There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job seekers can look up the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new jobs each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called What Color is Your Parachute? by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in 1970.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find a right job.

It’s Thanksgiving, which means a lot of family time. Here are some movies that will be fun for the whole family.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 – Since the book series is so popular, and so is Jennifer Lawrence, you’re likely to have someone in the family who wants to go to the theaters to finish the games. This one tests the limits of PG-13 in its intensity, though, so be careful of that if you’re taking some little ones.
Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and for some thematic material
Availability: In theaters everywhereZ-X-X-K]
The Good Dinosaur （恐龙）– Another great choice for adults and kids alike, Pixar’s latest offering goes back millions of years when dinosaurs weren’t destroyed by a small planet that hit Earth. We follow a little dinosaur named Arlo who must learn to face his fears when he gets separated from his family. It’s a touching story for the whole family, so make sure you bring some tissues for the tears that will eventually come out of your face.
Rating: PG for peril (危险), action and thematic elements
Availability: In theaters everywhere
Love the Coopers – Olivia Wilde stars in what is this year’s family Christmas comedy that deals with the trials and sufferings of not being able to choose your relatives. This one doesn’t have a great Rotten Tomatoes score at 21%, but I’ve heard that it’s pretty charming nonetheless thanks to Wilde.
Rating: PG -13 for thematic elements, language and some sexuality
Availability: In theaters everywhere
Inside Out – Pixar’s summer release is a funny, beautiful tale of growing up and dealing with the complicated emotions inside your head. After seeing this one a couple of times, it quickly rose up to be my second favorite Pixar movie of all-time (behind The Incredibles). Honestly, it’s better than The Good Dinosaur. If you don’t feel like heading to the theaters, just pick this one up to watch at home.
Rating: PG for mild thematic elements and some action
Availability: Blu-Ray, DVD and VOD
Note: PG stands for parental guidance, which suggested some material may not be suitable for children.

Reports tell us that Americans work more and vacation less than people in other major industrial countries. Still，millions of Americans do try to get away from home for a week or two in the summer months. Some might even have the time and money to spend longer on vacation.
For example， many retired Americans can be found driving around the United States in big recreational vehicles，known as R. V. ’s. These serve as a home away from home. In fact，it might even be their only home as they see the country.
Some American families get in their cars and drive to historic places like Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. There，they can experience what life was like for early Americans. If that is not exciting enough， also in Williamsburg is a water park and an amusement park with rides.
Other Americans visit national parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite out in the West. They want to spend time with nature. Or they take their vacation by a lake or the ocean. They might swim or fish. But many just want to sit and enjoy the feeling of doing nothing，except maybe read a book.
Some families fly to other countries on vacation. Or they go on a cruise ship(大型游轮）and stop in different ports. Cruise ships are like floating cities.
But not everyone goes someplace special on vacation. This might be the only time for people to work on things like home improvement projects. And while they do that，they might think of all the fun their friends are having.
