◆活学活用
根据上述技巧,完成下列读写任务。
You,re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let,s assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree.Isn,t it tempting to lie just a little,to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree?Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University?
More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers,for personnel officers,like most Americans,value degrees from famous schools.A job applicant may have a good education anyway,but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms,then.If it turns out that an applicant is lying,most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly.One Ivy League school calls them “impostors(骗子)”; another refers to them as “special cases”.One wellknown West Coast school,in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all,says that these claims are made by “no such people.”
To avoid outright(彻底的)lies,some jobseekers 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 jobseeker 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 centurythat,s when they began keeping records,anyhow.
