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.

 

    Guana was born from a family with 7 children. His parents had two jobs to make ends meet and struggled to pay for basic expenses. Guana was once a cleaner at a school but now he is a superintendent(教育学监), leading the Byron Union School District in rural northern California.

Guana always remembers when he wanted to give up, someone would encourage him. One was the cleaner at his school when he was a boy. He called her “Nike” because she wore Nike shoes. Guana wanted those kinds of shoes, too, but his parents could not afford them. Young Gauna liked how Nike made everything so clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. Nike said, “it’s good if you want to be a cleaner, but make sure that you go to college and make this as one of your steps there.”

Guana also looked up to the principal(校长), the leader at his school. He was a tall, friendly and good-looking man. He told Guana about his job helping students and teachers. And he said, “Well, if you don’t give up, you’ll get there.” Guana did get there, and two men remain friends. But before Guana became a school principal, he followed in Nike’s footsteps and become a cleaner. He worked for three schools in Lodi, California, which helped him earn the money needed for his first two years of college. He earned a high-level university education and gained a doctor’s degree. Then he worked as a campus safety officer, teacher, counselor, administrator, and now superintendent.

Even though Guana has had a successful career, he never forgets where he came from, or how he felt. He uses his life experiences to guide him as a leader.

For example, Guana’s younger sister needs a wheelchair to get around. To this day, her disability(残疾) helps him as a school administrator to help and support special children. In Guana’s school system today, everyone is important and invited to parties and events.

D.To tell us that Guana was a kind and considerate man.

    We automatically assume that as adults, we’re wiser than when we were children. However, actually we can learn a lot from our childhood self. For example, we can learn to develop optimism about the future. Do you remember how excited you used to be just before Christmas? 1. Reintroduce that childlike wonder into our daily experiences.

We can learn to dream big and imagine the impossible. How often have you heard a child say something like “One day, I’m going to be an astronaut”? Our adult minds immediately laugh at this idea and think about all the logical reasons as to why this might never happen. 2. We minimize our chances of attaining what we dream about. It is okay to dream big just as our childhood self did.

3. Our childhood self looked at possibilities and believed we could achieve them successfully. If we wanted to build a tree house, we’d go about thinking about how to make it happen instead of focusing on all the reasons it might not happen. In this way we can fill our life with possibilities rather than regrets.

We can learn to be playful and silly sometimes, 4. Children spend a large amount of time escaping from reality to mess about and have fun. Make time for your childhood self to come out and play. Run around the garden, wear a silly hat or spend time laughing. 5..

A.Don’t imagine things could go wrong.

B.We can learn to hold a “can do” attitude.

C.That feeling of great joy is hard to beat.

D.Most children tend to think in a positive way.

E.All of these activities can make us feel happy and alive.

F.We employ self-limiting beliefs without even realizing it.

G.All work and no play makes a person very dull and upset.

 

    Every day is Earth Day — probably you’ve heard it before. Nearly all Americans have access to a plastic recycling program. You may be surprised to learn how many types of plastic packaging can be recycled into new, useful products!

Ford Motor Company has been helping to promote the use of environmentally-friendly auto parts — and one way they’re doing that is by using recycled plastic bottles for underbody shields (底盘保护罩) and other auto parts on cars.

“The underbody shield is a large part, and for a part that big, if we use solid plastic, it would likely weigh three times as much,” said Thomas Sweder, a design engineer of Ford Motor Company. “We look for the most durable and highest performing materials to work with to make our parts, and in this case, we are also creating many environmental benefits.”

In the past decade, the global use of plastics in vehicle parts has grown quickly. Ford alone uses about 1.2 billion recycled plastic bottles per year, about 250 bottles per vehicle on average.

When plastic bottles are thrown into a recycling bin, they are collected with thousands of others and cut into small pieces. These pieces are typically sold to suppliers who turn them into fibers, by melting and pressing them. Then they are mixed together with other various types of fiber in a process and used to make a sheet of material which is formed into the auto parts.

Due to its light weight, recycled plastic is ideal for the manufacturing of underbody shields. These shields reportedly also help create a significantly quieter environment on the new 2020 Ford Escape.

This is not the only way that Ford has been committed to environmental protection; the automotive company recently partnered with McDonald’s coffee suppliers to recycle all of their coffee roasting biowaste into headlights.

“Ford is among the leaders when it comes to using recycled materials such as this,” Sweder said. “This material meets all of our requirements for durability and performance.”

1.Why does Ford choose recycled plastic as environmentally-friendly materials?

A.Because it’s new and useful. B.Because it’s durable and light.

C.Because it’s cheap and easy to get. D.Because it’s portable and well-performed.

2.What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

A.The global use of plastics. B.The mixing process of fibers.

C.The advantages of plastic bottles. D.The formation of the new auto material.

3.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A.Recycling coffee roasting biowaste. B.Improving vehicle parts.

C.Recycling plastic bottles into auto parts. D.Creating a quieter environment.

4.What can be the best title of the passage?

A.Ford Takes the Lead in Plastic Recycling.

B.Every Day is Earth Day.

C.Ecological Auto Underbody Shields.

D.A Pioneer in Promoting Environmental Protection.

 

    The Australian state of New South Wales rolled out "high definition detection cameras" on Sunday, designed to catch drivers using cell phones behind the wheel.

Andrew Constance, New South Wales' minister for roads, said the "world-first" technology would target illegal cell phone use through "fixed and mobile cameras." The cameras will use artificial intelligence to review images and detect illegal use of cell phones, according to Transport for NSW.

Images identified as being likely to contain a driver illegally using a cell phone would then be verified by traffic police. These images would be "securely stored and managed".

Over the next three years, 45 portable cameras would be set up across the state, in unknown locations, and without warning signs, CNN branch Sky News Australia reported.

For the first three months, drivers caught out by the technology would receive a warning letter, Transport for New South Wales said in a statement, after which the drivers would face a fine of up to $344, or $457 in a school zone, and loss of points on their drivers’ license.

"The NSW Government is serious about reducing our state's road deaths and launching mobile phone detection cameras is another way we will do this." Constance said in a statement.

Officials said that a trial of the technology earlier in the year had caught more than 100,000 drivers illegally using a phone behind the wheel. Some 329 people died this year on New South Wales' roads, Reuters news agency reported, compared with 354 people for 2018, according to official statistics.

1.Why does the NSW Government set up detection cameras?

A.To get some real-time information about the traffic.

B.To warn people of the danger of crossing the street casually.

C.To catch drivers using cell phones illegally.

D.To improve the work efficiency of the police.

2.What does the underlined word “verified” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.described. B.restored. C.edited. D.confirmed.

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A.Locations of the cameras will be informed in advance.

B.Illegal drivers will be fined once cameras are set up.

C.Illegal driving in school zones is punished more severely.

D.Cameras are the first attempt for the government to cut road deaths.

4.What’s the officials’ attitude towards the trial of the technology?

A.Supportive. B.Disapproving. C.Doubtful. D.Unconcerned.
