Interviewer: Welcome to Career Talk. Today we are honored to have Ms. Zhang Wei, HR Director of Sunrise Technology, a fast-growing software company based in Nanjing. Ms. Zhang, thank you for joining us.
Ms. Zhang: Thank you for having me. I am happy to share some thoughts that may help young job seekers.
Interviewer: Your company hires many vocational school graduates every year. What do you look for most in a candidate during an interview?
Ms. Zhang: That is an excellent question. Many applicants think we only care about their technical skills or certificates. While those are important, what truly impresses us is a candidate's attitude toward learning and growth. We once hired a young programmer who had only basic coding skills, but during the interview, he showed us a small app he had built in his free time simply because he was curious about mobile development. That kind of self-driven learning tells us more about a person's potential than any certificate can.
Interviewer: That is very insightful. What common mistakes do you see young applicants make in interviews?
Ms. Zhang: The most common one is not doing enough research about the company before the interview. I remember one candidate who applied for a marketing position but could not name a single product our company sells. Another mistake is giving prepared answers that sound like they were copied from the Internet. We can tell when someone is being genuine and when they are just saying what they think we want to hear. Honesty and authenticity go a long way.
Interviewer: What advice would you give to vocational school students who are about to start their job search?
Ms. Zhang: Three things. First, do not underestimate the value of internships and part-time work — even a short experience can teach you responsibility and communication. Second, keep learning. The technology industry changes every year, and the most successful employees are those who never stop developing new skills. Third, do not be afraid of rejection. I myself was turned down by seven companies before I got my first HR job. Every "no" brings you closer to the right "yes."
Interviewer: That is very encouraging. Thank you, Ms. Zhang, for these valuable insights.
Ms. Zhang: My pleasure. I wish all young job seekers the best of luck.
21. According to Ms. Zhang, what quality does her company value most in job candidates?
A. A large number of professional certificates.
B. A positive attitude toward learning and self-improvement.
C. Several years of work experience in the same industry.
D. A university degree from a well-known institution.
22. Why does Ms. Zhang mention the young programmer who built an app in his free time?
A. To show that coding skills are the most important qualification.
B. To prove that vocational school graduates cannot find good jobs.
C. To illustrate that self-driven learning reveals a person's true potential.
D. To suggest that all applicants should build mobile apps before interviews.
23. What is the second common mistake young applicants make according to the interview?
A. Arriving late for the job interview.
B. Asking too many questions about salary.
C. Giving answers that lack honesty and originality.
D. Wearing clothes that are too casual for the occasion.
24. What can be inferred about Ms. Zhang's own career journey?
A. She got her first HR job without any difficulties.
B. She experienced failure before achieving career success.
C. She never applied for jobs outside the HR field.
D. She believes rejection always means the candidate is not good enough.
25. Where can this interview most probably be found?
A. In a textbook about computer programming. B. On a career advice program or website.
C. In a company's annual financial report. D. On a travel and tourism information page.
C
Wang Tao grew up in a small town in northern Jiangsu, where most young people either worked in local factories or moved to big cities for construction jobs. His father had been a factory worker for twenty years, and his mother ran a small breakfast stand near the town's only bus station. From an early age, Wang Tao knew he wanted something different, though he was not sure what that "something" was.
At sixteen, Wang Tao entered a vocational school and chose to study Computer Application, not because he loved computers, but because a teacher had told him that "the future belongs to those who understand technology." For the first year, he struggled. The textbooks were difficult, and many of his classmates seemed to pick up programming much faster than he did. There were nights when he sat in the school library, staring at lines of code he could not understand, wondering whether he had made the wrong choice.
The turning point came during his second year when the school organized a visit to a local software company. Wang Tao watched as a team of young programmers worked together on a mobile app that helped farmers in the region check crop prices in real time. For the first time, he saw technology not as abstract knowledge in a textbook, but as a tool that could solve real problems for real people. He asked one of the programmers how long it had taken to learn these skills. The young man smiled and said, "I am still learning. That is the nature of this field — you never stop."
Inspired by that visit, Wang Tao changed his approach. Instead of simply trying to pass exams, he began working on small projects: a simple website for his mother's breakfast stand, a class schedule app for his schoolmates, and later, a volunteer platform that connected elderly residents in his town with young people who could help them with shopping. Each project taught him something new, and more importantly, each project gave him a sense of purpose.
