Stop Asking Kids What They Want to
Be When They Grow
My first beef with the question is that it forces kids to define themselves in terms of work.When you're asked what you want to be when you grow up, it's not socially acceptable to say, “A father,” or “A mother,” let alone “A person of integrity.” When we define ourselves by our jobs, our worth depends on what we achieve.
The second problem is the suggestion that there is one calling out there for everyone. Although having a calling can be a source of joy, research shows that searching for one makes students feeling lost and confused. And even if you're lucky enough to find one, it might not be a well paid job.
If you manage to overcome those problems, there is a third hurdle: Careers rarely live up to your childhood dreams. In one study, looking for the ideal job left college seniors feeling more anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and depressed throughout the process and less satisfied with the outcome.
One positive aspect of low expectations is that they erase the gap between what we wanted and what we got. Extensive evidence shows that instead of painting a rosy picture of a job, you're better off going in with a realistic preview of what it's really like, whether it's good or bad. Sure, you might be a little less excited to take it, but on average you end up more productive and less likely to give up.
I'm all for encouraging youngsters to aim high and dream big. But take it from someone who studies work for a living: those ambitions should be bigger than work. Asking kids what they want to be leads them to claim a career identity they might never want to earn. Instead, invite them to think about what kind of person they want to be and about all the different things they might want to do.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了不要再问孩子长大后想做什么并说明了原因。
1.Which answer is more widely accepted when kids are asked about their future jobs
A.A scientist.
B.A mother.
C.A father.
D.A person of integrity.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“When you're asked ... let alone ‘A person of integrity.’”并结合选项可知,当孩子们被问及他们未来的工作时,“科学家”这个答案更被广泛接受。故选A。
2.What does the underlined word “calling” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Job. B.Duty.
C.Name. D.Phone.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段最后两句“Although having ... a well paid job.”可知,尽管拥有一份calling可以是快乐的源泉,但研究表明,寻找一份calling会让学生感到迷茫。即使你足够幸运找到了它,那也可能不是一份待遇不错的工作。由此可知,calling意为“工作”。故选A。
3.Why does the author mention one study about college seniors
A.To show college seniors face huge pressure.
B.To encourage college seniors to give up an ideal job.
C.To present the negative effects of high expectation for a job.
D.To advise college seniors to lower their expectations of jobs.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“In one study ... with the outcome.”可知,研究表明,寻找理想工作的过程让大学毕业生在整个过程中感到更焦虑、更有压力、更不堪重负和更沮丧,对结果也更不满意。由此可推知,作者提到这项研究是为了体现对工作的高期望的负面影响。故选C。
4.What may the author agree most according to the last paragraph
A.Parents had better ask kids what they want to be.
B.Parents can talk about all the different things with kids.
C.Parents must encourage kids to be ambitious for their careers.
D.Parents can discuss with kids on what kind of person they want to be.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Instead ... want to do.(相反,邀请他们思考他们想成为什么样的人,以及他们可能想做的所有不同的事情。)”可推知,作者可能最认同父母可以和孩子讨论他们想成为什么样的人。故选D。
B
Jack London, one of America's major writers of adventure tales, was born in California in 1876. During his life, London worked at many jobs. His broad life experiences would become the background for his writing.
London, loved to read. As a teenager, he spent many hours educating himself at the Oakland, California, public library. He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley, but he stayed for only six months. He thought Berkeley was “not lively enough” and wanted to do something more exciting.
London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living. He knew their problems first hand. He worked as a sailor, farmer, factory employee, railroad worker, and gold prospector, to name just a few of his many jobs.
London grew up near the waterfront in Oakland. He loved the water. When he was fifteen years old, he bought a small sailboat called a sloop. Later he sailed to Japan on a schooner, which is much large sailing boat. Like many people of the time, London caught the Klondike Gold Rush Fever. In 1897, he headed for Alaska. He didn't find gold, but he discovered something even more valuable. He discovered that people enjoyed listening to the stories he made up with his vivid imagination. London entertained the miners with story after story. Later, using his experiences during the Gold Rush, he created many more colorful stories.
London resolved to live a full, exciting life. He once said, “I__would__rather__be__a_
_superb__meteor__(流星),__every__atom__of__me__in__magnificent__glow,__than__a_
_sleepy__and__permanent__planet.” Each day, he pushed himself. Once London determined that he was going to be a writer, nothing could stop him. His goal was to write at least one thousand words everyday. He refused to stop even when he was sick. In eighteen years, the writer published fifty one books and hundreds of articles. He was the best selling and highest paid author of his day. Many people also considered him to be the best writer. White Fang and The Call of the Wild are his most famous stories and are about surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. Readers can enjoy Jack London's energy and his talent for telling wonderful stories each time they open one of his novels.

