     Too often young people 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 in doing
jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.
     Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they
can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for 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 what they want and realizing their own abilities.
The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational (职业的)
guidance in our educational institution. Nearly allfeel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when
they lookfor a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother tothink whether they are suited for
the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more thanmerely providing
yourself and your dependants (受赡养者)with daily bread and some money for leisure and
entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of
friends, leisure and interest.
     In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest.
Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your
talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.
1. Few school leavers have plans for the long term when finding jobs because ________.
A. they are lowly paid
B. they are not well trained
C. it is difficult to get employed
D. they don't know what they are interested in
2. According to the passage, the difficulty in choosing a suitable job mainly lies in that ________.
A. much competition has to be faced
B. many employees have no working experience
C.  the young people only care about how much they        can earn
D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance
3. In the writer's opinion, which of the following statements     is most important?
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.

     Too much TVwatching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting
a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
     One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California thirdgraders. Those with TVs in their
bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without
bedroom TVs.
     A second study, looking at nearly 1, 000 grownups in New Zealand, found lower education levels
among 26yearolds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don't prove that TV
is the cause and don't rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人) may watch lots of TV.
     Their study measured the TV habits of 26yearolds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college
degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood,
compared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
     In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest,
while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
     While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to
accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.
1. According to the California study, the lowscoring group might ________.
A. have watched a lot of TV
B. not be interested in math
C. be unable to go to college
D. have had computers in their bedrooms
2. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?
A. Poorly motivated 26yearolds watch more TV.
B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.
C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15yearolds.
D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.
3. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. More time should be spent on computers.
B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.
C. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.
D. Further studies on highachieving students should be done.
4. What would be the best title for this text?
A. Computers or Television
B. Effects of Television on Children
C. Studies on TV and College Education
D. Television and Children's Learning Habits

     Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is why

money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very
valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend
know better.

school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in
solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in
your friend's place so you can understand the problem later.

     Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending   that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our
hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven't listened carefully
enough. We get things wrong because we haven't listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven't quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever
taken the minutes of a   long meeting will know how hard it is to remember-despite the benefit of
notes-exactly what everyone said. But success depends on getting things right-and that means listening.
     Listening is not the same thing as hearing which is not quite an effort. It demands attention and
concentration. It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification-it is always
better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you allow your mind to
wander onto something else, even for a few minutes, you'll miss what the speaker is saying -probably
at the very moment when he or she  is saying something critical. And not having heard, you won't know
you've missed anything until it's too late.
     The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the
subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds
rudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt
to say it. Good listeners don't interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have
just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is offended by this and it shows that
you have listened well.
Above all, be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators. It's helpful to
remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a
great deal about what they are saying. Equally important you should put yourself in the other person's
place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what_they_are_getting_at and
form a response. But don't be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they
see no point in continuing.
1. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Don't be too clever
B. Be a good listener
C. Don't miss anything critical
D. Think of the speaker
2. In the last paragraph, the underlined words mean ________.
A. what they imply
B. what they like
C. what they attack
D. what they achieve
3. According to the passage, which of the following is the  writer's opinion?
A. If you want to be a good listener, you should be very clever and emotional.
B. Speakers won't continue talking when their listeners explain what they’ve heard.
C. If you don't want to get things wrong, it's important to be a good listener.
D. It's hard to be a good listener because listening tests you on your intelligence.
4. What is the lesson we can learn from this passage?
A. Don't accuse others of not listening while talking with them.
B. Don't get anything wrong if you miss what the speaker is saying.
C. Listening inattentively may cost you the loss of your success.
D. Think carefully of what you're going to say before the speaker finishes.
