【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Nowadays it’s not easy to find a suitable job. Follow these tips, and possibly you can find a job that suits your personality.

● List your strong and weak points

Before you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 【1】 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organizing others, could be perfect.

● Ask others for their opinions

Although you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 【2】 They may come up with ideas that you haven’t considered. You should, however, make sure that they aren’t so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.

● Find out what potential jobs involve

【3】 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.

● 【4】

When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it’s possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don’t enjoy. 【5】 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, it is likely that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.

A. Take a personality test.

B. Consider what delights you.

C. Think about what makes you happy and then analyze why.

D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very easy and interesting.

E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.

F. Sometimes, it isn’t immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.

G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.

【解析】

试题分析: 现在很多人都很难找到合适的工作，本文就如何找到合适的工作提了几点建议，包括把自己的优势劣势列出来，询问别人的建议等。

【1】G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：在找工作之前先想一下你的优点和缺点；空后的意思是：例如你在控制自己的时间上有优势。所以这里选G（最重要的是要想想他们是怎么来影响你工作的能力。）与上下文一致。

【2】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：尽管你比任何人都更了解自己，但是有时候有一个不同的观点也是需要的；空后的意思是：他们可能会提出你没有考虑的想法。所以这里选E（问你的朋友和家人，他们认为哪种工作更适合你。）与上下文一致。

【3】F 考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：确保你做了大量的研究以确定你将来不得不做的事。所以这里选F（有时候，工作包含什么并不很明显，直到你开始工作时。）与上下文一致。

【4】B 考查对上下文语境的理解。本空是小标题，根据本空的内容主要是讲想象一下未来的工作，看未来你要从事的工作会不会让你开心。所以这里选B（考虑是什么使你开心。）与上下文一致。

【5】C考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：即使有可能实现目标，也会是几年的努力工作。空后的意思是：如果你能找一份使你开心的工作。所以这里选C（想一想什么使你开心，分析一下原因。）与上下文一致。
