As you are probably aware，the latest job markets news isn’t good：Unemployment is still more than 9 percent，and new job growth has fallen close to zero.That’s bad for the economy，of course.And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now.But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think.

That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover(人员流动)data.After all，existing jobs open up every day due to promotions，resignations，and retirements.(Yes，people are retiring even in this economy.)In both good times and bad，staff-turnover creates more openings than economic growth does.Even in June of 2007，when the economy was still booming along，job growth was only 132，000，while staff-turnover was 4.7 million!

And as it turns out，even today—with job growth near zero—over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.

I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job.It’s true that if total employment were higher.it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for).And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening，regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.

But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated.They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills;be creative about where and how to look;learn how to present themselves to potential employers;and keep going，even after repeated rejections.The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t hunted for it within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.

So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up.Four million people get hired every month in the U.S.You can be one of them

32.The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate____.

A.takes job opportunities from people

B.prevents many people from changing careers

A.It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.

B.It increases people’s confidence in the economy.

C.It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.

D.It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.

34.What is the key to finding a job according to the author?

A.Education    B.Intelligence    C.Persistence  D.Experience

35.What do we learn about The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data?

A.They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.

B.They provide the public with the latest information.

C.They warn of the structural problems in the economy.

D.They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job.

With the development of society，it is common that many people are rushing all the way and all day，tired and subhealthy.  36    She described all the things she had to do—one was to make her bed—from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work.I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks.She was shocked，probably thinking I’d been brought up by wolves in a forest.  37

Two weeks later she went into my office merrily.She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years—and nothing bad had happened.“And you know what?”she said.“I don’t dry my dishes anymore，either.”

38   One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before.The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect.This story shows an important principle about managing time：No one can do it a11.Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs(利弊权衡).The problem is that many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last.They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves.  39

So what is the solution?There’s an easy way.Decide what you want in your life，and put that first.On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family.Exercise，leisure，friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. 40   The choice is yours：whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life.Take a nap.Take a walk.Take time to play the piano.Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office.Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers.Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.

A.Most people do not take time to relax themselves.

B.The point is to do something for yourself every day.

C.A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

D.This woman had made two major breakthroughs.

E.Above all，you needn’t do anything for yourself regularly.

F.They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.

G.However，she went along with my idea.
