What do you want to be when you grow up?
“When I grow up, I want to be...”
Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations(志向) may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of the most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job website monster. Co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these high-profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.
However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家)，waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?| A．Choosing a good job is very important. | | B．The choice of career needs challenge. | | C．Teenagers in the UK like doctors. | | D．Careers in teenagers’ mind. |
小题2:What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?| A．Medicine | B．Law | C．Bank | D．Education |
小题3:According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor except_______.| A．respect from others | B．the oldest profession | C．high pay | D．upward social mobility. |
小题4:What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career?| A．Prestige | B．Fulfillment | C．Happiness | D．Wealth |
小题5:What can we learn from the last paragraph?| A．According to your particular talents and skills, you can choose your favorite career. | | B．Specific education and training can help get a good job. | | C．Whatever career you choose, you should balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills. | | D．Responsibility is the most important when you choose a goodjob. |

You have a nice salary, but you still feel short of money. At the end of each month, you often ask yourself, “Where has all my money gone”? To help you better run your salary, here come some money-saving tips.
First, you need to set goals to encourage yourself to save money. For example, you plan to have a good dress in one year, to have a car in two years’ time or to buy a house in five years.
Second, form money-saving habits and stay away from the ones that waste money. Learn to keep a diary of how much you spend and what it’s for. Think twice before using money on expensive skin care products(护肤品). The best way to keep your skin in good condition is enough sleep.
Third, pay attention to your daily things. Leave no more than one light on when you leave home. Buy vegetables from a market where vegetables are less expensive and fresher, not a supermarket. When going to a supermarket, take a notebook with you. Write down what you want to buy.
Fourth, save your social life. Take the dishes that haven’t been eaten up away for next day when you have dinner in a restaurant. When it’s your turn to offer a meal, invite your friends to your home, and cook the dinner yourself. If you are to attend a party and an expensive present is needed, ask several friends to go together to share a present.
小题1:The passage is mainly about .| A．four ways to save money | | B．how to set goals to save money | | C．where to keep money | | D．how to live well with little money |

To some, it"s a dream job---eating delicious meals for free and then writing about them. But for some food critics, their eyes aren"t the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast.
Karen Fernau, a food writer for The Arisona Republic, said when she first started her job –she began to gain weight. “I always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day. " she says. Nine years later, keeping her weight steady and her health intact （完好无损的）is a daily battle. If she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal, she usually eats fruits or salads throughout the day. Now she is always keeping track of what"s in the food she eats and she says most people don"t even look at or consider it. At one tasting task alone, she says, upward of l,000 calories is often added to her day. That"s about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adult.
But even though she"s thought of a special eating method, Fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle. And food editors, writers and critics across the country couldn"t agree more. “When I"m at home or not eating for work, it"s healthy food to the extreme," says Phil Vettel, who"s been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19 years.
Vettle, who eats dinner at four restaurants each week, says unlike most professions, he has no right to choose. "If I"m going out to eat, I can"t choose the healthiest thing on the menu, I have to eat when they"re bringing me. " While Vettel exercises when he can, Joe Yonan, a food editor at The Washington Post, has strengthened his exercise habits since he started the job two years ago. Yonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and immediately hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his body training three to five times a week.
Still, it"s a struggle that many Americans might envy. After all, it"s one thing to get your calories from lobster（龙虾） tails or a delicate（精致的）chocolate cookie and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers.
小题1:What does the underlined sentence mean in Para l?| A．The food critics are always impressed by the delicious food in the restaurant. | | B．The food critics are shocked to learn they have to have one more feast. | | C．There is a wide variety of choices for the food critics to choose from. | | D．The food critics eat delicious food, which also tends to result in gaining weight. |
小题2:What can we learn about the job of being a food critic?| A．They enjoy free and delicious dishes and make comments on them. | | B．They only work for local magazines and newspapers. | | C．Once they become food critics, they tend to stay in the job. | | D．Their excellent sense of taste makes them qualified for the job. |
小题3:What is mentioned to be a method that food writers use to keep fit?| A．Not eating anything except for the free meals. | | B．Writing down everything they put into their mouth. | | C．Hiring a personal trainer for special exercise instructions. | | D．Choosing only the healthy food on the menu. |
小题4:What can we infer from the last paragraph?| A．No matter whether the food is expensive or not, the gaining of calories is the same. | | B．The calories that lobster tails and chocolate cookies contain are less harmful. | | C．Americans envy those food critics since they enjoy delicate and tasty food. | | D．Everybody should take the calories in their food carefully. |
小题5:What"s the main idea of the passage?| A．A job offering free meals may not be as desirable as it sounds to be. | | B．Dishes in the restaurant usually contain too many calories. | | C．Eating fruits and vegetables every day is the best way to lose weight. | | D．Food writers work hard to maintain their health and weight. |
