It is conventionally known that a master's degree from Harvard Business School in the US is the key to a Fortune 500 job, while the same degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, US, means a possible career on Wall Street.
The graduate school you go to somewhat decides your future. And a recent New York Times article reveals the correlation between MBA(Master of Business Administration)graduates at certain US schools and career prospects.
To work at Amazon
Ross School of Business(University of Michigan)
Amazon regularly hires more MBAs from top 10 business schools than big Wall Street firms. And a large chunk of American employees are from Ross. Graduate Peter Faricy, vice president of Amazon Marketplace, says the reason behind this is that Ross' curriculum-related offerings, a problem-solving course for instance, are particularly well suited to Amazon.
To work at McKinsey & Company
Kellogg School of Management(Northwestern)
For an MBA, landing a job at McKinsey is like trying to get into a competitive business school all over again. However, Kellogg graduates perform well in the fierce competition. The school's MBAs are in demand at elite(精英)consulting firms, which hired 35 percent of Kellogg graduates last year, a higher percentage than at Harvard(23 percent)and Stanford(16 percent).
To work at Apple
Fuqua School of Business(Duke)
Silicon Valley hasn't always welcomed MBAs.
However, two of Apple's top 10 executives come from Fuqua. Apple has hired 32 Fuqua graduates over the past five years, and provided 42 internships for Duke students.

【推荐2】For most dog owner, the expression “Work like a dog” doesn’t make much sense. The lovely pets usually live a life of leisure. They go from the simple days of childhood directly to the relaxation of retirement, skipping the working part of life completely.
But some dogs happily perform very difficult jobs for much of their life. They put in a full day’s work just like the rest of us. Guide dogs, one of the most familiar kinds of working dog, provide an important service to humans. During the Beijing Paralympics, guide dogs received much attention as they helped their masters--those blind athletes--get from place to place safely.
Dogs were first used to guide blind people in 1819. In 1916, Dr. Gerhard Stalling set up a school to train dogs to help German soldiers who had been blinded in World War I. As time passed, trainers began to recognize which kinds of dogs are best for guide work. Today, Golden Retrievers, Labradors and German Shepherds are favorites because they are smart and work hard.
Guide dogs help blind people get around in the world. To do this, they must know how to:
1. Keep on a direct route.
2. Keep a slow, even pace.
3. Stop at all curbs(路边) until told to start moving again.
4. Turn left and right and move forward and stop when told.
5. Recognize and avoid obstacles that the handler won’t be able to deal with.
6. Lie quietly when the handler is sitting down.
7. Help the handler to get on and move around buses, subways and other forms of public transportation.
As a guide dog, gets more experience with its handler, it may be able to take on even more responsibilities. For example, many guide dogs that have worked for years know all of places their master usually goes. All the handler has to tell them is “go to the office” or “find the coffee shop”, and the guide dog will follow the complete route!
1. In Para. 2, the writer mentioned the guide dogs in Beijing Paralympics in order to _______.A.arouse readers’ interest in reading the rest part |
B.emphasize the importance of their hard work |
C.compare the job of guide dogs with that of humans |
D.tell the difference of the guide dogs and lovely pets |

【推荐3】Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-education well off and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individual and society, are profound.
The world is facing as astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.
But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的美国人) are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce.
Policy is partly responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Rising life expectancy, combined with the replacement of generous defined-benefit pension plans with less generous defined-contribution ones, means that even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to get rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the previous generation. Technological change may well strengthen that shift: the skills that make up for computers, from management knowhow to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.

If you’re worried about your personal information getting lifted...
Don’t hand over your name, address, phone number, or email address unless the receiver really needs it. If pressed, you can always make something up. Opt a paper receipt or no receipt rather than getting one via text or email, which requires sharing your information and exposes you to possible data loss.

Browse (浏览) with Firefox. Its privacy controls are stronger than other big-name browsers. Or use DuckDuckGo, and alternate service you can easily set as your default (默认) search partner at duckduckgo.com.
If you’re worried about your phone acting as a tracker...
Turn off Location Services for all apps except maps and others that specifically need to know where you are. You can do this in Settings, under Privacy and Location.

Years: 2019-present
Fuel: Petrol /Electricity
Transmission: Automatic
Top speed: 350 km/h
Horsepower: 800 hp
Materials: The entire car is made of carbon fibre and is similar in style to Lamborghini’s other famous models, including the Aventador.
1.The word Sian means “thunderbolt” in the local dialect of Bologna in Italy, where Lamborghini makes its cars.
2.Lamborghini teamed up with researchers at MIT in the US to make a supercapacitor (超级电容器) electric motor as a power source.
3.The supercapacitor is a unique feature. In the past, electric cars have been criticized because their batteries emit chemicals that cause harm to the environment when they’re disposed of. A supercapacitor stores static electricity plates instead of using metal chemicals. There is no need to charge the Sian’s supercapacitor because using the brakes does that job automatically.
4.The new Sian owners used Lamborghini’s Ad studio to personal things like customized materials, paint, wheels and seat colours.
