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.
The phrase "be all thumbs" in Paragraph 3 probably means______.

选项 A、be bored at doing tilings
B、be skillful in doing tilings
C、be interested in doing things
D、be awkward at doing things

答案D

解析 本题为语义猜测题,要求根据上下文猜测短语“be all thumbs”的意思。选项A.bebored at doing things与上下文没有任何关系;选项B.be skillful in doing things与本段要表达的内容无关,本段主要说明的是你的弱点;选项C.be interested in doing things与选项A正好相反,该内容在本段中也没有涉及;选项D.be awkward at doing things恰恰是你的弱点之一,与本段要表达的内容一致,因此该选项为正确答案。
