本语篇类型为议论文。全文为“总—分—总”结构。第一段以一个经典的问题创设情境，引发学生思考，引出本文的论点——谋生不是我们工作的唯一原因，还有其他因素促使我们去工作；第二段到第四段是主体部分，从三个方面分析了我们为什么要工作；最后一段自然归纳出我们工作不仅是为了个人利益，还为了社会福祉。第二段到第四段均由段落主题句引领，文章框架结构清晰明了。通过阅读首、尾段，各段落首句即可快速总结文章的主旨。
(一)赏用词之妙　
1．However, earning a living is by no means the only reason why we work — there are other important reasons that motivate us to enter the world of work.
赏析：本句中的by no means及the only都起到了加强语气、强调语意的作用。
2．Through the work we do, our goals can be attained and our dreams achieved.
赏析：此处使用了attain来表示目标的达成及achieve来表示梦想的实现。写作时应避免重复使用相同的词语，尽量采用灵活多变的同义词来提升表达效果。
[提能训练]　(选用上述词汇完成下列句子)
①The problem is ________________ as simple as we first thought.
问题绝不像我们当初想象的那么简单。
②I am always thinking that studying well is ______________________________ in return.
我一直认为好好学习是我唯一能做的回报。
(二)赏句式之高　
1．Work can also help develop our skills, thus providing room for personal growth.
赏析：本句中运用现在分词thus doing来表示因果关系，相比于简单地使用because、 so等更能彰显写作功底。其他可用来灵活表达因果关系的词语还有：end up doing、 only to do等。
2．Not only does work benefit us personally, it also contributes to the health of society.
赏析：本句中使用了Not only 引起的部分倒装句。倒装句可以起到平衡句式的作用，同时也有利于上下文的衔接过渡。
3．Wherever life takes us and whatever choices are laid out before us, something worth remembering is that our work, when done well, will not only help us make a living but also help make a life for ourselves and for others.
赏析：此处Wherever及whatever引导的让步状语从句以及when引导的时间状语从句的省略句不仅使句式多样，表达丰富多彩，也充实了内容，增强了文章的连贯性。
[提能训练]　(选用上述句式完成下列句子)
①The scientists made joint efforts, ______________________________.
这些科学家勠力同心，因此取得了重大突破。
②Not only ______________________________， but it can also enriches our school life.跑步不仅能锻炼我们的身体，也能丰富我们的学校生活。
(三)赏修辞之功　
Henry David Thoreau said, “...if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
赏析：此处作者引用了梭罗的话来支持自己的观点，这种手法既使论据更充分，又能增强说服力，富有启发性。
[提能训练]　(翻译下面语段，体会引用的作用)
As the Chinese philosopher Laozi wrote, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” One step seems small, but it is essential.

如今，随着科技水平的发展，工作更换、职业更替的速度惊人。在同一个领域、同一行业工作一辈子的想法已经不现实了。但是在被职业抛弃之前，你可以为未来的发展变化做好准备。选择主动学习还是被动学习，完全取决于你自己。实际上，你才是自己职业生涯的老板，也只有你才能决定自己能做什么、能做多好。你准备好了吗？
Meet the New Boss: You
Up until the 1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents' footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them.You'd follow your father to sea, onto the farm or into the workshop.You'd follow your mother into the kitchen or sewing room.In your grandparents' time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement.How times have changed! Most people now have no intention of following in their parents' footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.
In fact, planning to work in the same field or industry for your entire working life just isn't practical anymore.One reason for this is technology.The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant and be enough to help you through your entire career.In fact, they will probably be out of date very soon.And then what will you do Work hard Win the lottery Hope for the best You might be lucky.These strategies might bring you a nice, comfortable life: working at a job you like, earning a decent salary and retiring while you're still young and healthy.But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”．
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again.You might be able to , but this is hardly a recipe for great career success.Instead, you'd better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work.You'll need to be a risk taker, an innovator, a problem solver, and a hard worker.Keep doing this, and you can become an expert or a specialist in something one day.You have a chance to choose to build a career, rather than being told to stay or to go.
Jobs and occupations come and go at an amazing pace these days.If you think you can't be replaced by software, or your job can't be outsourced to some robots on the moon, you are wrong.What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field？You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained in order to qualify to work in another field.In fact, in all likelihood, you will have to do this multiple times.But you can be prepared for developments and changes before you are thrown out of a career.It is entirely your choice to learn, or to be forced to learn.
In short, if you want to succeed in a 21st century career, you will have to develop new essential skills.Lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain or even likely. The truth is that you are the boss of your career，and it is up to you to decide what you can do and how well you