After graduation, Wang Tao applied for a position at the very company he had visited two years earlier. During the interview, he did not just talk about his grades. He showed the interviewer the projects he had built and explained why he had built them. He talked about the farmers who could now check crop prices on their phones and the elderly residents who no longer felt alone. The interviewer later told him that it was not his technical skills that got him the job — it was his ability to see technology as a way to serve others. Today, Wang Tao is a junior developer at that company, and every morning when he walks into the office, he remembers the night in the library when he almost gave up, and he is grateful that he did not.
26. Why did Wang Tao choose to study Computer Application at first?
A. He had been interested in computers since childhood.
B. A teacher told him technology was important for the future.
C. His parents wanted him to become a programmer.
D. He wanted to help farmers check crop prices online.
27. What changed Wang Tao's attitude toward learning technology?
A. He received a high score on a programming exam.
B. His classmates helped him understand the code better.
C. He saw technology being used to solve real-world problems.
D. His mother asked him to build a website for her business.
28. What does the young programmer's reply "I am still learning" suggest?
A. He was not good at his job and needed more training.
B. Continuous learning is a natural part of working in technology.
C. The company did not provide enough training for new employees.
D. He wanted Wang Tao to feel better about his own slow progress.
29. What was the most important reason Wang Tao got the job according to the interviewer?
A. His excellent grades in computer programming courses.
B. His ability to understand technology as a means to help others.
C. His experience of working at several different companies.
D. His father's long working experience at the local factory.
30. Which of the following best describes the main message of the story?
A. Vocational school students should only study computer programming.
B. Success comes from finding meaning and purpose in what you learn.
C. Factory jobs are always worse than technology jobs.
D. Teachers should tell all students to enter the technology industry.
D
In recent years, a quiet but significant change has been taking place in China's job market: vocational school graduates are increasingly being recognized not just as skilled workers, but as valuable contributors to the country's economic transformation. This shift reflects both changes in employer attitudes and the growing sophistication(复杂性)of vocational education itself.
Traditionally, many Chinese parents and students viewed vocational education as a second choice — a path for those who could not enter academic high schools or universities. However, this perception is rapidly changing. According to a 2025 report by the Ministry of Education, the employment rate for vocational school graduates reached 96.3%, higher than that of many university graduates. More importantly, the average starting salary for vocational graduates in fields such as advanced manufacturing, information technology, and modern services has been growing at a rate of 8% to 12% annually, outpacing the general wage growth in many regions.
Several factors have contributed to this trend. First, China's economic structure is shifting from labor-intensive manufacturing to technology-driven industries, creating strong demand for workers who possess both practical skills and theoretical knowledge. Second, the government has invested heavily in upgrading vocational schools, introducing industry partnerships, modern equipment, and updated curricula that better match market needs. Third, companies themselves are changing their hiring practices. A growing number of employers now say they value practical problem-solving ability and a strong work ethic more than academic degrees.
For individual graduates, the path to a successful career is not always straightforward. Research shows that the most successful vocational graduates share certain characteristics: they actively seek internships and part-time work during their studies, they continue learning new skills after entering the workforce, and they are willing to start in entry-level positions and work their way up. Those who expect immediate high salaries and comfortable office environments without putting in effort often find themselves disappointed.
Looking ahead, experts predict that the demand for skilled vocational graduates will continue to grow, particularly in fields related to green energy, elder care, digital services, and smart manufacturing. The challenge for educators and policymakers is to ensure that vocational training keeps pace with these rapidly evolving industries. For students, the message is clear: vocational education is no longer a fallback option. With the right attitude, continuous learning, and a willingness to adapt, it can be a direct path to a fulfilling and well-paid career.
31. What is the main change described in the first paragraph?
A. Vocational schools are closing down across China.
B. University graduates are earning more than before.
C. Vocational graduates are gaining more recognition in the job market.
D. The number of vocational students is decreasing rapidly.
32. What can be inferred from the employment data mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. University graduates have higher employment rates than vocational graduates.
B. Vocational education is producing outcomes that challenge traditional views.
C. The starting salary for all workers in China is decreasing.
D. Most vocational graduates work in agriculture and construction.
33. What does the underlined word "sophistication" in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. The quality of being simple and easy to understand.
B. The state of becoming more complex and advanced.
C. The process of becoming less important over time.
D. The ability to finish tasks as quickly as possible.
34. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To criticize vocational graduates for having unrealistic expectations.
B. To describe the personal qualities that lead to career success for graduates.
C. To explain why some vocational schools are better than others.
D. To compare the salaries of different types of vocational jobs.
35. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Vocational Education in China.
