What should you think about in 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 or weak 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. 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 skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work 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 instructions 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 industry or career you see from the inside in apart-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 column of figures. It is bitter 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 about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he__________.

A．will be a complete failure in his future work
B．will not be able to find a suitable job
C．will regret not having worked harder at school
D．may do well in his future work

Look After Your Voice

Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem
by activating the saliva in you mouth.First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth.Or press
your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow.Or you can imagine that
you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.
Before you begin your talk,be kind to your voice.Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat.
Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.
If you sense that your are losing your voice,stop talking completely.Save your voice for your speech.
You may feel foolish using paper to write notes,but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.If you
need to see a doctor,perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer. In the meantime,do not
even talk in a low voice.
What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat?I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The
problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence.The second drink gives you even more
confidence.Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything,but in fact your brain
and your mouth do not work together properly.Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.
Perhaps you want to accept the advice,but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a life-
time.Of course you can.Goethe,who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools,said,"We learn
to skate in the summer and swim in the winter."Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop
your new habits.If you are willing to change,you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these
techniques because they became a part of your body.

What does the writer suggest when you feel you are losing your voice?
A:Rest your voice.
B:Drink some alcohol.
C:Ask a singer to teach you how to protect your voice.
D:Never go to see a doctor.
