What should you think about when trying to find your career？You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show the strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school.On the other hand，you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills，such as typing or technical drawing，which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part?time job on Saturdays or in the summer，think what you gained from it.If nothing else，you may have learned how to get to work on time，to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learned to give correct change in a shop，for example.Just as important，you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part?time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be_ all_ thumbs when you handle tools；perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record，for instance，may not be too good，yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的)about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

黄冈天天练口算题卡系列答案What is waste and why does it matter?
Waste or rubbish is something that people throw away because they no longer need it or want it. Almost everything we do creates waste and as a society we are currently producing more waste than ever before. We do this at home and at work. The fact that we produce waste, and get rid of it, matters for the following reasons.
When something is thrown away we lose the natural resources, the energy and the time which have been used to make the product. The vast majority of resources that we use in manufacturing products and providing services cannot be replaced. The use of these resources cannot go on indefinitely— we would run out.
When something is thrown away, we are putting pressure on the environment's ability to cope— in terms of the additional environmental impacts associated with extracting the new resources, manufacturing and distributing the goods, and in terms of the environmental impacts associated with getting rid of our rubbish.
When something is thrown away, we are not able to see it as a resource. It is well understood that what is waste to one person may not be viewed as waste by another. A good example of this is scrap metal（金属废料）which has been recycled for many years. Increasingly people are realizing that it makes economic sense as well as environmental sense to use "waste" rather than just throw it away.
The process of using up the earth's natural resources to make products which we then throw away, sometimes a very short time later, is not "sustainable" — in other words, it cannot continue indefinitely.
The way we consume materials will affect whether we have a sustainable society that leaves resources available for future generations to use. As consumers and producers, we are central to the concept of sustainability. We need to think about how we can get more out of less, how we can use less and throw away less and how we can do better things with our so-called "waste" than throw it away. We need to see "waste" as a "resource".
