At CareerPlanner.com we believe that each individual, regardless of (不管) race or religion, has a purpose in life, and until you discover what your purpose is, you will not find true happiness, nor true job satisfaction.
This doesn’t mean you won’t be successful. It just means you won’t be happy until you are moving towards your true purpose.
Unfortunately, our school system does very little to help students discover their true career. This is where online personality tests and career tests can help.
Online personality tests and career tests can help you better understand what type of work you should be doing to achieve job satisfaction, happiness, and success.
Personality tests are most useful in giving you insight into “how” your personality compares to others and “how” you like to work.
In particular, if you frequently experience difficulty working with others, or getting their support and cooperation, a really good personality test would show you how to get along better.
While personality tests are very useful at showing you how you like to work and how you like your work environment, they are not really designed to show you “what” type of work is right for you.
That is where Career Interest Tests come in. Online Career Tests, such as the CareerPlanner.com offers will help you discover what your true interests are, and what type of work you will be passionate (热诚的) about.
But back to personality tests. The most well-established personality tests are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator R, and the Enneagram.
小题1:The underlined word “insight” in the first paragraph means _____.
A.theory | B.demand | C.understanding | D.term |
A.find your true purpose in life | B.choose the best work |
C.get along well with others | D.adapt to the work environment |
A.to recommend some popular online personality tests |
B.to inform readers of online personality and career tests |
C.to tell the differences between some popular online tests |
D.to persuade people to take online personality or career tests |
A.The differences between personality tests and career tests. |
B.The similarities between personality tests and career tests. |
C.The reasons why personality and career tests are popular. |

The first is called the " tank(贮水池) test". A modem airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构)of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode (爆炸)in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.
The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.
小题1:By doing the "tank test", the engineers can find out _______.
A.the amount of air in the plane | B.the strength of the plane structure |
C.the pressure inside and outside the plane | D.the power of the airplane engines |
A.It will be broken. | B.It will be made stronger. |
C.It will be filled with water. | D.It will be tested by pilots, |
A.The plane may explode in the air. | B.The pilot may lose control of the plane. |
C.The engines may be damaged. | D.Too much air may get into the plane. |
A.Two Important Tests on Airplanes | B.The Importance of Flying Safely |
C.The Danger of Testing Airplanes | D.How Airplanes Are Made and Tested |
But there is a significant shortage of male teachers, especially in primary schools, with reports last month indicating that almost one in three primaries has an all-female teaching staff. The latest figures heightened fears that schools are becoming dominated (主宰) by women and children are being denied access to male role models in the classroom.
Researchers at the London School of Economics and Westminster University conducted an experiment in which each of 1,200 pupils in 29 schools was given £2. They could use the money to "buy" up to 10 questions at a cost of 20p each, which they then had to answer. If they were right they were given an extra 20p, but if they were wrong they lost 20p. Boys and girls who had a male teacher chose on average almost half a question more than those taught by women, indicating that they had a more positive outlook on the rewards of effort, the the study said.
Researchers wrote: "One of the most significant results featured in this experiment is the positive effect of male teachers on effort. The experiment suggests that higher ability pupils either believed that the teacher would reward them more favorably or had a preference for working hard to please the teacher."
According to the Good Teacher Training Guide, 86 per cent of new teachers entering primary schools are female, along with 62 per cent of those entering secondary schools.
Professor Alan Smithers, of Buckingham University, said: "This is an interesting and somewhat surprising finding, but it does underline the importance of having a good mix of male and female teachers in classes."

Benefits(好处) of television:
1. Television helps us to learn more about the world and to know and see many mew things. Television can offer present information to us in a more effective way than books. It can also make things more memorable.
2. It entertains (使欢乐) us. It is an enjoyable way to relax. For millions of people around the world, television is a source of companionship and helps them to cope with everyday life.
3. It has increased the popularity of sports and arts.
4. It has made us aware of our global responsibilities. In 2000, for example, 1.5billion people in 147 countries watched a TV pop concert and helped to collect more than $100million for people in Africa.
Dangers:
1. Television can make us passive (消极的). We don"t have to think and our brains become lazy.
2. It encourages us to buy things that we don’t need, and can make us unhappy with our own life.
3. It takes time away from activities such as reading, conversation, and games.
4. It gives a false picture of society. A study in 2003 showed that people who watch a lot of TV are more afraid of crime. They also think that there is a lot more crime than there really is .
5. Some critics(批评家) say that television make people violent. A ten-year study in the United States showed that children who watch violent television programmes are more likely to be violent themselves.

We all know that modern fridges cause damage to the environment. They work by using a kind of man-made greenhouse gas called Freon (氟里昂), which is far more damaging than carbon dioxide.
Now Malcolm McCulloch, an electrical engineer at Oxford, is leading a three-year project to develop appliances that can be used in places without electricity.
His team has completed a prototype (样机) of a fridge patented in 1930 by Einstein. It used only pressurized gases to keep things cold. The design was partly used in the first refrigerators, but the technology was dropped when more efficient compressors (压缩机) became popular in the 1950s. That meant a switch to using Freon.
Einstein"s idea uses butane (丁烷) and water and takes advantage of the fact that liquids boil at lower temperatures, when the air pressure around them is lower.
"If you go to the top of Mount Qomolangma, water boils at a much lower temperature than it does when you"re at sea level and that"s because the pressure is much lower up there," said McCulloch.At one side is the evaporator (蒸发器), a bottle that contains liquid butane. "If you introduce a new vapor above the butane, the liquid boiling temperature decreases and, as it boils off, it takes energy from the surroundings to do so," says McCulloch. "That"s what makes it cold."
The gas fridges based on Einstein"s design were replaced by Freon-compressor fridges partly because Einstein"s design was not very efficient. But McCulloch thinks that by changing the design and replacing the types of gases used it will be possible to quadruple (翻两番) the efficiency.
However, McCulloch"s fridge is still in its early stages. "It"s very much a prototype," he said. "Give us another month and we"ll have it working."
小题1: According to the passage, an early invention by Albert Einstein _______.
A.has been rediscovered because it costs much less and works more efficiently |
B.is being redesigned because it could be used in places without electricity |
C.has just been found to be energy-saving and environmentally friendly |
D.will be fully made use of and become the fridge of the future |
A.Freon was used in fridges long before the 1950s. |
B.Freon is what makes current fridges big polluters. |
C.McCulloch thinks he could improve Einstein"s design by using other types of vapors. |
D.The fridge Malcolm McCulloch and his team designed will be put into production soon. |
A.changed the air pressure around it |
B.was tested on the top of Mount Everest |
C.increased the liquid boiling temperature |
D.used only pressurized gases to keep things cold |
A.serve as an explanation for the principle behind Einstein"s fridge |
B.give you the reason why Einstein"s fridge was not efficient |
C.tell you how to take advantage of low air pressure |
D.show you how Einstein"s fridge works |
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
小题1:How do you understand ‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,…’?
A.People don’t communicate without telephone. |
B.People communicate because of the creating of the telephone. |
C.People communicate more since telephone has been created. |
D.People communicate more because of more traffic. |
A.Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency. |
B.Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people. |
C.Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged. |
D.Mobile phones are part of people’s life. |
a. Point 1. b. Point2. c. Point3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.
A.c, d | B.a, e | C.a, c | D.b, e |
A.the TV screen | B.a fax machine |
C.the phone line hooked up to the computer | D.a microphone |
A.Phone Power | B.Kinds of Phone |
C.How to Use Phones | D.Advantage of Phones |
