　　When people become good at doing the things they like they find themselves.

　　Many young people are good at doing things they do not like, many other young people would like to do something at which they are not good. Also, many do not think they are good at anything, and do not know what they would like to do. None of them are happy.

　　It is impossible to decide whether one likes something until one has tried it. Trying something new is important.

　　Give each idea a fair chance. If you have decided to try out something new, also decided how long you will stick to it. Then you can make a fair decision.

　　The best thing to judge is not the final goal, but the work it takes you to reach that goal. Almost everybody would like to be highly skilled in something, but becoming highly skilled at anything calls for a great deal of time and effect.

　　Finding oneself means not only discovering what one is good at and what one likes; it also means discovering what one is not good at and does not like.

　　So trying something and failing can have its good side. It tells you that you are not fit for that particular area and should not use it as your goal.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　We believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job．Children must be prepared for all aspects(方面)of their adult life work, personal relationships, creative activities, dealing with money matters, independence, and parenthood．

　　But it would be unrealistic(不现实的)to provide an education which took no consideration of the needs of employers．

　　What type of training does the business world regard as important?

　　Many young people applying for jobs were, in the employers' opinions, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling．Though additional education at university level improved the students' general ability, a report states, "In basic skills the standards remained stubbornly low．"

　　There are different opinions about whether standards(标准)have gone down in recent years．What is certain is that employers do not believe the standard is now high enough．Do technological changes make greater demands upon the students' abilities?

　　We should also remember that the job expectations of young people have increased．The girls who would have once become shop assistants or hairdressers now want to be secretaries．Boys who sought an apprenticeship(学徒)20 years ago now desire to have an engineering degree．But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability．No wonder there are problems in reaching the "necessary standards" of the business world．

　　Many employers believed that it was important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school．They should work for a while at some other kinds of job "to see how the world of business are different form their own"．The teaching occupation and society in general needed a greater understanding of manpower needs and therefore of "the desired" direction of the education system．

　　Many young people want to become pop-stars．It is their great ambition(雄心)in life．They think：pop-stars earn a lot of money, they lead interesting and exciting lives．Thousands of fans adore(崇拜)them, they become famous．

　　Yes, but first they must become stars．Most performances start life with a group．This is the pattern(模式)at the present time．But there are many groups and competition is stiff(激烈的)．Groups appear and disappear almost overnight．Only a small number survive(生存)．Almost without exception(例外)they have to work very hard before they reach the top．
