According to a new survey, people who have owned pets may be more professionally    1    (success), and this is absolutely good news for ambitious pet parents.

The survey    2    (perform) by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospital. The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with    3    variety of careers. Among the C-suite executives (高管) surveyed, 93 percent grew with a pet in their home, with 78 percent    4     (hold) that growing up with a pet helped cause their career success as an adult.

So, how exactly does pet ownership cause career success? According to Banfield’s research, executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like    5    (responsible), creativity, sympathy and organization,    6    have all been invaluable in the business world.

“At Banfield Pet Hospital, we’ve long recognized the special bond between people and their pets, as well as a positive effect pets have    7     our society,” Brian Garish said in a statement on Banfield’s website. “From the pet ownership lessons we learned as children, to the    8     (way) our four-legged friends currently help us progress, connect with others, and stay grounded, our latest research supports the idea    9    there may be a link between pets and their ability    10     (help) shape us as people.”

I started working as a volunteer for the City of Surrey this summer. I did this because I've always enjoyed     1     (help) people in any way I can. I thought if I became a volunteer for the City of Surrey, I would be able to achieve that goal. And being a volunteer for the City of Surrey     2     (real) helped me branch out in many different directions. I volunteered over 256 hours of     3     (serve) during the summer helping with day camps, teen dances and so on.

I worked hard and did my best to show everyone that this is     4     I love to do. I started by taking every course     5     (offer) through the volunteer program and then began to apply for paid positions. By the end of the summer I     6     (hire) as a dance instructor. Working for the City of Surrey has provided me with so many opportunities     7     would not have presented them-selves anywhere else. I got a well-paid job much    8     (early) than I had expected.

I was     9     (thank) that I had been given the chance     10     (work) for such an amazing city and do my part to make it the best it can be.

I really love my job because I enjoy    1    (work) with small kids. I think my work is important. However, there was a time when I     2     (think) I would never have that sort of career.

I wasn’t an excellent student and in my final term, I found I wasn’t the type to have a career. I then found     3     (me) a job. Looking after two little girls wasn’t too bad at first.    4     the problems began when I agreed to live in. I was getting     5     (extreme) tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the     6     (child).

One Sunday, I met Megan,     7     used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证). I didn’t think I would be     8     (succeed). She encouraged me to phone the local college and finally I     9     (accept) by the local college. My experience helped me a lot. Now I’ve got a full-time job at Kindergarten. I shall always be thankful       10     Megan.

It is Zhou Yang's first day at the office of China Daily. He is excited and eager to go out to cover a story     1     his own, but he can't because he isn't     2    (experience) enough. His new boss, Hu Xin, is sharing with him     3     to be a good reporter.

To be a good reporter, one needs to be curious, which enables him to ask many different questions and acquire all the information     4     he needs to know. Besides, it's important for a reporter to have a good nose for a story and assess if someone is telling the truth. And while interviewing people, a reporter has to listen to the answers carefully because he has to listen to the detailed     5    (fact) and prepare the next question,     6    (depend) on what people say.

The boss also told him a case where someone accused their journalists of getting the wrong end of the stick. Once a footballer     7    (accuse) of taking money for     8    (deliberate) not scoring goals. He admitted that someone     9    (try) to bribe him, but he denied taking the money. The journalists wrote an article suggesting he was lying. He was angry and tried to stop it, but failed. Finally, it was proved that he was     10     (guilt).

Members of the post-1990 generation looking for work apply for multiple positions and hold high expectations of the jobs. They are particular about employment and it is common for them     1     (break) appointments for job interviews.

The only child is characteristic of the most of the families since 1990. His or her living conditions       2     (improve) a lot from those of the post-1980 and post-1970 generations. They don’t experience much pressure in life so they pay closer attention to       3     (person) preferences and interests when     4     (hunt) for a job. They also does not care about the amount of money they make. Instead, the working environment, the happiness that       5     (get) from their work and respect from others are the things     6     matter most.

As the saying goes, second       7     (think) are best. The post-1990 generation does not think twice about leaving in their first year of work. If they lose interest in a job or are not clear about their future career path, they       8     (quit) easily. Members of the generation are also more self-centered. They want more time for       9     (they) and are not willing to work overtime. Their attitude to life is more casual. This generation is very sensitive and has a lot of self-respect,       10     the employers need to care about their temperaments(性情) and ways of communication.

