How to Start a Career(职业)

Starting a career is about making choices as to what you want out of life well into the future. You could be switching careers, starting fresh, or just looking to see what is out there. 1.

Dive online into research about careers you're interested in.

On the one hand, if you're unsure about which career you want, make a list of 5-10 jobs you might like and then start searching them. 2. You may realize, for example, that becoming an actor has a high burden to entry, with low job security and uncertain hours. But being a production assistant, working on film sets, is a much more manageable start and can lead to a variety of film careers.

Take an honest look at your current qualifications (资格).

Generally speaking, the career you want is going to need some training and experience. 3. What you should do next is make enough preparations for the career you love.

Do some volunteer work in fields you enjoy.

This can be especially useful if you're not sure, or if you have several choices and you can't make up your mind between them. 4. But it is useful for a short period to give you a good taste of what the career is like.

5.

It is a good idea to discuss careers with others. It can help you judge if people are enjoying what they're doing every day. It also lets you ask questions to put yourself in their shoes, determining if you see yourself in that job. This can really help you to decide what will work for you.

A.Don't forget to add new jobs to your list.

B.However, never fear if you feel a little under-qualified(不合格的) at the moment.

C.On the other hand, list your strengths, talents, even those not related to typical careers.

D.Either way, it's important to find out what fits best so that you don't burn out half-way.

E.Ask other people what they like about their careers.

F.Don’t feel like there is a “right” answer to picking a career.

G.It doesn’t necessarily mean you need to do long-term work for free.

What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths 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 do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you must 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 (烹饪术) and look for a job where you can improve these skills.

If you have had a part-time job on weekends or in the 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 of a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs 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 than to pretend 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 ashamed of it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

1.According to the passage, what does the author encourage us to do?

A.Have a specially strong subject.

B.Use school performance to help to choose a career.

C.Make efforts to be good at all subjects.

D.Take up part-time jobs as much as possible.

2.We can learn from the third paragraph that as a student, having a part-time job __________.

A.may be useful for the future work

B.is helpless to find out the weak points

C.is a good way to earn extra money

D.is a must to experience various jobs

3.If a student’s school record is not good, he __________.

A.must regret not having worked harder at school

B.will be a failure in his future work sooner or later

C.may do well in his future work if he chooses the right career

D.should receive further education after graduation

Unless you are fortunate enough to know an NBA player, Ryan Martin is probably the best basketball player you'll ever meet. Unlike those who fly up and down the court (球场),however, Martin is forced to take a different approach; he doesn't have legs.

Martin, a 33-year old man, is a professional wheelchair basketball player. His achievements have taken him halfway around the world to play in Spain for the last seven years. There he made a comfortable living playing basketball and working with some of the greatest athletes in the world.

“A good wheelchair player can make $ 50,000 a year, while a star can make six figures,” said Martin. What's more, he couldn't see his family for months and European cities were unfriendly to the disabled. He also had to learn Spanish. Martin, however, overcame those drawbacks(困难).

He started by playing basketball when he was 12. It didn't take long for him to fall in love with the sport and, after graduating from Somers High, he attended Southwest Minnesota State University on a basketball scholarship. In college, he scored over 1 ,000 points in his career and set several school records.

And he works as hard—if not harder—than any other professional athlete. “He destroys me,” said Gina Navarra, who works out with Martin on occasion. “What he does amazes me.”

Martin also recognizes that, at age 33, he's in the back end of his career. With that in mind, he has been focusing more and more on his foundation.

“I have 12 brothers and sisters. College gave me a true sense of achievement. The foundation is designed to give those with disabilities the opportunity to realize the dreams that I once had,” Martin said.

“I'm not saying that out of a sense of pity,” he said. “I realize how fortunate I am to have achieved what I have. But I want to open doors for people.”

1.What was Ryan Martin's life like in Spain?

A.Free. B.Boring. C.Difficult. D.Bittersweet.

2.How was Ryan Martin's performance in college?

A.He stood out in basketball. B.He failed to make a record.

C.He was weak in his studies. D.He never won a scholarship.

3.Why has Ryan Martin been working for the foundation?

A.To help those in need. B.To finish his basketball career.

C.To earn more money for his family. D.To learn basketball skills from other players.

4.Which of the following words best describe Ryan Martin?

A.Honest and responsible. B.Ambitious and sensitive.

C.Reliable and knowledgeable. D.Determined and warm-hearted.
