  Tight-lipped elders used to say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get!

  Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things。

  You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served。

  Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services。

  This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, you could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your “wares” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner。

  When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now。

  47. What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get!?

  [A] You’ll certainly get what you want。

  [B] It’s no use dreaming。

  [C] You should be dissatisfied with what you have。

  [D] It’s essential to set a goal for yourself。

  48. [A] blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as ________。

  [A] an illustration of how to write an application for a job

  [B] an indication of how to secure a good job

  [C] a guideline for job description

  [D] a principle for job evaluation

  49. According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because ________。

  [A] that is the first step to please the employer

  [B] that is the requirement of the employer

  [C] it enables him to know when to sell his services

  [D] it forces him to become clearly aware of himself

  50. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something ________。

  [A] definite to offer

  [B] imaginary to provide

  [C] practical to supply

  [D] desirable to present

  Text 2

  Personality is to a large extent inherent—A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children。

  One place where children soak up A-characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the ‘win at all costs’ moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A-types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: “Rejoice, we conquer!”

  By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful。

  Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A-youngsters change into B’s. The world needs A types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is top management。

  If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A-type stock. B’s are important and should be encouraged。

  51. According to the passage, A-type individuals are usually ________。

  [A] impatient

  [B] considerate

  [C] aggressive

  [D] agreeable

  52. The author is strongly opposed to the practice of examinations at schools because ________。

  [A] the pressure is too great on the students

  [B] some students are bound to fail

  [C] failure rates are too high

  [D] the results of exanimations are doubtful

  53. The selection of medical professionals is currently based on ________。

  [A] candidates’ sensitivity

  [B] academic achievements

  [C] competitive spirit

  [D] surer values

  54. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ________。

  [A] the personality of a child is well established at birth

  [B] family influence dominates the shaping of one’s characteristics

  [C] the development of one’s personality is due to multiple factors

  [D] B-type characteristics can find no place in competitive society
