When Jen Harris was laid off from her job at MPC Computers in Idaho last October,she tweeted the message “just been laid off from MPC”,“By the time I left the parking lot,I had a job offer from a friend that had a Web development company in town,” she told CNNMoney.
It's difficult to know how many people are actually finding work this way.But it's obvious from interviews with job seekers,employers,coaches and managers that the Twitter phenomenon is fundamentally changing the way people search for jobs.
“A lot of companies aren't advertising jobs in traditional ways,” says Jason Rivera,a graphic artist who teamed up with other San Francisco Twiners “to lead the pink slip party (失业聚会) movement” for the networking messes.Rivera says Twitter allows companies to easily “follow” potential candidates online,while giving job hunters a backdoor peek at companies where they may be interested in applying for a job.
“It's a great way to get up to the minute information about a company and its latest products,” Rivera says,“as well as give you a shot at actually talking to a hiring manager on Twitter,as opposed to having your e mailed resume end up as the 500th in his in box.At the same time,Twitter gives managers faster,more efficient ways to get through the mess,and that save them money.”
Paul Mabray knows that firsthand.As a chief strategy officer for Napabased VinTank,a wine industry think tank(智囊团),he used Twitter to spot and then practically “follow” the 23 year old job candidate and gifted Twitter,Ashley Bellview.“We got to learn about her personality,her work ethic and her thought process by the information she'd linked to in her tweets and by how she communicated with other people on Twitter,” Mabray says.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One spring morning many years ago, I had been prospecting for gold along Coho Creek. As I emerged from a forest, I froze in my tracks. No more than 20 paces away in the bog(泥塘)was a huge Alaskan timber wolf-caught in one of Trapper George’s traps.
Old George had died the previous week of a heart attack, so the wolf was lucky. Confused and frightened at my approach, the wolf backed away, pulling hard on the trap chain. Then I noticed something else: It was a female, and her teats(奶头)were full of milk. Somewhere there was a den(窝)of hungry pups waiting for their mother.
From her appearance, I guessed that she had been trapped only a few days. That meant her pups were probably still alive. But I suspected that if I tried to release the wolf, she would turn aggressive and try to tear me to pieces.
So I decided to search for her pups instead and began to look for incoming tracks that might lead me to her den. Fortunately, there were still a few remaining patches of snow.
The tracks led a half mile through the forest, and I finally spotted the den. There wasn’t a sound inside. Wolf pups are shy and cautious, and I didn’t have much hope of tricking them outside. But I had to try. So I began copying the squeak(吱吱声)of a mother wolf calling her young. No response. A few moments later, after I tried again, four tiny pups appeared. I extended my hands, and they tentatively(试探性地)suckled at my fingers. Perhaps hunger had helped overcome their natural fear. Then, one by one, I placed them in a bag and headed back.
When the mother wolf spotted me, she stood straight. Possibly picking up the scent(气味)of her young, she let out a sorrow-stricken crying. I released the pups, and they raced to her. Within seconds, they were slurping(啜食)at her belly.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。

二、阅读理解
1.A [推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,去年10月被解雇时,詹哈里斯在推特上发了一条失业信息,于是她就很快就收到了一份工作邀请(获得了一份新的工作),再结合第二段可知,推特正在从根本上改变人们找工作的方式,由此可知,第一段提到詹哈里斯就是为了证明推特正在成为求职者找工作的重要工具,故A项正确。]
2.B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“while giving job hunters a backdoor peek at companies where they may be interested in applying for a job.”可知,推特为求职者提供了一个后门,让他们得以窥探自己可能有兴趣申请工作的公司,由此可知,推特为求职者提供了一个更多地了解自己感兴趣的公司的机会,故选B。]
3.D [细节理解题。根据最后一段中作为葡萄酒行业智囊团Napabased VinTank的首席战略官,保罗·马布里利用推特发现并“跟踪”23岁的求职者——非常有天赋的阿什利,由此可知,阿什利被认为是个有天赋的候选人,故选D。]
4.B [标题归纳题。通读全文,特别是根据第二段中的“the Twitter phenomenon is fundamentally changing the way people search for jobs.”可知,推特正在从根本上改变人们找工作的方式,由此可知,本文主要介绍的是推特正在成为求职者找工作的重要工具(推特帮助人们找工作),所以这篇文章最好的题目是“推特帮助找工作”,故选B。]
三、读后续写
What next I wondered. So tender were the pups that it was impossible for them to resist danger without mother’s protection. Hence, I made up my mind to release her. But how A good idea occurred to me. I went back to my truck and fetched an iron bar. Using a rock as the supporting point, I unlocked the chain and set the wolf free. Realizing my rescue, the wolf kept still to cooperate. After gaining freedom, she howled at me with her head low, showing her gratitude. Then, the mother wolf led her pups to go forward, disappearing in the forest.
Four years later, I returned to Coho Creek. The previous gold searching spot had been transformed into a natural wildlife reserve. As I paced, the sound of my footsteps was accompanied only by the gracefully waving leaves. All of a sudden, a beautiful mid-sized pool came into my sight, with a group of wolves scattered around, licking water or lying on the grass leisurely. Noticing my approaching, the wolves gathered. I was seized by a strong sense of horror, my palms sweating. Meanwhile, a leading wolf came forwards, howling at me with her head low. The memory crossed my mind. It was the wolf that I saved years ago. Before long, she turned back, leading her offspring to the forest. How amazing to see them again!
