Mexico City is truly one of the most amazing cities in the world with a mixture of both the old and new world. From the moment your plane starts to descend into this vast city, you know that your trip will be quite an adventure.

Once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. The volume of the traffic can be stressful to some.

    The "Paseo de la Reforma(改革大道)", running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in Mexico City with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. The only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time.

    One of the most popular attractions in this area is the National Museum of Anthropology along the northwest part of the street. There are thousands of artifacts on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many Aztec sites in the area. Walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the Mexico City Zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon.

    Across the street from the museum is the Chapultepec Castle, once an important site in the Mexican-American war. It's also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle islocated as the hill is steep. It's important to keep in mind that Mexico City is over 7,000 feet above sea level and some feel it difficult to breathe when walking.

    You can take a taxi to the Coyoacan market during the evening on a weekend. It's a great place to get some cheap souvenirs to bring back home and to enjoy some traditional Mexican cuisine. However, you must be careful where you eat and that the meat is well cooked.

64. The tourists in Mexico City may not be satisfied with______.

   A. the high speed of the traffic                                B. the heavy traffic of the city

   C. the polluted air in the city                            D. their safety in the city

65. From the third paragraph, we can learn that______.

   A. the number of the city attractions can't meet the needs of the tourists

   B. it is convenient for tourists to visit the city from where they stay

   C. tourists have problems when visiting the sites in Mexico City

   D. tourists often have their three meals in the high quality hotels

66. Which of the following shows the correct positions of the following places?

   P = Paseo de la Reforma              M = the National Museum of Anthropology

   C = the Chapultepec Castle         Z = the Mexico City Zoo

67. Which of the following attractions may interest those who want to study the military (of thearmy) history of Mexico City?

   A. The National Museum of Anthropology.        B. The Coyoacan market.

   C. The Chapultepec Castle.                               D. The Aztec sites.

If you know exactly what you want, the best way to get a job is to get specialized training. A recent report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training.

    That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high to low and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies especially like a background of formal education coupled with work experience. But in the long run, too much specialization does not pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree washes out after five years.

As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices. Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management. This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts(文科) graduate. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems. David Birch, manager of the Boston Red Sox, says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree. “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,” says Birch.

For a liberal – arts degree, students focus on some basic courses that include literature history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior and a computer course or two. With these useful and important courses, you can feel free to specialize, “A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,” says Scheetz.

67. The job market is in great need of people with          .

         A. special training in special fields  B. a bachelor’s degree in education

         C. formal schooling and work experience        D. an MBA degree from top universities

68. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means         .

         A. an MBA degree does not help in future promotion

         B. MBA programs will not be as popular as they are now

         C. people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have got

         D. most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation

69. David Birch says that he only hires liberal – arts people because          .

         A. they will follow others’ ways of solving problems

         B. they can do better in bundling changing situations

         C. they are well trained in a variety of specialized fields

         D. they have attended special programs in management

70. The author supports the idea that          .

         A. on – the – job training is less costly in the long run

         B. formal schooling is less important than job training

         C. specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists

         D. generalists will do better than specialists in management
