People can find jobs in many ways. Sometimes you can find a job easily, by walking into a local store and looking at its notice board(布告欄). Local stores often have areas for people to put small signs telling the services that they need or they can provide.  Such services include looking after children or cleaning houses.

     Another popular tool for finding a job is the Internet. For example, people around the world can

 use the Craigslist Web site to buy things, meet people or find a job. It is said that the site can receive two million new jobs each month.

     Another useful way to find a job is through a university. For example, students at the University

of Texas can go to the job center to get help. Many college students like this way better.

     At times, some experts(專業(yè)人士)can also help people find a job. Susan Miller has her own company called California Job Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find a job by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods to help them find the right job.

    We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process(變化過程) helps you deal with culture shock(文化沖擊).

    Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon period". This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.

    Unluckily, the second period can be more difficu1t.  After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.

    The third period is called the "adjustment(調(diào)整) period". This is When you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor(善于求生者).

     The fourth period can be cal1ed "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language,but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.

6  According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you

   A. get married to a foreigner             B. live in a big city

   C. go to live in a foreign country         D. meet foreigners in your motherland

7  During the first period of the process, you feel

   A. sad and lonely                     B. happy and excited

   C. angry but strong                   D. easy but uncomfortable

8  You will find that you are a survivor in

   A. the lst period    B. the 2nd period   C. the 3rd period   D. the 4th period

9  The fourth period ean be regarded as a period of being

   A. relaxing         B. worrying        C. tiring           D. adjustable

10  We can conclude(lgth$it) from the passage that

   A. Living in another country is fun        

B. it's boring to live in another country

   C. knowing about culture shock is hard  

D. it's not easy to dea1 withculturshock

Dear Reader,

Imagine an 11-year old girl whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the field.

Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can’t fill her stomach with water because it’s polluted, and who has watched life slip away from her father, little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.

Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.

Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. If Maria grows up without any schooling, what will be her future?

But for just 52 pennies a day, you can sponsor a child like Maria. Through “Save the Children”, you can help Maria’s mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner and the money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.

To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard-working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital…bring in clean water. This is what “Save the Children” has been about since 1932.

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?

In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.

Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.

Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”

People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck!
