　　Losing a job is indeed very depressing. A sudden break  to the regular monthly income can actually disrupt the life in a very bad way. However, nothing is permanent in life and you can do some things to deal with your unemployment。

　　First of all, don’t panic. Things do happen and they’ll continue to happen unexpectedly. Don’t get extremely discouraged and then land into depression. Believe in yourself and stay calm. Believe this is a temporary phase which is going to get over soon and thus there is no need to worry so much. 

　　Once your mind is calm, try to analyze your situation. Why were you unemployed? Were you really able to do that job? Did you ever like it? Were you financially satisfied? Try to find answers to these questions. If you feel the job wasn’t of your choice, be happy! You no longer need to work there now. Soon, you’ll be finding a new job which will be of your interest。

　　Once you know the job is no longer yours, don’t complain. Think of other ways to earn money. Keep yourself very active. Call the people who can help you out or can guide you properly. Update your resume and practise interviewing skills. Look out for vacancies(空缺) in the newspaper and on the Internet daily and give as many interviews as you can. 

　　After you’ve analyzed the alternatives, try to improve on your weak areas. If you feel you lack somewhere when it comes to communication, attend some lectures on the subject. If you need some technical training in your field, go ahead and complete a course that will improve your technical skills. Also, socialize with people and make your social life rich. 

　　Lastly, try to promote your spirits and be happy. Don’t be nervous because things will surely fall into the right place!

　　Section B (10’)

　　Directions: Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.Write your answers on your answer sheet。

　　According to a new study, preschool boys perform better on tests that measure learning and other important skills when they are in classes that have more girls than boys. This doesn’t seem to apply to girls, though. For preschool girls, the presence or absence of boys does not affect learning。

　　“The study raises questions about having all-boy or all-girl classes for preschool”， says psychologist Arlen Moller, who led the study. She added, “Previous researches have shown that high-school girls may study better in all-girl schools. In middle school, however, the effects of same-sex schooling are unclear, and even less is known for very young kids。” To find out, researchers studied 70 preschool classes with a total of 806 children who were between 3.5 and 6 years old. For each class, teachers recorded the students’ progress over a 6.5-month school year. 

　　Their data included scores of motor skills, social skills and thinking skills. Researchers found that boys developed each of these skills more quickly when there were more girls in the class than boys。

　　In majority-girl classrooms, boys developed at the same rate as girls. But in classes where boys were the majority, boys developed more slowly than girls. Girls tended to advance in classrooms which had any combination of boys and girls。

　　The study is one of the first to look at how the proportion of boys and girls in a class affects learning. Because it’s a new finding, researchers don’t know why this difference exists。

　　“This is an exciting topic, but it’s too early to draw any conclusion because this area is so under-explored，” says psychologist Lean Malofeeva of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan。
