4．College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paid job．But for 6，000 graduates at San Jose State this year，there's uncertainty as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades．Ryan Stewart has a freshly-minted（新兴的） degree in religious studies，but no job prospects．
"You look at everybody's parents and neighbors，and they're getting laid off and don't have jobs，"said Stewart．"Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce…it's just scary．"
When the class of 2003 entered college，the future never looked brighter．But in the four years they've been here，the world outside has changed dramatically．
"Those were the exciting times，lots of dot-com opportunities，exploding offers，students getting top dollar with lots of benefits，"said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center．"Times have changed．It's a new market．"
Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know．She runs the San Jose State Career Center，sort of a crossroads between college and the real world．Allmen-innidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework．
"The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago．They've postured（定位）themselves well during the summer．They've had several internships（实习），"she said．And they've majored in one of the few fields that are still hot，like chemical engineering，accounting，or nursing，where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year．Other popular fields （like information systems management，computer science，and political science） have seen big declines in starting salaries．
Ryan Stewart （he had hoped to become a teacher） may just end up going back to school．"I'd like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling，which would be great in a bad economy，"he said．
To some students，a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth． For now，they can only hope its value will increase over time．

51．The expression"dot-com"in the fourth paragraph probably means"B"．
A．a company making dots
B．jobs related to high-technology

B．They have gone to summer school for further studies
C．They are good students who have finished their homework on time
D．They have found full-time jobs as their future career before graduation
53．The purpose of a college career center is probably toC．
A．help students to finish their homework
B．find jobs for students while they are in school
C．prepare students to find jobs after they graduate
D．help high school students get accepted to college
54．Ryan Stewart is probably going toD．
A．get a teaching job
B．become a religious leader
C．change his major
D．go back to school
55．What does the underlined sentence"To some students，a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth"in the last paragraph mean？B
A．Having a college degree does not provide travel discounts．
B．A college degree doesn't promise a person a high-paying job．
C．Most students with degrees will be able to find jobs．
D．The best way to become wealthy isn't to get a college degree．

The term “to extend an olive(橄榄) branch” means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation(和好). This term has Biblical(圣经的) origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark(方舟) by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace.

Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor(比喻) for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it is an actual war or a falling out between friends.

In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches. In Rome, for example, defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in, and the Greeks used them into weddings and other ceremonies. In the modern era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.

Many people agree that peace negotiations at all levels of society are a good idea. Between nations, obviously, it is important to extend an olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly. This act can also be important on a personal level, as resolving conflict and learning to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures.

At some point in their lives, many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute or resolve an issue. Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.

3．By the logic（逻辑）of geography，the continent of Australia should have been populated with Asians．Instead，by an accident of history，Australia has been mainly populated with Westerners．
Sadly，no major Australian newspaper or expert commented．This made me aware that Australians are reluctant to face Australia's painful new geopolitical realities．
Against this background，the release of the Asian Century White Paper is timely．It should provide a sharp wake-up call to the Australian population that Australia's destiny（命运）is now firmly tied to Asia．Julia Gillard is right in saying，"The transformation of the Asian region into the economic powerhouse of the world is not only unstoppable，it is gathering pace．"
One truly impressive part of the paper is the data it provides on Asia's rise．It notes，for example，that"in the past 20 years，China and India have almost tripled（增三倍）their share of the global economy and increased their economic size almost six times over．By 2025，the region as a whole will account for almost half the world's output．"
In this Asian century，as Western power gets weak steadily，Australia will be left"beached"alone as the only Western country （together with New Zealand） in Asia．Twenty-two million Australians will have to learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians with great care and sensitivity．
Ignorance（无知）about Asia could prove to be fatal（致命的）for Australia's long-term future．This is why the report is right in focusing on Australian misunderstanding of Asia．
Sadly，this kind of terrible ignorance may be a result of Australian education．The report says，"Only a small proportion of Year 12 students study anything about Asia in the subjects of history，literature，geography，economics，politics and the arts under existing state-based curriculums．"Worse，only 5 per cent of each Australian groups study any kind of Asian language．
Learning Asian languages would open windows to Asian cultural and political sensitivities．The time for Australians to think deeply about their Asian destiny has arrived．The sooner Australia adjusts to its new Asian destiny，the less painful the adjustment will prove to be．
Title：It's （66）timeto accept our place in Asian region
（67）Background（68）Geographicallyspeaking，Australia is close to Asia，yet few Australians are willing to face Australia's new geopolitical （69）realities．
Release of the white paper  Aim：To tell Australians that their （70）destinydefinitely has much to do with Asia．
Cause：Asia has （71）become the economic powerhouse of the world．
（72）Data：China and India have tripled their share of the global economy and the region will account for half the world's output by 2025． 
Writer's opinionsAustralians will be lonely if they don't learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians．
Australian （73）education，in part，is responsible for their ignorance about Asia． 
It's right for the paper to （74）focuson Australian misunderstanding of Asia．   
It's high time that Asia languages were （75）taught to Australian children．    
20．Hotels sell service rather than a product，or，to ______ it another way，service is their product．（　　）
A．putB．placeC．setD．speak

Eat your vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you". We are full of advice for our children.1.As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.

Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:

Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1,000, invest it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65, she would have $980,983!

Be careful of credit. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly. 2. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.

3.Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say, $15 a week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.

Explain your values. 4.When your child demands that you buy something, explain way you really don't went to buy it. You might say, "I'd rather save that money for your education" 5.

A. Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.

B. Provide encouragement.

C. That means paying off your debt in time.

D. Teach patience.

E. Values and money interact.

F. But when it comes to money, we often have little to say.

G. Tell your children the importance of saving.
