话题阅读小故事 ——弄清楚你想做什么
WORKING OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
弄清楚你想做什么
As an adult, one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is, "What do you do ?"This is because your career is a very important part of who you are. The career you have defines your life, and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people.
作为一名成年人,你结识新朋友时首先被问及的问题之一是:“你是做什么工作的?”这是因为你的职业是你身份的一个重要组成部分。你所从事的职业决定了你的生活,所以花点时间来思考它,对年轻人来说是项至关重要的锻炼。
The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school, before you make any choices about your further education. This,however, is not always easy. Some people know what they want to do from young age, but many others just have a few ideas bouncing around in their heads.开始考虑自己可能从事的职业的最佳时间,是你还在学校的时候,在你对自己的继续深造作出任何选择之前。然而,这并不总是那么容易。有些人年轻时就清楚自己想做什么,但更多的人只是有一些想法在脑子里晃来晃去。
One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a"career aptitude test". The results of the test will tell you about your strengths and interests, and some tests also suggest careers that you may be suited to. Having this information will provide you with a better chance of finding a job you like. There are many free tests online, so give one a try.Getting a head start in considering your future career may help you for the rest of your life. You dont want to look back in years to come and say, "I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do."
要想洞察可能从事的职业道路,最有效的方法之一是完成“职业能力倾向测验”。从测验结果能看出你的强项和兴趣,一些测验还会就你可能适合的职业提出建议。拥有这些信息将会为你提供更好的机会来找到你喜欢的工作。网上有很多免费测验,所以尝试一下吧。在考虑你的未来职业方面早做打算,可能会让你终身受益。你不会想在以后的岁月里回望过去时说:“要是当时我能对我想做的事情多考虑考虑就好了。”
There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask question about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios, like working as a librarian or a lawyer. Of course, while completing these sorts of tests, it is very important to be honest—and dont worry-there are no right or wrong answers.有很多不同种类的职业能力倾向测验。有些测验会问一些关于你的个人兴趣和态度的问题。另一些测验则更侧重于让你给不同类型的工作场景打分,比如说当图书管理员或律师。当然,在做这些测验时,诚实是非常重要的—无须担心,答案没有对错之分。
One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks. Their answers are then analysed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant's overall work personality.This code is then used to generate a list of career suggestions.
有一项流行的测验要求参与者给自己对各种工作任务的偏好打分。参与者的回答随后会被分析并划分为六种不同类型的职业性格。然后为参与者提供一张图表,显示他们在每一种职业性格上的得分。最高的三项得分会用来组成一个代码,以显示参与者的整体职业性格,然后用这个代码生成一个职业建议列表。
The career suggestions are also based on your education and experience level,but you can look at higher-level careers as well, which is very useful for high school students. For example, you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now, and then look at the more advanced career so you know what you may like to aim for in the future. This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there.
职业建议也基于你的教育和经验水平,但是你也可以看看更高层次的职业,这对高中生非常有用。例如,你可以看看基础性的职业,以了解你现在可能喜欢什么工作,然后再看看更高级别的职业,这样你就知道未来你可能想要以什么为目标。这是一个很好的工具,可以帮助规划你的职业,让你知道你需要达成什么目标才能实现理想。
In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool. However, it is important to remember that they are only meant for guidance. The secret to a good career is finding something that you are passionate about. So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now.
总之,职业能力倾向测验显然是一个十分有用的工具。然而,重要的是要记住,它们仅供指导之用。职业生涯成功的秘诀在于找到你所热爱的。所以,尝试一些这样的网络测验,然后马上开始思考你未来的职业吧!

话题阅读小故事 ——弄清楚你想做什么
WORKING OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
弄清楚你想做什么
As an adult, one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is, "What do you do ?"This is because your career is a very important part of who you are. The career you have defines your life, and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people.
作为一名成年人,你结识新朋友时首先被问及的问题之一是:“你是做什么工作的?”这是因为你的职业是你身份的一个重要组成部分。你所从事的职业决定了你的生活,所以花点时间来思考它,对年轻人来说是项至关重要的锻炼。
The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school, before you make any choices about your further education. This,however, is not always easy. Some people know what they want to do from young age, but many others just have a few ideas bouncing around in their heads.开始考虑自己可能从事的职业的最佳时间,是你还在学校的时候,在你对自己的继续深造作出任何选择之前。然而,这并不总是那么容易。有些人年轻时就清楚自己想做什么,但更多的人只是有一些想法在脑子里晃来晃去。
One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a"career aptitude test". The results of the test will tell you about your strengths and interests, and some tests also suggest careers that you may be suited to. Having this information will provide you with a better chance of finding a job you like. There are many free tests online, so give one a try.Getting a head start in considering your future career may help you for the rest of your life. You dont want to look back in years to come and say, "I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do."
