UNIT 5　LAUNCHING YOUR CAREER Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2023·潍坊市高三检测)Whenever I talk about personality in relation to choosing a career，someone always complains like this: those tests are so stupid.When I was in the sixth grade，I took one of them and it said that I should be a farmer.While I don't think I would be a very good farmer，the results are probably a lot more accurate than I'd like to admit.At the time，it seemed ridiculous—I hated the outdoors and physical work, and was particularly sick of being dirty or sweaty.Now, though，as I think in terms of personality, it might have had something to do with my personality：I like long term planning，working by myself，and being the master of my own fate. Personality tests are various, and some are complete nonsense.Be careful of any personality test that claims to be capable of concluding what your dream job is from your favorite food for breakfast, or by the type of animal you like best.While there are many personality assessments that are very accurate, I'd love to say that they are a second (and often expensive) step.The best choice is to find out about yourself for yourself. Before determining the ways to examine your work preferences, it's important to know the difference between liking a topic and liking the work.I once had a young guy who was a third year marine (海洋的) biology student at a large state school in Ohio.He applied for and was placed into the Whale Watch program, where he found out that he became terribly seasick on any kind of boat－a big disadvantage for a student who thought he wanted to study whales in the wild. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了个性与职业选择的联系，并告诉人们如何选择合适的职业。 1．What is some people's opinion on choosing a career through personality tests? A．It is well worth trying. B．It's unreasonable. C．It's of just a little help. D．It might lead to failure. 解析：B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Whenever I talk about personality in relation to choosing a career, someone always complains like this: those tests are so stupid.”可知，这种测试是愚蠢的，没有道理的。故选B。]
