot thebill–
knowing full well that thestudents won't make it."The school keeps themoney, butthe kidleaves
with loads of debt and nodegree and noabilityto get a betterjob. Colleges are not holdinguptheir
end," says Amy Wilkinsof theEducation Trust.
Acollege education isgetting ever moreexpensive. Since1982tuitionshave been rising at
roughly twice therate ofinflation. In 2008the net cost ofattending afour-year publicuniversity –
after financial aid – equaled 28% ofmedian(中间的)family income, whilea four-year private
university cost 76% ofmedian family income. Moreand more scholarships are based onmerit, not
need. Poorerstudents are not always thebest-informed consumers. Often they wind updeeply in
debt orsimplyunable topay after ayear or two and mustdrop out.
There once was a timewhen universities took pridein theirdropout rates. Professors would
begin theyear bysaying, "Look to theright and lookto theleft. Oneof you isnot going to behere
bythe end oftheyear." But such aDarwinian spirit is beginning togive way as at least afew
colleges faceupto thegraduation gap.At theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison, thegaphas been
roughly halved overthe last threeyears. Theuniversity has poured resources into peer counseling to
help studentsfrom inner-city schools adjust to therigor(严格要求)and faster pace of auniversity
classroom –and also to helpminoritystudents overcome thestereotypethat they are less qualified.

Wisconsin has a"laser likefocus" onbuildingupstudent skillsin thefirst threemonths, according
to vice provost(教务长)Damon Williams.
Stateand federal governments could sharpen that focus everywhere bybroadly publishing
minority graduation rates. For years private colleges such as Princeton and MIT have had success
bringing minorities onto campus inthesummerbefore freshman year togive them someprepare
Tory courses. Thenewer trend isto start recruiting poorand non-whitestudents as early as the
seventh grade, using innovativetoolsto identify kids withsophisticated verbal skills. Such
programs can beexpensive, ofcourse, but cheapcompared with themillions already invested in
scholarships and grants for kids who have littlechancetograduatewithout special support.
With effort andmoney, thegraduation gap canbe closed. Washington and Lee isa small,
selective school in Lexington, Va. Its studentbodyis less than5% black and less than 2%Latino.
While theschool usually graduated about 90%of itswhites, the graduation rate ofits blacks and
Latinos had dipped to 63%by2007."We went through adramatic shift," says Dawn Watkins,the
vice president for student affairs. The school aggressively pushedmentoring(辅导) ofminoritiesby
other studentsand "partnering" with parents at aspecial pre-enrollment session. The school had its
first-ever black homecoming. Last spring theschool graduated thesame proportion ofminorities as
it did whites. If theUnited States wants tokeep upin theglobal economic race, itwillhave to pay
systematic attentionto graduating minorities, not justenrolling them.

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
Section A
Directions:In this section, thereis ashort passagewith5questions or incomplete statements. Read
the passagecarefully. Then answer thequestions or complete thestatements inthe
fewest possiblewords. Pleasewriteyour answers onAnswer Sheet 2.
Questions 47to51are basedon thefollowing passage.
Howgood are you at saying "no"?For many, it's surprisingly difficult. This is especiallytrue
ofeditors, who bynature tend to beeagerand engagedparticipants ineverything they do.Consider
these scenarios:
It's latein theday. That front-page package you've been working onis nearly complete; one
last edit and it's finished. Enter theexecutiveeditor, who makes asuggestion requiring a
more-than-modest rearrangement ofthedesign and theaddition ofan information box.You want to
scream: "No! It's done!" Whatdoyou do?
Thefirst rule ofsaying noto theboss is doingsay no.Sheprobably has something in mind
when shemakes suggestions, and it's upto you to find out what. Thesecond rule isdoingraise the
stakes bychallenging her authority. That issueis already decided. Thethird rule isto be ready to
cite optionsand consequences. The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always
consequences. Shemight not knowabout the pages backing upthat need attention, or about the
designer whohad to go homesick. Tell hershe can havewhat she wants, but explainthe
consequences. Understand what she's trying toaccomplish and propose aPlan B that willmake it
happen without destroying what you'vedone so far.
Here's another case. Yourleast-favorite reporter suggests a dumbstory idea. This oneshould
be easy, but it's not.If you say no,even politely, you risk inhibitingfurther ideas, not justfrom that
reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is commonin
newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions.
Two steps are necessary. First, you need asystem for howstories are proposed andreviewed.
Reporters can tolerate rejection oftheirideas ifthey believethey were given afair hearing.
Yourgut reaction(本能反应) and dismissiverejection, even ofa worthless idea, might not qualify
as systematic orfair.
Second, thepeople you work with need to negotiatea "What if...?" agreement covering
"What ifmyidea is turned down?" Howare 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 reach understanding that will help ease you out ofconfrontations.
47. Instead of directly saying noto your boss, you should find out__________.

