傳統上，獲得大學學位已成為一個值得慶祝的的理由。最重要的是，成就標志著成年期發病和提供的職業會在短短幾個月開始的承諾，如果不周。但在今天的就業市場，大學畢業生離開學校只配備一個程度可能沒那麼幸運。2000，1200000多人獲得學士學位，在美國。今年，這個數字預計將上升百分之30至1600000以上，根據國家教育統計中心估計。這個上漲已經遠遠超過了在過去的十年中人口國增加三倍，人口普查局預計的人口增長率在同一時期。」隨著學生人數的增加，如果我是僱主或醫學院或商學院的學生，找到一個好的GPA不是特別困難了，」丹說戈麥斯帕拉西奧，職業服務的助理導演威斯特敏斯特學院在密蘇里。」那麼，什麼是要分開你從你的同行？」

答案：實習。大學官員和僱主普遍認為，參加實習或幾個，使學生除了他或她的同齡人更在畢業前找到有意義的工作是不可或缺的在今天的就業市場看似堅不可摧。比以往任何時候，全國的學校都將向所有專業實習的學生，有幾個甚至還說他們的畢業要求。」這些實習機會給這些學生的優勢，不然他們不會做，說：」帕特麗夏Cormier，總裁烏鎮大學在弗吉尼亞，這需要所有畢業生實習。」它總是讓我吃驚，高等教育沒有早點想到這個。對我來說這是一個沒有腦子。如果你要定位你的好學生，你得給他們暴露在他們畢業之前。」

烏鎮，與大約4800個招生，有百分之74的2008屆畢業班畢業後六個月內實現工作，盡管事實上，學生被推到了一個最糟糕的就業市場上的記錄。兩年前，官員東康涅狄格州立大學決定學生的學前教育專業經驗要求所。羅娜自由，在東康涅狄格學術事務的副總裁，說學校不僅要教育學生，但他們准備他們的工作生活學校通過經驗為基礎的學習之後。」【學生】擔心，「如果我是英語專業的，我能得到一份工作？」她說。」我們想讓他們知道，他們離開這里之前，他們就已經在一個設置，就像他們去工作。」

而規模較小的學校可以確保學生可以通過形成與本地公司和工作進行一對一的學生進行實習狩獵夥伴滿足實習要求，任務更加艱巨的規模較大的學校。找到附近的一個大的大學，可以支持數千名實習生湧入僱主基地是一項艱巨的任務，即使不是不可能。因為這個原因，許多學校都羞於要求實習還煞費苦心地傳授給學生的工作經驗的重要性。另外，在較大的機構的一些程序需要實習。這是在領域的工作經驗是招聘過程中不可或缺的一個普遍的做法，如商業和新聞通訊。

文理學院在維拉諾瓦大學在賓夕法尼亞不需要實習，但學生們把每周的榜單實習空缺和不斷提醒自己的重要性。學院的網站甚至宣稱：「實習。..不要離開維拉諾瓦沒有！」這種營銷的努力得到了回報。學校已上升了百分之30，在招生中實習，在過去的三年裡。這樣的努力是被大型僱主，僱傭大量的實習生。會計巨頭普華永道，例如，吸引超過從實習的新員工，百分之70。」學校專注於容納實習的課程定位學生未來的就業很好的一部分，說：」冬青保羅，國家領導人在普華永道招聘。
最近的畢業生已經聽過這樣的建議獲得了回報。瑞安莫斯曼，畢業於波士頓學院在2009五月英語學位，說雖然BC沒有要求他參加實習，學校經常吹噓他們的重要性。一個消極的求職導致他的畢業後的一個月，莫斯曼決定實習是最好的，如果不是唯一的方式，他開始他的職業生涯。而不是漫無目的地尋找工作機會他聲稱他的許多同行都畢業後，他在LVM集團作為一個實習，一個公共關系公司，大學畢業後不久。實習最終LED到一個全職工作作為一個與公司客戶經理助理。同時，他說他的許多朋友坐在家裡與他們的學位，等待工作落在他們的圈。」如果我沒有了畢業後的實習，我想我會在同一位置的他們，」他說。

