二、閱讀理解(11-30)

When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保單), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.

A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favour, assuming he or she has a just claim.

Consumers shoud complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo(立體聲音響)does not work."

The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers‘rights.

11.When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to ______.

A. complain personally to the manager

B. threaten to take the matter to court

C. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase

D. show some written proof of the purchase to the store

答案：D

解析：答案D。本題答案在原文第一句中可以找到。它的大意是：當(dāng)顧客發(fā)現(xiàn)他(她)所買(mǎi)的商品有毛病或在其他方面未達(dá)到制造商所聲稱(chēng)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時(shí)，第一步就是將保單或其他有助于解決問(wèn)題的記錄這家商店看。所以D“向這家商店出示書(shū)面證明”，與原文相符，是正確答案。而A“當(dāng)面向經(jīng)理申訴”，是在第一步中問(wèn)題得不到解決時(shí)才使用，所以它不是此題答案。B“威脅將此事向法庭上訴”是在經(jīng)理未能解決問(wèn)題，寫(xiě)信給廠家也未能解決問(wèn)題時(shí)才使用的方法，所以它也不是解決問(wèn)題的第一步。C“給商店寫(xiě)一封態(tài)度強(qiáng)硬的抱怨信”也是在第一步中問(wèn)題得不到解決時(shí)才使用的。所以A.B.C均不是正確答案。

12.If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it's better to complain to _______.

A. a shop assistant

B. the store manager

C. the manufacturer

D. a public organization

答案：B

解析：答案B。此題源于第二段。作者認(rèn)為許多消費(fèi)者使用的簡(jiǎn)單而又常用的辦法是直接向商店經(jīng)理投訴。

13. The most effective complaint can be made by______.

A. showing the faulty item to the manufacturer

B. explaining exactly what is wrong with the item

C. saying firmly that the item is of poor quality

D. asking politely to change the item

答案：B

解析：答案B。原文第四段的大意是：當(dāng)顧客申訴商品有質(zhì)量問(wèn)題時(shí)，態(tài)度要堅(jiān)定、有禮貌，特別是如果消費(fèi)者當(dāng)場(chǎng)演示就能最有效地達(dá)到申訴目的。不能當(dāng)場(chǎng)演示時(shí)也要提出比較具體的質(zhì)量間題。A、C、D三項(xiàng)都是泛泛地說(shuō)質(zhì)量差、有毛病，而沒(méi)能說(shuō)出該商品哪一個(gè)具體的部位有毛病，所以都不是最有效的解決問(wèn)題的辦法。而B(niǎo)項(xiàng)“準(zhǔn)確解釋商品哪里有問(wèn)題”與原文相符，是正確答案。

14. The phrase "live up to" (Para. 1, Line 2) in the context means ________.

A. meet the standard of

B. realize the purpose of

C. fulfil the demands of

D. keep the promise of

答案：A

解析：答案A。live up to所在句子的意思是：“當(dāng)顧客發(fā)現(xiàn)他所購(gòu)買(mǎi)的商品有毛病或在某種程度上沒(méi)有達(dá)到制造商所聲稱(chēng)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時(shí)，…”。B項(xiàng)“實(shí)現(xiàn)(制造商所聲稱(chēng)的)目的”，句意不通;C項(xiàng)“滿(mǎn)足(制造商所聲稱(chēng)的)要求”;D項(xiàng)“履行(制造商所聲稱(chēng)的)承諾”，C、D兩項(xiàng)均與原文意思不符。而A項(xiàng)“達(dá)到(制造商所聲稱(chēng)的)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”正是原文 所表達(dá)的意思，所以是正確答案。

15. Tthe passage tells us _______.

A. how to settle a consumer's complaint about a faulty item

B. how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item

C. how to avoid buying a faulty item

D. how to deal with complaints from customers

答案：B

解析：答案B。從全文看，作者向讀者推薦了幾種申訴偽劣商品的辦法，可見(jiàn)作者是站在顧客的立場(chǎng)上的。而A、D兩項(xiàng)是站在賣(mài)方的立場(chǎng);C項(xiàng)在文章中未提到，所以它們都不是正確答案。B項(xiàng)“如何有效地申訴有質(zhì)量問(wèn)題的商品”與原文意思相符是此題答案。

