Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter.Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online.Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management.Check regularly and find the right work for yourself.People who read newspapers can also find different kinds of greencollar jobs.

What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a parttime job on Saturdays or in the summer holiday, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a parttime job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be sorry about it but instead recognise that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
5.We can infer from the first paragraph that ________ .
A.learning better at school shows power in your job
B.the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful it is in your career
C.learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs
D.we should think about how to find our career

Ⅱ.阅读填句
You are out of work.You hate your job. ____1____ You are looking for your first job.Where do you start?
If you are like most Americans, you'll probably email your rsum to a lot of companies. You might search for job postings on the Internet. But experts say you won't have much luck.
One thing you can do is read Richard N. Bolles's What Color Is Your Parachute? This book is different from other jobhunting manuals. Bolles helps you find your ideal job: a job that fits you, a job that makes you happy. What kind of job is ideal for you?You need to have a clear picture in your mind of the job you want. ____2____
Bolles says that you must think about three things before you can find your ideal job:
1.Your skills. What do you like to do? What do you do well? Are you good at talking to groups? Growing vegetables? Teaching? Drawing on the computer? ____3____ For example, a mother of four children is probably good at managing people (children!). This woman may be a good manager.
2. ____4____ Where do you like to work? Do you like to work outside? At home? In an office? Alone or with others? What kind of people do you like to work with?
3. Job rewards. How much money do you need? How much money do you want? Do you need a lot of vacation time? ____5____ What makes you feel good about a job?
So, if you are looking for a job or if you have a job but want a new one, remember: Don't just email your résumé out to every company. Don't just answer Internet job postings. And don't wait for friends to give you a job.
A.Job settings.
B.Job description.
C.What else do you want from a job?
D.The book was first written in 1970.
E.You aren't satisfied with your career.
F.Bolles asks you to think about all your skills.
G.The book has many exercises to help you draw this picture.
[语篇解读] 本文主要介绍了当你找工作的时候,先读一读理查德·鲍利斯的《你的降落伞是什么颜色?》这本书。它会帮助你找到理想的工作。在找到理想的工作之前,你必须考虑三件事:你的技能、工作环境和工作报酬。
1.E [根据前文“You are out of work.You hate your job.”及空后的“You are looking for your first job.”可知,文章此处罗列种种情况均为设置一种情境:你要找工作。故E选项(你对自己的职业不满意)符合上下文语境,故选E。]
2.G [设空处前句中的have a clear picture与G选项中的this picture相呼应。本句应说明这本书能够帮助你清晰地认识到自己想要的工作。故选G。]
3.F [根据本段的主旨句Your skills.并结合设空处前的一系列问题可知,本句是在说明要思考自己有什么样的技能,故选F。]
4.A [该空为本段主旨句。根据后文的一系列问题可知,本段介绍的是“工作环境”,故选A。]
5.C [本段主旨句为Job rewards.且空前的问题已从不同角度询问了你对工作报酬的要求,故C选项(你还想从工作中得到什么?)符合上下文语境,故选C。]

[语篇解读] 文章介绍了高中生职业生涯规划的重要性。
1.will save [在含有时间、条件等状语从句的复合句中,时态遵循“主将从现”原则,即主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时表示将来含义。故填will save。]
2.to give [句意为:不提前做计划的学生也许会为了给自己时间决定而推迟上大学或参加额外课程的学习。设空处应填不定式,表示目的。故填to give。]
3.an [句意为:如果你额外花一年的时间留在学校,你可能要办理额外的贷款或花更多的钱来支付费用。year为可数名词,此处“额外的一年”为泛指,且extra的发音以元音音素开头,故填不定冠词an。]
4.loans [句意见上一题解析。take out loans意为“取得贷款,借款”。loan为可数名词,空前没有限定词,故填其复数形式loans。故填loans。]
5.chosen [设空处应填choose的非谓语动词形式,作定语,修饰industry,又因为choose与industry构成逻辑上的被动关系,故填过去分词chosen。]
6.which/that [句意为:如果你找到一个听起来有趣的职业,你可以找一个这个行业的人看看真正从事这份工作是什么样子的。该句中 sounds interesting为定语从句,修饰career,从句中缺少主语,故填关系代词which/that。]
7.really [句意见上一题解析。设空处应填副词修饰is like,故填really。]
8.for [句意为:你也可以找机会申请一个与你想要做的行业相关的非正式职位。apply for意为“申请”,为固定搭配。故填for。]
9.valuable [句意为:特别是你想在自己的专业领域找一份工作的话,职业人脉很重要。设空处和系动词are构成系表结构,故填value的形容词形式valuable。]
10.when/before [句意为:在你准备好做一份工作之时/当你准备好做一份工作前,如果你能尽己所能构建关系网,你更有可能会成功。根据语境,可用when/before引导状语从句,故填when/before。]
