24、t he thinks about it. I ' ll apologize in advance because he will also likely challenge you on information or facts which he feels are not quite right especially when it ' s a topic he is hooked on. He is not being impolite and he isn ' t just being a know -it-all, or a show-off, he is r

25、eally just very excited to be learning about a subject he feels strong about. He just gets carried away!Last year, he was teased about looking like a know-it-all in school by some of his classmates, which hurts him A LOT. Being teased is part of his fear of going back to school. He fears being calle

26、d a show-off at school and he feels like he doesn' tfit in. His teacher said he often kept to himself and chose to work alone. I know as a teacher, you are incredibly busy, but could you keep an eye out for anyone teasing him or if he seems to be keeping to himself too much?Lastly, his therapist

27、 （理疗师） mentioned that because of the teasing and maybe because he was bored last year in school, he is showing signs of becoming an underachiever. Please let me know if his grades start slipping.Thank you for taking the time to read and understand about my child. Don thesitate to call or email me if

28、 there are any problems with him at school. Believe me, we know very well how sensitive, emotional and intense he can be.I hope you have a wonderful school year!Sincerely,Mom of a Gifted Child41.

31、aring refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job.

If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of th

32、e job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional (常规的 ) part-time work because it occursmainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.Job sharing should not be confused with

33、the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to pro

34、vide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, most job sharers are women.

Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back in

36、to full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs.

37、weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones.

If you are in one of these gr

42、oups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work.

43、ish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing.

Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well.Did you work during college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization?If so, and if you enjoyed

48、these activities, seek out related careers. If you volunteered with a non-profit organization such as a homeless or domestic violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim advocacy（辩护）.You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.Although it o

49、ften seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn ' t the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career o ptions as well. If you don' t know what career options toconsider based on your major, talk to your faculty or acade
