19、m good reading we can derive pleasure,companionship,experience,and instruction.A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity.Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life.It increases our contentment when we

20、are cheerful,and lessens our troubles when we are sad.Whatever may be our main purpose in reading,our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely.Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are

21、 purely imaginary,they may become our companions and friends.In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times.The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom w

22、e are glad to welcome as new acquaintances.Our human friends sometimes may bore us,but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company.By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings.When human friends desert us,good books are always ready to gi

23、ve us friendship,sympathy,and encouragement.One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience.Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences,but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities

24、 of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place,a book will help us when nothing else can.To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way;no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us;no passport to enter the land of our hearts desire.Through books we may

25、get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger.We can climb lofty 第 4 页 共 12 页 mountains,brave the perils of an Antarctic winter,or cross the scorching sands of the desert,all without hardship.In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood;we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulev

26、ards;we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island.Indeed,through books the whole world is ours for the asking.The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited.The beauties of nature,the enjoyment of music,the treasures of art

27、,the triumphs of architecture,the marvels of engineering,are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.41.Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?A.No one has come to disturb you.B.Everything is so quiet and calm around you.C.The book you

31、we can ask to go anywhere in the world C.we can make a claim to everything in this world D.we can make a round-the-world trip free of charge B 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 care

32、er,theres 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 jobs pay.There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good j

33、ob.Here are a few of those main areas;1)Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating（使孤立）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 the

34、y 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?第 5 页 共 12 页 Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them,but some are more than others.If you need

37、ont know immediately to a smaller setting where youll 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 ex

38、ample for this.Anyway,these are a great starting point for you.Ive 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 t

42、lities and Jobs C Jack London had endured more hardships by the age of twenty-one than most people experience in a lifetime.His struggles developed in him sympathy for the working class and a lasting dislike of hard work and provided inspiration for his career as a writer.London grew up in San Franc

43、isco in extreme poverty.At an early age,he left school and supported himself through a succession of un skilled jobs-working as a paper boy,in bowling alleys,on ice wagons,and in canneries（罐头食品厂）and mills.Despite working long hours at these jobs,London was able to read constantly,borrowing travel an

44、d adventure books from the library.The books London read inspired him to travel,and his job experiences led him to become active in fighting for the fights of workers.He sailed to Japan on a journey aiming at catching seals and joined a cross-country protest march with a group of unemployed workers.

45、After being arrested for vagrancy near Buffalo,New York,London decided to educate himself and reshape his life.He quickly completed high school and entered the University of California.After only one term,however,the appeal of fortune and adventure proved uncontrollable.London gave up his studies an

46、d traveled to the Alaskan Yukon in 1897 in search of gold.Jack London was among the first of these miners.He may have searched for more than gold,however.London once commented,True,the new region was mostly poor;but its several hundred thousand square miles of coldness at least gave breathing space

47、to those who else would have choked at home.Although he was unsuccessful as a miner,Londons experiences in Alaska taught him about the human desire for wealth and power and about humankinds inability to control the forces of nature.While in Alaska,London also absorbed memories and stories that would

48、 make him known one hundred years later.Once back in California,London became determined to earn a living as a writer.He rented a typewriter and worked up to fifteen hours a day,spinning his Alaskan adventures into short stories and novels.According to legend,Londons piles of rejection slips from pu
