    Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don’t get paid for it, or if you can only work at it part-time. Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” Instead, he wrote the two most famous papers when he was employed as a patent  clerk. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him on their staff.
    If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, don’t think of yourself as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiter tables—and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft（手艺）in the off hours.
    While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness  into the universe of all possibilities. You don’t want to be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened to all possibilities, you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own.
    Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.
    【小题1】According to the passage, perhaps Einstein once said to himself, “_______.”

    A．Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for
    something else
    B．The job is just what I want, I should work very hard at it
    C．I have to support myself by working as a patent clerk now, but I won’t give physics up
    D．I must wait until I find my favorite job
    【小题2】If a person works 24 hours a week, he can________.
    A．have enough spare time for his hobbies
    B．have no time left to make his dream come true
    C．do nothing else
    D．make a good living

    A．Sometimes the imaginative is different from the practical.
    B．We have to take care of a lot of details before we make our dreams come true.
    C．We shall do practical things rather than dream.

        Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don’t get paid for it, or if you can only work at it part-time. Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work relation to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” Instead, he wrote the two most famous papers while employed as a patent(专利) office worker. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him work for them.

        If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, don’t think of your- self as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiting table-and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft(手艺) in the off hours.

        While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness (意识) into the universe of all possibilities.

    　　What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others．These may show strengths that you can use in your work．A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career．A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work．So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school．On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard．Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value．A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details．This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs．

    　　Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work．You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills．If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it．If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers．You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example．Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job．

    　　Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself．You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures．It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist．Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background．You should not be apologetic(认错的)about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work．
