                                          Career Choices - Keep Your Powder Dry
         Anywhere you look, it is apparent there is a wide and  deep selection of choices of a career.
    Whether it's a hand on position in construction or sitting behind the  desk working on a computer,
    everyone has some idea of what is an attractive career. However, while  making a career choice is
    not simply a matter of following a dream for some, for the majority it means a  lot of research and
    soul searching. Choosing and growing into the right career become one of the most important decisions
    of an individual's life.
         It used to be that one followed in the footsteps of their father or grandfather or took over the family
    business when it came to making a career choice. These days, a career path can start anywhere and
    with a few years veer off into something totally different.
         At the same time, career choices must be  realistic a nd well thought out. It is  not uncommon for
    individuals to start down a career path and realize they have  made a  terrible mistake,   feeling as if it
    may be too late to turn around. Not only does a career choice put a person's strongest skills and interests
    to use, it is also something that they will be doing on a consistent basis to bring in income. This is why a
    career choice can be such a personal decision. Formerly it used to be unusual for someone to change
    occupations or careers more than once or twice in a lifetime, it is now even more unusual to keep the
    same career during someone's working life.
         However, having a career that fits your interests and personality has been found to be important to
    an individual's well being. A person's career is something they will closely identify with, maybe even
    forming somewhat of an attachment.
          There are a great many resources for helping individuals with choosing the right profession. A number of websites offering tools such as career tests and information, educational resources and resume services can be found throughout the web. It is important to research one vocation and career, in this dynamic
      and changing economy and market place, choose the best from several related career choices.
    1. What should you consider when you want to get an ideal job? ________
    A. Your special skills and pay
    B. Your position and experience
    C. Your future income and working hours
    D. Your interest and friends' suggestions
    2. The underlined phrase "veer off" in the second paragraph is close to _______ in meaning. 

    A. dream of getting an easy job
    B. set out to do the same job
    C. compare two different things
    D. change the former cours

    3. Nowadays it is common for one to _______.
    A. do the same job all his life.
    B. change his job frequently
    C. find a few good jobs at a time
    D. live without a job for many years
    4. All of the following are the tools on profession offered by website EXCEPT ________.  
    A. tests and information
    B. training courses
    C. employers' phone numbers
    D. instructions on resume

    阅读理解

    　　People in Mutsuhito, Japan, lived through one hundreds, and sometimes thousands, a day．But they couldn’t get used to it．

    　　What was it? It was a string of earthquakes that made the small town shake all the time．This went on for more than a year．Sometimes the quakes were very small．Only certain instruments could pick them up．At other times, the quakes damaged houses and land．The people were always afraid．They wished they knew how to stop the ground from shaking．

    　　People all over the world would like to know when an earthquake is coming．But an earthquake is almost always a surprise．Under the surface of the Earth, huge blocks of rock drift apart or slide against each other．The ground above splits apart or rumbles and shakes．

    　　Some scientists hope to predict quakes by keeping a close watch on animals．It seems that some animals can sense an earthquake coming．In 1969, animals in a Chinese zoo began to act funny one day．Swans flew out of their pond．A panda sat down, covered its eyes with its paws, and groaned．The animals seemed to know that something was about to happen．And it did．An earthquake struck．What was it that the animals sensed? Scientists are trying to find out．

    　　Keeping close track of the Earth’s magnetic force in earthquake areas may also help．A few years ago, in Hollister, CA, scientists kept a record of the area’s magnetic pull．For one week, the force grew stronger．Then it weakened suddenly．A day later, an earthquake struck．

    　　It may become possible to know when and where an earthquake will happen．But it will be much harder to stop one from happening．

    　　Many scientists think that the Earth’s covering is not smooth．They say the earth’s “skin” is made up of huge puzzle pieces called plates．Land and ocean floors make up these huge plates．Under the Earth’s crust(外壳), or plates, is hot rock．The plates float on top of this rock．Sometimes the rock forces its way through the crust．What happens then? A volcano is born! More often, the rock moves and forces the plates to pull away from each other, causing earthquakes to happen．(Volcanoes and earthquakes often go together．)

    　　Sometimes, the plates end up on top of each other．When this happens, the land above may look strange．Seen from the air, there seems to be a long scar in the Earth．This is called a fault(断层)．The areas along faults have more earthquakes than other parts of the Earth．

    　　For now, we’ll just have to shake along with the Earth．It goes through millions of small earthquakes every year．With luck, you won’t feel a thing!

    (1)

    In order to predict earthquakes, scientists can _______．

    Which is wrong according to this passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    keep a close watch on animals

    B．

    keep close track of the Earth’s magnetic force in earthquake areas

    C．

    keep inventing instruments to pick up every earthquake

    D．

    keep a record of earthquake area’s magnetic pull of force

    (2)

    When the rock forces its way through the Earth’s crust, _______．

    [　　]

    A．

    a volcano is born

    B．

    an earthquake happens

    C．

    a fault forms

    D．

    the Earth’s covering becomes smooth

    (3)

    How does a fault form?

    [　　]

    A．

    When California rests on two separate plates．

    B．

    When the plates end up on top of each other．

    C．

    Before an earthquake happens．

    D．

    After volcano comes．
