over time? when you select your career, theres a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. if you ignore your personality, it will get you a long-term hurt regardless of your skills or the jobs pay. there are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. here are a few of those main areas:1) do you prefer working alone or with other people?there are isolating（孤立的）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. there are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) how do you handle change?most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. if you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes dont happen so often. other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) do you enjoy working with computers？ i do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. there are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. again, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) what type of work environment do you enjoy？ this can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you wont know immediately to a smaller setting where youll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) how do you like to get paid? some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. the variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this. anyway, these are a great starting point for you. ive seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. it may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.1. what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean? a. you may ignore your skills when you select job. b. job skills are the most important things when you select job. c. there are more important things than job skills when you select job. d. selecting job, you should assess your skills and match them with the position. 2. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. isolating jobs usually drive people mad. b. interactive jobs make people shy easily. c. extreme people tend to work with others. d. almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.3. what is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?a. designb. changesc. cooperationd. hobbiesskillsjobs environment motivation stability ?4. what is the best title for this passage?a. lifestyles and job pay b. jobs and environment c. job skills and abilities d. personalities and jobs参考答案14、cdcd 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。finally, ientered the university. because of my careful savings, i did not have to work during the school year. then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. i continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. i even decided to take a class at acommunity（社区）college. this class at the community college saved me $650. it was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.during mysecond and third years of undergraduate schooling, i decided to work about five hours per week in the campus（校园）admissions office answering phones. this provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. the overall situation looked hopeful as i approached my senior year as long as i could make as much money as i had the previous summer. i wanted to go to israel to study for 3 weeks, but i hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in israel. about two weeks later my mom called to tell me that i had $1,600 in the bank that i had forgotten about! one of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, i made as much that summer in the ten weeks when i was at home as i had made during the fourteen weeks when i was at home the summer before. the way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.this experience has shaped me in many important ways. the first thing that ilearned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理). working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of adollar. it also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.1. where did the writer probably work part-time before attending the university?a. in a restaurant. b. in the tennis camps.c. in a company. d. in the admissions office.2. the writer took a class at a community

(学徒）in beauty salons (美容中心）or hair dressers. inspectors questioned 105 young people for a report on apprenticeships published on wednesday. they found several examples of young people who felt they had been laughed at by their teachers for wanting to progress to work-based learning, particularly in care or hairdressing, rather than stay on at school. right or wrong, is it any surprise that this is happening? from 2014，the government will measure schools according to the rate of their pupils who go to university. brian lightman , general secretary of the association of school and college leaders, says the government has already put teachers under “very great pressure to focus on academic subjects”.on the other hand, the education act 2011，which came into force in november, places
