Ⅲ. 阅读理解
You may ask yourself these questions many times: What should I do with my life? Should I be a teacher, a scientist or a doctor? You may always have many ideas about that. As a middle school student, it's time for you to choose one.
But don't just think about your dream job. You need to work hard for it. Getting the right job for yourself is like climbing. You do it step by step before you reach the top. You need to take the necessary lessons.
Maybe you want to be a reporter. You might start by working for a newspaper. In college, you might choose a journalism major(新闻学专业) and work for a newspaper when you are free. You might work as an intern(实习生) after finishing college. As long as you work hard for your dream, you will become a great reporter one day.
We never stop learning. This does not just mean school education. In fact, our learning started long ago. Many things we did in the middle school gave us much we will use later in our job. Joining a club, having a summer job, volunteering and reading—all of these are useful in the long term. Just remember: The decisions you make now are important!
