13、ware, the latest job markets news isnt good: Unemployment is still more,than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. Thats bad for the economy, of course.,And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change car,eers right now. But it actual

14、ly shouldnt matter to you nearly as much as you think. Thats because,job growth numbers dont matter to job hunters as much as job turnover data.

35、d to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater l,ikelihood (可能性) of conflict.

36、sity study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher acade,mic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social press,ure. In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye the only black student on his freshman year floor -s,aid that “if

The RA of two years added that wh,ile some confl

41、icts “provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合),“ there were also “jarri,ng cultural confrontations.“ The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of,the same race. Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the st,udies, noting
