One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. Some people, however, from the time they are six years old "know" that they want to be doctors or teachers or firefighters, but most of us do not get around to making a decision about a job until someone or something forces us to face the problem. Choosing a job takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get enough knowledge for a particular job. Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers to give you information about jobs. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions. |

Every January, Breckenridge hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams travel from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty- five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best. As the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity. Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example, one team carved a teapot with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet(后脚) reaching into a fish bowl complete with water ripples(涟漪) and a crab(螃蟹)trying to attack the cat. In 2006, Team USA sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the effect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws(脚爪) touching. As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute details. They use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts down the last five minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind, they will be out. When the whistle blows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity, technical skills, and visual impact(视觉效果)of the designs. In 2006, Team USA took first place for their golden dog sculp-ture titled "Discovery". But the competition is not just about medals and ribbons. "It"s not about the prize," said Rob Neyland, Team USA"s captain. "It"s about touching the audience.” Every year, as the championship ends, each team is already dreaming of the next masterpiece it will design. |

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language-all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast(对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we"re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt(适应) to changes or that we"re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all. These feelings of insecurity(不安全) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making. |

But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more. Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as in primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. It"s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that"s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear. "When I"m writing with a pen, I find I often can"t remember how to write a character, though I feel I"m familiar with it." "I"m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper." Many students don"t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it"s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer"s emotion. Through one"s handwriting, people can get to know one"s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them." To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand. | 1. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? | A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing B. To Type or to Handwrite C. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters | 2. The students interviewed prefer to write on a computer mainly because . | A. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays B. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character D. computers have become a trend and fashion in China | 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the advantages of handwriting? | A. Handwriting contains the writer"s emotion. B. The writer"s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting. C. Handwriting can impress people well and build one"s self-confidence. D. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. | 4. The underlined expression "taking stock in"(Paragraph 4) probably means . | A. getting bored with B. getting dependent on C. becoming crazy about D. getting curious about |
