There are as many kinds of careers as there are people.They vary greatly in the type of work involved and in the ways they influence a person’s life.The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways.By making wise decisions concerning your career， you can help yourself build the life you want.To do that， you need as much information as possible.The more you know about yourself， the better able you will be to choose a satisfying career.
What do people hope to obtain from a career？Some people desire a high income.Some hope for fame.Others seek for adventure.Still others intend to serve people and make the world a better place.Before you begin to explore career fields， you should determine your values， your interests， and your aptitudes that will make you competent for your future work.Most people are happiest in jobs that fit their values， interests， and skills.Each person has many values， which vary in strength.For example， money is the strongest value for some people — that is， wealth is more important to them than anything else.As a result， they focus their thoughts， behaviour， and emotions on the goal of earning a high income.Other values include devoting to religion， taking risks， spending time with family， and helping others.
Before making a career decision， you can ask yourself what is most important to you and examine your beliefs to better know your values.For example， is it important to you to work as a member of a team？Or would you rather be in charge or work alone？If working alone or being in charge is important to you， independence is probably one of your primary values.
8.How can we make a wise career decision？（ ）
A.We learn more about ourselves.
B.We stick to our beliefs more firmly.

In a study published in Nature Communications， researchers from the University of Zurich told 50 people they’d be receiving about $100.Half of the people were asked to spend that money on themselves， and half were asked to spend it on someone they knew.Before giving out any money， the researchers brought everyone into the lab and asked them to think about a friend they’d like to give a gift to and how much they would spend.They then performed functional MRI scans to measure activities in three parts of the brain related to social behaviour， generosity， happiness and decision-making.
Their choices — and their brain activities — seemed to depend on how they had promised to spend the money earlier.Those who had promised to spend money on other people tended to make more generous decisions throughout the experiment.They also had more interaction between the parts of the brain related to altruism （无私） and happiness， and they reported higher levels of happiness after the experiment was over.
Another piece of good news was that planning to give away just a little bit of money had the same effects on happiness as giving away a lot.“At least in our study， the amount spent did not matter，” says lead author Philippe Tobler.“Even little things have a beneficial effect — like bringing coffee to one’s workmates.”
“It’s not yet clear how long these warm feelings last after being generous.But studies have shown that older people who are generous tend to have better health，” says Tobler， and other research has suggested that spending money on others can be effective at lowering blood pressure.“Moreover， there is a positive connection between helping others and life expectancy （预期寿命），” he adds.
Next time you think that the best way to make yourself feel better is to buy yourself a treat， consider that the opposite is likely true.“It is worth giving it a try， even if you think it would not work，” Tobler says.“Repeated practice is probably needed so that giving becomes second nature.”
12.What did the researchers find out about those promising to spend money on other people？（ ）
A.They were much happier.
B.They had less brain activities.
C.They were slower at making decisions.
D.They experienced higher levels of stress.
13.What does Tobler want to illustrate by mentioning bringing coffee to workmates？（ ）
A.It isn’t hard to behave generously.
B.Being generous will pay off in the end.
C.The amount of generosity did not matter.
D.Small acts of generosity can be seen everywhere.
14.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us？（ ）
A.Ways to show generosity.
B.Health benefits of being generous.
C.Reasons for performing acts of generosity.
D.Influences generous people have on others.
15.What does Tobler suggest people do in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Practice giving and make it a habit.
B.Don’t expect anything in return when giving.
C.Don’t believe happiness depends on a good treat.
D.Perform something good even if it may have a bad result.