48. The author's second warning isthat we should avoidrunning agreater risk by__________.
49. one wayof responding to your boss's suggestion is toexplain the__________to herand offer

50. To ensure fairness toreporters, itis important toset upasystem forstories to __________.
51. People who learn to anticipate"What if...?" situationswill beable to reach understanding and
avoid __________.
Section B
Directions:Thereare 2passages inthis section. Each passageis followed bysome questions or
unfinished statements. For each ofthem thereare fourchoices marked A), B), C)and
D). Youshould decide onthebest choice andmark thecorresponding letter onAnswer
Sheet 2with asinglelinethroughthecentre.
PassageOne
Questions 52to56are basedon thefollowing passage.
At theheart ofthedebate over illegal immigration lies onekey question: are immigrants good
orbad for theeconomy? TheAmerican publicoverwhelmingly thinksthey're bad. Yet the
consensus among most economists isthat immigration, bothlegal and illegal, provides asmall net
boost to theeconomy. Immigrants providecheap labor, lower theprices ofeverything from farm
produce to new homes, and leave consumers witha littlemore moneyin theirpockets. Sowhy is
there such a discrepancy between theperception ofimmigrants' impact ontheeconomy and the
reality?
There are a numberoffamiliar theories. Someargue that people are anxious and feel
threatened byaninflowofnew workers. Others highlight thestrain that undocumented immigrants
place onpublicservices, likeschools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasizetheroleof race,
arguing that foreigners add to thenation's fears andinsecurities. There's some truthto all these
explanations, butthey aren't quitesufficient.
Toget a better understanding of what's going on; consider the way immigration's impact is felt.
Thoughits overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David
Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that theones who profit most directly from immigrants'
low-cost laborare businesses and employers – meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or
agricultural businesses inCalifornia. Granted, theseproducers' savings probably translateinto lower
prices at thegrocery store, but howmany consumers make that mental connection at thecheckout
counter? Asfor thedrawbacks ofillegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native
low-skilled workers suffer most from the competitionof foreign labor. According to astudy by
George Boras, aHarvard economist, immigration reduced thewages ofAmerican high-school
dropouts by9%between 1980-2000.
Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, oppositionwas strongest in states
with bothhigh numbers ofimmigrants andrelatively generous social services. What worried them
most, in otherwords, was thefiscal(财政的)burden of immigration. That conclusion was
reinforced byanother finding: that theiroppositionappeared to soften when that fiscal burden
decreased, as occurred withwelfare reform in the1990s,which curbed immigrants' access to certain
benefits.
Theirony is that for all theoverexcited debate, thenet effect ofimmigration isminimal. Even
for thosemost acutely affected – say, low-skilled workers, or Californiaresidents –theimpact isn't
all that dramatic. "The unpleasant voices have tended to dominateourperceptions," says Daniel
Michener, a politicalscience professor at theUniversity of Oregon. "But when all those factors are
put together and theeconomists calculate thenumbers, it ends upbeing a net positive,but asmall
one." Too badmostpeople don't realizeit.

