It’s common knowledge that today’s workplace is more volatile (易变的) than it once was. One has to know how to make the necessary changes to compete in this new, high-tech world.
The Career Coach offers experienced advice and strategies that people are increasingly turning to professional career advisers to get.
Written by Gordon Miller, the book is aimed at job seekers, people reentering the workforce and those farther along their career paths.
It gives advice on how to search for a job or change jobs (or industries) successfully in today’s job market. You’ll learn how to conduct a good interview, and how to free yourself from the constraints of the traditional resume.
It also has advice on how to become a good performer at the job you currently have, and the right way and time to ask for a raise or a promotion.
There are strategies for improving job performance within a company and how to shape your career to secure a future in an ever-changing economy.
The book is filled with countless stories about people who, with a little coaching, were able to steer their careers in a new direction: a mediocre salesman turns into an excellent performer by learning to use his time more wisely; a recent college graduate wins a key position in a high-tech company etc.

The book gives advice on( )

A:how to deal with the daily problems in your career B:how to successfully change career or search for a job C:how to be able to get useful career information D:how to withdraw from this ever changing high-tech world

Only in this way ______ the plan successfully.

A:we can carry out B:we can agree on C:can we agree on D:can we carry out

Please Fasten Your Seatbelts

Severe turbulence (湍流) can kill aircraft passengers. Now, in test flights over the Rocky Mountains, NASA.(美国航空航天局) engineers have successfully detected clear-air turbulence up to 10 seconds before an aircraft hits it.
Clear-air turbulence often catches pilots by surprise. Invisible to radar, it is difficult to forecast and can hurl (用力抛出去) passengers about the cabin. In December 1997, one passenger died and a hundred others were injured when unexpected rough air caused a United Airlines flight over the Pacific to drop 300 metres in a few seconds.
However, passengers can avoid serious injury by fastening their seatbelts. "It is the only antidote (对策) for this sort of thing," says Rod Bogue, project manager at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.
The centre’s new turbulence detector is based on lidar, or laser radar. Laser pulses are sent ahead of the plane and these are then reflected back by particles in the air. The technique depends on the Doppler effect. The wavelength of the light shifts according to the speed at which the particles are approaching. In calm air, the speed equals the plane’s airspeed. But as the particles swirl (打漩) in rough air, their speed of approach increases or decreases rapidly. The rate of change in speed corresponds to the severity (激烈程度) of the turbulence.
In a series of tests that began last month, a research jet flew repeatedly into disturbed air over the mountain ridges (山脉) near Pueblo, Colorado. The lidar detector spotted turbulence between 3 and 8 kilometres ahead, and its forecasts of strength and duration corresponded closely with the turbulence that the plane encountered.
Bogue says that he had "a comfortable amount of time" to fasten his seatbelt. The researchers are planning to improve the lidar’s range with a more powerful beam. The system could be installed on commercial aircraft in the next few years.
We can infer from the fifth paragraph that

A:the lidar detector can successfully forecast turbulence. B:researchers are not sure about the effectiveness of the lidar detector. C:passenger planes will be used in further experiments. D:no more test flights are needed.

Every year millions of women are screened with X - rays to pick up signs of breast cancer. If this happens early enough, the disease can often be treated successfully. According to a survey published last year, 21 countries have screening programmes. Nine of them, including Australia, Canada, the US and Spain, screen women under 50.
But the medical benefits of screening these younger women are controversial, partly because the radiation brings a small risk of inducing cancer. Also, younger women must be given higher doses of X -rays because their breast tissues is denser.
What will happen if breast cancer is diagnosed early enough

A:It will be treated successfully. B:It will still develop to be fatal. C:It will recover without medical treatment. D:it will not recover even with medical treatment.

They have accomplished their mission successfully.

A:realized B:designed C:completed D:arranged
