when you select your career, theres a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular positionif you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the jobs paythere are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good jobhere are a few of those main areas;1） do you prefer working alone or with other people?there are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasymost people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they preferthere 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 situation2） how do you handle change?most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than othersif you need to be stable in your life, you may need a job where the changes dont happen so oftenother people would be bored of the same daily routine3） do you enjoy working with computers？i do see this as a kind of personality characteristicthere 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 dayagain, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well4） 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 quickly5） how do you like to get paid?some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like thatthe variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for thisanyway, these are a great starting point for youive seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they loveit 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( )67what is unnecessary in your job hunting?aassessing your skillsbgoing to different areascmatching your skills with a positiondtaking your personality into consideration( )68what is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?adesign bchanges ccooperation dhobbiesskillsjobs environment motivationstability ? ( )69. the underlined word in the passage means:a. not likely to move or changeb. calm, reasonable and not easy to upset c. being in the same chemical state d. a group of people working for the same company( )70what is the best title for this passage? alifestyles and job pay bjobs and environment cjob skills and abilities dpersonalities and jobscalmost all theme park accidents can be prevented. here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.if you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them how they should behave. they are depending upon you to keep them safe. set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too. tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle. make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too. and never put a crying child on a ride. if your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do. young kids cant keep an adults pace in a theme park. let them take plenty of breaks. “kids get tired,” said tpi reader matt johnson, a father of four. “tired kids make parents even more tired. and tired kids and parents may get hurt physically and emotionally.” he advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds. “you will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.” ( )63. the second paragraph tells readers that . a. children should be trained to be more independent b. adults should tell children some safety rules firstly c. adults should set a good example to behave well in a theme park d. there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park( )64. which of the following is not right for children who are taking the rides? a. they cannot put their hands away from the grab bar. b. they are forbidden to put their knees or feet out. c. they should ask adults permission first to get on a ride. d. without adults okay sign, children shouldnt get off a ride. ( )65. if your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should . a. tell him to be relaxed b. make him share your interest c. give up the present activity d. encourage him to be brave ( )66. we may infer from matt johnsons words that . a. he doesnt like to visit a theme park with his children b. parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme park c. not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme park d. visitors should arrange everything carefully before startingive reported about tigers on the news, however, nothing could have prepared me for what i found in india. i didnt know what to expect, so when i saw my first tiger in the wild, i was shocked. what a beautiful and powerful creature it is! but they live with a price on their heads a single tiger skin is worth up to 8,000, and their bones possibly more. another problem is that farmers need to clear a large number of areas of the forest for their cattle. this means deer are losing their living places. as a result, tigers are losing their natural prey, so they end up eating the cattle. tigers are not easy to live close to. i met a farmer who had been mauled by one. but despite (尽管) that, he told me everything had its place in the world and he had no right to kill the tiger. he was really kind. those who work for the tigers forever project realize that to ensure their survival, tigers dont only need space. they need space away from people. they are working to stop the conflict (冲突) between tigers and people by separating them. i visited a new town. people had been moved to it from a settlement in the forest. and it really has worked. it has given tigers a better life and better opportunities for the children of the resettled people.only 2,500 tigers are now left in the wild in india. three out of eight tiger sub-species have already disappeared. tigers that once lived across asia only survive in 7% of their original living places now. ( )67. what does the underlined word “mauled” mean?a. hunted.b. injured. c. frightened.d. killed.( )68. the following statements are all the factors reducing the population of tigers except that .a. financial gain drives some people to hunt tigersb. tigers food chain is being destroyed c. the living places of tigers are disappearingd. people live far from where tigers live( ) 69. we can
