We are not concerned with those looking for a second temporary position while hunting for a permanent job. Nor are we concerned with those leaving an unsatisfactory job within the first few weeks. Instead, we will be dealing with those of you taking a real step on the career ladder, choosing a job to fit in with your ambitions.What sort of job should you look for? Much depends on your long-term aim. You need to ask yourself whether you want to specialize in a particular field, work up your way to higher levels of responsibility or out of your present employment into a broader field.Whatever you decide, you should choose your second job very carefully. You should be aiming to stay in it for two or three years.This job will be studied very carefully when you send your letter of application for your next job. Most important, it should extend you, develop you and give you increasing responsibility. Incidentally, if the travel bug（虫子）is biting, now it's time to pack up and go. You can do temporary work for a while when you return, pick up where you left off and get the second step then. Future potential employers will be glad to see that you have got it out of your system, and are not likely to go off again.Juliette Davidson spent her first year after leaving St. Aldate's College working for three lawyers.

One day I gave in my notice, bought an airticket and traveled for a year."Juliette now works as a Personal Assistant to Brenda Cleverdon, the Chief Executive(主管) ofbusiness in the Community. "In two and a half years I have become more able and my job has really grown," she says. “My job title is the same as it was when I started but the duties have changed.

But they didn't find out in the usual way.Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating. The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal(木炭)drawings or painted pictures. Carbon is an component found in many things, including charcoal and even people. But in this case, there was no paint or charcoal to test. People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools. The scientists had an "aha!" moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings. The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made."It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art," said Alistair Pike, an archaeological scientist at Britain's University of Bristol. “We were very fortunate that some of the sculptures were covered by stalagmites(石笋).”When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago, the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old. And some of the animals shown, like the European bison, are now extinct - another sign that the art is quite old.The artists came to Creswell Crags. This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age. At that time, much of the North Sea was dry, so people could move about more easily.Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years old. They show that the travelers hunted horses, reindeer, and arctic hares. Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany. It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away - another important evidence of understanding how humans spread out across the world.28. When the scientists found rocks stuck to the top of the drawing, they_____________.A. felt pleased and surprisedB. dated the pictures with radiocarbon datingC. found carbon in the cave picturesD. carved some pictures of animals into the rock29. Why do scientists say the art is quite old?A. The art was carved into stone with stone tools.B. Most animals carved in the stone are extinct.C. The cave is one of the farthest points in the world.D. Some pictures were covered by stalagmites more than 10,000 years old.30. By studying the cave art, scientists could learn about___________.A. how ancient people crossed the North SeaB. why some of the animals have died outC. how humans spread out across the worldD. what ancient people had for food at that time31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Cave Art About Animals Is Most BeautifulB. Cave Art Is Found in an Unusual WayC. Cave Art Turns Out to Be Britain's OldestD. Cave Art Has a Great Influence on BritainDPlanetary changes which will have an influence on many are drawing near because of the poor ecological state of the planet. Actually change has already begun through climate changes, but most humans haven't noticed this yet. Climate change has begun to influence the world already and will begin to worsen within the next few years. Around 2020 most people will begin to see that the results of climate change will be far more serious than now understood.As the planet is under big geological (地质的) stresses，which are continuously increasing, it will in the future no longer be able to support its population. Short of resources, over-farming, lack of clean air, not enough clean drinking water and drought are some of the issues that will all play a much greater role in the near future.Humans have caused large ecological destruction. The lifestyles of many people are changing at a fast speed; however, this will finally result in a shortage of some valuable resources. When this scarcity begins to happen, people will no longer be able to have sustainable (可持续的) lifestyles. lt's important to understand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life. Each person's decision can finally affect the future. These decisions, all combined, can have a very good effect on what the future will be like for humans. So the future depends on the choices we make at the present moment.While more and more people are becoming aware of climate change and other environmental problems related to global warming, not all are fully understanding how far-reaching its effects will be. Unfortunately, most of the humans realize that the planet isn't functioning well, but they don't understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans.So, every person should make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.32.
