Choosing a career as a teenager sounds like the silliest (愚蠢的) thing in the world. In fact, it seems hard to look at your parents and imagine yourself at their age, not to mention choosing your future career at fourteen or fifteen. However, it is a good idea to be active in your career planning, so you can build a strong basis for your future career.
Why Choose a Career as a Teenager?
In fact, it is amazing to choose the career that you will want to stay in until you are in your sixties. A survey of people born between 1957 and 1964 proves that as they grow older, they want to change their jobs more because of all the things they don’t like about their jobs. However, early career decisions, or at least understanding your interests, can help you get ready for your future career development. Decision-making and self-check matter a lot, and it is important to repeat them during your teenage and career planning.
How to Choose a Career as a Teenager?
Understand yourself and your interests better.
Learn all about possible career choices.
Do interviews for more information.
Ask yourself questions about work-life balance and personal values (价值).
Try to set some goals and make a timetable.
Think about your own income (收入) needs.
29. What does the writer think of choosing a career as a teenager?
A. It is the silliest thing in the world.
B. Teenagers should choose one at 14.
C. Parents decide their children’s jobs.

30. Teenagers can choose their career by ________.
A. understanding their interests B. putting personal values first
C. asking their parents questions D. knowing everything about jobs
31. It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that ________.
A. it is easy to predict yourself of your parents’ age
B self-check allows teens to know themselves better
C. people change jobs fewer times as they grow older
D. income needs are of little help in choosing a career

Taylor-Bessent has showed an interest in reading and writing stories when she was young. After finishing her study in creative writing at university, she set up Little Star Writing—an after-school creative club which she ran for many years. She went on to interview hundreds of writers for her website called Authorfy, before becoming a children’s writer herself. Her newest book, Race to Imagination Island, is the first in an exciting adventure (冒险) series studying the unlimited power of our imagination. Taylor-Bessent says writing for fun is important to development children’s creative abilities and dreams. “Anyone who has tried anything new, they would have to imagine it first,” Taylor-Bessent tells the Week Junior.
She enjoyed creating her own stories from a very young age. “In school, I was the writing kid,” she says. “I just loved hiding into a story.” After reading a report that said fewer and fewer children were writing for pure (单纯) happiness, Taylor-Bessent decided to open her YouTube channel, which offers tips for children on how to enjoy creative writing, just for fun.
Making a special writing place is a great way to start your project. “Create a fun writing environment, play some music, take a blanket, find a comfortable corner,” she says, adding that when you start writing, don’t worry about perfect spelling, punctuation and handwriting, just let your ideas fly. “Our writing will improve if we play with our words,” she says. “Write about what you enjoy.” You can even invite a friend to write with you for “twice the ideas, twice the imagination and twice the fun”.
Taylor-Bessent suggests that all children should try creative writing, “There is no such thing as a wrong idea. Writing will take you anywhere you want to go and your imagination is limitless,” she says.
32. Taylor-Bessent’s newest book is to show ________.
A. the unlimited power of imagination B. a local after-school creative club
C. how to develop children’s imagination D. how to become a children’s writer

C. let your thoughts come out freely D. improve the content of the writing
34. Which of the following ideas is NOT from Taylor-Bessent?
A. Creative careers require imagination.
B. A comfortable writing environment helps.
C. Language details matter during the writing.
D. Choosing subjects of interest improves writing.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Tips for Children’s Development B. Fun Writing with Imagination
C. Pure Pleasure of Creative Writing D. Children’s Abilities and Dreams

Art lovers in China may not know that a museum in Paris, the Musee Cernuschi, holds an important collection of Chinese art. Recently, an exhibition (展览) at Bund One Art Museum in Shanghai——The Journey of Ink, marks the first time some masterpieces from the Paris museum are on display in China.
Running until 5 January 2025, the exhibition shows 89 paintings from the collections of the Musee Cernuschi. Works by famous masters such as Zhang Daqian, Lin Fengmian, Qi Baishi and Sanyu are included.
The Musee Cernuschi’s collections of modern Chinese art have been displayed for more than 70 years, says Eric Lefebvre, general manager of the French museum. This year marks the 60th year of friendship between China and France. “so we think it is the best time to share the paintings with Shanghai.” he says.
While preparing for the show, Lefebvre discovered a narrative thread (叙事线) connecting the works and chose ink painting as the main theme. “Because ink comes from Chinese culture, viewing ink painting produces the feeling of its history,” says Mael Bellec, head of the Chinese collections at the Musee Cernuschi.
“We have chosen artworks from a century period to show how Chinese ink art changed and developed through the time.” The exhibition covers from paintings made at the beginning of the 20th century to the creations of living artists. “We search for a connection with the past in the paintings.” Bellec says.
“Many Chinese artists stayed in Paris and they did new things with what they learned. As a result, two cultures mix together and bring them new ideas.” Bellec says. The works of these Chinese painters also appear at the exhibition. What kind of artwork can be created when the romance (浪漫) of France and Chinese ink painting collide? Maybe art lovers can visit the exhibition to find out for themselves.
36. Which painting may be on display in the exhibition in Shanghai?

