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 is not a guarantee for 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.
What is the main idea of the talk?
A.Schools offering MBA courses.
B.Economic prosperity brought by MBA graduates.
C.Changes in enrollment for MBA schools.
D.How to obtain an MBA degree.

Home Heating
Central heating became popular only after the Civil War Typically, coat-burning furnaces (火炉) fueled the early systems Natural gas had developed into the leading fuel by 1960 its acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses Because it comes primarily from US and Canadian fields, natural gas is also less vulnerable (脆弱的) than oil is to war Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas, such as New England
Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity, including the South and the Northwest It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding electric heating to new houses built with air-conditioning Bottled gas, which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas, is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by utility pipelines Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties
Home heating which accounts for less than 7 percent of all energy consumed in the US, has had a commendable (值得赞扬的) efficiency record: from 1978 to 1997, the amount of fuel consumed for this purpose declined 44 percent despite a 33 percent increase in-the number of housing units and an increase in house size The U S
Department of Energy, however, forecasts that energy used in home heating will rise by 14 percent over the next two decades that rise is small considering an expected 21 percent increase in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses
Natural gas and electricity will probably dominate the home heating market for the next two decades Solar (太阳的) heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter sunlight in most areas; in 2000 only 47,000 homes relied on it.

A.1978
B.1960

D.2000
Demographic indicators show that Americans in the postwar
period were more eager than ever to establish families. They quickly
brought clown the age at marriage for both men and women and brought
the birth rate to a twentieth century height after more than a hundred 【B1】_______
years of a steady decline, producing the "baby boom." These young 【B2】_______
adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large families

Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women who 【B6】_______
formed families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the 【B7】_______
divorce rate after a postwar peak; their marriages remained intact to
a greater extent than did that of couples who married in earlier as 【B8】_______
well as later decades. Since the United States maintained its dubious 【B9】_______
distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world, the
temporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same extent in 【B10】_______
Europe. Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner
and homemaker was not abandoned.
【B1】
