Unit 4 Career Planning

职业生涯规划

1、职业生涯规划不一定例行或合乎逻辑的步骤。我们每个人都在不同的地方体重因素，可考虑某些阶段的职业规划，在不同的时间。职业规划包括收集有关自己和了解职业，估计各种可能的结果的行动，最后，选择的替代品，我们认为有吸引力的和可行的。

2、许多观察家指出，学生是不是非常有效的职业生涯规划。他们列举的证据表明，大多数学生中选择一种十分狭隘集团的职业;多达40至百分之六十选择专业职业，而实际上只有15日至18日的百分之劳动力从事专业工作;年轻人表现出惊人的缺乏兴趣的文书，销售，服务等职业，尽管这些领域提供了许多就业机会;多达三分之一的学生无法表示任何选择职业。

3、在书中决策，欧文詹尼斯和莱昂曼确定中存在的严重缺陷的方法很多人作出决定。这些缺陷似乎与模式的人使用，以应付的问题。第一个漏洞是自满。谁无视人民挑战的信息作出的选择，他们表现出的自满。人们谁采取的态度是“这不会影响我”或“这绝不会发生”使用自满为主导的模式行事。当然，自满是适当的任何决定，其中任何事关重大，但这并不说明职业生涯的决定。

4、第二个漏洞，人们应付决定是防御撤销。当面对的是一个决定，并不能认为他们可以找到一个可以接受的解决办法，有些人保持冷静，通过诉诸一厢情愿或白日梦。学生谁不想想影响他们的职业选择往往从事合理化(欺骗自己与自我满足，但不正确的解释，一个人的行为)或拖延(推迟或拖延)。面临的形势可能会产生焦虑，但检查的替代品也可提供救济。

5、第三个漏洞是hypervigilance 。这发生在职业生涯决策当人们认为，没有足够的时间来寻找解决办法，他们的恐慌。他们疯狂地寻找职业的可能性和抓住匆忙发明的解决办法，忽略了他们所选择的后果以及其他替代方案。人谁在恐慌有时并不认为明确或逻辑。

6、最好的因应行为是警惕。警惕决策时，就会发生人认为，选择，应作出，他们可以找到一个解决办法，并且有足够的时间。在这种情况下，学生可以进行有效的寻找替代的职业，认真评估每一个备选方案，并制定应急计划，以防一种或另一种风险出现。

7、以下是关键的职业规划。

8 、研究自己。这是关键的职业规划。了解你喜欢，你的价值，以及你想成为的基础是所有职业规划。在学习，你检查你的长处和短处，自己的.目标，以及您个人的趋势发展。自我的理解是，您可以获得您可以想像某些职业可能最适合你的个性，兴趣，能力和目标。所有职业的决定，要求我们既要了解自己，了解有关工作，并结合这两种知识。

9 、撰写您的职业目标了。有用的技术，组织观念的职业发展实际上是为写下来的时间在你的生活区块。写下来部队您结晶您的思想和认识不清，半形成的想法。这可能导致新的见解您的可能性和可帮助您查看新的关系，模式和趋势，或找出差距在你思考你的职业发展。

10、修改您的计划和进度定期与他人。每个经常，评估您的情况，并考虑了哪些步骤将采取下一步。考虑库存的进展和规划进一步的步骤可以帮助您解决的变化，你的经历和变化，在劳动力市场。谈到自己的计划，高校辅导员，你的父母，和你的朋友可以帮助您确定您的目标和改善你的职业生涯规划或使他们的工作。

11、如果您选择的职业不适合你，你可以从头开始。今天，越来越多的男子和

妇女正在改变职业或取得第二次启动的事业有更大的呼吁他们。许多人发现他们谁行的工作是不能令人满意的克制，为不同的占领。往往是他们新的职业，是他们忽略了他们年轻的时候，或者说他们没有机会继续在那个时候对金融或其他原因。

12、社会学家说，很少有变化，工作机会，涉及“向下”运动;大多数涉及传统业务的“领先” 。不再重视社会的耻辱“不稳定”的想法，职业跳跃，因为它曾经。

13、个职位的变化和职业的变化发生在所有年龄层。据估计，多达四分之一的男性工人年龄介于20和改变其工作方针。大约有一半的数量这样做岁之间的25和44 。

14、职业生涯规划并不能保证所有的问题，困难，或决策的情况，面对您在不久的将来得到解决或取得任何方便。没有任何公式可以考虑这样做。但是，职业规划应该帮助你的办法，更好地应对新问题，如决定是否进入教育或培训计划，决定是否更换工作，并分析了困难，您有一个或一个人的情况。

