21、There are as many kinds of careers (职业) as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work involved (涉及) and in the ways they influence a person's life. The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways. By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help yourself build the life you want. To do that, you need as much information as possible. The more you know about yourself, the better able you will be to choose a satisfying career.
What do people hope to obtain from a career? Some people desire a high income. Some hope for fame. Others seek for adventure. Still others intend to serve people and make the world a better place. Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your values. your interests, and your aptitudes that will make you competent for your future work. Most people are happiest in jobs that fit their values, interests,and skills. Each person has many values, which vary in strength. For example, money is the strongest value for some people—that is, wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts, behaviour, and emotions on the goal of earning a high income. Other values include devoting to religion, taking risks, spending time with family, and helping others.
Before making a career decision, you can ask yourself what is most important to you and examine your beliefs to better know your values. For example, is it important to you to work as a member of a team? Or would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone or being in charge is important to you, independence is probably one of your primary values.

22、“Let’s go outside and water the plants,” urged Fiona, my energetic 4-year-old granddaughter, during a recent visit from Maryland to my New Jersey home.
Fiona and I filled our watering cans. Out we went and I walked directly to the newly-planted begonias (秋海棠). “No, Granny, what about the grass and that tree?” Fiona insisted, pointing to the sycamore tree (悬铃木) that decorated a patch of earth between the sidewalk and the street, typically cared for by the town.
Through Fiona’s eyes, the begonias, the grass and the tree were all equal in nature’s esteem, all worthy of attention and care. At first, I didn’t want to deny my red begonias preferential treatment. I thought that the rain or the town would tend to the grass and the tree.
Even so, I turned and joined in Fiona’s universal watering party. Thanks to Fiona, I saw how the grass and the sycamore tree could assume their rightful place, equal to the begonias. I wondered if I sincerely accept all of nature and all people with an open mind and heart. My time with Fiona inspired me to doubt myself since I couldn’t even apply my equalitarian beliefs to a tree, grass and flowers.
I paused and reflected on unspoken prejudice, the tendency for stereotyped (模式化的) thoughts to pass automatically through our minds. Studies on unspoken prejudice show that sorting people, nature and objects into categories is a natural phenomenon. Rarely do we question it. Instead, we may assume, quite wrongly, that some people are less worthy, less valuable or, worse, hateful and dangerous.
【1】What did Fiona want the author to do when they were out?
A.Clean a patch of earth for the town.
B.Tell her more about the sycamore tree.
C.Water the begonias, the grass and the sycamore tree.
D.Help make the sidewalk and the street more attractive.
【2】How did the author feel about Fiona’s suggestion at first?
A.Supportive.
B.Curious.
C.Uncertain.
D.Uninterested.
【3】What made the author take a fresh look at the grass, the tree and the begonias?
A.They received the same attention and care.
B.They were found in Maryland by Fiona.
C.They were all close to the neighborhood.
D.They were all typically cared for by the town.
【4】What can we infer about unspoken prejudice from the last paragraph?
A.It is what fools use for reason.
B.It pushes people to think about what goes wrong.
C.It is the original form of prejudice.
D.It often leads to unfairness.
