    Tight-lipped elders used to say, "It's not what you want in this world, but what you get．"

    Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things．

    You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living．If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served．

    Similarly, If you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself．In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services．

    This account of yourself is actually a general description of your working life and should include education, experience and references．Such an account is valuable．It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews．While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner．

    When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell．Then you are ready to look for a job．Get all the possible information about your could-be job．Make inquiries about the details concerning the job and the firm．Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment．Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the position you wish for, and keep in mind: Obtaining a job is your job now．

    1.What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get．”?

           A．You’ll certainly get what you want．          

           B．It’s no use dreaming．

           C．You should be dissatisfied with what you have． 

           D．It’s essential to set a goal for yourself．

    　　Motorists have been left open-mouthed at the sight of this landscape image of Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous masterpiece, the Mona Lisa．

    　　Motorist Janet Hunter pulled her car over to take a photograph of the vision about four miles east of Newport, Virginia．

    　　“It’s unbelievable,”she said．“It’s fantastic．”

    　　The amazing reproduction of the Mona Lisa has been created by local artist Samuel Clemens, who says he has been waiting to create a piece of landscape art since he was a child．

    　　“I was always going to do the Mona Lisa,”said Clemens, 48,“I did it because the Mona Lisa is the most recognized thing．”

    　　The masterpiece was recreated by making a stencil(模板)on a canvas, then dusting the hillside with black painting．It took him 14 hours just to lay out the canvas and another nine to spray the 40-by-60-foot painting．

    　　“Whenever someone makes the effort, you have to stop and appreciate it,”said Becky Stillwell of Albany, who brought her guests from Boston to view the work．“Otherwise, people stop doing interesting things．”

    　　Mr．Clemens bought the dairy farm where the Mona Lisa now stands eight years ago with a view to creating the masterpiece on the 60-degree slope behind it．

    　　“I was worried about the detail because the hill isn’t smooth,”he said．“It isn’t like a piece of paper．As it was, I lost a little smile at the corner of her mouth．”
