阅读下面短文并答复下列问题, 然后将答案写到相的位置上。(请注意问题后的词数要求)

[1]Many students start working during holidays to add extra money

to their pockets. It also puts students in an environment where they learn new things. That is a way different from school activities and

educational atmosphere. Landing a holiday job becomes easy when students

realize the jobs that they are interested in. Now let’s see how to land

a holiday job.

[2]Holiday hiring usually begins during the fall season. Therefore,

you should keep your resume(简历)ready with all necessary details in it,

write more on your educational background and career goals. Mention your

previous job experiences if you have worked in holidays. Express your

hobbies, interests, and skills in your resume. An excellent resume

provides greater chances of employment.

[3]You should start looking for jobs at least a month before your

holidays begin. Now if you are a fresher, then you must be wondering where

to look for a holiday job and how to get a holiday job. Do not limit

yourself to only one field. Register yourself in job websites and post

your resume in their sites. You will find a large number of holiday jobs for students that will match your interest. Newspapers and magazines also

have thousands of job advertisements for students.

[4]I repeat once again that you do limit yourself to a single field,

because it will limit your opportunity of landing a proper holiday job.

Mail your resume to the expected companies or you can directly walk into

their offices. Once you are chosen, they will ask you to join on a specific

date. If you complete these processes before your vacation begins, then

you can join in your vacation. In short, an early start is needed.

[5]Once you have started working, you will soon experience the

satisfaction of earning money. Last but not least, remember to discuss

with your parents before making any decision.

阅读下面短文, 并按照题目要求用英语答复下列问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

Butterfly’s Wings

One day a small opening appeared on a cocoon(茧子). A man sat and

watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its

body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress.

It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no

further. So the man decided to help the butterfly; he took a pair of

scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.

The butterfly then emerged easily.

But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled(皱缩的)wings. The man

continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment,

the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which

would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled

wings. It was never able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste

did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle

required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s

way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so

that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the

cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God

allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would

cripple(使跛)us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.

I asked for strength,

And God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom,

And God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for courage,

And God gave me danger to overcome.

I asked for love,

And God gave me troubled people to help.

I received nothing I wanted,

I received everything I needed.
