With many college graduates struggling to find jobs, one of the most important for you to understand is that you're in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning.
I'd like to pass on a few lessons that you didn't necessarily get in school. If you've been out of school for a few years or a lot of years, they could still teach you something.
· Develop relationships and keep networking, if I had to name a single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people I've met, I'd say it is the ability to create and nurture (培育) networks of contacts. Start strengthening your relationships now, so that they'll be in place when you really need them later. In the classroom it was mostly about individual performance. Success in real life requires relationships.
· Set goals. Ask any winner what the key to his or her success was, and you'll hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence, and setting goals. If you don't set goals and determine where you're going, how will you know when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive (激励)to keep you going all day.
· Sense of humor. I'm a firm believer in using humor, though not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps one understand the unconventional(非传统的), tolerate the unpleasant, and overcome the unexpected. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.
· Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life.
67. By saying "your real education is just beginning", the author wants to
A. explain why it's difficult for college graduates to find jobs
B. show the importance of social experience, besides schooling, in education
C. advise students to value their time at school, and to study hard
D. advise college graduates to face bravely the problems they may encounter (遭遇)
68. You should start to strengthen your relationships now because______.
A. it will take you time to develop them before you need them
B. you may have gotten used to being judged as an individual, and need to change
C. successful people have no time to develop relationships with you
D. you need to spend a lot of time learning the importance of good relationships
69. The author believes that being humorous means that you_______.
A. should prepare jokes to be used in various situations
B. can deal with difficult situations in an easy and comfortable way
C. can show your difference from others and be able to succeed
D. should smile all the time and avoid being serious on any occasion
70. The target readers of this passage are probably_______.
A. educational experts
B. people who want to change jobs

D. high school students who are still at school

It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cup had gone away, and my feet hurt. The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve looked after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is like sunlight to human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. and yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold criticism, but are unwilling to give out fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Perhaps that is why one word of praise can bring such pleasure.
It’s strange how chary we are about praising. Perhaps it’s because few of us know how to accept it. It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed.An artist gets admired for a glorious picture,a cook for a perfect meal.But do you ever tell your laundry(洗衣店)manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? In fact,to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort.
60.Which of the following can’t describe the writer’s situation before she got her tip?
A.She was tired. B.She was busy.
C.She was sorry. D.She was confident.
61.According to the passage,which of the following is least likely to be given praise?
A.An artist. B.A cook.
C.A waitress. D.A laundry manager.
62.The underlined word “chary”in Paragraph 2 means
A.cautious B.careful C.unwilling D.greedy
63.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Can You Praise Others? B.Why do You Criticize Others?
C.Be Generous to Give Others Praise! D.Don’t Criticize Others!

Thousands of people in the world are a hundred years old-or more and certain parts of the world are famous for the long lives of their inhabitants: the Vilacamba Valley in Ecuador, and the home of the Hunzas in the Himalayas.
Why do so many people live to a healthy old age in certain parts of the world? What is the secret of their long lives? Three things seem to be very important: fresh air, fresh food and a simple way of life.People work near their homes in the clean mountain air instead of travelling long distances to work by bus, car or train.They do not sit all day in busy offices or factories, but work hard outdoors in the fields.They take more exercise and eat less food than people in the cities of the West.For years the Hunzas of the Himalayas did not need policemen, lawyers or doctors.There was no crime, no divorce and not much illness in their society. They were a happy, peaceful people, famous all over India for their long, healthy lives.
Do you want to live to a hundred years old? Here are some rules for success.Firstly, choose your parents and grandparents carefully.If they lived or live to a good old age, so will you.Secondly, live in the right place.Thirdly, choose the right kind of job.Doctors, dentists and bus-drivers die young.Farmers, priests and orchestral conductors live much longer.If you are in the wrong kind of job, you can still improve your way of life.

Now that the recession(经济衰退)is most likely over, it,s time to start looking at which companies, institutions, and individuals developed well during this unpleasant period. In the downturn that began in December 2007, the recession ruined the wealthiest consumer markets—the united States, Europe, Japan—there were very few safe shelters. But some countries, such as Peru, managed to grow right through the global recession. And some companies arranged their business so that they resisted the contraction and benefited from the trends affecting their industry. Some even managed to bring more business.
Chief among the Great Recession’s winners is McDonald,s. McDonald,s sales growth in 2008 was greater than in 2006 and 2007. While many restaurants reduced their business operation, it opened nearly 600 stores in 2008. And the chain has achieved same-store sales growth in each of 2009,s first seven months.
In 2008, after a decade of severely trading up to higher quality consumer goods and services, Americans began to trade down with a vengeance(报复). McDonald,s, which has 44 percent of its 32,000 stores in the United States, was set up to profit from trading down in two ways. First, in a recession, people eat out less and at home more frequently. And when they eat out, they eat at cheaper places. McDonald,s is so cheap, efficient, and convenient that it was a practical alternative to casual restaurants like Ruby Tuesday.
In the United States, McDonald,s may be a cheap source of calories in food. In other parts of the world, McDonald,s is an appealing brand, identified with middle-class, westernized consumerism. Much of the world, such as China, India, is still not developed for the Golden Arches. Coincidentally, these are the right places where its business has continued to grow during the global recession. While it faces operational challenges in markets, McDonald,s has benefited form a weakening dollar and rising incomes in Asia.
The question now for investors(投资者)is whether McDonald,s can survive the recovery. When people feel better-off, will they still stop by? The growth in same-store sales in the United States has come down a little in recent months. And there,s a rising amount of the population that has grown accustomed to eating healthier and better. Going forward, McDonald,s may face larger cultural barriers in the United States than in China.
64.From the passage we can infer that in the recession.
A.the developing countries grew wealthier
B.the rich countries became unable to recover
C.the Western companies suffered a great loss
D.the opportunities were brought as well as challenges
65.McDonald,s managed to remain popular in the recession mainly because of .
A.its good operation B.the American food culture
C.its low price and convenience D.the weak value of dollars
66.The underlined word “contraction” in Paragraph I means .
A.formal written agreement B.influence on industry
C.disappointing management D.process of reduced trade
67.What can be the best title for this passage?
A.Who Won the Recession
B.Who Traded down in the Recession
C.How Western Business Survived the Recession
D.How McDonald‘s Kept Growing after the Recession