Fried foods have long been frowned upon. Nevertheless, the skillet(煎鍋)is about our handiest and most useful piece of kitchen equipment. Stalwart lumber jacks and others engaged in active labor requiring 4,000 calories per day or more will take approximately one third of their rations prepared in this fashion. Meat, eggs, and French toast cooked in this way are served in millions of homes daily. Apparently the consumers are not beset with more signs of indigestion than afflict those who insist upon broiling, roasting, or boiling. Some years ago one of our most eminent physiologists investigated the digestibility of fried potatoes. He found that the pan variety was more easily broken down for assimilation than when deep fat was employed. The latter, however, dissolved within alimentary tract more readily than the boiled type. Furthermore, he learned, by watching the progress of the contents of the stomach by means of the fluoroscope(透視鏡), that fat actually accelerated the rate of digestion. Now all this is quite in contrast with "authority". Volumes have been written on nutrition, and everywhere the dictum(格言)has been accepted no fried edibles of any sort for children. A few will go so far as to forbid this style of cooking wholly. Now and then an expert will be bold enough to admit that he uses them himself, the absence of discomfort being explained on the ground that he possesses a powerful gastric apparatus. We can of course sizzle perfectly good articles to death so that they will be leathery and tough. But thorough heating, in the presence of shortening, is not the awful crime that it has been labeled. Such dishes stimulate rather than retard contractions of the gall bladder. Thus it is that bile mixes with the nutriment shortly after it leaves the stomach.

We don't need to allow our foodstuffs to become oil soaked, but other than that, there seems to be no basis for the widely heralded prohibition against this method. But notions become fixed. The first condemnation probably arose because an "oracle" suffered from dyspepsia which he ascribed to some fried item on the menu. The theory spread. Others agreed with him, and after a time the doctrine became incorporated in our textbooks. The belief is now tradition rather than proved fact. It should have been refuted long since, as experience has demonstrated its falsity.

16.This passage focuses on _______.

A. why the skillet is a handy piece of kitchen equipment

B. the digestibility of fried foods

C. how the experts can mislead the public in the area of food Preparation

D. why fried food have long been frowned upon

答案：B

解析：答案B。本文講述的是煎炸食物的可消化性，故B項(xiàng)是正確的。

17.Apparently much fried food is eaten because ______.

A. it is easily prepared

B. people engaged in active labor need the calories that fat supplies

C. it is healthful

D. it is easily digested

答案：A

解析：答案A。根據(jù)文章第二句中的關(guān)健詞handiest作“最容易的”解，故A項(xiàng)是正確的。B項(xiàng)只是人們吃煎炸食物的一個(gè)現(xiàn)象，而不是原因。故B項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。

18.The author strongly implies that the public should ________.

A. avoid fried foods if possible

B. prepare some foods by frying

C. fry foods intended for adults but not for children

D. prepare all foods by frying

答案：B

解析：答案B。根據(jù)全文，作者認(rèn)為煎炸食物是能夠很多地被消化，而且油能加快消化，只是油不能過(guò)多食用。故B項(xiàng)是正確的。

19.When the author says that an "oracle suffered from dyspepsia which he ascribed to some fried itemon the menu" he is being______.

A. bitter

B. sarcastic

C. inventive

D. humorous

答案：B

解析：答案B。根據(jù)文章，作者肯定了自己的觀點(diǎn)，選用oracle, authority等詞，以諷刺的口吻批判了一些傳統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)，故選擇B項(xiàng)。

20.The selection was probably taken from _______.

A. a medical journey

B. a publication addressed to the general public

C. a speech at medical convention

D. an advertisement for cooking oil

答案：B

解析：答案B。文章中有科技術(shù)語(yǔ)，但醫(yī)學(xué)專(zhuān)業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)并不是很多，并能為廣大讀者所接受，如shillet, sizzle等等，所以排除A項(xiàng)、C項(xiàng)，全文也不是食油廣告，所以D項(xiàng)也是錯(cuò)誤的。

In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum(鋁)cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it would be buried in landfills(垃圾填埋場(chǎng)). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.

Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.

As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life-and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways, actually depress prices for used materials.

Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to saving of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.

21.What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?

A. Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.

B. Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.

C. A fee should be charge on used containers for recycling.

D. Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.

