As society advances and basic needs are most often being met, things that were not considered important in the past have taken priority(優(yōu)先). In the past, people could easily get a job and progress pretty well, as long as they were hard-working; education was important but not as crucial(關(guān)系重大) as it is today.
Nowadays, just as clothes are important to first impressions, degree is important to a person’s first job interview or even a job with a good salary. Although experience is important to survive in any trade or profession, the first thing that companies look for is that piece of paper before looking at one’s experience.
A passport into the world of any profession is what having a degree means today, especially for professions that have need of certification and pay well, such as architects, doctors, lawyers, and teachers.
That piece of paper, the degree, is also a passport to jobs in top or middle management in any company, especially so for multi-national corporations(跨國公司). Having a degree opens up opportunities that one would not have had if one did not have any kind of degree. A degree simply proves that one has gone through the necessary training and understanding of how to carry out a job.
Although there are many that may say having a degree may not necessarily equal to success, it would most definitely help any person achieve success in shorter and easier steps. Success cannot simply be a result of hard work and/or depending on one’s experience or degree alone; it is the art and knowledge of how to work that determines one’s success. Therefore, it should not be for the sake to get a degree, but the quality of the degree and experiences that one can learn from that matter as well.
【小題1】 What would be the best title for this passage?

A．People used to be hard-working
B．How important is the degree?　　
C．How can we enter the top management?
D．Degree surely leads to success
【小題2】Why does the author mention clothes in the second paragraph?
A．To prove the importance of the first impression.
B．To stress the importance of job interviews.　　
C．To show the importance of clothes.
D．To explain the importance of degree.
【小題3】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Having a degree
B．Success
C．Necessary training
D．Having an opportunity

When TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes－the TV cameramen－h(huán)ave no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.
Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (貪得無厭的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies—such as Reuters and WTN－h(huán)ave never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV cameramen.
These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.
TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.
By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.
【小題1】TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to           .

A．save expense and avoid risks
B．get free and useful pictures
C．get first-hand information and pictures
D．satisfy the greed of the freelance cameramen
【小題2】We can infer from the passage that the freelance cameramen             .
A．have to take a lot of risks in the course of work
B．a(chǎn)re tied to many TV news agencies
C．have better skills than other cameramen
D．need to contract out risks of work for TV companies
【小題3】According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies            .
A. have employed enough cameramen
B. are not willing to employ many cameramen
C. are very mean to freelancers
C. are responsible for the freelancer if he is injured
【小題4】The author of this passage shows his           the freelance cameramen.
A．sympathy toB．respect forC．a(chǎn)nger toD．a(chǎn)dmiration to

My mother through her fine example instilled(慢慢灌輸) within me the desire to help others. She taught me to notice those whom others ignore.

The railroad tracks were within a mile of our house. Beggars frequently would knock at the doors in our neighborhood in summer asking for food. They were often turned away. Others simply ignored the knocks.

My mum always went to the door smiling. She would invite them to stay and have something to eat. She would have me open up the card table and carry a chair out onto the covered side porch(走廊). There was a nice view into the flower gardens, and it was cool even on the hottest days.

She would bring a red and white tablecloth and set the table as carefully as she did for any company. She would pour their coffee and pile their plates with food and dessert. Usually she sent a packed lunch with them when they were ready to go, too. Sometimes she would take the newspapers to those who asked about work.

She listened to those who wanted to talk. She never asked what would lead them to be in this difficult situation. It did not matter. She saw only the need. Some thought she did too much for them. She would say, “In the depression(蕭條時期) when my father was searching around for any work to feed us, thoughtful people fed him. I am just repaying their kindness. I cannot offer them money, but I can see they do not leave hungry and discouraged,” My mum was quite a lady.

He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual.

Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes?

In a study conducted by Levi Strauss Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（士氣）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative effect on productivity.