我用過一個，叫EYEQ快速閱讀系統，是訓練快速閱讀能力的，在提高閱讀速度同時也能提高閱讀水內平，我容把我的學習心得與你分享一下：
1、以前閱讀時沒有發現原來以前看東西的習慣是直視，眼睛靈活度不太好，但那個的訓練課程之一就是訓練眼部肌肉的靈活度，練完以後我馬上就意識到眼睛原來可以那麼靈活。
2、以前看書的時候習慣是默讀或心讀，而這個就要求腦讀，就是直接跳過心讀，從眼讀直接到腦讀，我覺得要練成的話，對閱讀能力將是一個很大的提高，我正在練，練成再說。
3、裡面有很多文章素材，其實我不是很喜歡讀書，所以知識面很窄，用這個提高閱讀速度的同時能看到很多文章，有講人物傳記的，例如卡耐基的，還有一些勵志的文章，用完後覺得還是覺得蠻有收獲的。
4、上面的是一些大的體會，還有一些小體會就是剛開始的阿爾法腦波很好聽，還有就是界面很舒服。

一些美味的食物總是長在花園里，學生們正在學習不同的知識，如蘆筍，豆子和胡蘿卜！他們種植水果，蔬菜和花。老師和同學們在這個課程里一起勞作。家長和當地的農民支持這這個課程。
在花園里，學生們照顧著土壤和植物。他們收獲農作物。學生們可以在花園里直接探索和嘗試新的食物。他們直接學習到新鮮的食物對身體有好處。班級廚房也是這個課程的一部分。在廚房裡，學生們准備和吃著他們自己種植的健康菜餚。
學校的老師們也會利用這個花園和廚房活動來擴展其他課程領域的學習。例如，學生們可以學習植物的信息和生物與環境的關系。
花園和這個課程都在成長，這個課程的宣傳也很成功。全國其他的學校也開始了他們自己「可以吃的操場「。

EVERYTHING has two sides. One side of SARS is already clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2,601 cases (病例) recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government report. 115 people have died and numbers keep rising.
凡事都有兩面性. 非典型肺炎的一面很明顯. 它是一種讓人談之色變的致命疾病. 根據政府的報告, 在4月24日中國大陸有2601個病例被記錄在案, 死亡115人, 死亡人數還在繼續上升.
But, there is another side. SARS is a reminder (提醒) of how fragile(脆弱) life can be. Suddenly, it』s not just the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.
但是, 非典也有它的另一面.
Wang Xinying, a student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province came into contact (接觸) with a suspected (疑似) SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. 「Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close. Life is valuable (珍貴的) and I』m going to treasure (珍惜) every single day,」 he said.
王新穎是山西省太原市的一名學生, 4月中旬他與一名非典疑似患者有過接觸並被告知至少要在家觀察兩個星期. 「看到電視里越來越多的非典病人死亡, 我從來都不知道原來死亡離我們這么近. 生命如此寶貴, 我要珍惜每一天的時光.」他說.
SARS teaches people to be grateful, both for their own lives and for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected (被感染的) patients. As a result, more than one fifth of SARS cases in China are medical workers.
非典教會人們要學會感恩, 為了自己也為了他人的生命. 例如, 醫生和護士得整日里和被感染的患者待在一起. 結果在中國超過五分之一的非典病例都是醫護人員.
Xu Bing, a student of Beijing No. 5 Middle School wants to be a doctor in the future. 「Although they certainly know the dangers, doctors and nurses kept working hard on saving people』s lives. I』m deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes.」 he said.
徐冰是北京五中的一名學生, 他立志將來要當一名醫生. 「雖然他們明知有危險, 但是醫生和護士還是一直努力工作, 挽救人們的生命.
SARS also teaches sympathy (同情). The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and robberies(掠奪). Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9.11
非典也教會了我們學會同情. 對中國人民來說過去的幾個星期是場噩夢. 但是世界上還有比非典更糟糕的東西, 比如戰爭, 地震和掠奪. 想想那些伊拉克人民, 20年來一直過著悲慘的生活. 再想想911事件中美國人的感受.
And finally, SARS offers the chances to grow. All different kinds of people and the governments are joining together to work in this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people will have learned great lessons.
最後要說的是非典給我們機會成長. 各國政府和人民在這個困難的時期團結一心, 中國和中國人民將已受到很大的教訓.
