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 |

Moving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the opposite
is true for men, whose longterm health benefits when they move in with a female partner.
Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their
dietary habits to suit their other half.
It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to
make creamier, heavier dishes like curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.
Women still have the strongest longterm influence over the couple"s diet and lifestyle, as they still have
the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.
The report, by Newcastle University"s Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a
variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and
lifestyle habits of couples.
The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of
foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.
Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain
weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.
Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening
was particularly important to many.
Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, "The research has shown that your
partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this
factor into consideration."

2. The underlined word "light"(in Paragraph 3 ) probably means ________.
A. not very heavy
B. less in fat and sugar
C. gentle
D. not serious or important
3. According to the report by Newcastle University"s Human Nutrition Research Centre, ________.
A. women put on weight only because they want to suit their other half
B. when men are faced with emotional stress, they will change their dietary habits
C. eating together in the evening is a good way to communicate for couples
D. it is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner
4. From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A. women should pay more attention to their partner"s influence on them

以下是一些生活感想或经验介绍：
A. More than nine years ago I was 70 pounds overweight and wore a very big dress. I had tried different diets and lost weight only to gain it back. Finally a simple "threeforone"fat rule worked for me: consuming
no more than three grams of fat for every 100 calories per serving. Following the rule and eating only
foods that contain less than 30 percent fat, I spent eight months getting down to a size seven, and I"ve
kept the weight off for nine years.
B. And for foods that aren"t packaged, you rely on what we already know about them. Red meat,as well
as dishes made or served with butter, gravy, cream, sauce or cheese, are almost never less than 30 percent fat, so you just don"t eat them. On the other hand, some nonpacked foods-all fruits and vegetables except avocadoes and olives-always pass the test. So do most fish, but not when fried.
C. I like vegetables, which are rich in vitamins. Most foods containing vitamins C and E (such as sweet
potatoes, tomatoes, spinach and broccoli) are low in calories and are known as antioxidants(抗氧化物质). They can help reduce the possibility to develop hardening the arteries(动脉).
D. I gain weight around the belly-what we call abdominal obesity, the worst kind. The tendency seems to
be hereditary (遗传的), and it"s common among men. This problem increases the risk of a stroke or heart attack. A guide I use in estimating belly fat is the waisttohip ratio or WHR. To find yours, divide the
circumference (圆周) of your waist by the circumference of you hips. Women with ratios above 0.8 and
men with ratios above 1.0 are at increased health risk.
E. My ways of keeping healthy are very simple, and they are among our everyday activities: eating healthy
food and doing exercise. In addition, I manage to do those basic things, such as drinking water, sleeping
well and eating less fat. Sometimes I do some of the other things I used to do in my life like walking for
half an hour a day.
F.Although I"ve put on ten pounds, I"m healthy and in good shape. I eat food that"s good for me…but I
work off Susan"s homemade brownies (巧克力蛋糕), for example, to offset these extra calories, I walk
for an hour or more, three times a week…often with Susan. We"re both busy and this is one way we have some quiet time together. Equally important, it permits me to practice dieting"s fine art of compromise.
以下是五位专家的建议.请匹配这些建议及对应的生活感想或经验介绍(A、B、C、D、E和F).
1. You should watch where your weight accumulates. You can use the waist to hip ratio to find if there is
too much fat around the middle. Belly fat is especially dangerous because it releases free fatty acids
directly to the liver, virtually flooding it with fat.
2. If a particular food is important to you, eat it, but work it off. You should try to learn the art of
compromise.
3. At the same time. the threeforone is relatively simple to use. Fat grams and calories are listed on
almost all boxed, canned or packaged foods. You have only to read the label and follow the rule.
A fiveyearold patient of mine can do this.
4. Drinking water is basic, and drinking enough of it is necessary. Patients are sometimes surprised that
basic things work when they do them consistently.
5. Consume antioxidant foods. They protect the cholesterol(胆固醇) from oxidative damage,which
helps prevent damage to blood vessel walls. |

Ask savvy investors(投资者) how they learned their first lessons about money, and they"ll probably
tell you lessons their parents taught them.
The money values we learn as children stay with us the rest of our lives. If you are a parent, teaching
your children the value of saving and investing will benefit them the rest of their lives. Here"s what you can
do:
Help your child begin to save. Open savings accounts for your children, and teach them how the bank
adds interest to their savings that makes their money grow. Encourage your children to save a little from
every bit of money they receive, such as allowances, birthday gifts, etc. You may even want to set up a
matching program, contributing fifty cents for each dollar your child saves.
Teach your child about stocks(股票). A child in elementary school can start learning about how
businesses work. Once your child understands the basics, ask him or her to think about some of the
businesses that might be good stock investments. Then use Morningstar Mutual Fund Guide(available
at your library)to find a quality mutual fund that holds some of these companies, or a mutual fund that
caters to children such as the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund. Many funds accept regular monthly
investments as low as $50 a month, so these funds can be a good way to teach children about the stock
market while saving for their college education.
Encourage early IRA(个人退休金账户)saving. The new Roth IRA is a great way for children who
are working in summers or after school to begin saving for their future. Imagine how much money you"d
have today if you had saved $3,000 a year since you were a teenager!
Let your kids handle their own money. We all learn by doing, so letting your kids manage a segment
of their budget(预算)will let them earn valuable financial lessons.They may make mistakes, but they will
be small mistakes that may help them avoid larger mistakes as adults.
1. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Why to Teach Your Children to Save
B. How to Teach Your Children to Save
C. Tips for Saving for Children
D. Start Good Saving Habits Early
2. A matching program means ________.
A. that you should set a good example to your children
B. that you should provide enough money for children so that they can save some
C. that you encourage your children to compete with each other in saving
D. that you encourage your children by giving some extra money for them to save
3. According to the author, you should teach your children about investment when he/she is ________.
A. in the kindergarten
B. in primary school
C. in middle school
D. in college
4. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund?
A. It is usually with high benefits.
B. It accepts regular monthly investments.
C. It accepts small investments as low as $50 a month.
D. It caters to children who can afford small investments.
5. The advantage of letting your kids manage their budget lies in ________.
A. that they will make great businessmen in the future
B. that they will know the difficulty of managing a budget
C. that they will avoid making bigger mistakes in the future
D. that they will share happiness of managing their own budget |
