There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute ?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默無(wú)聞).
Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked(邪惡的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.
The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “The focus is firmly on following your dream.”
小題1:The first paragraph is mainly to ____________.
A．build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream
B．remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years
C．inform us of the main topic of the whole passage
D．tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is
小題2:In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _____________.
A．is brave in expressing her love
B．is attended badly by the stepmother
C．has a dream of meeting a prince
D．is embarrassed by the pop singer
小題3: What can we infer from the passage?
A．Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.
B．Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.
C．Not many people have a dream to be realized.
D．The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.
小題4:The passage is mainly about ___________.
A．a(chǎn)n introduction to a film
B．a(chǎn) review about a film
C．a(chǎn)n essay about dreams
D．a(chǎn)n advertisement of Cinderella
小題5:According to the passage, Another Cinderella Story ________.
A．follows Cinderella with nothing new
B．pays more attention to the looks of the actors
C．encourages young people to follow their dreams
D．focuses more on materialism than other films

Some say everyday miracles(奇跡) are predestined(注定的)—the right time for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere.
In 2001, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother’s Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn’t planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift(換班)at the hospital had been changed to see her son’s performance. She was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving him CPR(心肺復(fù)蘇術(shù)), breathing into his mouth and giving him chest compressions. And he revived in the end.
After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking.
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, he used skills he’d first learned in Scouts. The food that was trapped in the woman’s throat was freed. The colour began to return to her face.
“The food was stuck in my throat. I couldn’t breathe,” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened.”
Who was the woman?
Penny Brown.
小題1: The author wrote the passage to show us that         .
A．miracles are predestined and they can happen anywhere
B．whoever helps you in trouble will get a reward one day
C．God will help those who give others a helping hand
D．miracles won’t come without any difficulty sometimes
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE of Kevin Stephan?
A．He was hit in the face by a boy and almost lost his life.
B．He was a volunteer junior firefighter, teaching the players first-aid skills.
C．He worked part-time in a local restaurant to save money for college.
D．He saved Penny Brown though he didn’t really know how to deal with food choke.
小題3:Why did Penny Brown change her shift and was given the night off that night?
A．She was invited to give the players directions.
B．She volunteered to give medical services.
C．She was a little worried about his son’s safety.
D．She came to watch her son’s game and cheered for him.
小題4:The underlined word “revived” in the third paragraph most likely means       .
A．came back to lifeB．became worseC．failedD．moved
小題5: When Kevin knew the woman was Penny Brown, probably he first felt       .
A．happyB．surprisedC．sadD．worried

Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a-year-long and highly public battle with cancer. Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday. The Apple.com homepage featured a black-and-white picture of him with the words "Steve Jobs, 1955-2011".
A message on the site read, "Apple has lost an imaginary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring leader."
"His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
"Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple." The Silicon Valley hero who gave the world the iPod and the iPhone had resigned as CEO of the world's largest technology corporation in August, handing the position to current chief executive Tim Cook.
Two years before the iPhone that forever transformed the way people around the world access and use the Internet, Jobs talked about how a sense of his death was a major driver behind that vision.
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever got to help me make the big choices in life," Jobs said during a Stanford commencement ceremony in 2005. "Because almost everything－all others' expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure－these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
小題1:According to the passage, which statement of Steve Jobs is RIGHT?
A．Steve Jobs was the present CEO of Apple.
B．Steve Jobs was thought to have great talent.
C．Steve Jobs had no idea about his death before.
D．Steve Jobs fought against cancer for a year secretly.
小題2:What can we learn about iPhone from the passage?
A．People can use it to do anything they want.
B．It can teach people how to surf the Internet.
C．People can learn the spirit of Apple from it.
D．It can change the way people use the Internet.
小題3:In Jobs's speech in Stanford, we can learn that                         .
A．to make great achievements, you must lose everything
B．people should try to achieve everything regardless of death
C．people who will be dead soon must make big choices in life
D．in the face of death, nothing is truly important except to follow your dream
小題4:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Steve Jobs changed the world.
B．Steve Jobs died on Wednesday.
C．Who will be the next Steve Jobs?
D．Steve Jobs, the greatest American CEO.
