13 Jobs and careers

Unit 2 Jobs and CareersPassage A Your Dream Job: A Click AwayLess than a month from graduation day, Theresa Smith of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, had yet to find the right job. The career placement center referred the liberal-arts major to JOB-TRAK, an Internet site listing 45,000 entry-level positions.Smith selected four keywords: Chicago, business, marketing and full-time. Immediately she found 45 jobs meeting her criteria, including one as an assistant to an administrator at the University of Chicago's business school. Four weeks later she was hired at a starting salary of $32,000."I had no training," says Smith, "but the Internet was extremely easy to use. I'd never have known about this job without it."Smith is one American who clicked her way into a job. Steven Tools is another.In 1996, the Rockville, Md., resident came across an employment site named CareerBuilder. He had just been promoted to director of marketing for a company that produces tradeshow exhibits and wasn't looking for a job. But curious, he decided to "give it a try."Tools filled out a profile with the keywords marketing manager and entered his electronic-mail address. Within a week his computer's mailbox was filling up with available positions. Two interviews later he jumped to a new job. "The Internet is like hiring a personal assistant," says Tools. "Effortlessly you can become aware of opportunities that may elevate your career."Even a couple of years ago, most job listings on the Internet were in high-tech fields. Today, non-technical jobs - salesclerks, bank tellers, secretaries, for example - are the fastest growing segment of Internet employment opportunities. Most major newspapers and trade publications have online versions of their classified listings, enabling job-seekers to scan for work available across town, in another state, or around the world.Madeline Gragg and Nedzad Dozlic are still another two who clicked their luck online.In 1996, Madeline Gragg, a 28-year-old high school teacher from St. Louis, wanted a change. When a friend mentioned teaching English in Japan, Gragg was intrigued.She visited the popular Yahoo! website and typed teaching English in Japan for a list of employment opportunities. She then followed the procedure for the online application. A week later she received a call and set up an interview with a recruiterin Chicago and got the job.Nedzad Dozlic, 27 years old, was scanning the Houston Chronicle's Web site for the latest baseball trades. While online, he decided to check out the classifieds and spotted a job for a driver at a local car dealership. A refugee of the war in Bosnia, Dozlic had had a variety of jobs but was now ready for something new. He read more about the position on the dealer's Internet site and called the number listed. Two days later he was hired. "It's really funny," he says, "I was just checking sports, and I ended up with a better job."Another valuable use of the Internet is to research potential employers. When Wendy Mello started her job search in the summer of 1997, she logged on to CareerBuilder, where she learned of a human resources opening at Arbitron's, a media-information-services company in Columbia, Maryland. With a click of her mouse, Mello sent her résumé to the company via e-mail and soon received an invitation for an interview.To find out more about the company, she clicked on to Artitron's home page and that of its parent company, Ceridian Corp., where she reviewed an annual report and the company's financial performance.Mello also wanted to know how much she'd have to earn to maintain her present standard of living. Using an online salary calculator, she typed in her current salary, $34,000, and Baltimore (the nearest big city to Columbia). Within seconds her computer flashed $44,000. "Because of the salary calculator, I knew what to ask for," says Mello.By accessing an online real estate service, she saw color photos of rental properties, including detailed floor plans. When Mello arrived in Columbia, she felt completely prepared. The interview was a success, and the next day she was offered a job at a salary of $47,800."The Internet is easy to use and it works," says one job seeker, "What more could you want?"PA 鼠标轻点，美梦成真还有不到一个月就要毕业了，特里萨·史密斯还没找到合适的工作，她就读于位于伊利诺州埃文斯顿的西北大学。

In its annual survey of U.S. college students, the research firm Universum USA asked its more than 60 000 respondents to identify the characteristics they associate with dream employers, and broke down the results into seven personality types: careerists, entrepreneurs, explorers, harmonizers, hunters, idealists and leaders.Google continued to rank as the big favorite, taking the No. 1 spot in five of the personality types and taking a top three spot in all seven. Apple was in the top three with six of the personality types, and Disney was in the top three for five, including idealists, who ranked it No. 1 ahead of Google. Banks, oil companies, and the Big Four accounting firms lost some of their luster among business students, but government and nonprofit employers had a good year among careerists.

Unit 1Each day, many people are looking for trends in workplace clothing, so that they can “fit in”with the fashionable or well-dressed crowd. They believe that dressing in the latest fashion trends may give them the reputation of being fashionable and trendy. While it is more than possible to do this, you need to display caution.许多人每天都在捕捉职场时装的潮流，以便能与那些衣着时尚得体的人们步调一致。

他们认为按最新潮流穿衣打扮能为自己赢得时尚和时髦的好名声。

尽管这样做合情合理，你还是要小心谨慎。

What many people do not realize is that there are a number of pros and cons of relying on workplace fashion trends. One of those pros was mentioned above.

教学有法，教无定法——浅谈初三英语“话题复习”模式的探索与实践文/康艾欣“话题复习”模式在我校已有效开展六年。

六年来，“话题复习”模式不仅为老师增添了一种新的复习授课方式，还培养了学生的综合语言运用能力，提高了英语复习效果。

一、“话题复习”模式提出的背景和依据初三英语复习内容包含“Go for it”初中英语五册教材，共58个单元，复习内容多且杂，加之我校生源一般，传统的灌输式复习导致复习低效化，孤立式复习导致复习碎片化，而题海式复习又导致复习功利化。

针对这种现状下隐藏的复习枯燥低效问题，英语组老师们开始探索一种新的复习思路。

2013年初，在周老师的带领下，经过多次教研、探讨，“话题复习”理念诞生了。

依据义务教育阶段英语课程的总目标和我校初三学情，经过几个月的调查和研究，我们进一步明确了以“话题为主线，任务为主导”的“话题复习”模式在我校实施的可行性。

英语课程的总目标是通过英语学习使学生形成初步的综合语言运用能力，促进心智发展，提高综合人文素养。

而我们尝试的“话题复习”就是要整合教材单元内容，找到单元间的内在联系和单元间共同的主题，按主题把五册教材的内容分类通过一系列听、说、读、写活动来丰富拓展这个主题。

“话题复习”融汇了话题功能、交际功能和语言结构，有利于培养学生的综合语言运用能力，发展学生的合作能力和创新能力，体现英语教学的工具性和人文性。

二、24个话题领域从2014年初，“话题复习”模式开始进入了实质性准备阶段。
