Career Planning for High School Students
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 and 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 a 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 parents, friends, or teachers for their contacts.
If job shadowing gives you a 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 students practical job
training.
Question 39. High school is a great time for students to ________.
A. identify their skills and interests B. decide their future job or career
C. get ready for the workforce D. start their career as soon as they can
Question 40. The benefit of investigating the subjects and activities you like best is that ________.
A. you can learn about yourself and your interests B. you can do whatever you want before start work
C. you can easily choose the suitable career path D. you can put your interests into activities at school
Question 41. All of the following are the ways to identify career interests EXCEPT ________.
A. studying the subjects and activities you like best
B. have contacts with workers in the sector you are interested in
C. investigating the local economy and the types of jobs they offer
D. talking with your parents, friends, or teachers about careers
Question 42. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to________
A. career-related experiences B. careers C. high school students D. students' interests
Question 43. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. The best time to start thinking about careers. B. Career planning for high school student.
C. How to get a job in a local company. D. Part time job for high school students.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
No More Polar Bears?
We all know that the Earth is getting warmer and warmer. This problem is called “global warming”.
We also know that global warming is causing a lot of problems. Ocean levels are getting higher and
higher. Because ocean levels are getting higher, storms are getting stronger and stronger. This list of
problems goes on and on.
Animals are suffering a lot because of global warming. Polar bears are suffering more than most
animals. This is because polar bears live in the North Pole. In the North Pole, global warming is making
ice melt. Polar bears hunt from large pieces of floating ice. They jump off the ice and hunt for food. Polar
bears have to swim and find these floating pieces of ice. These days, they have to swim farther to find the
floating ice. Many of them don’t have enough energy. They get too tired, and they die in the water.
Polar bears are suffering because of other problems, too. Pollution makes their water dirty. Many
countries go to the North Pole to look for oil and gas, and they damage the environment of the bears. In
addition, when ships sail through the North Pole, they cause a lot of damage. Finally, people hunt and kill
too many polar bears. However, melting ice is definitely the biggest problem.
Right now, there are about 25,000 polar bears in the world. If global warming continues, there may
be only about 12,000 in the year 2050. By the year 2080, that number might be much smaller.
It is important to study polar bears. When we learn about polar bears, we also learn about the health
of the North Pole. If polar bears are doing well, then the environment in the North Pole is probably
healthy. If polar bears are suffering, then there are probably serious problems in the North Pole.
Right now, governments around the world are working to help polar bears. There are new laws that
protect polar bears. However, if global warming continues to get worse, polar bears may disappear
forever.
Question 44. Which of the following has the same meaning as the last sentence of the first paragraph?

B. We don't know all of the problems that global warming causes.

B. According to studies, polar bears will become extinct soon.
C. Polar bears live on food from floating ice.
