6.In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievements andconfident that their degree would help them to find a good job.However, in the past four year the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s collegegraduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of SanJose State University, got a degree working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s evenharder for new college graduates to find jobs.Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. T here were many high-tech(“dotcom”)job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with highsalaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However,“Times have changed.it’s a new market,” according to an officer of the university.The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked duringsummer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are stillpaying well, such as accounting or nursing.Even teaching is not a secure profession now.

Passage Three

Eating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.45. What is the conclusion of the study?

12.For generations，the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmarkers，helpinglocalcommunities decide when best to prepare their land and SOW their seeds.By observingsubtlechanges in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people--in air currents，theflowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees，the behaviour of ants，bird songs，etc-theyhave been able to interpret weather paterns and provide valuable advise.But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakel's can nolonger use those signs to make their predictions.And they don't have accDs8 to the technologiesavailable to meteorologists(气象学家).“ Climate change‘has come on so fast.People don’t know how to adapt or what.to plant，”says Obedi Osore.a traditmnal Nganyi weatherman.“0ur traditional crops are disappearingbecause thev cannot handle the new conditions.We need new strategies to handle climatechange.”Now a.British Canadian project is doing just that ， linking the rainmakers withgovernmentmeteorologists.The two groups get together each season and produce all agreedforcast to bespread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read on wnte—through ceremonies，public meetings and person to person communication.Both Darties arepleased with the collaboration.“I think the-two,sciences are equallyvalid.We are marrying our energies to help people better.”says Mr.Onunga，a Nyanyicommunity elder involed in the project.“results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forcast wasaccurate.”savs Gilbert Ouma，a lecturer at the University of Nairobi.“Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adopt to tomorrow.”says Professor Laban Ogallo，leader of the Nganyi projeet.What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?

19.There Pictures from outer space now show us how much land has changed on earth．These images are taken by Landsat 7, a government satellite．The satellites have been used for 27 years．They reveal the clear-cutting of forests in the northwestern part of the United States．Pictures show the loss of rain forests in South America. 　　NASA's Darrel Williams speaks about the Landsat 7 Project．He said that an eruption caused trees to burn up in a large forest．Fifteen years later, pinkish images from space show that the trees and plant life are growing again．Williams says that clear-cut areas easily show up in the pictures．He wants Americans to look at how much land is being cleared of forests in our country. 　　Satellites have provided other information about changes on earth．In the past ten years, more than four miles have shrunk from glaciers in Alaska．Landsat 7 received these computer images of Glacier Bay in Alaska. 　　Hurricanes Floyd and Irene have damaged the coastline in North Carolina．Runoff from farms and silt have gone into the．ocean according to satellite images．Loss of trees and forests have caused hotter summers in southern cities such as Atlanta, Georgia. The Landsat 7 images are like pictures in a photo album．Instead of pictures of the family, the album shows changes around the globe in the past 25 years. 　　A new satellite, Terra, is going to be launched by NASA soon．It will be more advanced than Landsat 7 and will take important global pictures．Ocean temperatures and energy loss will be provided by Terra daily.21 NASA can tell that vegetation is growing back because of __.
