【正确答案】正确答案： China is expanding its recruitment of postgraduates in recent years. As a result, the number of undergraduates taking graduate school entrance exam is increasing with each passing year. Besides college graduates' academic pursuit and the society's increasing demand for top-level talents, intense employment pressure is the key contributor to postgraduate craze. As the competition in the job market is increasingly fierce and supply of jobs falls short of demand, many college students choose to further their study rather than enter the job market after graduation. Although postgraduate craze is to some extent an indication of social needs, it also brings enormous psychological stress to college students. Therefore, universities in China should provide students with proper career guidance.
