5.B上下文的聯(lián)系。Interviewing people in the field is an excellent way to learn about the various aspects of a career.和這個(gè)領(lǐng)域的一些人面談是了解一個(gè)職業(yè)不同方面的很好的方法。故與下文這樣做也提供了一個(gè)很好的社會(huì)交流機(jī)會(huì)是相符合的，故答案應(yīng)為B。

6.F 與上文的銜接Place a check next to each skill you possess._____ 7.______ 請一項(xiàng)接一項(xiàng)的檢查你所擁有的技能。你所檢查的越多，這個(gè)領(lǐng)域就越適合你，故答案應(yīng)為F,前后相互照應(yīng)。
