But unlike many of his classmates at Shanghais Foreign Languages High School, Chen did not set his sights on Harvard, Yale, or any of the other Ivy League schools； _41_ he applied to Bowdoin College, a small, elite liberal-arts college in Maine. Chen received a full scholarship to study psychology, and he later added economics as a second _42_.Now in his senior year, Chen has bee such a devotee of the liberal-arts approach that hes made it his _43_ to spread the word throughout China. He has coauthored a book called A True Liberal Arts Education, which essentially explains the little-known concept to Chinese students and their parents. Most Chinese people only know about Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, he says _44_ coffee in a Shanghai caf during his winter vacation. Though there have been many books about how to get into Ivy League universities, there was not a single book in China about the smaller liberal-arts colleges, he says. Chen, 23, explains that he was won over by Bowdoins_45_to developing skills for life, rather than simply for the workplace. Liberal arts is about fostering your identity, he says. They want to_46_ your mind. You may not remember all the knowledge youve learned after four years, but they want you to know how to learn.Yet he admits that liberal arts may be a hard sell in a country with an _47_ petitive job market. The book states that in the short term, a liberal-arts education wont improve job prospects. In China, employers are looking for someone who can e in and start working _48_ when they graduate, not someone who still needs to be trained in practical skills, Chen says. At the same time, he argues that many employers say liberal-arts graduates perform better over the long term. Over the past couple of years, _49_ from China to U.S. liberal-arts colleges have risen significantly. Bowdoin now has 300 Chinese applicants a year, pared with 100 a couple of years ago.III. Reading prehension（36%）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be _50_ to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to peoples desire for better fuel economy for their _51_ by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products _52_. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers money.Sometimes advertising is _53_ misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters with the message that there were fewer calories in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic, but just _54_ bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the _55_ number of calories in every loaf.On the _56_ side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumers real _57_. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by _58_ to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real _59_ for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the _60_ of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the _61_ of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.Each consumer must _62_ her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is _63_ to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still _64_ the final buying decision.50. A. advisedB. attractedC. convincedD. engaged51. A. carsB. favoritesC. homesD. interests52. A. do B. promiseC. workD. follow53.

For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much criticism. But by the end of xx Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldmans pensation mittee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The position was just taking up too much time, she said.Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased advisers on a firms board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executives proposals. If the sky and the share price is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises.The researchers from Ohio University used a database hat covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and xx. Then they simply checked which directors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those “surprise” disappearances by directors under the age of 70. They found that after a surprise departure, the probability that the pany will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinking ship. Often they “trade up.” Leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms.But th
