问题     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 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 changes 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.
What is the passage mainly about?

选项 A、How to face one’s weakness.
B、Advice on choosing a career.
C、The significance of working hard at school.
D、The direct and indirect value of school work.

答案B

解析 本题为主旨题。根据文章第一句“What should you think about when trying to find your career?”以及通读全文可知,文章从你在学校的学业成绩、你的爱好、从业余兼职工作中获取的经验及对自己弱点的了解与文章最后一句话的“a fresh start”,即“新的开始”,之间的关系进行了阐释。所以选项B为正确答案。选项A.How to face one’s weakness.在文章的确提到,但并没有展开讨论;选项C.The significance of working hard at school.在文章中并没有阐述;选项D.The direct and indirect value of school work在文章中有提到,但是没有做出任何明确、细致的说明。
