careerplanner. com we believe that each individual （个人），regardless of （不管）race or religion, has a purpose in life, and until you discover what your purpose is, you will not find true happiness, nor true job satisfaction.this doesnt mean you wont be successful. it just means you wont be happy until you are moving towards your true purpose.unfortunately, our school system does very little to help students discover their true career. this is where online personality tests and career tests can help.online personality tests and career tests can help you better understand what type of work you should be doing to achieve job satisfaction, happiness, and success.personality tests are most useful in giving you insight into “how your personality compares to others and “how you like to work.in particular, if you frequently experience difficulty working with others, or getting their support and cooperation, a really good personality test would show you how to get along better.while personality tests are very useful at showing you how you like to work and how you like your work environment, they are not really designed to show you what type of work is right for you.that is where career interest tests come in. online career tests, such as the careerp offers will help you discover what your true interests are, and what type of work you will be passionate about.but back to personality tests. the most well-established personality tests are the myers-briggs type indicator r, and the enneagram.28. the underlined word insight in the first paragraph means .a. theoryb. demandc. understandingd. term29. you cant achieve true job satisfaction unless you .a. find your true purpose in life b. choose the best workc. get along well with others d. adapt to the work environment30. the writers purpose in writing this passage is .a. to present some popular online personality testsb. to tell readers about online personality and career testsc. to tell the differences between some popular online testsd. to persuade people to take online personality or career tests31. what will the writer most probably talk about next?a. the differences between personality tests and career tests.b. the similarities between personality tests and career tests.c. the reasons why personality and career tests are popular.d. the details of the two most well-established personality tests.deducating girls and young women is a necessary act for a peaceful and poverty-free world. until we give them equal access to a good quality education, the world will continue to suffer from the serious consequences of child marriage, disease, and inequalities.education is linked to the age at which women marry and have children. in sub-saharan africa and in south and west asia, child marriage affects one in eight girls; one in seven gives birth by the age of 17. education can give these girls a say in their life choicesby giving them the confidence to speak up for their rights, and to demand the opportunity to continue their studies.studies show that if all girls in sub-saharan africa and south and west asia had primary education, there would be 14 percent fewer child marriages. if all girls received secondary education, 64 percent fewer girls would be locked into marriage at an age when they should still be in school.moreover, education is closely linked to health. there is strong evidence that educated girls are far more likely to be able to protect their children from preventable diseases, and to avoid malnutrition(营养不良)in their childrens early years. malnutrition is not only about food: it starts with poverty, which can be avoided if women receive the education they need to earn a living. when a young woman becomes a wage-earner(挣工资的人) for her family, she has a better likelihood of taking effective action to get rid of poverty.providing girls with a quality education also equips them with the confidence to challenge the inequalities that still exist for girls and women worldwide. consider mariam khalique, a teacher in pakistan who has used education to build her female studentsconfidence and to encourage them to stand up for their rights. one of her pupils was the young education activist malala yousafzai, whose global advocacy work is proof of the transformative power of quality schooling.educating girls and young women is still one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. however, we must remember that education transforms lives.32.what purpose do the figures in paragraph 3 serve?a. to encourage more girls to take over their lives.b. to show education can prevent child marriage.c. to describe the unhappiness of child marriage.d. to prove more girls are receiving education.33.what does the author mean by “education is closely linked to health” in paragraph 4?a. malnourished kids should receive better education.b. education lets kids know how to prevent diseases.c. educated mothers can make their kids healthier.d. healthy girls are likely to get more education.34.what can we learn about khalique?a. she was taught by yousafzai. b. she is a fighter for female rights.c. she has created a new teaching method. d. she offers quality schooling worldwide.35.which of the following shows the structure of the text?第二节 七选五（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分） at the end of a long day, its all too easy to take a hot shower, brush your teeth, and then jump into bed. _36_ as it turns out, going to bed with wet hair isnt as harmless as you probably thought.the first negative result of sleeping with wet hair is purely cosmetic (美容). _37_ lf you try to style your hair in the morning after sleeping on it wet, youre probably going to have trouble styling the resulting curliness (卷曲), funny waves, and flat sides.when
