Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider. Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you. The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, and real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country. If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission. Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one. Question 32: The author states that “There are no right or wrong answers” in order to __________. A. emphasize that each person’s answers will be different.

Glen Brook South (GBS) High School is in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is an award-winning school with a highly competent teaching staff. It has over 400 Asian Pacific American students- over 17 percent of the students in the school. Of these, the majority are Korean American. This is very unusual in a state where Korean Americans are less than 1 percent of the population. The interactions of the Korean Americans students at GBS were the subject of an article in Asian Week magazine. Different Korean American students react differently to being in a high school where most students are white. Professor Pyong Gap Min, an expert on Korean life in America, believes that Korean Americans in this 4
  5. situation can sometimes feel inhibited or ashamed of their Korean identity. Asian Week interviewed a number of GBS students, and each had a different attitude. Eighteen-year-old Alice said that she used to spend time only with Korean American friends. Although she felt secure with those friends, she found herself motivated to form closer relationships with non-Koreans, too. She said that she felt she was missing out on new experiences and challenges. Seventeen- year- old John moved in the opposite direction. In Junior high school, most of John’s friends were white. After coming to GBS, his sense of his Korean American identiy was restored, and he decided to have mainly Korean American friends. He feels that he and his Korean American friends understand each other better. For example, they understand about severe parental pressure to succeed at school; John felt his white friends couldn’t really understand. Sixteen-year-old Paul has some Korean American friends, but he says he spends most of his time with his white friends. He is often the only Asian American in the group, but he doesn’t mind. What Paul likes about the white culture is that he can be more radical- he can be as loud and funny as he wants to be. He says he doesn’t see as much of that among the Asian students. Without betittling the importance of what these students had to say, it’s important to remember that their opinions at this phase of their lives are bound to change as they grow into adulthood. But these honest opinions can help us better understand issues of cultural relations, and their honesty might help Americans from different cultural groups to get along better in the future. Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. How Korea American students interact among themselves and with others. B. Why Illinois is a very special state. C. How an Illinois high school welcomes Korean American students. D. Different opinions of the friends of Korean American students. Question 44: According to the first paragraph, what makes GBS an unusual high school? A. It is in the state of Illinois, which is very far from Korea. B. All its Korean American students prefer to have white friends. C. It is in the suburb where the Korean American population is low. D. It has a high percentage of Korean American students compared to the percentage in the state. Question 45: According to paragraph 2, who can sometimes feel inhibited or ashamed? A. students who react differently to being Korean American. B. Korean American students when they are interviewed. C. Korean American students in a mostly white school. D. GBS students who have different attitudes Question 46: Which statement best summarizes Alice’s attitude? A. She feels that her white friends don’t really understand her. B. She likes her Korean American friends but wants to have non-Korean friends, too. C. She feels she is missing out on experiences with her Korean American friends. D. She doesn’t feel secure in her relationships with non-Koreans Question 47: Who interviewed the three Korean American students? A. Asian Week B.
