18.Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time?When you select your career,there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality,it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay.There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job.Here are a few of those main areas;
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 uneasy.Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer.There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two,which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2)How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them,but some are more than others.If you need stability in your life,you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often.Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3)Do you enjoy working with computers?
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic.There are people who are happy to spend more than 40hours a week on a computer,while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day.Again,these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4)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 smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5)How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get,while others feel too stressed to be like that.The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway,these are a great starting point for you.I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love.It may take you a little longer,but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.

解答 29-31 DBD
29.D 考查推理判斷.根據(jù)文章第二段中的Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer.可知,大多數(shù)人不極端但他們有他們偏愛(ài)的傾向.可推知D正確.A錯(cuò)是因?yàn)椋汗铝⒌墓ぷ魇雇庀虻娜吮惘偪瘢皇撬械娜;B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)因?yàn)椋合嗷ソ涣鞯墓ぷ魇购π叩娜烁械讲蛔栽冢皇鞘谷烁π;C錯(cuò)因?yàn)椋何恼聸](méi)提到極端的人易于和其他人合作.
30.B 考查猜測(cè)句意.根據(jù)文章第一段中的There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job.Here are a few of those main areas; 可以推知:你在選擇職業(yè)生涯的時(shí)候,除了技術(shù)和職位以外還有幾個(gè)你個(gè)人的性格問(wèn)題需要考慮.這和選項(xiàng)B相吻合
31.D 考查文章的標(biāo)題.根據(jù)文章第一段中的中心句If you ignore your personality,it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay.There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job.Here are a few of those main areas; 可知,文章講述的是:人的個(gè)性和工作之間的關(guān)系.故選D.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是,僅憑讀過(guò)文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來(lái)勾選答案,這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱.所謂閱讀理解,對(duì)于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文,因此,每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對(duì)比與核查,再得出答案.也就是說(shuō),閱讀理解的每一道題目,在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處,我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句,(1)排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)(2)排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng) (3)排除用于過(guò)于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.
