Passage Listen to a short passage twice about job hunting ， and then answer each question in no more than 3 words with the information you get from it．
Key：
1． stressful
2． popular majors
3． large cities
4． special skills
5． positive
Script ：
Job hunting is stressful for college students nowadays． Some graduates still have no idea where to go or what to do after graduation． The reasons for this problem are various． On the one hand， a few years ago colleges enrolled so many students in popular majors that the number of graduates is greater than the need in the market． On the other hand， most graduates would rather stay in large cities． This problem can be solved if both colleges and students take particular measures． First， students should research the market and develop special skills to suit market needs． Second， students' attitude towards employment location should be always positive． There are plenty of opportunities for young people in smaller cities around the country．

Script ：
Happy New Year！ Now is the perfect time to refresh your job search and really hit the ground running．Finding a new job probably made it on to your list of resolutions anyway． Check out these five tips to make sure that this is the year you get hired．
1 ． Reflect．
No matter how successful you were during your last year’s job research， think about what worked and what didn’t． Try to find any lessons you can use in this new year． Did you prepare for the interviews？ Did you forget to use spell check？ Going over your past mistakes can make a huge impact on your job search going forward．
2 ． Follow up．
All last year we really encouraged you to follow up and this year is no different． It’s a super easy way to really stand out among other applicants． Be sure to check the job posting to make sure the employer requests that you don’t reach out． If you’re in the clear， wait three to five days and then call， email or go in person to ask about the status of the application． Who knows？ You might even land an on the spot interview！
3 ． Reach out to your job search coach．
What do you think I’m here for？ To help with your job research！ If you have any questions， we have insider tips and expert advice straight from our employers． You can reach out to us on Facebook， You Tube，Instagram， Pinterest and Twitter！ And don’t forget to check out our blog at snagajob．com ／ resources．
4 ． Prepare for all common job interview questions．
Some job seekers typically think they can wing it in an interview． And that’s a big no-no． You should be ready to answer so you really don’t come across unprepared to the interviewer． And just to help you out，we’ve put together videos on how you should （and shouldn’t） answer the most common job interview questions．
5 ． Do a Mock interview．
While preparing is so important， there is nothing more beneficial than actual practice． Doing a mock interview with a trusted friend or family member can help really calm your nerves before the big day and show you what you may need to work on before the event． Maybe you say“um” a lot or twirl your hair． Catching these things early will make sure you nail the job interview．
So what are you waiting for？ Make this year your year to land a new job．

Key：
1． be overwhelmed with
3． apply for
2． have no way of
4． face value
5． comment on
Exercise 2 Fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets ， and then make a sentence according to the requirement．
Key：
1． creative

2． typical

Exercise 3 Pay attention to the italicized parts in the English sentences and translate the Chinese sentences by simulating the structure of the English sentences．
Key：
1． My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude．
I am overwhelmed with delight．
2． You need to prepare to have these once you apply for a loan．
We will apply for your medical insurance tomorrow．
3． Her decision seems to show a lack of judgment．
It is not difficulties， but a lack of courage to face them that leads to his failure．
4． I tried to give them all as much care and attention as I could．
I telephoned Mother to come as soon as she could．
5． She walked so hurriedly that she left the purse on the desk．
There is no setbacks so heavy that cannot be dealt with by a brave heart．
1． I made them as creative and clever as I could， commenting on the sports news of the day， and letting them know how great a fit I thought I was for their staff．
Analysis ： （Para． 6） 本句中as creative and clever as I could，表示“尽可能地做某事”，相当于“as…as possible”。“commenting on…”现在分词短语作伴随状语修饰主句。
Paraphrase ：I tried my best to make them creative and clever， commenting on the sports news of the day，and letting them know how great a fit I thought I was for their staff．
2． And second of all， they proved to me that you wanted the position more than the other candidates did．
Analysis ： （Para．12） 本句中“… candidates did”中“did”指代前面已经出现过的“wanted”。
Paraphrase ：And second of all， they proved to me that comparing with other candidates， you wanted the position most．
3． The reason they wouldn't hire me was because I had no experience．
Analysis ：按传统的语法规则，The reason… is because…句型是错误的，because应改为that才对。如The reason I was not there is because I was out of town．应该是The reason I was not there is that I was out of town．然而英美报刊中不时出现The reason… because…句型。参考美国传统词典because词条的Usage Note： A traditional rule holds that the construction“the reason is because” is redundant， and should be avoided in favor of “ the reason is that．” The usage is well established， however， and can be justified by analogy to constructions such as“ His purpose in calling her was so that she would be forewarned of the change in schedule” or“The last time I saw her was when she was leaving for college”．All three constructions are somewhat less than graceful， however．可见，专家们想让人用is that，但是is because的用法已经摆脱了语法的束缚，逐渐进入正确的语言行列，成为既成事实了。这种句型近年来在口语中用得颇多。
1． overwhelm vt ．淹没；压倒；受打击；覆盖；压垮
e．g． be overwhelmed with充满
She worries that she might be overwhelmed with the work．

