17、in the device. The company paid him forty thousand dollars for his effort. That was a lot of money for the time. This large amount of money permitted Mr. Edison to start his own company.

24、y ask him to pay taxes on them. Some people try to hide the valuables they have with them so that they will not have to pay these taxes. But customs inspectors are hard to fool.Inspector Joseph Koehler has worked for the US Customs Service for years. One day a group of passengers arrived on a flight

25、 from Belgium.Koehler took special notice of one of the women among them. At first he did not know what made him pick her out of them the womans baggage was made of a purse and two suitcases. She showed no sign of fear when Koehler opened them. Yet Koehler could not rid himself of the feeling that s

26、omething was wrong.Suddenly he knew what it was. The woman was too tall. This womans height didnt seem right somehow. Then it was found that the bottom parts of her shoes were filled with something.The inspector opened them. A handful of diamonds fell out on the floor. More jewels were found under a

31、at you are supposed to be doing with your life.At CareerP we believe that each individual, regardless of （不管） race or religion, has a purpose in life, and until you discover what your purpose is, you will not find true happiness, nor true job satisfaction.This doesnt mean you wont be successful.

50、; for job hunters, its the hiring manager.

51、 competitors stand out among singers who may be equally good.In the real world, the right skills, education and experience still make ones ability different or memorable. But its important for the job hunter to present “something special” that he or she has to offer. A recent survey suggests that ma
