In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievements and confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.

However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of san Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.

Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. There were many high-tech (“dotcom”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. It’s a new market.” according to an officer of the university.

The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.

Even teaching is not a secure profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher, but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.

In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.

1. What did a college degree mean to people in the past? A. It was a proof of their professional skills. B. It would guarantee their quick promotion. C. It built up their confidence in the job market. D. It would help them to start an academic career. 2. Ryan Stewart has not got any job offer because_______. A. there are too many graduates of his major B. he wants to find a job with very high salary C. he has not received a degree in the university D. the job market has changed greatly since 2002

3. According to the passage, _______ had the best job prospects in 2002. A. computer science B. accounting C. teaching D. nursing 4. Why does Ryan Stewart want to be a college teacher? A. Teaching jobs are well-paid.

B. He majored in teaching in the university.

C. College teaching is less challenging than high-tech jobs. D. College teaching career won’t be influenced by economy. 5. It can be concluded from the passage that _______. A. the value of a college degree has decreased now. B. new college graduates today can’t find jobs. C. a college degree can still lead to a good job. D. graduates must prepare early to find jobs. Passage Three

Shoron Keating was worried about her kids when she got a divorce. Her daughter says, “ I was feeling ? like down and sad even though I didn’t really show it.

Judith Wallerstein says problems from divorce can last many years. They can show up when the kids are adults. And the kids have their own trouble. Wallerstein studied 93 children over a generation. The results can be found in her book.

She says that children of divorce are more likely to have problems with drugs. They are far more likely to seek therapy. About 40 percent of them avoid marriage themselves. When they do marry, fail at nearly twice the usual rate. It is hard for them to trust. They are afraid of failing. Critics say Wallerstein had too few children in her study. They think that Wallerstein stresses too much from a small study. Other things may be the cause of the kid’s problem. The study does

not compare kids from divorced families with kids from “healthy” families.

Wallerstein’s families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed. People feel different about divorce. Today programs like Kid’s Turn try to reduce some of the effects of divorce with family advice. Talking about their feelings helps the kids get though it. Since they know more about the problem, maybe the kids will be able to handle it.

1. Which word can best describe the kids from divorced families according to Paragraph 1? A. Offensive B. Relieved C. Depressed D. Prejudiced 2. Children from divorced families who marry later will ______. A. have no trust in other people B. be more likely to get divorced C. firmly protect their marriage D. have stable marriage

3. Wallerstein’s study showed that ______. A. divorce left the children with many problems B. all the problems showed up right after the divorce C. divorce could be avoided

D. divorce is the only cause of children mature earlier 4. Which of the following is critics’ opinion? A. Healthy families do not have problems.

B. All the related factors were considered in the study. C. Divorce is the only cause of child problems. D. The number of families studied was not sufficient. 5. Today children from divorced families______. A. have no more problems

B. are getting more care and help

C. are less able to handle their problems D. are told not to talk about their problems Passage Four

It is still sometimes difficult to understand why those between ages 10 and 18 would endanger their lives by joining armed forces or rebel groups and become fighting soldiers. The recently published book, Young Soldier, Why They Choose to Fight By Rachel Brett and Irma Specht, tries to find an answer.

There is no doubt that children fight in most armed conflicts today. While international attention focuses largely on those who are forced into battles, thousands more enlist (应征入伍) voluntarily.

In an attempt to to understand the young who take up arms, Brett and Specht interviewed 53

boy and girl soldiers and ex-soldiers from around the world, Afghanistan , Colombia, the Republic of the Congo for example. All interviewees were involved with armed forces or armed groups before the age of 18 and all classified themselves as volunteers.

What these two field officers heard is “I joined involuntarily- if you have nothing, you volunteer for the army”. Other reasons young people gave are self- defense, revenge, poverty, and unemployment.

But while it is common knowledge that most child soldiers come from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds, Young Soldiers shows that the issue is far more complex. Many poor children do not join the army. The environmental, educational, social, cultural, and highly personal factors determine whether someone decide to join up or not.

