Career building is an ongoing activity．Planning and goal setting are part of career building，but so is adjusting to and taking advantage of things that happen in all unplanned way．Our dreams and desires，as well as the opportunities open to us，are changing all the time．Sometimes，they can change quite dramatically over a short period of time．
Dealing with change often requires taking your career in a different direction．Therefore，most people’s career paths wind up looking more like a forest path or the course of a river than a straight flight path from point A to point B．Career paths tend to meander．Just as a river must take an indirect path to get around hills and other obstacles(障碍物)，we often have to do a little meandering to get around barriers．We also meander simply to explore various career possibilities．
This doesn’t mean that you should wander aimlessly for the rest of your life! It does mean that，although career building gives you an overall sense of direction，it's reasonable to expect that you’ll have to take some meandering along the way．
Career building involves maneuvering as well as meandering．To maneuver is to be focused and strategic(策略的)，to decide what you want and how you are going to get there．Believe it or not，you can maneuver and meander at the same time．In fact，you have probably already done so．For example，if you’ve ever sent in an application form for an education program or job before you are really sure you want your application to be accepted，you have taken action on a plan while you are still exploring other possibilities．In other words，you are maneuvering and meandering at the same time．
1．The passage is mainly to _______．
A．tell you how to gain more control over your life
B．give you a better understanding of yourself
C．show you how to take an active role in planning your career
D．help you to deal with things that happen in an unplanned way
2．The underlined word “meander”(in Paragraph 2)most probably means ______．
A．move away B．go round C．get through D．run over
3．What can we learn from the passage?
A．There are seldom straight lines in the course of career building．
B．Career path is like a flight path from point A to point B．
C．Most of our dreams and desires change in a short time．
D．More than half of us have to change our career directions．
4．When you are hunting for a job，you are supposed to _______．
A．take your career in different directions
B．avoid exploring various career possibilities
C．change your dreams and desires now and then
D．know your goal and try all possible ways to achieve it

Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War Ⅱ, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared; the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the need in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when .
A. he has saved up enough money
B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C. he has satisfied his hunger
D. he has learned to build houses
It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War Ⅱ, most Americans .
A. were very rich
B. lived in poverty
C. had the good things on the first three levels
D. did not own automobiles
Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction” ?
A. A successful career. B. A comfortable home.
C. A good meal. D. A family car.
What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?
A. The more goods the better.
B. The more mental satisfaction the better.
C. The more “luxury” items the better.
D. The more earnings the better.

Self – discipline （自律）
An elderly carpenter （木匠）was ready to retire. He told his employer his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely （悠闲的） life with his wife. The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He built the house carelessly and used inferior (较差的) materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career （职业）. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to inspect （视察）the house and handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. Think of yourself as the carpenter. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.
