There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.

Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers.Theyhave a reputation for providing a great riding experience.

The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.

In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.

Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.

1.What does the underlined word "They" refer to?

A.Flooded waters. B.Wildlife journey.

C.Safari camps. D.Unique rides.

2.What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?

A.Seeing and feeling the real African life.

B.Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.

C.Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.

D.Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.

3.What does the underlined word "sedate" probably mean?

A.Wild and romantic. B.Slow and peaceful.

C.Hurry and thirsty. D.Active and excited.

4.The author introduced the riding experience in the OKavango Delta mainly by________.

During a career planning class, Brenda Fabian asked how many students use Facebook, a popular online networking community for college students. Almost everyone in the room raised a hand.“Then I asked how many knew that employers are reviewing Facebook for hiring purposes，”says Fabian，director for Center for Career Services at Susquehanna University.“No hands were raised, and their faces revealed the students' surprise.”

Although some parents do keep track of their teen's online activities，most teenagers don't realize that websites may be monitored by schools，prospective(未来的) employers or anyone else who might be interested in the teenager's lifestyle not just today but anytime in the future.

Most of us don't realize that the information that gets posted on the Internet may be deleted，but it doesn't disappear permanently.“The stuff is there forever，”says Jamie Riehle，director of Web Publishing at Lycos.“It is backed up (备份) on servers and doesn't go away.”

As company recruiters，college admission officers，law enforcement personnel and parents become more Web savvy (有见识的)，it becomes even more vital for teenagers to be cautious when posting any information on their websites. Even though sites that are private can be seen only by a preselected list of friends，there are companies that，for a fee，can dig deeper into cyberspace(网络空间) and find anything. Even government officials who thought that deleting email would exonerate(宣布……无罪) them from wrongdoing are discovering that，on the Web，there is no such thing as private or gone forever.

Steven Rothenberg，president and founder of College-Recruiter.com，suggests that teenagers think of their Web posts as tattoos（纹身）. “Inherently(内在地)，there is nothing wrong with them if they are private，”he says.“But if they are visible or offensive, it can affect the way others see you.”

1.The information posted on the Internet ________.

A．can be deleted easily

B．can't be deleted completely

C．usually falls in the hands of employers

D．remains for a long time

2.What do we know about sites that are private?

A．They are owned by some companies.

B．They charge people for viewing them.

C．They can keep the information a secret.

D．They are not so private as supposed.

3.The second paragraph implies that ________.

A．one who posts negative things may have their employment affected

B．a teenager should not write about his lifestyle online

C．it's hard for parents to keep track of their teen's online activities

D．the Internet is becoming more insecure

4.Steven Rothenberg believes that ________.

A．teenagers should not be allowed to post anything online

B．teenagers should keep their information private online

C．teenagers should be cautious about their posts online

D．teenagers should be monitored online

Many students start working during holidays to add extra money to their pockets. It also puts students in an environment where they learn new things. That is a way different from school activities and educational atmosphere. Landing a holiday job becomes easy when students realize the jobs that they are interested in. Now let’s see how to land a holiday job.

Holiday hiring usually begins during the fall season. Therefore, you should keep your resume(简历)ready with all necessary details in it, write more on your educational background and career goals. Mention your previous job experiences if you have worked in holidays. Express your hobbies, interests, and skills in your resume. An excellent resume provides greater chances of employment.

You should start looking for jobs at least a month before your holidays begin. Now if you are a fresher, then you must be wondering where to look for a holiday job and how to get a holiday job. Do not limit yourself to only one field. Register yourself in job websites and post your resume in their sites. You will find a large number of holiday jobs for students that will match your interest. Newspapers and magazines also have thousands of job advertisements for students.

I repeat once again that you do limit yourself to a single field, because it will limit your opportunity of landing a proper holiday job. Mail your resume to the expected companies or you can directly walk into their offices. Once you are chosen, they will ask you to join on a specific date. If you complete these processes before your vacation begins, then you can join in your vacation. In short, an early start is needed.

Once you have started working, you will soon experience the satisfaction of earning money. Last but not least, remember to discuss with your parents before making any decision.
