     College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a
well-paid job. But for 6,000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there's uncertainty as they enter one
of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly minted(新兴的) degree in religious
studies, but no job prospects.
     "You look at everybody's parents and neighbors, and they're getting laid off and don't have jobs,"
said Stewart. "Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce... it's just scary."
     When the class of 2003 entered college, the future never looked brighter. But in the four years
they've been here, the world outside has changed dramatically.
     "Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top
dollar with lots of benefits," said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center. "Times
have changed. It's a new market."
     Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, sort of a
crossroads between college and the real world. Allmen-innidge says students who do find jobs after
college have done their homework.
     "The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. They've
postured(定位)themselves well during the summer. They've had several internships(实习)," she said.
And they've majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or
nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like
information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in
starting salaries.
     Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. "I'd like
to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy,"
he said.
     To some students, a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its
value will increase over time.

1. The expression "dot-com" in the fourth paragraph probably means " _____ ".

A. a well-known website
B. jobs related to high-technology
C. a company making dots
D. teaching on the Internet

2. What does Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge mean when she says students have "done their homework"?

A. They have spent time preparing themselves to find a job.
B. They have gone to summer school for further studies.
C. They are good students who have finished their homework on time.
D. They have found full-time jobs as their future career before graduation.

3. The purpose of a college career center is probably to ____.

A. help students do their homework
B. find jobs for students while they are in school
C. prepare students to find jobs after they graduate
D. help high school students get accepted to college

4. Ryan Stewart is probably going to _____ .

A. change his major
B. become a religious leader
C. get a job teaching
D. go back to school

5. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

A. Having a college degree does not provide travel discounts.
B. A college degree doesn't promise a person a high-paid job.
C. Most students with degrees will be able to find jobs.
D. The best way to get rich is to get a college degree.

Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I 31 asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so 32 . He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then the young man asked me why I 33 seemed to be so cheerful.

His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about 34 you want to approach life that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”

“Let me give you an example. 35 teaching here, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day, I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I 36 the freeway and turned onto College Drive, only another quarter mile ahead to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine 37 turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”

“ 38 getting there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary asked me what had happened. ‘This is my lucky day,’ I replied, smiling.”

“ ‘Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?’ She was 39 . ‘What do you mean?’ ’’ “I live 17 miles from here.” I replied. “My car 40 have broken down 41 along the freeway. It didn’t. 42 , it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, 43 walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.”

“The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she 44 . I smiled back and headed for class.” So ended my story.

I scanned the sixty faces in my class. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be 45 . Somehow, my story had touched them.

A. calmly B. seriously C. cheerfully D. curiously

A. bad B. good C. exciting D. scary

A. often B. always C. usually D. seldom

A. how B. why C. where D. that

A. As well as B. As to C. In exchange for D. In addition to

A. entered B. left C. found D. hit

A. wouldn’t B. shouldn’t C. couldn’t D. won’t

A. While B. In C. Before D. After

A. surprising B. astonishing C. puzzled D. shaken

A. could B. can C. would D. must

A. somewhere B. anywhere C. nowhere D. wherever
