4 . There are jobs you take because you may find them fulfilling, or a stepping stone to your career. And then there are jobs you take for the money. The new book, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, is about the latter. It’s from Kate Beaton, a best-selling cartoonist. With her first graphic narrative, Ducks, Beaton examines her own life, specifically the years she spent working at the oil sands of Fort McMurray, in Alberta, Canada.

The book starts on Cape Breton Island, Beaton’s hometown. Once it was home to various industries, and then it wasn’t. So the island started sending its people out to wherever jobs were. This idea that you have to leave home to make a life for yourself is deeply rooted in the culture of Cape Breton. Her parents try to convince her to go into teaching, but she heads west, to the oil sands of Fort McMurray. It’s an oil boomtown populated mostly by men who are away from their homes and likely to fall into the traps of boomtowns-drugs, alcohol and loneliness.

The book follows Beaton as she tackles her own sense of isolation, while having to bear constant sexism. But she describes small moments of tenderness too, from people looking out for her in their own ways to those who are simply putting their heads down, just trying to get by.

In the book, a Cree elder talks about the impacts the oil companies have had on their community. “Everything’s ruined, our lives, our water, the air...as long as they get their money.” When the companies first came in, the locals weren’t given much say. And now they are economically tied up to the industries that are polluting their land, and leaving them with higher rates of cancer. But what choice did they have but to be involved, or be completely crushed?

Ducks is truly an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its equality and natural beauty while exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.

1. Which factor leads Beaton to Fort McMurray?

A．The appeal of oil sands.

B．Her thirst for freedom.

C．The influence of her culture.

D．Her parents’ encouragement.

2. How does Beaton find her life in the oil sands?

A．Depressing and unfair.

B．Helpless and aimless.

C．Miserable yet fulfilling.

D．Lonely yet still with warmth.

3. Why don’t the locals have other choices?

A．Because they can find no better place to go.

B．Because they are illegally trapped in oil sands.

C．Because their life is totally ruined by the oil mining.

D．Because they are financially dependent on the industries.

4. What type of writing is the text?

A．A novel.	B．A book review.
C．A biography.	D．A news story.

6 . 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

    1     (final), remember that you can always change your mind. Most people change jobs several times during     2     (they) working life. Your first job right after college probably will not be your career thirty years from now. Allow yourself to change if you are not     3     (satisfy) with your chosen career.

7 . 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.

8 . 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.
