30、nections.Valuable Internship OpportunityA fundamental part of the MSA program is the professional internship (实习), a nine-week paid position that provides hands-on experience. Internships are for those students who enter the MSA program without a post-MSA job offer.Proven OutcomesWe consistently ach

31、ieve a 100% employment rate and historically high CPA (注册会计师) pass rates. Students typically receive multiple job offers, allowing them to launch careers with competitive salaries at major regional, national and international accounting and finance firms.“Wake Forest students are exceptional. We are

32、 so fortunate to hire these students for their work ethic, career enthusiasm, team focus and their high level of professionalism”, said Melissa Miller, Campus Development Manager, KPMG International.56.

This means that life can be hard for intro

35、verted people. Their talents and abilities are often not recognized. Some people often try to make introverts more outgoing. They think that being an introvert is a problem. But there is nothing wrong about being an introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of meeting and talking to others. T

36、hey simply prefer to spend time on their own, away from the crowds. They like reading, writing and taking walks in the countryside. But extroverts need other people. If they spend a lot of time on their own, they get bored. They tend to be impulsive and talk a lot. Our society puts a lot of pressure

37、 on people to be extrovert, to be outgoing and self-confident on every occasion.

This seeme

39、why are you being so quiet? The second time I took out a book, the counselor(辅导员) came to see me. She told me to remember the camp spirit and that it was important to be outgoing.” At work, extroverts often do well. At job interviews, it is usually good to appear extrovert. It suggests that you will

40、 be good at the job. But it is wrong to think that only extroverts are good leaders. Introverts work in different ways to extroverts, but they can still do really great things. Darwin, for example, was a quiet, family man. He often took long walks so that he could think clearly. But Darwins ideas ab

And while phones typically have great built-in photography apps, many other options can be easier or expand your range.ProCamera is an excellent option for iOS devices. Using this

45、app feels like raising a single-lens reflex camera(单反相机) to your eye. With a few taps on the screen, you can display a grid to help compose a shot properly and a guide to warn if your composition is tilted(倾斜的). You can also control the white balance and bring up a live histogram(直方图) that shows how

46、 strong the colors in the final photo will be. There are quick-access buttons to shoot in video, photo, high dynamic range or other modes and theres even a bar code scanner option. Most impressive is ProCameras anti-shake feature, which waits for you to stop moving before it activates the shutter. I

47、n the settings menu, you can control most of the apps features and select how much compression is applied to the final saved images. In other words, the app gives users professional-level control of an image.Because of its complexity, ProCamera takes a while to get used to, and the exact features de

48、pend on which iPhone you have. The app costs $5 and some features, like a low-light mode to help shoot better pictures at night, are upgrades that cost a few dollars each. Its definitely worth it.On Android, one app equivalent to ProCamera is Camera FV-5. This app also feels like using a single-lens

49、 reflex camera, with similar manual control. Camera FV-5 includes features like a live histogram, burst-mode shooting, exposure bracketing and time-lapse imagery. It also offers choices over the kind of files it saves to your device, and has a comprehensive settings page. Unlike some other Android c

50、amera apps, Camera FV-5 has a professional-looking and easy-to-use interface.

55、ery clichs(老生常谈) into the mix. The hero, A.J. Fikry, lost his beloved wife Nic in a road accident. The sales of his bookstore have been decreasing. The enthusiastic new sales representative Amelia wont stop annoying him with new books. His rare and very valuable first edition has gone missing.
