A person once told me that a quick way to know if you are in the right job is to count the number of good and bad days that you have at your current job. If the good days outweigh the bad days by a long shot, then you are probably in the right place.

While I like that as a quick test, it does not get at the heart of the matter. Is this the right job for me now and in the future? I think it takes time, introspection (内省) and willingness to ask yourself difficult questions to know if you are in the right job.

Here are a few suggested questions that can help you evaluate whether your current job is fit for you. How motivated are you to do the work every day? Are you passionate about the work? Do you feel you can make an impact? Are you learning and growing? Is the work challenging? Do you desire to take on more responsibility or be your manager one day? Do you enjoy working with the people on your team and at your company? Are you in line with the values at the company?

After you go through this exercise of self-reflection, it can be helpful to check in with an advisor or someone that knows you well like a friend or family member. They can offer different perspectives or help remove a blind spot for you.

I have had a few notable experiences where someone has shared feedback that suggested I was not in the right job and should consider other options. It caused an overwhelming sense of loss at first because I was quite comfortable in my role (or at least I thought I was). However, it was several days before I realized it was the best feedback that I had ever gotten because it led me to the next opportunity that was even better than the current one. It turned out that when I was doing my self-reflection and answering the questions above, I was not being honest with myself. Had I only relied on my own thinking, I would have not obtained the opportunities that came next.

1.What question CAN’T help you assess whether you are enjoying the work itself and accomplishing something?

A.Are you passionate about the work?

B.Do you feel you can make an impact?

C.Are you in line with the values at the company?

D.How motivated are you to do the work every day?

2.It can be helpful to tell an advisor or people acquainted with you after you finish 8 important questions of self-reflection because _________.

A.they get to the point of the matter

B.they are resourceful with numerous experiences

C.they can encourage you to figure out the number of sunny days and rainy days

D.they can view things from different angles and remind you of things likely to be neglected

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.It’s wise to answer questions right away.

B.Prior to the shared feedback, the author received the best suggestion.

C.The author was satisfied initially when others suggested considering other choices.

D.Having considered others’ shared feedback, the author had a better opportunity.

4.Which of the following best describes the author?

A.Open-minded. B.Stubborn.

C.Loyal. D.Knowledgeable.

Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession(一连串，连续）". With developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.

This behavior is nothing new. In fact, " binge-watching" has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode”.

However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we’ll be missing work!

Bingeing has other connections-binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said: “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?

The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what's the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”

1.How did the writer develop the first paragraph?

A. Listing some examples.

B. Telling a story.

C. Giving a definition.

D. Analyzing the cause and effect.

2.Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in paragraph 2 ?

A. similarly.　　 B. gradually.

C. naturally.　　 D. necessarily.

3.What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that _____________.

A. people have no patience to do work.

B. people can’t control their movements.

C. people are addicted to watching television.

D. people can’t resist the temptation.

4.What advice did the writer give at last?

A. To watch episodes in a moderate way.

B. To draw life lessons from the episodes.

C. To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.

D. To keep online media from stopping functioning.

The sixth mass extinction of life on the Earth is unfolding more quickly than feared, scientists have warned. More than 30 percent of animals with a backbone — fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals — are declining in both range and population, according to the first comprehensive analysis of these trends.

Around a decade ago, experts feared that a new range wipeout of species was appearing. Today, most agree that it is underway — but the new study suggests that the die-out is already growing fast.

The loss of biodiversity has recently accelerated. Several species of mammals that were relatively safe one or two decades ago are now endangered, including cheetahs, lions and giraffes, the study showed.

There is no mystery as to why: our own ever-expanding species — which has more than doubled in number since 1960 to 7.4 billion — is eating, crowding and polluting its planetary cohabitants out of existence. By comparison, there are as few as 20,000 lions left in the wild, less than 7,000 cheetahs, 500 to 1,000 giant pandas.

The main drivers of wildlife decline are habitat loss, over-consumption, pollution, other species, disease, as well as hunting in the case of tigers, elephants, rhinos and other large animals prized for their body parts.

Climate change is thought to become a major threat in the coming decades, with some animals — most famously polar bears — already in decline due to rising temperatures and changing weather patterns.

1.What does the underlined word “accelerated” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Made up.　　 B. Put up.

C. Sped up.　　 D. Used up.

2.Why has the loss of biodiversity sped up?

A. The mankind’s population is growing fast.

B. The air pollution is too severe.

C. There are fewer species in larger areas.

D. Man causes wider water pollution.

3.Which is not the main driver of wildlife decline?

A. Outside animals.

B. Loss of living areas.

C. Various illnesses.

D. Lack of water.

4.How is the future of polar bears?

A. Uncertain.　　 B. Hopeful.

C. Doubtful.　　 D. Unsatisfying.

Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.

We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.

Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.

Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.

Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.

When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.

One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.

An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.

Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.

1.People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ________.

A.delay tasks B.work hard

C.seek help D.accept failure

2.What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?

A.Writing essays in strict order.

B.Building up physical strength.

C.Leaving out the toughest ideas.

D.Dealing with the hardest task first.

3.On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?

A.Before starting a difficult task.

B.When all the solutions fail.

C.If the job is rather boring.

D.After finding a way out.

4.According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.

A.ignore mental problems B.get some nice sleep

C.gain complete relief D.find the right solution

5.What could be the best title for the passage?

A.Success Is Built upon Failure

B.How to Handle Performance Fatigue

C.Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success

D.Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems
