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

We all know the feeling of waking up in the middle of the night with a pounding heart and sweaty palms. Relax, you say to yourself— it was just a bad dream. Well, it may be that you really should relax, because nightmares might actually be good for you.

According to New York magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental health. A bad dream tends to be based on a real-life concern, for example, an approaching test or a fear of a person. To eliminate these worries the brain turns the dream into a story in the form of a bad dream.

A bad dream enables you to distance yourself from your anxieties, and turn something you’re worried about now into a memory. The result is that when you wake up, you’re able to move forward and face the future.

A study, featured in The Atlantic magazine, showed something similar. In a survey of more than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60 percent had negative dreams about the test the night before. These included not finishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t, suggesting that nightmares do in fact prepare us for the future.

“We think nightmares are so common that they have some purpose to process stressors,” Anne Germain, director of the Sleep Center at the University of Pittsburgh, said.

So, the next time you lie awake at night after a bad dream, remember that it may be the brain’s way of putting your fears behind you and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraid in the short term, it might be helping you to move on from the bad stuff you might be facing in the real world. Perhaps we should try to accept our nightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleep causes far more problems than dreams do.

1.Which of the following best explains “eliminate” in Paragraph 2?

A.Remove. B.Reflect. C.Satisfy. D.Strengthen.

2.Why does the author mention the study in the fourth paragraph?

A.To show medical school entrance exams will cause anxiety.

B.To show those who have nightmares will do worse in an exam.

C.To show nightmares help students perform better in an exam.

D.To show most of the students will be stressed before an exam.

3.According to the author, what should we do if we have a bad dream?

A.We should keep ourselves awake.

B.We should relax and go on sleeping.

C.We should study bad dreams carefully.

D.We should prevent it from happening.

4.Where is this text most likely from?

A.A diary. B.A guidebook. C.A novel. D.A magazine.

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.

The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.

The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a doctor actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.

The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications(应用) on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters(怪物) among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Serval says.

Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.

The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, depending on features. The U.S. is the first target market.

Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.

1.Which is one of the features of the Kolibree toothbrush?

A.It can sense how users brush their teeth.

B.It can track users’ school performance.

C.It can cause users’ fear of seeing a doctor.

D.It can help users find their phones.

2.What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?

A.You will find it enjoyable to see a doctor.

B.You should see your doctor on a day-to-day basis.

C.You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a doctor.

D.You’d like a doctor to watch you brush your teeth every day.

3.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A.How Serval found out his kids lied to him.

B.Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.

C.How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth.

D.What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush.

4.What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?

A.The brush handle will be removed.

B.A mobile phone will be built into it.

C.It will be used to fill holes in teeth.

D.It will be able to check users’ teeth.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Your teacher hands back a test and you did poorly. At this moment, you wish you could hide from the world. 1. But according to a research, what’s more important is how you react in the long term. Scientists say students can be divided into two groups. The first, called “mastery-oriented learners” view poor results as challenges to do better in the future. The second, called “helpless learners” will respond just by giving up.

2. But surprisingly, this attitude is even more important than a student’s natural intelligence. However smart, eventually you’ll come across question you cannot answer. When you do, it’s important not to fall victim to helplessness. Learned helplessness was first discovered in an experiment where some dogs suffered from electrical shocks they couldn’t escape from. Later, their feeling of helplessness was so strong that they made no attempt to escape even when they could.

So what makes you a different learner? 3. Mastery-oriented learners believe hard work is the key to success. Faced with failure, they simply conclude they need to try harder. However, helpless learners believe intelligence is inborn. 4. Thus, when they have difficulties they conclude they are not smart enough and that improving on their intelligence isn’t possible.

If you want to be a mastery-oriented person, you can. 5. If you think you can do better, keep trying and the results will surely follow.

A.Start by not letting negative results discourage you.

B.It’s feeling many students are familiar with.

C.It all comes down to your idea of intelligence.

D.That’s because you should have worked hard.

E.Whether you’re intelligent, ambition counts.

F.To them, success in school seems to rely on natural talent and ability.

G.As you would expect, the first group performs better than the second.
