When I was young I wanted to be a model,so when a national contest was staged,I convinced my parents to take me for an audition (試演).I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有聲望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13,my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich,but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.
I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months,any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!
Of course,I wasn't signed,but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5′9″(about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (沖刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes. $500 for a photo shoot,and $300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.
The agency sent me out on a few auditions,but with every day I didn't receive a call,I grew more depressed. The_ final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting,only to be told that I was too short. I was devastated (極度不安的).
Years later,I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling,just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.

A.the last in a series of bad things that happen to make someone very upset,angry,etc...
B.the final result that she was admitted by the model company.
C.the final audition given by the agency.
D.the decision that she made at last not to be a model any more.

Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.
Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.
“Surgery(外科手術(shù))”, one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”
At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!
It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.
No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.
1.We can know from the passage that the author works as ______.
A. a doctor B. a model C. a teacher D. a reporter
2.Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to______.
A. marry a better man or woman
B. become a model
C. get an advantage over others in job-hunt
D. attract more admirers
3.According to the passage, the author believes that ______.
A. everyone should pursue perfection, whatever the cost is
B. it’s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs
C. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery
D. it is one’s appearance instead of skills that really matters in one’s career
4. What does the author think of his height?
A. He hates to be called a short man.
B. He tries to increase his height through surgery.
C. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.
D. He just accepts it as it is

“Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does. She is the author of Be Happy at work and other books about careers(職業(yè)). Gordon believes that about 30% of employees in North America do not like their jobs, and she thinks that is terrible. She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied with their jobs find work that is good for them. Joanne says, “There are no happy jobs, only happy workers.” She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics(特點).
First, happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs, and they look forward to the workday. Take Tony Hawk, for example. At age 14, he became a professional skateboarder. Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding—films and video games, but he still skates every day. He once said, “My youngest son’s pre-school was recently asked what their dads do for work. My son said, ‘I’ve never seen my dad do work.’” Tony agrees that his job doesn’t look like work. He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys.
Second, happy workers like the people they work with. Sally Ayote says, “I work with the coolest people in the world.” She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with them. She says, “There is no television here, no radio, so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying.” Sally thinks she has a great job, and the best part about it is the people.
Third, happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid, which shows movies in refugee(難民) camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing, entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety. For example, in one camp, thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that is helping other people, and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work.
Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says, “Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.” Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing, find people they like to work with, and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do, and they will probably be happy at work.
1.Who is the book, Be Happy at Work, written for?
A. Joanne Gordon herself.
B. Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron.
C. People who do not feel satisfied(滿意的)with their jobs.
D. The workers who agree with the author’s ideas.
2.Why did Tony Hawk’s son say, “I’ve never seen my dad do work.”?
A. Because Tony Hawk’s job doesn’t look like work.
B. Because Tony Hawk always finds something enjoyable in his job.
C. Because Tony helps people forget their troubles while skating.
D. Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating.
3.Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron are good examples that show us __________.
A. how to be a successful businessman
B. how to help people in difficulties
C. how to get along with the coolest people
D. how to become a happy worker
4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Some people believe that only a few kinds of jobs can really make people feel happy.
B. The writer of the passage tells us that many different kinds of work can be enjoyable.
C. The author of Be Happy at Work thinks that happiness at work is really important.
D. Joanne Gordon believes that people will probably be happy at work when they are proud of what they do.
