What should you consider in finding jobs
What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strength that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a generally satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs, but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it．If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in apart –time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs (笨手笨腳) when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

Ⅲ．閱讀理解
A
Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy (掃盲) volunteer. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule (), she told me it would not help because she could not read it .She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She ate with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

I’m seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angels. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them, and carried things to their cars. It was hard work. While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, “ It was nice talking to you Brett.” I felt great. He remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn’t remember my name at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate. If he’d have said, “Oh yes, Irving, hoe could I forget you?” I’d have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.
The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldn’t accept tips. Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the nature reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me. I’d say, “I’m sorry I can’t,” They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you are sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, “Oh, thanks a lot.” When you say, “I’m sorry, I can’t, they feel a little put down. They say, “ No one will know.” And they put it in your pocket, you say, “I really can’t.” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping on you. It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly/ Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or ate it or something.
I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the reasons and could afford to hate it and give it up.

課文翻譯
足球, 該不該是選擇的職業(yè)?
小時(shí)候的大衛(wèi)是個(gè)足球迷, 他一有空就在操場(chǎng)上,倫敦東區(qū)住地的街道上踢球, 象成千上百萬(wàn)男孩和越來(lái)越多的女孩一樣, 他夢(mèng)想成為一名職業(yè)足球隊(duì)員。 他擁護(hù)曼聯(lián)隊(duì), 夢(mèng)想穿上紅襯衫在著名的老特拉福得球場(chǎng)在成千上萬(wàn)觀眾的喝彩中進(jìn)球。
當(dāng)他還是學(xué)生時(shí)，就加入了倫敦一個(gè)俱樂(lè)部隊(duì)集訓(xùn)。 16歲時(shí)被召進(jìn)曼聯(lián)隊(duì)訓(xùn)練。 大衛(wèi)的一夜成名始于他作為曼聯(lián)青年隊(duì)球員在1992年贏得“足總青年杯”。同年入選“紅魔”主力隊(duì)。這是他非凡事業(yè)的開(kāi)始。