答案：D

解析：答案D。文章開(kāi)頭指出，紐約政府下令飲料瓶要收押金。這句話其實(shí)可引申出兩層意思：一方面，消費(fèi)者需要為飲料瓶付款;另一方面，當(dāng)他們送回飲料瓶時(shí)，他們可收回為飲料瓶所付的錢(qián)。D項(xiàng)表達(dá)了這兩層意思，A、C兩項(xiàng)文章未提到。B項(xiàng)不合題意。因此D項(xiàng)為正確答案。

22.The returned plastic bottles in New York used to _______.

A. end up somewhere underground

B. be turned into raw materials

C. have a second-life value

D. be separated from other rubbish

答案：A

解析：答案A。第一段指出，much of it would be buried in landfills，也就是說(shuō)，許多塑料瓶被埋在垃圾填埋場(chǎng)，故A項(xiàng)正確。B項(xiàng)說(shuō)“變成原材料”，第一段提到許多公司打算接受鋁罐和玻璃瓶作為新產(chǎn)品的原材料，但不包括塑料，故B項(xiàng)不對(duì)。第一段最后一句指出二手塑料用途少，因此C項(xiàng)也不對(duì)。D項(xiàng)文章未提到。因此A項(xiàng)為正確答案。

23.The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is ________.

A. to sell them at a profitable price

B. how to turn them into useful things

C. how to reduce their recycling costs

D. to lower the prices for used materials

答案：B

解析：答案B。第三段第二句指出，廢品將仍是廢品，直到有人能夠確定如何給它第二次生命，直到在第二次生命價(jià)值中考慮到經(jīng)濟(jì)安排?？梢?jiàn)處理回收的塑料飲料瓶的關(guān)鍵在于找到它們重新利用的價(jià)值及方法。因此B項(xiàng)為正確答案。

24.Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because ________.

A. local government find it easy to manage

B. recycling has great appeal for the jobless

C. recycling causes little pollution

D. other methods are more expensive

答案：D

解析：答案D。第四段第一句指出，填埋場(chǎng)地越來(lái)越少，填埋和燒毀垃圾的費(fèi)用也在增加，因此政府看重回收。可見(jiàn)在處理垃圾時(shí)，政府首先想到回收是因?yàn)槠渌绞胶馁Y太大。而且the East Coast這一例子也直接點(diǎn)明了回收利用是最便宜的垃圾處理方案。因此D項(xiàng)為正確答案。

25.It can be concluded from the passage that _______.

A. rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials

B. local governments in the U. S. can expect big profits from recycling

C. recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally

D. landfills will still be widely used for waste disposal

答案：C

解析：答案C。在最后一段中，作者從兩方面論述了回收垃圾的好處，一是節(jié)約費(fèi)用，二是有利于控制污染，保護(hù)環(huán)境。C項(xiàng)準(zhǔn)確地表達(dá)了這兩層含義。A、B兩項(xiàng)文章未提到。D項(xiàng)說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤，因?yàn)檎谔幚砝鴷r(shí)首先想到的是回收利用，可見(jiàn)是回收而不是垃圾墳埋場(chǎng)將得到廣泛應(yīng)用。

If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜)packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.

No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability(耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.

When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusion to be drawn are obvious.Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.

26.Designers and big stores always make money______.

A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry

B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions

C. by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing

D. because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing

答案：C

解析：答案C。首段第二句說(shuō)：因?yàn)閶D女一想到穿著過(guò)時(shí)服裝在公眾場(chǎng)合下露面就渾身發(fā)抖，于是總是被時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)師和大商場(chǎng)捉弄。本句的暗含意義是，婦女不愿穿過(guò)時(shí)服裝，設(shè)計(jì)師和大商場(chǎng)也就利用她們的這一心理特點(diǎn)經(jīng)常改換時(shí)裝款式來(lái)賺大錢(qián)。C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與此相符。

27.To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _______.

A. a waste of money

B. a waste of time

C. an expression of taste

D. an expression of creativity

答案：B

解析：答案B。第二段第三句明確指出：Women…waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have.

28. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _______ of clothing.

A. cost

B. appearance

C. comfort

D. suitability

答案：C

解析：答案C。第三段第二句批評(píng)設(shè)計(jì)師們很少關(guān)心保暖、舒適和耐用這些極為重要的事情。依此逆推，如果服裝師多注意一點(diǎn)“舒適”，作者自然會(huì)批評(píng)得少些，至少不會(huì)用第三段中的實(shí)例進(jìn)行批評(píng)。

29. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.

