        If you'd like to choose something that stands for Chinese culture, I think Chinese knot is one of 
the best choices.
        It's said that Chinese knots were developed in Tang dynasty. Chinese people use beautiful knots 
to decorate their houses, works of art and other things. They are described as a symbol of traditional 
Chinese culture. They're usually in red and can be seen everywhere in China now, such as people's 
cars, houses and malls. They come in different forms, but they are used to express good wishes. You 
can easily buy some in many shopping malls. Moreover, you can learn to make Chinese knots by 
yourself. I think it means a lot when you send your family and friends this gift.
译文:
         你的父母总是告诉你,良好的教育是光明未来的关键。你完成学业的承诺将在高中毕业后实现。在一些大学的教室里再呆几年听起来并不太有吸引力。那么你有什么选择呢?想一想,选择一——你可以和父母住在一起,什么都不做。或者选择二——你可以给自己找份工作。当然,还有其他选择,在这个小讨论中,我们就假设它们是不相关的。
        选择二显然是更有用。你终于可以进入现实世界了。好吧,希望高中生活能帮助你了解自己喜欢什么样的工作。如果没有,那么和工作在你想要进入的领域的专家谈谈是个好主意。获取知识是件好事,因为它能帮助你找到你喜欢做的工作。
         如果你在高中毕业后开始工作,你将节省大学费用,并愉快地在你选择的工作中谋生。从另一个角度来看,进入职场有时是唯一的方法来看看你是否会习惯每周工作40小时。如果你觉得全职工作并不是你想要的,那么这可能会建议你回到大学去拿个证书。
1.work
句意:第二个就是你可以出去工作。
不定式后接动词原形,故本空填动词。
根据文章第一段第4-5行:
Or Choice Two--You could get yourself a job. (或者第二个选择,你可以给自己找份工作。)
可知第二个选择就是可以出去工作,工作的英文是work,由于to是不定式的标志性词,后面跟动词原形,所以填work。

2.tips/suggestions/advice
句意:关于开始工作的建议
空前是定冠词the,故本空填名词。
根据右栏的内容:
Speaking with other people for advice about the job(和其他人谈谈关于这份工作的建议。)可知此处是关于开始一个工作的建议,所以可以填tips/suggestions/advice。

3.interest
句意:就你感兴趣的工作向别人征求意见。
空前是代词some,且本空作动词show(展示)的宾语,故填名词。
根据文章第二段第3-4行:
then it will be a good idea to speak with an expert working in the field you would like to enter.(那么和工作在你感兴趣的领域的专家谈谈是一个好主意。)”可知是感兴趣的方面,所以用名词interest (兴趣)。

4.pay
句意:一是你不需要支付大学费用。
need to do sth 需要做某事,故本空填动词原形。
根据文章最后一段第一句If you begin a job after high school, you will save money from college cost and happily make a living in your chosen job.(如果你在高中毕业后开始工作,你就可以省下大学学费,并在你选择的工作中快乐地生活。)所以就是不用再为大学花钱了。根据介词for可知本题考查短语:pay for “为…… 付钱”。由于前面有不定式to,故填动词原形pay(为…付款)。

5.ready/able
句意:另一个原因是,进入职场有时是帮助你知道自己是否真的准备好/有能力工作的唯一方法。
be + adj. + to do sth 做某事是……的
故本空填形容词。
根据最后一段第2-5行:
From another point of view, jumping into the workforce is sometimes the only way to see for yourself if you will get used to working a 40-hour week. If you decide that full-time work is not what you are ready for, then this may advise that you should go back to a university and get a certificate.(从另一个角度来看,进入职场有时是检验你是否会习惯每周工作40小时的唯一方法。如果你认为全职工作不是你想要的,那么这可能会建议你回到大学并获得证书。)可知,进入职场有时是帮助你知道自己是否真的准备好/有能力工作的唯一方法。ready“准备好的”,able“有能力的”,故答案为ready/able。
        If you'd like to choose something that stands for(代表) Chinese culture, I think Chinese knot is one of the best choices(最好的选择之一).
        It's said that Chinese knots were developed in Tang dynasty. Chinese people use beautiful knots to decorate(装饰their houses, works of art and other things. They are described as a symbol of(一种象征) traditional Chinese culture. They're usually in red and can be seen everywhere in China now, such as people's cars, houses and malls. They come in different forms, but they are used to express good wishes(表达美好的祝愿). You can easily buy some in many shopping malls. Moreover, you can learn to make Chinese knots by yourself(自学). I think it means a lot when you send your family and friends this gift.

        如果你想选择代表中国文化的东西,我认为中国结是最好的选择之一。
        据说中国结起源于唐朝。中国人用漂亮的结来装饰他们的房子、艺术品和其他东西。中国结是中国传统文化的象征。它通常是红色的,现在中国到处都可以看到,比如在汽车、房子和商场内。它们有不同的样式,但都用来表达美好的祝愿。你在许多购物中心可以很容易买到。此外,你可以自己学习打中国结。当你给你的家人和朋友送这份礼物时,我认为这很有意义。
