单选题{{B}}Passage 3{{/B}}
Too often young people get themselves
employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for
promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs
that afford them little or no satisfaction. (80) {{U}}Our school leavers face so
much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a
living.{{/U}} Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one
to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the
university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.
Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and
realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that
there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational
institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they
look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether
they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them.
Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with
daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of
life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends,
leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first
consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more
{{U}}pathetic{{/U}} than taking on a job in which you hive no interest, for it will
not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents
and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人) and a bitter
person.

单选题Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna (天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. "What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism (代谢) (a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna," said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.
Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation (电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. "This study does not in any way indicate
that
. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures." Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1955s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.
Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow"s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.
Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. "Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation," Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. "Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects." They wrote.
