【推荐1】In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic(学业的) achievements and felt confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.
However, in the past four years the job market has changed greatly. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off (解雇) and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.
Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2016. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance (保险) and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed and it’s a new market,” according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center.
The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they’ve majored in (主修) one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines (下降) in starting salaries.
Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.
In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. For now, they can only hope the value of their degree will increase over time.

【推荐2】Rudy Saldia is a 25-year-old postman from America. Every day he rides to deliver parcels (投递包裹) across his hometown of Philadelphia with his six-month-old cat called MJ always sitting on his shoulders.
MJ, short for Mary Jane, is different from other cats. She was born in a drawer in Rudy’s bedroom on April Fool’s day. When she got older, Rudy noticed that her favorite place to rest was his shoulders (肩膀), so he decided to teach her to work with him.
“The first day we crossed one block. The next day we tried two blocks and now we can ride about 25 miles every day. MJ enjoys moving around on my shoulders,” Rudy said.
However, Rudy hopes to be able to ride 100 miles with MJ in the coming day. “People are always surprised and excited to watch us. I often hear someone shout, Oh, my God, he has a cat on his shoulder! How lovely that is!’ MJ is so comfortable on my shoulder and she never hurts me with her claws. We always get on well with each other and have a great time during the work.”Rudy smiled.
MJ loves noisy streets of Philadelphia, the only problem is that she is afraid of the siren (警笛声). However, her owner Rudy is always there for her. One day, if you go to Philadelphia and see a postman with a cat on his shoulder, don’t be surprised!

I am writing to complain about what one of your saleswomen has done. Last Sunday, I went to your store to look for a T-shirt.

【推荐2】A hobby can give more meaning to our life. Here are some reasons why having a hobby is important.
As a chance to connect with yourself
Perhaps one of the best active ways to get in touch with yourself is to explore (探索) yourself through your hobby. It does not matter what your hobby is. Have a hobby of your own. It is the private (私人的) time you have with yourself.
As a chance to meet people of similar taste
Having a hobby is a great way to meet people. When you get material (材料) or something else for your hobby, you will meet many people who have the same hobby. By communicating with them, you will find out lots of things in common.
As a chance to share
What you learn through your hobby gives you something to share with others. People who learn card-making can use cards as gifts. Hobbies like music and painting help you to share the fine experience of art. People who like photography (摄影) like to share their photos. Having a hobby gives you a reason to share with another person.

【推荐1】“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But “How are you” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “ Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” The other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong…” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I have to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the rule of the game of language.
1. When a person in America asks “How are you?” he or she wants to hear “________”.| A．How are you | B．Hello | C．Fine | D．I’m not sure |
| A．hurting someone’s feelings | B．feeling ill |
| C．giving an excuse | D．not good at cooking |
| A．Always say what you mean | B．Never tell the truth |
| C．Never say exactly what you’re thinking | D．Always be polite to the listeners |
【推荐2】Some of Paul’s schoolmates learn two languages—English and French. So does Paul. As an Englishman, Paul can also speak German and Spanish. So, do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.
The survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.
And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why British people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.
In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means at school learning a foreign language is only an option. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good results in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.
To solve this problem, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.
Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to have a try!

You've spent a lot of time studying how to use English in a proper way. But have you ever wondered why English speakers say some of the things they say? For example, why do they say "an easy task" is "a piece of cake"? Why do the two letters "OK" means "all right"?
Many English words and phrases have stories behind them. Sometimes these stories can help us look back into old western history. Let's take a look at a few of the original * common English words and phrases: OK
"OK" was an American who lived in the 19th century. His name was "Old Kinderhook". In one year he was trying to take the place of the leader of his town. His supporters went around the town shouting " OK \ OK \" The supporters thought their future leader was " all right". The expression caught on, and now if something is "all right" , people like to say "OK|"
Boss*
Is your boss nice to you? If not, just be glad you weren't living in the old times. Back to that time, bosses could do anything bad to their men and could even beat* them! That explains why the word "boss" comes from an old German word meaning "to beat".
A piece of cake
A famous American writer named Ogden Nash lived in the 1930s. Many readers enjoyed his poems and wrote them down in their notebooks. In one of his poems, Nash wrote, " Her picture's in the papers now, and life's a piece of cake. " His readers found these words interesting and quickly wrote them down. They thought that if one picture in a newspaper could make you famous, wouldn't life be easy?
For nearly 70 years, "a piece of cake" has meant any task or activity that is easy.
