2、宿舍生活。（分数：106.00）_二、Part Reading Compr(总题数：1，分数：70.00)Seven Steps to a More Fulfilling JobMany people today find themselves in unfulfilling work situations. In fact, one in four workers is dissatisfied with their current job, according to the recent “Plans for 2004“ survey. Their career path may be f
3、inancially rewarding, but it doesnt meet their emotional, social or creative needs. Theyre stuck, unhappy, and have no idea what to do about it, except move to another job.Mary Lyn Miller, veteran career consultant and founder of the Life and Career Clinic, says that when most people are unhappy abo
4、ut their work, their first thought is to get a different job. Instead, Miller suggests looking at the possibility of a different life. Through her book, 8 Myths of Making a Living, as well as workshops, seminars and personal coaching and consulting, she has helped thousands of dissatisfied workers r
5、eassess life and work.Like the way of Zen, which includes understanding of oneself as one really is, Miller encourages job seekers and those dissatisfied with work or life to examine their beliefs about work and recognize that “in many cases your beliefs are what brought you to where you are today“.
6、 You may have been raised to think that women were best at nurturing and caring and, therefore, should be teachers and nurses. So thats what you did. Or, perhaps you were brought up to believe that you should do what your father did, so you have taken over the family business, or become a dentist “j
7、ust like dad“. If this sounds familiar, its probably time to look at the new possibilities for your future.Miller developed a 7-step process to help potential job seekers assess their current situation and beliefs, identify their real passion, and start on a journey that allows them to pursue their
8、passion through work.Step 1: Willingness to do something different.Breaking the cycle of doing what you have always done is one of the most difficult tasks for job seekers. Many people find it difficult to steer away from a career path or make a change, even if it doesnt feel right. Miller urges job
9、 seekers to open their minds to other possibilities beyond what they are currently doing.Step 2: Commitment to being who you are, not who or what someone wants you to be.Look at the gifts and talents you have and make a commitment to pursue those things that you love most. If you love the social asp
10、ects of your job, but are stuck inside an office or “chained to your desk“ most of the time, vow to follow your instinct and investigate alternative careers and work that allow you more time to interact with others. Dawn worked as a manager for a large retail clothing store for several years. Though
11、 she had advanced within the company, she felt frustrated and longed to be involved with nature and the outdoors. She decided to go to school nights and weekends to pursue her true passion by earning her masters degree in forestry. She now works in the biotech forestry division of a major paper comp
12、any.Step 3: Serf-definition.Miller suggests that once job seekers know who they are, they need to know how to sell themselves. “In the job market, you are a product. And just like a product, you most know the features and benefits that you have to offer a potential client, or employer. “ Examine the
13、 skills and knowledge that you have and identify how they can apply to your desired occupation. Your qualities will exhibit to employers why they should hire you over other candidates.Step 4: Attain a level of self-honoring.Self-honoring or self-love may seem like an odd step for job hunters, but be
14、ing able to accept yourself, without judgment, helps eliminate insecurities and will make you more self-assured. By accepting who you areall your emotions, hopes and dreams, your personality, and your unique way of beingyoull project more confidence when networking and talking with potential employe
15、rs. The power of self-honoring can help to break all the falsehoods you were programmed to believethose that made you feel that you were not good enough, or strong enough, or intelligent enough to do what you truly desire.Step 5: Vision.Miller suggests that job seekers develop a vision that embraces
16、 the answer to “What do I really want to do?“ One should create a solid statement in a dozen or so sentences that describe in detail how they see their life related to work. For instance, the secretary who longs to be an actress describes a life that allows her to express her love of Shakespeare on
17、stage. A real estate agent, attracted to his current job because he loves fixing up old homes, describes buying properties that need a little tender loving care to make them more saleable.Step 6: Appropriate risk.Some philosophers believe that the way to enlightenment comes through facing obstacles
18、and difficulties. Once people discover their passion, many are too scared to do anything about it. Instead, they do nothing. With this step, job seekers should assess what they are willing to give up, or risk, in pursuit of their dream. For one working morn, that means taking night classes to learn
19、new computer-aided design skills, while still earning a salary and keeping her day job. For someone else, it may mean quitting his or her job, taking out loan and going back to school full time. Youll move one step closer to your ideal work life if you identify how much risk you are willing to take
20、and the sacrifices you are willing to make.Step 7: Action.Some teachers of philosophy describe action in this way, “If one wants to get to the top of a mountain, just sitting at the foot thinking about it will not bring one there. It is by making the effort of climbing up the mountain, step by step,
21、 that eventually the summit is reached“. All too often, it is the lack of action that ultimately holds people back from attaining their ideals. Creating a plan and taking it one step at a time can lead to new and different job opportunities. Job-hunting tasks gain added meaning as you sense their im
22、portance in your quest for a more meaningful work life. The plan can include researching industries and occupations, talking to people who are in your desired area of work, taking classes, or accepting volunteer work in your targeted field.Each of these steps will lead you on a journey to a happier
23、and more rewarding work life. After all, it is the journey, not the destination, that is most important.（分数：70.00）(1).According to the recent “Plans for 2004“ survey, most people are unhappy with their current jobs.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_(2).Mary Lyn Millers job is to advise people on their life and career
