fornt is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.
That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the
questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or lerms and conditions, you can make some
changes before signing (签约) it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize
is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important,
or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your
interests in mind.
I know what I speak of because, as a lawyer for Litton Industries. I wrote the terms and conditions
that were printed on the back of order forms, I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has
ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything, If anyone
questiones them. We would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both siders.
So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and
read it slowly. If you don"t like something, you can simply change the parts you don"t like, Remember that
everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position (立场),
of course, and that is something only you can determine.
B. it is easier to collect information about pre-employment
C. you can plan and have control of the needed time
D. you can control the form filling with enough time
B. questions in a form must be answered
C. the conditions that interest you are changeable
D. something of your interests is most important

C. you have little right to determine the conditions you like most

artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying
to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case,
I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes (风景画) much influenced (影响) by Kernel and St. John for five
years.
For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as
soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew
Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves
and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted
landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However, watercolors
remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my painting at a number of art
exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it
is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said, "At seventy I can follow
my heart"s desire."

A true friendship carries a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.
It is a treasure we should protect, Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you"ll have
disagreements. And the result can be what you don"t want - an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First, don"t let your pride get in your way.
Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when
you"re wrong - even if you"ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make
mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize,
give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend"s point view
(观点). And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles (生活方式) change. Making
friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and
downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and
worth the effort to treasure and nurture. (培养)

| In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people has increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is so fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless. The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty (贫穷) is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may have become jobless and then been unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always. Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step-parent. Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused (指 控), whether rightly or wrongly, of forceful begging. There are many who disrespect homeless people.
