Changes in College Graduates' Taking Their Jobs
The two charts reveal the striking changes in college students' taking their jobs. As is shown in thecharts, the number of graduates who continue to study is growing steadily; the number ofgraduates who take jobs irrelevant to their majors rises from 7% in 1997 to 30% in 2007, whilethe number of graduates who hold jobs in their majors decreases dramatically from 89% in 1997to 58% in 2007.
两幅图显示的是大学生在就业方面的惊人变化。正如图中所显示的那样，选择继续学习的毕业生的数量稳步增长；参加与他们专业不相关的工作的毕业生数由1997年的7%上涨到2007年的30% ，而保持在他们的专业就业的大学生数目从1997年的89%大幅降低到2007年的58% 。
This obvious change is chiefly due to the following reasons. To start with, more and more collegegraduates find it necessary to further study before entering the tough job market. Besides, toomany college students study hot majors, but society cannot ofier so many jobs related to theirmajors. Furthermore, some colleges and universities fail to gear their curricula to the developmentof economy, so some courses are outdated，
irrelevant and impractical.
这一明显变化主要是由于以下的原因。首先，越来越多的大学毕业生发现，在进入到艰苦的
就业市场之前进一步学习很有必要。另外，太多大学生学习热门专业，但社会不能提供这么多与他们专业相关的工作。而且，一些高校没能够将其课程与经济的发展连接起来，所以一些课程过时、无意义并且不切实际。
Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that college students should try to meet the needsof the job market if they want to find a suitable job. They should be careful in choosing majors;and meanwhile, colleges and universities authorities need reform their course system to satify thedemands of job market. (197 words)
根据以上分析，我们能得出结论:如果大学生想要找到合适的工作，他们应该尝试去适应就业市场的需要。他们应该在选择专业的时候慎重；同时，高校领导需要改革他们的课程体系，以满足就业市场的需要。

作为学生，我们差不多每天都要学习。然而，并非每个人都知道如何有效地学习。上面这个图表能帮助我们更好地了解这个。
This graph shows the relationship between the study efficiency and the hours spent in studying ina day. From it, we can see that more hours of study do not necessarily result in better or higherstudy efficiency. In the graph, the optimum of efficiency comes when one studies about 5 hoursand the efficiency begins to drop as he studies longer than it. By the time when one studies 11hours per day， his efficiency of study becomes very poor. 该图显示了学习效率和一天中在学习上所花费的时间之间的关系。从图表中我们可以看到更多的学习时间不一定会产生更好或更高的学习效率。在图表中，当一个人学习差不多5个小时的时候，将产生效率的最佳值，当学习超过这个时间的时候，效率开始下降。当一个人每天学习达到11个小时，他的学习效率会变得非常低。
In conclusion, there is always a maximum of efficiency and an appropriate amount of time forstudy in a day. More time spent in study doesn't always mean greater efficiency.(137 worrds)

Faced with a flood of advertisement, some people wonder whet her it is necessary to have suchhuge sums spent on advertis ing. They often cite in illustration of it the attractive, but false anddeceptive advertisements to which many consumers fall victim. They suggest that sinceadvertising is an entir ely unproductive industry and may even harm the customers' i nterests, whydon't we stop advertising and use the money to reduce the price of goods? It sounds like a goodidea, but they fail to notice the contribution advertising makes to
our society. Because theproduction of a better product to co mpete for customers' money is the goal of advertisers, custo mers are thus given a chance to compare their products and get the best and cheapest one.Besides, as the advertisement can provide people with a lot of immediate and detailed i nformationas to the availability of a certain product, or a service or a job, it makes life much more convenient.And anotber thing we mustn't forget: the fact that we pay so l ittle for our daily newspapers and TVprograms is due entirel y to the money spent by advertisers.
面对广告大潮，有些人想知道，我们是否有必要在广告上花费如此之多。他们常引用那些吸引人、但虚假和欺骗的广告做例子，许多消费者成为这些广告的受害者。他们表示，既然广告是个完全非生产性的行业，而且甚至会危害到消费者的利益，我们为何不停止做广告，用这些钱来降低商品价格呢? 这听起来是个好主意，但是他们没有注意到广告对我们的社会所做的贡献。由于生产好的产品来争夺消费者的钱是刊登广告者的目标，所以消费者有机会去对比他们的产品，并选择最物美价廉的。另外，由于广告能给人们提供许多关于某种产品、服务或工作的可利用性的快速而具体的信息，它使生活更加便捷。另一件我们不应该忘记的事情是:我们在每天的报纸和电视节目上花费的很少，这完全是因为刊登广告的人花了很多钱。
Advertising performs such a useful service to our society th at we can't imagine what would happenifthere were no adverti sements. (262 words)
广告为我们的社会提供了如此有用的服务，因此我们不能想象如果没有了广告，会发生什么。

