time professors can remember, large numbers of freshmen were arriving with enough knowledge of the chinese language to start in second- or third-year chinese language class, rather than basic chinese.the american interest in china is not just at the university level. in the 2006 school year, high-school students will be offered an advanced placement test, which is one of the national exams

school students take.what is surprising is that earlier last year, an organization that tracks university students surveyed high schools throughout america, asking if they planned to offer the language courses that prepare students for the language advanced placement test. they expected that only a hundred high schools, mostly in california, new york, and a few other places with large immigrant populations, would show interest in each of the new language programs. although that was true for the courses in italian, russian and japanese, it was not true for the chinese language course. there were thousands of american high schools that indicated that they planned to build their chinese programs to levels where students could take the advanced placement exam for chinese language. the demand for courses in chinese is rising so rapidly that it is rapidly overtaking all other foreign languages except spanish.41. according to the passage many freshmen at yale university

you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the jobsearch chain.the resumemake sure it is uptodate and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. have someone else look at your resume. if you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interview.covering lettersmaybe youve set up a few basic styles in advance, but thats not enough. each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.the wardrobe(衣橱)check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interviews.networkingdont isolate yourself from others for days. network through email messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from becoming depressed.applicationa glance at huge online job sites isnt usually the best way to find a job. you are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.the followupit is quite common to apply for a job but never hear back from the company. take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. if you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.interviewsif

try to find a job group or service that conducts free mock(模拟) interviews.support systemsfinally, recognize that looking for a job is rather difficult. even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. staying in touch with families, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.6. the authors purpose of writing this text is to_.asuggest graduates should find suitable jobsbtell people how to improve their interviewing skillsc
