When American students graduate from college, they must find jobs themselves. But often they get help from their college or university. Every college has a career counseling office. The people who work there help students learn about different kinds of jobs and the chances for employment. Students can discuss their situation with a career counselor as early as in their first year of college. Some use the information a counselor gives them when deciding what subjects for study.
For example, a girl student wants to be an engineer, but she does not know what kind. The counselor can tell the girl that, when she graduates in four years, there will be more jobs for structural engineers than for chemical engineers. Therefore, the student may study structural engineering.
The career counseling office also communicates with local and national companies. Company officials often visit the university to talk to students who want to work for them. The counseling offices arrange these meetings for the company and the students, they also have classes for students. They teach the students how to find a job, such as what to say to a company official and how to write letters telling about themselves.
Experts say that American students who are hired when they finish college usually find jobs in their own field of study. Those who must search for months after graduation usually take lower-pay jobs, and their jobs are not connected to what they studied in college. The experts foretell that in the coming years there will be more jobs for health workers, financial experts, teachers and computer scientists.

Years ago ,when I started looking for my first job ,wise advised,“Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. ”How right they were!
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!”when others shout, “No, you can’t !”It took years and years for the early work of Barara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine , to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age was. At 90,cellist Palblo Cassls would start his day by playing Bach. A s the music flowed through his fingers his stooped shoulders would strengthen and joy would reappear in his eyes . As author and poet Samuei Ulman once wrote ,“ Years wrinkle the skin ,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or power . Patricia Mellrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theatre in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father ,a lawyer long ago told me , I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.”
If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years ,and the quality of her led one critic to say,“I’m tempted to call Layton a genius.”
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be ”.We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, which all our senses-including pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year –old ,the beauty of a rainbow.
71. What is the Chinese for “Enthusiasm”?
A.热情 B. 色彩 C. 惰性 D.金钱
72. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A. Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times.
B. If you don’t have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing.
C. Enthusiastic people never consider money and fame.
D. Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honor.
73.T he author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that____
A. music can arouse people’s enthusiasm
B. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed
C. enthusiasm can keep people feel young
D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy
74. How many examples are given in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?
A. Three B. Two C. Four D. Five

Dear Editor,
The 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in 2008. Recently our class have had a discussion about its effects on Beijing.
Some students believe there are many good effects. They think the Olympics will encourage people in Beijing to learn English harder, help more people find jobs, prosper tourism and make Beijing more beautiful. Besides it will make China better known to the world. The others think the Olympics will also bring some trouble. For example, at that time, the traffic will be heavier and the environment will be destroyed. Furthermore, holding the Olympic Games will also cause more pollution and waste resources.
As a saying goes, a coin has two sides. So I think the Olympics have both good and bad effects. And it is certain that our government will do something to avoid the bad. What is more, our competitors will do better in the 2008 Olympic Games.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
