In America, May and June are the traditional months for graduations. A listener in China, Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. This is compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference: fewer of this year’s graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.caterpillar 毛虫2.pipe 烟斗3.crossly 生气地原文Chapter 3: Conversation With a CaterpillarNow, Alice said to herself, “First, I must get a little bigger. And second, I must find my way into that beautiful garden. I think that will be the best plan, but oh dear, how shall I get bigger? Perhaps I must eat or drink something, But the question is what?”Alice looked all around her at the flowers and the trees, but she could not see anything to eat.Then she saw a large mushroom near her.It was as tall as she was.She walked across to look at it, and there on top of the mushroom, was a large caterpillar smoking a pipe.After a while,the caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth and said to Alice in a slow sleepy voice, “Who are you?”“I don't really know, sir,” said Alice, “I know who I was when I got up this morning,but I have changed so often since then. I think I am a different person now.”“What do you mean by that?” said the caterpillar, “Explain yourself.”“I can't explain myself, sir,” said Alice, “Because I'm not myself, you know.”“I don't know,”said the caterpillar.“It's difficult to describe,” Alice replied politely, “One minute, I'm very small;the next minute, I'm as tall as a house; then I'm small again. Usually I stay the same all day, and changing so often feels very strange to me.”“You said,”the caterpillar in a very unfriendly voice, “Who are you?”They were now back at the beginning of their conversation, which was not very helpful.Alice felt a little cross and decided to walk away.“Come back,” the caterpillar called after her, “I've something important to say.”This sounded better, so Alice turned back.“Never get angry,” said the caterpillar.“Is that all?” said Alice, “Trying not to be angry?”“No,” said the caterpillar.For some minutes, it smoked its pipe and did not speak.But at last,it took the pipe out of its mouth and said, “So you've changed, have you? How tall do you want to be?”“I would like to be a little larger, sir. Please!” said Alice, “8 centimeters is really very small.”For a while,the caterpillar smoked its pipe.Then it shook itself, got down off the mushroom, and moved slowly away into the grass.It did not look back at Alice, but said, “One side will make you taller and the other side we'll make you shorter.”“One side of what?” thought Alice to herself.She did not say this aloud, but the caterpillar said of the mushroom.Then, it moved away into the wood.Alice looked at the mushroom carefully, but it was round and did not have sides. At last, she broke off a piece in each hand from opposite sides of the mushroom.She ate some of the piece in her left hand and waited to see what would happen.A minute later,her head was as high as the tallest tree in the wood, and she was looking at a sea of green leaves.Then a bird appeared and began to fly around her head, screaming, “Egg thief, egg thief, go away.”“I'm not an egg thief,” said Alice.“Oh no,” said the bird angrily, “But you eat eggs, don't you?”“Yes, I do,but I don't steal them,” explained Alice quickly, “We have them for breakfast,you know.”“Then how do you get them if you don't steal them?” screamed the bird.This was a difficult question to answer, so Alice brought up her right hand through the leaves and ate a little from the other piece of mushroom.She began to get smaller at once.And very carefully, she ate first from one hand, then from the other, until she was about 25 centimeters high.