Before you accept quickly and gladly the first job offer that comes your way after college, consider this: your first job will probably be the most important decision you will ever make in your career.

The people you meet are often more important than your paycheck. Making your managers' job easier is a good way to earn their favor, but they shouldn't be your only supporters. The people sitting next to you

may be your boss someday or, even better, they may know someone who might want to hire you in a field you actually want to work in. Those office are ready to negotiate your next pay raise or promotion, you will want to lean on co-workers who have been in your shoes and may have insights on salary expectations you should be asking for.

Your first job will make you better for your second, third and fourth jobs. Your first job is the final opportunity to take chances, make mistakes, ask ^stupid'* questions and still come out smelling like roses. But while you're trying things out, be conscious about what you have learned and how you can apply it later. Even if you haven't landed a job in your desired industry, you should be able to come up with a list of at least three to five valuable skills you've picked up that will impress a future employer. Hiring managers are much more forgiving of those who had to do some job-hopping (跳槽）to get to where they wanted to be — in this economy, who could blame you? — but they're still going to want to know that you can get the job done.

Negotiating your salary early in your career can improve your lifetime earnings. Your first job can be a great testing ground for your negotiation skills. Trust me that no hiring manager will dock you for having the confidence to ask for the salary you believe you deserve so long as you do it right.

24. Who is this article intended for?

A. Those who have taken their first job.

B. Those who arc quitting their first job.

C. Those who are looking for their first job.

D. Those who intend to offer others the first job.

25. What does “allies” in Para 2 mean?

A. Your enemies in working.

B. Your supportive colleagues.

C. Your competitors in working.

D. Your bosses or your managers.

26. In which situation could hiring managers blame you?

A. You can't do the job.

B. You ask stupid questions.

C. You ask for a too high salary.

D. You have to do some job-hopping.

27. What is mainly talked about in this passage?

A. The advice on changing a job.

B. The importance of the first job.

C. The way of avoiding job-hopping.

D. The necessity of doing the same job.

C

In museums all over the world, one rule defeats all others: look but don’t touch the works. But what if you can't look? Why should being blind prevent a person from appreciating works of art that are not only masterpieces, but also an important part of his or her country's cultural history? That was the question facing the Madrid's Prado museum. As with many other European museums, the Prado has worked hard over recent years to widen access to its collections. Up until now, however, blind and partially sighted people have been unable to enjoy the museum's vast collection, which includes works by Goya, El Greco and Velazquez.

The solution, the president of the museum concluded, was not simply offering audio or Braille(盲文)guides, but to create 3-D copies of key works, which visitors could touch. By inviting them to break the

“no touching” rule in their new “Touching the Prado” exhibit, visually impaired (受损的）visitors can at last gain some appreciation of the works on display.

More than a year ago, then, the museum invited companies from across Spain to launch the project before choosing Estudios Durero, a Basque company specializing in the fine arts. What set them apart from their rivals was that, rather than using standard 3-D printing, they have developed a technique that they call “Didú,” which allows them to produce works that are both rich in texture (纹理）and color. Eager to keep the exact details of their process a secret, Velasco explained that it includes taking a high resolution image of a painting and then working with the blind and partially sighted members of the team to identify which details need to be emphasized.

A Madrid native, Fernandez, was born blind and is now visiting the Prado for the first time. 41Yes, I can feel the texture of the skin, the short beards 2ind even the look of surprise on the men’s mouths,” said Fernandez. “We learned all about the great Spanish artists at school, of course, but it's only now that I can start to understand what made them special in their own unique ways.”

Plans are in place to further expand the current exhibition to involve a wider sample of the Prado's collection and to make other museums and galleries more accessible to the visually impaired.28. What probably led to Tutankhamen's death according to the newest study?

28. What is the most effective solution to no touching rule?

A. Providing audio.

B. Offering braille guides.

C. Creating touchable 3-D copies.

D. Inviting the blind to break the rule.

29. Why did Velasco choose to work with the blind?

A. Because of their taste of art.

B. Because of their professional knowledge.

C. Because of their acquisition of printing skills.

D. Because of their ability to identify important details.

30. How did Fernandez feel when he visited the Prado?

A. Amazed. B. Disappointed. C. Shocked. D. Encouraged.

31. In which column of the newspaper do you probably find the passage?

A. Life. B. Education. C. Society. D. Technology.

D

I have two friends, Seth and Michael, and one of them is a lot happier than the other. To understand why these two men are so different, let me tell you a little bit about them.

Both are in their early 40s and doing well in their careers. Seth is a professor at a famous university, who has reasonably bright students and many opportunities for travel. His research program has been successful, gaining attention from all over the US. Michael is a lawyer in a small but beautiful city. He is good at dealing with civil matters, and his success as a lawyer has led to occasional media appearances, in which he is asked to speak about his latest cases. Both have fine families.

Thus, why is Michael happier than Seth? Was he simply lucky to be born with a sunnier disposition (性情)? Or, is he more fortunate with regard to the events and circumstances of his life?

On balance, neither of them seems to have the better job, wife, kids, house or car. Furthermore, scientific research has shown that success, health and physical attractiveness are only minimally related to one's overall happiness.

What about genetics? Growing research done with fraternal twins (异卵双胞胎）suggests that each
