   In America, experts find that campus jobs can help students not only in their studies,but also in their lives after school. That is why more and more universities are providing work experience for students.

In 2011, Clemson University, a public university in South Carolina, asked Neil Burton, head of the Career Center, to develop a program that was not only a way of creating more jobs,but also a way to provide special positions that would teach students valuable skills related to their interests or fields of study. It also wanted the students to work in professional (专业的) environments that would provide useful experience in their job searches after college.

The program works like this: any professor or student in Clemson University in need of professional help can come up with a plan. This could be a biology professor looking for a research assistant, or an administrator who needs help raising donations (捐赠物) for the school. It can also be any outside organization that works with Clemson University, such as a company that is designing new building for the campus.

If the position meets the conditions of the program,it will be listed on Clemson University’s website. Students ask to be thought for the job and go through an interview(面试). If accepted, students are allowed to work for one term. Before they start, they are also required to take a class that tells them what to expect in the position. Finally, at the end of the term, students are tested on what they have learned from the experience.

The program has been a success from the very start. By 2014, Clemson University had 626 students working through the program. And Burton believes the program will have helped over 1,000 students by 2019.

“This is not just a success for the school. Students who take part in the program are 20% more likely to have a full-time job offer once they finish their studies. After all, every day spent in college should help prepare students for what comes after, not just classwork,” says Burton.

【小题1】Why did Clemson University ask Burton to develop the program?
A.To help poor students find jobs.
B.To research the relationship between studies and jobs.
C.To prepare students for the future after graduation.
D.To prepare some professional suggestions for Clemson University.
【小题2】Which is the right order of the things a student should do to work through the program?
a. Ask for a position.
b. Take a class.
c. Be tested.
d. Work for one term.
e. Have an interview.
A.a, b, c, e, d.B.b, c, a, d, e.
C.a, e, b, c, d.D.a, e, b, d, c.
【小题3】What can we know from Burton’s words in the last paragraph?
A.Campus jobs only help students in their studies.
B.Colleges can provide students with full-time jobs.
C.The program benefits students greatly.
D.Students working through the program are sure to find good jobs.
【小题4】In which part of a website can we read the passage?
A.Technology.B.Education.
C.Travel.D.Society.

What are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the new age? There are diseases like AIDS and cancer. There’s climate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the world’s growing population? Who’s going to solve all these terrible problems? Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes, businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But who’s going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change? It’s going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems.
If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist? It doesn’t mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of amazing things that are actually interesting!
Military scientists develop not only new weapons but new military technologies that could help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to catch criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrow’s scientists. Don’t think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking? You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing? Do you know that most top athletes work with sports scientists in order to improve their performance? You could even be the science writer who gets to spend the life studying the latest advances and sharing them with the world.

   What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others.  These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.  So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

Your school may have taught you skils, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else,you may have learned how to get to work on time,to follow rules and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop,for example. Just as important,you may become interested in a particular career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools;perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a number of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record,for instance,may not be too good,yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(道歉的)about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

【小题1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The importance of working hard at school.
B.Choosing a career according to one's strengths.
C.How to face one's weaknesses.
D.The value of schoolwork.
【小题2】The writer thinks that for a student,to have a part-time job is probably __________.
A.a good way to find out his weak points
B.one of the best ways of earning extra money
C.of great use to his work in the future
D.a waste of time he could have spent on study
【小题3】From the passage we learn that if a student's school performance is not good,he __________.
A.should pay more attention to learning skills
B.will be regretful about his bad results
C.may also do well in his future work
D.should restart his study in school
【小题4】What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Be not good at doing things.
B.Be skillful in doing things.
C.Be not interested in certain things.
D.Be easily bored with doing things.

The ninth week of SEAL(Sea, Air, Land) training is referred to as Hell Week. It is six days of no sleep, physical and mental suffering and one special day at the Mud Flats (泥沼)where you will sink into the mud.
It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that we came down to the mud flats and spend the next 15 hours trying to survive the freezing-cold mud, the cold wind and the strong pressure from the instructors to give up.
As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having broken some of the rules, was ordered into the mud. We sank into the mud until only our heads could be seen. The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would give up—just five men and we could get out of the cold.
Looking around the mud flat, it was clear that some of us were about to give up. It was still over eight hours till the sun came up--eight more hours of coldness. Our cries were so loud that it was hard to hear anything. And then, one voice began to fly through the night--one voice raised in song.
The song sounded terrible, but it was sung with great power. One voice became two, and two became three, and before long everyone in the class was singing.
We knew that if one man could rise above the suffering then others could as well. The instructors warned us of more time in the mud if we kept up the singing—but the singing went on and on. And somehow, the mud seemed a little warmer, the wind a little weaker and the morning not so far away.
If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world, it is the power of hope. The power can change the world by giving people hope.
So, if you want to change the world, start singing when you're up to your neck in mud.

【小题3】What did the class do when they were in the mud?
A.Five of them gave up.
B.They cried all the time.
C.Someone sang from the beginning.
