What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

第二節(jié) 讀寫任務（共1題，滿分25分）

    閱讀下面的文章后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

The word NEET refers to young people not in education, employment or training. They usually stay at home without finding a job. In China, the number of NEET youth is increasing year by year. Most of these young people are university graduates.

Miss Huang, a 25 year-old girl in Shanghai, gave up her first job in a restaurant because of her parents’ objection and her second, the salary. Now she has to stay at home, financially supported by her parents as she did before graduation from college. She said she would wait some time before she started another job as it was not easy to find a job she liked.

    Some people do this because they are afraid to grow up and take responsibility, while some do it because they simply cannot find an ideal job due to fierce job competition. Professor Yang Yiyong, vice secretary-general of the China Association for Labor Studies, says that lots of young people are quite self-centered. They differ from the old generation, caring about themselves most and thinking less about social and family responsibilities.

                              When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?

Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.

Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with his emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you., and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.

The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today’s work place is all about relationships.

Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.

The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence---knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to d evelop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.

A. provide better suggestions             B. develop his own personality

                                          MOSCOW — The Olympic flame in Vancouver had only been put out before President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia, angered over his country’s disappointing performance at the Winter Games, began calling for athletic officials’ heads.

“Those who are responsible for training for the Olympics must take responsibility,” Mr. Medvedev, who canceled his scheduled trip to the closing ceremony, said in Moscow on Monday. “They must have the courage to hand in their resignation(辭職報告). And if they do not have this determination, we will help them.”

Such language from the typically measured Mr. Medvedev strengthens the disappointment here with the nation’s athletics just four years before Russia hosts the next Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Russia is pumping billions of dollars into preparations for the 2014 Winter Games, which officials have considered as a symbol of Russia’s return to the top of the world stage.

Prime Minister Vladimir V. Putin said last week that Russia’s performance at the Olympics should be given “serious critical analysis.” “This critical analysis should be directed at improving the situation and creating the necessary conditions for the preparation and successful performance of our team in the Sochi Olympics in 2014,”   he said. Russian athletes took home just three gold medals from Vancouver, compared with eight in the last Winter Games, in Turin, Italy.

Russia came in sixth place in the overall medal count with 15, just ahead of South Korea and trailing far behind its former cold war athletic rival, the United States, which led with 37.

For Russians used to seeing their athletes top international competitions, the last two weeks have been awful. Russian figure skaters fell, bobsledders turned over and, in a final embarrassment, the country’s much proud hockey team was smacked by Canada 7-3 and did not even make the medal round.

53. The underlined word smack in the last paragraph means:

A.  guided   B. trained  C. beaten  D. controlled

54. Which sentence is true according to the passage?

Russian athletes got 8 medals in the last Winter Games.

South Korea ranked 5 in the overall medal count in this Winter Games.

The next Winter Games will be held in Russia four years later.

The Russian hockey team got the third place in this Winter Games.

55. What do we know about President Dmitri A. Medvedev ?

A. He attended the closing ceremony of the Winter Games in Vancouver.

B. He ordered a serious analysis about the Russia’s performance at the Olympics.

C. He will resign due to Russia’s performance at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

D. He had planned to go to Vancouver but didn’t make it.

56. What is the main idea of this passage ?

A. Russian figure skaters fell in this Winter Olympics

B. Russian will host the next Winter Olympics

C. Russians are angry about their athletes’ performance.

D. Russians are making preparations for the next Winter Olympics.

We ____ last night, but we went to the concert instead.

A. must have studied     B. might study       C. should have studied   D. would study
