end with commercials 商业广告 thrown in every three or for minutes The commercials are unavoidable They happen whether you want them or not Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window Buy Super Clean Toothpaste Drink Good Wet Root Beer Fill up with Pacific Gas Only if you sleep which is equal to turning the television set off are you spared the unending cry of You Need It Buy It Now The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting even if you ve traveled that way before Usually some things have changed new houses new buildings sometimes even a new road The bus driver has a style of driving and it s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so If the driver is particularly reckless 鲁莽的 or daring the ride can be as thrilling 惊心 动魄 as a suspense story will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane After a while of course the excitement dies down Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride Food always makes bus rides more interesting But you ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning You know it will soon be over and there s a kind of expectation and excitement in that The seat of course has become harder as the hours have passed By now you have sat with your legs crossed with your hands

Railway High speed CRH Series This marks that China has joined a leading world club after Japan France and Germany to become the fourth country capable of turning out such high speed trains Previously China s fastest self developed trains ran at a service speed of up to 250 km per hour Those trains which presented to public on April 18 served the Beijing Harbin Beijing Shanghai and Beijing Guangdong routes The new streamlined train was made of aluminum alloy 铝合金 The train body was the lightest of its kind in the world Such a design was for the sake of energy economization The train s power was 12 7 kilowatts lower than other high speed trains which was normally about 15 kilowatts The new train which features a bar in the dinner car and double faced LCD TV screens in the first class cars was equipped with shock absorbers between carriages As the train is running at a high speed the shock absorbers are used to reduce shocking force and rocking of the train body A train with eight carriages could seat about 600 passengers They were expected to run on the 115 km Beijing Tianjin route starting from August before the Beijing Olympic Games It would reduce the journey time from the current 80 minutes to around 39 minutes 46 From the 1st paragraph we learn that A the latest model of CRH Series ran at a service speed of up to 250 km per hour B China became the fourth

will you do Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices They have invested a lot of money for their diploma 文凭 and now an important question stares them in the face I have seen so many new 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 unfortunately no one hired her Why No experience Failing to do some solid career exploration first to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do is a big error that many college students make After our suggestions Dave and Allison both found their jobs to ensure 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 Don t rely on the Internet Networking is an effective tool be sure it s a job hunting strategy you use New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4 of job seekers found their jobs 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 It s deadly to let employers focus quickly on 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 friends 50 What 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 51 In order to be well prepared for the interview you d 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 52 According 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 53 For Alison 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 D A Tight Situation Sometimes funny memories are the best special way to remember a beloved lover It helps 6 take away some of the feeling of loss Before he passed away my husband loved to share this story with our friends Now it makes a smile to share this story with you Our neighbor s son was getting married in 1971 at a church and we were invited We immediately rushed out for the store and I bought a nice dress with a jacket The dress was a little tight but I had a month before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds June 29 came and of course I had not lost a single pound in fact I had gained two But I thought a new girdle 健美裤 would solve my problem So on our way to the wedding we stopped once again at the store I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large girdle The clerk found the box with the described girdle marked L and asked if I would like to try it on Oh no large will fit just right I won t need to try it on The next morning was hot so I waited to get dressed until about forty five minutes before time to go I opened the girdle box only to find a new 49 95 girdle in a size small Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn t fit right without a girdle a fight broke out between me and the girdle Have you ever tried to shake twenty pounds of potatoes into a five pound bag Finally my husband laughing like crazy got hold of each side and shook me down into it and I was ready to go As we walked into the church he asked if I could make it Now he was getting worried because I was breathing funny I told him that I would It lasted one hour twenty two minutes and eight and one half seconds and the minister blessed everything except my girdle My knees were blue and my legs lost all the feeling My husband was asking questions and trying to comfort me As soon as the minister pronounced them married I rushed out with my husband Please just get me out of here I said We ran out to our car and once there he opened the front and back passenger doors against the next car Right there before God human and the wedding party I took off that girdle When the girdle flew out of my hand and landed under the car next to ours my husband was laughing so hard and we drove away Over the years he and I had wondered what the people of that church
