The girl looking for the job turned out to be excellent but she ended up giving her employer a headache when it also turned out that she used an unreal diploma (文凭).
In December , a Civil Administration Bureau in the city of Wuhan , Hubei Province , announced that it needed five new staff members . Some 120 people applied and took the exam . Applicants were required to show proof of a college degree at least .
Mei Jing beat everyone , in the test and the interview . When a follow-up check was done , however , her education certificate was discovered to be an unreal one .
This was a bit of an embarrassment for the employers . A dilemma , one might say . If she were hired because of her excellent performance , she still wouldn’t have the qualifications on paper . But , if she were dropped because she didn’t meet the education requirements , they would lose a good worker . Tough problem .
While Mei’s future hangs in the balance , the public having learned of the case , got involved .
Some people said the bureau should employ her , since results are the only important thing . “After all , ability is more important than a diploma,” said one office worker .
Others , however , have attacked Mei’s dishonesty . They said that morality (道德) was , after all , more important than talent , especially in the case of a government position . Mei wasn’t honest , so she shouldn’t be hired . Case closed .
But , Shen Ronghua , the head of the Shanghai Public Administration and Human resources Institute , tries to be a bit more philosophical .
“There is still a sort of ‘diploma means this’ prejudice (偏见)among people,” Shen explains , “Many employers regard a diploma as the only sign of ability and talent.”
So, with this in mind , people may pay little attention to whether someone has real ability or not . They turn to chasing a diploma instead . The unreal diploma is the natural product of this thought .
The conclusion ? “China needs a new human resource system . The new system will not define a person only by his or her diploma,” Shen says .
56.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “dilemma” in Paragraph Four ?
A.A problem easy to deal with or solve .
B.A situation in which it is difficult for you to make the decision .
C.A difference in two or more statements , ideas , or stories .
D.Something said or done that is funny .
57.What can we infer from this news report ?
A.The Civil Administration Bureau of Wuhan employed the girl .
B.The girl was not employed because of dishonesty .
C.It remained to be seen whether the girl was to be employed or not .
D.Another Human Resource Institute employed the girl .
58.What does Shen Ronghua mean by saying “diploma means this” ?
A.A diploma can tell whether a person is honest or not .
B.A diploma is the only sign of ability and talent .
C.A diploma is what you get after you finish a course .
D.A diploma means a job .
59.Which statement is NOT true according to the news report ?
A.It seemed that the reporter agrees with Shen Ronghua’s opinion .
B.If you want to get the job , you have to meet a certain education requirement .
C.Most people held the view that morality was the most important thing .
D.One official said that something should be done to change the human resource system .
60.Which of the following do you think is the best title of this news report ?
A.A Girl’s Unlucky Experience B.Unreal Diploma

When I sit down in class , I often wonder why my teachers choose such a job .Don’t get me wrong : if it weren’t for teachers I wouldn’t be as smart as I am . But tell me : After you go to school fourteen years , will you choose to be a teacher ?
After I see how students treat their teacher by disrespecting them in all types of ways , why would I want to have that job ? It’s not like I would take that junk from them . Do you think they become teachers to have the freedom that they didn’t have in school ? Or do they really want you to learn something ? ——If they do , why do they scream at you when you make a mistake , or talk ? We all are not perfect , so if you don’t get a lesson they teach , why do they say you haven’t been listening ? It is not all teachers that act like that . But to the ones that do , I’d like to shout at them : DON’T TEACH !!!!!!!