2． apply vt． 申请；涂，敷；应用
vi． 申请；涂，敷；适用；请求
e．g． These regulations apply to everyone， without exception．
这些规章对谁都适用，没有例外。
But we do not know how to apply these in space．
但我们不知道如何把这些应用于太空。
We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow．
我们明天会帮你申请健康保险。
3． impulse n ．冲动；（电子）脉冲；刺激；神经冲动；推动力 vt ．推动

我大学毕业获得了英语学士学位，但是并没有很多公司抢着雇用我，因为大多数人都会讲英语。因此，我决定去亚利桑那州图森市一家晚报应聘体育记者一职。我以前曾当过四年兵，但高中毕业后就再没有写过有关体育的文字了。
申请这份工作时他们告诉我，我的问题主要是以前从未从事过专业体育写作。公司因为你没有实际经验而不雇用你，这很正常。但是，没有公司雇用你，你又怎么获得经验呢？
我首先想到的是既然他们说了“不”就不要再争辩了，毕竟他们就是这样说的。最后我决定把它放在一边并问自己一个问题：“难道你不能想出更有创意的办法吗？”
回到家里我开始思考并谋划下一步行动。他们不聘用我不就是因为我没有经验吗？当我问他们经验为什么重要时，他们微笑着回答：“我们不能确定你能否写出体育报道，仅仅是英语专业毕业是不够的。”
我很受打击，真正的问题不是我缺乏经验，而是他们不了解我。既然他们不知道我的写作能力，我就来解决这个问题。我开始给他们写信。我知道他们面试的还有四个人，而且一个月内就要作决定。我每天给体育编辑雷吉斯·麦克奥利写一封信（他是一个获奖作家，来图森之前在克利夫兰就已经出名了）。
我的信很长，极具感染力。我在信中评论当天的体育赛事，尽量做到独具匠心，充分展现我的才智，让他们了解我才是他们最需要的员工。
一个月后，麦克奥利先生打电话告诉我，他们已经将候选人数减少为两个人了，我是其中之一，并问我是否愿意去参加最后一轮面试。这还用说嘛！我都激动得差一点把电话吞了下去。
面试快结束时（我是第二个面试者）麦克奥利问了我最后一个问题。
“斯蒂夫，我问你一下，”他说，“如果我们录用你，你能不能答应我你不再给我写那些没完没了的信了？”
我说不会了。他笑着说道，“你被录用了，周一来上班吧。”
麦克奥利后来告诉我，那些信还真起了作用。
“首先，那些信表明你能写，”他说，“其次，那些信向我证明，你比其他候选人更想得到这份工作。”
当你想得到职业生涯中的某种东西但又得不到时，你不要把你听见的这个“不”当作一个真正问题。“难道你不能想出更有创意的办法吗？”表面的价值绝不接受，让拒绝成为激励你更有创新力的动力。

Exercise 3 Let ’ s sort out and build your vocabulary．
Reference：
1．（ Para． 1） Do you wish there was another option， one that would lead to an exciting， unique， and fulfilling line of work？
Analysis ：本句中one是option的同位语，后面的that从句是定语从句修饰one。
Paraphrase ： Do you wish to have another job which is unique and can bring you excitement and achievement？
Translation ：你是否想多一种选择，拥有一份令人激动的、独一无二的、充满成就感的职业呢？
2．（ Para． 3 ） Unobtainable as a dream job might sound， with the right amount of forethought and preparation， you can make the move as well．
Analysis ：本句中as引导了一个让步状语从句。 as引导的让步状语从句语气强，从句需用倒装语序。
Paraphrase ： Although an ideal job seems to be inaccessible， with forethought and preparation， you can approach your dream．
Translation ：虽然理想的职业听起来有点遥不可及，但只要有远见并且准备充分，你就有可能实现你的梦想。
3．（ Para． 9 ） There will be some days you'll feel like turning the alarm off and going back to sleep， but many more when you'll feel more energized by the prospect of work than you ever thought possible！
Analysis：本句中many more后面省略了days。 when引导的是一个定语从句修饰省略的days，由于days在定语从句中充当时间状语，关系词应该用when。
Paraphrase ： There will be some days you'll feel like turning the alarm off and going back to sleep， but for most of the days the amazing future of your job may motivate you to put more of yourself into the work．

