well-paid job. But for 6,000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there"s uncertainty as they enter one
of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly minted(新兴的) degree in religious
studies, but no job prospects.
"You look at everybody"s parents and neighbors, and they"re getting laid off and don"t have jobs,"
said Stewart. "Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce... it"s just scary."
When the class of 2003 entered college, the future never looked brighter. But in the four years
they"ve been here, the world outside has changed dramatically.
"Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top
dollar with lots of benefits," said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center. "Times
have changed. It"s a new market."
Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, sort of a
crossroads between college and the real world. Allmen-innidge says students who do find jobs after
college have done their homework.
"The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. They"ve
postured(定位)themselves well during the summer. They"ve had several internships(实习)," she said.
And they"ve majored in 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 systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in
starting salaries.
Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. "I"d like
to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy,"
he said.
To some students, a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its
value will increase over time.
B. jobs related to high-technology
C. a company making dots
D. teaching on the Internet
B. They have gone to summer school for further studies.
C. They are good students who have finished their homework on time.
D. They have found full-time jobs as their future career before graduation.
B. find jobs for students while they are in school
C. prepare students to find jobs after they graduate
D. help high school students get accepted to college
B. become a religious leader
C. get a job teaching
D. go back to school
B. A college degree doesn"t promise a person a high-paid job.
C. Most students with degrees will be able to find jobs.
D. The best way to get rich is to get a college degree.

boy.
Robert suddenly 12 something of an adventure story in the boy"s 13 .While the rain was pouring,
Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He would make the 14 a twelve-year-old boy, just like

a million miles away. Hey. stop! This is no vacation - you have to finish something!
Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (评论家) Edie Jarolim. "I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things."
Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere-in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one
of her three books The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexico"s Beach Resorts.
Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada. she
took a test for Frommer"s travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer"s, Jarolim
worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor"s, where she fell so in love with a description
of the Southwest of the U.S. that she moved there.
Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent
completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.
As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it"s great to
write about a tourist attraction, but you"d better get the local (当地的) museum hours correct or you
could really ruin someone"s vacation.
B. The U.K
C. The U.S.
D. Canada
B. Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.
C. Finishing her work as soon as possible.
D. Passing a test to write travel guides
B. She finds her life full of stresses.
C. She spends half of her time traveling.
D. She is especially interested in museums.
B. Working as a Food Critic
C. Travel Guides on the Market
D. Vacationing for a Living
is it?" I 1 . I turned it over. There, in faded ink, was a hand-scrawled (手写的) address. Immediately
my mind traveled 2 many years.
I was nine years old, walking down the cold, wet streets of Springfield, with a bag of 3 on my
shoulder. On my rounds that day, I came to that company finally, whose owner, Mr Rader, had always
taken me there to ask his workers 4 they wanted any magazines.
Shaking off the 5 like a wet dog, I entered Mr. Rader"s office. After a quick glance he 6 me
over to the fire-place. Noticing the 7 in the top of my 8 , he said, "Come with me!" pulling me
into his pickup truck. We pulled to a stop before a shoe store. Inside, a salesman fitted me with the
finest pair of shoes I had 9 seen. I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up 10 them. "We"d like a pair
of new socks too," Mr. Rader said.
Back in his office, Mr. Rader took out a 11 , wrote something on it, and handed it to me. With
12 eyes, I read, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." He said affectionately, "Jimmy, I
want you to 13 I love you".
I said good-bye, and for the first time I sensed a flicker of hope that somehow things would be
14 . With people like Mr. Rader in the world, there was hope, kindness and love that would always
make a 15 .

buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had
seen many years of service, but was now past its best.
Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path,
one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full
bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its
holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.
Sometimes the new bucket would say, "See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has
me to water the flowers every day! I don"t know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space
you are!"
And all that the old bucket could say was, "I know I"m not very useful, but I can only do my best. I"m
happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least."
One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said,
"You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look
carefully along the path."
Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was
carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的) earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.

D. Plain-looking.
B. His aging.
C. His manner.
D. His leaking.
B. Because it stayed in its best condition
C. Because it was taken as a treasure
D. Because it had its own function
during the break .She seemed so small as she pushed her way 1 the crowd of boys on the
playground . She 2 from them all.
I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing 3 . She would practice dribbling
(运球) and shooting over and over again, sometimes until 4 . One day I asked her 5 she practiced
so much. She looked 6 in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said, "I want to go to
college. The only way I can 7 is that if I get a scholarship, I am going to play college basketball. I want
to be 8 . My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count."
Well, I had to give it in to her-she was 9 . One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass,
head 10 in her arms. I walked toward her and quietly asked what was 11 . "Oh, nothing," came a soft
reply. "I"m just too short." The coach told her that at her height she would probably 12 get to play for a
top ranked team, 13 offered a scholarship. So she 14 stop dreaming about college.
She was 15 and I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.
She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just didn"t 16 the power of a dream.
He told her 17 she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship, 18
could stop her except one thing-her own attitude. He told her again," if the dream is big enough, the facts
don"t count."
The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was
seen by a college recruiter(招聘人员). She was indeed offered a 19 .She was going to get the college
education that she had 20 and worked toward for all those years.