B. The constant changes in women‘s clothing reflect their strength of character

C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.

D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.

答案：A

解析：答案A。在解答第三十六題時(shí)我們已得出結(jié)論：設(shè)計(jì)師和大商場(chǎng)利用婦女不愿穿過(guò)時(shí)的衣服而賺錢(qián)，這就意味著服裝新的時(shí)髦式設(shè)計(jì)出來(lái)是為了賺錢(qián)。

30. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious"(S1, Para. 4), the writer means that _______.

A. women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughted at

B. women are better able to put up with discomfort

C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers

D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

答案：D

解析：答案D。解答本題首先要知道將男女作了比較后得出了什么結(jié)論。這結(jié)論就是Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers.結(jié)論的實(shí)質(zhì)就是D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容。

三、詞匯和語(yǔ)法(31-50)

31.Please keep an eye on my luggage, and I'll be back _____.

A.in time

B.in no time

C.at one time

D.at a time

答案：B. 本題考查介詞短語(yǔ)辨析。in no time“立刻，馬上”，可以和過(guò)去時(shí)、將來(lái)時(shí)搭配：in time“及時(shí)”;at one time“曾經(jīng)”，用在過(guò)去時(shí)中;at a time“一次”，表頻率。

32.Lying in hospital, the patient _____ the outside world by watching news programs on TV every day.

A.kept in touch with

B.faced up

C.turned the clock back

D.slowed down

答案：A.本題考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。keep in touch with“與……保持聯(lián)系”：face up往往和to搭配，表示“勇敢面對(duì)”;turn the clock back“把時(shí)間調(diào)回…”;slow down“慢下來(lái)”。

33.We felt very sad when we heard the news that the _____ manager was killed in his office yesterday.

A. respectful

B. respectable

C. respective

D. respecting

答案：B.本題考查同根詞辨析。四個(gè)詞的詞根都是respeet，但各有各的含義。respectable“可敬的，值得別人尊敬或尊重的”;respectful“尊重別人的;表示敬意的”;respective“分別的，各自的”;respecting(prep.)，“關(guān)系，說(shuō)到”。根據(jù)句意，應(yīng)選respectable.

34. _____ the fog, we should have reached our destination.

A.Because of

B.In spite of

C.In case of

36._____ as it was at such a time, his work attracted much attention.

A.Being published

B.Published

C.Publishing

D.To be published

答案：B

【譯文】雖然他的著作是在這樣一種時(shí)候出版的，但還是引起了關(guān)注。

【注釋】由as引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句常采用下列倒裝形式：(1)表語(yǔ)(形容詞、分詞或名詞)+as+連系動(dòng)詞;(2)狀語(yǔ)(副詞)+as+主語(yǔ)+行為動(dòng)詞;(3)行為動(dòng)詞(或行為動(dòng)詞+賓語(yǔ))+as+主語(yǔ)+助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。句中publish的對(duì)象是從句主語(yǔ)，所以需用過(guò)去分詞與was構(gòu)成被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，故B)正確。本題干擾項(xiàng)是A)Being published.現(xiàn)在分詞的被動(dòng)形式表示該動(dòng)作現(xiàn)在正在進(jìn)行或與謂語(yǔ)表示的動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生，故選A)則不合句意。

46. This is what you should bear in mind: Don't _____ a salary increase before you actually get it.

A. hang on

B. draw on

C. wait on

D. count on

答案：D

[譯文] 這是你應(yīng)該記住的：在得到漲工資以前不要指望它。

[解析] 本題考察四個(gè)帶有on的動(dòng)詞詞組。Hang on意思較多，有“糾纏，緊緊握住某物;堅(jiān)持不放棄;堅(jiān)持不懈;打電話時(shí)不掛斷;稍待等待一會(huì)兒時(shí)間”;draw on穿上，戴上(靴子， 手套等);吸收，利用;憑，靠;動(dòng)用;向……支取;逗引(某人)開(kāi)口說(shuō)話;招來(lái)，招致;接近，靠近;wait on滿(mǎn)足……的需要;服侍;count on表示“依賴(lài)，依靠”，符合上下文。

