Read the following passage on commuting, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 51 to 60.
Many folk cures which have been around for centuries may be more therapeutic than previously suspected. A
case in point is that of penicillin Alexander Fleming did not just randomly choose cheese molds to study when he
discovered this very important bacteria-killing substance. Moldy cheese was frequently given to patients as a remedy
for illness at one time Fleming just isolated what it was about the cheese which cured the patients.
In parts of South America, a powder obtained from grinding sugar cane is used for healing infections in
wounds and ulcers. This usage may date back to pre-Colombian times. Experiments carried out on several
hundred patients indicate that ordinary sugar in high concentrations is lethal to bacteria. Its suction effect
eliminates dead cells and it generates a glasslike layer which protects the wound and ensures healing.
Another example of folk medicine which scientists are investigating is that of Arab fishermen who rub
their wounds with a venomous catfish to quicken healing. This catfish excretes a gellike slime which scientist
found to contain antibiotics coagulant that helps close injured blood vessels, anti-inflammatory agents, and a
chemical that directs production of a glue-like material that aids healing.

It is hoped that by documenting these folk remedies and experimenting to see if results are indeed
beneficial, an analysis of the substance be made, and synthetic substances be developed for human
consumption.

Read the following passage on commuting, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70.
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.
