3、questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.If I Were 21If I were 21 and wanted to study medicine, I dont think Id go straight to school. Id get a job as an aid in a hospital first carrying out bedpans, if necessary and look and listen. After a year or two of tha
4、t, I might know what kind of medicine I wanted to study. Maybe Id find that I preferred to become an expert in childhood diseases rather than a surgeon. I might even end up as a chemist or a maker of medical equipment. Id see where the job led me. I happen to have monkeylike tendency to want to feel
5、, smell and taste things that arouse my curiosity, then to take them apart. Not everybody is like that, but a scientific researcher should be. But if I were 21 and not scientifically inclined, I wouldnt disdain a job selling plastic dishes, for instance, from door to door. Id learn so much about peo
6、ple much more than in a laboratory. Id make money and have fun. And I might learn some new things about what people want to buy -new ideas that would help the researcher, the designer or the manufacturer. It isnt the job you take that matters -its what you do with it. I heard the other day of a youn
7、g army officer who felt bitter when he left the army because his former employer had offered to give him his old job back -sealing envelopes. In the army, the young man, had been flying a bomber. Yet sealing envelopes is not a bad job. Some bright young man might derive an invention from it. Are env
8、elopes made the way they should be, or does an envelope look the way it does because were used to the way it looks? I dont know. What about the glue, our methods of stamping and addressing? What Im getting at is that some people are too snobbish in their thinking about work to see the possibilities
9、every job offers if its done right. One way to find out what you want to do in life is to try all kinds of jobs. If you dont like working in a filling station, try a factory, an office, a shop, a farm. Not only will you find out what you want to do, but you will also pick up an amazing amount of use
10、ful information as you go along. I know a young man whos unsure whether to be a boat-builder or an accountant. I suggested, when he asked my advice, that he sit down at a typewriter and write two essays -one on the advantages of being a boat-builder, the other on the advantage of being an accountant
11、. Then he should write two more on the disadvantages of each job and study what hes written. You never know whats in your mind until you get busy and let it out. A lot of people seem to think that we can learn only in our teens. Kids get this impression from their elders and, on emerging from the un
12、iversity or armed services at the age of 22, imagine themselves “too old“ to take up such a noble science as, for example, medicine. I was in my early 70s when I started my study of medicine not for a degree, but to enable me better to experiment with a medicine were invented in our laboratories. Tw
13、o years ago I took up hydrogen-electric welding, and I became a pretty good welder. I was trying to find a means of eliminating the sputter. I relate this in no spirit of boastfulness. I just want youngsters to know that they are never “too old“ to learn. Humans are producing more and more new thing
14、s. The more we produce, the more people will work, and the more people will buy. Employment will snowball. There are more opportunities today than there have ever been, and theyre increasing all the time. I think theyre infinite. And the older I get the more I realize that the highest good is the go
15、od of the people. If I were considering a new occupation, I should weigh three things: how well it served the public; how much fun there was in it; and, of course, whether its financial reward would meet my needs.

29、onding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Needing and Wanting Are Different “Mom, can I have some money?” Those are the words my mother used to hear all the time. In return, I heard, “Why dont you get a job?
30、 Not to make me happy, but so that you have your own money and gain a bit more responsibility.” So last year I got a job with Montgomery Wards photo studio, working about 25 hours a week. For $ 5 an hour, I was a telephone salesman, trying to persuade people to come in for a free photograph. All thi
31、s was during football season and I was on the team as a kicker. To do football and homework and my job at the same time became really hard. I was burning out, falling asleep at school, not able to concentrate. My first class was physics and I hated it. Id just sit there with my hand on my cheek and
32、my elbow on the desk, and start dozing. One day, the teacher asked my partner what I was doing and she said, “Oh, hes sleeping.” The teacher came to the back of the class and stared at me. The whole class looked at me for about two minutes and laughed. My third-period history teacher was really conc
33、erned. She was cool. A lot of times, Id fall asleep in her class. Shed scream, “Wake up!” and slam her hand on my desk. Id open my eyes for about two minutes, pay attention and go back to sleep. She asked me if I could handle school, football and work. I said, “Yeah. Im doing OK so far. ” She said,
34、“Why? Why all this?”I told her it was for the things I need, when actually it was for the things I wanted. Needing and wanting are different. Needing something is like your only shoes have holes in them. But when a new pair of sneakers came out and I liked them, Id get them. My parents didnt feel it
35、 was right, but they said, “Its your money; you learn to deal with it.” Within two years I had bought 30 pairs. My parents would laugh. “You got your job, you got your moneybut wheres your money now?” They didnt realize how much my job was hurting my schoolwork. My priorities were all screwed up. On
36、 a typical night I did about an hour of homework. A lot of times it was hard for me to make decisions: do I want to be at work or do I want to be at practice? Do I want to worry about what Ill have today or what Ill have in the future? Sometimes I felt there was no right choice. One week in the wint
37、er I had to work extra days, so I missed a basketball game and two practices. (Im on that team, too.) When a substitution opportunity came at the next game, the coach looked at me and said, “OK, were running I-5,” a new play they had developed during the practices I had missed. I told him I didnt kn
38、ow it, so he told me to sit back down. I felt really bad, because there was my chance to play and I couldnt. I really did resent work. If I hadnt been so greedy, I could have been at practice. But I kept working, and the job did help me in some ways. When you have a lot of responsibilities, you have
39、 to learn how to balance everything. You just grow up faster. At home, your parents always say, “I pay the bills so while youre here youre under my rules.” But now with my money I say, “No, no, no. You didnt pay for that, I did. Thats mine.”Slowly, Ive come to deal with managing money a lot better.
40、At first, as soon as I had money, it was gone. Now it goes straight into my bank account. This year I decided not to work at all during football season. I have a lot more time to spend with other players after the game and feel more a part of the team. Ive only fallen asleep in class once so far. Im
41、 more confident and more involved in the classes. My marks are As and Bs, a full grade better than this time last year. Im hoping that will help me get into a better college. I dont go shopping as much. I look at all the sneakers in school and think, “I could have those” but I dont need them. Last y

48、blank and dispirited when informed that they will someday have to “go to work and make a living.” The fact is they cannot visualize what work is in corporate America. Not so long ago, when a parent said he was off to work, the child knew very well what was about to happen. His parent was going to ma
49、king something to fix something. The parent could take his offspring to his place of business and let him watch while he repaired a car or built a table. When a child asked, “What kind of work do you do, Daddy?” his father could answer in terms that a child could come to grips with. “I fix steam engines.” “I make horse collars.”Well, a few fathers still fix engines and buil
