[00:12.96]Read the text fast to get a general idea.
[00:18.31]Then think of a title for the passage.
[00:20.49]快速朗读课文，得出文章大意。为短文想一个题目。
[00:22.67]Experts believe that there are about
[00:27.22]40,000 different types of job in the world.
[00:29.86]专家们相信在全球大约有40000种不同种类的工作。
[00:32.50]Choosing the right one is a difficult job in itself.

[00:37.46]"Finding a job" is not the same as "choosing a job".

[00:43.52]Many young people end up in a job to which they are not suited.
[00:46.30]许多年轻人最终干了并不适合他们的工作。
[00:49.08]"Chance" may play a more important part than "decision".
[00:51.97]“机会”比“决定”发挥了更重要的作用。
[00:54.86]So here are a few steps to help you think about jobs
[00:57.43]所以这里有一些步骤可以帮助你考虑工作问题
[01:00.00]which you might enjoy doing after school or university.
[01:02.73]也许你离开学校或大学后会喜欢做的。
[01:05.46]First,it is important to recognize what kind of person you are
[01:08.64]首先，认准你是个什么类型的人是很重要的
[01:11.81]and which special qualities make you different from everyone else.
[01:14.89]有哪些特殊的品质使你与众不同。
[01:17.98]To help you do this,read the following questions
[01:23.15]and write down the answers:
[01:24.87]帮你做这些，读下面的问题，然后写下答案：

[02:03.12]6 What would you like to be admired for?

[02:09.36]You may have noticed something while you were doing this task.
[02:11.74]当你做这个测试时，你会发现一些东西。
[02:14.11]The point is that there is a difference between an interest and a skill.
[02:16.99]这表明在兴趣和技巧之间有一点不同。
[02:19.86]If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures,that is an interest.
[02:23.18]如果你喜欢艺术和看图画，那是兴趣。
[02:26.49]But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse
[02:31.75]and not a big dog,that is a skill.
[02:34.12]但是，如果你能够画出一匹像马而不像狗的马，那是技巧。
[02:36.50]The best job is one which uses your skill
[02:39.37]最好的工作是能运用你做某事的技能，
[02:42.25]in doing something together with your interest in the subject.
[02:44.61]又是你兴趣之所在。
[02:46.97]As well as this,
[02:48.45]两者兼备，
[02:49.93]it is an advantage if you believe that a particular job
[02:55.10]is worth doing in the world.
[02:56.77]那是个优势，如果你相信一份特殊工作在世界上是有价值的话。
[02:58.44]To examine your skills and abilities still further,
[03:00.78]仍然更进一步考验你的技能和能力，
[03:03.12]ask yourself this question:in the following three areas--
[03:05.80]在下面这三个范围问你这些问题：
[03:08.47]skills with people,skills with information or skills with things--
[03:11.35]与人交往的技能。获取信息的技能或处理事务的技能，
[03:14.22]which are your best skills?
[03:15.80]哪一个是你最强的技能？
[03:17.38]Note that it is not enough to say to yourself,
[03:19.60]做下这些笔录，对你自己说是不够的，
[03:21.82]"I enjoy working with people",
[03:25.27]for that is part of everyone's human nature.
[03:27.39]“我喜欢跟别人一起工作”，为了适合于每个人的人性。
[03:29.50]It is,however,important to examine the relationship with other people
[03:32.47]然而，测验人际关系是很重要的
[03:35.43]that brings you the greatest satisfaction.
[03:37.47]那样带给你最大的满意。
[03:39.51]For example,you might be good at persuading,directing
[03:42.38]例如，你也许善于劝说，指导，
[03:45.25]interviewing,listening teaching or informing.
[03:48.13]采访，聆听，教导或传递信息。
[03:51.00]After examining your skills,the next step is research.
[03:54.12]测验你的技能后，下一步是调查。
[03:57.24]To find out as much as possible about different kinds of work,
[04:00.04]找出尽可能多种类的工作，
[04:02.83]go to the library and read books,magazines and newspapers.
[04:05.92]去图书馆看书、杂志和报纸。
[04:09.00]Ask your friends about the work they do.
[04:11.13]向你的朋友咨询一下他们的工作情况。
[04:13.26]If you are interested in banking,
[04:17.41]it is better to talk to a bank clerk of twenty-four,
[04:20.08]如果你对银行业感兴趣，你最好找一个24岁的银行职员谈谈，
[04:22.74]rather than a bank manager of sixty-four.
[04:24.92]比一个64岁的经理好多了。
[04:27.10]So do not rely on your parents' friends for information.
[04:29.62]所以不要依靠你父母的朋友。
[04:32.14]A younger person will be able to describe a normal day at work,
[04:35.08]一个年轻人可以描述一天的正常工作，
[04:38.02]and tell you about the interesting or boring things
[04:42.88]when you first start work.
[04:44.71]并且当你开始工作时，还可以告诉你有关有趣的事情或者令人厌烦的事情。
[04:46.54]Finally,trust your own ideas and your own thinking!
[04:49.32]最后，相信你自己的主意和想法！
[04:52.10]It is your own life,so find something that you enjoy doing.
