Many people have described the Internet as a huge public library; a library open to anyone, twenty-four hours a day and with more information than any other library that has ever existed.  But this analogy (类比) is incorrect. Libraries are organized so that information is easy to find, with uniform, centralized systems and ever-helpful librarians. The Internet is a different story. Where do you start when you are trying to find specific information about a specialist interest or one particular piece of data for some academic research?

One good place to start is by clicking onto a site like www. intute. ac.uk. Subjects on Intute are initially categorised into four main topic areas: Science & Technology, Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences and Health &Life Sciences. Once you have selected the most appropriate topic area you can move nearer to your specialist subject through further subheadings (副标题)or by using a search box.

Intute is not the only site of this kind. At www. scholar. google. com you can find academic literature on a wide range of subjects including theses, books and abstracts. www. scirus. com is a science specific search engine which scans more than 450 million science web sites enabling you to quickly find the most recently published reports and data with the minimum of effort.

Another tip for finding information on the internet is by working out the name of an existing web site, If you don't know the name of the site, you can often work it out using this formula:

www. name of organisation. domain.  For example, www. britishcouncil.org. If you are right—all well and good; if you are wrong—then the internet will offer alterative suggestions. The main domain types are:

edu-educational institution in the USA

ac. uk-educational institution in the UK

com-commercial or personal

net-internet infrastructure

gov-government agency

org-non-profit organisations

mil-military institutions

Five dollars unexpected reward for a courtesy in the grocery line, not much you might say, but I would beg to differ. When Richard and I  were at the grocery store, a young girl was in line, behind three others, yet in front of us. She had half a basket of different items, to include three packages of hot dogs.

This young girl looked back at us, saw that we had only two items, immediately she pulled her basket out of line and told Richard to go in front, of course. We both immediately told her we were in no hurry, and let her go ahead. As if we had not spoken, she continued to move her basket, now to refuse someone the blessing of giving is wrong thus, we walked in front to the counter.

A thought of gratefulness hit me. I reached into my purse, pulled out five dollars, leaned in toward the checker, whispered,“Deduct(扣除) the five from her purchase.” We quickly came out of the store and left. That five dollars was not enough to cover her entire grocery bill, it was not intended to do such, only as a response to give my personal thanks for an act of common good manners.

It is not important who did what or for how much. I know that I should bless someone else, as well as receive his or her blessing in return.

I am honored to be with you today at one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation.

I was lucky—I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation—the Macintosh—a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors(董事会) sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was depressing.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance(复兴). And Laurence and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.

A. b-c-a-d-e          B. a-b-c-d-e   C. b-e-a-d-c          D. a-b-e-d-c

Job interviews never seem easy.  To get a job, you may have more interviews than you can count. To succeed in an interview, yo u should pay attention to the following common mistakes.

Lack of proper preparation. Failure to gather information on the company and the job before the interview makes a very poor impression on interviewers; it suggests that you really are not that interested in the position.

In, appropriate personal appearance.  Consider the nature of the position and dress accordingly. When in doubt, dress somewhat more formally than you think would be expected for the job. Be conservative and pay attention to details, such as shiny shoes, neat hair, etc. First impressions are very important.

Poor non-verbal communication. In addition to what you are saying, your non-verbal behavior is very important in an interview. Are you making eye contact? Are you listening attentively when the interviewer is speaking? Are you giving a firm handshake when greeted by the interviewer(s). Are you nervous during the interview? Practice with a friend or in front of a mirror to assess these factors.

Poor attitude. Self-centered behavior (i.e. a“what's in it for me”attitude)is very poorly received by interviewers. Ask yourself what you can contribute to the company? What skills and experience would you bring to the job?

Failure to ask questions. Employers will assess your interest in the company and the position by the types of questions you ask. Proper research prior to the interview will help ensure that the questions you ask are intelligent ones.

Being disorganized. Make sure you arrive at the interview a few minutes early so that you have time to get calm and check your appearance. Arriving late is simply unacceptable, so plan for the unexpected. Always bring an extra copy of your resume and references to an interview.

Over-or under-answering questions. For most interview questions a“Yes”or“No”answer is not appropriate. Provide more details for an employer and cite (引用) examples from personal experience wherever possible. Do not, however, talk endlessly and feel that you have to keep speaking if there's a silence.  When you have said what you want to say, stop talking. If you do not understand a question, seek clear explanation before responding. 新课 标第一网

Failure to send a thank-you note or card following the interview. Take the time to send a thank-you card, which can make an important impact  on an employer. Not only does it show your sincere interest in the position, but it also helps make you different from other interview candidates.
