　　Passage One

　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　News isn’t good: Unemployed than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. That’s bad for the economy. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or h careers right now. But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you

Even in June of economy was still moving ahead, job growth was only 132,000, while turnover was

　　And as it turns out, even today—with job growth near zero—over 4 million being hired every month.

And it’s true that there are currently more people applying able job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.

　　But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t it’s the motivated. They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills about where and how to look; learn how to present themselves to potential employees going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t looked within the last four no longer even classified as unemployed.

　　So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired the U.S. You can be one of them.
