As you know, Mark Twain was a famous American author and James Whistler was a famous American painter. Twain liked Whistler’s works very much, and there’s a story about the day he visited Whistler in his studio. Whistler was a rather serious person, but Twain enjoyed a joke.

Twain walked round the studio looking at Whistler’s wonderful paintings.

“I like this picture of the sea, ”Twain said.

“Yes, I painted it some time ago. It’s called Angry Sea. ”

“The colours are beautiful, ” Twain said. Then he pointed at another picture. “I like the way the woman is standing in the picture. I like the way she’s looking out of the window. Yes. This picture is quite wonderful. ”

“Thank you, ”Whistler said.

“What are you painting at the moment? ” Twain asked.

“This, ”Whistler said and he showed Twain an unfinished picture. “This is going to be the best picture I have ever painted. ”

“Yes, it is. ”Twain said. “It’s so beautiful. I must touch it. ”

Twain put out his hand to touch the picture and Whistler got very angry.

“Don’t touch it, ”he cried. “The paint isn’t dry yet. ”

“I know, ”Twain said, “but it’s quite all right. I’ve got my gloves on. ”

As you know, there are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craig list Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craig list says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles.
