17.I came to study in the United States a year ago.Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
After the accident.my roommate called a doctor for me.I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day.But the next day,he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done.I was astonished.He had good reason to charge me,he said.And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury,I'd have to have a good lawyer.And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me find a good doctor,it was only fair that I should pay him.

D.Once you have a couple of targets,think about why and what interests you.
E.Tliat is to say,the people you keep company with determine your character development.
F.Job searching under pressure often results in nervous interviewing and decision-making from relatively few options.

The worse time to look for a job is when you feel desperate and must have a new one immediately.(67)FIf you are not in need of an immediate career change,here arc ways you can improve your long-term career prospects today;
Identify at least two different roles.You do not have to be qualified for these positions today,nor do they have to exist in your company.However,these roles should be related to your current skill set.They are career options that look interesting.(68)DPay close attention to what appeals to you,and write it down.This will give insight into your motivations and targets.
Subscribe to a career specific magazine.Knowledge is power in the workplace.All businesses must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue (收益).Reading about industry trends,advancements and success stories keeps you in touch with market conditions.This information allows you to see which companies and professionals are leading the pack.You can follow their examples in your own workplace.(69)A
Do exceptional work.In any role,there is a way to perform at your best.Look for ways to deliver a top performance.Show up early,be flexible to new assignments,have a positive attitude,cooperate with other departments,pay attention to the little details.
Be professionally curious.Talk to people about their careers.Learn more about how success is measured in other roles,departments and companies.Ask people their thoughts on different industries.(70)BPeople hire people.You never know what connections may be relevant when you start your next job search,so develop a habit of making good connections no matter where you go.Take the time to learn about others,and be helpful when you can.
As in all things in life,getting in front of a different task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise.Changing jobs is to be expected.No matter how secure you feel today,the time will come when either you or your employer decide it is time to change.
