Graduates all face a reality of hunting for a job, the performance of employees(員工) influence their life directly. However, some critics(挑剔的人) argue that creating a close relationship with coworkers and superior(上級(jí)) plays the most important part. But the defenders(保守的人) assume(認(rèn)定) that the knowledge they learned at universities decide most. In my opinion, studying hard in school is the major factor(因素) for a satisfying career.

To tell the truth, a good relationship with leaders is good for a promotion (提升). When they are close to the leader, they could get an information directly and quickly, and get better chances to be promoted. For instance, a roommate of mine, working in the student’s union, developed a close friendship with the chief. So when he left the union, he promoted her as the chief directly. The ability of her and her fellow workmates is almost of the same standard. With the advantage of successful relationship, she wins at last.

The importance of studying hard at school is better than that of good relationship. Real skills make sure of a steady(穩(wěn)定的) performance in a company. That is, only skillful employees can survive in a company. An uncle of mine, for example, fight for his future in a company. He is really a cold man, and always serious but hard-working at school. It is the knowledge which promise him a bright future. Bosses only desire for talented workers who will create profits(利益) for them. When it comes to cutting members, the smart people with relationship will surely be cut firstly, however men with real skills would be the last to be cut.

More significantly(意味深長的), hard-working is a special feature even in a company. Hard-working is the deposit(積蓄、積累) of years, it’s a special attitude throughout one’s life. People who study hard at school are more likely to study hard in their career. When we were in a university, hard-working promised a great academic performance(學(xué)業(yè)成績). When we are in a company, hard-working made us adapt(適應(yīng)) better and faster to a new condition. In our life, hard-working get us to continue learning all the time. There is no wonder that graduates working hard at school have better performance in their career.

From what have been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion (得出結(jié)論) that working hard in school is more important. Workers studying hard at school have better ability to solve problems. On the contrary(相反), for people depend on getting along well with others, their career seems to be unsteady.

A. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult for the graduates to get a satisfying job after leaving university.

B. As long as you work hard at school, it will be easy for you to get a satisfying job after leaving university.

C. Whether to find a satisfying job has much to do with a graduate’s future life.

D. The knowledge a graduate learn at university can make sure of a satisfying job after leaving university.

A. getting a good job B. one’s career C. better performance D. promotion

People visit other countries for many purposes. Some travel on businesses; others travel to visit interesting places that are only found in other countries.

Wherever you go, and for whatever purpose, it’s important to be safe. A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people. While most people you meet when travelling are sure to be nice, there are dangers—theft being the most common. So prepare for your trip in advance.

As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don’t want to get to your destination （目的地）only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport is about to expire (到期). Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you can be treated. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have an international driver’s license.

If you need to take medicine with you—such as travel-sickness pills—keep it in its original container（容器）. If you don’t, you may find yourself doing a lot of explaining to customs officials at your destination.

Buy a guidebook and read about the local customs of the country you are going to. Also, try and learn a few basic words and phrases—don’t assume that the local people will speak your language.

When you get to your destination, you’d better use official transport. Always go to the bus and taxi stands, don’t accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in. If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while travelling, make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside. If you are travelling with valuables such as jewelry, or a lot of money, you should ask about a safe for storing them in. Finally, remember to smile. It’s the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the world!
