However, in the past five years the job market has changed greatly. 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 no job prospects. He points 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. Five years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance (保险) and paid vacations. However, Times have changed and its a new market, according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center. The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and theyve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines (下降) in starting salaries. Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students.

Four years ago, I moved to a house in a large town. One of my new neighbors house was only a few feet away from mine. There lived a woman. Through one of my windows, I could see her reading by her window every afternoon. Several months later, I found I couldnt see the woman clearly. I thought her window was too dirty. I said to myself, “Why doesnt she clean her window? It looks terrible!” One afternoon, I decided to clean my house including the window. I felt tired after three hours of hard work. So I sat down by the window for a rest. What a surprise! I could see the woman reading there clearly again! By that time, I realized that my own window was too dirty, not hers!

He had left at message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more and impatient. I was certain that my agent didnt care about my work, and he didnt care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didnt realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth.?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the test of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room-if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”Then she turned to me. Kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight , I noticed that something in my mood （心情） had changed.

But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of rubbish talk. The show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a final word. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main audience are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with lifes tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. 20Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are _.A. more interesting. B. unusually popular. C. more detailed. D. more formal.21Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows _.A. show disbelief in them.B. are ready to face up to them.C. remain cold to them.D. are willing to get away from them.22Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A.

The show pours poisonous waste into society.C. Jerry sums up (总结) the whole idea of the show.D. Jerry talks about the improvement of society.While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage. The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to compete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important. I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. Im not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor. I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out. But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did. A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors. Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney. In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors , it is nice to watch an underdog.24From the passage we can learn that the young man . A. made his turn to start back pitifullyB. was skillful in freestyle in the gameC. swam faster than the average swimmer D. was not capable enough to win the medal25The crowd changed their attitudes because . A. they felt sorry for the young man B. they were moved by the young mans courageC. they wanted to show their sympathyD. they meant to please the young man26According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means .A. its amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himselfB. its amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skillsC. its cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitorsD. its brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals27Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The event started with three men, two of whom were disqualified later.B. The crowd started to laugh at the athletes arms waving in an attempt at freestyle.C. The athlete, as well as the author, is an expert swimmer.D. The swimming event is a show of courage rather than a fierce competition.28Whats the best title for the pas
