For high school leavers starting out in the working world，it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview．In some countries，schools have programs to help students onto the path to work．In the Unites States，however，such programs are still few and far between．
Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses，students are likely to get higher earnings in later years．The students are more likely to stay in school，graduate and go on to higher education．
In Germany，students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships．German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment．
But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world．Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track．Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills．
Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high sch001．James Madison High School in New York，for example，encourages students to choose classes on career—based courses．The school then helps them gain on—the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school． However，even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work，the job market is ．In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row．
“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the Summer job experience，they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job，”said Michael，a researcher in the US. 1．In the author’s opinion．American high school leavers__________.
A．have enough career-related courses B．need more career advice from their schools C．perform better in exams than German students D．can get higher earnings in later years 2．According to Robert Schwartz，_________．

How many times have you got upset because someone wasn't doing his job，because your child isn't behaving？How many times have you been irritated (恼怒的) when you've planned something carefully and things didn't go as you'd hoped?
This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us—it’s part of the human experiences.
One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie，or cut me off in traffic. Actually，I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all？And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.
See，the cause of our stress，anger and irritation is that things don't go the way we like，the way we expect them to. Think of how many times this has been true for you. And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong，expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.
One quick example：on our recent trip to Japan，I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do on a trip. I told them，“See it as part of the adventure.”
And this worked like a charm. When we inevitably (不可避免地) took the wrong train on a foreign-language subway system，or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea，or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays...they said，“It's part of the adventure！” And it was all OK—we didn't get too bothered. So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day，you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken，from the day you get it. You know it'll break some day, so from the beginning，see it as already broken. Be a time-traveler，or someone with time-traveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks，you won't be upset or sad—because it was already broken，from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.