47. The ship's generator broke down, and the pumps had to be operated _____ instead of mechanically.

B. automatically

C. manually

D. synthetically

答案：C

[譯文] 船的發(fā)電機(jī)壞了，所以需要手動(dòng)操作水泵而不能機(jī)械操作。

[解析] 這也更加要求我們要“溫故而知新”。因?yàn)閕nstead of后面是mechanically(機(jī)械地)，所以我們只要找到它的反義詞就行了，答案C)manually手動(dòng)符合題義。

48. The little girl was so frightened that she just wouldn't _____ her grip on my arm.

A. loosen

B. remove

C. relieve

D. dismiss

答案：A

[譯文] 這個(gè)小女孩非常害怕，她一直抓著我的胳膊不放。

[解析] 本題有兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)容易混淆：A)loosen 和C)relieve.Relieve的意思是“減緩導(dǎo)致…的減輕或緩和;免于痛苦，脫離痛苦，焦慮或者苦惱;救濟(jì)，為……提供幫助或援助”，不能和grip搭配;而loosen one's grip表示“放開(kāi)手”。

49. He never arrives on time and my _____ is that he feels the meetings are useless.

A. preference

B. conference

C. inference

D. reference

答案：C

[譯文] 他從沒(méi)有準(zhǔn)時(shí)到會(huì)，所以我的判斷是他認(rèn)為會(huì)議沒(méi)有用。

[解析] 本題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都有"ence"的后綴把一個(gè)動(dòng)詞變?yōu)槊~，所以我們只要背了它們的動(dòng)詞詞根的意思，這四個(gè)詞的意思就容易找出來(lái)了。Preference表示“喜歡，喜好”;conference的意思是“會(huì)議，大會(huì)”;reference表示“參考，指出”;而inference表示“推斷，推論”，符合題義。

50. Mrs. Smith was so _____ about everything that no servants could please her.

A. specific

B. special

C. precise

D. particular

答案：D

[譯文] Smith夫人對(duì)于所有事情都很挑剔，所以沒(méi)有一個(gè)仆人能讓她高興。

[解析] Be particular about sth.表示“對(duì)……挑剔，吹毛求疵”。因?yàn)榇缶V中雖然列出了4200個(gè)詞，但在考試中能考的就1800個(gè)左右，而這些詞在前一些年出現(xiàn)的考點(diǎn)大部分都有所體現(xiàn)，只是這次把這四個(gè)詞放在一起來(lái)考察我們，而下次把另外的四個(gè)詞放在一起。

四、翻譯(51)

51.In many Western countries，a considerable number of parents have removed their children from school and are teaching them at home.Such children do all their normal lessons at home，often under the guidance of a parent.The first thing to consider is whether this is legal or not.In most countries it is，SO long as parents can prove that their children are receiving an adequate education，equal to that provided by their state educational system.the next consideration is whether the parents have the time，self-discipline，intelligence and patience to teach their own child week after week，day in and day out，for hours on end.Then there is the problem of wh Nat will be taught，and how.

2.請(qǐng)舉例說(shuō)明你的觀點(diǎn)。

答案：【高分作文】

Finding a Job in a Big City or a Small Town?

I think college graduates should not just concern themselves with getting a job with a big company in a big city.They can also establish themselves in small towns or in underdeveloped places.

The unemployment rate of Chinese college graduates has soared in recent years, which can partly be attributed to their unrealistic expectations. Many want a job with a famous company but turn a cold shoulder to jobs in rural areas or small towns, thinking working there is a waste of their talent.

Is it true that a person cannot achieve much unless working in a big city or big company?

The story of my friend Xiao Wu gives that question a negative answer.

Xiao Wu was a former investment manager with a well-known company and had a PhD in finance. He resigned from his post and took over his mother's pig farm in his hometown.

He has made a fortune through his flourishing pig farm business. He had the courage to abandon his established career because he saw the potential in rural areas brought about by new policies in recent years to accelerate the development of agriculture and the rural economy, and to increase the income of farmers.

His success is a result of his down-to-earth manner and his boldness.

Indeed, big companies and big cities can provide fresh graduates with a better chance for promotion and a wider field of vision. But college graduates can also learn some practical skills if they begin their career in grassroots companies or institutions.

Successful people are those who are courageous enough to break down outdated ideology. People can make their careers in the countryside as well as in big cities.
