　　What should you think about when you try 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 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 or weak 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.

　　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 mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.

　　If you have had a part-time job on Saturday 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. 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 bitter to face any weaknesses 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 feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work

　　A. may still do well in his future job

　　Cell Phones Are the New Cigarettes

　　When you get in your car, you reach for it．When you're at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.

　　Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships.

　　With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone

　　connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away．In just the past

　　couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and

　　counselors（顾问）in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined.

　　The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don't mean just the monthly bill. Dr. Chris

　　Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of

　　cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality.

　　Sounds extreme, but we've all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him.

　　Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?

　　Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents. "Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends," he says.

　　If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it's because it has become very widespread. Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use. Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them. They far outnumber wired phones in the United States.

　　54. Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?

　　A. Cell phone users smoke less than they used to.

　　B. More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes.

　　C. Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes.

　　D. Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes.

　　55. The underlined word "curb" in Paragraph 2 means ____.

　　A. control

　　B. ignore

　　C. develop

　　D. rescue

　　56. The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that

　　.

　　A. women use cell phones more often than men

　　B. talking on the phone while driving is dangerous

　　C. cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easy

　　D. cell phones do not necessarily bring people together

　　第二节：阅读下列材料，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，其中有一个选项是多余的。

　　A. Learn to Listen and Speak

　　B. Develop Healthy Relationships

　　C. Arrange Some Time to Go Out

　　D. Respect Each Other

　　E. Learn Every day

　　Healthy Relationship Tips

　　Here are a few healthy relationship tips to help you build the dream of your life.

　　57. ________________

　　If your partner takes time to open up, help them out by asking questions. So learn to hear them out. You will obtain a healthy relationship through increased confidence in both of you to open up and hear things out.

　　58. ________________

　　Every single day is a blessing. Each one of us keep changing every day, the circumstances around us change every day and with that our attitude also needs to change. Learning every day and taking every day as a challenge will help you perfect healthy relationship tips.

　　59. ________________

　　To keep your relationship healthy, take some time out from your day-to-day routines to spend some quality time with your partner. This can be done as dinners, indulging in outdoor activities or just hanging out at a coffee shop like old times.

　　60. ________________

　　Often, one of the partners plays the role of a dictator to give orders, while the other simply follows. Both sides are responsible for this mistake. Learn to respect each other and understand that both of you are equally responsible for the relationship.
