As I was reading a recent story in State on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy

- 3 -

was ruining their life plans, I couldn't help but think the 20-somethings sounded like a bunch of spoiled children who grew up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself. I certainly 36 their disappointment: my husband and I probably won't be able to buy a house until we're 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, shouldn't 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 won't be able to have a 41 for at least a decade because they can't 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 can't 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, it's 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 people's expectations are slowly 49 .but today's 20-somethings grew up at a time when everyone's wealth appeared to be 50 . Their parents probably saw their home values rise 51 , their investments. \you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well 52 .\

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. A. believe B. blame C.share D. praise 37. A. burdened B. bothered C. surrounded D. covered 39. A. important B. convenient C. difficult D. different 39. A. take in B. take over C. take up D. take off 40. A. worries B. announces C. disagrees D. annoys 41. A. pet B. child C. job D. car 42. A. apartment B. house C. office D. company 43. A. developing B. developed C. wealthy D. modern

44. A. argument B. agreement C. achievement D. requirement 45. A. offer B. hire C. pay D. praise 46. A. surprised B. lost C. absorbed D. satisfied 47.

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.

If you haven't heard or seen anything about road rage(路怒症) in the last few months. you've probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon. and you have most likely run into aggressive driving or road rage recently if you drive at all. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association. 41.907 people died on the highways last year. Of those deaths. the agency estimates that about two-thirds, were caused at

least in part by aggressive driving behavior.

Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories. One suggestion is overcrowding. In the last decade. the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11%. and the number of miles driven has increased by 35%. However. the number of new road miles has only increased by 1%. That means more cars in the same amount of space. Also, people have less time, but more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.

Whether you are getting angry at other drivers. or another driver is upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are susceptible (easily influenced) to road rage. the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way.

1. Keep your driving environment calm. Creating a positive driving environment will help keep you calm and you are mom likely to pay no attention to the road rage of other For example you can listen to music that makes you happy.

2. Allow yourself plenty of time. Being late will make you anxious and impatient, so you'll

be more likely to get angry at other drivers make irresponsible driving decisions that will make them angry at you. Leaving yourself plenty of drive time will help you stay relaxed.

3. Be a polite driver. Allow other drivers m pus you or gel over into your lane if needed. Helping other drivers will pot you and them in a more peaceful state of mi d and following the rules of the toad will keep you safe.

4. Avoid confrontation(对抗） If an angry driver yells at you or shares a rude gesture out of his or her window, don't make eye contact or yell back. Keep your eyes on the road and ignore the angry driver. Fighting and driving angrily is dangerous to both of you as well as the other drivers and will only make things worse.

Road Rage It's estimated that in the last year, about two-thirds of the Present (106) deaths on the high way (107) from aggressive driving behavior at least in part.
