PART III


READING COMPREHENSION

(30%)
Directions:
In
this
section
there
are
four
passages
followed
by
twenty
questions
or
unfinished
statements,
each
with
four
suggested
answer
marked
A,
B,
C
and
D.
Mark
your
answers
on
your
ANSWER SHEET.
Passage 1


Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? Here are two primary reasons. First, some people are
convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering
their true talents.


If
this
is
the
case
with
you,
recall
your
last
long
vacation.
Was
it
two
weeks
of
complete
enjoyment?
More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of
“
Boy, I can
’
t wait to get
back to work.
”
If you didn
’
t feel such vacation blues, then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use
it to work on a novel, enroll in classes or just sit around watching TV
. At the end of three months, in all
likelihood, your self-esteem would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play are not good, all play
and no work is disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of
order in our lives.


The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped.
Once
you
’
re
been
at
a
company
for
five
years
and
have
a
spouse,
a
mortgage and
a
child,
things aren
’
t
turning out as you
’
d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle of all. People resent having to
do something because they have no other choice.


If you find yourself resenting your job because you can
’
t afford to quit, it may be time to prepare what

4
one career counselor humorously calls a
“
cyanide capsule.
”
He recalls spy movies in which the secret agent
has
such
a
capsule
hidden
somewhere
on
his
body.
If
he
’
s
captured
and
tortured
unbearably,
he
has
an
option. And having air option gives him the strength to hold a little longer in the hope that the situation may
change.


Rather than cyanide, your option takes the form if an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly
glance
through
the
help
wanted
section,
and
make
some
visits
to
industry
functions
where
low-key
networking can take place. You
’
re not giving up on your current job. Rather, you are providing yourself
with
an
option.
If
things
get
unbearable
at
work,
you
could
jump
ship.
Being
in
this
position
can
do
wonders for your attitude. It allows you to enjoy your work since, in reality, you are there only because you
want to be.
At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for
your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren
’
t. They have to
learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.
51.
The
first
main
reason
for
many
people
’
s
unhappiness
in
their
jobs
rises
“
from
their
conviction
that
___________.
A.

working at a job is just wasting their time
B.

working is not the enjoyment they are after
C.

working is like killing their true talents
D.

working is the least enjoyable way of spending time
52.

The second main reason for their unhappiness is that __________.
A.

they have been working in a company for too long
B.

they are not permitted to change a job
C.

they have no other way out that keep working
D.

they have to work on to pay off their debts
53.

With an up-to-date resume ready as an option, you may feel better at your job because ______.
A.

it is up to you to choose between tow alternatives
B.

you are to do wonders in your work
C.

it seems to be the only positive attitude
D.

you have made a decision on your own
54.

It can be inferred that the author _______.
A.

quite agrees with the
“
up-to-date resume
”
attitude
B.

can hardly tolerate one
’
s complete enjoyment of life
C.

tries to sound persuasive and convincing in his options about career blues
D.

believes that one can not change his/her environment
55.

What is the author
’
s attitude towards
“
self- esteem
”
(Paragraph 2)?
A. Unconcerned

















B. Cautious.
C. Supportive.



















D. Negative.


Passage 2
In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery”
－
feeling important and worthwhile
－
and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”
－
finding life enjoyable
－
are not always identical.
Women often are told “You can’t have it all.”

Sometimes what the speaker is really saying is: “You have a
wonderful husband and children
—

what’s all this about wanting a career? ”
