Thats why the economics professor decided to add careerplanning to her class, even starting before young people step onto a college campus.Throughout this semester, Voicus real-world economics class has visited about 100 Winter Park High students. It has asked them to think about everything from picking the right major (专业) to the job market and the cost of higher education.“They have to balance what they need to do and what they love to do,” said Rollins freshman Nicholas Kay, 18.During their final class of the semester, Kay and his classmates reflected on what it waslike helping younger versions (版本) of themselves explore the future. Voicu expects to continue the class so she can collect data (数据) to see if working together is making a difference.“These kids were only eight months younger than me,” said Rollins freshman Blake Buell, an 18-year-old business management major.The high school students also went on a tour of the Winter Park college, seeing what life was like on campus, how admissions worked and what a dorm room looked like. They askedRollins students questions including “How does the food taste?” and “What are classes like?” Winter Park sophomore (二年级学生) Sebastian Zendejas, 15, said it was eye-opening and helped him to understand how college could be.“I dont want to have a bunch of (大量的) debt when Im leaving college,” said Zendejas, who plans to study business.The lessons that showed students job availability were something many had never thought about before, said Tim Arnold, one of the four Winter Park High teachers involved in the project. The students also took personality tests to see where they might fit best.Looking at the data and realizing how many good jobs there were in the science, technology, engineering and math fields made some of Voicus students feel better. “I should really stick with this,” said computer science first-year student Brandi Moore, 18.21.

But I also want you to understand that realizing your dreams comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.Girls, here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur (企业家) and from your mama.1. Be open-minded to changing your path (even several times) along the wayIn high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington, DC. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that Im creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind tolaunching a breast pump bag (储奶袋) business. Now I run a highly successful company that Istarted up on my own.Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate about. Keep an open mind; the initial (最初的) path you choose may lead you into other areas.Dont waste your money or time, but constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself.2. Failure is critical to your successI wont tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure Ive had along the way has absolutely made me better.Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and Ive never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.Being passed over for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions (being too young for the role) hurt me.I had a three-month pity party. And then I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27. Its okay to get angry! Take that and turn it into positive action.Im proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.26.

With the rapid economic growth in China, you can expect a number doubling that in the near future.If you think you know all the ad tricks in the book and will never be talked into buying something you don't really want, wait till you finish reading this article.While "hard-sell" ads are easy to detect such as those with cheerful Olympic champions or film stars holding products and feeding you reasons why they are bargains we are less clever when faced with "soft-sell" methods. The most common technique of this kind is to make customers think there is an immediate need to buy the product. So next time you see words like hurry, act now, last chance, now or never etc., think twice. Most of the chances aren't as short lived as they seem to be.Is that the only type of soft-sell advertising? Of course not. Soft-sell advertising includes give away samples and concert sponsorships. Different types of advertising work in different places and for different products. "There's never a one-size-fits-all technique. It has to be tailor made for each situation," says Gillian Greene, Creative Director of Cheesy Bee, an advertising company in London.Other than speaking directly to customers, some ads are also made for investors and shopowners. Why? Because when the investors see the expensive, well-made ads, they believe that the company is running a good business. Then they're happy to invest more money in it, even though the ad itself does not appeal to anyone in the street. In the same way, shop owners prefer to stock well-advertised goods because they know that customers are more likely to buy them.Therefore, advertising can help sell goods even when it's not directed at the customers.Ads work in every stage of a business, and that perhaps is the best ad for the industry itself.31. What is this article mainly about?A. It is hard not to be influenced by ads.B. It is easy to run a good advertising business.C. Advertising helps make money.D. Advertising helps industries grow.32. The "soft-sell " technique mentioned in Paragraph 3 refers to .A. Products that are real bargainsB. Short-lived adsC. Misleading words that appear adsD. Images of Olympic champions 33.Which of the following is true according to the article?A. “Sofy-selling”methods are easy to detect.B. Not all ads are speaking directly to customers.C. Tailors are needed in making ads.D. Customers should always think of buying goods in a hurry.34. What does“it”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.the advertisementB. the customerC. the companyD.the “soft-sell”method 35.What can you conclude from the articleA.If we are careful, we can avoid adsB.Expensive ads are more attractive. C.Customers will buy goods that are well-advertisedD.Ads are powerfulD第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。To tip or not to tip? And how much should you tip?36. While people in the US usually leave a tip of no less than 15 percent of their bills, Britons are known for being less generous and tip 9 percent on average, according to a recent study done by online restaurant booking service Open Table.37.
