Question

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;

???? 1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?

??? There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.

2) How do you handle change?

Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.

3) Do you enjoy working with computers？

??? I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.

4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？

??? This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.

5) How do you like to get paid?

??? Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.

??? Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.

試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了工作和性格之間的關系，并為此提出了幾點寶貴的意見，以供參考。

1.細節題。根據第一段可知，在求職時，并未說明求職的地方和求職密切相關，故選B。

2.考查推理判斷。根據文章第二段中的Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer.可知，大多數人不極端但他們有他們偏愛的傾向。可推知D正確。A錯是因為：孤立的工作使外向的人便瘋狂，而不是所有的人；B項錯因為：相互交流的工作使害羞的人感到不自在，而不是使人更害羞；C錯因為：文章沒提到極端的人易于和其他人合作。

3.考查猜測句意。根據文章第一段中的There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas; 可以推知：你在選擇職業生涯的時候，除了技術和職位以外還有幾個你個人的性格問題需要考慮。這和選項B相吻合

4.考查推理判斷。此處Outgoing隨和，外向； Motivated動機； Cooperative合作； Passionate激情。根據文章提到的5點可知，沒有合作這項內容。故選C。

5.考查文章的標題。根據文章第一段中的中心句If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas; 可知，文章講述的是：人的個性和工作之間的關系。故選D。
