2 . If you’re considering changing careers, here are some steps to guide you through a change in your career path.

Take a personal inventory (清单). Consider your reactions to your current job and how they impact your job satisfaction.     1    , when you have time. Ask yourself tough questions like, “What is it about my job that I do or don’t like?” Answer them, then read your answers. From your own notes, you’ll begin to see a picture of what job satisfaction looks like for you.

Decide if you want to change industries.     2    , though you are discovering more about yourself and what satisfactory work means to you. For some, switching careers might mean starting over in a completely new industry, while others may seek a new occupation within the same one.

    3    . With your career shift narrowed down to a few job types you may take, you’re able to begin more extensive exploration. One way to learn more about a field of interest is to conduct informational interviews with people in that field.     4    .

Make an action plan. Creating your action plan means defining a clear goal and milestones (里程碑) to complete it. By this point, you’ve done all the research and should be able to narrow your career change to a specific occupation.     5    . Think about things like education and certification, skill development, attending networking events and seizing opportunities to practice within the specific industry or field. Write down what steps you plan to take and a timeline to completion.

A．Research potential job matches

B．Ask others in your professional network

C．It’s time to consider what it will take to get there

D．Write down notable events and how they make you feel

E．This will help you decide if the industry or field is a good fit

BEIJING－With trains rumbling down new tracks, the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia has just been unlocked, poised to transform itself into a hub connecting the fast-growing region to markets as far away as in Europe.

Thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-Laos Railway has been completed and put into operation, and the Lao people have finally realized their railway dream, said Thongloun Sisoulith, Laos’ president.

The importance of transportation cannot be overemphasized. It is the artery of a nation, and of the globalized world. As a popular Chinese saying goes, “Roads lead to riches.”

The World Bank has estimated that the China-Laos Railway could significantly reduce land transport prices by 40 to 50 percent between Vientiane and Kunming, and by 32 percent between Kunming and the Port of Laem Chabang in Thailand. As the railway connects Laos to the vast BRI network, including the China-Europe Railway Express, aggregate (总计的) income in the country could be increased by up to 21 percent over the long term.

Across the world, China’s development and cooperation with other countries have changed the life trajectory (发展轨迹) of numerous people. In Africa, China helped Kenya build the country’s first railway since its independence, which links its two largest cities－Nairobi and Mombasa－and allows people to work in satellite cities and towns and join their families within hours.

Mohammad Nauman, a young Pakistani man, made a career decision seven years ago when China and Pakistan decided to build Pakistan’s first metro system. He became a technician at the metro company. In 2020, the line was opened to traffic.

“It was very amazing for me that this whole connectivity was coming to my country,” Nauman said.

1. Why is the China-Laos railway important to the Lao people?

A．It helps realize their dream.

B．It helps reduce land transport cost.

C．It helps connect Laos and other countries.

D．It helps increase Lao yearly income.

2. Besides Laos, in which other county, China has helped build a railway?

A．Laos

B．Thailand

C．Kenya

D．Eurasia

3. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．Pakistani lives have been changed by metro systems built by China.

B．China helped Pakistanis realize the dream of being connected across the country.

C．Nauman wanted to thank China for offering him a job as a technician.

D．Nauman decided on his career with the first metro system to be built in his country.

4. 请接着上文完成至少50个单词左右的续写，首句已给出。

“What shall I do when the whole connectivity becomes a reality?” Nauman thought.
