    If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” demands people who are flexible(灵活的) and who have good communication skills.

       There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature(特点) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.

       Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important”, by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

       Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.

    By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have____.

    A. shared the jokes with computer majors        B. earned as much as computer majors

    C. found jobs more easily than computer majors   D. stopped joking about computer majors

    Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates ___.

       A. are ready to change when situations change      B. are better able to deal with difficulties

       C. are equally good at computer skills       D. are likely to give others pressure

    The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means ___.

       A. keep for some time   B. successfully get   C. immediately start   D. lose regretfully

    According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?

       A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.         B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.

       C. Skills in expressing themselves.           D. Part-time work experience.

    Calvin Coolidge (1872 – 1933) was the thirtieth president of the United States. He looked down on a person as being unworthy of respect who was too fond of talking about the details of others people’s actions and private lives because he had no time for small talks. The following two incidents clearly show how Collidge treasured silence.

    When he was vice president, Coolidge had plenty of opportunities to participate (参加) in Washington’s social life, especially the many dinner parties. As be ignored the art of conversation, he couldn’t exactly make himself dear to his hostesses. One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of the former President Roosevelt. Mrs. Longworth, a very brilliant conversationalist (谈话者), began to talk in her usual charming manner, but all attempts to a wake the interest on the part of the vice president were unproductive. Finally, being shamed into anger, she said, “I’m sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored.”

    Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge said not very clearly, “Well, a man has to eat somewhere.”

    Later, when he was president and once again at a dinner party, Collidge was seated next to an outstanding society woman, one of those busybodies, who seemed to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they met. “Oh, Mr. President,” she spoke with too much enthusiasm, “you are always so quiet. I made a bet (打赌) today that I could get more than two words out of you.”

           A．who liked to talk about the affairs of others

           B．who never talked about anything serious

           C．who often spoke insincerely

           D．who talked much but did little

    The hostesses thought Collidge was unfriendly because        in her eyes.

           A．he treated women coldly and rudely

           B．he paid no attention to conversational skills

           C．he was too serious to please any women

           D．he was pretty easy and quick to get angry

    Mrs. Longworth got shamed and angry because         .

           A．the vice president took part in too many dinner parties

           B．the vice president didn’t lift his eyes from his plate

           C．the vice president didn’t speak exactly and clearly

           D．the vice president didn’t react to all her efforts

    The underlined sentence “Well, a man has to eat somewhere” probably means        .

          A．Mr. Coolidge didn’t want to talk with Mrs. Longworth at all

           B．Mr. Coolidge had really got tired of so many social dinners

           C．Mr. Coolidge was unhappy with the dinner he was eating that day

           D．Mr. Coolidge was really hungry and had to find something to eat
