高考英语二轮复习阅读训练及答案

高考英语二轮复习阅读训练1：

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 part-time job on Saturdays 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 part-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 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 apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will

have a chance

of a fresh start at work.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about

competition.

Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social

progress

and prosperity, others say that competition is bad; that it sets one

person

against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between

people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self –

worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other

skills.

For them, playing well and winning are often life – and – death

affairs.

In their single – minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of

many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in

the desire to succeed, others

take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame

competition.

Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive

pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I

often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to se ek failure by

not

trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an

excuse:

“I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What

is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had

really

tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of

their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true

competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken

belief that ones self – respect relies on how well one performs in

comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as
