With many college graduates struggling to find jobs, one of the most important for you to understand is that you’re in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning.

I’d like to pass on a few lessons that you didn’t necessarily get in school. If you’ve been out of school for a few years or a lot of years, they could still teach you something.

·Develop relationships and keep networking. If I had to name a single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people I’ve met, I’d say it is the ability to create and nurture (培育) networks of contacts. Start strengthening your relationships now, so that they’ll be in place when you really need them later. In

the classroom it was mostly about individual performance. Success in real life requires relationships.

 ·Set goals. Ask any winner what the key to his or her success was, and you’ll hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence, and setting goals. If you don’t set goals and determine where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive (激励)to keep you going all day.

·Sense of humor. I’m a firm believer in using humor, though not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps one understand the unconventional( 非传统的 ), tolerate the unpleasant, and overcome the unexpected. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.

·Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life.

57. By saying “your real education is just beginning”, the author wants to   .

A. explain why it’s difficult for college graduates to find jobs

B. show the importance of social experience, besides schooling, in education[

C. advise students to value their time at school, and to study hard

D. advise college graduates to face bravely the problems they may encounter(遭遇)

58. You should start to strengthen your relationships now because   .

A. it will take you time to develop them before you need them

B. you may have gotten used to being judged as an individual, and need to change

C. successful people have no time to develop relationships with you

D. you need to spend a lot of time learning the importance of good relationships

59. The author believes that being humorous means that you   .

A. should prepare jokes to be used in various situations

B. can deal with difficult situations in an easy and comfortable way

C. can show your difference from others and be able to succeed

D. should smile all the time and avoid being serious on any occasion

60. The target readers of this passage are probably   .

A. educational experts

B. people who want to change jobs

C. college graduates who have just left school

D. high school students who are still at school
