I first heard this story a few years ago from a girl I met in New York. Probably the story is one of those mysterious folk belief that reappear every few years. However,I still like to think that it really does happen,somewhere and sometime.

Three girls and three boys were going to Fort Lauderdale,and when they were boarded the bus,they were carrying sandwiches and wine,dreamed of golden beaches. As the bus past by New Jersey,they began to notice Vingo. He sat in the front of them,dressed in an illfitting suit,his dust face masking his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lips,frozen into silence. Deeply into the night,the bus pulled at a restaurant,and everybody got off except that Vingo. He sat rooting in his seat,and the young people began to wonder about him.

The season of college graduation is on. The challenge facing every graduate is to find a satisfactory job. Perhaps you have started to or are involved in hunting.

If you're finding it tough to land a job,you may as well try expanding your jobhunting plan to include the following tactics:

Set your goal. While you should always keep your opinions open to compromise,you should also be sure to target exactly what you want in a job. 1       Where there is something to do,there is a hidden chance.

Schedule ample interviews. Use every possible way to get interviews―surfing the Internet,answering advertisements,contacting companies directly,etc. 2       Keep trying. Even if someone does not hire you,write them a thankyou note. Then,some weeks later,send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again. 3       Make it your fulltime job. 4       You have to make time for it. If you're unemployed and looking for a job,devote as much time as you would to a fulltime job.

I found out one time that doing a favor 1        someone could get you into lots of trouble. When I was having a test in my eighth grade,the girl sitting next to me whispered something,but I didn't understand.     2          I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me 3        I had an extra pen. She showed me that 4         (she) was out of ink. I took an extra one and put it on her desk.

Later,after the test papers had been turned in,the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students 5       (dismiss) . She began to talk to me about how important it was to be responsible for your own acts. She talked about honesty and6       (emphasize) the fact that when people do something 7       (honest) ,they are really cheating themselves. I was completely at a loss,wondering 8          she talked to me about all those things.

Later on,I found out she thought I 9       (cheat) on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl,it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl's test paper. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by10       (lend) her my pen,all she could say was that it seemed very strange to her that I hadn't talked of it before.

It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels. This is exciting.

People choose to learn things that are useful,and do things that are profitable. Today's college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism (功利主义) .Many college students choose business or computing programming as their majors,1       .

It is not unusual to see the college students taking a parttime job as a warmingup for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests,working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving lessons to get a license. Well,I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense,2       .

However,we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine,if students' utilitarianism prevails on campus,living no space for the cultivation of their minds,or nurturing of their soul,3       . If utilitarianism prevails in society,we will see people bound by mindforged manacles (手铐) lost in the moneymaking ventures;we will see humility losing their grace and dignity,and that would be disastrous.

I'd like to think society as a carriage and people pursue for profit or fame as a horse that pulls the carriage. Yet without the driver picking direction,4       . A certificate may give you some advantage,but broad horizons,positive attitudes and personal integrities are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way.

In today's world,the highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise,but vision and strategy. 5      

   A. convinced that these professions are where the big money is

   B. the students will go in the opposite way and be trapped in dilemma

   C. We will find university is a place where competition is much more fierce.

   D. we will see university is training out welltrained spiritless working machines

   E. Your intellectual quality as well as personality traits largely determines how far you can go in your career

   F. the carriage would go straight and may even end up in a dangerous situation

   G. students do have reasons to be practical 1,        2.         3.       4.          5.
