4、en Steps to a More Fulfilling JobMany people today find themselves in unfulfilling work situations. In fact, one in four workers is dissatisfied with their current job, according to the recent “Plans for ” survey. Their career path may be financially rewarding, but it doesnt meet their emotional, so
5、cial or creative needs. Theyre stuck, unhappy, and have no idea what to do about it, except move to another job.Mary Lyn Miller, veteran career consultant and founder of the Life and Career Clinic, says that when most people are unhappy about their work, their first thought is to get a different job
6、. Instead, Miller suggests looking at the possibility of a different life. Through her book, 8 Myths of Making a Living, as well as workshops, seminars and personal coaching and consulting, she has helped thousands of dissatisfied workers reassess life and work.Like the way of Zen, which includes un
7、derstanding of oneself as one really is, Miller encourages job seekers and those dissatisfied with work or life to examine their beliefs about work and recognize that “in many cases your beliefs are what brought you to where you are today.” You may have been raised to think that women were best at n
8、urturing and caring and, therefore, should be teachers and nurses. So thats what you did. Or, perhaps you were brought up to believe that you should do what your father did, so you have taken over the family business, or become a dentist “just like dad.” If this sounds familiar, its probably time to
9、 look at the new possibilities for your future.Miller developed a 7-step process to help potential job seekers assess their current situation and beliefs, identify their real passion, and start on a journey that allows them to pursue their passion through work.Step 1: Willingness to do something dif
10、ferent.Breaking the cycle of doing what you have always done is one of the most difficult tasks for job seekers. Many find it difficult to steer away from a career path or make a change, even if it doesnt feel right. Miller urges job seekers to open their minds to other possibilities beyond what the
11、y are currently doing.Step 2: Commitment to being who you are, not who or what someone wants you to be.Look at the gifts and talents you have and make a commitment to pursue those things that you love most. If you love the social aspects of your job, but are stuck inside an office or “chained to you
12、r desk” most of the time, vow to follow your instinct and investigate alternative careers and work that allow you more time to interact with others. Dawn worked as a manager for a large retail clothing store for several years. Though she had advanced within the company, she felt frustrated and longe
13、d to be involved with nature and the outdoors. She decided to go to school nights and weekends to pursue her true passion by earning her masters degree in forestry. She now works in the biotech forestry division of a major paper company.Step 3: Self-definitionMiller suggests that once job seekers kn
14、ow who they are, they need to know how to sell themselves. “In the job market, you are a product. And just like a product, you most know the features and benefits that you have to offer a potential client, or employer.” Examine the skills and knowledge that you have identify how they can apply to yo
15、ur desired occupation. Your qualities will exhibit to employers why they should hire you over other candidates.Step 4: Attain a level of self-honoring.Self-honoring or self-love may seem like an odd step for job hunters, but being able to accept yourself, without judgment, helps eliminate insecuriti
16、es and will make you more self-assured. By accepting who you are all your emotions, hopes and dreams, your personality, and your unique way of being youll project more confidence when networking and talking with potential employers. The power of self-honoring can help to break all the falsehoods you
17、 were programmed to believe those that made you feel that you were not good enough, or strong enough, or intelligent enough to do what you truly desire.Step 5: Vision.Miller suggests that job seekers develop a vision that embraces the answer to “What do I really want to do?” one should create a soli
18、d statement in a dozen or so sentences that describe in detail how they see their life related to work. For instance, the secretary who longs to be an actress describes a life that allows her to express her love of Shakespeare on stage. A real estate agent, attracted to his current job because her l
19、oves fixing up old homes, describes buying properties that need a little tender loving care to make them more saleable.Step 6: Appropriate risk.Some philosophers believe that the way to enlightenment comes through facing obstacles and difficulties. Once people discover their passion, many are too sc
20、ared to do anything about it. Instead, they do nothing. With this step, job seekers should assess what they are willing to give up, or risk, in pursuit of their dream. For one working mom, that meant taking night classes to learn new computer-aided design skills, while still earning a salary and kee
21、ping her day job. For someone else, it may mean quitting his or her job, taking out loan and going back to school full time. Youll move one step closer to your ideal work life if you identify how much risk you are willing to take and the sacrifices you are willing to make.Step 7: Action.Some teacher
