 Most people need some preparation before they are ready for the workforce, and planning should
begin long before it is time to start a career.
Many high school students don't yet know what they want to do. High school is a great time to start
thinking about careers. Settling on just one occupation in high school isn't necessary, but they should
know how to explore careers and put time into investigating them and learning about their skills and
interests.
Understanding what you enjoy what you are good at is the first step in exploring careers. It is
important to think about what you like to do because work will eventually be a big part of your life.
Once you have thought about the subjects and activities you like best, the next step is to look for careers
that put those interests to use. If you love sports, for example, you might consider a career as a gym
teacher, or coach.
Another approach to identifying potential career interests is to consider local employers and the
types of jobs they have. There are many jobs in manufacturing and healthcare near the high school.
Talking directly to workers can help you get information about what they do. If you don't know workers
in occupations that interest you, ask people such as your parents, friends, or teacher for their contacts.
If job shadowing give you taste of what an occupation is like, imagine how helpful getting
experience could be. Students can begin getting career-related experiences in high school through
internships, employment, and other activities. Completing an internship is an excellent way to get
experience. Internships are temporary, supervised assignments designed to give student practical job
training.
Question 31: Which could be the best title for the passage?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as
now? What do you hope about the future?
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields, from
entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared. Instead,
people will choose a program from a 'menu' and a computer will send the program directly to the
television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a
computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will
come to us by computer.
In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems. In
many places, agriculture is changing and farmers are growing fruit and vegetables to export. This uses a
lot of water. Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious
shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.
In transport, cars running on new, clean fuels will have computers to control the speed and there
won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By
2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. On the other hand, space planes
will take people halfway around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the United States Shuttle can go
into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly
from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
In the domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already
use robots. Big companies prefer robots - they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work
24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere - in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops
and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are
electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help
blind and deaf people see and hear again. Scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have
already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and
decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have.

A. people will be able to travel around the world in two hours
B. fewer cars will be used to keep the environment green and clean
