资料:Changing careers is becoming more popular. Not just because there are more career options available, but also out of necessity. As new industries arise, others die. It's up to you to figure out if your career is still going to be around in the next 5-10 years. Some studies say we could have as many as nine careers in our professional lifetime. Which begs the question: do you know what it takes to successfully change career lanes repeatedly?
Switching careers is like changing highway lanes: you must signal!
If you want to move in a new career direction, you need to signal to the professional world you intend to make a change. You need to do it with purpose and specificity. It must look well-thought out and intentional. Otherwise, people will A) not know you are looking to make the change, and B)assume you are doing it because you failed in your current career in some way.
1. Give the logic and passion behind your career change.
When signaling to your network you want to switch careers you must explain why both your head and heart are ready to change. Perhaps there are financial or geographic reasons (i.e., you need to relocate or make more money). But, you must also convey the excitement and sincere desire you have for this new career (i.e., you want to make a difference or work on a particular type of problem that needs to be solved).
2. Build a marketing campaign for your business-of-one.
Most employers prefer to hire people with previous experience. Thus, you're going to need a way to convey to them your transferable skills from your former career path will be equally valuable. The best way to do this is to create a targeted list of employers you want to work for and then strategically network with their employees. The more conversations and connections you can have within your new career path, the easier it will be to convince someone to hire you in spite of your lack of experience.
To sum it up … Once you commit to a career change, the secret to success is to make sure everyone knows about it. Otherwise, you will struggle to change career lanes efficiently and effectively.What does the last sentence (underlined) of the passage mean?A.You need to be consistent in your career.
B.Changing career lanes efficiently and effectively needs more effort.
C.It will be hard for you to change career lanes efficiently and effectively.
D.You will change career lanes easily.答案:C解析:本题考查的是句意判断。 【关键词】last sentence; mean【主题句】最后一个自然段 Otherwise, you will struggle to change career lanes efficiently and effectively. 否则,你将很难高效地改变职业生涯。【解析】题干意为“文章中最后一句话(划线)是什么意思?”选项A意为“你需要在你的职业生涯中保持一致”;选项B意为“高效地改变职业道路需要付出更多的努力”;选项C意为“你很难有效地改变职业道路”;选项D意为“你会轻易改变职业道路”。根据主题句可知,选项C符合题意。

Energy CycleDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak.For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar words as:"Get up, John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is he is at his tempera-ture-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start,which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.According to the passage,many family quarrels are resulted from awareness of different energy cycles.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned答案:B解析:虽然文章第一段提到早上起不来床会被称为懒,但是本文强调的是Kleitman博士所提出的新观点,就是这可能是由于每个人不同的能量周期决定的。因此不是所有早上起不来的人都是懒,所以这句话是错误的。根据文章第二段和第三段我们知道能量峰值在晚上的人早上精神会不好,能量峰值在早上的人则相反,因此本句是正确的。文章第二段最后一句讲到如果夫妻双方都能意识到能量周期的不同,那么“much family quarrelling ends”,即少了许多争吵,也就是说很多争吵是因为没有意识到能量周期的问题,因此本句表述是错误的。第二段三句讲“The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak",即精力最充沛的时候体温最高,但这并不意味着精力和体温是一码事,例如人生病的时候会发烧但精神会很差。本句的表述是错误的。文章第二段告诉我们“No one has discovered why this is so”,即没人知道为什么每个人的能量周期不同,因此我们也不知道是不是有遗传因素,所以选择选项C。第三段第一句告诉我们虽然可以让自己的生活适应能量周期,但是“you can't change your energy cycle",因此本句表述是错误的,应当选择选项B。文章第三段最后两句建议早上处于低潮的人们要比平时起得早,这样才能工作得更好。因此本句的陈述是正确的。

资料:As a startup founder, my daily tasks include everything from long-term strategic planning to approving team outings and company culture initiatives. Day after day, things inevitably come up that need to get handled ASAP. But I’ve also learned that if you don’t have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they’ll simply never get done. And that means you won’t make the progress that’s really going to move your business forward.
1. FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIME
Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. That’s normal. Maybe for you, it’s bright and early in the morning, before anyone else arrives in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identify that chunk of time (even if it’s only an hour!) when you feel most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. You need to protect this block of time from intrusion--it isn’t optional. That way you’re guaranteed to have a regular, designated period when you can at least get started on those bigger to-dos.
2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS
Nobody works in a vacuum. We all have to collaborate with others to some degree or another. And it’s the people we work closest with whom we tend to put first--we want to be readily available if they need our help. But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and focus if you’re going to get any meaningful work done.
One of the most effective methods I’ve found is to put physical barriers between us. I’ll work from a conference room or even from home on occasion in order to get some literal space from people needing “just one quick thing.”What is the article mainly about?A.How to manage your time well
B.How to overcome different challenges in the office
C.How to win competitions and get promotions
D.How to prevent distractions and focus on big issues答案:D解析:本题考查的是主旨大意。 【关键词】article mainly about【主题句】第1自然段 But I’ve also learned that if you don’t have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they’ll simply never get done.但是我同样明白,如果不制定策略为更大抱负和真正崇高目标腾出时间,它们永远也不会自动完成。【解析】本题的问题是“文章主要讲什么?”根据主题句可知,文章主要是谈尽管事务众多,要学会为真正的“大事”(重要事务)挤出时间。所以D选项“如何抗干扰,集中精力在重要事务上”正确。

One of the most effective methods I’ve found is to put physical barriers between us. I’ll work from a conference room or even from home on occasion in order to get some literal space from people needing “just one quick thing.”The word “wanes” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to:A.increase
B.peak
C.diminish
D.disappear答案:C解析:本题考查的是词义理解。 【关键词】“wanes” in paragraph 2 ;closest in meaning to【主题句】第2自然段Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. 面对现实:你绝不可能一整天都处于绝对高产的峰值。事实上,往往你在固定的时间内最为专心,而在其余时间里精力则会衰退。【解析】题干意为“与第2自然段的‘wanes’意思最相近的选项是哪一个?” 选项A意为“增加”;选项B意为“最高点”;选项C意为“减少”;选项D意为“消失”。根据主题句可知,前半句说的是注意力最集中的时候,那后半句应该说的是相反的意思,也就是注意力减少,故选项C正确。
