    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.
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. When you apply for a job, be sure you have the skills listed on the posting. 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.
    4. Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.
    5. 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 entry-level position. If you have the right skills and attitude, it won’t be long before you’re in the job you want.
    6. Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement.
    7. When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization.
    8. Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.
    Good luck!

    You’ve just come home, after living abroad for a few years. Since you’ve been away, has this country changed for the better—or for the worse?
    If you’ve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight’s holiday, small changes have probably surprised you—anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house.
    So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.
    Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middle-class families—all very conservative (保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.
    Having been an immigrant (移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I’d think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they’re more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.
    Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we’d left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.
    To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening—in Cyprus, they’re very relaxed—and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.
    But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they’ve got. 
    小题1:After a short overseas holiday, people tend to _______.
    A．notice small changes
    B．expect small changes
    C．welcome small changes
    D．exaggerate small changes
    小题2: How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?
    A．Cautiously.
    B．Positively.
    C．Sceptically.
    D．Critically.
    小题3:When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by _______.
    A．the relaxed policemen
    B．the messy arrivals hall
    C．the tight security
    D．the bank robbers
    小题4:Which might be the best title for the passage?
    A．Life in Britain.
    B．Back in Britain.
    C．Britain in Future.
    D．Britain in Memory.

    Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers” and “fruits” on the Net. They earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”.

    An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
    In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hongkong.
    In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
    The only problem arose in New York , where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy
    And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
    Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
    小题1:What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
    A．To invite authors to guide readers.
    B．To encourage people to read and share.
    C．To involve people in community service.
    D．To promote the friendship between cities.
    小题2:Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
    A．They had little interest in reading.
    B．They were too busy to read a book.
    C．They came from many different backgrounds
    D．T hey lacked support from the local government
    小题3:According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
    A．In large communities with little sense of unity
    B．In large cities where libraries are far from home
    C．In medium-sized cities with a diverse population
    D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
    小题4: The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean     
    A．exchanged ideas with each other
    B．discussed the meaning of a word
    C．gained life experience
    D．used the same language
    小题5: According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by________
    A．the careful selection of a proper book
    B．the growing popularity of the writers
    C．the number of people who benefit from reading.
    D．the number of books that each person reads.

    When I was an official of a school in Palo Alto, California, Polly Tyner, the president of our board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times. Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.
    “Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time. If I had only known that, I would have said to him, ‘Jim, I love you and I’m always so proud of you.’ I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people.
    “When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., I find that the irritations really don’t amount to much.
    “I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died. He called me to say, ‘Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. You have to go to work now. Bye.’ That day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”
    If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. You may never have another chance. Do it today!
    小题1:Who was Jim?
    A．The child of the Tyners’.B．The writer’s relative.
    C．The president of a school board.D．An official of a school.
    小题2: What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “the educationally handicapped”?
    A．The learning difficulty.B．The physical problems.
    C．The psychological problems.D．The communication difficulty.
    小题3:According to the writer, which of the following about Jim is TRUE？
    A．He was always sad about his school marks.
    B．His parents always scolded him about his bad school marks.
    C．His study needed more attention from his parents and teachers.
    D．He was killed in a car accident.
    小题4:The purpose of Polly’s letter is to                .
    A．memorize her son
    B．teach parents to appreciate their children
    C．teach children how to be good boys
    D．give some advice on how to deal with children’s problems

    Please help! I live in Germany with my wife and three kids. My parents live in the UK. I want my kids to have as much contact with their grandparents as possible. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS but my parents won’t. I’ve bought them a laptop, paid for broadband, given them both mobile phones and a digital camera, but they won’t use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these “technophobes”?
    Daniel, Buremburg, Germany
    Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines that they hated so much, but the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Bronte’s novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it.
    Laura, Valencia, Spain
    Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science fiction. Frankenstein, one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life.
    Freda, Copenhagen, Denmark
    One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone.
    Graham, Patras, Greece
    小题1:The underlined part “the technophobes” in the passage refers to ______.
    A．those who are ready to try new technology
    B．those who are addicted to the Internet
    C．those who refuse to use modern technology
    D．those who are devoted to inventing new things
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE of the Luddites?
    A．They called themselves the technophobes.
    B．They got full support from their factory owners.
    C．They preferred to keep their traditional working methods.
    D．They were killed by the government.
    小题3:Who has put forward a practical and useful suggestions?
    A．Laura. B．Freda. C．Daniel. D．Graham.
    小题4:The passage is probably taken from _____.
    A．a personal blog B．a letter between friends
    C．a personal diary D．a speech on new technology
    小题5:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Daniel would buy her parents a novel written by Shirley.
    B．Charlotte Bronte wrote about technophobes in her novel Shirley.
    C．Daniel would buy her parents cell phones with icons and menus.
    D．Daniel worried about her children using e-mails.

    They once seemed more at home on the busy streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力车) can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new model of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks.
    “It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.
    While the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis’ green ideas, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997.
    “It’s better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehman, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate. “ It feels so free.”
    “This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin,” said another traveler.
    In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. "I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi.
    Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past.
    Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.
    小题1:Where are rickshaws becoming more popular?
    A．Delhi, Berlin, Paris.B．Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi.
    C．Athens, London, Berlin.D．Berlin, Amsterdam, London.
    小题2:Why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in India as in the past?
    A．They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history.
    B．They have been banned because they are inefficient.
    C．The streets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily.
    D．Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer.
    小题3:What does the underlined sentence "This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in
    Bangkok instead of Berlin" suggest?
    A．The passenger didn't like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok.
    B．The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok.
    C．The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual.
    D．The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin.
    小题4:What is the author's attitude towards rickshaws?
    A．He gives no personal opinion.
    B．He believes they will be of no use.
    C．He thinks they will reduce pollution.
    D．He thinks they are old-fashioned.