15、没有人可以预见的未来持有的任何我们。有社会，情感，和道义上的考虑我们对未来不可预见。但最重要的教训，这往往不愉快的是，现代世界的进展来自规划。不了解自己的职业生涯并不幸福“ 10 ” ;原因是优于机会和命运。虽然目前还没有确定的方法，使职业生涯规划工作，有些事情你现在能做的塑造你的职业生涯的可能性。

新编大学英语2课文 篇2

Andy Ellis尽管音乐能使心中的怒气平息，但是开车时听音乐也会损害你的健康。近期研究表明，听声音很响的音乐会严重地影响司机的注意力，而且心理学家也提醒人们，持续大音量地在车里放这种音乐是很危险的，尤其是处于车流中或是在高速公路上开车时。音乐有两个极端，任何一个极端都有可能带来危险。重金属音乐以其强烈的节奏使人莽撞驾驶，而聆听处于另一个极端的优美而令人舒心的音乐会使司机过分放松，以至于超过安全限度，陷入迷糊状态。英国汽车协会一直关注道路安全，它委托搞了一个项目，研究重大车祸与音乐之间的关系。这项研究发现，17至25年龄段的男性是最危险、最易产生车祸的群体。研究还发现，这个群体的人70％的开车时间都在听音乐。快节奏或重金属音乐要是放得很响，会使人易怒好斗，开起车来冲劲十足。这种司机也就更容易去冒险。开车的速度受到了音乐的速度和节奏的控制。在试验中，那些自愿参加实验的司机说，听了声音很响的音乐，他们说尽管他们不一定感到非要开快车，但的确发现自己换挡更快，加速更快，刹车也更急了若是让这些司机听慢节奏的抒情曲，他们承认自己经常走神。在一次高速公路长途驾驶过程中，至少有两位参加试验的司机发现自己在不知不觉中跨越了车道标志。这些自愿参试的司机（有些刚刚拿到驾驶执照）所发表的意见非常说明问题18岁的西蒙告诉英国汽车协会：“《走出地狱的蝙蝠》里的快节奏摇滚乐有可能让人送命。我发现自己不知不觉地越开越快。”另一名自愿参试的司机一直在听“ZZ顶级”乐队最流行的曲子。他说：“我一直在快速行驶，扯着嗓门唱歌，没有看见也没有听见那辆一直想超过我的消防车。”还有些人说：“我陷入了深思……”，“人的感觉会变得麻木……”，“听不见别的汽车声是个问题”，“我一直在随着音乐的节奏加快速度。”一些慢节奏的背景音乐，如肖邦的音乐，会刺激人的大脑，使思维模式发生变化，激发阿尔法脑波，使人有一种舒服愉快的感觉。处于放松状态在大多数时候对我们有好处，但开车时则不然。心理学家雪利·费希尔教授提醒人们说：“最大的危险是疲倦驾驶。有一些音乐会使你无法集中注意力，甚至陷入轻度睡眠状态，那样就会造成可怕的惨祸。”“问题的关键在于根据具体情况选择合适的音乐。刺激性的音乐适合在漫长、枯燥的道路上听，但是当交通状况糟糕时，或是交通拥挤时，这种音乐会分散你的注意力。”然而，音乐也有其好的一面，正如英国汽车协会的心理学家罗伯特·韦斯特所指出的那样：“如果说有些音乐影响我们安全行驶，那么反过来也是有道理的。精心选择的曲子有助于我们安全行驶，尤其是对高风险的群体而言。例如，要是我们能使年轻的男性驾车者听曼托瓦尼的音乐，他们很可能会把速度放慢。但可悲的是，我自认为没有能力说服他们许多人去这样做。”除了一些音乐会影响行驶安全，我们的车里安装了高技术的音响系统这件事本身也是引起车祸的根源。近期一份有关交通与道路安全的报告表明，小交通事故中，有大约40％是由于人们更换磁带或光盘不看道路所引起的！无论我们对音乐的品位如何，无论我们的开车风格如何，看来安全行驶的习惯是我们一定要养成的。罗孚汽车公司、英国航空航天局、飞利浦公司及瑞典道路与交通研究所已通力合作生产出了一种汽车智能系统——简称为ARIADNE（实时智能驾驶助理）的精密电子防撞行驶报警装置。它利用雷达技术，一旦面临撞车危险，雷达会使车内的电话响起，警告司机注意。如果汽车与前面的车辆之间的距离超出了安全刹车的范围，ARIADNE会通过加速器踏板发出震动以提醒司机放慢速度。随着两车之间的距离不断缩小，这种震荡会越来越强烈。要是司机

