What should you think about when trying to find your career You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school.On the other hand,you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job,they may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects,you will have learnt to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills,such as typing or technical drawing,which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery,and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer,think what you have gained from it.If nothing else,you may have learnt how to get to work on time,to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learnt to give correct change in a shop,for example.Just as important,you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record,for instance,
may not be too good,yet it is an important part of your background.You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognise that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
( )4.What can we infer from the first paragraph
[A] We should think about how to find our career.
[B] Learning ability at school shows power in your job.
[C] A knowledge of each subject may be of value in your career.
[D] Learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.
( )5.What will a student do if his school performance is not good
[A] He will have no hope in his future work.
[B] He will be hopeful to find a suitable job.
[C] He will regret not having worked harder at school.
[D] He will have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work.
( )6.What does the underlined phrase “be all thumbs” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
[A] Be the best. [B] Be clumsy.
[C] Be important. [D] Be skilled.
( )7.What does the passage mainly discuss
[A] It talks about how to show strengths in your work.
[B] It talks about working experience and knowledge at school.
[C] It talks about the relationship between school performance and career.
[D] It talks about how to get a job.

短文。
When I was eleven years old,I moved to Tampa,Florida.My parents travelled for a living,so Aunt Emily took care of me while they were away.One rainy morning,there was an old lady who was dressed in a bright orange coat carrying a rubbish bag and a stick.“What’s that old lady doing ” I asked Emily,pointing out the window to the street in front of the house.
Hearing my question,Emily answered,“She’s picking up rubbish around here for fun.” “Oh,” I answered.“Interesting...Why would someone think picking up rubbish was fun ” For a long time,I often saw that old lady—rain or shine—on my way to school.In the beginning,I thought she was crazy to pick up rubbish.However,I finally smiled and waved at her each time I saw her.
Later,when I moved to college,I’d see rubbish in the grass and feel really angry about it.I’d think,“Why isn’t anyone picking up rubbish People are so unconcerned!” But shortly after that,I said to myself,“Why do I think picking up rubbish is someone else’s duty ” And I couldn’t walk past trash without feeling guilty (内疚的).
So while walking in the college,I began picking up rubbish and made sure the campus was in better shape than I previously found it.My behaviour influenced some students.They started to help out.
Like me,they also picked up rubbish whenever they noticed it.And our college became more beautiful.Seeing it,I began to think,“If I could pick up rubbish outside the college—in other places of the town,it may make a big difference to the town.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
One morning,I went out to pick up rubbish.
Paragraph 2:
Then I decided to encourage more students to do this in the town.

Who Aunt Emily,an old lady,students in my college and I 好奇 生气、内疚 犹豫、胆怯 勇敢 高兴、自信
When When I was eleven years old;when I moved to college
Where In Tampa,Florida
What I saw an old lady picking up rubbish in the street.
Theme An old lady’s picking up rubbish made a big difference in my life.
Conflict & Clue Conflict:But shortly after that,I said to myself,“Why do I think picking up rubbish is someone else’s duty ” And I couldn’t walk past trash without feeling guilty. Clue:Seeing it,I began to think,“If I could pick up rubbish outside the college—in other places of the town,it may make a big difference to the town.”
Para.1 One morning,I went out to pick up rubbish. Q1:What did other people think of what I did Q2:What/Who did I remember Q3:What happened to people later
Para.2 Then I decided to encourage more students to do this in the town. Q1:What were the students’opinions Q2:What did we do Q3:What did I learn from it
One possible version:
One morning,I went out to pick up rubbish.Some people watched me with a strange look that seemed to say I was crazy.And suddenly,I remembered that old lady who often picked up rubbish years ago.The interesting thing was that I was acting just like her!As strange as it might sound,picking up rubbish is kind of fun for me! Gradually,many people realised I was volunteering to help make our town clean.They praised me and thanked me.
Then I decided to encourage more students to do this in the town.Surprisingly,they agreed and we set up a volunteer organisation.We bought each student a bright orange coat with words on it:Let’s make our town cleaner!And we took time to not only pick up rubbish but also sort through it and recycle it.Something amazing happened—the strangers around us helped out,too! I thought to myself:“The old lady made all this happen; she made a big difference in my life.”
点津:句中that seemed to say I was crazy为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词look,其中I was crazy为宾语从句;
句中As strange as it might sound为让步状语从句的倒装句,picking up rubbish为动名词短语作主语;
为with复合结构,其中Let’s make our town cleaner为words的同位语;
句中使用了“not only...but also...”结构。

A nutritionist
As far as industries go,health care likely offers the most jobs that help people.Nutritionists work in hospitals,schools or nursing homes to help create meal plans to improve the health of their clients.Along with a bachelor’s degree in food and nutrition,clinical nutrition or a related field,you’ll need to be licensed in most states.
A personal trainer
Personal trainers work with people of all ages to build custom fitness plans.Along with performing physical assessments and creating training programmes,personal trainers also inspire their clients to stick to a plan so they can achieve desired results.You should have a junior college degree,
along with an associate’s degree in a health or fitness field,and you will need to pass an exam to receive your license.

On the other hand,you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job,they may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects,you will have learnt to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills,such as typing or technical drawing,which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery,and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer,think what you have gained from it.If nothing else,you may have learnt how to get to work on time,to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learnt to give correct change in a shop,for example.Just as important,you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record,for instance,may not be too good,yet it is an important part of your background.You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognise that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

环境保护篇
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was eleven years old,I moved to Tampa,Florida.My parents travelled for a living,so Aunt Emily took care of me while they were away.One rainy morning,there was an old lady who was dressed in a bright orange coat carrying a rubbish bag and a stick.“What’s that old lady doing ” I asked Emily,pointing out the window to the street in front of the house.
Hearing my question,Emily answered,“She’s picking up rubbish around here for fun.” “Oh,” I answered.“Interesting...Why would someone think picking up rubbish was fun ” For a long time,I often saw that old lady—rain or shine—on my way to school.In the beginning,I thought she was crazy to pick up rubbish.However,I finally smiled and waved at her each time I saw her.
Later,when I moved to college,I’d see rubbish in the grass and feel really angry about it.I’d think,“Why isn’t anyone picking up rubbish
People are so unconcerned!” But shortly after that,I said to myself,“Why do I think picking up rubbish is someone else’s duty ” And I couldn’t walk past trash without feeling guilty (内疚的).
So while walking in the college,I began picking up rubbish and made sure the campus was in better shape than I previously found it.My behaviour influenced some students.They started to help out.
Like me,they also picked up rubbish whenever they noticed it.And our college became more beautiful.Seeing it,I began to think,“If I could pick up rubbish outside the college—in other places of the town,it may make a big difference to the town.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
One morning,I went out to pick up rubbish.
Paragraph 2:
Then I decided to encourage more students to do this in the town.
