ADear Coach，I have been out of work for almost six months now and things are starting to get very tough for me. I am practically living out of my savings. I have been looking for a job, but things are really bad and 1 cannot find a single person who wants to hire me. I know that the main problem is that I do not have a degree. I want to go back to school and get my degree, but I also need a job now. I owe money to some people who have been helping me. Because I am out of work，I cannot pay them back. What do you think 1 should do? I need to find a job as quickly as possible, and want to know what else to do to get people to give me a chance to work for them.The UnemployedDear Unemployed，Before you get yourself in a really bad situation, you need to stop borrowing mon ey from people. If you continue doing that, you will be deep in debts and the situation will get even worse for you. The next thing you need to do is look for a job depending on your abilities, skills, and experience. By doing that, you will be increasing your chances of finding a job that suits you best. And the last thing I will suggest is that you should stop feeling sorry for yourself and continue working hard to get a job that you need. Borrowing money, complaining, and feeling bad for your situation will do no good to you. Stay strong and get out there and start showing the world what you can offer. I promise if you work hard and never give up, you will soon find thejob that you are looking for. And while you are doing it, thing about getting your degree as well because it will help you to become more challenging. Try those tips.The Coach1. Why did the unemployed write to the coach?A.

BWhy does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there’s no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition.The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift（改变）to the right. A driver would sit on the rear（后面的）left horse in order to wave his whip（鞭子）with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason, stated in 1908: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially… i f there is a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world’s few remaining holdouts (坚持不变者). Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well--- though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.4. Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?A. They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.B. Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.C. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.D. Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.5. Of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is_________.A. JapanB. E nglandC. AustriaD. Australia6. Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left __________.A. so that passengers could get off convenientlyB. in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.C. because rules at that tim e weren’t perfectD. though many countries were strongly against that7. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Before the French Revolution, all the French people used the right.B. The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.C. People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays.D. All the Asian nations use the left at present.8. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Who made the great contribution to the shift of traffic directions?B. How cars have become a popular means of transportation?C. How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left?D.
