Understanding the process of making career choices and managing your career is a basic life skill that
everyone should understand.
Your career decisions have such a profound effect on all aspects of your life.It"s important to have the
knowledge and resources needed to make smart, informed decisions.
Many people mistakenly believe that choosing a career is a onetime event that happens some time in
early adulthood.However, career management is actually a lifelong process, and we continue to make
consequential career choices over the years.
Whether you are looking for a new job, aiming to take the next step at your current job, completely
changing your career or planning your retirement options, you are making career decisions.Using good
resources and the guidance of a career counselor can help you to make those decisions well.
So many people jump right to creating a new resume when they want to take action in their career.
However, career management and job search is about so much more than writing a good resume.If you
take the time to learn about, think through and act on the four main areas of career management, you"ll be
rewarded throughout your career.
Your interests, abilities, values and personal needs and realities should all be taken into account in any
career decision making process.You spend countless hours at work, and it impacts your life in so many
ways；it makes sense that you should be fully informed before making such profound decisions.
Do you know how many different career choices are available to you?Both The Dictionary of
Occupational Titles(American)and The National Occupational Classification(Canadian) list well over
20,000 different job titles.So unless you"ve actively explored a variety of career options, there"s a very
good chance that there are great possibilities available to you, and you don"t even realize they exist.
Match your understanding of yourself with your understanding of possible career options.Once you
have developed a good understanding of yourself, you will be able to combine that selfknowledge with
your career and labor market research to determine potential careers that are a great fit for you.
When you"ve made a well informed decision, then you"re ready to make it happen.Making use of good
career guidance and resources will help you to acquire the education, skills and experience needed to get
the job.
Avoid the"ready, fire, aim"approach to making career choices and job searching.Time spent
understanding your needs, researching your career options and developing outstanding job search skills,
guided by great career resources, is a powerful investment in your future.

making it important for people to have career education.And it is suggested that career education should
be carried out through one"s whole life.
Career education is the instruction that is intended to help young people to identify,choose and prepare for a career.Such instruction may focus on a person"s role in work,leisure,or family life.Career education
differs from vocational education,which is designed to teach specific occupational skills.
Career education includes the formal and informal learning that occurs in the family,in the community,
and in schools.In schools,career education consists of instructive activities included in many courses.
These activities are designed to improve the attitudes,knowledge,and skills that are important for work
roles.Career education helps students to develop selfunderstanding and then use it to plan their education
and working life.
A complete career education program in school begins in kindergarten and continues at least through
high school.In kindergartens and elementary schools,youngsters learn about different types of work.In
junior middle schools,children begin to explore the occupations and leisure activities that interest them
most.In high schools,students get more specific information about occupations and life styles.They may
learn how to make career decisions in classrooms,small groups or individual sessions.They also should
obtain the skills they need for further study or for a job after graduation.Many colleges and universities
also offer career education through their counseling programs.Counselors provide information on such
matters as how to locate and apply for jobs and how to be successful in interviews.
Teachers and counselors use a variety of methods to provide career education,including films about
occupations or industries.Children may invite parents or other adults to come to school and describe
their jobs.A student may accompany a worker on his or her job for some time.
Both teachers and parents are responsible for youngsters" career education.It really works that
students are taught to combine classroom study with practical work experience.

