20、can.

21、lways doing more than his share talks of “duties“ : he feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not society to the individual.

23、ng run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurt. He blames everyone and everything except himself.

24、ecomes one of the unsatisfied members of the society he lives in.If you want something done in a hurry, dont go to the man who has clearly not much to do.

25、know, particularly if you are sure that he has not a spare minute in the week.

Use every possible method to get interviews-answering ads, using search firms, contacting companies directly, surfing the Web, and networkin
30、g. Even if a job is not perfect for you, every interview can make you learn from it. Follow up! Even if someone does not hire you, write them a thank-you note for the interview. Then, some weeks later, send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that y
31、ou will be available to interview again if the original position you applied foror any other position, for that matteris open. Do this with every position you interview for, and you may just catch a break! Make it your full-time job. You cant find a job by looking infrequently. You have to make time
32、 for it. If youre unemployed and looking for a job, devote as much time as you would to a full-time job. If you have a job while youre looking, figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time. Network vertically(纵向地). In the research phase of your job hunt, talk to people who are on
33、 a level above you in your desired industry. Theyll have some insights that people at your own level wont have, and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired.

38、st submit a proposal to the IOC. After all proposals have been submitted, the IOC votes. If no city is successful in gaining a majority in the first vote, the city with the fewest votes is eliminated, and voting continues, with successive rounds, until a majority winner is determined. Typically the
39、Games are awarded several years in advance, allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games. In selecting the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors, chief among them which city has, or promises to build, the best facilities, and which organizing committee seems mos
40、t likely to stage the Games effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games. For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Mexico City, the host of the 1968 Summer Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia and in La
41、tin America. Because of the growing importance of television worldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken in account the host citys time zone. Whenever the Games take place in the United States or Canada, for example, American television networks are willing to pay significantly higher amounts
42、for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live, in prime viewing hours. Once the Games have been awarded, it is the responsibility of the local organizing committeenot the IOC or the NOC of the host citys countryto finance them. This is often done with a portion of the Olympic
43、television revenues and with corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, and other smaller revenue sources, such as commemorative postage stamps or proceeds from a national lottery. In many cases there is also direct government support. Although many cities have achieved a financial profit by hosting the
44、Games, the Olympics can be financially risky. When the proceeds from the Games were less than expected, the city was left with large debts.51 During voting, the city_will win host of Olympics.（A）getting most votes in the first vote（B） getting more than half votes（C） being supported by a major city（D
45、）going around successfully52 In selecting the host city, the IOC will consider several factors except_.（A）the existing facilities of the city（B） the competence of NOC of the citys country（C） the citys time zone（D）the financial profit by Olympics53 According to the passage, one of the reasons for Tok
46、yo to be the host of Olympics in 1964 may be_.（A）its a major city of Japan（B） its famous city（C） its a city in Asia（D）its nice and cool in summer54 According to the passage, once the host city is determined, the money will be raised mainly by_.（A）IOC（B） NOC of the citys country（C） the local governme
47、nt（D）the local organizing committee55 Its implied but not stated in the passage that_.（A）Olympics will award a city one year ago（B） not all the host cities can make profits by Olympics（C） sometimes the government will offer the support directly（D）the host city will receive the financial support from