現(xiàn)在大衛(wèi)是英格蘭著名的中場(chǎng)球員和世界明星。他的每場(chǎng)球都有世界各地成千上萬(wàn)崇拜貝克漢姆的球迷在觀看。大衛(wèi) 貝克漢姆實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己的目標(biāo)，但其他有著同樣夢(mèng)想的孩子呢？他們是否也能實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的抱負(fù)？
足球與其他職業(yè)不同，因?yàn)楣椭鞑辉趫?bào)紙或英特網(wǎng)上廣告他們有空缺的工作。沒(méi)有求職表要填寫(xiě)，也沒(méi)有面試。但雇主--足球俱樂(lè)部自己尋找有能力的合適人選，并給他們提供工作。
俱樂(lè)部尋找高水平尤其是有天賦的年輕球員。高水平球員必須控球好，知道如何利用球場(chǎng)空間。職業(yè)球員必須相當(dāng)出色，為高水平俱樂(lè)部效力一定要很優(yōu)秀。但這不是僅僅靠腳上功夫算數(shù)的。俱樂(lè)部經(jīng)理還想讓球員有良好的球隊(duì)精神，性格堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，有毅力，態(tài)度積極。
許多國(guó)家建立了鼓勵(lì)和發(fā)展青年球員，俱樂(lè)部評(píng)估球員，發(fā)現(xiàn)未來(lái)的球星。中國(guó)有特殊的足球?qū)W校，在那兒孩子們既學(xué)足球技術(shù)，也進(jìn)行正式的教育。英國(guó)俱樂(lè)部派遣星探在全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)有足球天賦的孩子。這些星探觀看成百上千場(chǎng)在農(nóng)村，小鎮(zhèn)和城市里的學(xué)校球隊(duì)比賽。當(dāng)他們發(fā)現(xiàn)有天賦的青年時(shí)，就邀請(qǐng)他們到俱樂(lè)部訓(xùn)練。如果球員在１６歲以下，就一邊上學(xué)，晚上到俱樂(lè)部集訓(xùn)，周末到初級(jí)球隊(duì)打球。那些表現(xiàn)出色的球員在１６歲時(shí)成為青年訓(xùn)練隊(duì)員加入了俱樂(lè)部并能拿到薪水。這段時(shí)間他們接受指導(dǎo)，為青年隊(duì)效力，但并非生活得很如意。隊(duì)里有許多名額的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，薪水很低, 還要打掃更衣室, 廁所和為前輩球員擦球鞋。他們還每周一次到大學(xué)里學(xué)習(xí)足球?qū)I(yè)其他方面，學(xué)習(xí)球場(chǎng)維護(hù)和辦公管理。
２年后，只有極少數(shù)球員能夠走進(jìn)下一關(guān)。這些幸運(yùn)兒與俱樂(lè)部簽約，他們足球職業(yè)生涯就開(kāi)始了。從這時(shí)起，他們事業(yè)的成功和能賺到多少錢(qián)就看他們的表現(xiàn)，能打贏多少場(chǎng)比賽。也許有一兩個(gè)人能象貝克漢姆那樣。可是，足球是競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的職業(yè)，所以許多球員并不那么成功，不得不放棄這種生涯去尋找其他的職業(yè)。
貝克漢姆小時(shí)候就夢(mèng)想為曼聯(lián)隊(duì)踢球。他達(dá)到了自己的目標(biāo)，使紅色７號(hào)球衣聞名世界。現(xiàn)在, 他的發(fā)式跟進(jìn)球一樣著名。大衛(wèi)的故事有了圓滿的結(jié)尾，但許多有著同樣夢(mèng)想的孩子卻永遠(yuǎn)沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)穿上他們最喜歡球隊(duì)的球衣，他們?cè)S多人只能作為業(yè)余愛(ài)好者在空閑時(shí)間踢球。他們到足球夢(mèng)不一定能實(shí)現(xiàn)。
綜合技能
你為什么認(rèn)為你擅長(zhǎng)這項(xiàng)工作
許多求職或升學(xué)時(shí)所填的表格都要求你寫(xiě)一段個(gè)人介紹。這種做法是很普遍的，常常要你寫(xiě)個(gè)人自述，或者回答特定的問(wèn)題。你所回答的問(wèn)題可能是：
你為什么認(rèn)為你擅長(zhǎng)這項(xiàng)工作？
你事業(yè)的目標(biāo)是什么？
你有哪些特點(diǎn)表明你能在這個(gè)職業(yè)上取得成就？
解釋你為什么要申請(qǐng)。
這是一次機(jī)會(huì)．你可能說(shuō)服招聘人或教育工作者你能給他們的公司、組織或大學(xué)帶來(lái)什么益處。從你的回答中他們決定是否對(duì)你感興趣，留下好的印象很重要。我們向雇主詢問(wèn)怎樣能有好的效果，他們說(shuō)：
最重要的是要去調(diào)查研究。你要使讀求職信的人信服，你明白公司或組織從事的一切，能清楚了解這件工作或程序。然后提供關(guān)于你的興趣、資格、經(jīng)驗(yàn)的有力證明，說(shuō)明你有這些技能去做好工作。誠(chéng)實(shí)謙虛，但不要有所保留。你擅長(zhǎng)什么完全可以照實(shí)說(shuō)。不要送去有錯(cuò)誤的求職表，即使是你修改過(guò)的。表格應(yīng)當(dāng)清晰易讀。
避免太簡(jiǎn)略，你的個(gè)人自述應(yīng)當(dāng)有趣、新穎。比如，一個(gè)想做導(dǎo)游的求職者說(shuō)：“我喜歡與人相處，喜歡旅游。”這并不能給雇主什么新鮮感，提供什么信息。