“That's better,” she said to herself, “And now I must find that garden.”She began to walk through the wood, and after a while, she came to a little house.翻译第三章：与毛毛虫的对话这时，爱丽丝自言自语道：“首先，我得长得再大一些。其次，我得找到通往那座美丽花园的路。我觉得这是最好的计划，不过哎呀，我该怎么才能长得更大呢？也许我得吃点什么或者喝点什么，但问题是该吃什么？”爱丽丝环顾四周，看着那些花和树木，却看不到任何能吃的东西。然后，她看到身旁有一颗巨大的蘑菇。它和她一样高。她走过去看了看，只见蘑菇顶上有一条巨大的毛毛虫正抽着烟斗。过了一会儿，毛毛虫从嘴里取出烟斗，用缓慢而困倦的声音对爱丽丝说：“你是谁？”“先生，我真的不知道，”爱丽丝说，“我早上醒来时还知道自己是谁，但从那以后我变化了好多好多。我觉得我现在已经是个完全不同的我了。”“你这是什么意思？”毛毛虫说，“解释一下吧。”“我没法解释我自己，先生，”爱丽丝说，“因为你知道的，我不是我自己。”“我不知道，”毛毛虫说。“这很难描述，”爱丽丝礼貌地回答，“一会儿我非常小；下一刻我又高得像座房子；然后我又变小了。通常我一整天都保持不变，而频繁地改变又让我感觉很奇怪。”“你说，”毛毛虫用一种非常不友好的声音说道，“你是谁？”他们现在又回到了对话的开头，而这并没有什么帮助。爱丽丝感到有点生气，决定走开。“回来吧，”毛毛虫在她身后喊道，“我有重要的事情要说。”这听起来好多了，于是爱丽丝转过身来。“别生气，”毛毛虫说。“就这些吗？”爱丽丝说，“只是尽量不生气？”“不，”毛毛虫说。几分钟里，它一直抽着烟斗，没有说话。但最后，它把烟斗从嘴里拿出来，说道：“所以你变了，是吗？你想变成多高？”“我想变大一点，先生。求求了！”爱丽丝说，“8 厘米实在是太小了。”几分钟里，毛毛虫一直抽着烟斗。然后它抖了抖身子，从蘑菇上下来，慢慢地走进草丛里。它没有回头看爱丽丝，而是说道：“一边会让你变高，另一边我们会让你变矮。”“什么一边？”爱丽丝心里想着。她没有大声说出来，但毛毛虫却在谈论那个蘑菇。然后，它走进了树林里。爱丽丝仔细地观察着那朵蘑菇，但发现它圆圆的，没有边角。最后，她从蘑菇的相对两侧各掰下了一小块。她用左手吃了一些小块里的东西，然后等着看会发生什么。一分钟过后，她的脑袋已经和树林里最高的那棵树一样高了，她正望着一片绿色的树叶海洋。这时一只鸟出现了，开始围着她的脑袋飞来飞去，尖叫着：“偷蛋贼，偷蛋贼，走开。”“我不是偷蛋贼，”爱丽丝说。“哦，不，”那只鸟生气地说，“但你吃鸡蛋，不是吗？”“是的，我吃鸡蛋，但我不是偷蛋贼，”爱丽丝迅速解释道，“你知道的，我们早餐会吃鸡蛋。”“那如果你们不吃的话，又是怎么得到鸡蛋的呢？”那只鸟尖叫道。这个问题很难回答，所以爱丽丝用另一只手从树叶中伸出，从另一块蘑菇上吃了一点。她立刻开始变小。然后非常小心地，她先从一只手那里吃一点，接着再从另一只手那里吃一点，直到她大约高了 25 厘米。“好多了，”她自言自语道，“现在我得找到那个花园。”她开始穿过那片树林前行，不一会儿，她就来到了一座小房子里。

It’s the London Tea Trade centre. As you can see, it is on the North Bank of the River Thames. It is the center of an important industry in the everyday life of the British people. Tea is the British national drink. Every man, woman and child over ten years of age, has an average over four cups a day, or someone thousand five hundred cups annually. About 30 percent of the world’s export of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.Now in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea. 

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.nonsense 胡言乱语2.Duchess 公爵夫人3.fan 风扇原文Chapter 2: The Pool of Tears“Curiouser, curiouser,” said Alice.She was very surprised, and for a minute, she forgot how to speak good English.“I shall be as tall as a house in a minute,” she said.She tried to look down at her feet and could only just see them.“Goodbye feet,”she called, “Who will put on your shoes now? Oh dear, what nonsense I'm talking?”Just then, her head hit the ceiling of the room.She was now about 3 meters high.Quickly she took the little gold key from the table and hurried to the garden door.Poor Alice,she lay on the floor and looked into the garden with one eye, she could not even put her head through the door.She began to cry again and went on crying and crying.The tears ran down her face.And soon,there was a large pool of water all around her on the floor.Suddenly, she heard a voice and she stopped crying to listen.“Oh, the Duchess,the Duchess, she'll be so angry. I'm late and she's waiting for me. Oh dear, oh dear.”It was the White Rabbit again.He was hurrying down the long room with some white gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other hand.Alice was afraid, but she needed help.She spoke in a quiet voice, “Oh, please, sir.”The rabbit jumped wildly, dropped the gloves and the fan, and hurried away as fast as he could.Alice picked up the fan and the gloves.The room was very hot, so she began to fan herself while she talked.“Oh dear, how strange everything is today. Did I change in the night, am I a different person today? But if I'm a different person, then the next question is ‘who am I’, that's the mystery.”She began to feel very unhappy again, but then she looked down at her hand.She was wearing one of the rabbit's white gloves.“How did I get it on my hand?” She thought, “Oh I'm getting smaller again.”She looked round the room.