2 . 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our school holds an annual book fair each January, where new and used books are available for students to purchase. Our librarian, Mr. Egan, is the school sponsor (主办者) for it. Traditionally, the tenth-grade students are responsible for the planning, set-up, and selling at the fair. I am sure that Mr. Egan consulted our teacher, Ms. Cates, for suggestions as to who would be the student directors, and I was pleasantly surprised when he approached me to be one of the students in charge. I was even more surprised when he told me that the student I would be working with was Charlie Lyons.
Charlie and I have known each other since kindergarten but have never been close. Ever since we were partners for the science project last year, there is very little we choose to say to each other. Needless to say, the science project fell short of our expectations. In light of that event, I was shocked that Mr. Egan and Ms. Cates found us a suitable match.
At the meeting with Mr. Egan, we divided the responsibilities between us. I would be in charge of setting up the room and getting the volunteers to work the sale for all three days. Charlie would be in charge of all the books. We were both quite satisfied with our jobs, and even more satisfied that there would be little contact between us.
With only two weeks to plan, I knew I could not waste time. I asked John and Rachel to help me with the set-up and twelve other classmates to work at the fair. I figured that, between Mr. Egan, the friends who volunteered to help, and me, we would be just fine.
Meanwhile, I tried on two separate occasions to start a conversation with Charlie about the progress he was making, but each time his response was, “Everything’s cool.”
On the day of the set-up, my friends and I arrived, only to find Charlie with his head in his hands, surrounded by a million boxes of books. I asked him, “Charlie, what’s wrong?”

I’d like to express my sincerest respect for your paper — “The Beast Within: Mirrors and the Internalized Male Gaze in Jane Eyre”. I know better than anyone how difficult it is to find something new to say about such a beloved piece of literature. But you managed it here just with proper and quality words. Besides, the paper is organized clearly and logically. To explain your ideas, you offer some examples easy to understand. I would never think that a man could have such a new opinion on female story. Therefore, your opinion has opened a new window to my understanding of the classic book though I have a hobby of rereading classical works.
Please allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is Frederick Laird and I’m an associate professor of English Language Arts at Greer State University. I still wonder if I’m right for the class though I am the only professor for the upper level of literature. Leading students to literature seems a challenge, though I have been trying my best.
Inspired by your paper, I had my students read your paper in conjunction (结合) with good old Jane. I think it is right that I reach out and let you know the discussion it has brought about. Some students hold the opinion that your review encourages them to think outside the box, while others say that they develop interest in classical works.
And seeing that you’re an expert on the upper level of literature, would you happen to have any suggestions for my little seminar (研讨课)? It’s the first time for me to teach the course, so any guidance would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Frederick Laird

10 . Beyond the classroom, the US provides various job opportunities that allow students to gain practical experience, earn income and enhance their skill sets. Here are some of the diverse employment avenues available for international students while attending university in the US.
On-campus employment
Many US universities offer on-campus employment opportunities for international students, providing a convenient and accessible way to earn income while pursuing their studies. These positions may include roles in libraries, administrative offices, student centers, or even research assistantships within academic departments. On-campus employment is typically limited to 20 hours per week during the academic year, allowing students to balance work and study commitments.
Off-campus employment
Off-campus employment opportunities are also available, although with certain restrictions. The two primary categories of off-campus employment are optional practical training (OPT)and curricular practical training (CPT). OPT allows students to work in their field of study for up to 12 months (or 24 months for STEM fields)after graduation, providing valuable real-world experience. CPT, on the other hand, permits students to engage in practical training directly related to their academic program while still attending their university.
Internships and cooperative programs
Many US universities have robust internship and cooperative education programs that connect students with industry partners. These programs offer international students the chance to apply classroom knowledge in professional settings, fostering skill development and industry connections. Internships, whether paid or unpaid, are valuable stepping stones that often lead to full-time employment opportunities after graduation.
Research assistantships
For students pursuing advanced degrees, research assistantships provide a unique opportunity to work closely with faculty on cutting-edge research projects. These positions not only contribute to academic and professional growth but also offer financial backing. Research assistantships can be found in various disciplines, including science, engineering, social sciences and humanities.
