　　I am a sales representative and travel all over England to visit my customers．One cold February morning I was due to visit a store at 9 am．I 　　1　　 my car, bundled my scarf around me and 　　2　　 up the street towards his shop front．

　　The Street where his store was 　　3　　 was partially blocked by two large, ruddy faced workmen who were teaing up the concrete．I prepared myself for the 　　4　　 cat calls(起哄)．I was up early, out in the cold, and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn't even 　　5　　．

　　Then I stopped and 　　6　　my own father．Both he and my grandfather had 　　7　　 much of their early careers working outside in similar jobs before they 　　8　　 and became engineers．I recalled how hard Dad worked, in all kinds of 　　9　　; how he'd come home with sunburn or frostnip(冻伤)．I realized that if was cold then these two guys were probably 　　10　　, given that it looked as though they'd already been　　11　　for hours．

　　My customer's shop wasn't open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his 　　12　　．I Went to a coffee sh、op around the comer, 　　13　　 myself a hot chocolate, then two more with whipped cream．I made my 　　14　　 down the Street to wards the workmen．One of them turned to me with a wide smile and 　　15　　 me with a joking "Oh lovey，you shouldn't have! " To his 　　16　　, I passed him the tray with the two 　　17　　 chocolates．I replied, "Maybe not．　　18　　 it's too cold to be working outside today。"

　　I got two looks of genuine(真诚的) 　　19　　, and a timely reminder that it's as easy to be 　　20　　 as it is to pre-judge-but the former is so much nicer!

　　1．Showcase your grades．Grades are still important to potential employers．

　　2．Get out into the real world．An internship or part-time co-op job tells employers that you have already experienced a real–world work environment and know what to expect．

　　3．Communicate well with others．No matter what career path you choose to follow－from nurse to computer programmer－you have to have solid written and oral communication skills to get a job．

　　4．Network, network, network．Most graduates land jobs through people they know－not by answering newspaper ads．So, make a list of your own contacts, such as professors, family and friends, and add to it by attending career fairs and other professional associations and activities．

　　5．Be computer literate．It is the information age－you need to be able to show solid computer literacy that is related to your field．

　　6．Put your best resume(简历)forward．A resume should be a short and clear, error-free, reader-friendly, one-page document that can be easily looked through．

　　7．Research．Take the time to learn about the company you are targeting by visiting its Website or researching the company at the library．

　　8．Use examples．Using detailed examples from school and internships to answer questions about your experiences and paint a clearer picture of your strengths and skills for the employer．

　　9．Smile!It is hard to smile when you are on the hot seat－but a smile during an interview shows enthusiasm for the position and the company．Potential(潜在的)employers might interpret a non-smiling face as a lack of interest．

　　10．Show your thanks．A thank-you note following a phone or a face-to-face interview reinforces your interest in the position and the company．

　　Most American students go to traditional public schools．There are about 88,000 pub-lic schools all over the US．Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools．

　　Charter schools are self-governing．Private companies operate some charter schools．They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools．They receive tax money just as other public schools do．Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning．These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate．

　　Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing tra-ditional public schools．Local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach．Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them．Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools．

　　The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize pub-lic schools that are failing to educate students．But some education agencies and unions op-pose charter schools．One teachers' union has just made public the results of the first nation-al study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools．

　　The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress．U-math education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests the students in regular public schools．

　　Some experts say the students is not a fair look at charter schools．because students in those schools have more problems than students in teaditional schools．Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress．