“I'm already less than a meter high and getting smaller every second. How can I stop it?”She saw the fan in her other hand and quickly dropped it.She was now very very small, and the little garden door was locked again, and the little gold key was lying on the glass table.“Things are worse than ever,” thought poor Alice.she turned away from the door and fell into salt water right up to her neck.At first, she thought it was the sea, but then she saw it was the pool of tears, her tears.“Crying makes a lot of tears when you are 3 meters tall. Oh, why did I cry so much,” said Alice.She swam around and looked for a way out, but the pool was very big.Just then she saw an animal in the water near her.It looked like a large animal to Alice, but it was only a mouse.“Shall I speak to it?” thought Alice, “Everything's very strange down here, so perhaps a mouse can talk.”So she began, “Oh,mouse, do you know the way out of this pool? I'm very tired of swimming. Oh, mouse.”Alice did not know if this was the right way to speak to a mouse, but she wanted to be polite.The mouse looked at her with its little eyes, but it said nothing.“Perhaps it doesn't understand English,” thought Alice. “Perhaps it's a French mouse?”So she began again and said in French, “Where is my cat?”This was the first sentence in her French lesson book.The mouse jumped half out of the water and looked at her angrily.“Oh, I'm so sorry,” cried Alice quickly.“Of course,you don't like cats, do you?” Cried the mouse in a high, angry voice.“Well, perhaps not,” Alice began kindly.But the mouse was now swimming quickly away, and soon Alice was alone again.At last, she found her way out of the pool and sat down on the ground.She felt very lonely and unhappy, but after a while the White Rabbit came past again, looking for his white gloves and his fan.“The Duchess,the Duchess. Oh, my ears and whiskers. She'll cut my head off, I know she will.Oh, where did I drop my gloves?”Then he saw Alice.“Why? Mary Anne, what are you doing here? Run home at once and bring me some gloves and a fan.Quick now.”Alice hurried away.“But where is his house?” she thought while she ran strangely. She was no longer in the long room with a little door, but outside in a wood.She ran and ran, but could not see a house anywhere, so she sat down under a flower to rest.翻译第二章：泪之池塘“越来越奇怪了，越来越奇怪了，”爱丽丝说道。她非常惊讶，有一会儿甚至忘记了如何用标准的英语表达。“马上我就会长得跟房子一样高了。”她说。她试图低头看看自己的双脚，却只能勉强看到它们。“再见了，双脚。”她喊道，“现在谁来给你穿上鞋子呢？哦，天啊，我这话说得真是荒唐！”就在这时，她的头撞到了房间的天花板上。她现在大约有 3 米高。她迅速从桌子上拿起那把小金钥匙，匆匆走向花园的门。可怜的爱丽丝，她躺在地板上，用一只眼睛看着花园，甚至都无法把头伸进门里。她又开始哭了起来，不停地哭啊哭啊。眼泪顺着她的脸颊流下来。很快，地板上周围就形成了一大滩水。突然，她听到了一个声音，她停止哭泣去倾听。“哦，公爵夫人，公爵夫人，她会非常生气的。我迟到了，她还在等我呢。哎呀，哎呀！”又是那只白兔。他正匆匆穿过长长的房间，一只手拿着白色的手套，另一只手拿着一把大扇子。爱丽丝感到害怕，但她需要帮助。她用轻柔的声音说道：“哦，先生，请您帮帮我吧。”兔子疯狂地跳跃着，丢下了手套和扇子，然后以最快的速度匆匆离开了。爱丽丝捡起了扇子和手套。房间里非常热，于是她一边说话一边开始扇风。“哎呀，今天的一切都变得如此奇怪。我是不是在夜里发生了什么变化，今天我是不是变成了一个完全不同的自己？但如果我是另一个自己，那么接下来的问题就是‘我是谁’，这就是个谜。”她又开始感到非常不开心，但随后她低头看了看自己的手。她正戴着一只兔子的白色手套。“我怎么会把这只手套戴在手上呢？”她想，“哦，我又变小了。”她环顾了一下房间。“我已经不到一米高了，而且每秒钟都在变小。我怎么能阻止它呢？”她看到另一只手里拿着的扇子，迅速把它扔了下去。她现在非常非常小了，那个小花园的门又锁上了，那把小金钥匙正躺在玻璃桌子上。“情况比以往任何时候都更糟了，”可怜的爱丽丝心想。她转身远离门，掉进了水里，水一直没过她的脖子。起初，她以为那是大海，但随后她看到那是泪水的池塘，那是她的泪水。“当你有三米高时，哭泣会流下很多眼泪。哦，我为什么哭得这么厉害呢？”爱丽丝说道。她游来游去，寻找出路，但这个水池太大了。就在这时，她看到水里靠近自己的一只动物。对爱丽丝来说，它看起来像一只大动物，但其实只是一只老鼠。“我要和它说话吗？”爱丽丝心想，“这里的一切都太奇怪了，所以也许老鼠会说话。”于是她开口说道：“哦，老鼠，你知道怎么走出这个水池吗？我游得太累了。哦，老鼠。”爱丽丝不知道这样跟一只老鼠说话是否恰当，但她还是想保持礼貌。老鼠用它的小眼睛看着她，但什么也没说。“也许它不懂英语，”爱丽丝想，“也许它是只法国老鼠？”于是她又开始说起来，用法语说道：“我的猫在哪里？”这是她法语课本上的第一句话。老鼠从水里跳出来一半，愤怒地看着她。“哦，我很抱歉，”爱丽丝急忙说道。“当然，你不喜欢猫，对吧？”老鼠高声愤怒地说道。“嗯，也许不喜欢，”爱丽丝和善地说道。但老鼠这时正快速游走，很快爱丽丝又独自一人了。最后，她从水池里找到了出路，坐在地上。她感到非常孤独和沮丧，但过了一会儿，白兔又走了过来，正在寻找他的白色手套和扇子。“公爵夫人，公爵夫人。哦，我的耳朵和胡须啊。她会砍掉我的脑袋的，我知道她会的。哦，我把手套丢哪儿了？”然后他看到了爱丽丝。“怎么了？玛丽·安妮，你在这儿干什么？马上跑回家，给我拿些手套和扇子来。快点。”爱丽丝匆匆跑开了。“但他的房子在哪里呢？”她一边跑一边奇怪地想着。她不再是在那间有小门的长房间里，而是在外面的树林里。她跑啊跑，却哪儿也看不到房子，于是她就在一棵花下坐下来休息。
