Not so long ago almost any students who successfully completed a university degree or
diploma course could find a good career quite easily. Companies toured the academic
institutions, competing with each other to recruit graduates. However, those days are gone, even
in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.
Most careers organization highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of
securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available vacancies and
presenting them well to prospective employers
 Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of
assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within
their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the
relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring or
others. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative or scientific
skills acquired from work experience should also be give careful thought
The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think
about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. To do this,
graduates can study job vacancies and information in newspapers or the can visit a career office,
write to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be
involved in a particular profession. After studying all various options, they should be in a
position to make informed comparisons between various careers
Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application
forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or
spelling errors. Where additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their
abilities and work experience in more depth, with example if possible. They should try to
balance their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a career
with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the
company and its activities
When graduates are asked to attend for the interview, they should prepare properly by
finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the
interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and
helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about.

Social parasitism involves one species relying on another to raise its young. Among
vertebrates, the best known social parasites are such birds as cuckoos and cowbirds; the female
lays egg in a nest belonging to another species and leaves it for the host to rear
The dulotic species of ants, however, are the supreme social parasites. Consider, for
example, the unusual behavior of ants belonging to the genus Polyergus. All species of this ant
have lost the ability to care for themselves. The workers do not forage for food, feed their brood
or queen, or even clean their own nest. To compensate for these deficits, Polyergus has become
specialized at obtaining workers from the related genus Formica to do these chores
In a raid, several thousand Polyergus workers will travel up to 500 feet in search of a
Formica nest, penetrate it, drive off the queen and her workers, capture the pupal brood, and
transport it back to their nest. The captured brood is then reared by the resident Formica workers
until the developing pupae emerge to add to the Formica population, which maintains the
mixed-species nest. The Formica workers forage for food and give it to colony members of both
species. They also remove wastes and excavate new chambers as the population increases
The true extent of the Polyergus and dependence on the Formica becomes apparent when
the worker population grows too large for existing nest. Formica scouts locate a new nesting
site, return to the mixed-species colony, and recruit additional Formica nest mates. During a
period that may last seven days, the Formica workers carry to the new nest all the Polyergus
eggs, larvae, and pupae, every Polyergus adult, and even the Polyergus queen
Of the approximately 8000 species of ants in the world, all 5 species of Polyergus and
some 200 species in other genera have evolved some degree of parasitic relationship with other
ants
Question 34: Which of the following statements best represents the main idea of the
passage?
A. Ants belonging to the genus Formica are incapable of performing certain tasks
B. The genus Polyergus is quite similar to the genus Formica
C. Ants belonging to the genus Polyergus have an unusual relationship with ants
belonging to the genus Formica
D. Polyergus ants frequently leave their nests to build new colonies

A. rear B. lift C. collect D. increase

A. share their nests with each other B. are closely related species

 Question 37: The word “it” refers to ______
A. species B. nest C. egg D. female

however, are the supreme social parasites”
A. The Polyergus are more highly developed than the Formica
B. The Formica have developed specialized roles
