23、ople get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. 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
24、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
25、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 neve
26、r 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 so
27、cial 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
28、but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人) and a bitter person.（分数：10.00）(1).The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _.（分数：2.00）A.have ruined their talentsB.have taken on an unsuitable jobC.think of nothing but their salaryD.are n

30、idance(3).Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Your job must suit your interest.B.Your job must set a pattern of life.C.Your job must offer you a high salary.D.Your job must not ruin your talents.(4).The best title for this passage would be _.（分数：2.
31、00）A.What Can a Good Job OfferB.Earning a LivingC.Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD.How To Choose a Job(5).The word “pathetic“ in paragraph 2 most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.splendidB.miserableC.disgustedD.touching五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Persons who are overweight should watch their diet carefull
32、y in order to lose pounds. The best way to do this is to start a weight control program. At first it is wise to talk with your doctor. He can advise you of the number of calories (卡路里) you should have in your meals each day. He can tell you about exercising while on your diet. A good rule is to lose
33、 slowly. A loss of a pound or two is plenty. Plan meals around foods you know. This means that it is wise to include foods that you are used to and that are part of your regular eating habits. When you have lost the weight you wish, simple items can be added to your diet so that you can maintain the
34、 weight you want. While you are dieting, try to build a pattern of eating that you can follow later to maintain your desired weight. When dieting, choose low-calorie foods. Avoid such items as fats, fried food, sweets, cakes, cream and soft drinks. Try to take coffee and tea without sugar or cream.
35、Snacks can be part of your diet. For example, a piece of fruit or a simple dessert saved from mealtime can be eaten between meals. Keep busy! This way you will not be tempted to go off the diet. Make full use of opportunities to exercise. Try walking instead of riding whenever possible. Happy dietin
