Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 37.
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation - building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent - that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country.
If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plmnber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.
The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ________ .
Đáp án C.
Dịch nghĩa: Từ “them” ở đoạn 2 nhắc đến ________.
A. những câu hỏi
B. những câu trả lời
C. những tính năng
D. những công việc
Dịch bài
Chọn nghề nghiệp có thể là một trong những công việc khó khăn nhất bạn từng có, và nó phải được thực hiện một cách cẩn thận. Hãy xem sự nghiệp như là một cơ hội để làm điều gì đó bạn yêu thích, không chỉ đơn giản là một cách để kiếm sống. Đầu tư thời gian và nỗ lực để khám phá kỹ lưỡng các lựa chọn của bạn có thể đồng nghĩa với sự khác biệt giữa tìm kiếm một nghề nghiệp kích thích và bổ ích, và chuyển từ một công việc sang công việc không thỏa mãn trong nỗ lực tìm kiếm công việc phù hợp hơn. Công việc ảnh hưởng hầu như mọi khía cạnh của cuộc sống của bạn, từ lựa chọn bạn bè đến nơi bạn sống. Đây chỉ là một vài trong số các yếu tố để xem xét.
Quyết định những gì quan trọng nhất với bạn là điều cần thiết để đưa ra quyết định đúng đắn. Bạn có thể muốn bắt đầu bằng cách đánh giá sở thích, sở ghét, điểm mạnh và điểm yếu của bạn. Hãy suy nghĩ về các lớp học, sở thích và môi trường xung quanh mà bạn thấy hấp dẫn nhất. Hãy tự hỏi mình những câu hỏi, chẳng hạn như “Bạn có muốn đi du lịch không? Bạn có muốn làm việc với trẻ em? Bạn có phù hợp hơn với công việc đơn độc hoặc hợp tác không?” Không có câu trả lời đúng hay sai; chỉ có bạn biết những gì là quan trọng với bạn. Xác định những tính năng công việc bạn yêu cầu, những công việc bạn muốn và những công việc bạn không thể chấp nhận. Sau đó xếp chúng theo thứ tự quan trọng đối với bạn.
Thiết lập của công việc là một yếu tố cần tính đến. Bạn có thể không muốn ngồi ở bàn làm việc cả ngày. Nếu không, có rất đa dạng các nghề nghiệp - thanh tra xây dựng, giám sát viên, đại lý bất động sản - liên quan đến rất nhiều thời gian ra khỏi văn phòng. Vị trí địa lý có thể là một mối quan tâm, và việc làm trong một số lĩnh vực tập trung ở các khu vực nhất định. Công việc quảng cáo nói chung chỉ có thể được tìm thấy ở các thành phố lớn. Mặt khác, nhiều ngành công nghiệp như khách sạn, giáo dục luật và bán lẻ được tìm thấy ở tất cả các khu vực của đất nước.
Nếu mức lương cao là quan trọng đối với bạn, đừng đánh giá sự nghiệp bằng mức lương khởi điểm. Nhiều công việc, chẳng hạn như bán bảo hiểm, cung cấp mức lương khởi điểm tương đối thấp; tuy nhiên, tiền lương tăng đáng kể cùng với kinh nghiệm, đào tạo bổ sung, khuyến mãi và tiền hoa hồng của bạn.
Đừng loại trừ bất kỳ nghề nghiệp nào mà không tìm hiểu thêm về nó. Một số ngành gợi lên các hiệp hội tích cực hoặc tiêu cực. Cuộc sống du lịch của một tiếp viên hàng không có vẻ quyến rũ, trong khi của một thợ sửa ống nước thì không. Hãy nhớ rằng nhiều công việc không phải là những gì chúng nhìn như lúc đầu, và có thể có những ưu điểm hoặc nhược điểm ít rõ ràng hơn. Tiếp viên hàng không phải làm việc nhiều giờ, mệt mỏi hàng giờ mà không ngủ được, trong khi thợ ống nước có thể được trả lương cao như một số bác sĩ. Một điểm khác cần xem xét là khi bạn trưởng thành, bạn có thể sẽ phát triển những sở thích và kỹ năng mới có thể chỉ đường cho những cơ hội mới. Sự lựa chọn bạn đưa ra hôm nay không cần phải là lựa chọn cuối cùng của bạn.

If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.

Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or another dependable source of current is available, transportation expects foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric deliver vans, bikes, and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electric vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which is no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times number of vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today.

Dịch bài
Ngày nay, xe ô tô nhỏ hơn, an toàn hơn, sạch hơn và tiết kiệm hơn so với các mẫu trước, nhưng chiếc xe của tương lai sẽ không bị ô nhiễm hơn nhiều so với những chiếc trên đường hiện nay. Một số loại động cơ ô tô mới đã được phát triển chạy bằng các nguồn năng lượng thay thế, như điện, khí đốt tự nhiên, metanol, hơi nước, hydro, propan. Điện, tuy nhiên, là lựa chọn không phát thải duy nhất hiện có.
Mặc dù xe điện sẽ không thực sự thiết thực cho đến khi có pin mạnh, nhỏ gọn hoặc nguồn điện đáng tin cậy khác, giao thông vận tải dự kiến sẽ có một loại xe điện mới đi vào cuộc sống hàng ngày: xe điện đi lại ngắn hơn, xe ba bánh, xe tải chở hàng bằng điện, xe đạp và xe đẩy.
Khi các nhà sản xuất ô tô làm việc để phát triển xe điện thực tế, các nhà quy hoạch đô thị và kỹ sư tiện ích đang tập trung vào các hệ thống cơ sở hạ tầng để hỗ trợ và tận dụng tốt nhất những chiếc xe mới. Các cơ sở thu phí công cộng sẽ cần phải trở nên phổ biến như các trạm xăng ngày nay. Các điểm đỗ xe công cộng trên đường phố hoặc trong các lô thương mại sẽ cần được trang bị các thiết bị cho phép người lái sạc pin khi họ dừng lại, ăn tối hoặc tham dự buổi hòa nhạc. Để khuyến khích sử dụng xe điện, bãi đậu xe thuận tiện nhất trong các trung tâm giao thông có thể được dành riêng cho ô tô điện.
Các nhà quy hoạch dự kiến xe buýt đưa đón bằng điện, xe lửa và các phương tiện giao thông trong khu vực đều họp tại các trung tâm quá cảnh sẽ có phương tiện để tính phí và cho thuê. Những người đi làm sẽ có thể thuê nhiều loại xe điện phù hợp với nhu cầu của họ: xe tải nhẹ, xe ba bánh một người, xe nhỏ hoặc xe kết hợp điện / xăng cho những chuyến đi dài hơn, điều mà chắc chắn xảy ra trên đường cao tốc tự động có khả năng xử lý năm lần số lượng phương tiện có thể được vận chuyển bằng đường cao tốc ngày nay.
