It used to be that one followed in the footsteps of their father or grandfather or took over the family’s business when it came to making a career choice. These days, a career path can start anywhere and then veer off into something totally different.
Career choices must be realistic and well thought out. It is not uncommon for persons to start a career path and realize they have made a terrible mistake, feeling as if it may be too late to turn around. Not only does a career choice concern your strongest skills and interest, it is also something that you will be doing continuously to bring in income. This is why a career choice can be such a personal decision. Formerly it used to be unusual for someone to change occupations or careers more than once or twice in a lifetime; it is now even more unusual to keep the same career during someone’s working life.
There are a great many measures in helping one choose the right profession. A number of websites offering tools such as career tests and information, educational resources, resume services and the kind can be found. It is important for one to research one’s career in this changing economy situation, and choose the best from several related career choices.

举一反三
"We didn"t have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him．"All the food was slow．" "Where did you eat?" "It was a place called "at home"．" I explained．"Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn"t like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it．"
Some parents never owned their own houses, set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a credit card．
My parents have never driven me to soccer practice．This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer．I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed．We didn"t have a television in our house until I was 11．I was 13 when I tasted my first pizza; it was called "pizza pie"．When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered（粘贴）itself against my chin and burned that, too．It"s still the best pizza I ever had．
I delivered newspapers, six days a week ．The paper cost 7 cents, of which I got to keep 2 cents．I had to get up at 4:00 a．m．every morning．On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers．My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change．
If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren．
Growing up isn"t what it used to be, is it?
小题1:By saying "All the food was slow", the writer implies that ____．

| C．his grandma made food slowly |
| D．he had to wait for a long time for the fast food |
| A．his grandma would make something he liked |
| B．his grandma would buy him fast food |
| C．he would sit there waiting for his favourite pizza pie |
| D．he had to eat it or go without |
| A．tell his children there was no fast food in the past |
| B．tell us that life has been changing |
| C．tell us how hard it is to deliver newspapers |

Family reunions are a time we can take out of our busy schedules and spend quality time with our extended families（大家庭）．It is a time when we can make our sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and others we love a priority （首要事情）in our life．
Some reunions take place over a picnic lunch and some last a whole weekend．They can be costly and are sometimes crazy．But the truth is, when people you love grow up and move away, getting together for a family reunion and holding that family bond together is so important．
Family reunions build a renewed closeness as we mix with our relatives．We sit and talk about old times and listen to the stories that our older and wiser relatives love to share．As the children run and play and get to know each other, we sit and revisit our childhood memories and enjoy the short time we have together．
The best part of a family reunion is the time spent simply being around the people you care about A reunion shows how important it is to take time for each other．When you receive a family reunion invitation, make it a priority in your life．It"s a great chance to see your relatives once again, give them a big hug and enjoy the time you have with them．Life is too short not to!
小题1:What would be the best title for the passage?
| A．How to attend a family reunion? | B．What is a family reunion? |
| C．Tips for a family reunion． | D．Make time to attend a family reunion． |
| A．talk with your wife or husband | B．get together with your relatives |
| C．communicate with your children | D．have a dinner with your parents |
| A．solve your problems | B．kill time when you are bored |
| C．improve the relation with your relatives | D．find more relatives who live far away |

| B．Family reunions are common． |
| C．Our life is very short． |
| D．Attending family reunions is uneasy． |
Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils．The standards may be changed because no examination is perfect, but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards．There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers．This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher．Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected school? And from families known to them, a form of favouritism will replace equality．At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates(毕业证） to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability（不合适）of a dull child attending a well-respected school．This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school"s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child form the favoured school．
The opponents（反对者）of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils．According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class．They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection．The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer．
小题1:The underlined word "favouritism" in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that ___．
| A．bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs． |
| B．children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs |
| C．poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets |
| D．children attending ordinary schools achieve great success |
| A．Schools for bright children would lose their reputation． |
| B．There would be more opportunities and excellence． |
| C．Children from poor families would be able to change their schools． |
| D．Children"s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation． |
| A．jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection |
| B．computers should be selected to take over many jobs |
| C．special classes are necessary to keep the school standards |
| D．schools with academic subjects should be done away with |
| A．schools and certificates | B．examinations and equality |
| C．opportunity and employment | D．standards and reputation |
I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers－that they make money from the misfortune of others.
“I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor,” he says to me.” Be honest. What do you make?”

How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best?

I hope I haven’t called at a bad time.
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
Billy said, “Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you?”
And it was the bravest act I have ever seen.

Let me make this simple for you, so you know what I say is true:
I make a great difference! What about you?