对这种警告仍然无动于衷的话，发动机的运转就会中断，危险警告灯就亮起来。因此千万要记住：即便音乐是爱的食物，你也要悠着点，尤其是在你开车的时候，这样我们大家才可以继续“播放”下去。

The Beatles1980年，约翰·列侬在纽约的公寓外被一位年轻男子杀害——早些时候他还为此人在唱片封面上签过名。列侬之死标志着一个时代的结束。本来人们对甲壳虫乐队有朝一日重新组合在一起还抱有一线希望，现在连这一线希望也永远地破灭了。但是，更为重要的是，他们所代表的乐观主义精神和他们所传播的社会意识亦随之而去了。1960年，乔治·哈里森、约翰·列侬、保罗·麦卡特尼和林格·斯塔尔在利物浦创建了甲壳虫乐队。哈里森、列侬和麦卡特尼有在德国汉堡的一家俱乐部演出的经验，但是甲壳虫乐队却是在他们的家乡利物浦市的卡文真正开始走红的。他们的第一张单曲唱片“Love Me Do”（《爱我吧》）发行于1962年10月。四个月后，他们的第二张单曲唱片“Please, Please Me”（《给我快乐》）直闯排行榜的前10名，很快又令人羡慕地荣登榜首，而他们的第一张密纹唱片也成为1963年最畅销的密纹唱片。乐队虽然于1970年解散了（此时乐队成员个个都成了百万富翁），但是他们的唱片仍然行销全世界。到底是什么使甲壳虫乐队如此地与众不同呢？作为一支乐队，他们才华出众，他们的嗓音优美动听，但这不足以使他们出名。或许是下列因素给他们带来了好运吧：他们来自于环境优美的默西赛德郡，并且喜爱美国黑人节奏布鲁斯音乐；他们的幸运之处还在于他们之间以及他们与观众之间和谐、融洽的关系；同时，列侬和麦卡特尼合作创作了一系列优秀的歌曲。起初，他们的音乐题材总是那些年轻听众所感兴趣和关心的：爱情、忧伤、好运、厄运以及任何大城市都有的离奇有趣的人物。后来，他们的作品反映了20世纪60年代的社会状况，唱出了社会的不平等和政治上的不公正。此外，他们创作了悦耳、风格新颖的旋律，达到了能让卓越的音乐大师巴锡和埃拉·菲茨杰拉德演奏和歌唱的水平。甲壳虫乐队与众不同，因为他们相信自己的才华。他们绝不模仿照搬任何人，他们意志坚强，没有被一夜之间取得的超乎想象的巨大成就所毁灭。在这方面，他们可能应该感谢他们的唱片制作人乔治·马丁和他们的经理布赖恩·爱泼斯坦。甲壳虫乐队的另一非凡之处还在于在那个社会和政治理想破灭的时代，他们是一股强大的积极力量。他们代表了那个时代年轻人的心声。

Songs of Love从很多方面来说，约翰•贝尔茨可称得上是世界上最成功的歌曲作家。他写的每一首歌保证都大受欢迎——不是指在流行音乐排行榜上，而是在孩子的心中。这是因为贝尔茨的每一首歌都是写给一位身患重病的孩子。他的歌总是能让孩子们露出笑容并振作精神。他们一遍遍地播放这些歌。这对于贝尔茨来说要比高居流行音乐排行榜有意义得多。38岁的贝尔茨是一个非营利组织“爱心之歌”的创始人和经理。这个组织由音乐家、歌曲家、歌手和音响师自愿联合组成，创作反映孩子个性的独特而欢快的歌曲。贝尔茨管理着这一组织，并在纽约市昆斯区父母家的地下室建立了一个小型的录音室。贝尔茨相信音乐有治疗效果。当一个成年人聆听一首自己喜爱的歌曲时，他会心情舒畅；那么当一个小孩听到一首专门为自己谱写的歌曲时，结果也会非常令人振奋。“爱心之歌”自1996年组建以来，为孩子们谱写、录制并送出了780首鼓舞人心的歌曲，这一切都是免费进行的。

A voice mail is a telephone answering system on which spoken messages are left by one person for another.Text

For Conversation Press # 1 I’ve got a cell phone, e-mail and voice mail.But why am I so lonely?

