题目内容
11.Spring is coming,and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs.Competition is tough,so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.Whatever we are wearing,our family and friends may accept us,but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身) nose rings,or certain dress styles.It is true you can't judge a book by its cover,yet people do"cover"themselves in order to convey certain messages.What we wear,including tattoos and nose rings,is an expression of who we are.Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances,so do companies.Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons,but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom,but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money.Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees,because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers.There are plenty of well-qualified candidates,so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers.Even though I am open-minded,I can't expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer.No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards,as long as its standards are legal.

You may have heard adults say they can't get going in the morning without a cup of coffee.One reason why they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine,a substance known to improve and increase energy.Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee,tea,and cocoa beans,which are used to make chocolate.But now food makers are adding caffeine to many products,from popcorn and potato chips to water."It's possible for all of this caffeine consumption to add up and become dangerous,"says Virginia Stallings,a doctor at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Studies show that too much caffeine can cause inability to sleep,and a racing heartbeat.What's more,caffeine is habit-forming.Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired.
One of the biggest problems is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks,like Red Bull.A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35milligrams of caffeine.A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than triple (三倍) that amount.Emergency-room visits related to energy-drink consumption were up from 10,068visits in 2007to 20,783in 2011.
Teenagers should be aware of caffeine's effects on health and on the brain.Take,for example,teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test.The effect?Research shows they may remember less of what they just studied.
So,what can be done to protect young people from the harmful effects of caffeine?Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest,says the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine,especially in energy drinks.The amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to warn consumers.Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine.If you need extra energy,try these natural methods instead:eating right,exercising,and getting plenty of sleep.
