Handwriting is quickly becoming a dying art. Few businesses can run nowadays without computers.　1　Researchers from Princeton University conducted a study to demonstrate the differences between students who wrote out their notes and those who typed notes in a lecture.　2　Participants were tested on the material 30 minutes after the lecture and again a week later. And handwriting emerged as the champion.
　3　The typers had a significant edge when it came to note-taking efficiency. The typers could copy down significantly many more words than the writers, sometimes even transcribing the content of the lecture word for word.
But while more of the lecture's content was retained(保留)on paper when typing, it wasn't necessarily retained in participants' heads.　4　On the test 30 minutes after the lecture, typers and writers did more or less equally well on questions about the basic facts of the lecture, but typers fell behind when it came to more conceptual questions.
As for the later quiz, the results were similar. Students with handwritten notes were able to remember and still understand the concepts of the lecture after a week had passed. These participants were also more open to understanding new ideas.　5　
A.The tests that the participants took proved this.
B.The efficiency of handwriting might best benefit you.
C.That's not to say that typing doesn't have its benefits.
D.In this study, the laptops were only used to take notes.
E.Generally speaking, typing also has its own disadvantages.
F.But what are we losing as handwriting loses its significance in society
G.Clearly, writing by hand is one of the things that can make you smarter.

Do you have a job If you do, you'll know the world of work can be tough, long hours, boring tasks and stress. But it can bring benefits too, such as a regular salary. Maybe that's why more of us are now taking on a side hustle—another name for a second job.
For some having two jobs is a necessity—a way to make ends meet and provide extra income. But it now seems that more people want to put their skills and passions into practice to make money. These tend to be entrepreneurial young people who want to work on their own projects alongside their main source of income.
According to Henley Business School, around one in four workers runs at least one side hustle business, half of which were started in the past two years. Those aged 25 to 34 are most likely to be involved, with 37 percent thought to run a sideline(副业) of some kind. It calculates that the average side hustler makes about 20 percent of their income through their second job.
But what's interesting is that many millennials(千禧一代)are turning their hand to new jobs not just for money and security. Research has found that almost three-quarters of people are following a passion or exploring a new challenge. Becci Mai Ford, who works some of the time for a telecommunications(电信) company to pay the bills, spends the rest of her time developing her craft company. She says going full-time is “not financially worth it right now but it fuels my creative soul and makes me happy”.
Of course having a side hustle means you are self-employed, which can give you flexibility to work when you like, but it can be risky. You sometimes work on a zero-hour contract and may not get offered enough work. Or what was originally your passion may become more of a chore. However, this could be the best way to try out a new career or follow a passion while not giving up the day job.
1.Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to take on a side hustle
A.To make money.
B.To obtain job satisfaction.
C.To have the flexibility to work.
D.To enjoy a risky lifestyle.
2.How does the author explain the study from Henley Business School
A.By describing the process.
B.By making a comparison.
C.By presenting research findings.
D.By analyzing cause and effect.
3.What is the author's attitude towards having a second job
A.Critical. B.Indifferent.
C.Neutral. D.Favorable.

David is a 22-year-old man. Not having received a college education, he found it difficult to find a job. He worked at a small company and wasn't paid well. He thought life was unfair and often complained.
One day, his boss asked him to go to his office. To his sadness, he was told he didn't need to come to work again.
That day, David didn't go straight back to the small apartment he shared with another man. He wanted to find a quiet place and sit there quietly for some time. Having lost his job, he had no idea what to do.
He walked and walked. Finally he stopped in front of a beautiful house. The house had a very big garden behind it. He saw an old man sitting in the garden.
“The old man must be a millionaire,” thought David.“How I wish I were him! If I were him, I wouldn't have to work and I'd have a large amount of money. I would be the happiest man in the whole world.”
Thinking how poor he was, David was even sadder. He hurriedly walked forward, found a place and sat there quietly.
Finally, he became hungry and decided to go back home. On his way back home, he passed the old man's house again. This time the man was sitting in his front yard. When David passed by him, he noticed that the old man was looking at him. The old man looked as if he admired him very much. David was confused. Why would such a rich man admire him He was so poor while he was so rich.
Finally, David decided to have a talk with the old man. So he stopped and walked to the old man.
“Hello,” he said.
“Hello,” said the old man.
Then they started talking. David told the old man he really admired him.
“You have such a beautiful house. You're so rich! How I wish I were you!” said David.
Hearing that, the old man smiled and said, “And I admire you, too! I wish I were you! If I were you, I'd still enjoy my youth. Now I'm so old. Wealth doesn't mean much to me!”

