Unknown to most Facebook users, the social network actually offers a lot of privacy controls and security features which can help you lock your account, so you can speak freely. If it’s used properly, you’ll never have to worry about whether you will have to “friend” your boss or your mom. You can friend anyone you want while staying comfortable in the knowledge that not everyone gets to see everything you post.

The problem with carrying out these privacy options is that they’re just too confusing for most non-tech clever people to handle. And often, most people don’t want to bother to take the time to learn. To simplify the process, we’re offering one easy step you can take today to help make your Facebook experience safer, more secure, and more private.

Just make “Friend Lists”. Yes, it will take some time, especially if you’re connected to a couple of hundred friends already. But this step, while not the quickest, is fairly simple. And it will be one of the most useful things you can do on Facebook.

Friend lists, as the name suggests, are lists for classifying your friends into various groups. The nice thing about this feature is that once you set these lists up, you won’t have to do it again. We suggest that you put your work colleagues and professional acquaintances into a friend list named “Work”, personal friends you’re not very close with into a list called “Acquaintances”, and people you’re related to into a list called “Family”. Those three main categories will separate out the groups of “friends” who you may want to hide some information from.

To create a friend list, click on “Friends” at the top of the Facebook homepage. In the left-hand column, click “Friends” again under the “Lists” section. Now you’ll see a button at the top that says “Create New List”. Click it. In the pop-up that appears, you can name your list and pick members. If you’ve ever shared an application with your friends, the process of doing this will be very familiar.

When you’ve finished making lists, you’ll be able to use them when selecting who can see what (or who can’t!) when configuring (配置) the security settings described below.

1.What function isn’t understood by most people on Facebook?

A. Surfing the Internet.

B. Setting safety protection.

C. Sharing personal information.

D. Making foreign friends.

2.What can we learn about Facebook according to the text?

A. Its process of privacy-setting is too complex.

B. It displays everything people post.

C. It lacks privacy controls and security features.

D. Its post is designed for technical people.

3.What advantage can we get from making friend lists?

A. We can avoid our bosses adding us as friends.

B. We can share applications with friends.

C. We can separate acquaintances from family.

D. We can hide different information from different friends.

　　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(投资)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(固定的)career exploration first, to get a clear idea of the kinds of jobs you can do, is a big mistake that many college students make．After our advice, Dave and Allison both found their jobs．Follow these effective strategies：

　　－Identify(确定) the job you want．Conduct research．Ask parents to advise you on actual(实际的)job duties．Think about what your natural ability is, and look for positions where you can use them．

　　－Don’t depend on the Internet．New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4％of jobseekers 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．
