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 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 schools. 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 part-time 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 par-time 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 bitter 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.

I was working as a consultant (顾问) in a beer company. My work was to help the president and senior vice-presidents make and carry out their new strategic ideas. It was a big challenge, and I must work very hard. At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.
I worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful, but it was what I wanted to do. My promise was to continue to do excellent consulting work during the days in the company, even though my evenings were very hard. I didn't want to bother the president with my situation, but I felt that someone in the company needed to know what was going on if I could not leave my mother at home someday. So I told the vice-president of Human Resources the truth, and asked him not to share the information with anyone else in the company.
A few days later, the president called me into his office. I thought that he wanted to talk with me about one of the many issues we were working on those days. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his desk, looked me in the eye, and said, "I hear that your mother is very ill."
I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears because I was really very tired. He just looked at me, let me cry, and then gently said a sentence that I would never forget, "Whatever you need, please let me know."
That was it. I believe that what comes from the heart goes to the heart. The president's understanding and his willingness to let me be in my pain and offer me everything are qualities of compassion (同情) that I have carried with me to this day and to the rest of my life.

Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can't be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.
Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?
Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat them like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity that's never forgotten.
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism, which often hurts rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One- Minute Manager, agrees. "Catch people doing something right!" he says. Then tell everyone about it.
Take informed risks. "The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise, "says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz." Sky divers don't go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes beforehand."
Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail-and not die athousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.
Encourage enthusiasm. "When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths," says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. That's a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself - You will be followed by everyone.
17. The underlined word "cultivated" (paragraph 1) roughly means
A. encouraged
B. compared
C. examined
D. developed
18. The part Always give credit tells us that a leader should
A. give helpful criticism
B. regard others as real heroes
C. praise people for their good performances
D. praise everyone
19. To be a good leader, you should
A. not be afraid of any risks
B. think twice before taking risks
C. try to avoid any possible failures
D. know what a thoughtless exercise is
20. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Leadership Is of Skills and Techniques
B. Leadership Is Very Important
C. Not Many Can Be Leaders
D. How to Be a Leader

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth the Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".
Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety
belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).
Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY)trend（趋势）in the U.S. continues to grow.
"We needed furniture（家具）for our living room,” says John Ross, "and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420."I was
deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course I should be able to fix the car by myself."
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so the can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who do n't have time to take

When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts（童子军），so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.
We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded（环绕）by cliffs （悬崖）.If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.
Several days later, the scoutmaster had to he away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.
We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river— we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.
An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep（悄悄移动）down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking every-where carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.
When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally
suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.
Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.

2016年高中英语竞赛【阅读理解30篇 青羊区高中英语词汇竞赛阅读材料30篇 记述文题材3篇 (A) The Brown Bear My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly. Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, ―Dad! The bear is right behind us!‖ An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger. I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long. Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear. The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break. Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felf panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I‘m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

高二英语能力竞赛试题 这篇关于《高二英语能力竞赛试题》的文章，是特地为大家整理的，希望对大家有所帮助！Ⅰ阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出选项，并将答案写在答题卷上。 A Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right? Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert his gaze, his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her. However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time; in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate （镇住，控制）you, you will feel disconcerted. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false ideas that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express. Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and specific situation. 1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. It is always very rude and aggressive to look at others for a long time. B. One’s feelings can be shown through their eyes. C. If a stranger looks at you for some time, he must be attracted at you.. D. If you are stared at by a stranger, you must look very awkward. 2. How can we tell if someone possibly lying? A. If he looks at you directly in the eye for too long. B. If he looks at you occasionally. C. If he looks honest. D. If he looks attentive. 3. What is suggested if you ate talking to others? A. You’d better look at the listener all the time. B. You are advised to try to dominate the listeners. C. You are supposed to look at the listeners from time to time. D. You should not make eye contact with listeners. 4. If two persons exchange eye contact gently for long, what is probably their relationship? A. Father and son. B. Strangers. C. Lovers. D. Teacher and student. 5. Where can we read this passage? A. In a textbook. . B. In a science journal. C. In a magazine. D. In a psychology report.

2012－2013学年度高二英语阅读竞赛试题 时间：100分钟分值：150分 第一节阅读理解（共55小题，每小题2分，满分110分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A World top-ranked badminton player Lin Dan said last Friday that he was a better player than Taufik Hidayat in the year of 2006 despite losing the Asian Games single title to the Indonesian Olympic champion. “I have ranked No.1 in the world for two straight years and I think people can easily come to a conclusion on who is a better player for the whole year,” said Lin Dan, also known a s Super Dan in the badminton world because of his marvelous performance in the sport. Hidayat beat Lin 21-15, 22-20 to give Indonesia its second gold medal in Doha on December 9, retaining his Asian Games singles title and avenging(报仇) two losses to the badminton world champion. Lin, 23, led China to the men’s team title after defeating Hidayat twice in three days, in the preliminary round and in the semifinals of the Asian Games. In their third meeting, Lin came up against a better-prepared Hidayat than he had encountered previously. Hidayat was cheered on by the noisy support from dancing and flag-waving Indonesian fans, who had converted the badminton arena into a national celebration even before the two players stepped on to the court. There’s been a lot of acrimony(言语的刻毒) between Hidayat and Lin, who this year won the single title in the world championships after former champion Hidayat crashed out in the quarterfinals. In Doha, Hidayat was quoted as calling Lin “arrogant” before the event be gan, but the two stars played down the rift. “It’s no problem, we’re close friends,” said Hidayat. “The media fabricated it.” Lin said last Friday in Beijing that he and Hidayat remain friends despite all the rumors. “There is no problem between Tauf ik and me although we don’t talk to each other very much,” said Lin. “Media tends to make up things in order to make their stories juicy.” 1. What does the underlined word “fabricated” mean? A. made up B. reported C. discovered D. found out 2. What is the relationship between the two players like? A. They are only opponents.
