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 enrollments 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 for 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.

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 following questions from 43 to 50. 
The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth. 
 	By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist. 
 	 Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwart. After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface. 
43: It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun _______. 
 A. has been in existence for 10 billion years 	B. is rapidly changing in size and brightness 
 C. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf 
 D. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years 
44: What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become a red giant? 
 A. Its surface will become hotter and shrink. 	 B. It will throw off huge amounts of gases. 
 C. Its core will cool off and use less fuel. 	 D. Its central part will grow smaller and hotter. 
45: When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will the atmosphere be like on the Earth? 
 A. It will freeze and become solid. 	 B. It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions. 
 C. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun. D. It will become too hot for life to exist. 
46: When the Sun has used up its energy as a red giant, it will_______. 
 A. stop to expand 	B. cease to exist 	C. get frozen 	D. become smaller 
47: Large amounts of gases may be released from the Sun at the end of its life as a _______.
