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.

    We think that life in Chinese high school is a hard experience in which we have to survive mountains of homework and all kinds of exams. Yet would it be{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(surprise) if I tell you that high school life in the US is almost as hard {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it is in China?

    In US high school, everything must {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(record) into your studying document(文件), including your grades, tests and final examinations. Failing {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(turn) in your homework on time will directly affect your grade for a certain course. Perhaps completely different from {#blank#}5{#/blank#}we used to think of the US high school students, they pay great attention to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(they) study in order that they can get into a good university.

    Like university students, US high school students can choose the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(course) that most interest them freely. Even a ninth-grader can sit {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the same classroom as 12th-graders. But this also {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mean) he or she has to work very hard, because the teacher will not treat him or her {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(different).

    Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California，no one really knows. However，{#blank#}1{#/blank#}is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago.

    Scientists believe that these first settlers {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (cross) the Bering Strait in the Arctic to America {#blank#}3{#/blank#}means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century，after the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (arrive) of Europeans，the native people suffered greatly.

    Thousands were killed or forced into slavery. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} addition，many died from the diseases brought by Europeans. However，some survived these terrible times，and today there are more Native Americans {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(live) in California than in any other state.

    In the 18th century，California was ruled by Spain. Spanish soldiers first arrived in South America in the early 16th century，{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they fought against the native people and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(take) their land.

    Two centuries later，the Spanish had settled in most parts of South America and along the northwest coast of what we now call the United States of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} first Spanish to go to California，the majority were religious men，{#blank#}10{#/blank#} ministry was to teach the Catholic religion to the natives.

    The Day After Thanksgiving (Friday) is known as Black Friday. This used to be unofficially or officially the start of holiday shopping season. Almost all stores come out with special early bird offers {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (attract) consumers to their shop. People stand in line hours before the stores are opened, to grab the bargains of the year. In the last few years, we {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (witness) a trend towards bringing those Black Friday Sales online before Friday.

    In the last few years (starting from 2013 to be precise), Black Friday Sales have started before Friday—with some stores {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (start) their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving day or even on Wednesday and Monday. It would not be surprising to see Black Friday sale starting on Monday on the Black Friday week.

    The closest reason for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it is known as Black Friday {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (give) in Wikipedia. Many retailers report some of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they) highest profits on Black Friday. The black portion of the name, “Black Friday” relates to businesses recording their {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (lose) in red ink and gains in black. This tradition lives on in modern accounting software.

    Deals websites like Dealsofamerica.com started to highlight “Black Friday sales” from 2003 {#blank#}8{#/blank#} then the retailers picked it up. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (essential), Black Friday is an Internet term. But before it, people used to regard the sales {#blank#}10{#/blank#} “Day after Thanksgiving Sale”.
