For decades, college students have been regarded as "society's elites". Today, however, things have changed greatly. The ever-growing rate of college enrollment has led to a relatively popularized higher education and a huge army of graduates every year. This year, more than 6 million students graduated from universities and colleges across the country. Twenty years ago, the figure was 340,000. College graduates have become no different from other job seekers in the labor market. Frankly, they are ordinary laborers.

They should realize that they are far from popular with employers as they think themselves to be. Surveys indicate that companies that have employed college graduates have found them to avoid laborious work, and the knowledge they acquired at university was of no practical use. Many companies have openly stated that they would not employ new graduates.

Removing their sense of "elitism" and taking a job at grassroots level is a practical alternative.

In fact, working in a low-ranking, demanding occupation can toughen one's will and help one accumulate experience, and develop competitiveness. In this sense, any job can be a good start to one's career.

There was once a report about a university graduate surnamed Zhong from Chengdu who earned 400,000 yuan （$52,632） raising pigs in a remote mountainous village after he quit his white-collar job four years ago.

Raising pigs is generally thought to be a low-status occupation. However, Zhong used his knowledge to develop a pig farm with advanced technologies and succeeded in grasping market opportunities. His success could be an example for other college graduates.

Of course, many difficulties college graduates will encounter in rural and remote regions are beyond their abilities to solve. For instance, unfair competition they may face because of corruption among local officials; misrepresentation（歪曲） of State policies by some local government departments; poor performance of the law in backward regions, and so on.

In this regard, local governments, especially the powerful provincial governments, should seriously move to settle these problems so as to create a friendly environment for college graduates to contribute to the construction of our rural and undeveloped regions.

1. Which is NOT the reason why employers are unsatisfied with college graduates?

   A．College graduates look down upon laborious work.

   B．College graduates lack practical knowledge.

   C．College graduates have a sense of “society elites”.

   D．College graduates are ordinary laborers.

2. The example of Zhong is mentioned in the passage to ________.

   A．encourage college graduates to raise pigs.

   B．encourage college graduates to go to remote mountainous areas.

   C．indicate that any job can be a good start to one’s career.

   D．show that a low-status occupation can toughen one’s will.

3. What are the difficulties college graduates will face in rural and remote regions?

   a. Local officials fail to perform their duties.

   b. State policies don’t serve the people.

   c. The law is not put into practice effectively.

   d. The conditions are poor in rural and remote regions.

   e. The college graduates’ abilities are limited.

   A．abc                      B．acd              C．abe                     D．bcd

4. It is implied but not stated in the passage that ________.

   A．The development of the rural regions is of vital importance.

   B．College graduates should change their opinion of job-seeking.

   C．A huge army of college graduates appear due to the high rate of college enrollment.

   D．College graduates are no longer popular with employers.

5. Who are the intended readers of this passage?

   A．Parents     B．People in general     C．Educators     D．College graduates

If you live in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don't have to be like everyone else．You can be different．
I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life．
1．Do less
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．Pick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first．
2．Have fewer meetings
Meetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush．Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don't have to rush from one meeting to another．
3．Give yourself time to get ready and get there
If you're constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it's because you don't allot（分配） enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling．Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff．If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don't have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car．
4．Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothing
When people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable．Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you．It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile．
5．Realize that if it doesn't get done, that's Ok．
There's always tomorrow．And yes, I know that's a frustrating attitude for some of you who don't like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality．The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today．Your boss might get mad, but the company won't collapse and the life will inevitably go on．
Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．
Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you．