A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation.There they were, talking and talking on a beautifully sunny day and I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones.They were passing other people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pet their puppies.Evidently, the cordless electronic voice is preferable to human contact.The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Recently I was in a car with three friends.The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone.There we were, four friends zooming down the highway, unable to talk to one another because of a gadget designed to make communication easier.Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback to the intimacy of human interaction.With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every conceivable contact between human beings gets automated, the alienation index goes up.You can’t even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.Pumping gas at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into the ATM? I am no Luddite.I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mail system, an email account.Giving them up isn’t an option — they are great for what they are intended to do.It’s their unintended consequences that make me cringe.Language Points 1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences 1.(Title)For Conversation Press # 1 Analysis: In this sentence, for means with the purpose of.Press # 1 is in imperative mood.# stands for No., therefore #1 is read as No.1.Translation: 通话按1号键。Example: For redialing, press the # key.2.(Para.3)I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation.Analysis: Interrupting our conversation in the sentence is a present participle phrase used as an adverbial of result.Translation: 最近我和一位朋友正在公园里散步，突然他的手机响起来，打断了我们的谈话。

Example: The child fell, striking his head against the door and hurting it slightly.3.(Para.3)There they were, talking and talking on a beautifully sunny day and I became invisible, absent from the conversation.Analysis: Talking and talking on a beautifully sunny day is a present participle phrase used as an adverbial of attendant circumstance.Translation: 在一个阳光明媚的日子，他们在那儿谈啊谈，而我却被遗忘，成了谈话的局外人。

Example: Marta sat in the armchair, reading a magazine.4.(Para.5)There we were, four friends zooming down the highway, unable to talk to one another because of a gadget designed to make communication easier.Analysis: Four friends zooming on the highway is a present participle phrase, with four friends as the logical subject of zooming on the highway.The whole phrase serves as an adverbial of attendant circumstance.Designed to make communication easier is a past participle phrase used as an attribute, modifying the antecedent gadget.Translation: 我们四位朋友坐在车里，飞驰在高速公路上，却因为有了那个被 设计来方便通信的小玩意儿而不能互相交谈。

Example: My room is on the fourth floor, its window overlooking the beach.Trucks and buses were driven on gas carried in large bags on the roof.5.(Para.6)Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel?

Information Related to the Reading Passage 1.Proper phone etiquette tips

Proper phone etiquette is important at both a personal and professional level.Being polite on the telephone is just as important as when speaking with someone in person.You might be surprised at how good you feel about yourself if you use proper telephone etiquette and the positive responses received while talking on the phone.Here are a few telephone etiquette tips as an update to skills that are quite natural in many of us.Always answer the phone by saying “Hello” and not any other greeting.If the person who has been requested is not available, simply state that he or she “is not available at this time.May I take a message?” Not only does the person on the other end of the phone have a good impression about you, that feeling will apply to the person they are calling for as well.Always be quick and to the point while remaining pleasant during a phone call.Friends and family will continue with a telephone conversation if they have time, otherwise they are not likely to rush you off the phone no matter how busy they are.No one is perfect, so if you dial a wrong phone number, state your mistake, apologize and hang up the phone.2.Ways to answer a telephone at work

There are several accepted ways to answer a telephone at work.You can simply say “Hello” or you can say your name, as in “ June Johnson speaking.” You don’t need to say the company’s name if a receptionist or a secretary has already done so.Try to speak in a pleasant, unrushed voice.If you are rushed and can’t talk, it’s better to say this and make plans to call back later.Don’t rustle papers or work while you’re speaking on the phone.If you’re really too distracted to speak, then reschedule the call.It’s okay and sometimes even necessary to screen your calls.But there’s a right and a wrong way to do this.First, train your secretary to do it politely.It’s better to ask “May I know who’s calling?” than “ Who is this?” or even “ Who’s calling?” Second, don’t instruct your secretary to say you are out when you are in.It’s acceptable to be in but too busy to talk at the moment and it’s always better to be honest.Callers sense the difference, and besides, it may not look good ifyou’re always out.It’s rude not to return telephone calls regardless of whom they are from.You might be ignoring a potential customer.Many people today don’t bother to return phone calls, and if you work for someone else, it’s highly unlikely that such behavior is acceptable.When you do return calls, try to place them yourself.If you must have your secretary make the call, then get on the line immediately.It’s not polite to keep someone waiting when you’ve placed the call.Text

