Find a Job First
、 College students' options upon graduation vary fromperson to person. Some students choose to hunt for a job whileothers _prefer to start their own business. ② As for me,I wouldrather find a job first.
、跿he reasons for my decision are as follows. ④ For onething, it is much easier for me to find a job compared withstarting a business which demands fund, experience and themarket. As a green hand who has just graduated from a college,it's totally beyond my ability to handle such a complex situation.⑤ For another, working for others could develop mypersonalities, such as perseverance, hardworking and stresstolerance ability, which can help me become more prepared andqualified if I would like to start up my own business.
To conclude, ⑥ chances always favor those who areprepared. And I don't think a person could really "build up fromnothing". ⑦ As a result, I will find a job first after graduation.

W: (9-1) Is John reliable?
M: (9-2) Yes, he is. That's why we chose him for the job.
W: Have you spoken to the man who was late?
M: Not yet. I thought I'd have a word with you first. He's a difficult man, and I think there's been sometrouble on the shop floor. I've got a feeling that the trade union representative is behind this. The managertold me that Jack Green's been very active around the shop the last few days.
W: Well, what do you want me to do?
M: (10) I was wondering if you'd see Smith--the man who was late--because you are so much better athandling things like this.
W: Oh, alright. I'll see him. I must say I agree with you about there being bad feelings in the workers.

Well, I'll get the manager to send Smith up here.

Passage Two
(51)吃得少,還能讓人感到快樂的奧秘或許早在幾年前就被麥當勞破解了。根據(jù)康奈爾大學食品與品牌實驗室的一項最新研究,小份的非食物獎勵,例如麥當勞歡樂套餐中的玩具,可以和食物一樣刺激大腦中的獎賞中樞。
由馬丁·萊曼領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的研究人員進行了一系列的實驗,想要弄清楚人們是否愿意選擇配有非食物類小東西的小份食物。
(52)他們發(fā)現(xiàn),絕大多數(shù)的孩子和成年人都選擇帶獎品但減半了的食物。而兩種選擇的價格是相同的。
(53)更為有趣的是,一個對未來獎品的承諾足以使成年人選擇小份食品。其中可以使用的獎勵之一是彩票,獎金10、50到100美金不等。在勸說人們少吃點這一問題上,這和那些實實在在的禮物一樣有效。
“參與者們愿意用獲得相對來說較少金錢獎勵的可能性來替換掉一部分食物,這一事實也是非常有趣的,”萊曼說。
(54)他認為從理論上來講,這些無形獎品中的感情成分使得它們起了作用。事實上,描述不清晰的得獎的可能性比那些有著明確的得獎概率的選擇更有效果。
“這一發(fā)現(xiàn)的解釋之一就是不確定的獎勵要比確定的獎勵在情感上更能激起人們的欲望。”萊曼說。“得獎的不確定性通過在情感上讓人‘興奮’從而為人們提供了額外的吸引力和誘惑力。收到獎勵的可能性同時帶來了
一種希望,這種狀態(tài)本身就能讓人獲得心理上的回報!睋Q言之,這就是人們?yōu)槭裁聪矚g的原因。如何運用這一知識來幫助人們吃得更健康呢?
一種辦法就是給人們提供一個可以獲得周末溫泉療養(yǎng)機會的健康選擇;蛘邽檫x擇一份減半了的食物設(shè)立半份甜點的獎勵,該甜點只能在未來的某個日期享用。(55)這樣你就又會回到這個餐館——并且這樣你又可以少吃一點。

PartⅣ Translation
The color of red in Chinese culture usually symbolizes good luck, longevity and happiness. Red can befound everywhere during Chinese Spring Festival and on other joyous occasions. Cash is often put in redenvelopes and sent to family members or close friends as a gift. Its popularity in China can also be attributed tothe fact that people associate it with the Chinese Revolution and Communist Party. However, red does notsignify good luck and joy all the time in that the name of the dead used to be written in red. Thus it is regardedas an offense to write the names of Chinese people in red ink.
