do？will you get a good job？many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices. theyve invested a lot of money for their diploma（文凭）and now an important question stares them in the face.ive seen so many now graduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned. an example was dave, who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years. he had his heart set on working for nike. but he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for nike, so nothing ever happened. another example was allison, who was a history major. she wanted to work as an event planner, but no one hired her. why？no experience. failing to do some solid（认真的）career exploration first or to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do is a big mistake that many college students make. after our suggestion, dave and allison both found their jobs. to ensure a brighter future, follow these effective strategies： make educated career choices. identify the job you want. conduct research. ask parents to advise you on actual job duties. consider what your natural talents are, and look for positions where you can use them. dont rely on the internet. networking is an effective toolbe sure its a job-hunting strategy you use. new studies from the department of labor state that only 4 of the job-seekers found their job on the internet. the fact is that 63 of all jobs are filled by contacts. employers are making quick decisions. most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview. its deadly to let the employers judge quickly how well you can perform the job. practice your interviewing skills. be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend.49what does the author seem to be most probably？ a. a job-hunter. b. a magazine editor. c. a website owner. d. a job-seeking adviser.50in order to be well prepared for the interview, youd better _. a. surf the internet for contacts b. get along well with your workmates c. practice the interview for several times d. take care of your dress 51according to the text, it is suggested that dave should _. a. let others know what he can do for them b. study further to get a higher degree c. give up his interest in playing basketball d. take part-time jobs first 52for allison, she should _. a. find a job in another field b. find some work to gain work experience c. not tell the employer her major d. offer more personal information. bi fell in love with the businessmans son when i turned eighteen. he was not chinese. for christmas i prayed for the boy, robert. when i found out that my parents had invited the businessmans family over for christmas eve dinner, i cried in panic. what would robert think of our poor chinese christmas? what would he think of our noisy chinese relatives who lacked proper american manners? what terrible disappointments would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet potatoes but chinese food?on christmas eve, my mother created abundant chinese food. and then they arrivedthe businessmans family and all my relatives. robert greeted hello, and i pretended he was not worthy of existence.dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. my relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. my relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. robert made a face. then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. “amy, your favorite,” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. i wanted to disappear.at the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “its a polite chinese custom to show you are content,” explained my father to our astonished guests. robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. the businessman managed to bring up a quiet burp. i was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.after everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “you want to be the same as american girls on the outside.” she handed me an early gift. it was a miniskirt. “but inside you must always be chinese. you must be proud that you are different. your only shame is to have shame.”it was not until years later that i was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. for christmas eve that year, she had chosen excellent chinese food.53when the writer knew the businessmans family would come for christmas eve dinner, she cried mainly because _.a. she worried about being laughed at b. she worried about their poor chinese christmasc. she worried about their chinese relatives lacking american mannersd. she worried about meeting the businessmans family54what does the underlined sentence “he was not worthy of existence” probably mean? it means _.a. he should not exist b. the writer expected his coming c. the writer was not interested in his existence d. he was worthless55the dinner disappointed the writer mainly because _.a. her relatives licked the ends of their chopsticksb. her father reached his chopsticks to pick fish for herc. her father leaned back and burped loudlyd. she childishly expected all of them to act in the same way as americans did at table56we can infer from the passage that _.a. the writer appreciated her mothers lesson years laterb. the writer must be proud that she is differentc. the mother prepared to show chinese different food cultured. the businessmans family really enjoyed the food c thousands of people pass through the gates of disneys entertainment parks in california, florida and japan each year. what makes these places an almost universal place of interest? what makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these disney parks? well, one reason is the way theyre treated once they get there. the people at disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”, as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.all new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending disney university and taking “traditions i”. here, they learn about the companys history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. they are shown how each department relates to the whole. all employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.after passing “traditions i”, the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific（具体的）jobs. no detail is missed. a simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. when one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple and ordinary job, he replied, “what happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds?we need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.”even disneys managers get involved in the daily management of the park. every year, the mangers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. for a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail（单轨车）, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. the managers agree that this week helps them to see the companys goals more clearly. all these efforts to serve the public well have made walt disney productions famous. disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in america or the world. as one longtime business observer once said, “how disney treats people, communicates with them and rewards them, is the very reason for his fifty years of success i have watched with great admiration, the theory and practice of successfully selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis. it is what disney does best.”57the first day they come to disney parks, all new employees_. a. must learn several jobs b. begin by receiving on-the-job trainingc. begin as ticket takers d. have already attended disney university58why do managers working in disney parks wear special service clothes in the park? a. because they want to set a good example for employees b. because they want to remind themselves of their beginnings at disney c. because they want to gain a better view of the companys aims d. because they want to replace employees on holiday59which of the following is not true according to the passage? a. tourists learn the history of disney in its entertainment parks. b. disney attracts people almost from all over the world. c. parades are regularly held in disneys entertainment parks d. disneys managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the disney parks.60this passage is mainly about_. a. how disney employees are trained b. the history and traditions of the disney enterprises c. why disney enterprises make a lot of money d. the importance disney places on serving people well d on sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron (围裙) the one with the race cars all over it. the ritual (仪式,老规矩) began after breakfast when dad always announced: “go ahead everyone. ill take care of the dishes!” with that my mother disappeared into the folds of the sunday paper. off came the suit coat he had worn to church that morning. up went the shirtsleeves. on went that apron. for the next hour
