第二节:阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项,使短文通顺连贯,其中有两项是多余选项。(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
Choosing a job—something you’re thinking of doing for the rest of your working life—isn’t always easy but necessary. Plans for your future job will have a great influence on your whole life. 16
Know yourself well.
It’s true that things like pay are important, but don’t let money lead you in the wrong direction. Firstly, follow your heart and your personality—if you’re not very outgoing, don’t go for a sales job, even if the pay is good. 17 If you do well in getting along with children, to be a teacher may be a fantastic choice.
18
Generally speaking, people get more satisfaction out of their jobs if they feel they are doing something valuable for others. It doesn’t have to be charity work—it could be a job that helps other people, like being a cleaner. Just imagine what our city would be like without cleaners.
Your first decision isn’t forever.
Some lucky people get it on their first try—they choose a job, find they love it and stick at it. 19 So remember you’re allowed to change your mind! There’s no need to let it worry you for years: Maybe you’ve got three or four possible things you’d like to do, so come to a decision and try one—if you don’t like it, try another one.
20 The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. Remember to be responsible for yourself when you are young.

When Americans are at home, they usually enjoy spending their free time on all $\underline{k\ 1}$ of DIY projects. Maybe this is a little $\underline{d\ 2}$ from us Chinese people. When we $\underline{C\ 3}$ are at home, we would like to enjoy ourselves by $\underline{w\ 4}$ TV or meeting our friends. But American
people like spending their time in doing some kind of work on their $\underline{o\ 5}$. They believe it is $\underline{h\ 6}$ and interesting. In their eyes, DIY will not only help them to develop their brains but also save them much time. For a very $\underline{l\ 7}$ job, they will need to think twice before carrying it out. This will do much good to their brains and $\underline{m\ 8}$ them brighter and brighter. Some Americans live far away from the service centre. When something $\underline{g\ 9}$ wrong, they will have to wait for a long time before finding the right service. In these cases, they would love to manage by $\underline{t\ 10}$. So in America, doing DIY is very popular.
