传统上，获得大学学位已成为一个值得庆祝的的理由。最重要的是，成就标志着成年期发病和提供的职业会在短短几个月开始的承诺，如果不周。但在今天的就业市场，大学毕业生离开学校只配备一个程度可能没那么幸运。2000，1200000多人获得学士学位，在美国。今年，这个数字预计将上升百分之30至1600000以上，根据国家教育统计中心估计。这个上涨已经远远超过了在过去的十年中人口国增加三倍，人口普查局预计的人口增长率在同一时期。”随着学生人数的增加，如果我是雇主或医学院或商学院的学生，找到一个好的GPA不是特别困难了，”丹说戈麦斯帕拉西奥，职业服务的助理导演威斯特敏斯特学院在密苏里。”那么，什么是要分开你从你的同行？”

答案：实习。大学官员和雇主普遍认为，参加实习或几个，使学生除了他或她的同龄人更在毕业前找到有意义的工作是不可或缺的在今天的就业市场看似坚不可摧。比以往任何时候，全国的学校都将向所有专业实习的学生，有几个甚至还说他们的毕业要求。”这些实习机会给这些学生的优势，不然他们不会做，说：”帕特丽夏Cormier，总裁乌镇大学在弗吉尼亚，这需要所有毕业生实习。”它总是让我吃惊，高等教育没有早点想到这个。对我来说这是一个没有脑子。如果你要定位你的好学生，你得给他们暴露在他们毕业之前。”

乌镇，与大约4800个招生，有百分之74的2008届毕业班毕业后六个月内实现工作，尽管事实上，学生被推到了一个最糟糕的就业市场上的记录。两年前，官员东康涅狄格州立大学决定学生的学前教育专业经验要求所。罗娜自由，在东康涅狄格学术事务的副总裁，说学校不仅要教育学生，但他们准备他们的工作生活学校通过经验为基础的学习之后。”【学生】担心，“如果我是英语专业的，我能得到一份工作？”她说。”我们想让他们知道，他们离开这里之前，他们就已经在一个设置，就像他们去工作。”

而规模较小的学校可以确保学生可以通过形成与本地公司和工作进行一对一的学生进行实习狩猎伙伴满足实习要求，任务更加艰巨的规模较大的学校。找到附近的一个大的大学，可以支持数千名实习生涌入雇主基地是一项艰巨的任务，即使不是不可能。因为这个原因，许多学校都羞于要求实习还煞费苦心地传授给学生的工作经验的重要性。另外，在较大的机构的一些程序需要实习。这是在领域的工作经验是招聘过程中不可或缺的一个普遍的做法，如商业和新闻通讯。

文理学院在维拉诺瓦大学在宾夕法尼亚不需要实习，但学生们把每周的榜单实习空缺和不断提醒自己的重要性。学院的网站甚至宣称：“实习。..不要离开维拉诺瓦没有！”这种营销的努力得到了回报。学校已上升了百分之30，在招生中实习，在过去的三年里。这样的努力是被大型雇主，雇佣大量的实习生。会计巨头普华永道，例如，吸引超过从实习的新员工，百分之70。”学校专注于容纳实习的课程定位学生未来的就业很好的一部分，说：”冬青保罗，国家领导人在普华永道招聘。
最近的毕业生已经听过这样的建议获得了回报。瑞安莫斯曼，毕业于波士顿学院在2009五月英语学位，说虽然BC没有要求他参加实习，学校经常吹嘘他们的重要性。一个消极的求职导致他的毕业后的一个月，莫斯曼决定实习是最好的，如果不是唯一的方式，他开始他的职业生涯。而不是漫无目的地寻找工作机会他声称他的许多同行都毕业后，他在LVM集团作为一个实习，一个公共关系公司，大学毕业后不久。实习最终LED到一个全职工作作为一个与公司客户经理助理。同时，他说他的许多朋友坐在家里与他们的学位，等待工作落在他们的圈。”如果我没有了毕业后的实习，我想我会在同一位置的他们，”他说。

我用过一个，叫EYEQ快速阅读系统，是训练快速阅读能力的，在提高阅读速度同时也能提高阅读水内平，我容把我的学习心得与你分享一下：
1、以前阅读时没有发现原来以前看东西的习惯是直视，眼睛灵活度不太好，但那个的训练课程之一就是训练眼部肌肉的灵活度，练完以后我马上就意识到眼睛原来可以那么灵活。
2、以前看书的时候习惯是默读或心读，而这个就要求脑读，就是直接跳过心读，从眼读直接到脑读，我觉得要练成的话，对阅读能力将是一个很大的提高，我正在练，练成再说。
3、里面有很多文章素材，其实我不是很喜欢读书，所以知识面很窄，用这个提高阅读速度的同时能看到很多文章，有讲人物传记的，例如卡耐基的，还有一些励志的文章，用完后觉得还是觉得蛮有收获的。
4、上面的是一些大的体会，还有一些小体会就是刚开始的阿尔法脑波很好听，还有就是界面很舒服。

在花园里，学生们照顾着土壤和植物。他们收获农作物。学生们可以在花园里直接探索和尝试新的食物。他们直接学习到新鲜的食物对身体有好处。班级厨房也是这个课程的一部分。在厨房里，学生们准备和吃着他们自己种植的健康菜肴。
学校的老师们也会利用这个花园和厨房活动来扩展其他课程领域的学习。例如，学生们可以学习植物的信息和生物与环境的关系。

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.
凡事都有两面性. 非典型肺炎的一面很明显. 它是一种让人谈之色变的致命疾病. 根据政府的报告, 在4月24日中国大陆有2601个病例被记录在案, 死亡115人, 死亡人数还在继续上升.
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 (接触) 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 (珍贵的) and I’m going to treasure (珍惜) every single day,” he said.
王新颖是山西省太原市的一名学生, 4月中旬他与一名非典疑似患者有过接触并被告知至少要在家观察两个星期. “看到电视里越来越多的非典病人死亡, 我从来都不知道原来死亡离我们这么近. 生命如此宝贵, 我要珍惜每一天的时光.”他说.
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.
非典教会人们要学会感恩, 为了自己也为了他人的生命. 例如, 医生和护士得整日里和被感染的患者待在一起. 结果在中国超过五分之一的非典病例都是医护人员.
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学生, 他立志将来要当一名医生. “虽然他们明知有危险, 但是医生和护士还是一直努力工作, 挽救人们的生命.
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(掠夺). Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9.11
非典也教会了我们学会同情. 对中国人民来说过去的几个星期是场噩梦. 但是世界上还有比非典更糟糕的东西, 比如战争, 地震和掠夺. 想想那些伊拉克人民, 20年来一直过着悲惨的生活. 再想想911事件中美国人的感受.
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.
最后要说的是非典给我们机会成长. 各国政府和人民在这个困难的时期团结一心, 中国和中国人民将已受到很大的教训.

1.文中李平的故事主要告诉我们:
A 告诉生命的艰苦 B 告诉生命的脆弱 C告诉我们生命的残酷 D告诉我们生命的快乐
