18、 choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, _ (2), most persons make several job choices during their working live, partly _ (3) economic and industrial changes and partly to improve their positions. The one perfect job does not exist. Young people should therefore _ (4) into a broad flexible

19、training program that will fit them for a field of _ (5) rather than for a single job.Unfortunately many young people, knowing little about the occupational world or themselves for that matter, choose their lifework _ (6) a hit-or-miss basis. Some _ (7) from job to job. Others _ (8) to work in which

20、 they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.One common mistake is choosing an occupation for _ (9) real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school studentsor their parentschoose the professional field, _ (10) both the relatively small proportion of work vacancies in the professions and the e

21、xtremely high educational and personal _ (11). The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a “white-collar” job is _ (12) good reason for choosing it as a lifes work. _ (13), these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the majo

22、rity of young people should give serious consideration to these fields.Before making an “occupational choice”, a person should have a general idea of what he wants _ (14) life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some wan

23、t security; others are willing to take _ (15) for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.1. A. academy B. occupation C. guidance D. identification2.

26、s and services the country produces.

27、t and “_(4)” A countrys capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of _(5) have an effect on one another. Wealth depends _(6) a great extent upon a countrys natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a _ (7) clim

28、ate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources _ (8) the ability to turn them to use. _(9) and stable political conditions, and _(10) from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country e

29、qually well _ (11) by nature but less well ordered.A countrys standard of living does not only depend upon the. wealth that is produced and consumed _(12) it own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. For example, Britains wealth in foodstuffs and other agric

30、ultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on _ (13) grown at home.
