Does school prepare people for their jobs Here's what four people said.
When we study history, we learn about people, politics (政治), mistakes and great ideas in the past. All of these things help us to understand our place in the world and learn to think clearly.
—Sophia, lawyer (律师)
It depends on what kind of job you want. If you want to be a teacher, then school is the perfect preparation. If you want to be a chef (厨师), school is a great start, but then you need something more — you need to learn all about food. When I got my first job, my boss said it was the beginning of my education.

—Paul, manager
Not every subject at school is useful for your job. However, the school introduces you to a lot of ideas and subjects. It helps you learn what you like and don't like, and then you can decide on the right career. Until my maths teacher told me I could become an accountant (会计), I didn't know there was such a job.

I'm Jack. My father was a good watchmaker. He loved his work, but he was not a big moneymaker, and times were often hard. I remember once he was in trouble again. He had to pay a large bill, but he didn't have enough money. Then one day a well-dressed lady came into our shop and asked to see some very expensive watches.

When Houten died and his son took over the business, I kept on doing business with the young man. However, I bought a watch from him that didn't run at all. I sent it back three times, but he couldn't seem to fix it. That's why I decided to find another watchmaker.” The lady took out a large watch and gave it to my father.
Father adjusted (调整) something and handed it back to the lady. “That was a very small problem. It is fine now. I trust the young watchmaker. Some day he will be just as good as his father. Now I shall give back your money and you return my watch. ”

Louis Sachar is the writer of more than 20 children's books that are loved by children, parents and teachers. Sachar succeeds in writing funny, touching books for kids, but he didn't always know he wanted to be a writer.
Sachar spent time as a teacher's aide (助手) when he was in college. Although the work was not as easy as he thought, Sachar found that he really enjoyed working with young people. In fact, Hillside Primary School, where Sachar worked as an aide, finally became the inspiration (灵感) for his popular Wayside School books. The kids in the books are even named after students from Hillside.
After college Sachar attended law school and graduated (毕业) in 1980. By this time, Sachar's first children's book had come out, but he still wasn't sure about making a living as a writer. About ten years later, after writing several more books, Sachar finally felt that his books were successful enough for him to devote himself to (致力于) writing full time. In 1989, Sachar gave up his job as a lawyer and became a writer.
Sachar spends two hours writing each morning. He likes to be alone when he writes, though his two dogs, Tippy and Lucky, are always by his side. He tries to remember what it was like to be a child and uses those memories and feelings in his novels. He also uses his teaching experiences, as well as moments from his daughter's life. Sachar doesn't sit down with an organised (有组织的) plan when he starts a new book. Instead, he starts with just a seed of an idea. He finds that writing produces more ideas.

六、任务型阅读（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。
Being friends with someone does not mean that you agree with everything they do. Sometimes, you might disagree so strongly with the way a friend does things that you feel the need to mention it to him. You may find it so hard to talk to your friend. No worries. Here are some pieces of advice on how to make the talk friendly and effective (有效的).
Ask yourself what changes you expect. If you plan to tell your friend to change, you need to show examples of what you expect him to change first. This may be that a friend is dishonest, too lazy, or sometimes interferes with (干扰) your personal space.
Know why you want these changes. Are these changes for your own good, for your friend's well-being, or a necessary factor (因素) in continuing the friendship When you tell your friend that he has to change something about himself, he probably will ask why. You need to be ready to open up and give him the truth. For example, you can tell him how bad you feel now and what will happen if your friend makes a change.
Pick the right time and place to talk. You should have this talk in person if possible. Texts and emails are not the proper ways in this situation. Pick a time when neither of you is too nervous and meet somewhere that you won't be broken in. You might decide to meet for a Saturday morning coffee at a quiet local coffee house, for example.
Talk to your friend calmly. Try to communicate your feelings to your friend without blaming (责怪) him. When you talk, don't raise your voice at your friend. You might say something peacefully like “When you compare our grades, I'm not comfortable with it, and I want you to stop.”
1. It's common that sometimes you don't ________ __________ your friend and you expect him to change.
2. Before you go to your friend and tell him to change, you should list __________________ of what you expect him to change.
3. When your friend asks why you want him to change, give him __________________.
4. The writer advises talking __________________. He doesn't think texts and emails are good.
5. You should talk to your friend calmly without blaming him or __________________ at him.
