Will you get a good job？ What will you do？ Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices. They’ve invested a lot of money for their diploma（文凭）and now an important question stares them in the fact.
I’ve seen so many now graduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned. An example was Dave，who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years. He had his heart set on working for Nike. But he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for Nike，so nothing ever happened. Another example was Allison，who was a history major. She wanted to work as an event planner，but unfortunately，no one hired her. Why？ No experience.
Failing to do some solid career exploration first，to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do，is a big error that many college students make. After our suggestion，Dave and Allison both found their jobs. To ensure a brighter future，follow these effective strategies：
—Make educated career choices. Identify the job you want. Conduct research. Ask parents to advise you on actual job duties. Consider what your natural talents are，and look for positions where you can use them.
—Don’t rely on the Internet. Networking is an effective tool—be sure it’s a job—hunting strategy you use. New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4％ of job-seekers found their job on the Internet. The fact is that 63％ of all jobs are filled by contacts.
Employers are making quick decisions. Most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview. It’s deadly to let the employers focus quickly on how well you can perform the job.
—Practice your interviewing skills. Be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend.
60．What does the author seem to be most probable？

61．In order to be well prepared for the interview, you’d better ____________.
A．surf the Internet for contacts
B．get along well with your workmates
C．practice the interview for several times
D．take care of your dress

C．give up his interest in playing basketball
D．take part-time jobs first
63．For Allison, she should ____________.

The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good 　1 in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I 　2 to know him .

I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to 　5　 that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,　 6 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very 　7 city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 　8　 to tell me all about his friend.

His friend’s main 　9　 in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he 　10　 had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming 　11 , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them.

He 　13　 that maybe there were more private courts in the country, than he 　14　 but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 　15　 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 　16　 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 　17　 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 　18　 the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.

“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 　19 and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my 　20 to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.
