During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn. It was a hot,lowpaying job.
He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying,and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.
He took some time off when soccer got serious,but the following summer he tried working at a lumber yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.
From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.
What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and get a 2year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4year college or joining the army. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn,but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.
25.All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common:_____.
A、They didn’t pay well
B、They were dull and tiresome
C、They needed hard labor
D、They were done during his vacation
26._____was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.
A、Confidence
B、Education
C、Opportunity
D、Wisdom
27.We can learn from the text that_____.
A、Peter knew what to do with his future
B、Peter’s father didn’t care about him
C、It was very hard for Peter to make his choices
D、Peter was determined to do whatever he liked

听力原文:W: Hi Peter! How are you doing these days?
M: Oh, I am trying to shift to another work.(19)And you know it seems very hard to find a job these days because it is a dead season for the employment.
W: That's too bad. Why did you leave your last job?
M: Well, (20)my boss is very critical, and the worst thing is that I can not see any chance of promotion in the company.
W: That makes sense. A job without opportunities and a critical boss isn't very attractive.
M: Exactly! So, anyway. I decided to quit and find a new job. (21)I sent out my resume to more than twenty companies. Unfortunately, I've only had two interviews so far.
W: Have you tried looking for a job online?
M: Yes, but so many of the jobs require moving to another city. I don't want to do that.
W: I can understand that. How about going to some of those networking groups?
M: I haven't tried those. What are they?
W: (22)They're groups of people who are also looking for work. They help each other discover new opportunities
M: That sounds great! I'll definitely try some of those.
W: I'm glad to hear that. So, what are you doing here?
M: Oh, I'm shopping for a new suit. I want to make the best impression possible at my job interviews!
W: There you go. That's the spirit. I'm sure things will look up for you soon.

Nowadays it's my job to know what's happening in the market so every day at work I have financial reports to read. I only get the chance to look at other things - for example business magazines - when I travel abroad.
We invest customers' money in many areas of the market. Traditionally we've invested in property and in manufacturing. However, an industry that is doing very well at the moment is high-tech companies so we plan to increase investment in that area.
Some of our competitors concentrate on achieving a friendly service. This is important but I think that, on the whole, our customers prefer lower charges which is what we guarantee.
Although we encourage our staff to achieve a maximum return on investments, we have strict procedures to make sure that risks are avoided where possible. Some companies may put profits first but it's important that our customers see us as a safe investment.
Next month The Thorpe Group will merge with Chart well Associates which means our company will be relocating to new offices. Most things, however, won't change - for example we won't lose any staff and there are no plans to invest in different areas of the market.
We are a market leader because of our experienced staff. When we take on staff we look for people who will perform. well in a team. Since we train staff in many of the skills they need, a financial background is not essential.
