3．Here are two letters in WORKWORRIES，a column（栏） in a newspaper：

Dear Ariel，

I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory paycheck and benefits．Even the work environment is cool．But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends．I know it's important for newcomers to work hard to get their feet planted firmly on the ground，but I'm scared of the idea of having nearly no free time．I still need to find a girlfriend．So，shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom？
Amoretto

Dear Amoretto，
I have two things to say：First，you're lucky to have such an excellent offer，especially at a time when so many qualified（胜任的）people are struggling to find any work at all； and second，you can't figure out your work-life balance until you're actually working．
Take the job．You'll be learning，doing interesting things，working in a cool environment，and making money．If you're given a contract （合同），make sure you understand the terms before you sign．Ask your boss how many hours a week you're expected to work．If they tell you a number that is much lower than what you find once you're working，you'll be in a better position to talk to them about it．
Give your wor k 100 percent．Work energetically and efficiently．If you're dedicated（敬业的）and focused，you might accomplish more than your co-workers in less time．Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker for the beginning will give you more bargaining power．Finally，remember that taking a job doesn't have to be a life commitment．Try to give it at least a year （two is better）．If you're really miserable after that time，look for another job that will give you more freedom．By then，you'll have workplace experience，bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings．Good luck!
Ariel

A．has been working for a long time

2．The day before the deadline for this article，I had no clue what I was going to write about．I took my problem to the editor-in-chief，and．he said to me："Don't worry； you're creative．"
I'm not sure where the editor-in-chief reached the conclusion that I was"creative"．Maybe it was through the poems I wrote．Personally，I simply enjoy writing because it's fun．There's also the fact that I can't draw or do anything else creatively，I'm equally sure that there are people in the boat on the other side who can make things look excellent，but can't write a poem．
At this point you probably want to ask me what poetry and art have to do with engineering．For one，it makes you a more rounded person，making you a better engineer．More importantly，as an engineer，you will be faced with many problems every day．There are some that can be solved by consulting a textbook，but more often than not，you will need that thing in your brain to put together things in a completely original combination to solve the problem at hand．
Think of the wonderful things that creative engineers have done．Civil engineers have made the road more long-lasting so we don't have to close them for repairs as often．Coming up with a new innovation （创新） is similar to writing a good poem．It's not some-thing you plan to do．The critical moment comes unexpectedly in the middle of nowhere．You don't think about what you're doing，you simply do．After some mad struggling you take a look at the end product and say to yourself，"This is a masterpiece．"This is perhaps the greatest personal satisfaction one can
experience．
So all you engineers out there get out and do something creative．I don't care if it's writing a poem or a computer program，just be natural and do something creative．
