　　Now listen to the passage

　　Job seekers in Britain say employers are paying less attention to(36)applicants’ degrees and

　　certificates. They are making their own (37)entrance exams to test ability. They are concerned about

　　decreasing (38)standards of job seekers, because many university graduates with good degrees have

　　shown a terrible inability to spell, and work out simple (39)sums。

　　The chairman of the Standing Conference of Employers of Graduates, told our (40)correspondent: “We don’t look at the pieces of paper (4 )turned in to us, but we look at the people with real

　　abilities。” A senior (42)executive with the Bank of England said that many companies were making

　　their own (43)intelligence tests so they could be sure that candidates were the right people for the

　　job。

　　In the Civil Service, (44)only about 200 out of 2,000 candidates are chosen after the rest have

　　been knocked out by the Service’s own examinations and interviews. Forged certificates, printed in

　　Germany, have been discovered recently. (45)These forged certificates are not easy to distinguish

　　from the real ones, and can be bought at ￡25 apiece. Making fake degrees has also become a highly

　　profitable business. (46)Fake degrees and diplomas, including Ph. D. degrees, can be obtained for as

　　little as ￡20 upwards. Some so-called “universities” and “colleges” are even selling these attractive

　　diplomas。

　　Now the passage will be read again。
