As a 20-something myself. I certainly 36 their disappointment: my husband and I probably wont be able to buy a house until were in our 40s, and we too are 37 by student loans(贷款）.But why should it be any 38 ? Being young persons in America, shouldnt they 39 all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers? Consider some of these views shared in the State story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom, apartment with her husband, 40 that she wont be able to have a 41 for at least a decade because they cant afford to buy a house yet. I read that, and I thought, what planet is she living on where you need to own a(n) 42 in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a 43 country. or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury (奢华), not a(n) 44 . A 26-year-old in the story despairs that he cant afford to get a Ph.D. in literature. Well. that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will 45 you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years. Yes, its sad that these young people feel so 46 . But I think the problem is their 47 high expectations, not economic 48 . Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks peoples expectations are slowly 49 .but todays 20-somethings grew up at a time when everyones wealth appeared to be 50 . Their parents probably saw their home values rise 51 , their investments. So you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well 52 .says Kobliner.This recession (衰退) will 53 play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems a lot better for our 54 health to focus on being 55 for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day-than on longing for some kind of luxury life.36.

Regretful四、阅读理解(共10小题:每小题2分，满分20分) A Searching for a job does not happen overnight. It takes a while to find out what you would like to pursue(追求）, matching your qualifications to a job and finding the right location. But even with a specific list. very few job applicants will find a job that suits all of their requirements. What are some ways to go about finding a job that will be right for you? Networking Many people are able to find a job that they like through networking. The advantage of networking is that family or friends will be able to provide an inside knowledge of the job, the pay. an honest opinion of what it is like to work there. They will tell you things that employers may withhold(保留) from a job interview, because they want to create the best possible impression rather than highlight any of the flaws that the company has. An added benefit of networking is that friends and family members can inform you of a job opening soon after it becomes available and then put in a good word for you to their employers. Employers are often favourably disposed to potential employees even before they have arrived for a job interview because their friends or relatives have taken the time to recommend them. Job fairs Job fairs are a great place to start looking for a job when you know what you would like to do. Employers will be on the lookout for capable people who can help to fill position. If you keep up to date with when the next local job fair will be held, you may walk away with a job. Newspaper ads Local newspapers will advertise for jobs in their classified section. Many jobs can now be applied for online, which saves the time and effort of filling in a paper application and putting your resume in the post. Make sure you still follow through with the job application. Do not just apply for the job and then wait for a reply. Fill it in by the date that is listed and then wait a few days and call the company. It is important to be proactive (先发制人的) and show that you are interested in the job. The job will not come to you. Yellow pages It Is possible to find a job by simply reading through the yellow pages, calling companies directly and asking for a job. Some companies do not put out their listings straightaway, which mean you may learn of a job before it has even been advertised. That shows initiation and drive for the job.Finding a job is daunting (使人畏缩的)but with a little forethought and preparation. you need not take too long to find a suitable job.56 . The purpose of this article is to . A. show how to apply for a job B. show how to succeed in finding a job C. share some information about different jobs that suit us D. show some requirements we should meet when applying for a job57. According to this article. the author probably agrees that . A. lots of work needs to be done if we want to get the right jab B. its not appropriate to call a company if they havent put out their livings straightaway C. when weve applied for a job. what we can do is just wait D. if we have no idea what wed like to do. its better to go to the job fairs58. Its more likely for us to get some hidden information about the job we want to apply for through . A. Networking B. Job fairs C. Newspaper ads D. Yellow pages59.

You arent qualified for the job BXia Pengs dream is to use the best materials and simples methods to help the Chinese people improve their English and the former worldEnglish-speaking champion is realizing his dream thanks to the Chinese social mediaplatform WeChat (微信).Over 16,000 student are learning English on Youlinyouke, an official account on WeChat,founded by Xia. The 32-year-old says he has morethan 10 top teachers in the venture. Xia won the International Public Speaking Competition hosted by theEnglish Speaking Union in the United Kingdom in 2005. In addition towinning many other awards, Xia was much sought after at Chinas biggest English-training school. New Oriental Education and Technology Group. He says WeChat users account for a large chunk of mobile Internet spending. so it was easier to start his program on WeChat rather than on his own app. We think that adult learners English-learning market is definitely online, and mobile terrain is are more and more important. Also, on WeChat we have to invest only a little. he says. Moreover, with WeChat students can study anywhere at any time they want. He says that on WeChat. teachers can. in addition to text, send pictures and videos to students, and also interact with them on WaChat groups. Internet is like a classroom without boundaries. For example. when I teach a book that is about 700 pages, about 6,000 students, are studying at the same time. It is also cheap. as the 700-pape materials and the whole teaching course that takes about 300 hours costs the learners only 500 yuan($77.69 curos) each. It is impossible to have a course like this offline. He says that he has seen many examination-oriented education programs that he dislikes and so teachers in his program have combined different ways of teaching English and then deliver the information in a humorous and interesting way. Our concept is to use the best English materials and simplest English-leaning methods and offer the best teachers. Moreover, we have so many students in the online community they wont feel alone while learning. He says he needs to pay only about 0.5 percent of his income to WeChat and, of course, does not have to spend on rent for physical classrooms, You need to pay to support a platform so that the platform will be able to continuously serve you and innovate. However. he says that there are some special functions, such as live broadcasting, and IPR protection that WeChat cannot offer at the moment. so he is considering starting his own app. But even if we have our own app, we would still be connected to WeChat Ken Chin. a researcher with big data analysis and ratings firm Analysys International. says that starting a business such as e-commerce, services, marketing or media on WeChat has increasingly become a common phenomenon, and WeChat is encouraging more people to do that. He says that the functions that WeChat offers still cannot match what a specific app could offer to startups (创业公司)，but in the future, the gap will definitely decrease.61. Why did Xia Peng start his program on WeChat? A. Because WeChat was founded by him. B. Because it is impossible for him to create an app himself. C. Because therere a large group of potential consumers on WeChat. D. Because it was his dream to start it on WeChat.62. According to Xia, his program on WeChat have all the following adsantages except that A. Teachers can text. send pictures and videos to students and interact with them B. There s live broadcasting for the students to learn better C. There are so many students studying at the same time that students wont feel alone D. Students can learn anywhere at any time they want63. Which factor may not account for the season why Xia started his program on WeChat rather than on his own app at the very beginning? A. The convenience of WeChat. B.
