请阅读短文，完成此题。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. 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 apart-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.According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he__________.查看材料A．will be a complete failure in his future workB．will not be able to find a suitable jobC．will regret not having worked harder at schoolD．may do well in his future work

If you use your commute to catch up on work email, that time "should be counted as part of the working day," according to a new study by researchers who analyzed thousands of commuters'online habits." If travel time were to count as work time, there would be many social and economic impacts." said Juhet Jain, one of the academics from the University of the West of England who surveyed several thousand commuters on trains in and out of London."Most respondents expressed how they consider their commute as time to 'catch up' with work, before or after their traditional working day," according to a summary of the study.“This transitional time also enabled people to switch roles, for example from being a parent getting the kids ready for 3 school in the morning to a business director during the day " The study quotes a working mother named Katheryn saying. "It's really important to my sanity that I can get work done on the tram. I am a busy mum and I rely on that time, so I can get things done”Another commuter, Andrew, told the researchers.'“It's dead time in a way so what it allows me to do is finish stuff and not work in the evenings." The study notes that while work rules vary around the world, some commuters in Norway are already "able to count travel time as part of their working day”The findings on workers' use of smartphones and other devices to stay plugged in highight the importance of providing Wi-Fi to commuters, according to the academics, who presented their study at the Royal Geographical Society. To ollet the data, they focused on two train lines that boosted the amount of free Wi-Fi they offered. On the Birmingham to London line, 60 percent of commuters connected to the enhanced network. The results hint at what are likely to be increasingly complicated work-life discussions, in which employees and their bosses debate what qualifies as "work" and where the line between personal and professional time should be drawn. Discussing the results in a news release, Jain said, "It may ease commuter pressure on peak hours and allow for more comfort and flexibility around working times. However, it may also demand more survillance and accountability for productivity."In addition to potential ramifications for mass transit that the British researchers highlighted,the idea of claiming commuting time on the clock could also appeal to workers who use other means of travel.

And the discussion seems certain to widen in the near future, to inc lude a looming wave of self-driving cars that - in theory, at least -promises to free up more travel time for drivers.As for rail commuters, the researchers said their work shows it s important that trains "“ffer a good working environment including tables , power。space and good continuous connectivity for internet and phone calls"According to Juliet Jain, the work-life discussions between employees and their bosses may_____A. lead to distance workingB. ease employee pressureC. draw a clear line between work and lifeD. promote productivity
根据下列内容，回答211-215题。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 gen- eral 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 canuse in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can im-prove 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 geton with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just asimportant, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside ina part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbswhen you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It isbitter 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 apologeticabout it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?___________A.The importance of doing well at schoolB.Using school performance to help to choose a careerC.The importance of being good at all subjectsD.The indirect value of schoolwork

Your high school classmate,Li Ming,who is going to finish his study abroad,has written you an email,asking for advice about job-hunting in China.Write him an email to describe China's labor market briefly,and make two or three suggestions.You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEER.Do not use your own name at the end of the email.Use"Zhang Wei"instead.Do not write your address.
资料：It's almost considered sacrilegious today to leave work at the end of your workday or（for shamel）on a Friday and simply not check your email until you return the office during normal working hours.The constant need to check email is the trade-off the modern workforce has made for the ability to work anytime, anywhere, thanks to smartphones and tablets that keep us always connected.But three university researchers have found that it's not just doing a bit of work after hours that cause burn out. The true culprit is actually the constant worrying about off-hour email.A new study Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect. by Lehigh University's Liuba Belkin, Virginia Tech’s William Becker and Colorado State University's Samantha Conroy shows that employees are growing exhausted by the expectation that they will always be available, never knowing what kind of work requests will asked of them off hours.Typically, companies don't mean to stress employees out like that. Most companies don't have formal policies that say people must answer work emails after-hours. （expect, perhaps, in cases where an employee is on call during specific times）.But policies and culture tend to be two different things. If supervisors routinely email employee after hours and expect a fast response （often because their supervisors are doing the same to them）, then the message is clear: whenever the boss emails, the employee is expected to be available.The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn't necessarily require a response before the next work day, and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited, such as no emails via the dinner hour, on weekends, or after 10 p. m, the researchers say.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.It’s shame if you check your email all the time.B.The employees are willing to leave work at the end day of the workday.C.The employees are expected to answer emails although it's not working time.D.Work email is the essential part in worker’s daily life.
