Choosing an Occupation Every one faces the problem of choosing an occupation after graduation 21 from college or university, which plays a vital 22 role in his life. An appropriate occupation makes 23 a man work with zest and vigor, as well as contribute to his country. To make a wise choice, two important things should be taken into consideration 24 . One is the interest, the other, the demands 25 of people and society. Only if the two aspects 26 are connected, can a man show his talent and ability to the best advantage 27 . If the two conflicts, the former should be under the latter, for the people's interests are more important than the individual's. In regard to my choice in the future, I am fond 28 of learning foreign languages; what is more, with the implementation of the Open-Door Policy, exchange 29 between home and abroad in economy and culture has been growing significantly, thus I'm determined to be a qualified interpreter.

• Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Character develops over time. Many think that much of a person's character is formed early in life. However, we do not know exactly how much or how early character develops. But, it is safe to claim that character does not change quickly. A person's observable behavior is an indication of her character. This behavior can be strong or weak, good or bad. A person with strong character shows drive, energy, determination, self-discipline, willpower, and nerve. She sees what she wants and goes after it. She attracts followers. On the other hand, a person with weak character shows none of these traits. She does not know what she wants. Her traits are disorganized, she vacillates and is inconsistent. She will attract no followers. A strong person can be good or bad. A gang leader is an example of a strong person with a bad character, while an outstanding community leader is one with both strong and good characteristics. An organization needs leaders with both strong and good characteristics, people who will guide them to the future and show that they can be trusted. To be an effective leader, your followers must have trust in you and they need to be sold on your vision. Korn-Ferry International, an executive search company, performed a survey on what organizations want from their leaders. The respondents said they wanted people who were both ethical and who convey a strong vision of the future. In any organization, a leader's actions set the pace. This behavior wins trust, loyalty, and ensures the organization's continued vitality. One of the ways to build trust is to display a good sense of character composed of beliefs, values, skills, and traits: Beliefs are what we hold dear to us and are rooted deeply within us. They could be the beliefs about life, death, religion, what is good, what is bad, what is human nature, etc. Values are attitudes about the worth of people, concepts, or things. They influence a person's behavior to weigh the importance of alternatives. Skills are the knowledge and abilities that a person gains throughout life. Some skills come almost naturally, while others come only by complete devotion to study and practice. Traits are distinguishing qualities or characteristics of a person, while character is the sum total of these traits. There are hundreds of personality traits. The more of these you display as a leader, the more your followers will believe and trust in you.
