Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here 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 uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There 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 situation.

2) How do you handle change?

Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.

3) Do you enjoy working with computers？

I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There 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 day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.

4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？

This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.

5) How do you like to get paid?

Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.

Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It 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.

Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia found.

Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.

“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia. They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.

“No matter how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.

Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000. “Employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.

They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.

“These findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocations-as little as $5 may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.

      "Most episodes (经历) of absent-mindedness -- forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room -- are caused by a simple lack of attention," says Schacter.  "You are supposed to remember something, but you haven't encoded (编号) it deeply."

      Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don't pay attention to what you did because you are involved in a conversation, you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜). "Your memory itself isn't failing you," says Schacter.  "Rather, you didn't give your memory system the information it needed."

      Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness.  "A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago," says Zelinski , "may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox." Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.

     Visual clues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. "But be sure the cue (暗示) is clear and available," he warns. If you want to remember to take medicine with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table -- don't leave it in the medicine box and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.

     Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you are there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else.  "Everyone does this from time to time," says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you'll likely remember.

57. What is absent-mindedness mainly caused by?

   A. Lack of interest.   B. Lack of attention  C. Walking into a room. D. Visual clues.

58. Which of the following is an absent-minded symptom?

   A. Walking into a room to find where you are.  

B. Leaving the clue in the medicine bottle.

   C. Forgetting to drop a letter into the mailbox. 

 D. Reciting sports statistics 30 years ago.

59. What can help prevent absent-mindedness?

   A. Trying to remember something as much as possible. 

B. Returning to where you were.

   C. Encoding something deeply in your mind.  

D. Showing more interest in something.

60. According to the two experts, what can help people to remember

   something?

   A. Cues.        B. Bottles.          C. Environment.         D. Statistics.
