Many people need guidance in choosing a career (职业). Fortunately, there is much information on the
Web about job opportunities (机会). With all the information available, it"s not surprising that people can
feel confused. So if you"re ready to start your first job or change careers, where do you begin?
The Occupation Handbook is a good resource. Regularly updated, the Handbook is available as a book
and on-line. Not only is information provided about the United States as a whole, but readers can easily
search for information about their particular state. You can read about the fastest-growing occupations in
the area where you live and find out what they are like. You can also learn how to apply for jobs.
Take, for example, Nadia"s situation. Nadia was a doctor"s assistant in Iran, and her goal in the United
States is to become a nurse. However, she needs to work while she is studying nursing. She is interested
in becoming a medical assistant to help work her way through college. When going on-line to the Handbook
and searching under "medical assistant", Nadia is happy to read that this is expected to be one of the fastest-
growing careers through 2010. Besides, job opportunities are even better for people with experience. She
discovers that medical assistants not only have to do some office work, but have medical responsibilities as
well. Nadia decides this job will be interesting and will also provide excellent experience for her nursing
career.
The Occupation Handbook is just an example of websites that can help you plan a new career. When
you have found information about some different careers, you will be ready to talk to career advisers.
Choosing your future career is an extremely important decision. It"s worth taking the time and finding as

discovering what you"re not good at and what you don"t like. Both help you to see your aim in life.
Although most students would be unhappy if they failed a very difficult physics examination, they have in
fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists.
So failing can help a student to live a happier life if he learns something from it. They may then decide on their
aims and choose the work they like and are fit for.
It is impossible to decide whether you like something until you have tried it. If you decide to play the piano,
you need to take more than one lesson before knowing whether you are really interested in it or able to do well.
It is not enough if you want to be a great pianist. You also have to like the hard practice and long training. If
you enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work, forget it.
It"s a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are young. Then you will find out what your true
interests are. | | 1. If you say you really know yourself, _____. | A. you know what you don"t like
B. you know what you are good at
C. you have no interest in your work
D. you"ve got the whole picture of yourself | | 2. Failing can turn into something good _____. | A. if you have aim in life

on different cultures, smiling can express joy and amusement, but it can also show embarrassment.
People in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other in order to show they are open and
friendly. However, in China, smiling is not only an expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid being
embarrassed. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling
is a kind of good will but not sneer (嘲笑). For example: When a child falls off from a bike, the adults in China may smile, which is a kind of gentle encouragement and not a kind of impolite laugh.
When a person from the United States might blush(脸红)with embarrassment or become offensive (冒犯的), a Chinese might blush with smile. To avoid serious misunderstanding, people who engage in intercultural
communication should be able to understand the meaning of smiling properly. | | 1. We can use smile to express all of the following feelings except ______. | A. joy and happiness

请从A-F中选择适当的句子填空,补全文章信息 | People today in this busy world have lost sight of what true friendship is. I think I would help the world out
a little and tell them what true friends are. 1 Friends have similarities(相似点) but they also have differences. The key to building friendship is not only to expand similarities but also to accept each other"s faults. 2 No
one likes to argue but it is necessary to have a healthy friendship, because if you agree on everything, either you aren"t being true to each other or one of you is trying too hard to please the other. If you feel uncomfortable
around the person, then something isn"t quite right. 3 They have their little angry moments but what"s done
is done and all is forgotten. Why let something that happened in the past ruin your happy friendship in the future. 4 Some people think that you have to know someone really well to become good friends. Trust me, it"s
not true. 5 Just remember, friends are forever. Respect your friends and love them forever. | A. Believe in love at first sight because the same thing happens in friendship.
B. These are only the key points of being a true friend
C. Don"t believe your first impression.
D. Friends don"t have to be exactly the same.
E. Friends love each other unconditionally(无条件地).
