The figures are an encouraging sign for the unemployed.The Labor Department said Tuesday that job openings rose 1 percent to a seasonally adjusted 3.93 million. That is the highest figure since March 2008, three months after the Great Recession (萧条) began.And the number of workers who quit rose 2.5 percent to 2.39 million, the most since October 2008. More workers quitting can signal a healthy job market, because most of those people likely either have a new job or are confident they can find one.Total hiring, though, slipped 2.6 percent to 4.5 million after reaching a five-year high in September. Still, overall hiring has risen 5.2 percent in the past year.More hiring, job openings and quits point to a more dynamic job market. That trend creates more opportunities for people out of work or looking for a new job.Another positive sign in the report: Layoffs (临时解雇) plunged 16 percent to 1.47 million, the lowest level on records dating to 2001. Still, while fewer layoffs are welcome, businesses need to step up hiring to more quickly reduce the still-high unemployment rate of 7 percent.Job openings remain just below the 4 million figure that is thought to be consistent with a healthy job market.The job market remains competitive, even though the competition is easing. There were 2.9 unemployed people, on average, for each available job in October. Thats down from a ratio (比率) of nearly 7 to 1 in July 2009, just after the recession ended. In a healthy economy, the ratio is typically 2 to 1.Other recent reports show that businesses are adding jobs at a solid, steady pace. Employers added 203,000 positions in November, the government said Friday. The unemployment rate fell to a five-year low of 7 percent. Job gains have now averaged about 200,000 for the past four months.Those figures reflect net payroll gains the number of people hired minus those who were laid off, quit or retired. Tuesdays report on job openings and labor turnover provides more details than the monthly employment report. 39. How long did the Great Recession last according to the passage?A. About one year.B. About one and a half years.C. About five years.D. About eight and a half years.40. We can infer from the passage that _.A. over 200,000 jobs might be provided in DecemberB. over three people compete for one job nowadaysC. October saw more people unemployed than SeptemberD. 1.47 million people were unemployed in 200141. What does the passage lead the readers to believe?A. The US has a healthy economy now.B. The US has a satisfying unemployment rate now.C. The US is bringing back its economy now. D. The US is changing its employment policy now. C Charles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours. Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtors prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life. He was a social reformer, says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor (悲惨). And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable (易受攻击的) children - characters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist: With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant (幼儿) days. Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed after him. Wretched as were the little panions in，misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had. His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered being an actor. When he was actually writing, he became his characters, says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the words - do the expressions, grimaces (嵬脸), whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down. Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carreys voicing of the same character in Disneys 2009, 3-D animated film. The original 1843 manuscript（手稿） of A Christmas Carolis on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from Old Marleys Ghost to Marleys Ghost. Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section. He realizes hes not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this, Kiely explains. Hes got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas. Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.来源:zz&s*% Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a ic talent and a social reformer, Dickens achievement was extraordinary, says novelist T.C. Boyle, who eamed a doctorate in Victorian literature. He achieved what any great artist achieves - a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. Thats what we all hope for, says Boyle. But Dickens greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer: People think of him as a cheerful man . but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And thats worth knowing. I think its always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama.42. What can probably be reflected in Dickens works? A.
