Dear Jack,
Our school encouraged us to experience some future careers last vacation. Some students choose to work as either cashiers in a store and waiters at a restaurant. I was one of the 500 student to join in the activity. I decided be an assistant in a photo studio because of I love taking photos. With the help of a advanced photographer in the studio, I opened my imagination in my daily work. I also developed practically skills which are necessary for them to face future challenges. The most important thing I’ve learned are to improve myself after I get my dream job.
Yours,

Thank you for listening.
In Africa, the honeyguide birds can respond to human calls to lead people to honey—what scientists describe as a mutualistic interaction, or one that benefits both creatures. The birds tweet and fly from tree to tree to guide honey seekers to hidden bee nests, typically inside trees. Then, humans open the trees to find honey, and the birds can dine on beeswax, their favorite food. |  |
Dogs have an excellent sense of smell, which is why the folks at Penn Vet Working Dog Center are training dogs to identify the smell of cancer using tissue and blood samples from people who suffer. The scientists hope to develop a way for dogs to screen samples first, then perform follow-up testing on the samples the dogs flagged—a system for spotting cancer in its early stages. |  |
Having a snake wrapped around your neck isn’t necessarily what you usually expect. But Monty, a 13-year-old snake has been helping customers relax with neck massages(按摩). It’s unlikely he was trained to do the job and is just pulsating like any other snake would when around a person’s neck. Regardless, this special snake books out a few weeks in advance. |  |
The Guide Horse Foundation has been training miniature horses (those standing 34 inches or less) as assistance animals for the visually damaged since 1999.

4 . My life as a tax-paying employed person began in middle school, when, for three whole days, I worked on an assembly (装配) line. My best friend Betsy’s father was an executive (管理者) at Hough Bakeries, which, at special festivals, made little rabbit-shaped cakes for all its stores. The plant downtown needed eight kids for temporary help, and the shift (轮班) fell over spring break, during which I had no plans. Cake? I loved cake-icing especially. I’d earn minimum wage. I’d see how a factory worked. My parents thought all of this was a grand idea for a girl like me and called Betsy’s dad with their permission.
Our roles on the line were simple: Place cakes on conveyor belt. Attach icing ears. Apply icing eyes and nose. Remove the cakes from belt; place onto trays. This was harder than it sounds. With your mind wandering, the cakes pile up. As I told my parents that first night, it was all a little more high-pressure than I’d expected. Dad smiled. This was the sort of work that made you appreciate the money you earned, he told me. And if your feet hurt or the minutes felt like hours, well then that was just motivation to keep those grades up and get that college education.
And the icing? We kids were allowed to eat as much as we wanted. By noon the first day, I could barely look at the stuff. To borrow a favorite phrase from my father: The executives weren’t born yesterday.

6 . Slash(斜杠)Careers
What is your job? Are you a teacher or a businessperson? Or maybe you are a lawyer/writer or a teacher/photographer.
People with slash careers often have a primary job that provides for most of their needs. The primary job usually comes before the slash.
Why would anyone want more than one job? Some people look to their jobs for opportunities to develop their interests. But most people have too many interests for one job. Secondary jobs can be enjoyable if they include interests that the primary job doesn’t touch. Some people who encourage slash careers say they actually help with work-life balance.
On the other hand, a slash career can be dangerous for work-life balance.
The clear advantage to slash careers is the extra income that secondary jobs provide. It’s always helpful to have a little extra money to spend or to save.
If your interests stretch beyond your ordinary job, a slash career may work for you.
| A．Slash careers provide extra money. |
| B．Slash careers also make one’s life more stable. |
| C．Working more than one job can fill up all of your time. |
| D．If you have more than one job, you have a slash career. |
| E．It shows the person is creative and willing to work hard. |
| F．The job after the slash is often based on a person’s interests. |
| G．That’s because they can give people an opportunity to express themselves. |
7 . Studies have suggested early rising and success might be linked. People who wake up early are more in keeping with the traditional corporate schedule and tend to have more positive personalities, which might lead to better grades in school or higher wages on the job.
Is getting up early for everyone? No.There's been lots of research about how some people are biologically more likely to feel more alert (机敏的)in the morning, while others are at their best at night.You might be more alert and have better cognitive (认知的)ability in the afternoon, for instance.So, if you don't naturally feel alert in the morning but decide to wake up early anyway, you might be disturbing your actual top performance times.Of course, people may have personal reasons for making an early start.Parents with young children or workers with nontraditional hours may also have no choice about what time they start the day.
Getting up early doesn't necessarily translate to instant success at the office.In fact, depending on the person, it could end up having a negative effect.Especially if you don't normally wake up super early and are trying to follow some kind of productivity fashion.An even worse condition may arise if you're actually reducing sleep to become an early riser.Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects of sleep lack.Getting a full night's sleep and getting the same amount of sleep at the same time each night are both important.So if early rising means cutting sleep, don't do it.
What should you do? Don't listen to thoughtleaders or Linkedln influencers but figure out what works best for you.Pay attention to when you feel most tired and most awake.Make a note of the times you fall asleep and wake up naturally.Try to adjust your schedule to those times, as that's how you'll tap into most of your natural energy for the day ahead.And above all, it's getting adequate amounts of sleep.

10 . Reporter Hilde Kate Lysiak got the tip early Saturday afternoon that there was heavy police activity on Ninth Street. She hustled over with her pen and camera, as any good reporter would. Shortly after, she posted a brief online report to break the news. Then, after talking to neighbors and the cops, she wrote a full-length story and this headline:
“MURDER ON NINTH STREET!”
The online story went up before the local daily paper had published anything. Lysiak also included a short video from the crime scene, assuring viewers that she was working hard on finding out the details.
Hilde is a dedicated journalist who loves going after crime stories. Her father, Matthew Lysiak, is a former New York Daily News reporter who took Hilde to his newsroom and to stories he covered around New York. Those early experiences made Hilde want to be a reporter.
Hilde launched the Orange Street News when she was 7. “I just like letting people know all the information,” Hilde said. It is also what she sees as her career for the rest of her life. At first, she covered businesses and schools and any other local news, and she did so well that she was profiled in the Columbia Journalism Review and on the “Today” show. Still, covering crime is her main interest. “It’s just what I really want to do. And crime is definitely my favorite.” She said she learned of the murder story because “I got a good tip from a source.”
Matthew Lysiak said his daughter “doesn’t have a lot of fear. She just wants to get the stories out. And she really wants to report real news.” “Because of my work, I was able to inform the people that there’s a terrible murder,” hours before any other reporters even got to the scene. “In fact, some of the adult-run newspapers were reporting the wrong news or no news at all.” said Hilde in the interview.

| B．Reports of the local newspaper. |
| C．Confirmation from the policemen. |
| D．Conversations among the neighbors. |
| A．The crime stories are thrilling. |
| B．Her father wanted her to do so. |
