When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than a

19、ssessing your skills and matching them with a particular positionIf you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's payThere are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good jobHere are a few of those main area

20、s;1） Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasyMost people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they preferThere are also positions tha

21、t are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation2） How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than othersIf you need to be stable in your life, you may need a job whe

22、re the changes don't happen so oftenOther people would be bored of the same daily routine3） Do you enjoy working with computers？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristicThere are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a

23、lot of human interaction throughout the dayAgain, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well4） What type of work environment do you enjoy？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a small

24、er setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly5） How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like thatThe variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for thisAnyway, thes

29、re living in an amazing age. We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased gr

30、eatly. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people all over the world are kill

31、ed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盤), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans very worst qualitie

32、s. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish. Their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driv

33、ing. The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road n

34、etworks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten. It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievable lenient (寬容的) and even the strictest are not strict

35、 enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take

36、 a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a persons driving ability. Present drinki

37、ng and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Speed limits should be required on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stress power and performance should be banned. These measures may not s

38、ound good enough. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars. 46. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists. B. Thousands of people all

39、 over the world are killed each year. C. The laws of some countries about driving are not so strict at all. D. Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents. 47. What does the author think of society toward motorists?A. Society laughs at the motorists. B. Huge car parks are built in the cities an

40、d towns.C. Victims of accidents are nothing. D. Society forgives their rude driving 48. What does the author mean by saying “his car becomes the extension of his personality” in Paragraph 2?A. Driving can show his hidden qualities B. Driving can show the other part of his personalityC. Driving can b

41、ring out his character D. Driving can represent his manners49. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A. Perfect the road network B. Stricter driving testsC. Test drivers every three years D. Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.50. The authors attit

42、ude towards the traffic situation is _. A. confused B. discontented C. appealing D. doubtful C（London）If it really is whats on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal( 內(nèi)部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver

43、 could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesnt surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.Acco

44、rding to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits （沉積）of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of th

45、ose with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to b

46、e fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat

47、damages the bodys communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.51. What is this piece of news ma