B. How to Choose Between University and Vocational School.
C. The Rising Value of Vocational Education in Modern China.
D. Why Traditional Manufacturing Jobs Are Disappearing.
三、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
My name is Li Xiang, and I am a vocational school graduate. Unlike many of my classmates who knew exactly what they wanted to do, I spent my first year after graduation feeling completely _______ 36 _______. I had studied Logistics Management, but after sending out dozens of applications and attending several interviews, I still had not received a single job offer.
The problem, as I later _______ 37 _______, was not my qualifications — it was my attitude. During interviews, when managers asked why I wanted the job, I gave answers that were technically correct but emotionally _______ 38 _______. I said things like "I need a job" or "the salary seems fair," without showing any real interest in the work itself. One interviewer even told me directly, "You seem like a capable young man, but I cannot tell what you are truly _______ 39 _______ about."
That honest feedback, though painful to hear, became a turning point. I decided to change my _______ 40 _______. Instead of treating job interviews as tests I needed to pass, I began seeing them as conversations where I could learn about companies and discover what kind of work would truly _______ 41 _______ me. I started researching each company carefully before applying, not just to prepare answers, but to understand whether their values _______ 42 _______ my own.
The change paid off. Two months later, I received an offer from a logistics company that specialized _______ 43 _______ green supply chain solutions. During the interview, I did not just talk about my diploma or my internship. I shared my thoughts on how technology could make delivery systems more environmentally friendly. The manager later told me that my _______ 44 _______ for the topic was what set me apart from other candidates.
Looking back, I realize that finding a job is not just about having the right skills on paper. It is about understanding yourself well enough to know where you _______ 45 _______, and having the courage to show that understanding to others. Sometimes, the most important interview preparation is not practising answers — it is discovering who you really are.
36. A. confident B. lost C. excited D. satisfied
37. A. realized B. forgot C. doubted D. refused
38. A. warm B. strong C. empty D. detailed

Interviewer: Welcome to Career Talk. Today we are honored to have Ms. Zhang Wei, HR Director of Sunrise Technology, a fast-growing software company based in Nanjing. Ms. Zhang, thank you for joining us.
Ms. Zhang: Thank you for having me. I am happy to share some thoughts that may help young job seekers.
Interviewer: Your company hires many vocational school graduates every year. What do you look for most in a candidate during an interview?
Ms. Zhang: That is an excellent question. Many applicants think we only care about their technical skills or certificates. While those are important, what truly impresses us is a candidate's attitude toward learning and growth. We once hired a young programmer who had only basic coding skills, but during the interview, he showed us a small app he had built in his free time simply because he was curious about mobile development. That kind of self-driven learning tells us more about a person's potential than any certificate can.
Interviewer: That is very insightful. What common mistakes do you see young applicants make in interviews?
Ms. Zhang: The most common one is not doing enough research about the company before the interview. I remember one candidate who applied for a marketing position but could not name a single product our company sells. Another mistake is giving prepared answers that sound like they were copied from the Internet. We can tell when someone is being genuine and when they are just saying what they think we want to hear. Honesty and authenticity go a long way.
Interviewer: What advice would you give to vocational school students who are about to start their job search?
Ms. Zhang: Three things. First, do not underestimate the value of internships and part-time work — even a short experience can teach you responsibility and communication. Second, keep learning. The technology industry changes every year, and the most successful employees are those who never stop developing new skills. Third, do not be afraid of rejection. I myself was turned down by seven companies before I got my first HR job. Every "no" brings you closer to the right "yes."
Interviewer: That is very encouraging. Thank you, Ms. Zhang, for these valuable insights.
Ms. Zhang: My pleasure. I wish all young job seekers the best of luck.