Jon Bennett used to run a hotel,     1    he found quite stressful but now he has a very different job. The requirements of his new job are quite unusual, but Jon says he gets a lot out of it and finds it very     2    (reward). Every day Jon has to climb Helvellyn, a mountain in the Lake District,     3    (check) the weather conditions at the mountain top. Then the information which he gathers     4    (pass) to the Lake District Weather line service. Although Helvellyn is only 950 metres tall, weather conditions at the top can change rapidly and make the ascent(坡路) too challenging for even    5    most skillful climbers.

When Jon was a child, he     6    (live) in the south of England, but he often visited the Lake District and he    7    (gradual) fell in love with it. He studied catering at college and took the first opportunity to move north and find a job in the area. When he saw the advertisement    8    the job, he jumped at the opportunity, and sent his    9    (apply) immediately. He couldn’t believe     10    (he) luck when they told him he had got the job.

Even though Jon has no chance of promotion, he still loves his job.

I worked in a professional training company. My job was     1     (interview) as many people as possible and fill at least 30 questionnaires within 6 hours. The lunch was well fast, the boss said we had only 15 minutes     2     lunch. But on a Saturday morning, I was the target of a     3     (beauty) and selfless act of a guy. Not all people wanted to respond to the questionnaire and on Saturdays it was much     4     (hard) to get support from people.

I was in a square near a bus station,    5     was the busiest place in town on Saturdays. I saw him     6     (sit) on the bench, a simple guy. I     7     (speak) to him and he agreed to answer to my questionary.    8     (sudden) he took a package and offered me an apple. I was quite     9     (surprise), but he insisted so I ended up giving in and I thanked him.

He saw that I worked hard and he decided to give me a gift,    10     simple gift but that was from his heart.

I was born in London, bill I grew up in Taunton, which is a small town with not much to do，so I had to invent a lot of garner. This is probably     1    I was good at making things. As a child, I always enjoyed    2    (design) objects.

At the age of 16,1 decided to leave school to work for a design company,     3    (main) doing routine work in the office. During this time I learnt a lot     4    my manager. She was quite inspiring and taught me how    5    (solve) problems by looking at things in a different way.

In 2006, I    6    (feel) I needed a new challenge so I decided to take a film-making course. My     7    (apply) was successful and I spent a(n)     8    (enjoy) month learning film-making. It was at this time that I realized the most suitable job for    9    was designing advertisements and commercial films. I made up my mind to develop different     10    (skill) so that I would be able to work in this field in the future.

One sentence from the news in Washington has remained in my mind since a trip last summer: “When you see people run against the crowd escaping    1    the danger, they are     2    (probable) firefighters, police or journalists.”

I think this is most true for the firefighters. Whenever and wherever     3     (disaster) happen — 911 Attacks in New York 14 years ago or the explosion in Tianjin on Wednesday night — it is always the firefighters    4    take the lead to run to the very center, saving lives by    5     (risk) their own. I cried today near the explosion site, not because of the smoke from the ongoing fire     6     because of a short message a firefighter sent to a trusted friend that went viral online. It reads, “If I cannot make it, my father is     7    (you); and please remember    8    (sweep) my mother’s tomb.” I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it.

“Everyone knows it’s     9     (danger) to be a firefighter. But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years,” his father said. “He survived this time, but no one knows what    10     (happen) next time.”

10 . When choosing a career, you should consider all the aspects of a job. Some jobs may seem very dull but are very important to society,     1     others can appear very exciting but are     2     (actual) very difficult and boring. One example is the so-called ‘glamorous job’ of being a model or     3     actor. Would you like     4     (be) famous, wear diamonds, go to parties and relax on cushions in private jets or helicopters? In reality, these people have to spend long hours travelling, with all their     5       (luggage) packed in suitcases or trunks, and only a very small number of them are successfully. Many actors, actresses and models hold ordinary,     6     (glamorous) jobs, often     7     (work) as waiters and waitresses, in order to support     8     (they). Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media attention. They are also     9     huge pressure to appear young and beautiful. Most actors and models are always on a diet, and many have had painful operations to make their faces and bodies look more attractive. It does not seem that glamorous now, does it? Maybe a career as a local grocer     10     (be) a better option.
