Few students would dream of getting a job as a shoe shiner working along the street. College students, in their own eyes and in the eyes of the public, are expected to get at least a proper job, if not working in a high-income or white-collar position.
Cai Yong’s decision to work as a shoe shiner shocked not only his parents, who had high hopes for him, but also his girlfriend.
“It is right for young graduates to be ambitious (有抱负的). But they have to start in a solid
and down-to-earth way,” Cai said. Cai is not alone in making such a choice. The company has got
12 college students in all.
“I come for the 800 yuan monthly pay,” said Xiao Ji, who is a student from Nanjing University. “I have grown up and no longer live on my parents,” he said.
“Working as shoe shiners can mean a bright future,” Cai said.
Not everyone can accept this job choice. Cai’s girlfriend left him because she felt ashamed to be with a shoe shiner, and Cai accepted the fact. “This is the price to be paid for a job,” he said.
A former shoe shiner, Zhong Haibo, from a medical college, believes it was a good training for the rest of his life. “There is nothing I can’t do after working as a shoe shiner,” Zhong said, meaning that such kind of experience in early life is helpful in a future job.

Most of us would like to have glowing skin, especially as we get older. The good news is that you don’t have to wait until summer to catch some sun rays. Scientists have found eating plenty of fruit and vegetables is by far the best way to achieve a healthy, golden glow.
Dr. Ian Stephen said, “Most people think that the best way to improve their skin color is to get a suntan(棕褐色). But our research shows that eating lots of fruit and vegetables is actually more effective.”
The team first assessed the skin color of people in relation to their diet. Those who ate more fruit and vegetables a day were found to have a more golden, yellow skin color. Those with a healthy glow had a higher presence of carotenoids(类胡萝卜素), which play a role in the immune system. Carotenoids are commonly found in fruit and vegetables such an yellow and red peppers, spinach, apricots and melons.
The team then studied the relation between skin tone and attractiveness. They used specialist software to operate the skin color on the images of 51 faces to simulate(模拟)more or less carotenoids and suntans. Participants were then asked to adjust the skin color to make the faces look as healthy as possible. Given the choice between skin color enhanced by suntans and skin color enhanced by carotenoids, people preferred the carotenoids skin color.
The study shows that not only do people use skin color to judge how healthy other individuals are, but they are accurate when they make those judgments. While this study focus on Caucasian(白种人的)faces, it suggests this phenomenon may exist across cultures, since similar preferences for skin yellowness are found in an African population.
1.Which statement is TRUE according to the text?
A. Carotenoids are only found in the fruit.
B. Carotenoids are important in the immune system
C. Carotenoids can be improved by catching sun rays.
D. Carotenoids are the only factor that affects the skin color.
2.According to the text, people preferred _______.
A. the yellow skin color
B. the skin color as white as possible
C. the skin color enhanced by suntans
D. the skin color enhanced by carotenoids
3.What can we learn from the text?
A. Young girls should not eat many melons.
B. There’s no need to worry about our skin color.
C. We cannot judge a person from his appearance.
D. Skin color is a clue to judge whether a person is healthy or not.
4.What’s the author’s intention of writing this passage?
A. To show us how to get glowing skin.
B. To persuade us to get suntans every day.
C. To explain different diets in different cultures.
D. To share his experience of improving the skin.

For a girl who's interested in fashion, what would be the dream job? Being a model? Probably

高二英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析
I'm often told how I have a dream job, that I work for a great company, getting to deal with the leaders in social media every day, and especially that I get to work from my home.
Usually the people who tell me that working from home is wonderful have never worked from home. They spend most of their career working from an office and hate it.
In fact, I love being able to work from home and make my own hours. I truly appreciate being able to drop what I'm doing to attend kids or go shopping, but there's a side to it we don't often talk about, the hard side. No one wants to believe people like me, working from home, have anything to complain about. Really, I'm not going to complain, but I do want to share a few things about telecommuting (远程办公) that few home-based people want to tell you, because working from home doesn't look so wonderful.
One of the reasons I love my job is the flexibility(灵活性). I know that I can volunteer for school projects, meet friends for lunch and work out for an hour as long as I get my work done. But did you know telecommuters have to make up the time if they wish to fill their days with fun items? So while my husband and kids are watching a movie, I'm working until midnight. Besides, when you work from home, you're held to your phone and Skype (网络电话) in case someone wants to talk to you during business hours. So it's not so easy to be flexible!
1.We learn from the passage that the writer_____________.
A. can balance her work and family life well
B. is quite satisfied with her present work
C. presents some unknown facts of working from home
D. complains about the disadvantages of working from office
2.The last paragraph mainly tells us that__________.
A. you're usually a slave to yourself
B. the writer is always busy with her work
C. the writer can always make full use of the freedom
D. you're not as flexible as you think you are
3.The writer probably agrees that__________.
A. get work done, or you'll have no freedom
B. east or west, home working is the best
C. freedom should always come before work
D. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
4.Who is the passage mainly intended for?
A. Job hunters. B. Office workers.
C. Researchers. D. Telecommuters.
高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
Finding your dream job can be difficult. This month, the search will become even harder as new graduates start looking for work. With many companies still struggling, job hunters have a very difficult task ahead of them.
Don’t be disappointed. 1. Consider using these three methods to find and get the job of your dreams.
The Front Door
2. These include checking company websites and employment services. Since lots of people use the front door, make yourself stand out. This means understanding what a company really needs and creatively showing you can meet that need. 3. Find out who is doing the hiring, and try to give them your resume (简历) in person. Then follow up with a phone call, letter or visit.
The Back Door
A back-door job search means finding a job through people you know. The back door can help you avoid the crowd of job applicants using the front door. 4. What if you don’t have any connections at your dream company? Apply for an internship (实习期).
The Invisible Door
If you’re still not getting hired, you might be running into an invisible (无形的) door. Invisible doors are things companies want from new employees but don’t list as job requirements. Many companies have special company cultures. Others are looking for people with very specific skills. 5.
It’s not always easy to find a good job. But with a little work, a door will open!
A. Using the front door is convenient.
B. Create your own back door.
C. This type of job search uses traditional ways of getting hired.
D. If you aren’t showing you are a perfect fit, you won’t get hired.
E. There are still jobs out there for those who know what to look for.
F. But you still need to work hard to show you are the best person for the job.
G. Read about each company you apply to.
