【題目】 Nearly 50% of all workers in the United States have jobs they aren’t happy with. Don’t let this happen to you! If you want to find the right job, don’t rush to look through the ads in the newspaper. Instead, sit down and think about yourself. What kind of person are you? What makes you happy?

According to John Holland who studies personalities, there are six types. Nobody is just one personality type, but most people are mainly one type. For each type, there are certain jobs that might be right and others that are probably wrong.

Six Types of Personalities

★The Realistic type is practical and likes working with machines and tools.

★The Investigative（研究的） type is interested in all the new things and likes to learn, study situations, and solve problems.

★The Artistic type is imaginative and likes to express himself or herself by creating.

★The Social type is friendly and likes helping or training other people.

★The Enterprising（有進(jìn)取心的） type is outgoing and likes to lead other people.

★The Conventional（傳統(tǒng)的） type is careful and likes to follow routines and details.

Considering your personality type can help you make the right job decision. Liz was one of the people who were not sure about their jobs. She knew she wanted to do something for children, so she thought she could help children as a school counselor（顧問） or a lawyer. She took counseling and law courses—but hated them. After talking to a career counselor, she found that these jobs didn’t suit her. She is more interested in films, so she studied film and she now produces children’s TV shows—and loves it.

A.Ask your parents or friends for help or advice.

B.Think about what you can do for your family.

C.Look through the ads in the newspapers at once.

【2】If Jack is a policeman and he likes to find out what happens actually, what type of personality is he?

A.The Social type.B.The Investigative type.
