For many students, the most important{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (decide) they must make at school is choosing a career .But choosing the right career {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) not easy. So how do you find one that you will enjoy?

    Before you choose a career, think about your interests and your talents, and then think about jobs {#blank#}3{#/blank#} fit them. Ask yourself: What do I enjoy doing? What do I do well?

    Next, learn about your career choices. See if the library has books {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (describe)different kinds of work. Also, try out careers by talking part-time jobs.

    Then consider {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is important to you. Perhaps you like working face to face with people. If so, a job as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} computer programmer may not be the best choice. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you like getting a monthly salary, then starting your own business probably is not for you.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (final), remember that you can always change your mind. Most people change jobs several times during {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) working life. Your first job right after college probably will not be your career thirty years from now. Allow yourself to change if you are not {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (satisfy) with your chosen career.

    From {#blank#}1{#/blank#} early age he was interested in plants. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (study) agriculture in college and as a young teacher he began experiments in crop breeding. He thought that the key to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (feed) people was to have more rice and to produce it more quickly. He thought there was only one way {#blank#}4{#/blank#} do this-by crossing different species of rice plant, and then he could produce a new plant which could give a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (high) yield than either of the original plants.

    I had just visited my best friend in hospital with my mum，{#blank#}1{#/blank#}hadn't seen my friend since she'd gone into hospital six months earlier.

    I knew where she was coming from as she was{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(grave) ill, but as I'd been visiting her every week I had stopped seeing the obvious; my friend{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lose) most of her body weight and her hair was falling out, it wasn't looking good.

    After the visit I took my mum to the station{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(see) her off on her train; the mood was understandably bleak but I stayed positive as well you do, don't you? I went to get{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (we) some coffee and my mum some food for the journey. I misread the amount of my purchase and didn't have enough money.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}some reason, this was the straw that broke the camel's back; I burst into uncontrollable{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(tear) as a massive queue was gathering behind me. A woman came up to me and offered to pay, putting an arm round my shoulder, no questions{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(ask).

    I could barely say thank you through the confusion and the flood of emotion that was pumping through me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} running off in embarrassment. After composing myself I ran round the station {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(try)to find this kind lady to thank her properly but never did.

    Years of expectation this time has finally arrived, there were times when I thought we would never get here. I just graduated last week. The dream {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (plant) many years ago. I had always dreamed {#blank#}2{#/blank#} going back to school, but it was too {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (frighten) and too hard.

    Three years ago, I lost a dear friend of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (I) in a car accident. All those  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (think) of “someday” seemed to take on different meanings. Well, I decided  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (take) a course, and then I took two. Finally, I took 4 classes, and at the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (two) week of school, my family were in a terrible car accident. The three of us were barely passing after that time period. I had a broken arm and could not write. As my password, I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (call) myself mountain climber. The journey was difficult and every hill seemed higher to climb. I suppose the thing {#blank#}9{#/blank#} pulled me through was when I couldn't do it for myself, I could do it to honor my friend!

    Last week, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} highlight（最精彩的部分）of my life was walking across that platform getting my degree six months before I turn fifty!

    Did you know that what you think you like and don't like is often the result of false beliefs? As humans, we tend to be {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (easy) influenced when it comes to liking or disliking something, and we're happy to have our existing beliefs confirmed. But once these beliefs became fixed, we often lose our ability to be {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (object) and we don't like to have our ideas challenged.  Generally speaking, human beings are not good at taking a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (balance) view of things. For instance, we unconsciously start to listen for and select information that {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (match) our beliefs and turn a blind eye to information that doesn't, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (reject) it out of hand. We don't always like to accept new information that doesn't match up with what we already believe.

    As a result, we often don't even consider the reasons behind {#blank#}6{#/blank#} opposing point of view. Instead, we look for evidence that confirms {#blank#}7{#/blank#} we had already thought, and which conforms to our own point of view. We're more likely {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (give) meaning to information that matches the beliefs we already have. In other words, we are biased (偏见) towards certain information. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} can come as a shock when information we {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (trust) is actually exposed to be untrue.

    The College Entrance Exam, also known as Gaokao, is one of the most influential tests scheduled {#blank#}1{#/blank#} June 6^th to 8^th. For this, Chinese students are separated into Science and Liberal Art at high school, a practice that allows them to stay {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(compete) in the College Entrance Examination by choosing preferred subjects. However, thing began to change when the policy of College Entrance Exam Reform {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(publish).

    And now, an ongoing reform of China's college entrance exam and enrolling system, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} which students used to be selected for their performance on a single test, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(extend) to cover more provinces in China since 2018, according to the Ministry of Education.

    In 2018, the reform was expanded to eight provincial-level {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(region), namely Hebei, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Chongqing, where Year-1 high school students {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(start) from fall 2018 needed to prepare for the change.

    It brought the total number of regions implementing the reform {#blank#}8{#/blank#} 14, according to the ministry.

    With the reform, the new selection and enrollment rules may differ slightly from region to region. In northern China's Hebei Province, students will only have to sit the annual national college entrance test for three subjects, Chinese language, math and foreign language {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (include). Their performances during high school academic tests will also serve as measurable indicators. Their results in the comprehensive quality evaluation throughout the high school will be used as {#blank#}10{#/blank#} reference.