37. What led to this exhibition in Shanghai?
A. Needs of ink painters living in France.
B. Requirements from Chinese art lovers.

③ The exhibition is all about paintings from the 20th century.

Taylor-Bessent has showed an interest in reading and writing stories when she was young. After finishing her study in creative writing at university, she set up Little Star Writing—an after-school creative club which she ran for many years. She went on to interview hundreds of writers for her website called Authorfy, before becoming a children’s writer herself. Her newest book, Race to Imagination Island, is the first in an exciting adventure (冒险) series studying the unlimited power of our imagination. Taylor-Bessent says writing for fun is important to development children’s creative abilities and dreams. “Anyone who has tried anything new, they would have to imagine it first,” Taylor-Bessent tells the Week Junior.
She enjoyed creating her own stories from a very young age. “In school, I was the writing kid,” she says. “I just loved hiding into a story.” After reading a report that said fewer and fewer children were writing for pure (单纯的) happiness, Taylor-Bessent decided to open her YouTube channel, which offers tips for children on how to enjoy creative writing, just for fun.
Making a special writing place is a great way to start your project. “Create a fun writing environment, play some music, take a blanket, find a comfortable corner,” she says, adding that when you start writing, don’t worry about perfect spelling, punctuation and handwriting, just let your ideas fly. “Our writing will improve if we play with our words,” she says. “Write about what you enjoy.” You can even invite a friend to write with you for “twice the ideas, twice the imagination and twice the fun”.
Taylor-Bessent suggests that all children should try creative writing, “There is no such thing as a wrong idea. Writing will take you anywhere you want to go and your imagination is limitless,” she says.
32. Taylor-Bessent’s newest book is to show ________.
A. the unlimited power of imagination B. a local after-school creative club
C. how to develop children’s imagination D. how to become a children’s writer
33. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 advises children to ________.

C. let your thoughts come out freely D. improve the content of the writing
34. Which of the following ideas is NOT from Taylor-Bessent?
A. Creative careers require imagination.
B. A comfortable writing environment helps.
C. Language details matter during the writing.
D. Choosing subjects of interest improves writing.
35. What is the best title for the passage?

Art lovers in China may not know that a museum in Paris, the Musee Cernuschi, holds an important collection of Chinese art. Recently, an exhibition (展览) at Bund One Art Museum in Shanghai——The Journey of Ink, marks the first time some masterpieces from the Paris museum are on display in China.
Running until 5 January 2025, the exhibition shows 89 paintings from the collections of the Musee Cernuschi. Works by famous masters such as Zhang Daqian, Lin Fengmian, Qi Baishi and Sanyu are included.
The Musee Cernuschi’s collections of modern Chinese art have been displayed for more than 70 years, says Eric Lefebvre, general manager of the French museum. This year marks the 60th year of friendship between China and France. “so we think it is the best time to share the paintings with Shanghai.” he says.
While preparing for the show, Lefebvre discovered a narrative thread (叙事线) connecting the works and chose ink painting as the main theme. “Because ink comes from Chinese culture, viewing ink painting produces the feeling of its history,” says Mael Bellec, head of the Chinese collections at the Musee Cernuschi.
“We have chosen artworks from a century period to show how Chinese ink art changed and developed through the time.” The exhibition covers from paintings made at the beginning of the 20th century to the creations of living artists. “We search for a connection with the past in the paintings.” Bellec says.
“Many Chinese artists stayed in Paris and they did new things with what they learned. As a result, two cultures mix together and bring them new ideas.” Bellec says. The works of these Chinese painters also appear at the exhibition. What kind of artwork can be created when the romance (浪漫) of France and Chinese ink painting collide? Maybe art lovers can visit the exhibition to find out for themselves.

A. B. C. D.
37. What led to this exhibition in Shanghai?
A. Needs of ink painters living in France.

【答案】范文
Looking back at my growth, I think I have changed a lot. I used to be a shy and timid person, but now I’m more confident and independent. I can express my opinions bravely and make decisions on my own.
When dealing with problems, I first keep calm and analyze them carefully. Then, I search for possible solutions either from books or by asking for advice. If one way doesn’t work, I’ll try another.
Among those who have influenced me, my mother stands out. She has always been there for me. When I failed, she comforted me with warm words. Her belief in me and her encouragement to be brave have given me the strength to face difficulties and move forward in this journey of growth.
