Job stress hits students
As the job－hunting season kicks off, many graduates are suffering from anxiety. Job interview results are becoming the most common conversation topic in dormitories. Worried about not getting satisfactory offers, some students have sleep problems, or lose their appetite. Some might even display symptoms of depression.
According to a survey across several universities in Wuhan conducted by Wuhan Yangtze Business University, over 72 percent of student participants were worried about finding a job. Students in the first one or two years were also uneasy about their job prospects, which contributed to spreading anxiety further.
Lang Lei, 22, a business major from Renmin University in Beijing, admitted having mood swings when job hunting. The student hoped to get positions with large state－owned enterprises in his hometown of Yantai, Shandong. But when it turned out that things wouldn't be so easy, Lang became concerned. After some struggling moments, he has now changed to more realistic goals.
Others feel tortured(受折磨) while waiting for interview results. Mo Tong, a senior software engineering major at South China Normal University, would fall into a nervous state every time after he attended a job interview.
“For a day or two I couldn't help but keep thinking about how I performed in front of the interviewers, how well I dealt with their questions, and whether they would consider giving me a chance in the end，” Mo was unable to focus on other things as his anxiety grew.
Media reports about rising unemployment rates and a difficult job market have touched students' nerves.
“I'm alarmed by articles saying how bachelor's degree holders are losing ground，” said Wang Hongjuan, a sophomore English major from Putian University in Fujian province. “It suggests to me that good jobs are only available to graduate or doctoral students.”
As Wang has no plans to further her education, she has to commit herself to all sorts of extracurricular activities to improve her prospects. This throws her into a packed schedule.
Wen Fang, a well－known education psychology expert and consultant in Beijing, advises students not to be misled by depressing surveys and reports about the job market. “Unemployment rates are not linked to an individual's chances of getting a job，” he said. “An individual's chances are actually mainly determined by his or her capability.”
According to Wen, a moderate degree of anxiety is normal—it can even be helpful. But if it constantly affects a student's normal life, one should pay more attention. “Focus on adapting yourself to the needs of society, and never ever overestimate your goals，” Wen added.

27、【简答题】
阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150字左右的英语短文。
Recently the reporters of CCTV 11 made a random survey in some big cities in China among the pedestrians about the correct spelling of some most commonly used Chinese characters, the result of which was completely beyond their expectation.
The expression they used was “embarrass”， which is pronounced in Chinese “gan ga” and also a bit difficult to write. First they asked eight students from grade 4 to 6 in a famous primary school in Beijing, but only two of them could write them correctly. Later they came to a secondary school and asked eight students to do the same thing, and this time the result was a bit better, three of whom wrote the two characters correctly. What's more surprising was that they asked five persons who had got doctor's degrees to write the same characters, but only two of them could write them correctly. The result was really terrific. Is it too difficult? Absolutely not! All the surveyors held the view that they almost did all the writing on computers in their daily life instead of writing them by hand. As a matter of fact, nowadays the ability of writing Chinese characters and handwriting in our daily life is decreasing sharply, which has aroused great attention of experts and authorities of education department on the use and development of our mother tongue.

参考范文
The survey indicates that the ability of writing Chinese characters is decreasing sharply in recent years among young generations because of too much dependence on computers.
The fact that our ability of writing Chinese characters and Chinese handwriting is getting poorer and poorer is beyond doubt now. The reasons may be that computers have become one part of our daily life and we can nearly do everything on it without handwriting. Students nowadays needn’t take their pens to write letters, do calculating or even write compositions.
However, we can’t neglect the fact that the inability of writing Chinese characters and poor handwriting can cause embarrassment or even trouble in our life. Once a professor was giving a lecture to the students, he wrote his main points on the blackboard, of which three Chinese characters were wrongly written. One of the students pointed them out and it really embarrassed the professor.
As middle school students, we have got the responsibility to develop our mother tongue. So we should write more instead of relying too much on computers. We also suggest that the whole society pay more attention to the development of our mother tongue; otherwise it will be too late to do anything about it by then.
