without their mobiles, never leave home without them and, if given a choice, would rather lose their wallet.
Calling mobile phones the "remote control" for life, market research firm Synovate"s poll (民调) said
cell phones are so ubiquitous that by last year more humans owned one than did not.
Three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents (受访者) polled online in 11 countries said they
take their phone with them everywhere, with Russians and Singaporeans the most attached. More than a
third also said they couldn"t live without their phone, topped by Taiwanese and again Singaporeans, while
one in four would find it harder to replace the mobile than their purse. Some two-thirds of respondents go
to bed with their phones nearby and can"t switch them off, even though they want to, because they"re
afraid they"ll miss something.
"Mobiles give us safety, security and instant access to information. They are the number one tool of
communication for us, sometimes even surpassing face-to-face communication. They are our connections
to our lives," Jenny Chang, Synovate"s managing director in Taiwan, said in a statement.
Mobiles have also changed the nature of relationships, with the survey finding nearly half of all
respondents use text messages to flirt, a fifth set up first-dates via (通过) text and almost the same
number use the same method to end a love affair.
Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularly on their mobile
phones globally are the alarm clock, the camera and the games.
As for email and Internet access, 17 percent of respondents said they checked their inboxes or surfed
the Web on their phones, led by those in the United States and Britain. One in 10 respondents log onto
social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace regularly via mobile, again led by Britain and
the United States.
"As the mobile becomes more and more an all-in-one device, many other businesses are facing
challenging times. The opportunities for mobile manufacturers and networks however are enormous,"
said Synovate"s global head of media, Steve Garton.
Not everyone is tech savvy (科技通), however: 37 percent of respondents said they don"t know how
to use all the functions on their phone.
B. Over a third of Singaporeans couldn"t live without their phone.
C. About a fifth of the respondents use texting to end a love affair.
D. 10% of the respondents surf Facebook and MySpace via their phones,
B. unusual

an exciting process, and is one that will ultimately lead you to a career that is stimulating, and right for you. Studies show that the average person will change careers at least five times, and it"s not unusual to change up to ten times. Your initial (最初的) decision will not bind you for life, but it will give you some direction
and help you start deciding what is right for you.
When you begin thinking about your career goals, it is important to explore your skills and interests. Find
out what it is you love - are you interested in math? Do you like to paint? Once you have an idea what it
is that makes you happy, research those occupations that may fit your personality and abilities. If you love working outside, perhaps accounting is not the right job for you.
After you decide what you"re interested in, you need to figure out how to accomplish (完成) those goals.
Spend time mapping out a plan for your path. Take courses in high school that will help you get ahead,
especially if you want to go to college.
You can set goals the easy way by using the SMART Goals theory. According to Paul J. Meyer, www.topachievement.com, Smart Goals are:
Specific--specific goals have a much greater chance of being accomplished. Ask yourself, who is involved in your goal, and what you want to accomplish. Also establish a time frame for the goal so you can have a deadline in which to achieve it.
Measurable-- Measurable goals help you monitor progress and keep on track. Ask yourself if your goal
is something attainable.
Attainable-- Attainable goals are goals that are reasonable enough for you to develop the abilities, skills,
and resources necessary to reach them. Mapping out a game plan helps you find opportunities you may
have overlooked.
Realistic-- Realistic Goals represent an objective toward which you are willing and able to work. You
can have a high goal which is realistic, but goals are usually only realistic if you believe that they can be
accomplished.
Tangible-- Tangible goals are ones whose successes you can experience and enjoy, knowing that you
completed the goal you set out for yourself.
Using Smart Goals, you can narrow down your career objectives, and find the way to make some of
your dreams into reality. This is especially useful for important goals, such as attending a dream college or
finding the career of your dreams.
B. give some advice to college graduates and make the Smart Goals system popular
C. offer suggestions for students deciding on a career and how to use Smart Goals
D. help students to make some of their dreams into reality
B. Personality and courses
C. Dreams and goals
D. Skills and interests

C. will not help you with your career choices
D. will reduce a person"s freedom of career choices for a short time
B. Take related courses at college
C. Set goals by using Smart Goals
D. Enjoy your successes
B. Measurable goals depend on your abilities, skills and resources
C. Attainable goals are ones whose progress you can monitor
D. Realistic goals usually refer to those that you believe you can accomplish
smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.
Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many
restaurants lack. The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the
environment is truly charming. Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all
customers, especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics,
watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, reading local Persian
newspapers all the while and trying to finish off their plate piled with food.
The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the
meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well. The
food, especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited
fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat. One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces
served with either rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled
beef.
Although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere and the food is delicious. It is a place that should not
be overlooked.

Cambridge"s market center. Some ask people passing by for money and some just sit and wait to be
given money. A few use aggressive behavior to earn money.
To sol
ve the problem of aggressive begging,an "alternative giving" plan has been suggested. Ten bluemoney boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station. It aims to
encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless
causes.
Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars" alcohol and drug problems. But the police oppose(反对) the plan arguing that beggars who are lack of
cash may turn to criminality( 犯罪) to feed their addictions. The homeless charity "Crisis" said the success
of any plan will depend on its style. They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local
understanding and sympathy instead of hardness. Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think
they will not get enough money from the boxes to cover their showers,food,and clothes．
Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries. Governments must play
a big role in solving this problem. Training beggars to work and helping them to find appropriate jobs is one option. This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist. The general
community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous,but as people who need
understanding and help.

| You probably have lists of remember and steps to follow in order to have the best pet-friendly trip. There are, however, a few things that are best left at home. Here are a few things to forget when you"re traveling with pets. Forgetting them will make your trip run more smoothly and more effectively. Time Traveling with pets will take longer and will have unexpected turns. In reality, forgetting about time means leaving impatience behind. Don"t be in a rush. Your pets will require more extra stops than you will, and they"ll often surprise you with unpredictable delays. Plan on leaving early and arriving later and you"ll be right on time. Anger Getting angry at the delay will only make matters worse. Your feelings can add unnecessary stresses to you and your pets" travel experience. If you feel yourself becoming out of control, stop and take a deep breath. Your pets have little control over their emotions, bowel movements, or motion sickness when traveling. Remember to be kind and understanding at all times, especially when under pressure. Work Attitude This may seem like a no-brainer, but when you are traveling, leave your work attitude behind. Traveling is not a task to be accomplished; it can be an enjoyable and memorable experience for both you and your pets as long as you have the right attitude. Control Part of the joy of traveling with pets is dealing with the unexpected. You can"t control everything and trying to do so will only end in frustration and anger. Knowing that things will happen beyond your control will bring great relief to you and your pets. Messes happen; accidents happen. Once you accept that, traveling with your pets will be far easier to manage. Selfishness Traveling with pets often requires an extreme amount of selflessness. Your pets rely on you to take care of their needs, and sometimes you will need to put their needs before your own. Leave your selfish ambitions behind when traveling with your pets. They need your attention and care more than anything else because of the stresses and strains of traveling. Traveling with pets can and will be a joy if you remember to leave these five items behind. It can be difficult at times to handle, but the traveling will go well if you can manage to do so. | |
