As the global financial crisis hits the economy, it"s tough finding a job-especially if you"re competing with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don"t quite seem to land the job because you don"t have related experience. Don"t despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge.
★Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let
everyone know you are looking for a job.
★Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it"s perfect. Have someone else read it over
for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It"s worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on
the Internet.
★When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills
you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not
enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.
★Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.
★Don"t be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified-if there"s room for
advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entrylevel position. If you
have the right skills and attitude, it won"t be long before you"re in the job you want.
★Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an
improvement.
★When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization.
★Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.
Good luck!

Boys need friends, suffer when they don"t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no
boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and
healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人).
Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very
important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls" friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to
say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a
friendship.
Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group"； they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill
are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt
(萦绕心头) a boy for years.
As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy"s life-and a part in which his
parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends.
There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me", someone he can
trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run
surprisingly deep.
1. The common belief of adults is that boys________.
A. don"t care about others as much as girls
B. don"t value friendship as much as girls
C. have the same friendship as girls
D. have healthier friendship than girls
2. According to the text, boys" friendship________.
A. is usually built around active play
B. tends to be in small groups
C. can bear mutual hurt between friends
D. doesn"t suffer from failure
3. The author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove ________.
A. many people believe girls are better at relationships
B. most boys consider their friends very important
C. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
D. boys may be more active in a friendship
4. As a boy gets older, he tends to________.
A. widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of people
B. shift his focus from his friends to himself
C. leave his parents out of his friendship
D. be confused about what a friendship is
5. What"s the best title for the text?
A. Friendships between Boys and Girls
B. Boys and Their Friendship
C. Childhood and Adolescent Friendship
D. Tips on Making Friends with Boys |

Imagine waking up to a world where China is the world"s leading superpower, astronauts are busy
walking on Mars and a brand new political party is ruling the UK? Well, this could be reality in 14 years if some of the predictions of 100,000 Britons are correct.
The survey asked the people of the UK how they pictured the world in 2025.
Nearly half believe Prince William will be crowned King of England instead of Prince Charles although one in six think the monarchy (君主制度) will have been abolished. A quarter of those surveyed believe
a new party will form the government in 2025 although the same number of people think that Labor will
be back in power.
On the world stage 60 percent think China is set to become the world"s leading superpower, while 30
percent of people think Great Britain will be made up of four selfgoverned countries.
Meanwhile technology will have come on in leaps and bounds. Four percent are optimistic that there
will be a permanent human base on Mars while one in ten expect a colony of humans to be living in space. More than half questioned in the MSN study predict people will watch all their favorite shows via TV sets hooked up to the Internet. Two thirds believe cosmetic surgery(整容手术) will have become common

Every year in the first week of my English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless homework requires it. They find the writing process painful and difficult.
How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not ________, especially English, with its rich
vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in a large house but never leaving one small
room. When I meet students who think they can"t write, I know as a teacher my duty is to show them the
rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing
activity to enrich the moral and emotional development of my students. One great way to do this is by
having students write in a journal in class every day.
Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done daily, just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with daily practice. I often see a rise in
students" confidence after only a few weeks of journal writing.
Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future professional lives. They
build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of news, or the perfect love letter.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive
people are happier and healthier,have better marriages and have more respectable occupations.
Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive
defendants(被告)．But in the executive circle,beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful
to a woman.
Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men；effort and
ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones；their
success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable
than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes
was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more
feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus,an
attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an attractive woman in a traditionally
masculine position appears to lack the"masculine"qualities required.
This is true even in politics."When the only clue is how he or she looks,people treat men and women
differently,"says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on
political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,one of
men and one of women,in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of
candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again,in the order they would vote for
them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men,but the women who had
been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes. |
| 1．The underlined word "liability"(in Para.1)most probably means "________"． |
A．misfortune
B．instability
C．disadvantage
D．burden |
| 2．In traditionally female jobs,attractiveness________. |
A．reinforces(加强)the feminine qualities required
B．makes women look more honest and capable
C．is of primary importance to women
D．often enables women to succeed quickly |
| 3．Bowman"s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics,attractiveness________. |
A．turns out to be an obstacle to men
B．affects men and women alike
C．has as little effect on men as on women
D．is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women |
| 4．It can be inferred from the passage that people"s views on beauty are often________. |
A．practical
B．prejudiced
C．oldfashioned
D．pessimistic |
| 5．The author writes this passage to________. |
A．demand equal rights for women
B．emphasize the importance of appearance
