The programmer leans over to the engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and ro
15、lls over to the window to catch a few winks. The programmer persists and explains that the game is really easy and has a lot of fun. He explains, “I ask you a question, and if you dont know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I dont know the answer, Ill pay you $5.” Again,
16、the engineer politely refuses and tries to get to sleep. The programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, “OK, if you dont know the answer you pay me $5, and if I dont know the answer, Ill pay you $50!” This catches the engineers attention, and he sees no end to this torment(折磨) unless he plays, so he a
17、grees to the game. The programmer asks the first question. “Whats the distance from the earth to the moon?” The engineer doesnt say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the programmer. Now, its the engineers turn. He asks the programmer, “What goes up a h
18、ill with three legs, and comes down on four?” The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. The engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back t
19、o sleep. The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks, “Well, so whats the answer?” Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away and goes back to sleep.36.

Nobody knows the answer to the engineers question. BRecently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, a
23、nd what kind of job prospects they thought they had. Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me t
24、hat they would need a relative or family friend to help them out. “Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she
25、was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would put
26、myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in real
27、ity. No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement
28、, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career. 41. We can know from the passage that the author works as _. A. a doctor B. a model C. a teacher D. a reporter42. Many graduates
29、today turn to cosmetic surgery to _. A. marry a better manwoman B. become a modelC. get an advantage over others in job-hunt D. attract more admirers43. According to the passage, the author believes that _. A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. its right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for job
