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.
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 is 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 plumber 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 author states that “There are no right or wrong answers” in order to __________
Đáp án C

B. thể hiện việc trả lời được một câu hỏi là cả quá trình dài và khó khăn.
C. nhấn mạnh rằng câu trả lời của mỗi người sẽ khác nhau.
D. nói lên rằng câu trả lời của mỗi người sẽ thay đổi theo thời gian.
“There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you.”
(Không có đáp án nào là đúng hay sai; chỉ có bạn biết được bản thân mình cần gì.)
Như vậy, câu này ý nói không có bất cứ một đáp án cụ thể nào cho những câu hỏi được đặt ra, câu trả lời phải tùy thuộc vào bản thân mỗi người, tức là mỗi cá nhân sẽ có đáp án khác biệt cho riêng mình.

D. Để biểu thị rằng mọi người phải nỗ lực với nghề mình chọn.
Nói về nghề tiếp viên, tác giả viết: “The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous... Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps”
(Cuộc sống dịch chuyển của tiếp viên có vẻ hấp dẫn, thú vị... Tiếp viên phải làm việc vất vả suốt nhiều giờ liền không ngủ)
Hai vế đối ngược nhau, một mặt là vẻ ngoài dễ dàng, sung sướng và mặt khác là hiện thực vất vả. Rõ ràng, tác giả đề cập đến “long, grueling hours without sleeps” là để đối chiếu hiện thực nghề tiếp viên với suy nghĩ của mọi người về vẻ ngoài hấp dẫn của nó.

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.
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 is 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 plumber 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.
According to the passage, which of the following is true?
Đáp án B

D. Để kiếm được nhiều tiền, bạn không nên chọn một nghề với mức lương khởi điểm thấp.
Tác giả có nói: “many jobs are not what they appear to be at first” (nhiều nghề không hẳn giống với những gì chúng thể hiện ban đầu)
Cũng đồng nghĩa rằng cái nhìn ban đầu của chúng ta về một nghề nghiệp, công việc nào đó có thể không chính xác.