22、s of philosophy describe action in this way, “If one wants to get to the top of a mountain, just sitting at the foot thinking about it will not bring one there. It is by making the effort of climbing up the mountain, step by step, that eventually the summit is reached.” All too often, it is the lack
23、 of action that ultimately holds people back from attaining their ideals. Creating a plan and taking it one step at a time can lead to new and different job opportunities. Job-hunting tasks gain added meaning as you sense their importance in your quest for a more meaningful work life. The plan can i
24、nclude researching industries and occupations, talking to people who are in your desired area of work, taking classes, or accepting volunteer work in your targeted field.Each of these steps will lead you on a journey to a happier and more rewarding work life. After all, it is the journey, not the de
25、stination, that is most important.注意:此部分試題請在答題卡1上作答。1.According to the recent “Plans for ” survey, most people are unhappy with their current jobs.2.Mary Lyn Millers job is to advise people on their life and career.3.Mary Lyn Miller herself was once quite dissatisfied with her own work.4.Many people

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete statements in the fewest possible words. Pl
29、ease write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Google is a world-famous company, with its headquarters in Mountain View, California. It was set up in a Silicon Valley garage in 1998, and inflated (膨脹) with the Internet bubble. Even when everything aro
30、und it collapsed the company kept on inflating. Googles search engine is so widespread across the world that search became Google, and google became a verb. The world fell in love with the effective, fascinatingly fast technology.Google owes much of its success to the brilliance of S. Brin and L. Pa
31、ge, but also to a series of fortunate events. It was Page who, at Stanford in 1996, initiated the academic project that eventually became Googles search engine. Brin, who had met Page at a student orientation a year earlier, joined the project early on. They were both Ph.D. candidates when they devi
32、sed the search engine which was better than the rest and, without any marketing, spread by word of mouth from early adopters to, eventually, your grandmother.Their breakthrough, simply put, was that when their search engine crawled the Web, it did more than just look for word matches, it also tallie
33、d (記錄) and ranked a host of other critical factors like how websites link to one another. That delivered far better results than anything else. Brin and Page meant to name their creation Googol (the mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes), but someone misspelled the word so it stu
34、ck as Google. They raised money from prescient (有先見之明旳) professors and venture capitalists, and moved off campus to turn Google into business. Perhaps their biggest stroke of luck came early on when they tried to sell their technology to other search engines, but no one met their price, and they bui
35、lt it up on their own.The next breakthrough came in , when Google figured out how to make money with its invention. It had lots of users, but almost no one was paying. The solution turned out to be advertising, and its not an exaggeration to say that Google is now essentially an advertising company,
36、 given that thats the source of nearly all its revenue. Today it is a giant advertising company, worth $100 billion.注意:此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。47.Apart from a series of fortunate events, what is it that has made Google so successful?48.Googles search engine originated from _ started by L. Page.49.How did Goo
37、gles search engine spread all over the world?50.Brin and Page decided to set up their own business because no one would _.51.The revenue of the Google company is largely generated from _.Section BDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishe
38、d statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.You hear the refrain all th
39、e time: the U.S. economy looks good statistically, but it doesnt feel good. Why doesnt ever-greater wealth promote ever-greater happiness? It is a question that dates at least to the appearance in 1958 of The Affluent (富裕旳) Society by John Kenneth Galbraith, who died recently at 97.The Affluent Soci
40、ety is a modern classic because it helped define a new moment in the human condition. For most of history, “hunger, sickness, and cold” threatened nearly everyone, Galbraith wrote. “Poverty was found everywhere in that world. Obviously it is not of ours.” After World War II, the dread of another Gre
41、at Depression gave way to an economic boom. In the 1930s unemployment had averaged 18.2 percent; in the 1950s it was 4.5 percent.To Galbraith, materialism had gone mad and would breed discontent. Through advertising, companies conditioned consumers to buy things they didnt really want or need. Becau
42、se so much spending was artificial, it would be unfulfilling. Meanwhile, government spending that would make everyone better off was being cut down because people instinctivelyand wronglylabeled government only as “a necessary evil.”Its often said that only the rich are getting ahead; everyone else
