　　Test for Civil Servants
　　In recent years, there are people in expanding numbers who have participated in the test for civil servants. Millions of students choose civil servant as their most ideal occupation after graduation. And among them, the high-educated, like masters and doctors, take quite a large percentage. The craze in civil servant test has attracted widespread attention.
　　The following fundamental causes can account for this kind of craze. First and foremost, nowadays college students face great employment pressure. Civil servant, as one of the most stable professions in today’s China, becomes their preferable choice. Moreover, recently, the welfare and salary of civil servants have been improved greatly, which undoubtedly attracts many people. Last but not least, the high social position of civil servants is a crucial factor drawing many people to take part in the civil servant test.
　　In my opinion, this craze in civil servant test will continue in the following years. However, from the long run, it does not do good to the development of our nation. If most high quality talents gather in the government departments, it might lead to a waste of resources. Accordingly, both the individuals and the government should have a more objective recognition of the civil servant test craze.

　　參考譯文：
　　近年來，越來越多的人開始參加公務員考試。數以百萬的學生選擇公務員作為他們畢業后最理想的職業。在他們中間，碩士和博士等高等教育者占據相當大的比例。報考公務員的熱潮已經引起廣泛的關注。
　　下述主要原因可以解釋這種熱潮。首先，現在大學生面對巨大的就業壓力。公務員作為當今中國最穩定的職業之一，成為他們的首選。其次，近年來公務員的福利和待遇已經極大改善，無疑吸引了很多人。最后，公務員較高的社會地位也是吸引很多人報考公務員的一個重要原因。
　　在我看來，報考公務員的熱潮在未來幾年中仍將繼續。然而，從長遠來看，這對我們國家的發展并沒有好處。如果大多數高素質人才聚集中于政府部門，這可能導致一種資源浪費。因此，個人和政府都應對報考公務員的熱潮有一種更客觀的認識。
