7 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I grew up in southeastern Michigan. I was a fan of Detroit Tigers, a famous baseball team, as a young boy.

My childhood dream was to be like my hero, Al Kaline, and someday play for the Tigers. My Dad would take me to Tiger Stadium several times a year and my hero Al Kaline would never let me down. We never attended a game that he didn’t get at least one hit.

I was crazy about baseball. If there was a game in my high school, I was never absent. I kept practising so that I could achieve my dream of playing for the Tigers, and I was doing well at each level of play. Later, I got a chance to sign up for a strong American Legion baseball program. There I met our coach, Bob Ohm, who knew a lot of baseball and taught each of us the basics as well as more advanced baseball skills. With Bob Ohm’s help and my hard work, I had set new records in many baseball championships.

My dream to be like my hero seemed to draw near. One summer, I went up to play the final season in Marinette. There were scouts who came to find the best players. This was it! My big chance!

Well, as the game progressed I hit the ball very well getting five hits in the game. Unfortunately, I also made four mistakes. The final mistake actually drew laughter from the crowd.

注意：

After the game, I knew my dream of playing professional baseball was lost.

10 . How to Help Your Teenager Decide on a Career

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It used to be a cute question. But now that your child is a teen, they’re either sick of hearing it or frightened because they don’t have an answer. As a parent, helping your teenager choose a career is highly important.    1    

Take the pressure off

Students leaving school often experience anxiety as they struggle to decide on a life plan. Some teens worry that they’ll disappoint their parents if they don’t take a direct path to a perfect job.    2    And it’s your job to remind them of that. Career exploration for teens should be encouraged, without the pressure of upcoming expectations.

Lead by example

    3    Take some time to think about how your own work might be setting an example. Teenagers are very perceptive (有感知力的) and will observe your relationship with your own work. If they see you enjoying your work, they’ll know it’s possible to find something they enjoy too.

Help them identify their strengths

A key step in helping your teenager choose a career is aiding them to understand themselves.    4    You’ll be able to help by reminding them what circumstances they work best in and what their skills and preferences are. All this information will help guide your teen through their choices.

If your teenager doesn’t have an idea of what they want to do after high school, it’s important to keep an open dialogue and gently encourage them.    5    By encouraging them to think deep, they will hopefully start to plan their future life.

A．It may be beneficial to visit a career advisor.

B．That’s why we’ve put together this practical guide here.

C．But the weight of the world doesn’t rest on their shoulders.

D．Make it your responsibility to be a safe space for your teen.

E．You’re the first and most important role model in your teen’s life.

F．A great way to promote this is asking questions about their future.

G．As their parent, you naturally know your teen and what areas they are good at.