43、is standing still or falling behind. Well, there are many undeserving richoverpaid chief executives, for instance. But over any meaningful period, most peoples incomes are increasing. From 1995 to , inflation-adjusted average family income rose 14.3 percent, to $43,200. people feel “squeezed” becaus
44、e their rising incomes often dont satisfy their rising wantsfor bigger homes, more health care, more education, faster Internet connections.The other great frustration is that it has not eliminated insecurity. People regard job stability as part of their standard of living. As corporate layoffs incr
45、eased, that part has eroded. More workers fear theyve become “the disposable American,” as Louis Uchitelle puts it in his book by the same name.Because so much previous suffering and social conflict stemmed from poverty, the arrival of widespread affluence suggested utopian (烏托邦式旳) possibilities. Up
46、 to a point, affluence succeeds. There is much les physical misery than before. People are better off. Unfortunately, affluence also creates new complaints and contradictions.Advanced societies need economic growth to satisfy the multiplying wants of their citizens. But the quest for growth lets loo
47、se new anxieties and economic conflicts that disturb the social order. Affluence liberates the individual, promising that everyone can choose a unique way to self-fulfillment. But the promise is so extravagant that it predestines many disappointments and sometimes inspires choices that have anti-soc
48、ial consequences, including family breakdown and obesity (肥胖癥). Statistical indicators of happiness have not risen with incomes.Should we be surprised? Not really. Weve simply reaffirmed an old truth: the pursuit of affluence does not always end with happiness.注意:此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。52.What question does
49、 John Kenneth Galbraith raise in his book The Affluent Society?A) Why statistics dont tell the truth about the economy.B) Why affluence doesnt guarantee happiness.C) How happiness can be promoted today.D) What lies behind an economic boom.53.According to Galbraith, people feel discontented because _
50、.A) public spending hasnt been cut down as expectedB) the government has proved to be a necessary evilC) they are in fear of another Great DepressionD) materialism has run wild in modern society54.Why do people feel squeezed when their average income rises considerably?A) Their material pursuits hav
51、e gone far ahead of their earnings.B) Their purchasing power has dropped markedly with inflation.C) The distribution of wealth is uneven between the r5ich and the poor.D) Health care and educational cost have somehow gone out of control.55.What does Louis Uchitelle mean by “the disposable American”
52、(Line 3, Para. 5)?A) Those who see job stability as part of their living standard.B) People full of utopian ideas resulting from affluence.C) People who have little say in American politics.D) Workers who no longer have secure jobs.56.What has affluence brought to American society?A) Renewed economi
53、c security.B) A sense of self-fulfillment.C) New conflicts and complaints.D) Misery and anti-social behavior.Passage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The use of deferential (敬重旳) language is symbolic of the Confucian ideal of the woman, which dominates conservative gender nor
54、ms in Japan. This ideal presents a woman who withdraws quietly to the background, subordinating her life and needs to those of her family and its male head. She is a dutiful daughter, wife, and mother, master of the domestic arts. The typical refined Japanese woman excels in modesty and delicacy; sh
55、e “treads softly (謹(jǐn)言慎行)in the world,” elevating feminine beauty and grace to an art form.Nowadays, it is commonly observed that young women are not conforming to the feminine linguistic (語言旳) ideal. They are using fewer of the very deferential “womens” forms, and even using the few strong forms that
56、 are know as “mens.” This, of course, attracts considerable attention and has led to an outcry in the Japanese media against the defeminization of womens language. Indeed, we didnt hear about “mens language” until people began to respond to girls appropriation of forms normally reserved for boys and
57、 men. There is considerable sentiment about the “corruption” of womens languagewhich of course is viewed as part of the loss of feminine ideals and moralityand this sentiment is crystallized by nationwide opinion polls that are regularly carried out by the media.Yoshiko Matsumoto has argued that you
58、ng women probably never used as many of the highly deferential forms as older women. This highly polite style is no doubt something that young women have been expected to “grow into”after all, it is assign not simply of femininity, but of maturity and refinement, and its use could be taken to indica
59、te a change in the nature of ones social relations as well. One might well imagine little girls using exceedingly polite forms when playing house or imitating older womenin a fashion analogous to little girls use of a high-pitched voice to do “teacher talk” or “mother talk” in role play.The fact tha
60、t young Japanese women are using less deferential language is a sure sign of changeof social change and of linguistic change. But it is most certainly not a sign of the “masculization” of girls. In some instances, it may be a sign that girls are making the same claim to authority as boys and men, bu
