Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
What should you think about when you try 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 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 or weak 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.
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 mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a parttime job on Saturday or in the summer, 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 weaknesses 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 feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
1．The first paragraph of the passage is mainly about
________.
A. the indirect value of school work
B. the importance of being good at all subjects
C. knowing one's strong or weak subjects at school
D. one's school performance in choosing a career
答案与解析 D 段意归纳题。找工作时应当考虑什么？考虑你的优势科目和薄弱科目。虽然并非全部的科目都可直接用于工作，但是都可能有间接的价值。
2. In the writer's opinion, for a student to have a parttime job is probably ________.
A. a good way to find out his weak points
B. one of the best ways of earning extra money
C. of great use for his work in the future
D. a waste of time he could have spent on study
答案与解析 C 推理推断题。第三段中作者提到“... think what you gained from it.”并通过“You may have learned how to ...; You may have learned to give ..., you may become interested in ...”来阐述parttime job的好处。
3．If a student's school record is not good, according to the passage, he ________.
A. may still do well in his future work
B. won't be able to find a suitable job
C. may be a complete failure in the future
D. will regret not having worked harder at school
答案与解析 A 推理推断题。从最终一段“Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet ... You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.”可以推断：即使在校成果不好，仍有可能做好以后的工作。
4. The whole passage centers around ________.
A. trusting oneself in looking for a job
B. developing one's abilities useful in school
C. gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
D. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in
答案与解析 D 主旨大意题。文章阐述找工作时要考虑自己的特长和弱点。

Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award.

His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1996～1997 season, he scored a surprising goal from beyond the halfway line. Seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal，Beckham sent the ball over the goalkeeper's head and into the goal. It was a wonderful goal and Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from freekicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph.
