To avoid outright lies, some job-seekers claim that they attended or were associated with a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that attending means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that being associated with a college means that the job seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century thats when they began keeping records, anyhow.

　　If you dont want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are coMPAnies that will sell you a phony (假的)diploma. One coMPAny, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from Smoot State University. The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the University of Purdue. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.

　　6. The main idea of this passage is that .

　　A) employers are checking more closely on applicants now

　　B) lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem

　　C) college degrees can now be purchased easily

　　D) employers are no longer interested in college degrees