favorite pleasures.It doesn"t cost a thing and takes very little time.Best of all, you can do it for pure
enjoyment.It"s walking.
There"s something about walking that"s different from jogging.When I"m jogging, I"m constantly
challenging myself to go farther or faster, sweat more, and breathe harder.But when I"m walking, I"m
taking time to go outside and put one foot in front of the other while I look around, breathe, and feel the
sun and the wind.When I walk, I"m submerging(浸没) myself in life.
On walks, I make friends with myself.That little voice in my head asks, "How are you going to finish
three major projects this week?" I answer, "Now, calm down.This is your time.No deadlines, no projects, no havetodos."
Walks alone and walks with companions each have their own pleasures.On walks with companions
, acquaintances become friends and friendships deepen.There are always memories and thoughts to share on walks.
I also enjoy walking anywhere with my children, who constantly open my eyes to new
discoveries－rolling down a hill, or finding a strange rock.Walking expands their minds and teaches them
about nature.
Years ago, when I read "Pride and Prejudice", I noticed Elizabeth Bennet walked three miles to visit
her sister.Then I learned that the Romantic poets－William Wordsworth, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe
Shelley－frequently walked for hours for creative inspiration.I might not have been able to write like these poets but I could take walks as they did, I thought.Then I became interested in the activity.
Because I walk so often, I now have a list of my favorite walking spots.One of my favorite spots is a
park near my house.The park lets me experience the cycle of the seasons at my convenience.
Where else can you appreciate the beauty in the world except on a walk? Why not take a walk and
do it for pleasure?
1. Compared with jogging, walking ________.
A. is more boring
B. is more relaxing
C. needs more energy
D. takes less time
2. The author seems to believe that ________.
A. walks may help promote friendship
B. walks help build children"s independence
C. one had better walk without companions
D. one can solve hard problems during walks
3. From Paragraph 6 we learn ________.
A. the benefits of reading
B. why the author loves poems
C. how the author started walking
D. the importance of creative inspiration
4. Why does the author write the passage?
A. To stress the importance of literature.
B. To give advice about daily exercise.

D. To recommend walking to the readers. | | 阅读理解 | There was room for all of us, and sleeping bags kept the night chill away.We would listen to the
sound of the river, and hear the coyotes(丛林狼) howling along the hills not far away.
Those were the cool summer nights of the mid nineties in Southern Alberta, Canada, when the fou
r children were young and we would lie on the trampoline(蹦床) in the backyard late at night, for the
sun would not set till late in July and August.We would look at the stars up above.It was a simple
painting of little white dots on a black canvas, but we would never grow tired of looking at it.As our
eyes surveyed that starry wonder we would see streaks of lights as meteors(流星) hit the atmosphere
and burn up, or we would follow the meteors"steady path across the sky till it would also disappear.
These were the times when I would tell the stories of my own childhood and teach the kids life"s
lessons that have been remembered to this day.I chuckle, as I recall the time when we heard a coyote
not far away, that I started a story about a bear sneaking (溜)up to the trampoline.The closer the bear
came (in the story )the closer the kids snuggled up to mom and I, until suddenly I let out this big daddy
growl and grabbed all the kids.They would startle and jump up and then all laugh, "Daddy, you scared
us!"
Now the children are in their mid and late teens, but they fondly remember the starry nights on that
trampoline.Recently my oldest daughter on her wedding day sang a song for her parents, entitled I"ll
always be your little girl.She wrote the music and words；it included a memory of those starry nights.
I have learned as a parent that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children as they are growing
up is the time to tell them stories, or if telling stories is not that simple, perhaps read them a story.They
can read their own books and it will benefit them greatly academically, but telling or reading them a story
will create an inseparable bond(联系) with pleasant memories such as those late summer nights in the
starry sky.

the opposite thing.And they really promote reading to children, which is so good for children.I have found
that this is true with my own children.
I am not sure if it is the book or the fact that you are spending quality time with them, undivided time
that they will remember for their entire life.Reading to children is one of the most bonding experiences you can have.
Children enjoy sitting on your lap while your voice flows over them.As the reader it is fun to watch
their littl e faces as they are moved with the flow of the story.They are laughing one moment and on the
next page the story has moved them to tears.As the storyteller, I am just as moved as they are；I am
caught up in the story as our emotions flow up and down.You can easily lose a whole afternoon in reading.
This is an experience that children then try to pass on to younger children, reading books to them.My
daughter was so into reading that if she couldn"t line up some neighbors"children she could be reading her
books to, she would line up her stuffed animals and read to them.Well, she also tried to teach her neighbors and teddy bears math, and "ocean science "as she called it.She would read anything she could to them.
And to my astonishment the neighbors"parents told me they really appreciated the fact that their children
were doing so much better in school.
