B

Right now you probably spend most of your time in school. Do you wonder what you are going to do after high school? Will you continue to go to school? Will you learn a trade? Perhaps it is time to think about your choices and to prepare for them. Some day work will be a big part of your life.

    What kind of job would be right for you? Think about your interests and your skills. You may like to listen to music, dance, play basketball, or work with computers. You may know how to drive a car or how to get along with people. Knowing both your interests and skills will help make a better plan for your career(职业).

    To get an idea of what work you would like to do, make a list of your interests and a list of your skills. Think about what you have done to be successful in your interests. After that, brainstorm a list of career choices that might match your interests and skills. You can later keep your lists with the projects and documents that can help you achieve the career you want. They can help you know more clearly about your achievements in school and in the world of work.

    Roberta Zhan, an art designer, finds her work satisfying because it allows her to use her interests and skills. She enjoyed imagining something in her mind's eye while she was in school. She took art, design, and computer lessons, and also learned about taking photos on her own.

    Here is what she says about the meaning of work: "If you have a job you like, work means much more than just making money. It means using your talents, making a contribution(贡献), and getting a real sense of satisfaction from doing a job."

Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others.

There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices (设备)lying around in it. Whenever I am at home, I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day, you would find that, first, I have the television on. At the same time, I usually have my laptop resting on my knee, or I will be using my mobile phone. Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone, and at work or in cafes, I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop.

I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering.

The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using your language skills to do translations, to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work, there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The United Nations, in fact, has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.

This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members. Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need.

(1)From Paragraph 2, we can know that the writer   

A. uses technology a lot

B. works in a cafe

C. is a computer engineer

D. likes modern music

(2)The underlined word" Recruited" in Paragraph 4 means "  ".

A. Ordered

B. Wanted

C.Visited

D. Warned

(3)In the writer's opinion, people should spend more time    with technology.

A. working on computer programs

B. keeping the Internet safe

C. inventing electronic products

D. helping people in need

(4)What can be the best title for the passage?  

A. Website Design

B. Internet Organizations

C. Online Volunteering

D. Online Translation

Every night in Jinan University in Guangzhou,a group of students plays diabolo (空竹) as a crowd watches on in amazement.

Chen Zhelun,25, a Malaysian﹣Chinese started the diabolo club, which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game. He is one of many students expressing their interest in the country's cultural heritage(遗产)by starting clubs.

The diabolo, which came from China, is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia.

"We played diabolo from primary school onward. I thought I could find someone to play with in China, but only a few students knew about it. So I started a club to develop it,"says Chen.

To Chen's surprise, the old game has interested a huge crowd﹣ more than 1,000 students have joined the club.

"It keeps your body strong and it's fun," says Chen.

But some prefer quieter activities. Every weekend, one classroom in Shenzhen University is always crowded, but it's unusually silent. The members of Lanting Calligraphy Club are writing Chinese characters with traditional brushes.

Fan Dongling, 21, a student in Shenzhen University, says it's a shame that young people no longer enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters.

Although her club is quiet, Fan says it keeps members healthy, mentally and physically.

"Some students think traditional things are outdated. They like celebrating Western festivals like Christmas or Valentine's Day, but they seldom pay attention to traditional ones, "says Kong Yanquan, 21,a student in Guangxi University.

As head of the traditional Chinese local operas club, Kong plans to put modern elements (元素)into traditional culture to get students to join his club.

"I think it's everyone's duty to save and develop China's traditional culture among young people," he says.

17﹣year﹣old Brennan Agranoff, a colorblind boy, started his custom sock business in middle school,with a small loan (贷款) he got from his parents. Up till now, he has sold over ¥1 million worth of socks online in the last four years.

Brennan thought of the idea for his custom sock company at just 13years old. He was attending a high-school basketball game in his hometown of Sherwood. Oregon. and noticed that many kids his age were wearing the same white Nike sport socks. The boy told himself that if these white plain socks were so popular with kids, then some cool custom designs would surely be an even greater hit.

But the boy didn't tell his parents about the business idea immediately. He spent six months researching things like printing machines and technology and drawing up a business plan. Only when he had everything planned out did he ask his parents for a loan. "They thought the idea was a little out there." Brennan recently told CNN Money, but he kept pushing, and finally received a ¥3,000 loan to start his company. Then he began to work on his own designs. The fact that he was colorblind didn't stop him and he has created over 200 designs now.

Business was slow the first year, but then Brennan started pushing his HoopSwagg products heavily on the Internet. Orders soon started coming in large numbers, and HoopSwagg became a popular brand among custom sock lovers. Right now, his designs can be found on HoopSwagg website, Amazon and eBay.

Four years after starting his business, Brennan has achieved great success while balancing (平衡)school,house chores and his social life. And he says he loved every minute of it.