听力技巧点拨 ——授之以渔，证之以例
快速记录听力信息
听力录音转瞬即逝，因此，快速记录是听力考试中必须具备的一项能力。如果学生能够在很短的时间内把所听到的内容、重音、语调记录下来，并加以综合推断和理解，答题的正确率自然就会高。
在英语听力考试中，记录可以分为两种形式：一种是心记；另一种是笔记。无论是哪种记录形式，都不允许在听的过程中停下来去记录，只能是边听边记；对于没有听清的内容，也只好放弃并继续往下听。
1.心记：心记也就是脑记、短时记忆。主要解决第一节的5个短对话。心记一般采用句子复述法来进行，即重复所听到的内容，由简单到复杂，逐渐增加记忆的长度和难度，把语音与语义结合起来。
【典例】 W：Excuse me， sir， visiting hours are over now.Your wife must get some rest.
M：Oh， I’m sorry， doctor.I didn’t hear the bell， or I would have left earlier.
【分析】 此对话关注的重点是visiting hours， wife， doctor， bell等词。
2.笔记：对于信息量较大的听力材料，单靠心记显然是行不通的，而要用笔头的方式把它记录下来，即笔记。主要解决第二节的语篇对话或独白。笔记一般采用选择性记录。即对于长句可只记录几个单词，甚至几个单词的首字母；对于时间、数量只用阿拉伯数字记录即可。
3.速记方法：
（1）用标志性的字母代替较长的单词
这种方法适合记比较长的单词、常见的单词及专有名词（人名、地名、国家名、组织机构名称等），如：UN 代表 the United Nations；GB 代表 Great Britain；M 代表 mountain；tele 代表telephone等。
（2）用核心成分代替句子
即用句中的核心成分代替整个句子，省去其他起语法功能的连词、冠词、介词等虚词；用阿拉伯数字代替它们的英语表达法。如：In Britain anyone who is physically and mentally fit and over the age of seventeen can apply for a driving license.可以速记为：Br.any physi ment fit age 17 app driv lice.，这些核心成分就为整理答案的内容提供了充分的依据。
（3）用符号表示信息
如用“←”“↑”“→”“↓”等符号表示不同的方向，用“＜”表示 less than，用“＝”表示 be equal to，用“＞”表示 more than，用“（ ）”表示 include。这样既可以节省时间又可以利用图形符号的直观性恢复省略掉的信息。
【典例】 W：Did you know James went out of business？
M：Really？ When was that？
W：Last month.
M：That’s too bad！ He had owned that business for 15 years.What happened？
W：I don’t know.But life must be pretty tough for his family now.His sons are still so young.One is 13 and the other is 10.
M：Well， maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.
W：I hope so.
【分析】 此对话关注的重点是out of bus （代表out of business）， la mon （代表last month），15 y （代表15 years）， tough， young， bad等词。

听力技巧点拨 ——授之以渔，证之以例
快速记录听力信息
听力录音转瞬即逝，因此，快速记录是听力考试中必须具备的一
项能力。如果学生能够在很短的时间内把所听到的内容、重音、语调
记录下来，并加以综合推断和理解，答题的正确率自然就会高。
在英语听力考试中，记录可以分为两种形式：一种是心记；
另一种是笔记。无论是哪种记录形式，都不允许在听的过程中停
下来去记录，只能是边听边记；对于没有听清的内容，也只好放
弃并继续往下听。
1. 心记：心记也就是脑记、短时记忆。主要解决第一节的5个短对
话。心记一般采用句子复述法来进行，即重复所听到的内容，由简
单到复杂，逐渐增加记忆的长度和难度，把语音与语义结合起来。
【典例】 W：Excuse me， sir， visiting hours are over now.Your
wife must get some rest.
M：Oh， I’m sorry， doctor.I didn’t hear the bell， or I would
have left earlier.
【分析】 此对话关注的重点是visiting hours， wife， doctor，
bell等词。
2. 笔记：对于信息量较大的听力材料，单靠心记显然是行不通的，而
要用笔头的方式把它记录下来，即笔记。主要解决第二节的语篇对
话或独白。笔记一般采用选择性记录。即对于长句可只记录几个单
词，甚至几个单词的首字母；对于时间、数量只用阿拉伯数字记录
即可。
3. 速记方法：
（1）用标志性的字母代替较长的单词
这种方法适合记比较长的单词、常见的单词及专有名词（人
名、地名、国家名、组织机构名称等），如：UN 代表 the
United Nations；GB 代表 Great Britain；M 代表 mountain；
tele 代表telephone等。
（2）用核心成分代替句子
即用句中的核心成分代替整个句子，省去其他起语法功能的
连词、冠词、介词等虚词；用阿拉伯数字代替它们的英语表
达法。如：In Britain anyone who is physically and mentally fit
and over the age of seventeen can apply for a driving license.可
以速记为：Br.any physi ment fit age 17 app driv lice.，这些核
心成分就为整理答案的内容提供了充分的依据。
（3）用符号表示信息
如用“←”“↑”“→”“↓”等符号表示不同的方向，用
“＜”表示 less than，用“＝”表示 be equal to，用“＞”表
示 more than，用“（ ）”表示 include。这样既可以节省时
间又可以利用图形符号的直观性恢复省略掉的信息。
【典例】 W：Did you know James went out of business？
M：Really？ When was that？
W：Last month.
M：That’s too bad！ He had owned that business for 15years.What happened？
W：I don’t know.But life must be pretty tough for his family now.His sons are still so young.One is 13 and the other is 10.
M：Well， maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.
W：I hope so.
【分析】 此对话关注的重点是out of bus （代表out of business）， la mon （代表last month），15 y （代表15 years）， tough， young， bad等词。