The battlefield is not a place for children. One young soldier described being there as “too sad an experience”. The authors hope that by understanding why teenagers join up, those child soldiers should know how to discourage others from the same tragedy. 1. Young Soldiers, Why They Choose to Fight is ______.

A. a book B. a magazine C. a news report D. a TV program 2. According to paragraph 3, Brett and Specht’s interviewees _______. A. joined armed forces under 18

B. considered going into the army their duty C. were only from African countries D. were mainly the ex-soldiers

3. The reasons shown in young soldiers for children to join the army are______. A. very simple B. very complex C. unknown D. unbelievable 4.The writers of Young Soldiers probably expect that ______. A. child soldier would leave armed forces B. they could find more than 53 interviewees C. no more children would join armed forces D. there would be no wars in the world 5. The tone of the passage is ______.

A. pleasant B. indifferent C. humorous D. objective Passage Five

It’s interesting that technology often works as a servant for us, yet frequently we become a servant to it. E-mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new vehicle. The average businessperson is getting about 80-e-mails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their “In Box” are of little or no value.

So, I have four suggestions to help you to become better at “Easing E-mail”.

1.Get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of unwanted e-mails, ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include

your inclusion in unwanted “cc” lists.

2.“Unlisted address”. Just like getting an “unlisted” telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to give direct access, you might want to get a separate e-mail address only for the important communications you wish to receive.

3.Check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server, monitoring incoming email on a continuous basis. Maybe this is because e-mail creates its own sense of urgency, but most of the communications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.

4.Deal with it. As you open each e-mail do one of the following: a.If it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.

b.If it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.

c.If it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, schedule it for action in your Day Planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action. I personally receive approximately 250 e-mails per day and by practicing the suggestions above, I can handle that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to the distraction of more important tasks in my day. 1. The passage is about ______. A. how to check e-mails B. how to collect e-mails

C. how to deal with your daily e-mails D. how to deal with 80% valueless e-mails

2. If you get unwanted e-mails, the best you can do is to______. A. make a list of them B. put them into “cc” lists C. send them to a special address D. delete them from different lists

3. For the important communications, the writer suggests that you______. A. have a direct access for them B. have several e-mail servers for them C. get an unlisted phone number for them D. get a special e-mail address for them

4. To avoid being chained by the coming e-mails, what you can do is to ______. A. respond urgent ones only

B. reply all of them at the same time C. handle them a couple of times daily

D. keep replying e-mails all day long

5. To deal with an e-mail you get, you can do the following EXCEPT______. A. downloading every e-mail before you reply B. responding right away if it’s urgent

C. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much time

D. asking someone else to reply it if it’s not at your convenience Passage Six

During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp who, apparently though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.

However ridiculous that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantages of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seem to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are.

Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully, and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and on television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas, too.

1.The tramp was locked in the store ______.

A. for 7 days B. on purpose C. by accident D. for security reasons 2. It can be inferred from the passage that the underlined phrase “dead beat” in paragraph 1 means ______. A. angry B. exhausted C. forgetful D. careless 3. Which of the following was uncertain about the tramp after he was locked in the store? A. He watched TV. B. He was well fed. C. he had a sound sleep D. He had a good drink. 4. When the tramp was arrested, he ______.

A. was drunk B. felt he deserved it C. made no resistance D. felt himself wronged 5. The judge didn’t award compensation to the chain store because ______. A. the store was responsible for what happened B. the report of the event benefited the store a lot C. the tramp had stolen nothing of value D. the tramp was penniless

Passage Seven

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.

Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slow down.

He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations. Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.

Contraction of front and side parts - as cells die off - was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.

Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction - using the head.

The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains are as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.

Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculator.” 1.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out ______. A.how people’s brains shrink

B.the way of making people live longer C.the size of certain people’s brains D.why certain people aged sooner than others

2.Faulkner’s research findings are based on ______. A.a survey of farmers in northern Japan B.tests performed on a thousand old people

C.the study of the brain volumes of different people D.the latest development of computer technology 3.The professor’s tests show that ______. A.our brains shrink as we grow old

B.the front section of the brain does not shrink

C.seventy-year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-olds
