But I have my fathers insistent voice in my head: the story is now, so you write it now. No one wants to read last weeks news.My father Michael was a jou

10、rnalist. He started at age 16 on his local paper, the Luton News, and after nine years there, he went on to a six-decade career that saw him write more than 40 biographies of Hollywood stars and spend a quarter-century presenting a weekly radio show.From him I learned about deadlines and accuracy, a

11、nd absorbed his rule about professional clothing, one he had been taught by his first boss. Even when he was working at home, my father would follow that rule: shirt and tie, every day.There were other less obvious lessons. The first is about being manly. Driven and competitive, he wasnt present for

12、 the birth of any of his three children, but he was the very model of being loving and faithful. In a pub, he might manage some drinks, but his main focus would usually be the food menu. He was a model of a different kind of maleness.But perhaps the biggest lesson I learned from him was about resili

13、ence (恢復(fù)). He got deep blows, losing both his wife and firstborn child, my sister Fiona, within two years of each other. And yet, somehow, he got back up again. He taught himself to cook and continued to dress neatly, picking out a bright jacket that ensured he stood out in a room. He would meet edi

Younger colleagues keep using the same word about him: appealing.I hope I learned his resilience, the way I learned about being a journalist.

19、okies after you pay the bill. Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. Its rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “l(fā)ucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that

20、the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of hi

21、s early life in America.There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookies invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and home

22、less. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in

23、place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day an evidence to the modern

24、-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being “too American.”So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember

25、that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.28What do we know about fortune cookies?AThey are as popular in China as in America.BThey contain slips of paper with good wishes.CThey first appeared in America during WWII.DThey are often charged to the customer

28、hool leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practise how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(實習(xí)). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs

29、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

30、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 scho

In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to-l9-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,