要想洞察可能从事的职业道路,最有效的方法之一是完成“职业能力倾向测验”。从测验结果能看出你的强项和兴趣,一些测验还会就你可能适合的职业提出建议。拥有这些信息将会为你提供更好的机会来找到你喜欢的工作。网上有很多免费测验,所以尝试一下吧。在考虑你的未来职业方面早做打算,可能会让你终身受益。你不会想在以后的岁月里回望过去时说:“要是当时我能对我想做的事情多考虑考虑就好了。”
There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask question about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios, like working as a librarian or a lawyer. Of course, while completing these sorts of tests, it is very important to be honest—and dont worry-there are no right or wrong answers.有很多不同种类的职业能力倾向测验。有些测验会问一些关于你的个人兴趣和态度的问题。另一些测验则更侧重于让你给不同类型的工作场景打分,比如说当图书管理员或律师。当然,在做这些测验时,诚实是非常重要的—无须担心,答案没有对错之分。
One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks. Their answers are then analysed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant's overall work personality.This code is then used to generate a list of career suggestions.
有一项流行的测验要求参与者给自己对各种工作任务的偏好打分。参与者的回答随后会被分析并划分为六种不同类型的职业性格。然后为参与者提供一张图表,显示他们在每一种职业性格上的得分。最高的三项得分会用来组成一个代码,以显示参与者的整体职业性格,然后用这个代码生成一个职业建议列表。
The career suggestions are also based on your education and experience level,but you can look at higher-level careers as well, which is very useful for high school students. For example, you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now, and then look at the more advanced career so you know what you may like to aim for in the future. This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there.
职业建议也基于你的教育和经验水平,但是你也可以看看更高层次的职业,这对高中生非常有用。例如,你可以看看基础性的职业,以了解你现在可能喜欢什么工作,然后再看看更高级别的职业,这样你就知道未来你可能想要以什么为目标。这是一个很好的工具,可以帮助规划你的职业,让你知道你需要达成什么目标才能实现理想。
In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool. However, it is important to remember that they are only meant for guidance. The secret to a good career is finding something that you are passionate about. So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now.
总之,职业能力倾向测验显然是一个十分有用的工具。然而,重要的是要记住,它们仅供指导之用。职业生涯成功的秘诀在于找到你所热爱的。所以,尝试一些这样的网络测验,然后马上开始思考你未来的职业吧!

长难句解析
原句:(第二段第一句)On July 31,Yun found there was too much rapid water under a bridge because of heavy rain.
译文:7月31日,鹏发现由于暴雨,桥下的水流湍急。
分析:本句是一个复合句。there was too much...because of heavy rain 是省略了引导词that的宾语从句,作found的宾语。
参考答案:
面对灾情和危机,中国铁路人贠鹏和同事们积极奋战,清理路线,安置列车上的乘客并成功带领他们安全撤离。
1.A根据下文内容可知,此处指不久前,他帮助拯救了数百人。
2.B 根据空前的“too much rapid water under abridge”可知,桥下的水流湍急。由此可推知,此处指雨很大。heavy“大量的”,符合语境。
3.C根据语境可知,载有约980人的K396次列车即将过桥。cross“穿过;越过”,符合语境。
4.D 根据上文内容可知,鹏发现桥下的水流湍急,然而,载有约980人的K396次列车即将过桥;再根据空后的“Yun asked his colleagues...to the station"可知,他让同事把列车召回车站。由此可推知,此处指贠鹏意识到了情况有多么危险。
5.D 根据上一句中的“Yun asked his colleagues to call the train back to the station”可知,贠鹏让同事把列车召回车站。故此处指列车返回后,很快一条隧道发生了塌方。turn back“返回”,符合语境。turn up“露面”;turn down“调低”;turn off“关掉”。
6.A 根据上一句中的landslide 以及空前的“water rose in no time”可知,不久后发生了塌方,故此处指水位很快上涨,石块开始掉落。
7.B根据上文可知,桥下的水流湍急,水位很快上涨且石块开始掉落。由此可推知,情况十分危险,故此处指贠鹏以为会在那里丢掉性命。
8.A根据空前的“Luckily,a senior colleague led them out"可知,此处指幸运的是,一位资深同事将他们安全地领了出来。
9.C 根据空后的in their dormitories可知,贠鹏和他的同事把乘客安置在他们的集体宿舍中。place“安置”,符合语境。
10.C 根据上文可知,贠鹏和他的同事既要清理塌方后的隧道,还要安置乘客。故此处指他们很疲倦,但雨一停,他们就去清理铁轨了。
11.A 空前的“没有大型机器可供使用”和空后的“他们只能用手和铁铲”构成因果关系,空后内容是空前内容的结果,故选so。
12.C 根据空前的dig a way 和空后的the passengers可知,此处指虽然列车过不去,但他们要为乘客挖一条路出去。介词for表示“为了”,符合语境。
13.A根据空后的“helped all the passengers walk out"可知,贠鹏自愿带路并帮助所有的乘客走了出去。lead the way“带路”。
14.D根据下文贠鹏说的话可知,贠鹏给出了肯定的回复。由此推测,此处指有人问贠鹏那么做是否值得。whether“是否”,符合语境。
15.B根据语境并结合选项可知,此处指即使一切重来,他依然会冲到前线。front“前线”,符合语境。
