"So, what are you doing after graduation?" 1 However, you have to make up your mind as your last high school year begins. Whether your plans include college, heading straight for the workforce, or taking
a year off, here are some practical tips to prepare yourself for the journey.
Going to College
Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be and how they plan to get there.
2 According to a recent survey, 75% of students change their majors after they enter college. After all,
school is also not just about careers and getting a high-paying job after graduation - it's a place for learning about yourself and the world.
Selecting a School
If college is in your future, you need to plan. Start by asking yourself questions about your preferences. 3 Once you've narrowed down your choices, ask the schools to send you literature or visit their
websites.
Getting a Job
Maybe you've decided that college isn't for you - right now, anyway. If you want to join the
workforce, opportunities are out there for people who don't have degrees. Some products-selling or
service industry organizations offer training programs to high school graduates. Search the classified ads
in the newspaper and do some Internet research. 4
Taking Time Off
What if you intend to go to college but just don't feel ready to start yet, for whatever reason? _5
This practice is common in some countries, like the United Kingdom, where it's called a "gap year". Even
if you decide not to apply to college, it can be a great idea to take a year to do something you may not
have an opportunity to do again. Lots of volunteer organizations would welcome your time and energy
and would provide you with a wonderful learning experience.

Gift Giving 1.______ There are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one's first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving. 2.______ What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation (义务). 3.______ Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person "feel special." We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say "I'm sorry." Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones. 4.______ People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:"I appreciate these, and they mean something to me," the woman said, "because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we've had." The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her. 5.______ Emotions (情感) like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue. |
