Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the question from 36 to 42
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.
Question 36: What is the main focus of this passage?
jobs on Wall Street
types of graduate degrees
changes in enrollment for MBA schools
how schools are changing to reflect the economy
Question 37: The phrase "two decades" refers to a period of 	.
A.10 years	B. 20 years	C. 50 years	D.100 years
Question 38: Which of the following business schools has NOT shown a decrease in enrollment?
A. Princeton	B. Harvard	C. Stanford	D. Yale
Question 39: The phrase "trend of" in the passage is closest in meaning to which of the following?

Question 40: Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?

Question 41: According to the passage, what are two causes of declining business school enrollments?
lack of necessity for an MBA and an economic recession
low salary and foreign competition
fewer MBA schools and fewer entry-level jobs
declining population and economic prosperity

  In Britain, greetings cards are sold in chain stores and supermarkets, in newsagents' shops, corner shops and, increasingly, in shops that specialize in the sale of cards and paper for wrapping presents in. The most common cards are birthday and Christmas cards. Many Christmas cards are sold in aid of charity and special 'charity card shops' are often set up in temporary premises in the weeks before Christmas.
 A wide variety of birthday cards is available to cater for different ages and tastes. Some, especially ones for young children or for people celebrating a particular birthday, have the person's age on the front. Many have comic, often risque, messages printed on them, and cartoon-style illustrations. Others are more sober, with reproductions of famous paintings or attractive original designs. The usual greeting on a birthday card is ‘Happy Birthday', 'Many Happy Returns' or 'Best Wishes for a Happy Birthday'.  Some people also send special cards for Easter and New Year. Easter cards either portray images of spring, such as chicks, eggs, lambs, spring flowers, etc, or have a religious theme. 
Cards are produced for every 'milestone' in a person's life. There are special cards for an engagement, a marriage, a new home, a birth, success in an examination, retirement, a death in the family, etc. Some are 'good luck' or 'congratulations' cards. Others, for example 'get well' cards for people who are ill, express sympathy.               (Extracted from The Oxford Advanced Learner's Encyclopedic Dictionary)
