【推荐1】GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind-broadening experience. That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational (职业的) training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.
Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness(认真)and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice—once towards the end of each volunteer’s time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.
When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either—except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious.
That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers.
Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers and finance-sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.
1. Which of the following can best replace “beckoned for” in Paragraph 2?A.Examined. | B.Attracted. |
C.Organized. | D.Recognized. |
A.The degreeless have not changed in personalities. |
B.Going to university is a mind-broadening experience. |
C.Working straight after school narrows people’s minds. |
D.College students pride themselves on their education. |

B.the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitude |

【推荐2】I was once a Chinese TV star. Actually, I'm neither Chinese nor a star, but for two seasons, I was the French voice of one of the major characters in a famous Chinese soap opera.
China has put a lot of effort into sharing its culture with the world. Chinese movies and TV shows have been translated into various languages. As a result, dubbing (配音) jobs in China have increased greatly over the years.
I landed my first dubbing job without having any previous experience, something that would be impossible in France. As I entered the tiny recording studio, I pretended to know how to dub, feeling more than ever like a fraud. I didn’t speak Chinese, so how could I know when a sentence ended? I managed to control my shaking hands, and tried my best to match the French text with the Chinese lips. Finally, they asked me to try again, with more emotion this time. And so I did. To my surprise, I secured my first role.
Once I was in the database, I got offered roles every now and then. I really started enjoying the Chinese soap operas. As the shows helped me to better understand the Chinese family and the relationships between young people in China, I realized I was able to have deeper conversations with my Chinese friends.
And so I discovered that dubbing is not a job that stays in the office; it becomes part of you. Not only because of what other people think, but because of what you share with the character. When my character once believed her mother had killed herself, I couldn’t help crying. I left the studio and immediately called my mom, and I believe that was the nicest call I ever made to her. This might sound silly, I know, but I will miss “her”. Our one-way relationship was as fictional as she was, but the emotions were real.
1. Why did dubbing jobs in China increase quickly ?A.China has various cultures to record. |
B.China has set up many cultural companies. |
C.China has developed very fast in recent years. |
D.China encourages TV shows to spread its culture. |

A.The author’s Chinese friends help her a lot. |
B.Soap operas spread Chinese culture widely. |
C.Dubbing in soap operas helps the author a lot. |
D.The author likes Chinese soap operas very much. |

【推荐3】A couple of years ago I graduated from art school. After graduation I was unsure of what to do with my degree. I had majored in Illustration(插图) and loved it, but didn’t really feel interested in doing illustrations for any companies. This left me with few options other than freelance(自由作家) and a nannying(保姆) job.
I spent two years working as a nanny doing freelance illustration on the side. It just wasn’t quite enough to pay rent, but I loved it, so I worked well over 50 hours a week trying to keep up with both.
Just under a year ago I went to a friend’s wedding. I couldn’t think of a gift for them and really didn’t have a lot of money to spare so I used my talents to create a portrait for them. It wasn’t much, and I hoped it would be a good gift. When I handed the portrait to them and they unwrapped it the looks on their faces was something I did not expect. There were joyful tears in their eyes as they cried, “That’s us! This is so beautiful!”
It’s funny because when I was in art school portraits were always my least favorite assignment. I hated drawing people and was always so much more interested in drawing little furry creatures. Once I saw the looks on my friends’ faces after giving them their portrait it was all over. I suddenly loved portraits and wanted to do more.
I now take portraits to every wedding I go to and have given them as gifts to the families I nannied for. Every time the reaction makes all of the hard work and time I put into them so worth it.
I’ve just started offering couple, family and pet portraits as an item on my etsy shop.
