译文
每年秋季，当招聘新的毕业生的工作开始时，日本的各大城市都挤满了寻找工作的学生。他们第一次穿着正装，从一个面试地点赶到另一个面试地点。这个季节对许多学生来说是很重要的，因为他们的整个人生可能就在这个时期被决定了。
日本的终生职业
在日本，大公司里的工作经常是终生的。尽管在小公司和为转包商工作的人一般不能享受到大公司的优厚待遇，雇员们通常都期待工作或多或少有稳定性。
工资结构
工资的多少是由你的受教育程度和原先的就业领域决定的，例如普通毕业生做行政工作，工程师搞工程技术和设计等。提升和加薪都与资历紧密相关，尽管由于个人能力和工作业绩不同，之后也会有所不同。工资每个月付一次，税后工资通常是直接打入一个银行帐户。此外，奖金一年发两次。
女性与日本公司
许多女毕业生抱怨与男生相比她们没有得到平等的训练和机会。日本公司通常都认为女性员工终究会结婚生子。女性中也的确存在着生孩子是最重要的事这种思想，但是工作就需要加班，这也使女性在婚后无法工作。
外企的招聘策略
对现状失望而有事业心的女性往往选择到外企工作。由于大多数男生倾向于到有保障的公司工作，外企经常愿意雇佣女生，因为她们的潜力比男生更大。
男性为什么有时候会从公司辞职
尽管前途似锦，有些男性还是会从公司辞职。一个原因就是接管家族生意。当父母退休时，长子通常会接管家族公司或生意，例如店铺。所以，一个商人在继承父母生意时完全改变他的职业方向，例如成为了一个店主，这是很常见的。
工作中的人际关系会比较密切，因为他们共同工作的时间和年份都很长。实际上，一个人的社交经常是基于工作上的关系。饭店和酒家晚上总是挤满了与同事一起欢聚的人们。许多公司为职员组织旅游和体育活动。年长的职员经常扮演导师的角色。这意味着他们会对年轻员工的生活给予指导，例如结婚和孩子的教育。
Part C
46.在这一意义上，财富并不是钱财，因为我们的生存并不依赖于钱而是依赖于钱所能购买的东西：诸如食品、衣服的物品和诸如交通、娱乐的服务。
47.世界上有些地区蕴藏着丰富的煤炭和矿产资源，有肥沃的土地和宜人的气候；而其他一些地区却一无所有。
48.有些国家自然资源可能很丰富，但却多年以来饱受内外战的困扰，并且因为这个或那个的原因不能发展本国资源。
49.一个国家的生活水准，不仅取决于它在本国内生产和消费的财富，还取决于它通过国际贸易间接生产的财富。
50.因此，一个国家的财富在很大程度上受到它的生产能力的影响，如果有其他国家愿意接受它的产品的话。

Dear Sir/Madam，
One month ago， I bought a new color TV set made in Guangdong from your store at the recommendation of your salesman. But now I'm afraid I have to complain of its poor quality. First， the picture does not appear clear at all. Second， come channel buttons do not work well. What's more， sometimes there is even no sound and the color is not stable. So， you see， instead of getting enjoyment， we've got trouble and inconveniences from this TV set.
I am a constant customer of your store and appreciate your slogan “Customer First， Service Best” very much. I really wish what has happened was accidental and I want to have this set repaired or changed. If not， I'd rather have my money back.
I'm looking forward to an early and satisfactory reply from you.
Yours sincerely，
Li Ming

As is vividly demonstrated in the drawing above， facing so many major options， a student is at a complete loss what to do， which is a most typical phenomenon among students. The meaning conveyed in the drawing is most thought-provoking.
The implied meaning of the drawing above can be briefly stated as follows. To begin with， the over-emphasis of importance of majors by students should not be ignored. Some students reckon that their majors will decide the success or failure of their whole lives. Because of their dissatisfaction with their majors， some students lose their interest in study. And some of them even go to extreme and commit suicide. It is our top priority to reverse the grim situation. What's more， in terms of making major choices， to follow suit must be avoided. As we know， different people are needed to play different roles in our social work. It is out of the question that all the people pick up the same major and do the same work. Personal character， interest， and merit must be fully evaluated and seriously considered when students make their final decision on their majors. In sum， students must keep calm and have an objective attitude toward their majors.
Take myself as an example. I am from a small mountainous village from the West. The ambition has already taken roots in my mind that I will make use of my knowledge to help the farmers in my home-village shake off poverty. And I took an interest in plants when I was a child. All things considered， I chose agronomy as my major. I do reckon that I have a bright prospect if I stick to the major I choose.
