【真题演练4】 （2004专升本）
Yang Cai is now in his sixth job after graduation. He is a computer programmer in a German
company in Nanchang.
The job also marks the latest of several moves he has made in the last four years. In that period, he
has worked in several cities including Nanjing, Wuhan, and now Nanchang.

His first job, also his longest, was for a State-owned enterprise producing communication products
and lasted one year. his last job, also his shortest, was in designing web pages and lasted three months.
“I am not the most frequent changer of jobs in this industry,” Yang said. “working in IT (information
technology) companies, I have become accustomed to welcoming new colleagues today and to seeing

them off the next month.”
“ I have always been in a turbulent (动荡的) situation, and no job gives me a feeling of stability,”
In sharp contrast with Yang, Wendy, a lawyer in the Nanchang branch of a Beijing based big law firm,
dared not ask for a half a day’s leave to go hospital when she was suffering from a serious cold and

cough.
“The boss warns us to work 24 hours a day and you would be mad to ask for leave for illness.” said
Wendy. So she would work until midnight and give herself medicine she bought to work.
“It’s not easy to get a suitable position nowadays. The boss can easily replace you with someone

from the lines of applicants waiting outside the door for your position.” She said.
