Confidence”.

B
(2019·山东省实验中学一模)Recently,I had lunch with a young Chinese
student who studies at a college in New York. He is very bright and aspiring and I
enjoyed our conversation. Still I felt frustrated and useless afterwards because I was
not able to provide him with any good news. Graduating at the end of this year, he
asked me how he could find a job in this country and fulfill his career dreams.
In recent years, students who found a job here after graduation have had to go
through a cruel lottery system to obtain their H1B working visa.And the success rates
have been declining year after year because of the ever growing number of applicants.
Last year, there were 233,000 applicants, and only 30 percent of them were lucky,
less than half of the rate in 2013.
And it can only become worse.US President Donald Trump's immigration
policies in this country are tightening up and this trend will continue for at least the
next few years. In this case, foreign students studying social sciences, a field in which
starting salaries are rarely above the required amount, can kiss their visa hopes
goodbye.
Compared to the older generation of Chinese students,today's young people
no longer consider the US as the only option. Many start to think China offers better
opportunities in the longer term.
This is not to say that Chinese students in the US are not interested in job
opportunities here any more.A few years of work experience in the US can give them
leverage when they finally land back in their home country. But if the job
opportunities are largely reduced by the tightening of immigration policy,I expect
there will be a decline.And if that happens,it is the American economy that will
suffer from the loss of those educated, hardworking and talented immigrants.

A.he was not interested in the talk
B.he didn't fulfill his career dreams
C.he couldn't provide helpful advice
D.he thought the student was useless

B.Chinese students have no choice but to return to China.
C.President Trump is tightening up the immigration policies.
D.More and more students are applying for the working visa.
7.What does the word “leverage” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Advantage. B.Language.
C.Ability. D.Education.
8.What is the author's attitude to the tightening of immigration policy?
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.
C.Indifferent. D.Worried.

John Blanchard stood up, straightened his army uniform (制服), and studied the
crowd making their way through the station. He looked for the girl whose heart he
knew, but whose face he had never seen, the girl with a rose.
His interest in her began thirteen months ago in a li brary . Taking a book off the
shelf, he found himself fascinated, not with the words of the book, but with the notes
penciled in the margin (页边的空白). The soft handwriting showed a thoughtful soul
and brilliant mind.In the front of the book, he discovered the owner's name, Miss
Hollis Maynell . With time and effort he found her address. She lived in New York
City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond (通信).

During the next year and one month, the two begun to know each other by mail.
Each letter was a seed falling on both hearts. A romance was budding.Blanchard
asked for a photograph, but she refused.She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't
matter what she looked like.
When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their
first meeting-7 pm at the Grand Central Station in New York. “You'll recognize
me,” she wrote.“By the red rose I'll wear my dress. ” So at 7:00 he was in the
station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen.
A young lady was coming toward him. Her figure was long and slim; her blonde
hair lay back from her ears; her eyes were blue as flowers; her lips and chin had a
gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime coming alive.He
went toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As he
moved, a middleaged woman whispered, “Going my way, Sir?”
