    　　Although gifts play an important role in business around the world, you run the risk of offending(冒犯)a colleague if you present an inappropriate gift．In many eyes, a poor gift choice is worse than not offering a gift at all．

    　　Every culture has specific items that are considered taboo(忌讳)or bad luck．Many of these traditions aren't followed as much these days by the younger generations or within more modem and global companies．However, it's a good idea to be careful when you're deciding on a gift, particularly if the recipient is an older person．

    　　Here are some gifts that you should avoid in certain parts of the world：

    　　Europe：Red roses symbolize a romantic relationship in many parts of Europe．An arrangement containing 13 flowers is considered bad luck in Germany and Switzerland．In addition, the preference is for flower arrangements to have an even number of flowers．

    　　China：Sharp objects symbolize the cutting off of the relationship．Clocks are not appropriate because the Chinese phrase to give a clock sounds the same as to attend a dying parent．Handkerchiefs imply sadness．Never give an odd(奇数)number of an item; odd numbers symbolize separation, loneliness, and death．Do not bring food when you're invited to a meal because that implies your host cannot provide enough food．

    　　The Middle East：Buying alcohol is forbidden in the Islamic faith, so don't present wine to your host．Pigs are banned because they're considered scavengers, so you shouldn't bring pork products, either．

    　　India：Cows are sacred in India, so items made from cowhide are very offensive．

    　　Latin America：Since some of the world's finest leather goods are made in Latin America, it would be insulting to bring leather from another country．Also, chrysanthemums(菊花), white asters, carnations(康乃馨), and yellow and purple flowers are sent only for funerals(葬礼)．

    　　Korea and Japan：Don't give items in groups of four or nine．The words in Korean and Japanese that sound the same as the words for four and nine are related to death．In Japan, individual flowers are only for courting, death, or an illness．

    　　Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia：Keep your gifts simple．Large and expensive gifts are considered tasteless．

    Exited about landing your first job after graduation? Good, work hard and get learning. Don’t forget to listen to young professional’s advice about the “real world” you’re stepping into.
    1. Keep up with current events.
    In school, it’s easy to live in a cocoon, where you focus on studies and social life. But in the working world, not knowing who Alan Greenspan is or why North Korea is in the news so often can lead to potentially embarrassing conversations.
    2. Consider living with parents, even if you have a job.
    Think it over before you rule it out. Not only can you save a lot of money by living at home, but your parents may provide emotional support that you may need. They can help pave the way for you to move once you are settled into your new life.
    3. Don’t compare yourself to other people your age.
    Young adults are good at putting up impressive appearance, but you don’t really know what their lives are like. Those who seem to have the perfect job may spend part of the day making coffee and picking up boss’s dry-cleaning.
    4. Pay attention to small jobs as well as big ones.
    Don’t stress if, in your first job or internship(实习期), you get a lot more face time with the copy machine than with clients. You may wonder why you spent so much time studying in school only to do such tasks. But you may also be learning more about your new professional than you realize.
    5. Know when it’s time to move on.
    Give a new job a chance, perhaps a year, before you make up your mind to leave, especially if it’s your first job out of school. When you’re sure that the job isn’t for you, figure out what you want to do and how to do it. Zhang Yue, 26, spent three years working as an accountant in Shanghai before becoming a financial planner. He loves his new job and spent 10 months searching for it: “To find something you really want to do takes time.”

    A．how he succeeded

    【小题2】Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Comparing yourself to other people your age will make you harmed.
    B．If you don’t have impressive appearance, you can’t pick up boss’ dry-cleaning.
    C．What you have learned in school may come to nothing in your first job.
    D．Even a small job can do good.
    【小题3】 The last sentence means “____”.
    A．It’s easy to find a new job once you have experience
    B．If you hope to do something, you need suffer too much
    C．You needn’t be worried, even though you are trying to find a good job
    D．It will take you time to find a job that suits you well

    The United Nations says forty million people or so around the world went hungry in 2008，mainly because of higher food prices. Early estimates from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that 963 million people did not get enough to eat.
    World food prices have dropped since early 2008．Prices of major crops have decreased by more than half from their height earlier last year. But they remain high compared to earlier years．

    In sub-Saharan Africa, the percentage of the people who continually go hungry fell from 34% in 1997 to 30% in 2008．But the FAO says Ghana is the only country that has reached two sets of hunger reduction targets．These were set by the 1996 World Food Summit and the Millennium Development Goals．The main reason is the growth in agricultural production in Ghana.
    The FAO says some countries in Southeast Asia like Thailand and Vietnam have made progress in hunger reduction goals．But South Asia and Central Asia haven't, and North Korea is still in hot water.