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
With graduation drawing near, I have to make some decisions about my future.Do I want to spend another four years studying at university Am I ready for the world of work The only thing that's clear to me is that my vague dreams of making films or singing in a band are becoming more and more unlikely.It's probably nothing unusual, but I've just come to the realization that, although I'm good at lots of things as an ordinary girl, I'm not brilliant at anything.
My parents, trying desperately not to influence my choice, have so far offered limited guidance.My dad, who went into construction straight from school and doesn't regret a thing, talks about being passionate about whatever you do.My mom, a teacher, holds the same view.However, on balance, she feels that qualifications gave her more options when she was ready to decide.
Most of my friends seem to be in the same position as me.One or two have decided on degrees in medicine or law.Six months ago we might have laughed at them.Saving someone's life in an operating theater or giving speeches in a court seemed so grown－up! Now I'm actually jealous of their plans.Forgetting about the hard work for the moment, their futures are more or less decided: a degree, training and then work.In ten years, they'll all have respectable careers.
But what about me Well, I've been writing this blog for a year now and some of you seem to enjoy reading my posts.Perhaps journalism is my “thing”．I've already applied to several local newspapers for some work experience and I was able to use this website as useful proof that journalism isn't just a sudden idea I've had.No replies as yet, but I'm hopeful.It's a competitive industry, I know, so I'd have to do some more studying first.I've been researching relevant courses, though the thought of borrowing thousands to pay for a full degree is depressing.However, a realistic approach to my future is good progress, I feel.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者对自己未来职业选择的迷茫，以及为此所做出的努力。

3．How does the author think about law and medicine
A．They require too much tuition.
B．They are physically demanding.
C．They have a predictable career path.
D．They are careers she can take seriously.

4．What action has the author taken towards planning for her future
A．She's got some work experience.
B．She's saved some money for a course.
C．She's applied for a course in journalism.

