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. 作为一个成年人，当你遇到一个新朋友时，你首先被问到的问题之一是，"你是做什么的？"这是因为你的职业是你的一个非常重要的组成部分。你所从事的职业决定了你的生活，因此花时间思考对年轻人来说是一项必不可少的锻炼。 【重点必背】 career n. 职业；事业 essential adj. 完全必要的；极其重要的 Paragraph 2 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 a young age, but many others just have a few ideas bouncing around in their heads. 开始考虑可能的职业的最佳时机是在你还在学校的时候，在你对你的继续教育做出任何选择之前。然而，这并不总是容易的。有些人从小就知道自己想做什么，但也有许多人只是脑子里蹦蹦跳跳着一些想法。 【重点必背】bounce around蹦来蹦去；弹来弹去（此处指想法在脑中跳来跳去） Paragraph 3 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. 对可能的职业道路有一些见解的最有效的方法之一是完成"职业能力倾向测试"。测试结果会告诉你你的优势和兴趣，有些测试也会建议你适合的职业。有了这些信息，你就有更好的机会找到你喜欢的工作。 【重点必背】 insight n. 洞察力；眼光 aptitude n. 天资；天赋 suited to适合 provide with提供 Paragraph 4 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 don't want to look back in years to come and say, "I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do." 网上有很多免费的考试，试试看吧。在考虑你未来的职业生涯时抢先一步可能会对你的余生有所帮助。你不会想在未来的岁月里回首往事，说："我真希望我能多想想自己真正想做的事情。" 【重点必背】head start起步前的优势 【课文佳句】 You don't want to look back in years to come and say, "I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do."（wish后的虚拟语气）你也不希望多年之后回顾过去时才说："我真希望当年能再多想想自己真正想要做什么。" Paragraph 5 There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions 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 don't worry---there are no right or wrong answers. 职业能力倾向测试有很多种。有些人会问一些关于你个人兴趣和态度的问题。其他人则更关注于让你对不同类型的工作场景进行评分，比如当图书管理员或律师。当然，在完成这类测试时，诚实是非常重要的，不要担心没有对错答案。 【重点必背】 scenario n.场景；设想 librarian n. 图书管理员；图书馆馆长 lawyer n. 律师→ law n. 法律 Paragraph 6 One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks. Their answers are then analyzed 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. 一个流行的测试要求参与者对各种工作任务的偏好进行评分。然后对他们的答案进行分析，并将其分为六种不同类型的工作性格。然后给参与者一张图表，显示他们对每种工作个性的得分。前三名的分数用来制作一个代码，表明参与者的整体工作个性。然后使用此代码生成职业建议列表。 【重点必背】 analyse/analyze vt. 分析→ analysis n. 分析 code n. 代码；密码 vt. 编码；把……译成密码 generate vt. 产生；引起 Paragraph 7 Your test results are below. Your work personality code is A-I-R. R: Hands on, active, technical I: Observant, intellectual A: Creative, imaginative, original S: Helpful, people-oriented, responsible E: Persuasive, confident C: Organized, detail-oriented 你的测试结果如下。你的工作个性代码是A-I-R。 R：动手，主动，技术 I：敏锐的，聪明的 A：富有创意、想象力、独创性 S：乐于助人，以人为本，负责任 E：有说服力，自信 C：有条理，注重细节 【重点必背】detail-oriented注重细节 Paragraph 8 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 careers 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，但你也可以考虑更高层次的职业，这对高中生非常有用。例如，你可以看看基本的职业，看看你现在喜欢什么样的工作，然后再看看更高级的职业，这样你就知道你未来的目标是什么。这是一个很好的工具来帮助你规划你的职业生涯，让你知道你需要达到什么目标才能达到。 【重点必背】 aim for以……为目标 target n. 目标；对象；靶子 vt. 把……作为攻击目标 Paragraph 9 In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool.
