My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. Ive never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More importantly, I earned my pay, it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didnt want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a mans job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood cottage with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊) one of the most important things a person could have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dream of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of tree branch and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field-except now I was driving golf halls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.26.

As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and finally make you an emotional wreck(受到严重伤害的人) and a bitter person.36. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _.A. think of nothing but their salary B. are not aware of their own potentialC. have ruined their talents D. have taken on an unsuitable job37.

Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?A. Your job must set a pattern of life.B. Your job must suit your interest.C. Your job must offer you a high salary.D. Your job must not ruin your talents.39. The best title for this passage would be _.A. How to Choose a Job B. Faming a LivingC. Correct Attitude on Job-hunting D. What Can a Good Job Offer40. The word pathetic in Paragraph 2 most probably means _.A. pitiful B. ordinary C. splendid D. touchingDMany people are already planning to look for a new position when the job market picks up(有起色), but the way you quit can have a long term impact on your career. How to resign on good terms(关系好):Be prepared.Review your employee handbook or employment contract before announcing your decision, so you know what company policy is regarding resignations, severance(离职费), the return of company property and pay for unused vacation time. If you have another job lined up, be sure to have your offer in writing before you resign.Use it or lose it.If you havent used vacation time and will lose it if you quit, you might want to use your time before leaving or link it to your resignation date. But if you dont want to burn any bridges, never announce your departure just after returning from vacation.Make an appointment.Be formal and make an appointment with your boss. Prepare what you want to say. Be direct and be transparent. After the discussion, put your resignation in a hardcopy letter that includes your last day and any transitional help youve offered. Keep a copy. Two weeks advance notice is still standard but experts recommend offering more time if youve worked at the company for more than five years. You also need to be prepared to leave right away-some companies require it.Scrub(刷洗) your digital footprint.Clear your browser cache, remove passwords to Web sites you use from work, such as your personal email or online bank account and delete any personal flies on your work computer that arent relevant to work. Dont delete anything work related if youre required to keep it.Stay close.Consider joining an employee alumni association, which often serves as a networking group for former employees. It can be a good way to keep up with changes in the company and industry and find leads to new jobs down the road. Keep in touch with coworkers you worked closely with; they may end up in management roles.41. How many ways of resigning are mentioned in the passage?A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.42.
