3 . The effects of working while attending school or college
Youths working while in school or college seems like a tradition in many countries and the trend is growing. A recent study has found that 80% of students in some countries have at least a part time job during their study years.
Why do students look for employment?
Having a job during school or college years affects the students’ personal and academic lives. First of all, employed students have less free time and, as a result, they can’t be around their family or friends as often as they would want. They lack sleep and are more stressed, and they may even develop health problems. Furthermore, student employment also impacts academic performance. A new research shows that students working more than 20 hours a week have lower grades than those who work less or not at all.
However, the benefits of student employment are also notable. It seems that employed students tend to be more engaged in academic activities than those who do not work, probably because they have developed a higher sense of responsibility.
To sum up, because of financial difficulties, many youths look for employment while attending school or college, and this can have positive or negative effects on their lives.
| A．The main cause is financial pressure. |
| B．Student employment has an effect on future careers as well. |

| F．Finally, employed students develop a better appreciation of the career path to pursue. |
| G．So guidance should be given to help them keep a proper balance between study and work. |
4 . With thousands of options, how will you choose a career that’s right for you?
Assess yourself.
Make a master list of careers. You probably have several lists of occupations in front of you at this point — one generated by each of the self-assessment tools you used.
Explore the careers on your list. At this point, you’ll be thrilled that you have managed to narrow your list down to only 10 to 20 options.
Realize that you are allowed to do it if you change your mind about your choice at any point in your life. Many people change their careers at least a few times.
| A．Know what your goal is. |
| B．Make your career choice. |
| C．Your list doesn’t have to be too long. |
| D．You should combine them into one master list. |
| E．Now you can get some basic information on your list. |
| F．If you don’t know what to do, the task may seem difficult. |
| G．Before you choose the right career, you must learn about yourself. |

6 . The tragedy of the commons is an economic theory which outlines the problems with people sharing collective property versus private ownership. An example of collective property is when employees don’t feel any ownership in the chairs and desks in the office, so they don’t report problems when they occur. However, in private ownership, anything is checked and taken care of. The tragedy of the commons can ruin your business if you’re not careful.
Encourage teamwork. Numerous studies have shown that to employees, self-realization is even more important than money. We can self-realize by feeling like we are a team, jointly committed to a cause.
Hold back the critical. Not everybody is cut out to be an overseer of a business. Some people are just too judgmental or negative. Even if such people have particular skills, you do well to not assign them to oversee others. They can drive everybody crazy.
Welcome feedback. You may notice something is not being taken care of here or there.
| A．Plan out management wisely. |
| B．Assign tasks evenly among employees. |
| C．Create a place for them where they work chiefly alone. |
| D．There, however, exist such benefits as mentioned below. |
| E．The question then comes: How do you deal with it in a business? |
| F．Point it out in a respectful manner and figure out what is going on. |
| G．Inspire everyone to take a heartfelt involvement in the business as a whole. |
7 . An online journalist generates news content for distribution over the Internet. As in other forms of journalism, online journalists seek to answer the “Five Ws” of an event: who, what, when, where, why, and also how.
In recent years, the blog has become a widely-accepted platform for reporting and debating news and opinions.
Writing as a freelance（自由投稿的）online journalist can have advantages and disadvantages over more common types of jobs. First, working from home allows a journalist to set her own hours. It also can save on transportation and office expenses.
Online journalists can work with a variety of news services. Many traditional newspapers publish online content, such as The New York Times and USA Today. Some newspapers only publish online content.
| A．They can employ online journalists for their websites. |
| B．However, online journalists generally do not have regular salaries. |
| C．Ordinary news is in a written article format with an objective view. |
| D．This may involve conducting research and interviews for their story content. |
| E．A bachelor's degree is necessary for those who desire to be online journalists. |
| F．Online journalism involves more educational flexibility than traditional journalism. |
| G．Online journalists often write blogs to get publishers' and general audiences' attention. |
8 . One of the most important factors of successful job hunting is the job interview. There are thousands of people entering new careers and searching for job placement. In order to give yourself an edge over others applying for the job you want, it is important to create a solid impression during the job interview.
Because what you say during an interview is so important, there are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself in a favorable way and stress your areas of competence. However, don’t overstate; tell the truth. Second, listen carefully and get involved in what the interviewer is saying. Notice the interviewer’s interests and relate your comments to them.
If you are not certain what the job will require of you, ask questions to see whether you do feel qualified. Do more listening than talking. Don’t be afraid to ask for a second interview if you need time to gather information that will be more useful in the second interview. Most interviewers will appreciate your questions and your ability to listen and respond.
Each of us has sensitive areas, which could refer to your lack of an academic degree, a long period of unemployment, or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field. Answer sensitive questions briefly and positively. If you believe that this area presents a real obstacle to a job offer, you could be communicating this doubt to the interviewer. Many times, however, an interviewer will override these sensitive areas if you have a confident, positive attitude.
The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression you project can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”. Remember that you have the power to create a favorable impression. Interviewers have the intelligence to recognize genuine enthusiasm and interest.

9 . “Boreout (闷爆) is different from burnout (精疲力竭) in the sense that bored-out employees rarely break down with exhaustion. Bored-out people may be present physically but not in spirit, and people can keep doing this for a good while,” says Harju, who has studied boreout for years.
Workers who realize they’re experiencing boreout may also be unwilling to flag it up as an issue to line managers or human resources. “While the behaviors that feed into burnout — overwork, drive — are appreciated and rewarded by employers, boreout reflects a lack of interest, a lack of motivation,” says Harju. “These are things that are avoided in organizations.”
There are some quick fixes, like taking on work tasks that are more interesting to you. But a 2016 study Harju and her colleagues worked on showed that people who had boreout were less likely to engage in constructive activities like trying to find new, interesting challenges at work.
What happens more often, she says, is that people will just show up at their desks and spend time shopping online, chatting with colleagues or planning other activities. She says that these people aren’t lazy, but are using these behaviours as “coping mechanisms”.
Fahri Ozsungur, an associate professor of economics at Mersin University, Turkey, who was behind the 2021 study on the health effects of boreout, points out that combating the phenomenon isn’t just down to the individual. “Giving meaning to the job is not just up to the employees,” he says. “Instead, it’s up to management to create an office culture that makes people feel valuable.”
If you think boreout is seriously affecting your health either physically or mentally, it may be valuable to ask yourself how you might be able to reselect your career path toward something healthier for you. Seek the advice from advisers, career consultants, friends and family.
“If only people take its suggestion, boreout can make a change into something else: a different career entirely, or a different role in the organization,” Harju says.
