Until I jumped onto the podium did I know my name had not yet been announced, Wang said, laughing.

They say this will be a test of both Chinas job market and its carefree younger generation.“Do not worry. Well get whatever we want，they tell each other to ease their own anxiety.Born in the early days of the countrys reform and opening to the outside world, growing up in the market economy, the youngsters, familiar with McDonalds and Mickey Mouse, love to eat hamburgers, and wear foreign brand jeans and T-shirts and worship Bill Gates. Compared with their parents, they enjoy more freedom in looking for a joband with that freedom coming burdens.These college graduates are seen scouring recruitment information in newspapers and journals, the Internet and job markets nationwide.Shortly after hotel management major, Hao Wenhua, a young woman from Chongqing in Southwest China, failed the recruitment test of a five star hotel in Guilin, South Chinas Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. She appeared at a job market in Nanning, approximately 300 kilometers from Guilin, looking rather tired.Many businesses and companies say that they would take on experienced staff rather than the new graduates who are short of the experience of how to succeed in todays fast paced society. 45.

A friend sends you a favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone.The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones-all purpose gadgets that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one. Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers.The fans could pass music or songs along to friends- a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile phone downloads would be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of your mobile, based in Santa Monic, California. “If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “Its like going through a toll (收费)gate. Theres more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”Massachusetts-based converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that let people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.“A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and youll be disappointed if you think you can change it into a radio,” said Ohad Ouziel, a creative manager for Converse in Israel. “But if someone sends you a song while you are on vacation, you appreciate the feeling.” 48.

But those communities and policy makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in fast developing field of biotechnology(生物学) have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination。While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research in the US, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with terrible diseases, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases.

Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollies opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing. “If you arent telling a story, youre a very dead writer indeed,” she says. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. Ive told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said Nonsense, Mollie, dear, youll be a writer. So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollies ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fieldssadly now covered with modern houses.“I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. Ill never go back,”she said. “Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And thats important, because children now know so much so early that romance cant exist for them, as it did for us.”57. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?A. It should not aim at a narrow audience. B. It should be attractive to young readers.C. It should be based on original ideas.D. It should not include too much conversation.58. In Mollie Hunters opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?A. Being poor in life experience. B. Being short of writing skills.C. The weakness of description. D. The absence of a story.59. _ made Mollie Hunter determined to be a writer.A. Loving of telling stories B. Her early writing experienceC. Her teacher D. Mollies ambition60. Whats the writers purpose in this text?A. To describe Mollie Hunters most successful books.B. To provide information for Mollie Hunters existing readers.C. To introduce Mollie Hunters work to a wider audience.D.To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunters books.
