9、eorge Washington Carver was born some time in the early-mid 1860s. A sickly child, Carver was unable to work in the fields, so he did gardening. He was left with many free hours to walk in the woods beginning his career with nature. He soon became known as the “Plant Doctor” and would help friends a

10、nd neighbors manage sick plants.In 1890, Carver began to study music and art at Simpson College. His artwork was on show at the 1893 Worlds Fair. Painting gave him the chance to combine his two loves art and nature. Yet it was his talents (天赋) for gardening that took him in another direction in 1891

11、. Carver became the first African-American to attend what is today Iowa State University. He proved to be a first-class student and upon graduation he became the schools first African-American teacher.In 1896, he received an invitation from Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School in Tuskegee, Alabama.

12、 Upon arriving, he found that the school was short of money so Dr. Carver had to equip his own lab. He and his students would search trash heaps (垃圾堆) for things to use. This proved that Dr. Carver was well ahead of his time. In 1916, he published a research report on peanuts, which helped many farm

13、ers turn to peanuts as a cash crop and saved the economy (经济) of the South when it was destroyed by the cotton insects attack. Carver continued his research with the peanut. He went on to find many uses for the peanut. But he didnt invent peanut butter (花生酱). Dr. Carvers research earned him much wor

14、ldwide praise. Dr. George Washington Carver died on January 5, 1943, and was buried at Tuskegee. Carver contributed his whole life savings to Tuskegee. Upon his death, Franklin D.

17、rom insects attacking.D. It helped farmers find many other uses of peanuts.C There are big cultural differences between the US and the UK, despite (尽管) having many similarities. People talk differently, and not just in the accent or the words, but the general meaning. Americans are very friendly. Th

18、ey will talk to strangers in a store, laugh with someone at a bar, and help their neighbours as necessary. Many expats (移居海外者) have reported difficulty in making really close friends like they had in the UK. The friendliness is only on the surface.Many Americans are very family-centered. Family life

19、 includes endless school musicals, after-class sports, birthday parties and the like. Many new expats report exhaustion trying to keep up with all the things to do with the kids when they come to the US.Most Americans have never been abroad. The United States is a huge country. Go and look at a map

20、of the US to get an idea. Many Americans feel they simply havent seen enough of their own country to consider travelling abroad to see another country. In addition, many people just dont get enough holiday time to make it worthwhile travelling abroad, with holiday or “vacation” time often being as l

21、ow as 7-10 days a year, and sometimes that includes sick days.Most Americans are proud of Scottish or Irish or German or Italian ancestry, even if it has been centuries since anyone in their family lived abroad. Many Americans like to remember this not because they like the old country but because t

22、hey like to show that their family came from immigrants (移民) who dreamed of a better life in America. By pointing out that fact, many feel they are meeting their ancestors wishes and dreams.Making friends can be daunting. While for some in their 20s, they can reach out to those who are also just sta

26、ising. D. Exciting.D Whenever I talk about personality in relation to choosing a career, some people complain (抱怨) like this: Those tests are so stupid. When I was in sixth grade, I took one of them and it said that I should be a farmer. While I dont think I would be a very good farmer, the results

27、are probably a lot more accurate (精确的) than Id like to admit. At the time, it seemed unreasonable I hated the outdoors and physical activities. Now, I think it might have had some points that fit my personality: I like planning (good for planning how to grow crops), working by myself (for those long

28、 days on an agricultural machine), and sometimes working on a team (for harvest time).Watch out for any personality test that claims (声称) to be able to tell you what your dream job is by the type of animal youd like to be, or from your favorite breakfast food as a child. While there are many persona

29、lity assessments (评估) that are accurate, Id like to say that they are a second step. The best choice is self-assessments.Before finding ways to know your work preferences, its important to make a clear difference between liking a topic and liking the work. I once met a third-year marine (海洋的) biolog

30、y student at a large state school in Ohio.

31、 work are the tasks you most enjoy doing and the topic is one of interest. If that career doesnt exist, my advice would be to take the job where there is a skill match.
