PART 3. Reading comprehension (共 30 題,30%)Do Japanese companies really want global talent? It seemed to me like they’re not really serious. CorporateJapan has long been wary of embracing Western-educated compatriots who return home. But critics say thereluctance to tap the international experience of these young people is a problem for Japan as some of itsmajor industries lose ground in an increasingly global economy. A shrinking portion of Japanese collegestudents is seeking higher education in the West. At the same time, Japan’s regional rivals, including China,South Korea and India, are sending increasing numbers of students overseas. “Japanese companies here aremissing out on the best foreign talent, and it’s all their fault,” said Toshihiko Irisumi, a graduate of theUniversity of Chicago Booth School of Business and former Goldman Sachs banker. Others with Westerneducations recall Japanese recruiters, who referring to them openly as “over spec” – too elite to fit in, tooeager to get ahead and too likely to be poached or to switch employers. What is more, Japanese studentswho study overseas often find that by the time they enter the job hunt back home, they are far behindcompatriots who have already contacted as many as 100 companies and received help from extensivealumni networks. And those who spend too long overseas find they are shut out by rigid age preferences forgraduates no older than their mid-20s. In some ways, the Japanese snubbing of Western graduates is atestament to the perceived strength of their own universities – despite mediocre showings in various globalcollege rankings.
