A
My neighbor’s 8-year-old daughter used to stay in the countryside, her native place. Recently her parents brought her to town to live with them. Rude and wild, she would swear or use impolite words when she was displeased. Sometimes she went so far to roll on the ground, to the disgust of all people around. Her parents tried to tame her by beating and kicking, only to result in more violent performance. Finally they became thoroughly disappointed of her.
One day their next-door neighbor, a retired woman teacher, gave the girl a snow-white dress, which was very beautiful. It immediately aroused sparks in her eyes and made them shine brilliantly. The girl put on the dress and became quite another person. She no longer said rude words or hit others, even less rolled on the floor. She knew running wild was beneath her in such a beautiful dress. Since then the girl has been gentle, neat and lovely.
The story set me thinking a lot. Maybe everybody has a beautiful dress hidden somewhere in his or her heart. Only some people aren’t aware of it, forget it or lose it. Beauty is also a powerful force. It can arise fine qualities that humans are born with but have so far unrevealed. It has soul-shaking influence that is indeed unparalleled.

The Americans divided their holidays into two different systems. In the first system are the official government holidays. Most of these are fixed to the nearest Monday to provide a three-day weekends for office staffs.
The three summer holidays—Memorial Day, the Fourth of July(Independence Day) and Labour Day—are legal outdoor barbecues (烤肉野餐). All across the country home members dust off their Weber grill (烤架), open packs or hot dogs for the children and take out chicken, steak or ribs for the adults.
The population at large also observes a dozen or more unofficial holidays. St. Patrick’s Day turns everybody in the United States into honorary Irishmen and women. Everything turns green. Bars serve green beer, bakeries produce green bread, Chicago goes the extra mile and dyes the river green.
New Year’s Eve celebrations on the East Coast center around television events from Times
Square, New York, the official organization announces when the New Year arrives. But since the United States covers five time zones, the New Year jumps across the country in one-hour jumps, and by the time Hawaii strikes its clock for the New Year, the rest of the country is fast asleep.

In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievement and believe that their degree would help them to find a good job.
However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets in years. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.
Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2003. There were many high-tech (“dot com”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. It’s a new market,” according to Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center.
Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several internships, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.
Even teaching is not a secure profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher, but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.
In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.

Steve Nash scored seven of his 39 points in overtime(加时赛) after hitting a game-tying three-pointer in regulation, and the Phoenix Suns earned their first trip to the Western Conference finals in 12 years with a thrilling(激动人心的) 130-126 victory over Dallas on Friday. Phoenix won two straight games to take this series 4-2 and set up a meeting with the San Antonio Spurs beginning Sunday.

A technology for finding Web sites by typing words into the address bar of a browser(浏览) is coming out in South Korea after failing in the United States, and could make the Internet more accessible(可用的) for non-English speakers.
The technology is the work of a company called Netpia that aims to cut out search engines. It already works for hundreds of thousands of Korean-language addresses recognized by Netpia’s database(数据库), and the company is testing it in another 95 languages.
Web site operators have to register key words with Netpia, for a fee, to make the service work.
“Two-thirds of the world use non-English language and if this technology is adopted(采用), it will make it much easier to find a Web site and thus boost(增强,提高) cyber transactions and accessibility to Web information,” Lee Pan-jung, chief executive at Netpia, said in a recent interview.
“People feel more comfortable with their mother language and this technology is a very useful tool to spur(激励,策动)the use of the Internet as it appeals(引起兴趣) even to children and elderly people with no knowledge of English.”
A U.S. company called Realnames had offered a similar keyword addressing service and once tried to take over Netpia. But the deal failed and Realnames stopped operations last year after Microsoft Corp. ended a partnership that made the service work with its Explorer browser.
Some analysts are pessimistic(悲观的) about whether it can compete with search engines such as Google, which is available in some 90 languages.