B
Early in my career, I was easily overwhelmed. My responsibilities, commitments and ambitions piled up into this mass that I felt immeasurably large — until, one day, when I worked in international projects contracting, my manager gave me something that is still on the bulletin board over my desk 26 years later, even as I've now transformed my career. It's a postcard picture of Earth.
He wanted me to look at Earth and think about the significance of what I was trying to accomplish, and the stress I was feeling, and to do so in the context of what others around the world faced. I started to do this during late nights in my office, when I hadn't seen my family in days, as I lived on caffeine and cheese nabs. I imagined the good happening to people around the globe. I also imagined the bad — people starving, enduring war, or losing their homes — and then weighed my situation. I would remember that my time on Earth was limited.
With this perspective and my manager's encouragement, I went back to school, then took a job with a Fortune 500 firm as a contracts manager and rose to become a director and VP. I have recently started my own consulting business to mentor small companies entering international projects contracting. I've found that many folks feel they must make a good impression or prove themselves, and that to do so, they cannot admit when they need help. But I can see it in their eyes or hear it in their voices. I tell them what my manager told me: Step away for a few minutes, prioritize your actions, and focus on what your best can be in that moment.
That is how I hope to make a difference in their lives. And who knows, maybe beyond what I see, my presence ripples (传开) out to their circles of influence, which reaches others' — creating waves again to those that make up all that blue in my picture of Earth.
语篇解读：：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在职业生涯中如何从压力中找到出路，并通过自己的经验去帮助他人。
5．What's the function of paragraph 1
A．To arouse readers' interest.
B．To show the author's strong emotion.
C．To introduce the author's current status of work.
D．To illuminate the author's ups and downs in his career.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，作者描述了自己早期职业生涯中的困扰和压力，以及他的经理给他的一张地球的明信片照片，这张照片在他的职业生涯中起到了重要的作用。第一段的目的是引发读者的兴趣，让读者想要了解这张照片如何影响作者的职业生涯。
6．Why does the author still keep the postcard picture of Earth
A．He needs its navigation when at a loss.
B．He has gained a favored job with its help.
C．He was required by his manager to value it.
D．He views it as a reminder of thinking overall.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段前三句可推知，作者保留这张照片是因为它提醒他要考虑全局。
7．What does the underlined word “mentor” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Instruct.　　　　　　 B．Absorb.
C．Invest. D．Encourage.
√
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“I have recently started my own consulting business”以及下文“entering international projects contracting”可推知，作者最近开始了自己的咨询业务，以指导进入国际工程承包领域的小公司。故画线词意为“指导”。
8．Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A．The Influence of My Manager
B．The Ripples of the Big Earth Picture
C．The Stress Coming from Responsibilities
D．The Good and the Bad Happenings in My Career
√
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，特别是最后一段可知，作者讲述了他如何通过一张地球的照片找到职业生涯的方向，并通过自己的经验去帮助他人，产生了影响力的涟漪。故B项适合作文章标题。
C
We spend a third of our adult lives working and another big part preparing for our careers.Historically, work was rarely seen as a source of meaning and purpose.During the vast majority of our 300,000－year human evolution (进化), work was in fact pretty simple.We worked to eat and avoid being eaten.Meaning and purpose came from somewhere else, like spirituality, art, or science.
The idea that we are meant to find meaning at work or to find work meaningful — is a rather modern, if not postmodern, invention.Only one hundred years ago it would have been frequent to see a worker who returned from a typical workday at a factory complain to their folks that they didn't earn much or they were worn out and rare to see that they complain they didn't experience a sense of purpose.
Similarly, the idea that we ought to bring our “whole self” to work is a pretty novel and recent form of career advice.Its origins can be traced to William Kahn who invented the concept of employee engagement 30 years ago.His point was that employees differ in the degree to which they identify with their work role.Some see work as merely a job and clock in and out every day, without bringing their whole self to work.Work is just not a core aspect of their identity, and their concept of themselves is built on other social categories like mother, husband, American, captain of the local soccer team, etc.
Others, however, have very low psychological distance with their work role, seeing it as essentially intertwined (交融的) with who they are.They don't just come to work; they are fully devoted to their careers and have a spiritual type of connection with their jobs.They are, it seems, almost possessed by work and are the type of workaholics (工作狂) most companies long for.
语篇解读：：本文是一篇议论文。成年后，我们有三分之一的时间在工作，还有很大一部分时间在为职业生涯做准备。工作是为了生存，而把“完整的自己”带到工作中去也是一种相当新颖的职业建议。
9．Why did we spend much of our adult lives working
A．To prepare for future careers.
B．To find the water sources.
C．To help us evolve.
D．To make us survive.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“We worked to eat and avoid being eaten.”可知，我们成年后大部分时间都在工作是为了生存。
10．Why did the author mention the worker a century ago
A．To help us find meaning at work.
B．To prove that the idea was modern.
C．To show us the bad old days.

How to Choose Your Purpose－Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
__13__.If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things.This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can't always make money doing things you like (like video games)．And sometimes things you like are better as hobbies.
Think about a well－paid job that you can do and doesn't sound so bad.Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer Or maybe that's out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. __14__， but often they are not something you're really passionate about.It's kind of like just doing something because it's there.
However, there's another way that is perhaps better: __15__.For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. __16__ and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that.The point isn't how you serve the world but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. __17__.
A．These are all great choices
B．Think about what you like to do
C．You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D．Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose
E．Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
F．The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living
G．If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you're always further along than most people

A
With graduation drawing near, I have to make some decisions about my future.Do I want to spend another four years studying at university Am I ready for the world of work The only thing that's clear to me is that my vague dreams of making films or singing in a band are becoming more and more unlikely.It's probably nothing unusual, but I've just come to the realization that, although I'm good at lots of things as an ordinary girl, I'm not brilliant at anything.
My parents, trying desperately not to influence my choice, have so far offered limited guidance.My dad, who went into construction straight from school and doesn't regret a thing, talks about being passionate about whatever you do.My mom, a teacher, holds the same view.However, on balance, she feels that qualifications gave her more options when she was ready to decide.
Most of my friends seem to be in the same position as me.One or two have decided on degrees in medicine or law.Six months ago we might have laughed at them.Saving someone's life in an operating theater or giving speeches in a court seemed so grown－up! Now I'm actually jealous of their plans.Forgetting about the hard work for the moment, their futures are more or less decided: a degree, training and then work.In ten years, they'll all have respectable careers.
But what about me Well, I've been writing this blog for a year now and some of you seem to enjoy reading my posts.Perhaps journalism is my “thing”．I've already applied to several local newspapers for some work experience and I was able to use this website as useful proof that journalism isn't just a sudden idea I've had.No replies as yet, but I'm hopeful.It's a competitive industry, I know, so I'd have to do some more studying first.I've been researching relevant courses, though the thought of borrowing thousands to pay for a full degree is depressing.However, a realistic approach to my future is good progress, I feel.