21. According to Ms. Zhang, what quality does her company value most in job candidates?
A. A large number of professional certificates.
B. A positive attitude toward learning and self-improvement.
C. Several years of work experience in the same industry.
D. A university degree from a well-known institution.
22. Why does Ms. Zhang mention the young programmer who built an app in his free time?
A. To show that coding skills are the most important qualification.
B. To prove that vocational school graduates cannot find good jobs.
C. To illustrate that self-driven learning reveals a person's true potential.
D. To suggest that all applicants should build mobile apps before interviews.
23. What is the second common mistake young applicants make according to the interview?
A. Arriving late for the job interview.
B. Asking too many questions about salary.
C. Giving answers that lack honesty and originality.
D. Wearing clothes that are too casual for the occasion.
24. What can be inferred about Ms. Zhang's own career journey?
A. She got her first HR job without any difficulties.
B. She experienced failure before achieving career success.
C. She never applied for jobs outside the HR field.
D. She believes rejection always means the candidate is not good enough.
25. Where can this interview most probably be found?
A. In a textbook about computer programming. B. On a career advice program or website.
C. In a company's annual financial report. D. On a travel and tourism information page.

Wang Tao grew up in a small town in northern Jiangsu, where most young people either worked in local factories or moved to big cities for construction jobs. His father had been a factory worker for twenty years, and his mother ran a small breakfast stand near the town's only bus station. From an early age, Wang Tao knew he wanted something different, though he was not sure what that "something" was.
At sixteen, Wang Tao entered a vocational school and chose to study Computer Application, not because he loved computers, but because a teacher had told him that "the future belongs to those who understand technology." For the first year, he struggled. The textbooks were difficult, and many of his classmates seemed to pick up programming much faster than he did. There were nights when he sat in the school library, staring at lines of code he could not understand, wondering whether he had made the wrong choice.
The turning point came during his second year when the school organized a visit to a local software company. Wang Tao watched as a team of young programmers worked together on a mobile app that helped farmers in the region check crop prices in real time. For the first time, he saw technology not as abstract knowledge in a textbook, but as a tool that could solve real problems for real people. He asked one of the programmers how long it had taken to learn these skills. The young man smiled and said, "I am still learning. That is the nature of this field — you never stop."
Inspired by that visit, Wang Tao changed his approach. Instead of simply trying to pass exams, he began working on small projects: a simple website for his mother's breakfast stand, a class schedule app for his schoolmates, and later, a volunteer platform that connected elderly residents in his town with young people who could help them with shopping. Each project taught him something new, and more importantly, each project gave him a sense of purpose.
After graduation, Wang Tao applied for a position at the very company he had visited two years earlier. During the interview, he did not just talk about his grades. He showed the interviewer the projects he had built and explained why he had built them. He talked about the farmers who could now check crop prices on their phones and the elderly residents who no longer felt alone. The interviewer later told him that it was not his technical skills that got him the job — it was his ability to see technology as a way to serve others. Today, Wang Tao is a junior developer at that company, and every morning when he walks into the office, he remembers the night in the library when he almost gave up, and he is grateful that he did not.
26. Why did Wang Tao choose to study Computer Application at first?
A. He had been interested in computers since childhood.
B. A teacher told him technology was important for the future.
C. His parents wanted him to become a programmer.
D. He wanted to help farmers check crop prices online.
27. What changed Wang Tao's attitude toward learning technology?
A. He received a high score on a programming exam.
B. His classmates helped him understand the code better.
C. He saw technology being used to solve real-world problems.
D. His mother asked him to build a website for her business.
28. What does the young programmer's reply "I am still learning" suggest?
A. He was not good at his job and needed more training.
B. Continuous learning is a natural part of working in technology.
C. The company did not provide enough training for new employees.
D. He wanted Wang Tao to feel better about his own slow progress.
29. What was the most important reason Wang Tao got the job according to the interviewer?
A. His excellent grades in computer programming courses.
B. His ability to understand technology as a means to help others.
C. His experience of working at several different companies.
D. His father's long working experience at the local factory.
30. Which of the following best describes the main message of the story?
A. Vocational school students should only study computer programming.
B. Success comes from finding meaning and purpose in what you learn.
C. Factory jobs are always worse than technology jobs.
D. Teachers should tell all students to enter the technology industry.

In recent years, a quiet but significant change has been taking place in China's job market: vocational school graduates are increasingly being recognized not just as skilled workers, but as valuable contributors to the country's economic transformation. This shift reflects both changes in employer attitudes and the growing sophistication(复杂性)of vocational education itself.
Traditionally, many Chinese parents and students viewed vocational education as a second choice — a path for those who could not enter academic high schools or universities. However, this perception is rapidly changing. According to a 2025 report by the Ministry of Education, the employment rate for vocational school graduates reached 96.3%, higher than that of many university graduates. More importantly, the average starting salary for vocational graduates in fields such as advanced manufacturing, information technology, and modern services has been growing at a rate of 8% to 12% annually, outpacing the general wage growth in many regions.
