Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make．One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”___76___.

There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all．Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time．___77__.He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them．His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream．One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick．Without stopping to think, the lad（少年）offered to take his place．___78___

       Mark Twain liked to play jokes in his friends．One day one of his friends lost his wallet and asked Mark pay the train fare for him．"But I haven't got enough money to pay both your fare or mine," Mark said．Then he adds, "We can get on the train first and when the conductor comes to check ticket, you hide under my seat．" Late, however, when the conductor came to check tickets, Mark gave him two more tickets．Then he said in the loud voice, "My friend is a strange man．When he travels on a train, he prefers to lying on the floor under the seat．" Of course many passengers laughed at his poorly friend．

It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. ___71___

　　“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for. ___72___. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.

　　First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in. ___73___. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.

　　Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas ― skills with people, skills with information and skills with things ― which are your best skills?

　　After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. ___74___.

　　Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! ___75___.

A. It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.

B. Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job.

C. We must know what our ideal jobs are.

D. There is a difference between an interest and a skill.

E. Ask your friends about the work they do.

F. “Chance” may play a more important part than “decision”.

G. Your parents may also give you some useful advice.

     Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded （包圍） by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

67．According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

A．Those who often take exercise.             

B．Those who often watch television.

C．Those who often have meals at home.     

D．Those who often walk to school.

68．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because

A．their parents often cook meals for them       

B．they are too busy to go out and play

C．they can' t choose what to eat                        

D．there are too many fast food shops around

69．The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.

A．forcing        B．guiding        C．driving        D．moving

70．The main purpose of the text is to _________.

A．tell a story           B．provide facts    C．give advice        D．compare opinions
