2 . Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”     1    .

There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time.     2    . He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place.     3    .

    4    . If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑)his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.

Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs (美差).

8 . 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。

Getting to watch surgery should be exciting for any medical student. But in my case, while two doctors were doing the operation, I was checking my phone every 20 seconds to see how much longer it would be until I could leave. I didn’t belong there; I was only pretending to be there. The truth was that, halfway through university, I knew I didn’t want to be a doctor. And I had to decide whether to keep lying to myself, or change my major.

Before university, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Pd always wanted to study English but my parents didn’t approve, saying there was no money in it. So I figured I’d just pick a career that looked well-paid, satisfying, and would make my parents proud. “Doctor” is the first choice, so I decided to study medicine. I knew all the coursework wouldn’t be easy, but I didn’t expect to find it as hard as I did. I spent many late nights and weekends studying, but still didn’t get good grades. I just couldn’t keep the material in mind. By exam time, my grades were terrible and I felt like a fool. I thought maybe a medical internship (实习医生的工作) would help raise my spirits. Absurdly, my internship was where I realized how little I wanted to be a doctor.

Every day I’d just go into work and do exactly what I was told, go where I was told to go, and watch what I was told to watch. And then I’d go home. It was fun whenever I got to play with expensive microscopes or watch crazy surgery, but the rest of the time I struggled to get through the day. The other interns, however, practically worked so hard. They were so driven. I thought, “Wow, these interns really want to be doctors. I obviously don’t. “It was a sad realization that sadder, scarier question: If I didn’t want to be a doctor, what did I want to do?

注意：续写词数应为150左右;请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

It wasn’t an easy decision.

Eventually, I changed my major to English writing and suddenly I found university enjoyable.
