Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice
of an __36__ should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, __37__, most people make several job choices during their working lives, __38__ because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve __39__ position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should __40__ enter into a broad flexible training program that will __41__ them for a field of work rather than for a single __42__ .
Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans __43__ benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing __44__ about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss __45__. Some drift from job to job. Others __46__ to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.
One common mistake is choosing an occupation for __47__ real or imagined prestige (声望).
Too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, __48__ both the relatively small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal __49__. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is __50__ good reason for choosing it as life’s work. __51__, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the __52__ of young people should give serious __53__ to these fields.
Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants __54__ life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take __55__ for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.

The next morning he received a phone call at work that grandfather had passed during the night. Throughout his short battle   46   cancer, he realized how much two people can love each other and he realized how much it means to be loved and give love. It is the greatest   47   on earth and it lasts beyond life because you never forget your one true love.

How often do you change your hairstyle or ask for new dresses? You may be   16   to follow trends（潮流）in Western countries, but young people in the United States don’t care as much about   17   as you do.
A recent survey among high school   18  in China, Japan, South Korea and the US found that   19   teenagers care more about their appearance than young people in the US.
This survey was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were  20   about their views on life and the world. South Koreans, at 83 per cent, cared most about their looks. They were   21   by the Chinese and Japanese, while US students showed the least interest in fashion at only 33 per cent.

Japanese students, at 52 per cent, are most dissatisfied with modern society. Chinese and Koreans follow at second and   30   most dissatisfied.
“  31   to the survey, Chinese students are happy and disciplined. They have a strong wish to make a difference.   32   Chinese students need to be more independent and learn how to relax,” said Sun.
The students have different   33   backgrounds. But home and places where friends gather are the favorite places all teens seek happiness.
Exams and worries about life after graduation cause much   34   among most of the teens  35   for the survey.

I used to think that this vast universe was a cold   54  .  It turns out that even when the temperature drops low, the people never   55   to warm each other's hearts.
