Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in 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 website to buy objects, meet people or find a job.

For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job.

This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in 1970.Some experts also help people find jobs.

A huge cloud of sand and dust, thousands of feet tall, falls on a city, blocking out(挡住) the sun and filling the air with small pieces of sand. Its not the end of the world, though. Its a haboob(哈布沙暴)And there have been at least three of them in and around Phoenix, Arizona, so far this summer. “It was more like a tornado(龙卷风)，” Janet Schultz, who has lived in Arizona for many years, said on August 18 after the most recent haboob. “Things were just flying.”“I couldnt see a car two feet in front of me，” said Ryan Geringer, who was trying to drive somewhere when the haboob hit. “I see something black in the air. Theres a trampoline(蹦床) going over my truck！”According to scientist Chris Dolce, haboobs are caused by strong winds flowing down and out from thunderstorms. Those winds pick up dust as they fly through a desert, at speeds as high as 60 miles an hour. They make traveling by car or by air almost impossible.Right now, its the rainy season in Arizonaa time when strong thunderstorms often develop and create haboobs. Some people find them terrifying. On Thursday, it repeatedly took four hours to get a group of terrified kids out of a school bus after the latest haboob blew power lines down on the bus. The rescuers had to make sure the kids wouldnt be injured when they came out.The word “haboob” might sound funny. But its a serious business.

But many injuries and deaths from this kind of natural disaster can be prevented if people follow these basic guidelines.If youre inside a building, stay there！One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building. _36_ Getting under a strong table (or similar piece of furniture) is a good way to protect yourself if youre inside a building. You can also get to a corner formed by two walls with your arms over your head. If youre in bed when the quake hits, stay there and cover your head with a pillow._37_ It is vital to be as far away from buildings as possible. Avoid anything else that could fall, like trees, street lights. Ground movement seldom causes injury directly. Most injuries and deaths result from collapsing(倒塌的) walls, and falling objects.If youre in a moving vehicle, stop as quickly as possible, away from overpasses, buildings, bridges or anything else that might fall or collapse beneath you. _38_A working cell phone will allow you to call for help；remember to charge the battery. _39_ So it should be used only as a last way to let rescuers know where you are. Tapping on a pipe or wall, or blowing a whistle if you have one is a better method.Be prepared for aftershocks(余震). _40_ However, sometimes they even happen months later. Therefore, if you are not in a secure position after the first shock, you should move quickly but carefully to a safer place.AStay inside the vehicle.BMost buildings cant stand a big quake.CIf youre outside, get into an open space.DShouting can cause you to breathe in dust.EOften the walls fall down and hurt people seriously.FTake a good hold of your cell phone in the building.GThey can occur in the first hours after the earthquake.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Once a man came to a wise mans house and said, “I have many bad habits.