Early in my career, I was easily overwhelmed. My responsibilities, commitments and ambitions piled up into this mass that I felt immeasurably large — until, one day, when I worked in international projects contracting, my manager gave me something that is still on the bulletin board over my desk 26 years later, even as I've now transformed my career. It's a postcard picture of Earth.
He wanted me to look at Earth and think about the significance of what I was trying to accomplish, and the stress I was feeling, and to do so in the context of what others around the world faced. I started to do this during late nights in my office, when I hadn't seen my family in days, as I lived on caffeine and cheese nabs. I imagined the good happening to people around the globe. I also imagined the bad — people starving, enduring war, or losing their homes — and then weighed my situation. I would remember that my time on Earth was limited.
With this perspective and my manager's encouragement, I went back to school, then took a job with a Fortune 500 firm as a contracts manager and rose to become a director and VP. I have recently started my own consulting business to mentor small companies entering international projects contracting. I've found that many folks feel they must make a good impression or prove themselves, and that to do so, they cannot admit when they need help. But I can see it in their eyes or hear it in their voices. I tell them what my manager told me: Step away for a few minutes, prioritize your actions, and focus on what your best can be in that moment.
That is how I hope to make a difference in their lives. And who knows, maybe beyond what I see, my presence ripples (传开) out to their circles of influence, which reaches others' — creating waves again to those that make up all that blue in my picture of Earth.
5．What's the function of paragraph 1
A．To arouse readers' interest.
B．To show the author's strong emotion.
C．To introduce the author's current status of work.
D．To illuminate the author's ups and downs in his career.
6．Why does the author still keep the postcard picture of Earth
A．He needs its navigation when at a loss.
B．He has gained a favored job with its help.
C．He was required by his manager to value it.
D．He views it as a reminder of thinking overall.
7．What does the underlined word “mentor” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Instruct.　　　　　　 B．Absorb.
C．Invest. D．Encourage.
8．Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A．The Influence of My Manager
B．The Ripples of the Big Earth Picture
C．The Stress Coming from Responsibilities
D．The Good and the Bad Happenings in My Career
C
We spend a third of our adult lives working and another big part preparing for our careers.Historically, work was rarely seen as a source of meaning and purpose.During the vast majority of our 300,000－year human evolution (进化), work was in fact pretty simple.We worked to eat and avoid being eaten.Meaning and purpose came from somewhere else, like spirituality, art, or science.
The idea that we are meant to find meaning at work or to find work meaningful — is a rather modern, if not postmodern, invention.Only one hundred years ago it would have been frequent to see a worker who returned from a typical workday at a factory complain to their folks that they didn't earn much or they were worn out and rare to see that they complain they didn't experience a sense of purpose.
Similarly, the idea that we ought to bring our “whole self” to work is a pretty novel and recent form of career advice.Its origins can be traced to William Kahn who invented the concept of employee engagement 30 years ago.His point was that employees differ in the degree to which they identify with their work role.Some see work as merely a job and clock in and out every day, without bringing their whole self to work.Work is just not a core aspect of their identity, and their concept of themselves is built on other social categories like mother, husband, American, captain of the local soccer team, etc.
Others, however, have very low psychological distance with their work role, seeing it as essentially intertwined (交融的) with who they are.They don't just come to work; they are fully devoted to their careers and have a spiritual type of connection with their jobs.They are, it seems, almost possessed by work and are the type of workaholics (工作狂) most companies long for.
9．Why did we spend much of our adult lives working
A．To prepare for future careers.
B．To find the water sources.
C．To help us evolve.
D．To make us survive.
10．Why did the author mention the worker a century ago
A．To help us find meaning at work.
B．To prove that the idea was modern.
C．To show us the bad old days.
D．To complain about the experience.
11．Which of the following might William Kahn agree with
A．Employees have different understandings about their work role.
B．Every employee must bring their whole self to work.
C．To be devoted to work is a pretty novel idea.
D．Workers' core identity is built on art categories.
12．What kind of employees do most companies favour
A．Those who see work as a job.
B．Those who identify with their work role.
C．Those who are fully devoted to their work.
D．Those who possess experience.
