Exited about landing your first job after graduation? Good, work hard and get learning. Don’t forget to listen to young professional’s advice about the “real world” you’re stepping into.

    1. Keep up with current events.

    In school, it’s easy to live in a cocoon, where you focus on studies and social life. But in the working world, not knowing who Alan Greenspan is or why North Korea is in the news so often can lead to potentially embarrassing conversations.

    2. Consider living with parents, even if you have a job.

    Think it over before you rule it out. Not only can you save a lot of money by living at home, but your parents may provide emotional support that you may need. They can help pave the way for you to move once you are settled into your new life.

    3. Don’t compare yourself to other people your age.

    Young adults are good at putting up impressive appearance, but you don’t really know what their lives are like. Those who seem to have the perfect job may spend part of the day making coffee and picking up boss’s dry-cleaning.

    4. Pay attention to small jobs as well as big ones.

    Don’t stress if, in your first job or internship(實習期), you get a lot more face time with the copy machine than with clients. You may wonder why you spent so much time studying in school only to do such tasks. But you may also be learning more about your new professional than you realize.

    5. Know when it’s time to move on.

Give a new job a chance, perhaps a year, before you make up your mind to leave, especially if it’s your first job out of school. When you’re sure that the job isn’t for you, figure out what you want to do and how to do it. Zhang Yue, 26, spent three years working as an accountant in Shanghai before becoming a financial planner. He loves his new job and spent 10 months searching for it: “To find something you really want to do takes time.”

1. By mentioning Alan Greenspan, the author wants to show ____.

   A. how he succeeded 

   B. why he is important to the world nowadays

   C. it is necessary to know key figures

   D. he has a strong effect on the world

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Comparing yourself to other people your age will make you harmed.

  B. If you don’t have impressive appearance, you can’t pick up boss’ dry-cleaning.

  C. What you have learned in school may come to nothing in your first job.

   D. Even a small job can do good.

3. The last sentence means “____”.

  A. It’s easy to find a new job once you have experience

  B. If you hope to do something, you need suffer too much

C. You needn’t be worried, even though you are trying to find a good job

  D. It will take you time to find a job that suits you well

At the beginning of my 8:00 a.m. class one Monday at UNLV（拉斯維加斯內(nèi)華達大學）, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been very good. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,” I said to the young man. “I choose to be cheerful.”
“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson. One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”
“As soon as I got there, the secretary in the Provost’s office asked me what had happened. ‘This is my lucky day’, I replied, smiling.”
“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“I live seventeen miles from here. I replied. My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.”
【小題1】If you want to be cheerful you should ___________.

A．try to succeed in doing everythingB．try to please your boss every day
C．earn a lot of money by workingD．choose to be cheerful every day
【小題2】The underlined phrase “turn over” in the third paragraph means “________”
A．roll overB．work normallyC．stopped suddenlyD．move around
【小題3】According to this passage we can infer that the teacher’s car broke down ____.
A．near UNLVB．a(chǎn)long the highway
C．near HendersonD．a(chǎn)t the community college
【小題4】Which one of the following is TRUE?
A．The teacher taught not only at UNLV but also at the community college.
B．That was the teacher’s lucky day because the teacher liked walking.
C．The teacher always hoped that the car would break down often.
D．The young man was sad because his car broke down.
