     When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛腳),
and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare and I would be
ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.
     It was difficult to walk together-and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we
started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to follow you."
     Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work even in
bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was
a matter of pride for him.
     When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help...Such times
my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N. Y., on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance.
Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept
ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to
go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
     When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer
from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it-without bitterness or complaint.
     He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.
     Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't
know exactly what a "good heart" is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.
     He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to
be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I
was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I com- plain about my troubles, when I am envious of another's
good for-tune, when I don't have a "good heart".
1. How did the man treat his father when he was young?
A. He helped his father happily.
B. He never helped his father.
C. He helped his father, but not very happily.
D. He only helped his father take a walk after supper.
2. As a disabled man, his father ____. 
A. didn't work very hard
B. didn't go to work from time to time
C. hated those who had good fortune
D. was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope
3.What does the underlined word "reluctance" mean in the article? It means ____.
A. anger
B. sadness
C. happiness
D. unwillingness
4. How did the father get to work usually?
A. By subway.
B. By bus.
C. By wheelchair.
D. By bike.

Bicycle Safety
Operation  Always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus(校園). Obey rules and

Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack---even if you are only away for
a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It's fast, easy, and free.
Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike
stolen.
Equipment
              
Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.
              
Helmet A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fit
properly.
                
Lights Always have a front headlight---visible at least 500 feet in front of the
bike. A taillight is a good idea.

not for bicycle parking, and parking in such posts can result in a fine.

     Nearly 28% of college Students plan to seek employment using Linkedin, up from 5% last year,
according to a survey out today from employee recognition provider i Love Rewards and career-services network Experience.Slightly more than 7% plan to use Facebook, up from 5%.
     No longer do students just wait for visiting campus recruiters to learn about job possibilities. Instead
they're using digital tools to find their dream jobs, says I Love Rewards CEO Razor Suleman.Companies
need to know their online image, then update anything that is outdated, inaccurate or not inleractive (互動的).
'The recruited have now become the recruiters," Suleman says."They are now going out and finding the
companies they want to apply for."
Students learn about employers by viewing their websites, reading Facehook and Twitter updates and
perusing ( 精讀) Linkedln profiles.Another information source: Comments by past and current employees on job-oriented websites.
    A strong digital presence is one way for employers to stand out as the search for the best and brightest
gets competitive.
     Slightly more than four in 10 employers say they will use "different" recruiting tactics (策略) to reach
Generation Y, according to a survey by job-search site Monster.com to be released today.Of those
respondents, almost 60% say social-networking sites are popular tools to reach Gen Y candidates.
     "Our reason for using social media is because that's where we think the candidates are," he says.
     The company posts updates and videos on topics such as job opportunities and the benefits of being
an employee.It also created a mobile-friendly site for those who want to apply via smart phone.
     "Younger people want to attach to you in a different way than the past," Lavery says."They want to
interact with you.They want to learn about you."
     The updated recruitment techniques take effort, but they work, he says.
     In 2010, UPS used those tactics to recruit 955 employees.The year before, it hired 29 employees
through those means.
     "It's a time investment(投資)that you have to be willing to do," he says."You can't just have a page up
there and not have content.In social media, you have to have a give and a take, or people won't be a part of your community."
1. In order to find their dream jobs, more American graduates like to use ____.
A. newspapers  
B. magazines  
C. the Internet  
D. radios
2. Why do many companies use social-networking sites to recruit graduates?
A. Because they have no other way to get in touch with graduates.
B. Because graduates tend to learn about employers through social media.
C. Because companies want to post advertisements for their products.
D. Because companies like to post videos and updates about their products.
3.The underlined word "recruit" in Paragraph 11 probably means ____.
A. fire    
B. attract  
C. contact    
D. employ
4. From what Lavery says, we can conclude that ____.
A. it is very easy for a company to hire graduates through social media
B. a company has to make great efforts to find the best graduates
C. a company doesn't have to update the information about it
D. graduates are afraid to communicate with the boss of the company
