On the arrival of the graduation season, a large number of students will leave their colleges and get busy finding jobs. However, it seems not all students will be in a hurry to get to work. According to a survey online in May, about 9.8 percent of the 93,420 graduates surveyed said they wouldn't begin working right after graduation. This phenomenon is called "delayed employment".

One reason why the graduates don't start their careers immediately is that they want a job related to their personal interests, and they are unwilling to give in and take jobs they don't like. "Looking for the right career is like looking for Mr. Right. Maybe I could have found a job or two, but I don't want to just make a living or be stuck in a specific position,” said Shen Yu, who graduated in 2014 but didn't look for a job right away.

Another reason is to avoid the fierce competition of the job market.Statistics provided by the Ministry of Education show the number of the new university graduates will reach 7.95 million this year. Meanwhile, only 26.7 percent of the new graduates have signed contracts(合同) with employers, 8.7 percent down from the previous year.

And some Chinese college students have chosen to travel or volunteer instead of finding jobs. For example, Chen Nuan, who will graduate from the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts this summer, has planned to tour Europe immediately after graduation. "As the old Chinese saying goes,traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books,"she told China Daily.

However, no matter what you choose after graduation, make full use of the first few years—this is when people develop soft skills such as punctuality and teamwork. The first 10 years are essential, which shapes careers in the long term.

1.Why don't some students find jobs immediately after graduation?

A. Their parents ask them to do so.

B. They prefer to do a favorite job.

C. Their abilities need improvement.

D. They want to find their Mr.Right first.

2.What do the statistics in Paragraph 3 imply?

A. More students have the chance to go to university this year.

B. The majority of the graduates will go on with further education.

C. The competition of job market this year is fiercer than last year.

D. A quarter of the graduates have refused to sign contracts so far.

3.How does the writer support the opinion in Paragraph 4?

A. By giving an example.

B. By presenting numbers.

C. By explaining the results.

D. By comparing differences.

4.What is the best tide of the passage?

A. Developing Soft Skills

B. Traveling Around to Find Jobs

C. The Fierce Competition of Job Market

D. The Delayed Employment Phenomenon

If you believe in thermometers(温度计),you should believe in global warming. And if you believe in eating fries with your burger, you should worry more about carbon emissions.

It won't happen overnight, but as the planet's climate changes, the growth cycles of main crops will all be heavily affected .Here are three of the crops that might not beat the heat.

The potato actually needs a great deal of beauty rest to develop properly. “They need a cool nighttime temperature in order to start growing the tuber, the part that we eat,” Nelson says.

Temperature and altitude are two primary concerns in coffee growth, and farmers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. “We know that coffee grows in a certain temperature range,” Nelson says. “They've been moving up the mountains, but at some paint you run out of mountains to move up.” Higher-grade strains of Arabica coffee in Central American regions are at particular risk due to the need for lower growing temperature, especially since diseases and pests are also becoming more of a factor as temperatures rise.

Even if you're looking at the direct effects of temperature alone, rice is in trouble. “As nighttime temperatures go up ,the rice is going to have a problem flowering and won't make as many seeds,” Nelson says. In addition to this direct heat consequence, rising sea levels will flood many rice fields and destroy water salinity levels, while droughts will lower production, raise prices, and further shame westerners who are too clumsy with chopsticks to be able to clear their plates once a new grain is adopted.

1.What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “emissions” in Paragraph 1?

A. Mixture. B. Pollution.

C. Going down. D. Letting off.

2.What does the potatoes' development need according to Nelson?

A. Enough water and salt. B. Cool temperature at night.

C. Much sunshine and fresh air. D. Sudden rise of the temperature.

3.The rice is difficult to flower, probably because______.

A. sea levels go up suddenly B. the temperature rises at night

C. many seeds can't be produced D. both temperature and altitude rise

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. How Does Global Warming Affect Westerners

B. How Does The Cool Temperature Affect Ride

C. What Is The Real Reason For Crops' Growth

D. Three Crops That Won't Survive Minor Climate Changes
