Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. And the major you choose will ne
19、ither predict nor guarantee your future. Consider these factors when picking your major.Career PrepChoose a major because it will prepare you for a specific career path or advanced study.

According to PayS, the majors that lead to the highest salaries include just about any type of engineering, actuarial mathematics, comput
22、er science, physics, government, and economics. Keep your quality of life in mind, toothat six figure salary may not be worth it if youre not happy at the office.Subjects You LoveSome students choose a major simply because they love the subject matter. If you love what youre studying, youre more lik
23、ely to fully engage with your classes and college experience, and that can mean better grades and great relationships with others in your field.

What influences your choice of a major.C. How can a major effect your career.D. When should you decide your major.BHaving a job is great, I ha
30、ve learned. It means I can afford things such as a place to live and daily meals. And with an above-average job, I can afford a car and occasional overseas vacations.However, I also understand how difficult it is to have a below-average job, having had many of them before. Its frankly pretty awful.
31、Owning a car was out of the questionI could barely afford to ride the subway.So, I decided to go to university and get a degree.Later, I emailed my details to every company and government institution with an online careers page. I even printed my resume and handed it out in what seemed like hundreds
32、 of office buildings.One summer during university, my cousin and I helped out at uncles business, fixing roofs, although the only thing I got out of that was back problems. That same year, I got a job at a plumbing（管道工程） company, which I was terrible at. It was no surprise when I was asked to leave
33、that job after only four days.A lot of people today, believe the problem of unemployment in my generation is our fault. Some accuse us of being lazy or feeling too entitled（有资格的）. At the same time, some people accuse members of my generation of having a sense of “specialness” that has led us to beli
34、eve we can all be astronauts, movie stars or singers if we put our minds to it. Also, a few of them think that we would all be happily employed if we would only learn trades or become software engineers, because those people make the most money.I realize that not everyone can go into space, star in
35、Hollywood movies or fill stadiums with fans, however. I also think not everyone can make a good electrician or design advanced computer softwareI know I cant. Everyone is good at something, but no one is good at everything. It took me hundreds of rejection emails to realize that I had to focus on fi
36、nding a job where I could actually be successful.And now, I finally have that job. All it took was several years of desperation, failure and an honest assessment（评估） of my personal value in the job market.Its not the best start, but its not bad for a start too.41. What was the authors life like befo

He went on overseas vacations sometimes.42. What happened when the author tried to find a good job?A. It didnt take long for hi
38、m to land a great job.B. He gained a lot of skills when working at his uncles business.C. He got through a lot of difficulties in the process.D.

39、e.B. His sense of “specialness”.C. His high expectation of himself.D His failure to recognize his own strengths.44. What does the author think of his current job?A. Its highly paid.B.

40、y to _.A. share his reflections on finding a jobB. complain about the high unemployment rateC. stress the importance of an above-average jobD. encourage readers to try to get a better degreeCEveryone looks forward to progress, whether in ones personal life or in the general society. Progress indicat
41、es a persons ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only in so far as（就而言） people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However, at the back
42、of the minds of many people, especially those who missed the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to tal
43、k or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the persons presence for as long a
44、s the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are
45、better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is b
46、etter able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item. Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one poin
47、t of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is peoples attitude towards progress that causes the t
48、ype of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on peoples attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to
49、 suit our new “past” is created.46. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to _.A. live a better lifeB. look for better methodsC. change ways of living D. accept technology and advance steadily47. The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to _.A. toolsB
50、. messagesC. barriersD. skills48. The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by _. A. describing a processB. using examplesC. following time orderD. making classification49. Compared with home-made handicrafts, machine made products _.A. lack great accuracyB. lack the personal touchC. are o
51、f high valueD. are quite welcome50. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Progress can suit the need or daily life.B. People review the past with great regret.C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.D. Peoples attitude decides the use of technology.DMaybe youve heard about the s
52、aying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” Im sure that T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.By high school, T. J. was the most famous troublemaker in his town. He got into lots of fights. He failed almost every exam but was passed on each year to a higher

62、ol. But one thing that I have brought with me all the time is my sense of independence. I didnt like others seeing the real me, thinking that theyd only judge what I had done and what I was doing critically. I didnt want to get hurt. Maybe I was overly cautious. But more than that, I wanted to prove
63、 to those people who looked down on me that I could do things on my own.But then, what happened in my senior year in high school changed everything. Being the President of a newly-founded club, a secretary of another one, an assistant of a laboratory and a student in the top section, I felt extremel
64、y tired sometimes. And what I finally got was a one-week hospitalization later due to a physical breakdown.My mistake during that time was that I refused help from my members.
