16、a good job.However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This years 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 po
17、ints out that many people already working are getting laid off and dont have jobs, so its 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 (“dot com“) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, an
18、d they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. Its 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 v
19、acations, 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 in stead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teache
20、r. 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.

Her daughter says, “I was feeling. like down and sad and even tho
25、ugh I didt 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
26、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
27、 study. They think that Wallerstein stresses too much from a small study. Other things may be the cause of the kids problems. The study does not compare kids from divorced families with kids from “healthy“ families.Wallersteins families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed. People feel diff
28、erent a bout divorce. Today programs like Kids Turn try to reduce some of the effects of divorce with family advice. Talking about their feelings helps the kids get through it. Since they know more about the problems, maybe the kids will be able to handle it.31 Which word can best describe the kids

32、k about their problems 35 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 Soldiers, Why They Choose to Fight by Rachel Brett and Irma Spe
33、cht, 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 understand the young who take up arms, Brett and Specht inte
34、rviewed 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
35、is “I joined involuntarilyif you have nothing, you volunteer for the army“. Other reasons young people gave are self-defense, revenge, poverty, and un employment.But while it is common knowledge that most child soldiers come from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds, Young Soldiers shows that the issu
36、e is far more complex. Many poor children do not join the army. The environmental, educational, social, cultural, and highly personal factors deter mine whether someone decides to join up or not.The battlefield is not a place for children. One young soldier described being there as “too sad an exper
37、ience“. The authors hope that by understanding why teenagers join up, those child soldiers should know how to discourage others from the same tragedy.36 Young Soldiers, Why They Choose to Fight is _.（A）a book（B） a magazine（C） a news report（D）a TV program 37 According to Paragraph 3, Brett and Specht
38、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 38 The reasons shown in Young Soldiers for children to join the army are _. （A）very simple（B） very complex（C） unknown（D）unbelievable 39 The
39、writers of Young Soldiers probably expect that _.（A）child soldiers 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 40 The tone of the passage is _.（A）pleasant（B） indifferent（C） humorous（D）objectiv
40、e 40 Its 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 “
41、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 you
42、r inclusion in unwanted “cc“ lists (抄送名单).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
43、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.
44、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 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
45、 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 con trolled by it to the distraction (分心) of more important tasks in my day.41 The passage is about
46、 _. （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 42 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 di
47、fferent lists 43 For the important communications, the writer suggests that you _. （A）have a direct access for them（B） have several e-mails servers for them（C） get an unlisted phone number for them（D）get a special e-mails address for them 44 To avoid being chaincd by the coming e-mails, what you can
48、 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 45 To deal with an e-mails you get, you can do the following EXCEPT _.（A）downloading every e-mail before you reply（B） responding right away if its
49、 urgent（C） scheduling it for later reply if it takes much time（D）asking someone else to reply it if its not at your convenience 四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.
