Have you ever felt the need to grab a pen and start writing your thoughts on a piece of paper? Tom had always been a lover of stories, and of words that come together to create vivid imagery (意象). He would spend hours writing down his thoughts and ideas, crafting worlds and people with his pen and paper.

But when it came to his parents, they didn’t believe how much he enjoyed writing. In fact, they discouraged him, telling him that he should focus on more practical career fields like becoming a lawyer.

The annual writing competition arrived once again, which was a time to show creative writing as well as the vivid imagination of students. Although Tom had a burning passion for writing, he had always hesitated to enter the race. He was worried that his parents would disapprove of him spending so much time writing, leading him to miss the competition in previous years. But this time, he decided to take a chance and see if he could win this race. Perhaps if his parents saw how talented he truly was, they would come to support him.

Days passed as he carefully prepared his writing, pouring his heart and soul into every word. When he finished, he read it over and felt proud of what he had written. He prepared to hand in his writing, but his parents still believed he was wasting time. He still decided to submit his entry anyway.

Weeks went by before the contest’s results were announced. Tom waited anxiously, wondering if his writing was good enough to win a prize. He checked out his mailbox every day after school.

8 . As you work to develop your career (事业), whether you are applying for a job right now or planning what you will do in the future, three things are vital: your passion (激情), your value and your goals. These are three obvious but related beliefs that you need to both know for yourself and be able to communicate to others.     1    

Passion is what drives you. Your passion is what brings a smile to your face, what lights your creative engine and what makes you approach a problem with passion. Your passion could be for a specific field, profession, industry, customer, type of problem, or some combination.     2     The success itself is enough.

    3     It consists mainly of your problem-solving abilities and all the qualities that come with them, such as your skills, knowledge and experience. When you know your value, you can state this to develop cooperation and to encourage employers to hire you.

Goals are what you want to do.     4     They may be very specific, like “I want to work in City X on consumer products in the beauty industry.” Or they could be more general, such as “I want to use my passion for science communications to advance STEM.”

Knowing your passion can help you better define (界定) your value and clarify your goals. And understanding your goals can help you go better to your passion and pronounce your value.     5    

A．But what are they exactly.

B．Thus how can we behave properly.

C．Value is what you offer to a partner.

D．Your goals may be personal or professional, a big picture or otherwise.

E．When your work performs your passion, it’s no need rewarding yourself.

F．Whatever your career is, you are to learn cooperation and communication.

G．The more you know about these three, the better you can build your career.

9 . Getting into Employment in High School

Many high school students are understandably more focused on getting into college than on finding a job after college.     1     Here are some things you can do now-while you’re still in high school-to start thinking about possible careers.

Do some homework on jobs and careers.

There are many types of jobs and careers that most people have never heard of or know little about. How do you discover them?     2     How did they get interested in their career? What education and skills are required to perform their jobs? What do they like about their careers? Don’t be shy; adults are usually happy to answer questions. You can also learn about various careers online.

    3    

Although your college major does not always determine what you’ll end up doing for a career, understanding how various majors can connect to careers is part of career planning. As you explore the majors and programs offered at various colleges, take a moment to read through the relevant department’s information on careers for students in that major.

Keep career planning in mind when visiting colleges.

Every college campus has a Career Center, staffed by professionals who are trained to assist college students with career-related concerns.     4     Make a point to ask about the services offered by each college’s Career Center when you visit colleges. Or better yet, stop in to the Center and say hello. While on campus, you will also have opportunities to talk with professors and students. Use those occasions to ask faculty about what their departments do to help prepare students for jobs after graduation, and ask current students about internships they’ve done, research opportunities, and what their majors and career plans are.

A．Begin with your current interests, talents, hobbies, and personal strengths and weaknesses.

B．Start by talking to the adults you know about their jobs.

C．They help students choose majors and careers, find internship and job opportunities, and gain important job-hunting skills.

D．Connect the dots between college majors and careers.

E．Enrichment activities, such as summer programs on college campuses, can also help you learn about various jobs and careers.

F．Yet, having at least a few ideas in mind for careers that might interest you is an important part of college planning.
