For college students, graduation signals an exciting new beginning. 1. Many students wonder: What do I do now? What career is best for me? Most expert advice on choosing careers boils down to the following points.
Knowing Yourself
What are your interests? Abilities? Skills? 2. The results may surprise you! These can be useful, but they’re not the last word.
Investigating
Investigating occupations is much more difficult. For most people, there isn’t just one ‘right’ job, but several that could be satisfying. 3. Talk to people who have occupations that interest you. Find out what they like and dislike about their job.
4.
Many people choose their careers because they believe strongly in a particular cause. Some might choose to work in areas like medicine, charity or environmental protection. Some have a strong interest in history or a love for the arts. 5. So in cases like these, the field is often chosen first, rather than the occupation itself. So if you’ve chosen a field, self-assessment will help you find your place in it. Invest some time and effort, and find the right career for you.
A. Try a self-assessment quiz.
B. Search through books and Web sites.
C. Finding your place.
D. But it can also bring a lot of uncertainty and confusion.
E. Serious research helps narrow the possibilities
F. Research your chosen field carefully. What work needs to be done? What training is needed?
G. Then they might think about education, museums or art production.

You are a new manager at the American branch of your German firm in Chicago. With a few minutes to spare between meetings, you go to get a quick cup of coffee.
“Hey, David, how are you?” one of the senior partners at the firm asks you.
“Good, thank you, Dr. Greer,” you reply. You’ve really been wanting to make a connection with the senior leadership at the firm, and this seems like a great opportunity. But as you start to think of something to say, your American colleague breaks in to steal your spotlight.
“So Arnold”, your colleague says to your boss, in such a casual manner that it makes your German soul cringe(畏缩), “So what’s your Super bowl prediction? I mean, you’re a Niners fan, right?”
The conversation moves on, and you walk silently back to your desk with your coffee. You know how important small talk is in the U.S., and you feel jealous of people who can do it well.
There’s nothing small about the role that small talk plays in American professional culture. People from other countries are often surprised at how important small talk is in the U.S. and how naturally and comfortably people seem to do it ------ with peers, men, women, and even with superiors. You can be the most technically skilled worker in the world, but your ability to progress in your job in the United States is highly dependent on your ability to build and maintain positive relationships with people at work. And guess what skill is critical for building and maintaining these relationships? Small talk.
What can you do if you are from another culture and want to learn to use small talk in the U.S. to build relationships and establish trust? Work hard to hone(磨练) your own version of American-style small talk. Watch how others do it. You don’t have to mimic what they do; in fact, that would likely backfire because people would see you as inauthentic. But if you can develop your own personal version, that can go a long way toward making you feel comfortable and competence．

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据短文的内容要点完成文章后的表格列单。
注意：补全填空应符合语法和搭配要求，每空只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch．Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you．Sometimes it's just enough to know they're standing by．Friendship doubles your joy and divides your grief．A friendship is priceless and should be cultivated．
●Remembering the golden rule
Without a doubt, the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated． When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship, you'll be blessed in untold ways．
You can't know what has gone on in the rude person's life that day, but you can assume that his or her day hasn't gone well．Maybe a loved one lost his job, her boss reprimanded her unjustly, he's coming down with the flu, or she just found out that her teenager is taking drugs．
Whatever the cause of the rudeness, you don't have to accentuate(突出) the problem．A kind word or a gentle, understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would．
● Considering foes as friends
A friend looks after your own good． On the other hand, a foe is someone who isn't interested in your well-being．
Yet some students view their teachers as enemies．However, a student's success in school partly depends on the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom．Instead of being an enemy, a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had．
This kind of thinking, along with a little attitude adjustment, helps you to convert foes to friends, and both of you are better off．
● Making friends by being an optimist
Do you enjoy being around a pessimist, someone who is generally described as being able to brighten up a room just by leaving it? The answer is obvious．Most people prefer to be around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today, rather than people who believe that today is even worse than yesterday．
● Capturing the pleasing personality
How do you develop a pleasing personality? Here are some steps you can take:
Smile when you see someone．You don't have to give a wide grin — just a pleasant, friendly smile．
Speak in a pleasant, upbeat tone of voice．Talk to people as if they are good friends, even if they don't really fall into that category yet．
Take a course in public speaking．The ability to express yourself attracts favorable attention from many sources．
Develop a sense of humor．Pick up a couple of joke books．This makes you a little more outgoing and friendly．
● Don't criticize unjustly
Instead of being eager to dish out criticism all the time, take the humane and sensible approach．Look for the good in others．Encourage them．Build them up．
Most people seldom think through each situation completely and consider the other person's point of view．If you take the time and effort to do this, you'll end up befriending more people．

In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practice—Eiffel Tower nose jobs (鼻整形手术). The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.
Surgeon Wang Xuming said: “We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US$ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.
Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his private practice. They show a western-looking woman with an almost-too-perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.
Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they’ll have more chances of finding a job,” said surgeon Xuming. “We’ve had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose; it’s helped them a lot.”
Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty “improvement”.
According to a Mr. Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xuming’s clinic, most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well-off backgrounds.” he said.
Personally, I don’t think it so important to “improve” our appearance as long as we are skilled at our jobs. We can’t decide how we look, but we can decide how well we live and work.
1.Why do Chinese college students choose to have a nose operation?
A. To have more chances of getting a job.
B. To gain a real westerner appearance.
C. To Take good care of their family.
D. To look like the Eiffel Tower.
2.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The city of Chongqing.
B. A plastic surgery procedure.
C. The posters advertising the surgery.
D. Xuming’s private practice.
3.What can we learn from Mr. Li’s words?
A. Most families can’t afford the expensive operation.
B. Their customers are usually from wealthy families.
C. Patients can be well looked after at the clinic.
D. The number of plastic surgeons is increasing.
4.Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A. Chinese employers only care about their employees’ appearance.
B. Chinese students are content with the shape of their noses.
C. A western face looks prettier than a Chinese one.
D. Skills at work speak louder than appearance.

On October 10, 2014, Malala, 17, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for struggling for the right of children to education. Malala is the youngest Nobel winner in history.
Malala Yousafzai has never been ordinary. When she was just 11, she started blogging (写博客) about the Taliban takeover of her hometown of Mingora, Pakistan. Taliban members follow an extreme belief of Islam and forbid girls to go to school. Classrooms were closed for several months. Malala spoke out about her desire to go back to school. “All I want is an education,” she told one television broadcaster.
Malala was later able to return to class. But she continued to blog and speak out about girls’ right to education. On October 9, 2012, the Taliban tried to silence her. A gunman boarded her school bus and shot her in the head. Malala survived and showed great courage and optimism during her long recovery. At that time she became a symbol of the struggle for girls’ rights all over the world. Nine months after she was shot, she gave a now-famous speech at the United Nations. “They thought that the bullets (子弹) would silence us. But they failed,” she said. “And then, out of that silence came thousands of voices. … Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power, and courage were born.”
Malala has also become an international symbol for peace. In 2011, she won Pakistan’s National Youth Peace Prize, which is now renamed the National Malala Peace Prize. Malala said the 2014 Nobel Prize was an “encouragement” to go forward to help kids. “I want to tell children all around the world that they should stand up for their rights,” she said. “This award is for all those children whose voices need to be heard.”
