Today, it is a big problem for young graduates to get satisfying jobs. 1 that there are thousands of different kinds of jobs in the world. But choosing the right one itself is not easy.

    "Finding a job" is not 2 as "choosing a job". Many young people end up in a job because they are not 3 for it. Sometimes "chance" may 4 a more important part than "decision".

    Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs 5 you might enjoy doing after school or university. First, it is important 6 what kind of person you are, which special qualities(品质) 7 you outstanding(出众的) among people and what you are interested in. There is a difference 8 an interest and a skill. If you like 9 and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can 10 a horse that looks like a horse not a big dog, that is a 11.

    Then ask yourself a question, "In the following three areas -- skills with people, skills with information and skills with things, which are your 12 skills?"

    After 13 your skills, the next step is research. To 14 as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends 15 the work they do.

    Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, just find the job you really enjoy doing.

    In a small town in France, there was a farmer who lied alone. Every day, he1a pound of butter to his neighbour, who was a baker. One day the baker decided to2the butter to see if he was getting a pound. After he weighed it, he found that he wasn't. The baker then took3farmer to the judge(法官）.

    The judge asked the farmer if he had any way to weigh the butter. The farmer replied, "I am so4that I do not have enough money to buy anything to weigh it,5I do ha)e a kind of scale(天平)." The judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the butter?" The farmer replied, "Before the baker started buying butter from6, I had bought bread from him. So now every time when I bring home the bread from the baker, I put it on the scale and give him the butter of the same weight."

    We7what we give to others in life. Whenever you take action, ask yourself this8, "Am I honest?"

    Honesty or dishonesty can become9. Some dishonest people can lie(说谎）without a red face. Others lie so much that they do not e)en10what the truth is any more. But who is it bad for? As a matter of fact, those who lie will hurt themselves by their own dishonest behaviour.

    I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

    After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very thankful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was surprised. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(负责的) for my injury(受伤), I'd have to have a good lawyer(律师). And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair(公平的) that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report only has ten lines, and it cost me $215.

    My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he didn't want to see me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.

    Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance(保险) company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

    Lots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long, but what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.

    If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. Sometimes it's a big problem with your classes and school-work. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you'll never catch up.

    When you know why you don't like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(顾问)will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions(情绪). Remember, you don't have to share what you've written with others.
