It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. 1.

"Finding a job" is not the same as "choosing a job". Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for. 2. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.

First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in. 3. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.

Then ask yourself this question: In the following three areas—skills with people, skills with information and skills with things—which are your best skills?

After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. 4.

The Chinese are more likely to shop online than consumers from any other country, according to the latest survey by the International Post Corporation, a Brussels-headquartered association on postal services.

In the second annual study of 24,000 respondents in 26 markets across North America, the Asia-Pacific and Europe, the IPC found that 36 percent of Chinese buy from digital sites at least once a week, a frequency far outstripping peer buyers.

China is also the most popular market for consumers around the world to shop from, accounting for 26 percent of most recent cross-border purchases, followed by the United States with 16 percent, Germany’s 15 percent and the United Kingdom’s 15 percent.

Purchases from China are more popular with younger people and women, while purchases from Germany receive warmer welcome by men and the elderly, the international study found.

Online marketplaces such as Amazon.com Inc, eBay Inc and Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd were the most sought-after avenues for buyers from almost all countries, accounting for around two-thirds of all cross-border purchases, the study said.

The survey also indicated that clear information about delivery charges, free returns and free delivery over a particular value, were the most important drivers for cross-border online shoppers.

It found that consumers were more likely to pay a premium for tracking rather than for speed of delivery. They preferred to pay for delivery of a tracked item that took five to eight days for delivery than an untracked item that took three to four days.

About 70 percent of cross-border online shoppers were offered tracking and 88 percent used it, mostly in the interim stage, to check on delivery progress.

Almost three-quarters of shoppers used the post for their most recent cross-border purchases. Overall, 87 percent were satisfied with their delivery experience. Only 6 percent returned their cross-border purchase, mostly using the post for the return.

The survey also looked at consumer delivery experiences, finding that most cross-border purchases had free shipping.

1.Which of the following statements is Not true according to the survey?

A. Younger people and women from Germany are superior to men and the elderly in purchasing.

B. America is the second most popular market for worldwide consumers.

C. The Chinese consumers like shopping online best in the world.

How can we reduce the risk?

There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic(火山似的)dangers.We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task.We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development.We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.

Removing the Threat

Clearly,there is no way to stop an eruption.We can,however,attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects by strengthening structures,for example,building protective works such as walls to make lava(熔岩)flow away from developed areas.Such efforts can be and have been successful,but are of limited use in a large-scale(范围)eruption.

Planning for the Future

Protecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task.Before building houses,we should judge the risk.If the risk seems too great,a safer location should be found.This type of planning is very effective,but all too often,people are drawn to the lush(葱郁的),rolling land of a quiet volcano.

Disaster Preparedness(预案)

When a volcano comes to life,a few weeks may not be enough to avoid a tragedy.Planning is the key to saving lives.Well before the warning signs occur,people must be educated about volcanic dangers.Escape plans must be in place.Communication between scientists,officials,the media,and the general public should be practiced.Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.

If you doubt the importance of these efforts,take another look at past volcanic tragedies,such as the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz.Communication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape.When a deadly mudflow came down the slope(斜坡),21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.

1.The passage is intended for_______.

A. the general public B. architects

C. adventurers D. geographers

2.When building houses,people tend to______.

A. judge volcanic dangers carefully

B. take volcanic dangers seriously

C. live near a quiet volcano