There is a new coffee shop in London： Ziferblat.Here is some
information about it.
Billing
You can stay for as long as you like in the Ziferblat coffee
shop.You’ll be given a clock when you come in to keep timing.When
you leave， you return the item and pay the bill.The cost is 3 pence （便
士） per minute or ￡1.8 an hour.
Offering
The shop’s owner， Ivan Meetin， says， “Everything is free，
except the time you spend here.” Customers help themselves to coffee
and cookies.They can also bring their own food to eat while accessing the
Internet through Wi-Fi.
Atmosphere
Meetin’s customers clearly are not the types who rush to work with
a paper cup to drink from at their desks.They are there for
atmosphere.The new coffee shop’s atmosphere is relaxing.Informality is
at the heart of Meetin’s concept.Meetin believes his coffee shop is a bit
like “social media” and like-minded people go there to socialise.
Reflection
The concept of coffee shops， where you pay for the time and not for
the cup， has proved popular in Russia.Ziferblat is part of a Russian
chain.As for London’s chain， only time will tell if the British will
warm to the idea.

There are as many kinds of careers as there are people.They vary
greatly in the type of work involved and in the ways they influence a
person’s life.The kind of career you have can affect your life in many
ways.By making wise decisions concerning your career， you can help
yourself build the life you want.To do that， you need as much
information as possible.The more you know about yourself， the better
able you will be to choose a satisfying career.
What do people hope to obtain from a career？Some people desire a
high income.Some hope for fame.Others seek for adventure.Still others
intend to serve people and make the world a better place.Before you begin
to explore career fields， you should determine your values， your
interests， and your aptitudes that will make you competent for your future
work.Most people are happiest in jobs that fit their values， interests，
and skills.Each person has many values， which vary in strength.For
example， money is the strongest value for some people — that is，
wealth is more important to them than anything else.
As a result， they focus their thoughts， behaviour， and emotions on the
goal of earning a high income.Other values include devoting to religion，
taking risks， spending time with family， and helping others.
Before making a career decision， you can ask yourself what is most
important to you and examine your beliefs to better know your values.For
example， is it important to you to work as a member of a team？Or
would you rather be in charge or work alone？If working alone or being in
charge is important to you， independence is probably one of your primary
values.

In a study published in Nature Communications， researchers from
the University of Zurich told 50 people they’d be receiving about
$100.Half of the people were asked to spend that money on themselves，
and half were asked to spend it on someone they knew.Before giving out
any money， the researchers brought everyone into the lab and asked them
to think about a friend they’d like to give a gift to and how much they
would spend.They then performed functional MRI scans to measure
activities in three parts of the brain related to social behaviour，
generosity， happiness and decision-making.
Their choices — and their brain activities — seemed to depend on
how they had promised to spend the money earlier.Those who had
promised to spend money on other people tended to make more generous
decisions throughout the experiment.They also had more interaction
between the parts of the brain related to altruism （无私） and
happiness， and they reported higher levels of happiness after the
experiment was over.
Another piece of good news was that planning to give away just a
little bit of money had the same effects on happiness as giving away a
lot.“At least in our study， the amount spent did not matter，” says
lead author Philippe Tobler.“Even little things have a beneficial effect —
like bringing coffee to one’s workmates.”
“It’s not yet clear how long these warm feelings last after being
generous.But studies have shown that older people who are generous tend
to have better health，” says Tobler， and other research has suggested
that spending money on others can be effective at lowering blood
pressure.“Moreover， there is a positive connection between helping
others and life expectancy （预期寿命），” he adds.
Next time you think that the best way to make yourself feel better is to
buy yourself a treat， consider that the opposite is likely true.“It is worth
giving it a try， even if you think it would not work，” Tobler
says.“Repeated practice is probably needed so that giving becomes
second nature.”