Business Telephone Etiquette for Success Proper telephone etiquette is more important than ever in today’s business environment.Much of our business communication takes place on the phone: in the office, at home, in the car, virtually anywhere.In various areas, proper phone technique can make or break deals or relationships.Look at these guidelines that can help you use the phone as a powerful tool.First is the greeting.When answering the phone for business, be sure to identify yourself and your company.If answering someone else’s line, be sure to include their name in your greeting, so that the other party does not think they have reached a wrong number.For example, if Bob Johnson answers Jim Smith’s line, he would say: “Jim Smith’s line, Bob Johnson speaking” and then take a message or handle the call, depending on how his office works.When you are the person making the call, be sure to use proper phone etiquette from the start.You want to be sure to be polite to the “gatekeepers” i.e.secretaries, receptionists etc.who answer the phone for your business contact, as they are the ones who have the power to put you through(or not), say, at 4:55 P.M.on Friday, when their boss is getting ready to leave the office.When you have reached the party, if your call has been expected, remind them of the prior conversation and appointment.People get busy and can seem surprised until you remind them of where they should remember you from.If your call is not expected, unless it will be a short call, ask the party if they have the time for you.If the other person does not have time, briefly state the purpose of your call and ask for an appointment to follow up at a later time.Have a phone diary.Keep a pencil and pad near the phone and jot notes during phone conversations.This will help you “actively listen” and have a reference later.Employ active listening noises such as “Yes” or “I see” or “Great”.This lets the other person know that you care about what they have to say.End the call on a positive note by thanking the other person for their time and express an interest in speaking with them again(if that is true).A gracious goodbye leaves the door open for further communication.In this global village today, you never know whom you will be doing business with in the future, so burning any bridges, or telephone lines, would be unwise.Language Points 1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences 1.(Para.2)If answering someone else’s line, be sure to include their name in your greeting, so that the other party does not think they have reached a wrong number.Analysis: This is a complex sentence.Be sure to include their name in your greeting is the main clause, which is an imperative sentence with the subject “you” being omitted;if answering someone else’s line is an adverbial clause of condition, with the subject “you” being omitted;so that introduces an adverbial clause of purpose.Translation: 如果你接的是别人的电话，一定要在问候时包含应接电话人的名字，以免对方误以为打错了电话。

Example: If answering the phone for business, be sure to identify yourself and your company.We’ll sit nearer to the front so that we can see better.2.(Para.2)For example, if Bob Johnson answers Jim Smith’s line, he would say: “Jim Smith’s line, Bob Johnson speaking” and then take a message or handle the call, depending on how his office works.Analysis: This is a complex sentence.The main clause is he would say „ and then take „ or handle the call.The subject of the main clause is he(Bob);and would say, take and handle are compound predicates.Depending on how his office works is a present participle phrase, serving as an adverbial of condition and modifying handle the call.Translation: 例如，如果鲍勃·约翰逊接的是吉姆·史密斯的电话线路，他会说“这是吉姆·史密斯的电话，我是鲍勃·约翰逊”，然后根据自己办公室的工作程序，记下留言或处理来电。

Example: The expenses you claim can vary enormously, depending on travel distances involved.3.(Para.4)If your call is not expected, unless it will be a short call, ask the party if they have the time for you.Analysis: This is a complex sentence.In this sentence, the imperative clause ask the party „ is the main clause with an if-clause;if they have the time for you as its object.Unless it will be a short call is an adverbial clause of concession.Translation: 如果你的电话不是他们期待的，除非你的电话内容很短，否则你要问问对方是否有时间和你交谈。

Example: He won’t finish his task in time unless he works hard.Unless you are trying to lose weight to please yourself, it’s going to be tough to keep your motivation level high.2 Important Words 1.virtually ad.in fact or for all practical purposes 事实上

e.g.It was reported that the city had been virtually paralyzed by the storm.Unemployment in this part of the country was virtually non-existent.2.identify

v.to establish or recognize(sb./ sth.)as a certain person or thing

辨认, 鉴别 e.g.The boy identified the bird as an eagle.The police officer refused to identify himself.They have already identified ten murder suspects.3.contact

v.to make sure that sb.does not forget sth.提醒, 使想起 e.g.Thank you for reminding me of the meeting I have to attend.This hotel reminds me of the one we stayed in last year.The tune reminds me of the same play that we saw a few years ago.6.prior

a.coming before in time, order or importance 在前的 e.g.She denied prior knowledge of the meeting.He didn’t talk about his prior employment.7.follow up

The novel is writed by the order of time.We can see the prelude,the process of unveiling the crime and the dirty deal. I think this novel can be devided into four parts.

Parts 1,from the chief house officer to “In what way conceivable way”.(1-9)Three main characters stepped into the stage and we can feel the tension of the atmosphere.Ogilvie acted in a vugal and uncouth way and showed contempt to the Duke and the Duchess.
