13、mbling to find jobs, one of the most important things for graduates to understand is that youre in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning. Id like to pass on a few lessons, which werent necessarily covered in school. If youve been out of school for a few years or a lot
14、of years this advice is still for you; consider it a refresher course. Develop relationships and keep networking. If I had to name the single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people Ive met over a lifetime, Id say it is the ability to create and nurture a network of contacts. Start
15、strengthening your relationships now, so theyll be in place when you really need them later. In the classroom it was mostly about your individual performance. Success in real life will require relationships. Who you know determines how effectively you can apply what you know. So stay in touch. Find
16、advisors and mentors. Advisors will not be assigned to you, as in school. You should actively seek your own mentors. And remember, mentors change over a lifetime. Start connecting with people you respect who can help you get a leg up in each aspect of your life, personal and professional. Make it as
17、 easy and convenient as possible for them to talk with you, and always look for ways to contribute to their success, too. Build your reputation. Nothing is more important than a good reputation in building a successful career or business. If you dont have a positive reputation, it will be difficult
18、to be successful. All it takes is one foolish act to destroy a reputation. Set goals. Ask any winner what their keys to success are, and you will hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence and setting goals. If you dont set goals to determine where youre going, how will you kn
19、ow when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive to keep you going all day. Most important, goals need to be measurable, identifiable, attainable, specific and in writing. Get along with people. Ask recruiters from various companies to name the
20、 number one skill necessary for new hires, and many of them will say its the ability to get along with people. Co-workers share office space, facilities, break rooms, refrigerators and coffee pots. They arrive together, take breaks together, eat lunch together and meet to solve problems together. Al
21、l this closeness and familiarity can wear thin at times. Everyone shares responsibility for making the company work, run smoothly and stay profitable. Be happy. We are all responsible for our own happiness. Dont waste time and energy being unhappy. When people arent happy doing what they do, they do
22、nt do it as well. Life will always be filled with challenges and opportunities. Both are best faced with a positive attitude. 考试 科目： 翻译 硕士英语 共 9 页，第 5 页 Smile. A smile should be standard equipment for all people. I learned years ago that one of the most powerful things you can do to have influence o
23、ver others is to smile at them. Everything seems much easier with a smile. Sense of humor. Im a firm believer in using humor not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps to overlook the unbecoming, understand the unconventional, tolerate the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected and outlast the
24、unbearable. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork. Be yourself. We all have areas that need a little work, but accepting who we are and making the most of our good points will take us much farther than trying to be
25、 someone we arent. Be content with your abilities and comfortable enough in your own skin to trust your gut. Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help other people on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life. They are more inclined to be go-gette
26、rs and consistently report being happier. Volunteering is good for everyone. 31. What is the single characteristic Harvey MacKay says is shared by all the truly successful people he has met? A.

29、otional as well as physiologic needs. Sucking, which is the infants means of gaining both food and emotional security, conditions the association of eating with well-being or with deprivation. If the child is breast-fed and has supportive body contact as well as good mild intake, if the child is all
30、owed to suck for as long as he or she desires, and if both the child and the mother enjoy the nursing experience and share their enjoyment, the child is more likely to shrive both physically and emotionally. On the other hand, if the mother is nervous and resents the child or cuts him/her off from t
31、he milk supply before either the childs hunger or sucking need is satisfied, or handle the child hostilely during the feeding, or props the baby with a bottle rather than holding the child, the child may develop physically but will begin to show signs of emotional disturbance at an early age. If, in
32、 addition, the infant is further 考试 科目： 翻译 硕士英语 共 9 页，第 6 页 abused by parental indifference or intolerance, he or she will carry scars of such emotional deprivation throughout life. Eating habits are also conditioned by family and other psychosocial environments. If an individuals family eats large
33、quantities of food, then he or she is inclined to eat large amounts. If an individuals family eats mainly vegetable, then he or she will be inclined to like vegetables. If mealtime is a happy and significant event, then the will tend to think of eating in those terms. And if a family eats quickly, w
34、ithout caring what is being eaten and while fighting at the dinner table, then the person will most likely adopt the same eating pattern and be adversely affected by it. This conditioning to food can remain unchanged through a lifetime unless the individual is awakened to the fact of conditioning an
35、d to the possible need for altering his or her eating patterns in order to improve nutritional intake. Conditioning spills over into and is often reinforced by religious beliefs and other customs, so that, for example, a Jew, whose religion forbids the eating of pork, might have guilt feeling if he
36、or she ate pork. An older Roman Catholic might be conditioned to feel guilty if he or she eats meat on Friday, traditionally a fish day. 36. A well-breast-fed child _.

37、roblems D. is more likely to have his or her needs satisfied in the future 37. While sucking, the baby is actually _.

40、t have a nutritional eating habit conditioned by religion beliefs D. observes an eating pattern conditioned by his or her psychosocial environment Passage 3 Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: 考试 科目： 翻译 硕士英语 共 9 页，第 7 页 Experts say distracted walking is a growing problem, as peopl
41、e of all ages become more dependent on electronic devices for personal and professional matters. They also note pedestrian deaths have been rising in recent years. In 2005, 11% of all US deaths involved pedestrians, but that number rose to 15% in 2014. The rise in deaths coincides with states introd
42、ucing bills that target pedestrians. Some states, such as Hawaii, Arkansas, Illinois, Nevada and New York, continue to introduce legislation every year. The measure recently introduced by New Jersey assembly woman Pamela Lampitt would ban walking while texting and prohibit pedestrians on public road
43、s from using electronic communication devices unless they are hands-free. Violators would face fines of up to $50, 15-day imprisonment or both, which is the same penalty as jaywalking. Half of the fine would be allocated to safety education about the dangers of walking while texting, said Lampitt. S
44、ome see the proposal as an unnecessary government overreach, while others say they understand Lampitts reasoning. But most agree that people need to be made aware of the issue. Distracted pedestrians, like distracted drivers, present a potential danger to themselves and drivers on the road, Lampitt
45、said. An individual crossing the road distracted by their smartphone presents just as much danger to motorists as someone jaywalking and should be held, at minimum, to the same penalty. The main question raised about the measure, though, is whether it can be enforced consistently by police officers
46、who usually have more pressing matters to deal with. Some feel that rather than imposing a new law, the state should focus on distracted-walking education. Lampitt said the measure is needed to stop and penalize risky behavior. She cited a National Safety Council report that showed distracted-walkin
47、g incidents involving cellphones accounted for an estimated 11,101 injuries from 2000 through 2011. The study found a majority of those injured were female and most were 40 o r younger. Talking on the phone was the most prevalent activity at the time of injury, while texting accounted for 12%.
