   What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others.  These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.  So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

Your school may have taught you skils, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else,you may have learned how to get to work on time,to follow rules and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop,for example. Just as important,you may become interested in a particular career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools;perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a number of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record,for instance,may not be too good,yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(道歉的)about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

   With an improved economy,many travelers have been buying first or business class seats,leaving fewer for upgrades(升级).Here are some strategies for getting a free upgrade.

1. Fly a lot.

This is the most common way to earn a free upgrade. Most airlines reserve some spaces for travelers who fly at least 5,000 miles per year. Five years ago,this meant half or more of domestic(国内的)first class travelers sat up front for free. But now,airlines are selling more high-price seats,so on popular routes it is not unusual for more than 20 travelers to compete for one or two upgrades. But on routes with fewer business class travelers,free upgrades remain more plentiful.

2. Use miles.

If you're not a frequent traveler but still have some miles to fly,you may be able to use them for an upgrade. Be careful,though,as many airlines now ask not just for miles but also a cash co-pay. One example: on flights to Europe,American Airlines charges 5,000 miles,plus $110,for a one-way upgrade from discounted economy class to business class. For most domestic upgrades,American Airlines wants 15,000 miles plus $ 75.

3. Get lucky.

Sometimes airlines overbook coach(经济舱),and a few travelers get no seats. Agents try to ensure the airline's most loyal travelers get the nod(被选中). Agents usually have some flexibility to make sure the plane is full and takes off on time. So it's the easiest way for them to do it-they might upgrade someone else out of order.

4. Save a life.

Flight attendants don't usually upgrade passengers, even when empty seats remain. Doctors and nurses who answer an emergency call are sometimes an exception. If they comfort a passenger, flight attendants might allow them to sit in business or first class for the rest of the flight.

【小题1】What might be the main topic of the passage?
A.The ways to get upgraded on a plane.
B.How to get on the flight safely and on time.
C.The best ways to get free flight tickets.
D.How to save a life on a plane quickly.
【小题2】Who can have the chance to get a free upgrade?
A.The person who always obeys the rules on the flight.
B.The person who doesn't have to look after a patient.
C.The person who is a friend of the flight attendants.
D.The person who flies a lot and has a long flying distance.
【小题3】Why might medical personnel be allowed to sit in business or first class sometimes?
A.Because they would like to talk with flight attendants kindly.
B.Because they want to have a better rest after a long journey.
C.Because they need to treat a passenger who is in emergent condition.
D.Because they are tired of staying with common passengers.
【小题4】Where can we find the passage?
A.A life guide.B.A travel guide.
C.A shopping guide.D.A pilot guide.

   How do actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines? Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly.
【小题1】
For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals(排练) encourage this by running through the lines or having a"read-through". By the time the opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.
Listen to your cast members
Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. 【小题2】. This will help the actors learn their lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbing.

【小题3】

Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play's dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene. Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own lines. 【小题4】. Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members, and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.
Think positively and don't panic
Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night. Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don't freeze. Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. 【小题5】.
A.Record your lines
B.Practice makes perfect
C.Read lines loud and repeat them
D.Remember the lines in a short time
E.Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization
F.Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines
G.Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times