B.That he traveled to Alaska in 1897.
C.That he spent much of his time writing.

答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He attended college ... to do something more exciting.(他曾就读于加州大学伯克利分校,但只待了六个月。他认为伯克利‘不够活跃’,想做一些更令人兴奋的事情。)”可推知,Jack London没有完成大学的学业是因为他对这里的大学生活不太感兴趣。故选D。
7.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph indicates that Jack London ________.
A.is expert at universe
B.aims high and strive to succeed
C.is excited about life of the wildness
D.faces a choice between life and death

8.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A.To support the statement that London was the “best writer”.
B.To describe life during the Klondike Gold Rush.
C.To provide information on Jack's life.
D.To identify books written by Jack London.

5.答案:D
解析:设空处是本段的小标题。根据后文“We should consistently concentrate on where we want to be.”可知,本段介绍的是对待自己的目标要专心。D项(把我们自己放在我们内心想去的地方。)概括本段内容。故选D。

Stop Asking Kids What They Want to
Be When They Grow
My first beef with the question is that it forces kids to define
themselves in terms of work.When you're asked what you want to
be when you grow up, it's not socially acceptable to say, “A
father,“ or “A mother,” let alone “A person of integrity.”
When we define ourselves by our jobs, our worth depends on what we achieve.
The second problem is the suggestion that there is one calling out there for everyone. Although having a calling can be a source of joy, research shows that searching for one makes students feeling lost and confused. And even if you're lucky enough to find one, it might not be a well paid job.
If you manage to overcome those problems, there is a third hurdle: Careers rarely live up to your childhood dreams. In one study, looking for the ideal job left college seniors feeling more anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and depressed throughout the process and less satisfied with the outcome.
One positive aspect of low expectations is that they erase the gap between what we wanted and what we got. Extensive evidence shows that instead of painting a rosy picture of a job, you're better off going in with a realistic preview of what it's really like, whether it's good or bad. Sure, you might be a little less excited to take it, but on average you end up more productive and less likely to give up.
I'm all for encouraging youngsters to aim high and dream big. But take it from someone who studies work for a living: those ambitions should be bigger than work. Asking kids what they want to be leads them to claim a career identity they might never want to earn. Instead, invite them to think about what kind of person they want to be and about all the different things they might want to do.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了不要再问孩子长大后想做什么并说明了原因。
1.Which answer is more widely accepted when kids are asked about their future jobs
A.A scientist. B.A mother.
C.A father. D.A person of integrity.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“When you're asked ... let alone ‘A person of integrity.’”并结合选项可知,当孩子们被问及他们未来的工作时,“科学家”这个答案更被广泛接受。故选A。
2.What does the underlined word “calling” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Job. B.Duty.
C.Name. D.Phone.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段最后两句“Although having ... a well paid job.”可知,尽管拥有一份calling可以是快乐的源泉,但研究表明,寻找一份calling会让学生感到迷茫。即使你足够幸运找到了它,那也可能不是一份待遇不错的工作。由此可知,calling意为“工作”。故选A。
3.Why does the author mention one study about college seniors
A.To show college seniors face huge pressure.
B.To encourage college seniors to give up an ideal job.
C.To present the negative effects of high expectation for a job.
D.To advise college seniors to lower their expectations of jobs.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“In one study ... with the outcome.”可知,研究表明,寻找理想工作的过程让大学毕业生在整个过程中感到更焦虑、更有压力、更不堪重负和更沮丧,对结果也更不满意。由此可推知,作者提到这项研究是为了体现对工作的高期望的负面影响。故选C。
4.What may the author agree most according to the last paragraph
A.Parents had better ask kids what they want to be.