Several factors have contributed to this trend. First, China's economic structure is shifting from labor-intensive manufacturing to technology-driven industries, creating strong demand for workers who possess both practical skills and theoretical knowledge. Second, the government has invested heavily in upgrading vocational schools, introducing industry partnerships, modern equipment, and updated curricula that better match market needs. Third, companies themselves are changing their hiring practices. A growing number of employers now say they value practical problem-solving ability and a strong work ethic more than academic degrees.
For individual graduates, the path to a successful career is not always straightforward. Research shows that the most successful vocational graduates share certain characteristics: they actively seek internships and part-time work during their studies, they continue learning new skills after entering the workforce, and they are willing to start in entry-level positions and work their way up. Those who expect immediate high salaries and comfortable office environments without putting in effort often find themselves disappointed.
Looking ahead, experts predict that the demand for skilled vocational graduates will continue to grow, particularly in fields related to green energy, elder care, digital services, and smart manufacturing. The challenge for educators and policymakers is to ensure that vocational training keeps pace with these rapidly evolving industries. For students, the message is clear: vocational education is no longer a fallback option. With the right attitude, continuous learning, and a willingness to adapt, it can be a direct path to a fulfilling and well-paid career.
31. What is the main change described in the first paragraph?
A. Vocational schools are closing down across China.
B. University graduates are earning more than before.
C. Vocational graduates are gaining more recognition in the job market.
D. The number of vocational students is decreasing rapidly.
32. What can be inferred from the employment data mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. University graduates have higher employment rates than vocational graduates.
B. Vocational education is producing outcomes that challenge traditional views.
C. The starting salary for all workers in China is decreasing.
D. Most vocational graduates work in agriculture and construction.
33. What does the underlined word "sophistication" in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. The quality of being simple and easy to understand.
B. The state of becoming more complex and advanced.
C. The process of becoming less important over time.
D. The ability to finish tasks as quickly as possible.
34. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To criticize vocational graduates for having unrealistic expectations.
B. To describe the personal qualities that lead to career success for graduates.
C. To explain why some vocational schools are better than others.
D. To compare the salaries of different types of vocational jobs.
35. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Vocational Education in China.
B. How to Choose Between University and Vocational School.
C. The Rising Value of Vocational Education in Modern China.
D. Why Traditional Manufacturing Jobs Are Disappearing.

三、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
My name is Li Xiang, and I am a vocational school graduate. Unlike many of my classmates who knew exactly what they wanted to do, I spent my first year after graduation feeling completely _______ 36 _______. I had studied Logistics Management, but after sending out dozens of applications and attending several interviews, I still had not received a single job offer.
The problem, as I later _______ 37 _______, was not my qualifications — it was my attitude. During interviews, when managers asked why I wanted the job, I gave answers that were technically correct but emotionally _______ 38 _______. I said things like "I need a job" or "the salary seems fair," without showing any real interest in the work itself. One interviewer even told me directly, "You seem like a capable young man, but I cannot tell what you are truly _______ 39 _______ about."
That honest feedback, though painful to hear, became a turning point. I decided to change my _______ 40 _______. Instead of treating job interviews as tests I needed to pass, I began seeing them as conversations where I could learn about companies and discover what kind of work would truly _______ 41 _______ me. I started researching each company carefully before applying, not just to prepare answers, but to understand whether their values _______ 42 _______ my own.
The change paid off. Two months later, I received an offer from a logistics company that specialized _______ 43 _______ green supply chain solutions. During the interview, I did not just talk about my diploma or my internship. I shared my thoughts on how technology could make delivery systems more environmentally friendly. The manager later told me that my _______ 44 _______ for the topic was what set me apart from other candidates.
Looking back, I realize that finding a job is not just about having the right skills on paper. It is about understanding yourself well enough to know where you _______ 45 _______, and having the courage to show that understanding to others. Sometimes, the most important interview preparation is not practising answers — it is discovering who you really are.

【参考范文】
Dear Ms. Li,
I am writing to share some exciting news with you. I have just received a job offer from Bright Future Trading Company as an export sales assistant! I could not wait to tell you because I know how much you have helped me along the way.
The interview process was challenging but rewarding. The HR manager asked me many questions about international trade and customer communication, and I was able to answer them confidently because of the business English knowledge I learned in your class. My business English certificate, which you encouraged me to get, really made a difference. The manager said my ability to communicate in English was one of the main reasons they chose me.
I am truly grateful for your guidance and encouragement over the past three years. You not only taught me English, but also showed me the importance of working hard and never giving up. I will start my new job next month, and I promise to keep learning and growing.
Thank you again for everything. I look forward to visiting you at school soon.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Ming
