Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training.
Ideally, therefore, the choice of an occupation should be made even before the
choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, {{U}} {{U}} 1
{{/U}} {{/U}}, most people make several job choices during their working
lives, {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}because of economic and
industrial changes and partly to improve {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}}
{{/U}}position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should
{{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}enter into a broad flexible training
program that will fit them for a field of work rather than for a single
{{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}. Unfortunately,
many young people have to make career plans without benefit of help from a
competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing {{U}} {{U}}
6 {{/U}} {{/U}}about the occupational world, or themselves for that
matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss basis. Some drift from job
to job. Others {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}to work in which they
are unhappy and for which they are not fitted. One common
mistake is choosing an occupation for {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}}
{{/U}}real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students or their parents
for them choose the professional field, {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}}
{{/U}}both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the
extremely high educational and personal {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}}
{{/U}}The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "White-collar" job is no
good reason for choosing it as life's work. {{U}} {{U}} 11
{{/U}} {{/U}}, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large
proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the {{U}} {{U}}
12 {{/U}} {{/U}}of young people should give serious {{U}} {{U}}
13 {{/U}} {{/U}}to these fields. Before making an
occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants
{{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}life and how hard he is willing to
work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual
satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take {{U}} {{U}}
15 {{/U}} {{/U}}for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its
demands as well as its rewards.
【答案解析】[解析] therefore“因此，所以”，因果之意；however“然而，可是”，转折之意；never the less“然而，不过”，转折之意；moreover“而且，此外”，表示递进。前面讲到“一种职业的真实或想象的声誉并不是选择它作为毕生工作的理由”，这里也用了否定词“not”，可见前后句子为递进关系，应该选用“moreover”。
