The term “résumé” means a document describing one’s educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines (指南) for preparing a global résumé are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate (适当的) regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The following list is a good place to start.
In many countries, it is standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on your résumé. Do not attach a photograph to your résumé if you are sending it to the United States, though.
Educational requirements differ from country to country. In most cases of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. 
Pay attention to the résumé format (格式) you use — chronological (时间的) or reverse-chronological order. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format, which means listing your current or most recent experience first.
The level of computer technology and accessibility to the Internet varies from country to country. Even if a company or individual lists an e-mail address, there is no guarantee that they will actually receive your email. Send a paper copy of your résumé, as well as the emailed copy, just to make sure that it is received.
If you are writing your résumé in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. 
Although English is widely accepted today as being the universal language of business, most multinational companies will expect you to speak the language of one of the countries in which they do business, in addition to English. Have your résumé prepared in both languages, and be ready for your interview to be conducted in both languages. Most companies will want to see and hear proof of your language skills.
Be aware that paper sizes are different in different countries. The United States standard is 8½ by 11 inches, while the European A4 standard is 21 by 29.7 centimeters. When you send your résumé by email, reformat it to the receiver’s standard. Otherwise, when it is printed out, half of your material may be missing!

Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity might have a few mistakes — and Jake Barnett has set out to prove it. Between attending college classes at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and tutoring his fellow students, Jake is also working on a new theory about the creation of the universe. He happens to be 12 years old.
From an early age, Jake showed an extraordinary interest in stars. When he was 3, his parents took him to a space observatory. He tried to learn as much as he could about astronomy. Jake’s IQ measured remarkably high at 170.
As a baby, Jake was found out with Asperser’s syndrome, a form of autism (孤独症). Autism causes difficulties in communication and social abilities. People with autism may also have strong interests — like Jake’s interest in the stars at a young age.
The symptoms of autism can range from mild to extremely severe. Asperser’s is one of the milder forms of autism. Sometimes people with Asperser’s, like Jake, develop extremely advanced skills in science, music or art.
When Jake was in elementary school, his parents worried that the effects of his Asperser’s were worsening. He became quiet. And he was withdrawing from people. So a doctor recommended that Jake’s parents let him study more advanced subjects, like math and physics.
Jake’s mother asked an astronomy professor to let Jake sit in on his class. Now, Jake studies advanced sciences like electromagnetic physics at IUPUI.
But Jake thinks it’s important to have a normal life too. He likes to play Guitar Hero with his friends and watch science fiction movies. He also enjoys playing classical music on the piano. But for Jake, studying physics is the most important thing. Jake’s professor, John Ross, is working on getting a large sum of money for him to do research at the university.
Doctors have said Jake’s autism symptoms have lessened over time. Still, Jake proudly refers to himself as an “Aspy”, or someone with Asperser’s. In an interview with his university student newspaper, he said, “I think the autism is the reason I’m even at IUPUI.”
43. What did Jake want to do at IUPUI?
A. Get a degree in astronomy.
B. Put forward his own theory in physics.
C. Become an Albert Einstein in the future.
D. Teach his fellow students Theory of Relativity.
44. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Jake?
a. He set out to disprove Einstein’s theory. 
b. He was interested in astronomy.
c. He began to study math and physics.
d. He was found out with a mild form of autism.
A. b-d-c-a  B. d-b-c-a  C. b-a-c-d D. d-c-b-a
45. The underlined sentence in the passage means ______.
A. he was unable to help others
B. he was impolite to other people
C. he was afraid of seeing other people
D. he was only concerned about learning
46. In the eyes of Jake, autism is something ______.
A. embarrassing     B. upsetting
C. not worth worrying about   D. not necessary to know about
