Many people think only professionals- engineers, accountants, teachers, etc.--have careers.__36 Even if you've never had a paid job, you still have a career.Your career is the sum of your life and work.It includes all your activities and experiences. Your schooling, your volunteer work, and even your relationships with your family are all big parts of your career.__37 During your career, you will have a variety ofjobs, occupations and roles.People used to think of a job as full-time, permanent, paid work done for an employer ata work site.But in our changing world, a job is a set of duties or tasks.It can be paid or unpaid.__38__ Even someone who is self-employed has a job.An occupation is a group of jobs with similar responsibilities that require a common set of skills.__39__ Programmers may have permanent or temporary jobs working for specific employers, be self-employed, work full-time or part-time, be paid for their work or volunteer their services.They may change jobs or hold several jobs at one time, but until they change the type of duties or tasks they perform, they are still computer programmers. 40__We all play a number of roles in our lives and our roles often change over time.For example, Kris works four days a week as a receptionist in aclinic and take evening courses in social work.She also sews gymnastic wear for her neighbor who sells it at summer markets.Now Kris has at least three roles

I picked up my two best friends and we were off on aroad trip.I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China.So, naturally I wanted to take atrip to Canada.Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire.We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada.It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border.We turned on the radio to try and
find some Canadian stations.After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St.Catherine's Street. While we walked, two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed.The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show Both men and women look like they stepped out of the_pag es of a magazine.
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montrealis so cold.Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America.To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal.It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy(肉汁).Itis delicious.However, we had ahard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French.It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world.But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal.But at night we'd head to the very modern dance clubs and bars.Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go

In the years of my growing up, Dad was hard on me.He made sure I made my bed and did my homework.As a school girl and young adult, I feared him and felt bitter about him.He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends iftheir fathers were not as “successful" as he was.Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party.I gotsoangry with him for laying down the law.I would scream, “I hate you!" Dad would yell back, “Good!I don't care!” Deep down I knew he did. One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick.I said, “Call my dad."  Next, Dad was carrying me to the car.I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticized.As expected, I gotaroasting, but I now understand why I need discipline. Dad was 29 when he gothis big roles in films.I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn't until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress.Like those early days of Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I've sometimes thought, “I can't do this any more.'
 Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle's music and trying to find myself again.Dad sat me down and said, “Alice, I know it's hard, but it's all about persistence(坚持不懈).’
Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love.we are both enthusiastic about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people.lfit weren't for Dad, I wouldn't be where I am today. He's my biggestfan, and when you have that in your life, you can go a long way.

“Wanted: Violin.Can't pay much.Contact..
I rarely read the classified advertisements, so why did I notice thatone? I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering whathad happened many years ago, during the Great Depression when my family struggled to make a living on our farm.I, too, had wanted a violin.
When my elder twin sisters began showing an interest in music, Harriet Anne learned to play Grandma's piano, while Suzanne tuned to Daddy's violin.Simple tunes became lovely melodies.My baby brother danced; Daddy hummed and Mother whisted. just listened.
When my arms grew long enough, Itried to play Suzanne's violin.Oh, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question.
One evening as the twins played in the school orchestra, I closed my eyes tight to capture the picture firmly in my mind.Some day, I would sit up there, I vowed silently.
It was not a good year.At harvest the crops didn't bring as much as we had hoped.Yet even though times were hard, I couldn't wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?'
“Can't you use Suzamne's?
“I'dlike to be in the orchestra too, and we can't both use the same violin at the same time."
Daddy's face looked sad.That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind
God in our family pravers, “..and Lord, Mary Lou wants her own violin.'
One evening we all sat round the table.The twins and I studied.Mother sewed and
Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, George Finkle, in Columbus, ohio.Mr Finkle,
Daddy said, was a fine violinist.
When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he asked me,“Mary Lou, do you want to go with me to visit Mr Finkle?'He drove us to Columbus and we came to a fine, old house.A tall man opened the
door.He and Daddy heartily shook hands, both talking at once. “Mary Lou, I've been hearing things about vou.Your Daddy has arranged a surprise for you!" He picked up acase, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play.The melody surged and spoke like waterfalls.Oh, to play like him, I thought. Finishing the piece, he turned to Daddy, “I found itin a pawnshop(当铺)for seven dollars.It's a good violin.Mary Lou should be able to make a beautiful music with it.”Then he handed the violin to me.

注意:续写词数应为150左右。

I noticed the tears inDaddy's eyes as I finally comprehended.It was mine!_____________________________________________

I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement.____________________________________
