问题 You’re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let’s assume 【B1】______ . Isn’t it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? 【B2】______
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, 【B3】______  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, 【B4】______ , most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly.