B.Parents can talk about all the different things with kids.
C.Parents must encourage kids to be ambitious for their careers.
D.Parents can discuss with kids on what kind of person they want to be.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Instead ... want to do.(相反,邀请他们思考他们想成为什么样的人,以及他们可能想做的所有不同的事情。)”可推知,作者可能最认同父母可以和孩子讨论他们想成为什么样的人。故选D。
B
Jack London, one of America's major writers of adventure tales, was born in California in 1876. During his life, London worked at many jobs. His broad life experiences would become the background for his writing.
London, loved to read. As a teenager, he spent many hours educating himself at the Oakland, California, public library. He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley, but he stayed for only six months. He thought Berkeley was “not lively enough” and wanted to do something more exciting.
London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living. He knew their problems first hand. He worked as a sailor, farmer, factory employee, railroad worker, and gold prospector, to name just a few of his many jobs.
London grew up near the waterfront in Oakland. He loved the water. When he was fifteen years old, he bought a small sailboat called a sloop. Later he sailed to Japan on a schooner, which is much large sailing boat. Like many people of the time, London caught the Klondike Gold Rush Fever. In 1897, he headed for Alaska. He didn't find gold, but he discovered something even more valuable. He discovered that people enjoyed listening to the stories he made up with his vivid imagination. London entertained the miners with story after story. Later, using his experiences during the Gold Rush, he created many more colorful stories.
London resolved to live a full, exciting life. He once said, “I would rather be a superb meteor (流星), every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.” Each day, he pushed himself. Once London determined that he was going to be a writer, nothing could stop him. His goal was to write at least one thousand words everyday. He refused to stop even when he was sick. In eighteen years, the writer published fifty one books and hundreds of articles. He was the best selling and highest paid author of his day. Many people also considered him to be the best writer. White Fang and The Call of the Wild are his most famous stories and are about surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. Readers can enjoy Jack London's energy and his talent for telling wonderful stories each time they open one of his novels.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国冒险小说作家Jack London (杰克·伦敦)的生平事迹。
5.Why was Jack London able to write on many topics
A.He pushed himself to reach goals.
B.He had a variety of experiences and jobs.
C.He was drawn to the Klondike Gold Rush.
D.He was the best selling and highest paid author.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“During his life, London worked ... become the background for his writing.”可知,Jack London能写出很多话题是因为他从事过很多工作,人生经历丰富。故选B。
6.What prevented Jack London from finishing college
A.That he was hired to sail to Japan.
B.That he traveled to Alaska in 1897.
C.That he spent much of his time writing.
D.That he was not interested in college life enough.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He attended college ... to do something more exciting.(他曾就读于加州大学伯克利分校,但只待了六个月。他认为伯克利‘不够活跃’,想做一些更令人兴奋的事情。)”可推知,Jack London没有完成大学的学业是因为他对这里的大学生活不太感兴趣。故选D。
7.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph indicates that Jack London ___.
A.is expert at universe
B.aims high and strive to succeed
C.is excited about life of the wildness
D.faces a choice between life and death
解析:句意理解题。根据画线句后的“Each day, he pushed ... even when he was sick.(每天,他都督促自己。一旦London决定他要成为一名作家,就没有什么能阻止他。他的目标是每天至少写1,000字。即使生病了,他也不肯停下来。)”可知,Jack London目标远大,一旦下定决心,就会全力以赴。由此可推知,画线句是“志存高远,奋斗成功”的意思。 故选B。
8.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A.To support the statement that London was the “best writer”.
B.To describe life during the Klondike Gold Rush.
