You’re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let’s assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn’t it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that’ your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finish an extra couple of years hack at State University?
More and more people are resorting to deception like this to land their first job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from prestige schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars (注册人) at most well-known colleges say they deal with fraudulent claims like these at the rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One noted school calls them "impostors"; another refers to them as "special cases". One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by "no such people".
To avoid transparent lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attend" or "were associated with" a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that "attending"
means dropping out after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century -- that is when they began keep records, anyhow.
If you don’t want to lie or even stretch the truth there are companies that will sell you a diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue". As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper. [br] We can conclude from the passage that______.
选项
A、performance is a better judge of ability than is a college degree
B、a college degree is more essential than experience in job applications
C、a degree from a leading school gives applicants an advantage in job competition
D、past work histories influence personnel officers as much as degrees do
答案
C
解析
推断题。该题问“以下四个选项,哪一个可以从文章推断山来?”四个选项都是关于求职条件的问题。答题依据在文章第二段。文章提到“... personnel officers,like most Americans,value degrees from prestige schools.” (人事部门的官员象多数美国人一样看重著名大学)。该段文章还说到“A job applicant... assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university”(求职人员认为持有著名大学学历得到工作的机会要大得多)。根据上述分析,我们可以确定[C]为答案。”give someone an advantage"意思是“给某人以优势”。
