二、任务型阅读。(注意每小题的词数要求)
When Leon Martin asked his parents about becoming a UX designer (User Experience Designer), they were both in silence(沉默地). His mother, Anne, said, “I didn’t know if he meant designing clothes, computer programs or bikes.” Even after Leon explained it was about online design, Anne felt uncertain. She was worried, “How can I help my children reach their best if I don’t understand their dreams?”
Anne is not alone. Research shows over two thirds of parents in England have trouble understanding their children’s new job interests. More than 75% feel it’s hard to offer(提供) good advice because of the fast-changing job market.
Michelle Rea surveyed over 2,000 parents of secondary school students in England. She found many parents were afraid that their children wouldn’t follow their footsteps. “Parents’ opinions greatly influence(影响) their children’s job choices(选择),” she said. “But we only think from our own experiences, and the world has changed since we were in school.”
Bryony Mathew, author(作者) of the Awesome Career Books, suggests that because the world is changing so quickly, parents shouldn’t try to choose certain jobs for their children.
