         US government date reveals that up to 44% of the US workforce is single-and it may be because of
    work. Here are four reasons why your job might be keeping you single and what to do about it.
         1. "I don't have time to date." Many people who are single say their jobs don't leave them with
    enough time to meet Mr. or Mrs. Right. You may have made a conscious decision to make career
    your No.1 priority(优先). Or it may be that pursuing your dream job is easier than pursuing your dream
    partner. Whatever the reason, spending too much of your time and energy on your career will cause your
    dating life to flounder(折磨).
         2. "My boss knows I'm single and singles me out." Singles are often expected to work late,
    travel for business, and take on last minute assignments because they don't have "family commitments
    (义务)". For example, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell stated last year that the choice of Janet
    Napolitano as Homeland Security Secretary was an excellent one because she has "no family and no
    life" and could devote 19-20 hours a day to the job.
         3. "Everyone I know is taken/ married/coupled up." While this may not seem to be a job related
    issue, it could be. Statistics show that nearly half of all married couples met at work. So you're at a
    disadvantage if your work doesn't provide you with opportunities to meet and hang out with other singles.
          4."No one wants to date a …" unfortunately, some jobs come with certain stereotypes (陈词滥
    调) that can make an expected date a complete failure. For example, being a lawyer or doctor could
    make you an unwelcome person because nobody's idea of a good date is to argue or be psychoanalyzed(用精神分析疗法治疗分析)!
    1.Which of the following is NOT a reason why 44% of the US workforce is single?
    A. Singles are often given more work.
    B. Some jobs seem to prevent one from dating successfully.
    C. They are too busy with their work.
    D. Many people don't know how to make themselves look attractive.
    2."Mr. or Mrs. Right" in the second paragraph means_________.
    A. an ideal husband or wife
    B. a certain Mr. or Mrs. Right
    C. a reliable person
    D. one's colleague
    3. If your friend is single due to the second reason, what do you say to him/her?
    A. Make dating your work.
    B. Tell your boss that you already have plans.
    C. Create your own dating pool.
    D. Be yourself, not your job.

    policy, more and more Chinese parents are taking their considerable wealth and investing it in that one
    child getting an Amercian college education," she said. "There's a book getting huge play in China right
    now explaining liberal arts (人文) education." The book, A Ture Liberal Arts Education, by three
    Chinese undergraduates in American universities, describes the education available at small liberal arts
    colleges and the concept of liberal arts, both relatively unknown in China.
         " There's growing disposable (支配) income in China, and not enough good universities to meet the
    demand, "Leventhal at the University of Cincinnati said. "And in China, especially, studying in the United
    States makes a great difference, because when students get home, they speaking English. "
         Although the report tracks only the 2008-09 mumbers, a smaller survey by the institute last month
    found that over all, the increase in international students seems to be continuing, with China remaining
    strong. Of all the unversities surveyed this fall, 60 percent reported an increase in Chinese college
    students, and only 11 percent a decline.
    1. The year before last, China sent about           international students aborad.

    A. undergraduates
