　　Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make．One important question that you might ask yourself is：“How do I get a good job?”　　1　　．

　　There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all．Still others believe that the in person, door－to－door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time．　　2　　．He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them．His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream．One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick．Without stopping to think, the lad(少年)offered to take his place．　　3　　

　　　　4　　．If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑)his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance．It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well．

　　Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差)．When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying．　　5　　．And within a year this person had become general manger of the company．

A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself．

B．People find jobs in an infinite number of ways．

C．it's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers

D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor．

E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company's faults．

F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved．

G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself．

　　When you are hungry, what will you respond? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? 　　1　　 But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?” or “Why can't I think?”

　　　　2　　 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading．

　　When you read a book, of course you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you．　　3　　 Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

　　This is nothing but creativity．　　4　　 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．

　　So, friends, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading．　　5　　 Go and get a book!

A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．

B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry．

D．Now what are you waiting for?

E．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading

F．Reading can help you make more friends, too．

G．Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary

　　Reading can be fun, but it can also be time-consuming(耗时间的)if your speed is not as fast as you'd like it to be．An average reading speed can range from 200 to 350 words per minute, but that rate can vary depending on the material and your reading experience．Here are a few tips to help you improve your reading speed．

　　Preview(预览)the material you're going to read．Look at main headings, chapter divisions, and other related parts－to develop clues about the structure of the work．

　　Adjust(调整)your reading speed as you read the material．Slow down when you need to be sure that you comprehend one section of the material．Speed up if you are already familiar with or don't need to know other sections．

　　Readers can greatly improve their reading speed by taking in several words in the line of text at one time(instead of sounding out each word, or focusing on each letter of the word．)

　　Another way to improve your reading speed is to pay more attention to the key words in the sentences．A significant amount of reading time is wasted on conjunctions, prepositions, or articles(i．e．a, an, the, but, and, or, nor, but, etc．)

　　Talk about what you've read．Some readers find that by talking about their reading with friends or fellow students, they are able to effectively synthesize(综合理解)the material．Find a reading spot, where nothing or nobody will disturb your reading．

　　Don't reread right away; it will slow you down．If you absolutely don't understand part of the reading selection, go back and review the material later．

　　Practice．Practice．Practice．The best way to improve your reading speed is to practice reading．Try out some of these techniques, and then perfect the strategies(策略)that work best for you．
