3:How is the career aptitude test introduced in the text
Participants grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks.
The answers are analysed and divided up between six different types of work personalities.
The participant is given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality.
The code is used to generate oa list of career suggestions.
The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant’s overall work personality.
Cultural Note
The chart at the top of Page 51 is based on Holland Codes (霍兰德职业兴趣代码), also called Holland Occupational Themes.
The example test on Page 50 is adapted from an online test used by the US Department of Labour to help people find their Holland Codes, which were developed by an American psychologist, John L. Holland (1919-2008) in 1959.
How does the career aptitude test work
Cultural Note
You can take a test online or at a career guidance centre to find your individual Holland Code, which will be three letters showing your preferences for the kind of work you want to do.
Your Holland Code can then be matched to specific jobs. This, when combined with your interests, should in theory give you a good idea of what career you should choose.

The secret to a good career is find something that you are passionate about.
Part 3:Para.7
Do you agree with this statement Give your reasons.
For example, a person may be passionate about singing, but lack the talent for it or the ability to turn it into a career. It might be better to find something that he or she is good at and can be successful at, and pursue it instead, as that way he or she can at least earn an income. People can still pursue their passions as hobbies.
What does the author most likely want to convey in the last paragraph
The key to a good career is finding what you are passion about and
