If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills. There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in. 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 percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after 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. 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. 【1】Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _____. A.are ready to change when situations change B.are better able to deal with difficulties C.are equally good at computer skills D.are likely to give others pressure 【2】According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs? A.Willingness to take low-paid jobs. B.Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge. C.Skills in expressing themselves. D.Part-time work experience. 【3】The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means _______. A.keep for some time B.successfully get C.immediately start D.lose regretfully |

Directions: Choose from the sentences A-F to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. There is no better feeling than walking away from your desk in the evening with a sense of deep satisfaction for a job well done.【1】 Here are five ways to help you do just that: Empty your inbox． 【2】 You will find that an empty inbox late in the day will give you a strong sense of accomplishment and order in your life. If you want an empty inbox, it means everything is in a particular spot: either in the trash, or sent to someone else. 【3】 If you leave a tiring and undesirable task until the next day, you will walk away from your desk with a dark cloud hanging over you and a sense of fear. On the other hand, try to complete the task before you leave the office, and you will walk away with a feeling of freedom and victory. Do something nice for someone else. The key here is intentionality. Plan to end your day by doing something specific and beneficial for someone in your life—a partner, friend, family member, customer, etc. You will feel better when doing a good deed to others. It is impossible to do something nice for someone without feeling better yourself. Say thank you. Take a moment before you shut things down for the day to be thankful for your life.【4】 When you feel grateful to people around you, you will get a new idea on the difficulties of any given day. A.Determine what will make tomorrow special. B.Regardless of what else has happened in a day, ending it with thanks is a rewarding approach. C.Finish the task as far as possible before you leave. D.Keeping your inbox empty makes you more effective. E.In fact, a whole unproductive day can end with just 15 hyper-productive minutes. F.Nothing else throughout your day could possibly be so bad. |

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. In schools and at home, most of us have been scolded or even got punished for daydreaming. The majority of people say that by daydreaming we waste our time and energy on something unproductive. But many medical studies have shown something different. They’ve stressed the fact that daydreaming works wonders on our imagination, creativity and situation-handling techniques. In fact, many problems can be easily solved if we daydream. The topmost benefit of daydreaming is that your mood gets the right improvement. By separating yourself from the world around you, you tend to enjoy the loneliness in your mind and get peace from daydreaming as you think about something that calms your senses. When you start imagining things, you will forget all the stress and tension. Instead, you will get happiness from it and this happiness will turn into a source of energy that helps you work in a good mood. Many psychologists have said that people who daydream tend to have a sharper memory. It's true. When you're daydreaming, you'll tend to get carried away to imagine various situations, either real or unreal. You tend to act differently in different situations trying to satisfy your mind by doing what you want in your dreams. When your mind gets satisfied, you're in a better position to concentrate more on your work. Since daydreaming activates the nerves of your brain, you tend to have higher attentiveness and your ability to remember things will develop. When you daydream, you automatically imagine yourself as your heart says and therefore, you get to know yourself better. You also start realizing the mistakes you've made in life and trying your best to avoid repeating them. Such imagination techniques help you to connect yourself with your soul. |
