Read the following questions and type the letter A,B,C or D to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 9.
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 co-operative 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 occupations - 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 get mature, you will likely to develop new interests and
skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today
need not be your final one.

Read the following questions and type the letter A,B,C or D to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 10.
The Native American peoples of the north Pacific Coast created a highly
complex maritime culture as they invented modes of productionunique to their
special environment. In addition to their sophisticated technical culture, they
also attained one of the most complex social organizations of any
nonagricultural people in the world. In a division of labor similar to that of the
hunting peoples in the interior and among foraging peoples throughout the
world, the men did most of the fishing, and the women processed the catch.
Women also specialized in the gathering of the abundant shellfish that lived
closer to shore. They collected oysters, crabs, sea urchins, mussels, abalone, and
clams, which they could gather while remaining close to their children. The
maritime life harvested by the women not only provided food, but also supplied
more of the raw materials for making tools than did fish gathered by the men. Of
particular importance for the native tool than did the fish gathered by the men.
Of particular made from the larger mussel shells, and a variety of cutting edges
that could be made from other marine shells.
The women used their tools to process all of the fish and marine mammals
brought in by the men. They cleaned the fish, and dried vast quantities of them
for the winter. They sun-dried fish when practical, but in the rainy climate of the
coastal area they also used smokehouses to preserve tons of fish and other
seafood annually. Each product had its own peculiar characteristics that
demanded a particular way of cutting or drying the meat, and each task required
its own cutting blades and other utensils.
After drying the fish, the women pounded some of them into fish meal, which
was an easily transported food used in soups, stews, or other dishes to provide
protein and thickening in the absence of fresh fish or while on long trips. The
women also made a cheese-like substance from a mixture of fish and roe by
aging it in storehouses or by burying it in wooden boxes or pits lined with rocks
and tree leaves.
