Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.

Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as "Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?" There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.

The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation - building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent - that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country.

If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.

Don't rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.

19. The author states that "There are no right or wrong answers" in order to _____

A. emphasize that each person's answers will be different.

B. show that answering the questions is a long and difficult process.

C. indicate that the answers are not really important.

A. plumbing     B. law     C. retail sales     D. advertising

22. The word "evoke" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A. agree on    B. bring to mind     C. be related to      D. differ from

C. If you want an easy and glamorous lifestyle, you should consider becoming flight attendant

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Traditional media such as printed newspapers and magazines has gradually declined in popularity, and digital media is attracting more and more users, and taking on a dominant role. Today, most people continue reading on a regular basis; however, their reading habits have changed. Many people are reading their favourite newspapers and magazines on their electronic devices such as computers, laptops, and smartphones. This has both benefits and drawbacks.

Printed and digital media can both have the same content, but digital media is usually faster and easier to access. In fact, the number of people buying a daily newspaper or magazine at stores has decreased dramatically. With the help of the Internet, readers can now access information that is updated instantly and receive the latest news from every corner of the world. In addition, electronic media doesn't use paper and is considered more environmentally friendly. Reading news online is generally free of charge, and can be done anytime and anywhere. Many news websites provide video reports or multimedia stories, so people can choose to hear, watch, or read news according to their preferences.

However, readers may face some problems as they read newspapers online. For example, an Internet user may be forced to watch or read all kinds of advertisements before getting to the piece of news he or she is interested in. Online adverts can be very distracting and annoying, and can make readers lose interest in what they are reading. In addition, many online publications focus much more on attracting viewers and followers rather than providing detailed or accurate information.

Nevertheless, digital media is an incredible source of news, information and knowledge, and its benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
