三、 阅读理解
18. Having a job is great, I have learned. It means I can afford things such as a place to live and daily meals. And with an above-average job, I can afford a car and occasional overseas vacations.
However, I also understand how difficult it is to have a below-average job, having had many of them before. It’s frankly pretty awful. Owning a car was out of the question – I could barely afford to ride the subway.
So, I decided to go to university and get a degree.
Later, I emailed my details to every company and government institution with an online careers page. I even printed my resume and handed it out in what seemed like hundreds of office buildings.
One summer during university, my cousin and I helped out at my uncle’s business, fixing roofs, although the only thing I got out of that was back problems.
That same year, I got a job at a plumbing(管道工程) company, which I was terrible at. It was no surprise when I was asked to leave that job after only four days.
A lot of people today believe the problem of unemployment in my generation is our fault. Some accuse us of being lazy or feeling too entitled(有资格的). At the same time, some people accuse members of my generation of having a sense of “specialness” that has led us to believe we can all be astronauts, movie stars or singers if we put our minds to it. Also, a few of them think that we would all be happily employed if we would only learn trades or become software engineers, because those people make the most money.
I realize that not everyone can go into space, star in Hollywood movies or fill stadiums with fans, however. I also think not everyone can make a good electrician or design advanced computer software – I know I can’t. Everyone is good at something, but no one is good at everything. It took me hundreds of rejection emails to realize that I had to focus on finding a job where I could actually be successful.
And now, I finally have that job. All it took was several years of desperation, failure and an honest assessment(评估) of my personal value in the job market.
It’s not the best start, but it’s not bad for a start too.
46. What was the author’s life like before he went to university? A. He had always been looking forward to owning a car. B. He found it hard to make ends meet.
C. He had taken above-average and below-average jobs. D. He went on overseas vacations sometimes.
47. What happened when the author tried to find a good job? A. It didn’t take long for him to land a great job.
B. He gained a lot of skills when working at his uncle’s business. C. He got through a lot of difficulties in the process.
D. He quit the plumbing company because he disliked the job.
48. What did the author think was the main reason for his unemployment? A. His laziness and arrogance. B. His sense of “specialness”. C. His high expectation of himself.
D. His failure to recognize his own strengths. 49. What does the author think of his current job? A. It’s highly paid. B. It’s a little bit boring. C. It’s challenging for him. D. It’s satisfying for him.
50. The author wrote this article mainly to ______. A. share his reflections on finding a job B. complain about the high unemployment rate C. stress the importance of an above-average job D. encourage readers to try to get a better degree
参考答案：
46. B 47. C 48. D 49. D 50. A
