32、there are many top graduates looking for top jobs, graduates can differentiate(区别) themselves by obtaining a double major or even a double degree. Increasingly, employers are looking for individuals who are not only competent and intelligent, but who have different skill sets and who are knowledgeab

33、le in many areas. Part of the appeal to employers is that your extra work demonstrates a willingness to take on difficult tasks. Additionally, if your majors overlap (重叠), you are able to show potential employers that you have both breadth and depth of knowledge.By studying for a double major, altho

34、ugh you will be studying for only one degree, you will be focusing on two related and integrated subjects that complement (补充) each other. Classes overlap between the majors, meaning fewer classes are required than with a double degree, so it is easier to finish within four years.In contrast, with t

35、he more rigorous (严格的) double degree, you will be studying for two different degrees in two completely different areas of study. Although pursuing such a course of study allows students to complete two wholly separate degrees in less time than if they were to earn them separately, many strong studen

36、ts still find it incredibly difficult to complete in four or five years.If you are committed to a double major/degree, it is wise to do a little bit of planning. Some students try to find two courses of studies that are related, while others seek to round out their academic studies by choosing two c

37、ompletely unrelated fields. For double majors, common pairings include: (i) economics and a foreign language; (ii) political science or government and journalism; (iii) economics and psychology.For double degrees, common pairings include: (i) engineering and a business program such as finance or acc

38、ounting; (ii) engineering and economics.56. What do employers think of the graduates with different skill sets and knowledge in many areas? A. They should be given top jobs.B.

40、ectsC. need to spend more time than obtaining a double degreeD. have to take courses in two completely different areas of study 59. If you are devoted to a double major or degree, you should _. A. find two subjects with overlapping classesB. learn about what your potential employers wantC. decide wh

41、at to learn with your intentions consideredD. try to decide on some common pairings as soon as possible60. Which statement is CORRECT according to the passage?A. Economics is a major while engineering is a degree.B. Every college student should take a double major or degree.C. Earning a double degre

42、e is more difficult than obtaining a double major. D Some students choose two completely unrelated fields to show their ability in academic study.BCANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKETHIS? The ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks(标点符号) probably didnt bother good r

43、eaders, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switched directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc.The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: Theyputapointbetweeneach

44、wordinasentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word punctum, which means a prick(刺). When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The space separated words and while the points showed pauses in reading. Then in the 13th ce

45、ntury, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma.Since that time, other marks hav

46、e enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark comes form the Latin word xt. It was originally formed by putting an upper-case(大写字母) I on the lower-case xt. The Latin word xt means “exclamation of joy.” The question mark originally started out as the Latin word question, meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question. Over time, it became a symbol formed by putting a lower-case q on an
