Passage 1
 What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
 Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
 If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it.
If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

 Passage 2
 Back in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family round table at dinnertime and exchanged our daily experiences. It wasn't very organized, but everyone was recognized and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member.
 We listened to each other and the interest was not put-on; it was real. Our family was a unit and we supported each other, and nurtured each other, and liked each other, and--we were even willing to admit--we loved each other.
 Today, the family round table has moved to the local fast-food restaurant and talk is not easy,much less encouraged.
 Grandma, who used to live upstairs, is now the voice on long distance, and the working parent is far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager four-year-old.
 So family conversation is as extinct as my old toys and parental questions such as "What have you been doing, Bobby? " have been replaced by "I'm busy, go watch television. "
 And watch TV they do; count them by the millions.
 But it's usually not children's television that children watch. Saturday morning, the children's hour, amounts to only about 8 percent of their weekly viewing.
Where are they to be found? Watching adult television, of course, from the Match Game in the morning, to the afternoon at General Hospital, from the muggings and battles on the evening news right through the family hour and past into Starsky and Hutch. That's where you find our kids, over five million of them, at 10 p.m., not fewer than a million until after midnight! All of this is done with parental permission.
 Television, used well, can provide enriching experiences for our young people, but we must use it with some sense. When the carpet is clean, we turn off the vacuum cleaner. When the dishes are clean, the dishwasher turns itself off.
 Not so the television, which is on from the sun in the morning to the moon at night and beyond !
 Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the child whena program not intended for that child is viewed.Parents need to intervene.
Nonintervention may be a wise policy in international affairs,but the results of parental nonintervention will not be wise at all.
26. From the first two paragraphs one may infer that the writer's attitude towards "the old days" is__________.
A. preferring
B. hating
C. being tired of
D. disappointing
27. The working parent is not willing to listen to her(his) four-year-old child talking about his sandbox games because she (he) is__________.
A. boring
B. very tired
C. busy
D. angry
28. According to the writer, the responsibility for the kid's watching adult television and watching it for a long time should be undertaken by__________.
A. the television stations
B. the society
C. TV programs
D. their parents
29. If we use television with some __________ , television can provide our young people with much knowledge.
A. instruction of experts
B. judgment of our own
C. direction of engineers
D. indication of teachers
30. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Parental nonintervention will not be praised.
B. Nonintervention may be a good policy in international affairs.
C. Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the children.
D. Parents need to intervene.
