1.Do you agree with the writer when he says that the “new boss” is “you”?(Critical thinking)
Step 3 读后——讨论深度理解
答案 Yes,I agree with the author.The author stated clearly at the end: If you want to succeed in the 21st century career,you will have to develop new essential skills.Lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain or even likely.The truth is that you are the boss of your career,and it is up to you to decide what you can do and how well you can do it.This means that you are responsible for your future.
2.Why does the writer discuss some of the wrong assumptions in paragraphs 2-4?(Creative thinking)
答案 To invite readers to pay more attention to what he or she says about the real trend about the future and to make the readers realise that what common people think at present will no longer be true in the future and that they have no other choices but to walk out of their comfort zone and be their own boss.
