The Pleasures and Pains of Childhood（1-童年的快乐和痛苦--范文不太好）Childhood is time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything is return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child--things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-know. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure.But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are: he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.How to Behave in an Interview(2-如何应付面试)In order to make a good impression during a job interview, you need to prepare yourself for it.

They are flocking there to avoid people--in the city, wherever you look, it is people, people, people.It's not strange for them to complain about the living conditions in the city. It takes ages for a bus to get to you because the traffic on the roads has virtually come to a standstill. The subways which leave or arrive every few minutes are packed: an endless procession of human sardine tins. All the simple, good thinks of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium. Tall buildings block out the sum. The flow of traffic goes on continuously and the noise never stops.Decades of years ago, people ware crazy about crowding into the city. Now more and more people believe that only a madman would choose to live in a large modern city.Career Hopping(8-跳槽)Today, growing numbers of men and women are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater appeal to them. Many of those who find that their work is unsatisfactory retrain themselves for a different occupation.Job changes and careers shifts occur at all ages. It is estimated that as many as one out of four male workers between the ages of twenty and twenty-five change their lines of work. About half that number do so between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four. Some married women combine child-rearing responsibilities with new career lines.Motives for changing careers vary widely, but many people move because they feel bored with the dull routine. For some, a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do what they enjoy. Most go back to school to get the training they need to make the shifts.The Young and the Old（9）When the young man starts to earn his own living，he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food，his clothes，and his room，but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child，he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents，he may go to prison。