PassageTwo
Questions 57to61are basedon thefollowing passage.
Picturea typical MBA lecture theatretwenty years ago. In it themajority ofstudents willhave
conformed tothestandard model ofthe time: male, middleclass andWestern. Walkintoaclass
today, however, andyou'll get acompletely different impression. For astart, you will nowsee
plenty more women – theUniversity of Pennsylvania's Wharton School,for example,boasts that
40%of itsnew enrolment is female. You will also see awide range ofethnicgroups and nationals
ofpractically every country.
It might be tempting, therefore, to thinkthat theold barriers have beenbroken downand equal
opportunity achieved. But, increasingly, this apparent diversity is becoming a maskfor a newtype
ofconformity. Behind thedifferences insex,skintones andmother tongues, there are common
attitudes, expectations and ambitions which risk creating aset ofclones among the business leaders
ofthe future.
Diversity, it seems, has not helped to address fundamental weaknesses inbusiness leadership.
Sowhat can bedone tocreate more effectivemanagers ofthecommercial world? According to
Valerie Gauthier, associate dean at HEC Paris, thekey lies in theprocess bywhich MBA
programmers recruit their students.At the momentcandidates are selected ona fairly narrow set of
criteria such as prioracademic andcareer performance, and analytical and problem solving abilities.
This is then coupled toaschool's pictureof what adiverse class shouldlooklike, with theresult
that passport, ethnic origin andsex can all become influencing factors. But schools rarely dig down
to find out what really makes an applicant succeed, to createa class which also containsdiversity of
attitudeand approach – arguably the onlydiversity that, in a business context,really matters.
Professor Gauthier believes schools should not justbeselecting candidates from traditional
sectors suchas banking, consultancy and industry. They should also beseeking individualswho
9/21淘宝店铺：行知小课堂
have backgrounds in areas suchas political science, thecreativearts, history orphilosophy, which
will allowthem toputbusiness decisions intoa widercontext.
Indeed, there does seem to be ademand forthe morerounded leaders such diversity might
create. Astudy byManna, a leadership development company, suggests that, whilethebully-boy
chief executiveof oldmaynot have been eradicated completely, there isa definiteshift in emphasis
towards less tough styles of management – at least inAmerica and Europe. Perhaps most significant,
according toManna, is theincreasing interest large companies havein more collaborative
management models, such as thoseprevalent in Scandinavia, which seek tointegrate thehard and
soft aspects ofleadership and encouragedelegated responsibilityand accountability.

57.What characterizesthe business school student population oftoday?
A) Greater diversity. B) Intellectual maturity.
C)Exceptional diligence. D) Higher ambition.

A) It will arouse students' unrealisticexpectations.
B) It willproduce business leaders of auniform style.
C) It focuses on theory rather than onpractical skills.

A) Applicants with priorexperience in business companies.
B) Applicants with soundknowledge in math andstatistics.

Part I Writing
标准版 Myopiniononcertificatecraze
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 certificate of some kind. So, why's 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 weighs heavily in
terms of signifying one's ability. For the sake of increasing their odds of landing a better job, the
studentsarecompelledtorunfromoneexamtoanother.
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 ability.
Instead, they should be more involved in learning and capability boosting, thus, opportunities
wouldcomequitenaturally.
高分版 Certificatecraze
Recently the phenomenon of certificate craze has become a big concern of the public. It is
also a new crazeintheuniversity,which seemslikearoutine activityoncampus,for certificatesdo
playavitalrolewhenstudentslookforadecentjob.
Admittedly, there are different purposes behind this phenomenon. Some people aim at
certificates because of the employment pressure. With the admission expansion of colleges, a
great manygraduateshave to face the fierce competition in the job market.So it isthe certificates
that can make them more competitive. However, some others consider all the diploma and
certificates important standards by which a person's ability can be measured. They spare no effort
to get the certificates for the sole purpose of proving that they are qualified in a certain field.
Moreover, there are those who just want to enrich their life by preparing for the certificates
becausetheyreallyenjoytheirprogress.
From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since
certificates do not necessarily prove one's ability. Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is
nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not merely
gettingacertificate.
外教版
The job market today is increasingly sophisticated, requiring workers to have specialized
knowledge in their fields. As a result, becoming certified is a trend among today's job seeking
youth. More and more people, students especially, look at obtaining certification as a means to
gettingabetterjoband,therefore,enjoyingbrighterfuture.

Therefore, it is my opinion that, trend or not, the results of becoming certified are real and

Somehow the old male andfemale stereotypes no longer fit. Men andwomen in this country
haven't been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and
fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still
homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the
business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to
be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more
often, expressstrong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideasthan their male
colleagues.Several daysago,my23-year-olddaughter cametome withsomeimportantnews.Not

Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town.
Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area. This responsibility takes her too many
different places every week——the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes
that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property. There isn't
much violent crime in a small town like Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the large urban
areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights, near the bars downtown. There're
also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime
and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more
carefulwhentheywalkaroundGreenVillealoneatnight
Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up
most of Miss Heyse' reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to
much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but
Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every
unlock room in thedormitory tothe thiefwho stoleone milliondollarsworthof art work from the

a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy,
even paralyzed with indecision. ‘That's particularly true when it comes to the work place', says
Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a
variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing
an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students
during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting strategies and
careerdecisions,hedividedthestudentsintotwogroups：Maximizes,whoconsidereverypossible

why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed
