For high schoolers, a career goal can help them choose a major and college. They may find a career that fits for the first try. Therefore, do encourage the career exploration below. It describes a few new ones that will be available when your teen reaches adulthood.
Next-generation psychological help
Unfortunately, psychological health issues are unlikely to decrease soon. The existing research is far from a cure-all. Psychological help will likely be an ever more interesting and in-demand profession.
Intermediate health care provider
The U. S. is facing an overburdened health care system. So, an ever-higher percentage of health care will be provided by intermediate-care providers such as physician assistant, dental assistant, etc. The good news for career-seekers is that the training is much shorter.
Software developers and engineers
Experts in database architecture, artificial intelligence, and machine learning will stay in demand. New applications may include AI-assisted diagnosis (诊断) and treatment recommendations, individualized education, and advanced embryo (胚胎) selection to ensure absence of genetically influenced diseases and so on.
Precision medicine
In your teen’s lifetime, major diseases will likely be prevented and/or treated with molecules custom-matched (定制) to the very specific disease. Your math-centric teen who can picture getting a PhD could help make that happen.
Tips
It’s great when teens are able to explore careers on their own. You might want to sit alongside, but let your teen sit in the driver’s seat. Only help as much as needed.

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where What Nigeria I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

Chaudhary quietly weaves together lengths of ropes, binding them with grass collected from the riverbank. She skillfully shapes the materials into a jewelry box. Meanwhile, she’s instructing a group of women to work out the materials. The ropes used were once the lifeline for climbers tackling Nepal’s mountains and were then discarded (扔掉). They are now finding new life, transformed by skilled hands into items to sell.
Acharya, working with the cleaning campaign, owns a waste processing business in Kathmandu, also an advocate for sustainable waste management. “Aluminum and other metal waste go through the recycling process, but we found no way to recycle ropes and gas cans,” she says. It struck her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai that a solution emerged. Rai, leading Nepal Knotcraft Centre, helped connect Acharya with Chaudhary’s team of craftswomen in hopes of turning the mountain waste into economic opportunity. “While this seems insignificant compared to waste in the mountains, it’s a start. We aim to connect local expertise, mountain waste and local economy,” says Acharya, proudly displaying a mat made from ropes left on Mt. Qomolangma by climbers. Her goal is to ensure that no waste collected from mountains ends up in a landfill again.
Finished crafts are sold at outlets and exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell. With flexible hours, the project gives women an opportunity to earn money even as they maintain household responsibilities.
Eventually, Acharya hopes to expand the program to involve more women and process more waste. But progress has been slow. “We still have not found a sustainable business plan to make crafts in large quantities, ”she says. Now, she is searching for cooperators to make a model that serves not only the mountain but the communities. “After all, we are trying to craft a sustainable future.”
Each rope turned into a decorative item is a way to help local women earn a living and keep mountains clean.
28. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Chaudhary in paragraph 1
A. To lead in the topic with her example.
B. To spread her environmental consciousness.
C. To show her patient instructions to the women.
D. To speak highly of her outstanding weaving skills.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. A business involving waste processing.
B. A team transforming waste into treasure.
C. A campaign advocating sustainable management.
D. A solution connecting expertise, waste and economy.
30. Which of the following is the most likely reason for craftswomen to join in the project
A. Selling crafts at outlets can earn more money.
B. Removing mountain waste generates a sense of pride.
C. Cooperating with local experts helps promote skills.
D. Work-life balance can be achieved due to flexible hours.
31. What is Acharya’s attitude towards expanding the program

The Japanese animation (动漫) director Hayao Miyazaki, a workaholic auteur generally considered to be one of the art form’s most accomplished masters, has been trying to retire since 1997. “I know I’ve mentioned I’m retiring many times in the past,” he told a press conference, “So I know that many of you might think, ‘oh again’. This time is for real.” Cut to 2023: The release of Hayao Miyazaki’s final “final” film, The Boy and the Heron.
With The Boy and the Heron, Miyazaki wanted to go back even further to his childhood. Indeed, the film’s opening scene is inspired by Miyazaki’s experience of growing up during World War Two. Much like an infant Miyazaki, Mahito is evacuated from Tokyo to live in the relative safety of the countryside. It is here, tormented (折磨) by grief, living miserably with his father and his father’s new wife, that he meets the nominal Heron: a half-man, half-bird creature who mockingly tells Mahito that his mother is still alive. It is around this point, as the fish chant for Mahito to “join us”, as the frogs climb over his face, that The Boy and the Heron takes a turn for the strange. Having followed the Heron, Mahito finds himself stranded somewhere between life and death.
How do we live It is a question that has haunted Miyazaki, a director always torn between optimism and despair, for most of his career: How do you live—as one character in The Boy and the Heron describes it—in “a foolish world filled with murder and thievery” Perhaps, without getting into specifics, the film’s ending suggests another interpretation: Legacies, successors, even art itself, none of it actually matters. All that matters is that people—Miyazaki’s family, his friends, even the audience—continue to live on, to engage with the real world rather than retreat into fantasy.
32. What do the words “oh again” indicate in paragraph 1
A. People’s doubt about Miyazaki’s retirement.
B. People’s concern about Miyazaki’s health.
C. People’s eagerness for Miyazaki’s animations.
D. People’s admiration for Miyazaki’s artistic achievements.
33. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. Add some background information.
B. Share Miyazaki’s growing-up experiences.
C. Introduce the film.
D. Display the latest film-shooting techniques.
34. What does the underlined word “haunted” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Inspired. B. Bothered. C. Scared. D. Relieved.
35. Where is this text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A travel guide. C. A novel. D. A magazine.

In our weekly staff meeting, our editor Ashley was not pleased with the quality of our reporting. “Our readership is way down. We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas ” she said.
I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people ‘s attention.”
After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students.
Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot.
“He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfeld Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently.
After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone.
I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. ”He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,“ he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:

主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“It struck her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai that a solution emerged. Rai, leading Nepal Knotcraft Centre, helped connect Acharya with Chaudhary’s team of craftswomen in hopes of turning the mountain waste into economic opportunity. “While this seems insignificant compared to waste in the mountains, it’s a start. We aim to connect local expertise, mountain waste and local economy,” says Acharya, proudly displaying a mat made from ropes left on Mt. Qomolangma by climbers. Her goal is to ensure that no waste collected from mountains ends up in a landfill again.(她突然想到，这些不可回收的垃圾可以再利用，但直到她遇到Maya Rai，解决方案才出现。Rai是尼泊尔手工艺中心的负责人，她帮助Acharya与Chaudhary的女工匠团队建立了联系，希望将山上的垃圾转化为经济机会。“虽然与山区的浪费相比，这似乎微不足道，但这是一个开始。我们的目标是将当地的专业知识、山区废弃物和当地经济联系起来，” Acharya自豪地展示着用登山者留在珠峰上的绳索制成的垫子。她的目标是确保从山上收集的废物不会再次进入垃圾填埋场。)”可知，本段讲述的是Acharya和Maya Rai一起找到了一个解决方案，将登山者留下的非回收性废物（如绳索和汽油罐）转化为经济机会，同时连接了本地专业知识和经济。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Finished crafts are sold at outlets and exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell. With flexible hours, the project gives women an opportunity to earn money even as they maintain household responsibilities.(成品工艺品在商店和展览会上出售。女工匠的报酬是根据她们制造和销售的物品的数量而定的。由于工作时间灵活，该项目让女性在承担家庭责任的同时也有机会赚钱。)”可知，该项目为妇女提供了灵活的工作时间，使她们能够在维持家庭责任的同时赚取收入。这种工作与生活的平衡是一个重要的吸引力，特别是对于需要照顾家庭和孩子的妇女来说。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Eventually, Acharya hopes to expand the program to involve more women and process more waste. But progress has been slow. “We still have not found a sustainable business plan to make crafts in large quantities, ”she says. Now, she is searching for cooperators to make a model that serves not only the mountain but the communities. “After all, we are trying to craft a sustainable future.””(最终，Acharya希望扩大这个项目，让更多的女性参与进来，处理更多的废物。但进展缓慢。她说：“我们仍然没有找到一个可持续的商业计划来大量生产工艺品。现在，她正在寻找合作伙伴，制作一个不仅为山区服务，也为社区服务的模型。毕竟，我们正在努力打造一个可持续发展的未来。”)”可判断，Acharya希望扩大这个项目，让更多的女性参与进来，处理更多的废物。这直接表明她对扩大这个项目持积极的态度。故选B。
D
The Japanese animation (动漫) director Hayao Miyazaki, a workaholic auteur generally considered to be one of the art form’s most accomplished masters, has been trying to retire since 1997. “I know I’ve mentioned I’m retiring many times in the past,” he told a press conference, “So I know that many of you might think, ‘oh again’. This time is for real.” Cut to 2023: The release of Hayao Miyazaki’s final “final” film, The Boy and the Heron.
With The Boy and the Heron, Miyazaki wanted to go back even further to his childhood. Indeed, the film’s opening scene is inspired by Miyazaki’s experience of growing up during World War Two. Much like an infant Miyazaki, Mahito is evacuated from Tokyo to live in the relative safety of the countryside. It is here, tormented (折磨) by grief, living miserably with his father and his father’s new wife, that he meets the nominal Heron: a half-man, half-bird creature who mockingly tells Mahito that his mother is still alive. It is around this point, as the fish chant for Mahito to “join us”, as the frogs climb over his face, that The Boy and the Heron takes a turn for the strange. Having followed the Heron, Mahito finds himself stranded somewhere between life and death.
How do we live It is a question that has haunted Miyazaki, a director always torn between optimism and despair, for most of his career: How do you live—as one character in The Boy and the Heron describes it—in “a foolish world filled with murder and thievery” Perhaps, without getting into specifics, the film’s ending suggests another interpretation: Legacies, successors, even art itself, none of it actually matters. All that matters is that people—Miyazaki’s family, his friends, even the audience—continue to live on, to engage with the real world rather than retreat into fantasy.
32. What do the words “oh again” indicate in paragraph 1
A. People’s doubt about Miyazaki’s retirement.
B. People’s concern about Miyazaki’s health.
C. People’s eagerness for Miyazaki’s animations.
D. People’s admiration for Miyazaki’s artistic achievements.
33. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. Add some background information.
B. Share Miyazaki’s growing-up experiences.
C. Introduce the film.
D. Display the latest film-shooting techniques.
34. What does the underlined word “haunted” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Inspired. B. Bothered. C. Scared. D. Relieved.
35. Where is this text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A travel guide. C. A novel. D. A magazine.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇人物报道。文章主要介绍了日本动画电影导演宫崎骏的背景信息，包括他的创作生涯、成就和尝试退休的经历。还详细描述了宫崎骏的最新电影《男孩与白鹭》的内容、主题和风格。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段““I know I’ve mentioned I’m retiring many times in the past,” he told a press conference, “So I know that many of you might think, ‘oh again’. This time is for real.”(他在新闻发布会上说：“我知道我过去曾多次提到我要退役，所以我知道你们中的许多人可能会想，‘哦，又来了’。这次是认真的。”)”可知，由于宫崎骏多次提及退休但之后又继续创作，因此当人们再次听到他提退休时，可能会产生怀疑的态度，觉得“又来了，这次会是真的吗？”。由此可知，“oh again”表达了人们对宫崎骏退休的怀疑。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Much like an infant Miyazaki, Mahito is evacuated from Tokyo to live in the relative safety of the countryside. It is here, tormented (折磨)by grief, living miserably with his father and his father’s new wife, that he meets the nominal Heron: a half-man, half-bird creature who mockingly tells Mahito that his mother is still alive. It is around this point, as the fish chant for Mahito to “join us”, as the frogs climb over his face, that The Boy and the Heron takes a turn for the strange. Having followed the Heron, Mahito finds himself stranded somewhere between life and death.(就像婴儿宫崎骏一样，Mahito从东京撤离到相对安全的农村生活。正是在这里，他饱受悲伤的折磨，与父亲和父亲的新婚妻子悲惨地生活在一起，遇到了名义上的苍鹭：一个半人半鸟的生物，嘲弄地告诉Mahito，他的母亲还活着。正是在这一点上，当鱼儿们呼喊着Mahito “加入我们”，当青蛙爬到他的脸上时，《男孩与白鹭》开始了一个奇怪的转变。跟随白鹭之后，Mahito发现自己被困在生与死之间。)”可知，第二段详细描述了电影《男孩与白鹭》的开场场景、主要角色以及电影中的奇幻元素，这明显是在介绍这部电影。故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“How do we live (我们是如何生活的？)”以及“It is a question(一个问题)”可知，这个问题在“困扰”着宫崎骏。选项A“Inspired (激励)”；选项B“Bothered (困扰)”；选项C“Scared (使害怕)”；选项D“Relieved (减轻、解除)”。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了日本动画电影导演宫崎骏的背景信息，包括他的创作生涯、成就和尝试退休的经历。还详细描述了宫崎骏的最新电影《男孩与白鹭》的内容、主题和风格。关于动画电影导演及其最新作品的报道和分析是杂志常见的内容。因此，这段文字最有可能来自一本杂志。故选D。

