View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as<br /> a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options<br /> can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move<br /> from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually<br /> every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a<br /> few of the factors to consider.<br /> Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You<br /> may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think<br /> about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself<br /> <br /> questions, such as “Would you like to travel ? Do you want to work with children ? Are<br /> you more suited to solitary or cooperative work ?” There are no right or wrong answers ;<br /> only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require,<br /> which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in<br /> order of importance to you.<br /> The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at<br /> a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real<br /> estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical<br /> location may be a concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in certain<br /> regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand,<br /> many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all<br /> regions of the country.If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its<br /> starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries;<br /> however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training,<br /> promotions and commission.<br /> Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries<br /> evoke positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears<br /> glamorous, while that of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they<br /> appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight<br /> attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as<br /> highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you get mature, you will<br /> likely to develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities.<br /> The choice you make today need not be your final one.<br /> Question 36. The author states that “There are no right or wrong answers” in order to<br /> _______.<br /> A. emphasize that each person’s answers will be different.<br /> B. show that answering the questions is a long and difficult process.<br /> C. indicate that the answers are not really important.<br /> D. indicate that each person’s answers may change over time.<br /> Question 37.

Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found<br /> in every known culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment<br /> in such a way that it attracts attention, as. For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph<br /> circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less<br /> adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves.<br /> A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are<br /> more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate<br /> relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a<br /> theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as<br /> waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages.<br /> Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a<br /> major disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender<br /> being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication intended to<br /> be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech. Radio, television,<br /> and the telephone are only a few.<br /> Question 43: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?<br /> A. Gestures<br /> B. Signs and signals<br /> C.
