The Choice of an Occupation
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.

单选题Estee Lauder Died
1 The child of Central European immigrants who created an international cosmetics(化妆品)empire and became one of the most influential women in US,has died on Saturday. Estee Lauder died at her home in Manhattan,New York City,a company spokeswoman said.She was 97.
2 Born in Queens, New York in 1908, Lauder was the daughter of a Hungarian mother and a Czech father.
3 Lauder began her business career by selling skincare products developed by her uncle John Schotz,a chemist,to beauty salons(美容院)and hotels. In 1930,she married Joseph Lauder who became her partner. The company, which became known as Estee Lauder,took off after World War II.
4 In 1953,the company introduced its first perfume(香水),Youth Dew,the first of a range of fragrances that has now grown to more than 70.They include:Aramis,a line of products for men,launched in 1964;and Clinique,a range of odourless(无嗅的)cosmetics, which followed in 1968.
5 By the time she retired in 1995,Lauder was presiding over a multibillion-dollar enterprise,
which now ranks number 349 in the Fortune 500 list of largest US companies.In 1998, she was
the only woman to feature in Time magazine’s selection of the 20 most important business geniuses of the last century.There were two secrets to her success: her gift for selling things and her tireless energy and determination never to accept second best.
6 Even after her retirement at the age of 89,Lauder remained closely involved.Beauty, Lauder believed,was the most important thing in life.
7 She wrote in her 1985 autobiography,“Estee,a Success Story”:“In a perfect world, we’d all be judged on the sweetness of our souls . But in our less than perfect world, the woman who looks pretty has a distinct advantage and,usually,the last word.”

单选题Sleep For millions of years before the appearance of the electric light, shift work, all-night cable TV and the Internet, Earth's creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24-hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle. Simply put, our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives. (Contrary to popular belief, humans don't need less sleep as they age.) But in average, Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night, a marked drop from the nine hours they averaged in 1910. What's worse, nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people, that's not nearly enough. Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and sleeping in, by traveling frequently between time zones or by working nights. Dr. James F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed as other discomforts. About one third of the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. "Before we do anything else, we look at their sleep," Jones says. Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns. "My motto (座右铭) is 'Sleep defensively' ," says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep, even if it means giving up other things. Sleep routines—like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day—are important. Pre-bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elaner, who used to suffer from sleeplessness, a few lifestyle changes—avoiding stimulants and late meals, exercising hours before bedtime, relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep.

A Country's Standard of Living{{/B}}
The "standard of living" of any country means the average person's share
of the goods and services the country produces. A country's standard of
living,{{U}} (51) {{/U}}, depends on its capacity to produce wealth.
"Wealth"{{U}} (52) {{/U}}this sense is not money, for we do not live on
money{{U}} (53) {{/U}}on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food
and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.
A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most
of{{U}} (54) {{/U}}have an effect on one another. Wealth depends{{U}}
(55) {{/U}}a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some
regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have fertile
(肥沃的) soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess none of
them. Next to natural resources{{U}} (56) {{/U}}the
ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well-off{{U}} (57)
{{/U}}the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil
and external wars, and.{{U}} (58) {{/U}}this and other reasons was{{U}}
(59) {{/U}}to develop her resources. Sound and stable political
conditions, and{{U}} (60) {{/U}}from foreign invasions, enable a country
to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more
wealth than another country equally well favoured by nature but less well
ordered. A country's standard of living does not only depend
upon the wealth that is produced and consumed. {{U}}(61) {{/U}}its own
borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade.{{U}}
(62) {{/U}}, Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural
products would be much less if she had to depend only on{{U}} (63)
{{/U}}grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus (过剩的) manufactured
goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would.{{U}} (64)
{{/U}}be lacking. A country's wealth is, therefore, much{{U}} (65)
{{/U}}by its manufacturing capacity, provided (如果) that other countries can
be found ready to accept its manufactures.