【36题详解】
根据空后的“and with new sciences and research appearing all the time(随着新的科学和研究不断出现)”可推测，空处和此保持一致，指的是科技的发展。选项D“With technology developing at an increasing speed(随着科技的飞速发展)”与空后内容保持一致，指的是随着科技的发展和研究的不断出现，从而自然引出下文“it’s easy to feel lost among the progress and even to be a little frightened.(人们很容易迷失在进步中，甚至有点害怕。)”。故选D。

【39题详解】
根据空前内容“Another useful thing to do is to try asking a friend working in related areas to show you how to get on with new technologies.(另一件有用的事情是试着让在相关领域工作的朋友告诉你如何使用新技术。)”可知，我们可以向朋友求助。选项B“This is easier than going to a class(这比去上课容易)”是上文内容的自然延续，同时与空后内容“because the person instructing you will have a better idea of the way your mind works and how to communicate with you.(因为指导你的人会更了解你的思维方式以及如何与你沟通。)”保持一致。故选B。

In our weekly staff meeting, our editor Ashley was not pleased with the quality of our reporting. “Our readership is way down. We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas ” she said.
I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people ‘s attention.”
After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students.
Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot.
“He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfeld Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently.
After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone.
I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. ”He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,“ he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry.

【答案】范文
To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. “This is the very story we need to attract more readers,” she argued. To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie. Noticing her hesitant expression, I further explained the potential harm it would cause to the player and our, paper ‘s reputation. After some discussion, Ashley finally gave in, “OK, let’s try with real stories.“ Then I went to gather all the necessary information to write an article about Perry and the precious memories we shared over the years.
On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. Soon, it sparked heated discussions among students about Perry. Many were disappointed with Perry’s sudden departure, but were comforted by the fact that he was in good care. The story also evoked sweet memories of Perry. Some students even requested to share their stories of him in our paper! Seeing the story’s success, Ashley came to me and said sincerely, “You are right! It’s a good story.” Her words brought me a great sense of fulfillment. Indeed, true stories might not always draw attention, but they have the power to touch and connect.