Paragraph 1:
What the old man said struck David. He suddenly realized that wealth wouldn't really mean much if one was already so old. What the old man really wanted was what he still enjoyed—his youth. It was the most valuable thing he had. He realized that he was still young and everything was possible for him. David looked at the old man again and this time he no longer admired him. He knew he still had a chance to become rich. But the old man could never become young again.
Paragraph 2:
David stopped complaining about his life. Instead, he decided to make a change. Later he found a job again. This time he worked hard and tried his best to learn new things in his free time. He even went to take a course at a night school. Two years later, he found a better job. And some years later, he started his own business. Finally, he became rich. But he knew that wealth wasn't the most important in his life. He wanted to live life to its fullest.Unit 5Launching Your Career同步巩固练-part 1

Résumé(简历) tips:4 ways to stand out on paper
According to a recent study,recruiters(招聘人员)only spend six seconds looking at your résumé. So how do you make it into the callback pile in those mere seconds 　1　Here is a bunch of ways to do just that.
1.Use key words
When recruiters look through résumés, they're looking for key words that match the job description, but you can take it a step further.　2　Then include those key words in your résumé as well.
2.　3　
My friend is a chef. Her résumé looks a lot like any chef's résumé with one surprising difference. Under personal accomplishments she wrote, “Won the 2007 St. Bernard Parish Pie Eating Contest”. It isn't something you'd expect. She's been asked about the contest in several interviews, which is the perfect time to tell the recruiter that she also baked all of the pies for the contest.
3.Turn your résumé into an infographic(信息图)
　4　Just ask college journalist Chris Spurlock. Last year he turned his résumé into an infographic. Not long after, Spurlock's résumé was posted on both blogs and Twitter. If you're in a creative field, make your résumé look different from the standard one-page list.
4.Make a video résumé
Sales manager Stan Paprzycki shot a video of himself, posted it on YouTube, and then sent the link to potential employers. The result was almost 100 percent positive response.　5　A video résumé is better suited for jobs like sales and marketing.
A.Take part in a contest
B.Add unusual accomplishments
C.Better yet, his video résumé got him a job.
D.Your résumé doesn't have to be a one-page list of achievements.
E.Adding some personalities to your résumé can't hurt, but avoid jokes.
F.By thinking outside the box and making a résumé that will hold the recruiter's attention.
G.Check out the company's website and look for any company goals that fit your experience.

