Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Therefore, the choice of an 36 should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, 37 , most people make several job choices during their working lives, 38 because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve 39 position. The one perfect job does not exist. Young people should 40 enter into a broad flexible training program that will 41 them for a field of work rather than for a single 42 .
Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans 43 benefit of help from a petent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing 44 about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss 45 . Some drift from job to job. Others 46 to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.
One mon mistake is choosing an occupation for 47 real or imagined prestige .
Too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, 48 both the relatively small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal 49 . The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is 50 good reason for choosing it as life's work. 51 , these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the 52 of young people should take serious 53 into these fields.
Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants 54 life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take 55 for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.

(答案→)C
解析：
【小题1】名词辨析。指出“大多数重要的职业都需要一定的专业培训”，故此空应指对“职业”的选择。
【小题2】副词辨析。根据上下文出现的两个对应副词Ideally (理想地)，Actually(实际上)可知两句存在对立关系．含有转折意义。
【小题3】副词辨析。A彻底地；B主要地；C完全地；D部分地；前半句陈述现象，后半句分析原因。根据下文的partly to improve，可知D正确。
【小题4】形容词辨析。根据上下文可知这里的their是指前面提及的most people。
【小题5】上下文串联。根据句意“因此，年轻人应该……广泛灵活的培训计划”．
【小题6】词义辨析。由后文的“一个领域的工作”和“某项工作”，可知年轻人参加培训的目的是为了“适应”工作．因此B为答案。fit sb．for意为“使适合”。
【小题7】上下文串联。所填的词应与work对等呼应
【小题8】介词辨析。根据上下文可知这里应该使用否定词与Unfortunately形成呼应。
【小题9】上下文串联。由Unfortunately可知空格处应填表否定意义的词，know little about表示“对……知之甚少”
【小题10】名词辨析。名词basis与介词on连用。
【小题11】动词辨析。others…则为另一种现象，应与drift相反，即死抱着不喜欢的工作，选D。
【小题12】代词辨析。这里的it指代前面的an occupation。
【小题13】动词辨析。根据句意可知是没有认识到…，忽视了…
【小题14】名词辨析。专业性职业领域对教育和个人能力要求相对较高，requirements“要求”符合。
【小题15】上下文串联。前两句讲选择职业时的常见错误，此处句意顺承上文，应填入否定词，表示有声誉的职业和白领职业并不能成为择业的原因。
【小题16】副词辨析。空格后面一句话继续对这样的选择予以否定．表达的是一种递进关系，有逗号隔开。
【小题17】上下文串联。根据句意可知大部分年轻人要认真考虑这些领域。
【小题18】名词辨析。空格所在的句子与前面的句子构成因果关系(since)．故空格处填入的词大意思应为“考虑，思考”，
【小题19】上下文串联。由he wants与life可知，是“从生活中想得到的”之义．故选B。
【小题20】名词辨析。由一些人希望有安全感和另一些人想得到金钱上的回报，可推知填入的词应与security“安全”相反，故选C。take risks“冒风险”。
