Others never find a job in which they are really happy. They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. Whenwe choose our careers, we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? The idea, for example, of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, but unless we have great talent and are willing to work very hard, we are certain to fail in these occupations, and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.二、 {{B}}PART II LISTE NING COMPREHENSION{{/B}}总题数：3,分数：10.00）In Sections A, B and C you will hear everything ONCE ONLY.
