Question

20．Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time？When you select your career，there's whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position．If you ignore your personality，it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay．There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job．Here are a few of those main areas：
1）Do you prefer working alone or with other people？
There are isolating（使孤立） jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy．Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer．There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two，which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation．
2）How do you handle change？
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them，but some are more than others．If you need stability in your life，you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often．Other people would be bored of the same daily routine．
3）Do you enjoy working with computers？
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic．There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer，while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day．Again，these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well．
4）What type of work environment do you enjoy？
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly．
5）How do you like to get paid？
Some people are motivated by the pay they get，while others feel too stressed to be like that．The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this．
Anyway，these are a great starting point for you．I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love．It may take you a little longer，but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better．

Answer 1

分析 本文論述了人的個(gè)性與找工作之間的關(guān)系．從以下五個(gè)方面進(jìn)行論述：（1）你喜歡一個(gè)人工作還是和其他人合作？（2）你怎樣處理變化？（3）你喜歡用電腦工作嗎？（4）你喜歡什么類(lèi)型的工作環(huán)境？（5）你認(rèn)為得到薪資會(huì)怎樣？

解答 49：B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．從第一段可知，如果忽視個(gè)性，將會(huì)長(zhǎng)期傷害你，故選B．
50：D 細(xì)節(jié)判斷題． 根據(jù)第三段第一句話(huà)可知，孤立的工作會(huì)使得外向的人發(fā)瘋，故A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy（不自在的），可知，B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，根據(jù)Most people are not extremes in either direction可知C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer．可知D項(xiàng)正確．
51：C 細(xì)節(jié)推理題． 根據(jù)文章所講的五點(diǎn)：：（1）你喜歡一個(gè)人工作還是和其他人合作？（2）你怎樣處理變化？（3）你喜歡用電腦工作嗎？（4）你喜歡什么類(lèi)型的工作環(huán)境？（5）你認(rèn)為得到薪資會(huì)怎樣？可知缺少的是第一點(diǎn)，是喜歡孤立的工作還是與人合作，故選C．
52：D 標(biāo)題歸納題． 從第一段可知，本文講述的是個(gè)性與工作的關(guān)系．故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做科教類(lèi)閱讀時(shí)，要通讀全文，弄明白短文講的是什么，理解文中的具體信息和概念，結(jié)合上下文句子，理解文意．然后，抓住原文重點(diǎn)詞，結(jié)合語(yǔ)法和詞義，進(jìn)行歸納，演繹，推理．注意首段和各段第一句話(huà)，將其含義連接成一個(gè)整體；不要一看首段就忙于選擇答案．
