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] there fore“因此，所以”，因果之意；however“然而，可是”，转折之意；nevertheless“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”。