Changes in College Graduates' Taking Their Jobs
The two charts reveal the striking changes in college students' taking their jobs. As is shown in thecharts, the number of graduates who continue to study is growing steadily; the number ofgraduates who take jobs irrelevant to their majors rises from 7% in 1997 to 30% in 2007, whilethe number of graduates who hold jobs in their majors decreases dramatically from 89% in 1997to 58% in 2007.
两幅图显示的是大学生在就业方面的惊人变化。正如图中所显示的那样，选择继续学习的毕业生的数量稳步增长；参加与他们专业不相关的工作的毕业生数由1997年的7%上涨到2007年的30% ，而保持在他们的专业就业的大学生数目从1997年的89%大幅降低到2007年的58% 。
This obvious change is chiefly due to the following reasons. To start with, more and more collegegraduates find it necessary to further study before entering the tough job market. Besides, toomany college students study hot majors, but society cannot ofier so many jobs related to theirmajors. Furthermore, some colleges and universities fail to gear their curricula to the developmentof economy, so some courses are outdated，
irrelevant and impractical.
这一明显变化主要是由于以下的原因。首先，越来越多的大学毕业生发现，在进入到艰苦的
就业市场之前进一步学习很有必要。另外，太多大学生学习热门专业，但社会不能提供这么多与他们专业相关的工作。而且，一些高校没能够将其课程与经济的发展连接起来，所以一些课程过时、无意义并且不切实际。
Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that college students should try to meet the needsof the job market if they want to find a suitable job. They should be careful in choosing majors;and meanwhile, colleges and universities authorities need reform their course system to satify thedemands of job market. (197 words)
根据以上分析，我们能得出结论:如果大学生想要找到合适的工作，他们应该尝试去适应就业市场的需要。他们应该在选择专业的时候慎重；同时，高校领导需要改革他们的课程体系，以满足就业市场的需要。

作为学生，我们差不多每天都要学习。然而，并非每个人都知道如何有效地学习。上面这个图表能帮助我们更好地了解这个。
This graph shows the relationship between the study efficiency and the hours spent in studying ina day. From it, we can see that more hours of study do not necessarily result in better or higherstudy efficiency. In the graph, the optimum of efficiency comes when one studies about 5 hoursand the efficiency begins to drop as he studies longer than it. By the time when one studies 11hours per day， his efficiency of study becomes very poor. 该图显示了学习效率和一天中在学习上所花费的时间之间的关系。从图表中我们可以看到更多的学习时间不一定会产生更好或更高的学习效率。在图表中，当一个人学习差不多5个小时的时候，将产生效率的最佳值，当学习超过这个时间的时候，效率开始下降。当一个人每天学习达到11个小时，他的学习效率会变得非常低。
In conclusion, there is always a maximum of efficiency and an appropriate amount of time forstudy in a day. More time spent in study doesn't always mean greater efficiency.(137 worrds)

If There Were No Advertisements
Nowadays, advertisements can be found everywhere in a big ci ty such as Shanghai. They shout atus from the television sc reen and radio loudspeakers, wave to us from every page of thenewspaper, signal to us from the roadside bi llboards a ll day and flash messages to us in coloredlights all night. 现如今，在诸如上海等大城市，广告随处可见。它们通过电视屏幕和广播的扬声器向我们叫喊，在报纸的每一页冲我们招手，从路边广告牌上整天向我们发送信号，还有整夜的彩灯闪动的信息。
Faced with a flood of advertisement, some people wonder whet her it is necessary to have suchhuge sums spent on advertis ing. They often cite in illustration of it the attractive, but false anddeceptive advertisements to which many consumers fall victim. They suggest that sinceadvertising is an entir ely unproductive industry and may even harm the customers' i nterests, whydon't we stop advertising and use the money to reduce the price of goods? It sounds like a goodidea, but they fail to notice the contribution advertising makes to
our society. Because theproduction of a better product to co mpete for customers' money is the goal of advertisers, custo mers are thus given a chance to compare their products and get the best and cheapest one.Besides, as the advertisement can provide people with a lot of immediate and detailed i nformationas to the availability of a certain product, or a service or a job, it makes life much more convenient.And anotber thing we mustn't forget: the fact that we pay so l ittle for our daily newspapers and TVprograms is due entirel y to the money spent by advertisers.
面对广告大潮，有些人想知道，我们是否有必要在广告上花费如此之多。他们常引用那些吸引人、但虚假和欺骗的广告做例子，许多消费者成为这些广告的受害者。他们表示，既然广告是个完全非生产性的行业，而且甚至会危害到消费者的利益，我们为何不停止做广告，用这些钱来降低商品价格呢? 这听起来是个好主意，但是他们没有注意到广告对我们的社会所做的贡献。由于生产好的产品来争夺消费者的钱是刊登广告者的目标，所以消费者有机会去对比他们的产品，并选择最物美价廉的。另外，由于广告能给人们提供许多关于某种产品、服务或工作的可利用性的快速而具体的信息，它使生活更加便捷。另一件我们不应该忘记的事情是:我们在每天的报纸和电视节目上花费的很少，这完全是因为刊登广告的人花了很多钱。
Advertising performs such a useful service to our society th at we can't imagine what would happenifthere were no adverti sements. (262 words)
广告为我们的社会提供了如此有用的服务，因此我们不能想象如果没有了广告，会发生什么。
