When you select your career, there is a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas:1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers?I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy?This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you’ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anywhere, these are a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.21. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph One mean?A. You should ignore your skills when you select jobs.B. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your position.C. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select jobs.D. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select jobs.22. In a job search, what quality is not mentioned in the passage?A. Cooperative.B. Passionate.C. Outgoing.D. Motivated.23. What could be the best title for this passage?A. Job Skills and Abilities.B. Personalities and Jobs.C. Lifestyles and Job Pay.D. Jobs and Environment.BJust a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London. The flight had been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take-off. I had my iPod in place and a new book to read. Then, over the loudspeaker came the pilot’s voice, “The ground crew has found a metal instrument in one tire. We regret that we must cancel this flight.”The passengers’ reactions that announcement led to were interesting. One man close to me began to argue with a flight attendant. A couple in another row complained loudly. A businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers responded differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the overhead compartments(行李舱). A teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sitting next to me laughed and said “Hey, it’s not the end of the world”before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them. The wisest among us have a remarkable ability to maintain grounded when times get tough.No life is perfect; mine certainly isn’t. We all must face challenges, both large and small. You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances. We always have the choice to be strong and kind when things fall apart.That’s grace under pressure. My seatmate was right---things could have been so much worse. Anyway, I am safe. I have my health. I have two wonderful children. I have work I love and so much to be grateful for. Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home.24. What caused the passengers’ different reactions?A. The loudspeaker.B. The delay of the flight.C. The pilot’s announcement.D. The ground crew’s fault.25. What did the woman sitting next to the author do?A. She assisted a disabled woman.B. She told moving stories to her children.C. She made a phone call to her family.D. She helped others carry their luggage.26. What can we learn from the story?A. Our life is full of ups and downs.B. It is natural to be scared under pressure.C. We should be positive and calm when life is hard.D. We should help each other in times of difficulty.CWhen slaves were first brought over from West Africa to the southern parts of America, they brought along with them aspects of their own culture---religion, dance, language, music, and cuisine. A mix of the two cultures eventually appeared. The religious dance of the ring shout turned into modern dances like the Charleston, and tribal chants slowly transformed into sorrowful hymns(圣歌) sung by slaves that described their hardships.These soulful accounts by slaves of the severe climate and conditions began to be called “the blues”, which continued in popularity among African Americans after the Civil War. This music increased in popularity into the early 1900s when many black musicians became an important part of the music industry.The slaves that had been brought over were from all different regions of West Africa, but they worked together until they gradually formed a common culture. This strengthened the identity of their music that, in the 1950s, are often determined as the accelerator that resulted in the ideology(意识形态) surrounding music that is still around today. The freedom and individuality associated with that time period brought forth a whole culture surrounding music. It was not just music any more, but a lifestyle.Over the decades, music has developed into such a vital part of society and pop culture. Musicians are glorified, with tons of adoring and screaming fans. The modern technology of present day has allowed for a greater gap between the creator of the music and the fans, as well as a widespread commercialization of music. However, criticisms of modern pop music often arises due to its mass production, and now there is a lack of the same soul and quality of naturalness and simplicity in music that was rising in the early 20th century.27. What contributed to the birth of the Charleston?A. A mix of two different cultures.B. The popularity of sorrowful hymns.CA. Various African religions. D. People’s love of tribal dances.28. According to the passage, what can we learn about the blues?A. It may include the description of slaves’ sad life.B. It mainly told the stories of the American Civil War.C. It reflected the hard lives of many black musicians.D. It became popular in the late 20th century.29. What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to?A. Slaves’ collective work.B. One region of West Africa.C. The music by the Beatles.D. The new common culture.30. It can be learned that the music in the early 20th century .A. was blamed for its mass production.B. possessed soul and sincerity.C. became more commercialized.D. widened the gap between musicians and fans.第二节：七选五（10分，每小题2分）Are you headed for college soon? 31 Here are some tips every college student should know.1.
