missing in the morning. i was sad and searched everywhere for it. but it seemed to have disappeared. eventually, i gave up and stopped looking for it. and two years later, we sold the house and moved away.years passed, and a couple of moves later, i was visiting my parents when mum told me that she had something for me. it was not my birthday, nor was it easter or christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. mum noticed my questioning look. “youll recognize this one,” she said, smiling.then she handed me a small ring box. i took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.the family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. when they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. as it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. theyd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. and it still fits

resources at chongqing university of science and technology, who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting. yangs story has captured media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates, who are seeking jobs and eking out meager livings in the countrys wealthiest cities. they have diplomas rather than professional skills and scramble to metropolises in hopes of better lives only to find low-paying jobs and miserable living conditions. they are chinas ant tribe（蚁族）, a term coined by sociologist lian si in his 2009 book, ant tribe, “theyre so similar to ants. they share small and narrow living areas. theyre intelligent and hardworking, yet anonymous and underpaid.” the term, sociologists have said, also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the concrete jungle - only the strongest survive. a survey in lians another book published this year, ant tribe ii, found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities-almost three times last years percentage. most had degrees in popular majors. in addition, 7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a masters degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009. an “ants” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan ($286), with about 64 percent of them earning fewer than 2,000 yuan a month. another survey in the 2010 annual report on the development of chinese talent, released by the social sciences academic press in june, found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities. “most ants are from rural（农村）families or small towns, and their experiences in ordinary universities didnt arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities employment markets,” professor at renmin university of china zhang ming said. the “ant tribes” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduated form big cities. zhang believed. however, “ants expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them in positive mindsets despite their situations.36. yangs story is introduced in order to _.aanalyze graduates difficulties in finding jobs blead

no diplomas from good universitiesbtheir majors do not meet the needs of societycthose from rural areas are not treated equallydthey do not have necessary professional skills38. “ant tribe” members are similar to ants in the following aspects except that _.athey live in narrow and small places in groups bthey work hard but earn little for survivalcthey are in a world judged by the jungle lawdthey are pleased with being nameless and underpaid39. professor zhang thought “ants” problems could be solved by _.acreating more jobs for graduates in big cities bdeveloping smaller cities to
