WASHINGTON (Reuters) — The U.S. unemployment rate probably rose in October as employers stepped up hiring only slightly, underscoring President Barack Obama’s vulnerability in next week’s presidential election.

Employers likely added 125,000 jobs to their payrolls last month, according to a Reuters survey of economists. That would be up from 114,000 in September, but would   41  short of what is needed to quickly cut the jobless rate.

Indeed, economists expect the unemployment rate — a key   42  in the neck-and-neck race for the White House ——to tick up by a tenth of a percentage point to 7.9 percent, reversing part of a surprise drop seen in September.

The Labor Department's closely watched report, which will be   43 at 8:30 a.m. (12:30 GMT) on Friday, will be the last  44 report card on the economy before Tuesday's presidential election, which pits (使竞争)President Obama against Republican Mitt Romney.

If economists are right, it will show the eighth straight month of dull job growth, a worrisome  45 that would likely reinforce the Federal Reserve's resolve to keep easy money policies in place until the economy shows more vigor.

"The weakness in overall economic growth momentum has   46 into the last quarter of the year," said Millan Mulraine, an economist at TD Securities in New York.

Romney has made the nation's feeble jobs market, which has caused Obama a lot of trouble since he took office in 2009, the centerpiece of his   47 . The last Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll showed Obama and Romney in a   48  heat.

Still, the report could provide fodder for both candidates. Some economists have   49  an increase in the jobless rate might have a silver lining if it is driven by Americans pouring into the labor market to restart job hunts.

  In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.

  From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others often, we try bevery way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.

  Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty fore years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.

  No more angry shouts and no more horns!

  When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understoof.Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.

  Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are and far between.More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.
