Do you see many signs around you? Do you know the signs are an important part of our daily life? They can be in pictures or in words to give people information. What do people think are good signs? If you are thinking about making signs for others, what should you know?
The most important thing is that signs should be simple and easy to understand. It is important to use clear language. On the other hand, the words should be easy to write and you just need to write downwhat you want to do. "Keep off the grass" is a very good example. It means "Don't touch or walk on the grass".
Nowadays, there is a saying that "A picture paints a thousand words". Perhaps that's why we are seeing more and more signs in pictures, or a combination of pictures and words. However, that's the difficult part, because picture signs may have different meanings in different countries.
43.First, a good sign should be ____.
A.clear
B. beautiful
C. funny
D. interesting
44.What does the underlined word "combination" mean?
A.分开
B. 结合
C. 并列
D. 平行
45.What is the disadvantage (不利因素) of picture signs?
A.They are too simple.
B. They are not easy to understand.
C. They are not as interesting as word sign.
D. They may have different meanings in different countries.

Most people graduate from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job that pays well. How much money can you make? Ask yourself these questions: What can I do? What skills do I have? Also ask yourself: How much education do I have? For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power.
In the United States, high school graduates make about $ 18,600 a year. If you do not finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school!

he can make S42,000. With a master's degree (硕士学位), he can make about $53,000. If the person gets a PhD（博士学位), he can make almost $79,000 or more a year.