你是否和他人一样做着一份平常的工作？你是否还在寻找一份朝九晚五的工作？你是否想多一种选择，拥有一份令人激动的、独一无二的、充满成就感的职业呢？
为了我的新书，我近期访谈了 100 余人，他们现在都拥有自己梦想的工作。这些人有一个共同点，那就是坚持不懈。
虽然理想的职业听起来有点遥不可及，但只要有远见并且准备充分，你就有可能实现你的梦想。以下六点将帮助你开启成功之门：
1．了解自我。花点时间评估一下自己的价值观念，发现自己喜欢的工作方式，找到那种即使不给任何报酬你也非干不可的工作。
2．不要被缺乏经验束缚住手脚。在做求职简历或者其他求职材料时，首先想一下你目前的能力和特长怎样才能在新的岗位职责中发挥作用。比如说，在多数情况下，具备诸如项目管理、客户关系、信息技术以及销售技巧等方面的知识将有助于你在求职历程中走得更远。
3．进入新的职业领域前应先试一试。这或许意味着你在领着现有工作薪水的同时，去兼职尝试一下新领域的工作，或者周末参加成人学校的课程或讲座。确定你对新职业是否有热情的唯一方法就是身体力行。
4．坚信任何进展都是有益的。即使非常自信的人有时也会干着他们自己都不满意的工作，因为他们觉得这样比较安全，因为他们害怕作出错误的抉择。然而要想找到一份有意义的工作你就必须克服惰性这个大敌。从小事做起，比如通过邮件建立联系或参加某项活动等，这将使你更接近你的宏大目标。
5．早做准备。在你没有家庭责任和经济负担的羁绊以及职业发展尚未达到难以回头之前，你更容易发现自我的价值。
6．现实点，别期望太高。即使你现在非常幸运，已经拥有了理想的职业，但是肯定还有难以尽善尽美的地方。每一种职业都有它的优势和劣势，有我们喜欢的一面，也有我们不喜欢的一面。理想的职业并不意味着轻松地工作。正如你母亲常说的那样，这个世界上的一切都要靠努力才能得来。有时你也许想关掉闹钟继续睡觉，但是更多时候你会被工作的前景所激励而斗志昂扬。

The job application letter's sole purpose is to have the recipient read your CV． It should be clear，concise and straight to the point． You are simply telling the employer that the CV is worth having a look at．
The application letter should be brief， no more than one page in length． It should be easy to read and understand． It should only include the absolute necessary information． Like most other things， there is a formula that works extremely well for preparing job application letters． In the following we explain the essential components of a job application and also give you some guidelines to follow．
Addressing job application letters ：
The style you choose is not so important as there are many different styles of job application letters． It really comes down to a personal preference． However somewhere at the top whether it is， on the right or left hand side there should be your address and the date． Following this on the left hand side you should address the letter to the person of concern． Ensure you include the name of the person， his title， the company name and address， and any position reference number．
The introductory paragraph ：
The first paragraph should simply state why you are writing to him． If it is an advertised position，mention the position title and where it was advertised． If you are making a“cold call” to a company then you should specify that you are applying for any current or future employment opportunities．
An easy way to start this paragraph is with the following statement： “ Please find enclosed my CV，which I am forwarding to you as an application for the position of…”
The main body of job application letters ：
The main body of an application letter should be two to three paragraphs at the most． If it is too long it may be skipped． When the reader begins to skip the text， it is hard to get him to refocus． Here is where you tell him what you can offer and why he should read your CV． This is a good time to read the job advertisement again． In one paragraph （two at the most） you need to summarize your experience and skills，and at the same time， you need to respond to the position requirements as per the advertisement．
Analyze your career and summarize it in a few sentences． Highlight what you specialize in or how many years you have worked in the industry or even the level that you have reached． This paragraph should direct the reader to your CV and should sell you on some unique points that you might have．
A good way to start this paragraph is with a statement like this：“ You will note from my enclosed CV…” Then go ahead and tell him something about your career which will immediately get his attention or interest．
The next part of the body of the letter should be a brief description of your personal skills． Again read the advertisement and respond directly to their needs． If the company is asking for someone with good coordination skills， then ensure you mention something to that effect． If it is communication or perhaps leadership skills the company values， then tell him that you have these． Use adjectives like “demonstrated”，“well-developed”，“strong”， etc．
The closing paragraph job application letters ：
The closing paragraph should ask for some action from the recipient． This is where you ask for an interview． It should also state where and how they can reach you， and it should thank the recipient for giving you the opportunity to apply． You can include things like “Should you require further information…”
Finish the letter by adding a closing remark， either“yours sincerely”，“yours faithfully” or whatever you feel comfortable with and obeying general letter writing etiquette． Leave a few spaces for your signature and then print your full name．
In this part ， you are required to describe the following graph in English．
Reference：
