Cloze Directions: Read the following passage carefully and choose the word or phrase to fill in each blank. Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of a(n) 26 should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, 27 most persons make several job choices during their working lives，partly 28 economic and industrial changes and partly to improve their 29 . The “one perfect job” does not exist. Young people should therefore enter into a broad flexible training program that will 30 them for a field of work 31 for a single job. Unfortunately many young people, knowing 32 about the occupational world or themselves for that matter, choose their lifework 33 a hit-or-miss basis. Some 34 from job to job. Others 35 to work in which they are unhappy and 36 they are not fitted. One common mistake is choosing an occupation for 37 real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students—or their parents 4 for them— choose the professional field, 38 both the relatively small proportion of work vacancies in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal 39 . The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a “white-collar” job is 40 good reason for choosing it as a life’s work. 41 , these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the majority of young people should give serious 42 to these fields. Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants 43 life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take 44 for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its 45 . 26. A) academy B) occupation C) guidance D) identification 27. A) therefore B) so C) though D) however 28. A) in case of B) for C) because of D) to 29. A) positions B) vocations C) locations D) abilities 30. A) leave B) fit C) require D) fix 31. A) less than B) other than C) more than D) rather than 32. A) few B) little C) much D) less
