During the past 20 years, thanks to education, we have had a rapid development in industry, science and technology in China. Education can not only enrich people's knowledge, but also improve people's living standard. However, a growing number of college students realize the uncertainties(不确定性)of their future jobs. Sixty five students who graduated from Shandong University took part in a survey. And 30 percent of the students are boys and 70 percent of the students are girls. The average age of them is 20 years old. Here are the results.
Q1. Which way do you want to choose to find a job
Q2. What kind of job do you prefer
It is surprising that most of the college students don't want to work in a major related(与专业相关的)field. They think the university teaches learning methods instead of professional knowledge. As a result, a cross professional(跨专业的)job will not have an influence on the future development, and this will give them more challenges.
1. How many students took part in the survey
A. 65. B. 40. C. 30. D. 70.
2. According to results,about____ students look for jobs through friends or relatives.
A. 3. B. 11. C. 7. D. 44.
3. How many different ways do the students have to look for a job
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
4. How many percent of students don't know what kind of job they prefer

There are many kinds of colors.They make the world colorful.Different people like different colors.

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here is a story to help you.
Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness.
It flew and flew. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn't give up. The little bird asked the spider in surprise. “Why don't you have pain but happiness on your face though you failed again and again?”
“Because I keep making my efforts. I'm happy, ” said the spider.
Then the little bird saw it: happiness is a will in the heart.
The bird continued flying and saw a lame(瘸的) duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face.
“I'm happy because I can help others, ” said the lame duck.
So the bird saw it: happiness is love in the heart.
The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smiles. The bird didn't know the reason. So it asked the little flower, “You're going to die. Why are you still so happy?”
“Because my dream will come true, ” said the little flower.
“What is your dream?”
“To produce sweet fruit. ”
The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.

A terrible day
I have never been late for school, but yesterday I came very close.
Last Sunday evening, it was windy. Tim was at home alone preparing for a chemistry test. His parents went out for a walk and his sister went running in the park. Suddenly, he saw a fire coming out of his neighbor's kitchen. He called 119 right away and then knocked at his neighbor's door, but no one answered. He got into the house through the window and found his neighbor was sleeping in the bedroom. He woke the neighbor up and then they ran away from the house together. Luckily, the firemen came soon and put out the fire quickly. Though Tim was dirty and tired, he was very happy.
