14．Before you accept quickly and gladly the first job offer that comes your way after college，consider this：your first job will probably be the most important decision you will ever make in your career．
The people you meet are often more important than your paycheck．Making your managers'job easier is a good way to earn their favor，but they shouldn't be your only supporters．The people sitting next to you may be your boss someday or，even better，they may know someone who might want to hire you in a field you actually want to work in．Those office allies are also important sources of inside information．When you are ready to negotiate your next pay raise or promotion，you will want to lean on co-workers who have been in your shoes and may have insights on salary expectations you should be asking for．
Your first job will make you better for your second，third and fourth jobs．Your first job is the final opportunity to take chances，make mistakes，ask stupid questions and still come out smelling like roses．But while you're trying things out，be conscious about what you have learned and how you can apply it later．Even if you haven't landed a job in your desired industry，you should be able to come up with a list of at least three to five valuable skills you've picked up that will impress a future employer．Hiring managers are much more forgiving of those who had to do some job-hopping （跳槽）to get to where they wanted to be-in this economy，who could blame you？-but they're still going to want to know that you can get the job done．
Negotiating your salary early in your career can improve your lifetime earnings．Your first job can be a great testing ground for your negotiation skills．Trust me that no hiring manager will dock you for having the confidence to ask for the salary you believe you deserve so long as you do it right．

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關句，（1）排除與原文相關句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關句態(tài)度相反的選項 （3）排除用于過于極端或負面的選項（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．
