18．How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the sport．（31）D But with these tips，your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy．
●When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story，think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it．For example，if your topic is about environmental problems in America，you might ask，"Why do you think environmental protection is important in America？"（32）G
●Hit the streets with confidence． （33）B Say，"Excuse me，I work for XYZ News，and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic．"This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you．
●Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera．Don't get discouraged．
●（34）AEach interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes．As soon as you get the answer you need，move on to the next person．Make sure that as you go from interview to interview，you are getting a variety of answers．If everyone is giving you the same answer，you won't be able to use it．A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten．（35）F
●If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air，don't leave work without them．

A．Limit your time．
B．As you approach people，be polite．
C．If you don't own a camera，you can buy one．
D．For new reporters，this can seem like a challenging task．

F．That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need．
G．With a question like this，you will get more than a"Yes"or"No"reply．

YouTube is another Internet site that has become more popular this year．This web site lets anyone create，share and watch short videos．People can watch almost anything on YouTube：news，sports and entertainment events in their own homes，including videos of people singing or dancing，or animals doing funny things．
YouTube says that people watch at last on hundred million videos on the site every day．Three young man created YouTube almost two years ago as a personal video sharing service．They recently sold it to Google for more than one and a half billion dollars．
Games and entertainment have also become a larger part of the Internet this year．One Internet social site is called SecondLife．It is an online world in which computer users create a new self and live a different life．They get married，build homes，operate businesses，buy and sell goods，work，play and attend school．About two million people take part in SecondLife．

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
C．teaching on the Internet

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．

D．help high school students get accepted to college

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

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.
