14．Before you accept quickly and gladly the first job offer that comes your way after college，consider this：your first job will probably be the most important decision you will ever make in your career．
The people you meet are often more important than your paycheck．Making your managers'job easier is a good way to earn their favor，but they shouldn't be your only supporters．The people sitting next to you may be your boss someday or，even better，they may know someone who might want to hire you in a field you actually want to work in．Those office allies are also important sources of inside information．When you are ready to negotiate your next pay raise or promotion，you will want to lean on co-workers who have been in your shoes and may have insights on salary expectations you should be asking for．
Your first job will make you better for your second，third and fourth jobs．Your first job is the final opportunity to take chances，make mistakes，ask stupid questions and still come out smelling like roses．But while you're trying things out，be conscious about what you have learned and how you can apply it later．Even if you haven't landed a job in your desired industry，you should be able to come up with a list of at least three to five valuable skills you've picked up that will impress a future employer．Hiring managers are much more forgiving of those who had to do some job-hopping （跳槽）to get to where they wanted to be-in this economy，who could blame you？-but they're still going to want to know that you can get the job done．
Negotiating your salary early in your career can improve your lifetime earnings．Your first job can be a great testing ground for your negotiation skills．Trust me that no hiring manager will dock you for having the confidence to ask for the salary you believe you deserve so long as you do it right．

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．
