Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand different.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the "dream job" of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or "vlogger". The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as many as 40 percent of them put vloggers as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting(交流)with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame(名声)and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame, but that allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the
Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.

Immigrant children are often highly motivated and have ambitious parents. And these clever, knowledge-hungry youngsters often achieve higher results than the rest of the classmates.
In 1954, the United States opened its borders to an immigrant from Syria. His son, Steve Jobs, became one of the most creative entrepreneurs(企业家).In the current refugee crisis, that might look like a fairy tale, but it is not that unbelievable.
While immigrant youngsters might face cultural, social and economic disadvantages, the top 10% of 15- year-old students with an immigrant background in the United States did just as well as the top 10% without an immigrant background, as measured by Pisa, an international test.
In fact, when considering social background, these high-achieving immigrant teenagers were almost a school year ahead.
This doesn't only happen in the United States. In 13out of the 37 countries with comparable data, including the United Kingdom, the top 10% of immigrants were at least 10 points ahead of the non-immigrant students in Pisa, after considering social background.
These highly motivated students, managing to overcome the double disadvantages of poverty and an immigrant background, have the potential(潜力)to make exceptional contributions to their host countries.
On average across all countries, top performing immigrants and non-immigrants reached similar levels of performance on the Pisa mathematics test. Many immigrants seem determined to make the most of any opportunity that arises. Their children also seem ready to take on an academic challenge. Alongside the Pisa are questions about students' willingness to try to solve more complex problems. First-generation immigrants, including in the UK, are more likely than average to want to stretch themselves and try to answer more difficult problems.
The OECD's research shows that in most cases immigrant students and their parents hold an ambition to win the matches, and in some cases they go beyond the expectations of families in their host country. For example, parents of immigrant students in Belgium, Germany and Hungary are more likely to expect that their children will go to university and get a degree than parents of students without an immigrant background.
【小题1】Why is Steve Jobs referred as an example?A.To criticize the policy of the United States. |
B.To prove immigrant children caused all the refugee crisis. |
C.To agree that immigrant children could get along well with others. |
D.To show immigrant children could make better achievements than those in their native countries. |
A.are all the questions from Pisa |
B.exist only in the United Kingdom |
C.are objective factors for the children to face |
D.make the children hard to catch up with their classmates |
A.Make themselves longer by pulling. |
B.Extend their knowledge or ability. |
C.Occupy a large area. |
D.Show off themselves. |
A.All the parents hope for their children's achievements. |
B.Parents play an important role in their children's getting over the difficulty in study. |
C.Parents' cleverness results in their children's achievements. |
D.Immigrant children's achievements result from a strong drive for success. |

It is known to all that we today's students fix our attentions on our lessons, so we know little of society. A holiday was the best time and the best chance to make up that. Taking a part-time job is a good form of social practice. What we have learned in books or in class can't have the same important effect on us as which we have learned through personal practice. In social practice, we can surely make a progress in both knowledge and practical abilities. However, when we take a part-time job, we may get paying more or less to help our family. Thus, I will say senior school students should take part-time jobs in our holidays, if it's possibly.
