computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science
major because this hightech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good
[2]There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions. For example,
a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater man agerial success than
those who had technical training or preprofes sional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most
sui ted to change, which is the leading feature of the high speed, high pressure, hightech world we now live in.
[3] Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are
also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large per centage of their
entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after (广受欢
迎的) quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as"very important" by 92
percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they
are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.
[4] Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained
classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don"t regret their choice of study.

举一反三
Do you wake up in the morning dreading the moment that your feet have to hit the floor for you to get
ready for work? If that"s the case, join most of Americans. Very few people wake up to that an noying alarm
clock and spring out of bed excited about having to go to work.
As if that were not enough, most of us have to fight traffic get- ting there, usually an hour"s drive. Then,
when we get to work, we have to fight with unruly co-workers or a nagging boss. And to make matters worse, you have to fight the same traffic going in the oppo site direction just to get back home.
Making dinner, fixing plates, eating and then straightening up afterwards is a job within itself. If that sounds
like your life, you probably have a J-O-B. You know what J-O-B stands for? Just Over Broke, that"s what!
With a job, most Americans are living pay- check-to-paycheck and hating every minute of it. I know because
I was doing the same thing: trading time for money. And, I came to a conclusion that it stinks (糟糕透了)! Big
time!
Looking around at my co-workers, friends and relatives, I saw that they were all doing the same thing I
was doing. They were com plaining about the same things I was complaining about: not having enough time
or money. And, I decided that I wanted to do something different.
So, I started a home-based business. There are several to choose from. The extra income has done so
much for our family. We can vacation more. We have been able to give more. And, we"ve e ven been able to
do something calling save! It"s been amazing.
Therefore, if you"re sick and tired of being sick and tired, it"s time you make a change, too. The definition
of insanity (疯狂) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I know you aren"t
stupid. If you continue to do what everyone else is doing: trading time for money, you"re going to keep getting
what eve ryone else is getting: being broke and not having the time to do what is really important to you.
Do your due diligence? Find a home-based business that works well for you. Go to work, and live the life
you"ve always imag ined!
B. Most Americans are used to sleeping in the morning.
C. Most Americans are tired of having to go to work every morn ing.
D. Most Americans have alarm clocks to wake them up in the morning.
B. Joy.
C. Pride.
D. Dissatisfaction.
B. To complain about life and work.
C. To spend more time on holidays.

and other leaders of the G20, offering a cut-price menu to reflect times when trade and industry are far from
prosperous and the rate of employment is de- creasing.
Downing Street sources say Oliver, the well-known chef, will cook using" honest high-street products" and
avoid expensive or "fancy" ingredients (材料).
The prime minister is trying to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment last year when he sat down to an
18-course banquet at a Japa nese summit to discuss world food shortages.
Obama, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Ange la Merkel of Germany and other leaders will
be served by appren tices (学徒) from Fifteen, the London restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people
in poverty in order to make a living by mas tering a skill.
Brown wants the dinner to reflect the emphasis of the London summit, which he hopes will lead to an
agreement to lift the world out of recession." To be invited to cook for such an important group of peoplc,
who are trying to solve some of the world"s major prob lems,is really a privilege," said Oliver.
"I"m hoping the menu I"m working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world,
but also show we have pioneered a high-quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London that is giving young
people a skill to be proud of."
The chef has not yet finalized the menu, but is expected to draw inspiration from his latest book, Jamies
Ministry of Food, which has budget recipes for beef and ale stew (啤酒炖菜) and "im pressive" chocolate
fudge cake.
B. opposition
C. discussion
D. depression
B. He is invited to attend the G20 summit.
C. He has founded the Fifteen London.
D. He is one of the apprentices serving leaders of the G20.
B. use inexpensive produce with special characteristics
C. be rich, varied and of high quality
D. imitate the menu of last Japanese summit
B. Altogether three presidents are mentioned in the text.
C. President Barack Obama offers the cut-price menu.
D. The menu for the G20 dinner banquet has been decided.
B. A luxurious restaurant in London.
C. A restaurant as well as a training center.
D. A famous avenue.
colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very
young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice
experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it,
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else"s opinions,their lives a mimicry, their passions
a quota tion."
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a
drug-we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the ap proval (赞
同) of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug
addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品), we worsen our own existence
to get our own constant fix of approval.
But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom-the freedom
to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda,
and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they"re more interested in themselves than in you.
Further more, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has
a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please
everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there"s only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring
what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values-not values imposed from the
outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the
changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy
life.
B. most people have a variety of thoughts
C. other people"s thoughts are more important
D. most people"s thoughts are controlled by others
B. We may lose ourselves to please others.
C. We need to pay for what we want to get.
D. The price of taking the drug is freedom.
B. we shouldn"t care what others think
C. we shouldn"t change our own opinions
D. it"s important to accept others" opinions

way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we"re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One
theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being
carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don"t use it, we lose it.
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around. Says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project." However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop
the skills."
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of
direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on
the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town. Streams, or walls in the
countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks
such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again!
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth
B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.
C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.
D. They can develop a good sense or direction if they are driven around in a car.
B. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is.
C. avoid taking the same route when you come back to it.
D. remember something easily recognized on the route.
B. use walls, streams and streets to guide yourself.
C. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs.
D. count the number of landmarks that you see.