A
John Harrison has an enviable job in most people's opinion. He's the official taster for Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, one of the best-selling ice cream brands in the U.S.A. On an average day, Harrison has to sample sixty ice creams at the Dreyer's headquarters. When he isn't doing that, he travels all over the country, buying Dreyer's ice cream in supermarkets so that he can carry out spot checks(抽查) for appearance and flavor. But, no matter how wonderful this job may sound, it is actually quite tough. It's difficult work, requiring discipline, selflessness, and thorough preparation.
Before tasting a sample, Harrison uses his eyes first. If the ice cream doesn't look attractive, he skips it. Then, he uses a gold spoon instead of one made of wood, plastic, or other metal. This is because regular spoons leave an aftertaste that can dull the taste buds(味蕾). In addition, the temperature of the ice cream may also influence the taster's taste buds.
When Harrison samples ice cream, he first takes only a small bite of the ice cream, swishes(使嗖地快速移动) it around in his mouth to introduce it to each of his taste buds, lightly licks his lips, and then gently breathes in so as to bring the smell up through the back of his mouth to his nose. With each step, he carefully sizes up whether the ice cream conveys the ideal balance between dairy sweetness and the flavor of the added ingredients. And last of all, no matter what the ice cream tastes like, he spits(吐) it out, since a full stomach makes for a dull palate(迟钝的味觉).
For Harrison, keeping a sharp palate(味觉;品尝力) means no onions, garlic, or cayenne pepper. He also doesn't have any coffee or tea, since these block the taste buds. But to him, this is just a small price to pay for what he calls “the world's best job”.
Harrison's family has been in the ice cream business for four generations, and Harrison himself has spent almost his whole life in it as well. Yet, he has never lost his love of the cold, creamy sweetness. He orders ice cream in restaurants for dessert, even when he's not at work. On these occasions, he swallows the ice cream, taking in about a liter a week. Though he has gained some weight over the years he's been with Dreyer's, he couldn't care less. “Who would trust a skinny ice cream taster ” he jokes.
1.What is forbidden in Harrison's job
A.Doing shopping. B.Eating the ice cream.
C.Using gold spoons. D.Skipping the ice cream.
2.What can we learn about Harrison
A.He learned his work skills from his family.
B.His job affects his appetite for the ice cream.
C.He is willing to give up something for his job.
D.He has to gain some weight to meet the need of the work.
3.What does Harrison think of his job
A.Creative. B.Ordinary.
C.High-paid. D.Proud.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To describe Harrison's job and how he does it.
B.To analyze the reasons why Harrison chose his job.
C.To make suggestions on how to apply for popular careers.
D.To introduce the advantages of working for a best-selling brand.
B
Millions of Americans sit behind a computer screen, chained to their desk all day because the vast majority of stable, high-paid professions are “office jobs”. However, having a successful career does not require you to sit behind a desk and plug away at a computer all day.
In fact, there are a large number of non-desk jobs in a variety of industries that are growing and offering workers a direct path to the middle class, according to a new analysis of labor market information from CareerBuilder. While most of the highest-paid non-desk jobs are medical professions that require a doctoral or professional degree, there are 170 non-desk professions that pay $15 per hour or more, do not require a Bachelor's degree for a typical entry-level position, and have seen at least 6 percent job growth over the last four years.
“The US workforce has gradually changed to office-based work because of the rise of the professional service economy and productivity gains associated with information technology,” Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources at CareerBuilder, said in a statement.
“But some of the healthiest areas of job growth year after year are in middle-skill professions that don't require workers to sit in front of computer monitors and phones for 40 hours a week.”
Here are the top-paid jobs that don't require you to work at a desk of various kinds, none of which require a four-year college degree. And their hourly salary and growth rate are as follows since 2010:professional assistants:$26.57, 14 percent; elevator repairers:$37.81, 6 percent; mechanical engineering technicians:$25.19, 10 percent; electromechanical technicians:$24.68, 8 percent.
While they tend to pay less than traditional office jobs, non-desk professions provide a variety of benefits. Haefner pointed to a 2014 CareerBuilder survey that discovered employees who don't work at a desk all day were less likely to complain about their work environment and more dedicated to their work.
5.What does the underlined phrase “plug away” in the first paragraph probably mean
A.Turn off a switch. B.Look for a job.
C.Keep on working. D.Give up working.
6.What conclusion can we draw from the second paragraph
A.A non-desk job may provide you with a middle-class life.
B.The last four years has seen an increase in desk jobs.
C.The college degree is the ticket to a position.
D.A non-desk job cannot offer you a secure life.
7.What does the writer attempt to tell us
A.“Office jobs” are appealing to the middle class.
B.Non-desk jobs are a good choice for us.
C.“Office jobs” are secure and high-paid.
D.Non-desk professions are better than office jobs.

There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work involved and in the ways they influence a person's life. The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways. By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help yourself build the life you want. To do that, you need as much information as possible. The more you know about yourself, the better able you will be to choose a satisfying career.
What do people hope to acquire from a career Some people desire a high income. Some hope for fame. Others seek for adventure. Still others intend to serve people and make the world a better place. Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your values, your interests, and your aptitudes that will make you competent for your future work. Most people are happiest in jobs that fit their values, interests, and skills. Each person has many values, which vary in strength. For example, money is the strongest value and priority for some people—that is, wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts, behaviour, and emotions on the goal of earning a high income. Other values include devoting to religion, taking risks, spending time with family, and helping others.
Before making a career decision, you can ask yourself what is most important to you and examine your beliefs to better know your values. For example, is it important to you to work as a member of a team Or would you rather be in charge or work alone If working alone or being in charge is important to you, independence is probably one of your primary values.
