Question

【题目】 You may feel pressured to plan out your whole life before you start applying to colleges. 【1】Though some people have well-focused career goals early in life, others don't — and they still find their way to the right job.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了在上大学之前要考虑职业规划，保持灵活性是你的正确选择，并从四个方面给出了职业规划的建议。

【1】根据前句You may feel pressured to plan out your whole life before you start applying to colleges.可知，在你开始申请大学之前，你可能会感到有压力去计划你的一生。由此可知，本句为承接上文，继续说明“计划一生”的压力是大多数人都经历过的。故C选项“但大多数人都经历过这种压力”符合上下文语境，故选C。

【2】根据前句The world changes so fast that new careers appear all the time, while others become less common.可知，世界变化如此之快，新职业层出不穷，而其他职业却越来越少。由此可知，因为世界变化快速，所以必须注意自己在职业上的发展。故G选项“注意你兴趣上的变化和职业上的发展”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【3】根据后文Even jobs sounding ideal will probably involve some things you dislike.可知，即使是听起来很理想的工作也会涉及到一些你不喜欢的事情。由此可知，你的技能和兴趣与工作并不一定是完美搭配的。故B选项“不会有一个完美的搭配”符合上下文语境，故选B。

【4】根据后句That's because as important as planning and research are, chance still plays a role. Keep an open mind, learn to tolerate some degree of uncertainly and watch for opportunity.(这是因为，与规划和研究同样重要的是，机遇仍然发挥着作用。保持开放的心态，学会容忍某种程度的不确定性，注意机会)结合本段标题You can only plan so far ahead.(你只能提前计划)可知，本句为说明你对你想做的事情的感觉可能不明了。故选D。

【5】此处为下一段的标题，结合该段内容Many people feel pulled to a job that's familiar, popular or profitable. In the long run, however, people are generally happier and more successful if they choose a career that matches their interests and strengths. Take the time to develop your interests and then look for a career that will satisfy and fulfill you.可知，许多人觉得自己被一份熟悉的、受欢迎的或有利可图的工作所吸引。然而，从长远来看，如果人们选择的职业符合他们的兴趣和优势，他们通常会更快乐，更成功。花点时间发展你的兴趣，然后找一份让你满意的工作。由此可知，本段强调的是自我满意度的关键性。故A选项“满意度是关键”符合上下文语境，故选A。
