21、 The New Year is always a time of new beginnings, a time for a change, and a time to set goals.【1】 Here are some tips for setting career goals in a new year:
Reflect on Your Year
Take some time to consider your career in the year that just ended. If you dislike your job, try to figure out why. Is it due to the work itself, or something about the workplace? If you like what you do, and it’s outside factors that you find limiting, it might make sense to make your goal to find a new position. 【2】
Engage in Career Research
【3】Start to read about careers of interest by browsing websites or publications at your local bookstore or library. Identify two new careers to research each week, and keep a diary of your interest in each. For those fields with a genuine appeal, make a list of questions to research so that you can fully evaluate the suitability of that career for you.
Check Out What Your Friends Do
【4】 Think about the roles of colleagues, suppliers, or clients that might be a good fit for you, and interview them about the nature of their work. Share your skills list with them, and ask for help brainstorming career options that might be worth considering within their sections.
Gain New Skills
If you want to take up a new career, consider volunteering to gain additional experience, or taking classes to learn new skills.【5】
A.Always be ready to learn and aim to be better.
B.Activate your curiosity about the work lives of people in your social network.
C.If you are totally in love with what you do, aim higher, and strive to be better.
D.Spend some time assessing what you like and dislike about your current situation.
E.Many people look forward to changing career paths and aiming for bigger dreams.
F.The more you research, the easier it will be to make decisions and set goals for yourself.
G.The same holds true if you feel positive about your field, but are ready for more significant responsibilities.

23、Slowing down was the last thing on Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year. She'd enjoyed an ambitious travel schedule for the previous decade. She didn't feel too old to travel.
Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry has already responded. Try renting a car in Europe, for example. In Croatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year, because the maximum age is 70. Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities. That feels like a " no" for many travelers.
Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age. It's their level of fitness, says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog. She recalls a 93-year-old who was disabled and traveling alone on a Caribbean tour. "You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for medical care. " she says. "Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it. So, in this case, my advice is: he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation. "
But some tour operators serve older travelers. For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to serve senior members. “We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s. Some travel as a couple and some alone,” says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon. “We have no age limit.”
If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number. It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent, mental ability. "Many of our travelers are retired, focused on keeping their good health, and are experienced travelers who have a good idea of what to expect, "says Sara Baer-Sinnott, president of Oldways, a food and nutrition nonprofit that operates tours. "Someone in their 40's may struggle more than someone in their 80s. "
【1】What is expected if Schaefer travels in Croatia this year?
A.She can rent a car to go around.
B.She has to pay more insurance fees.
C.She can join in all kinds of activities.
D.She will receive 24/7 medical care.
【2】What caused Veldman to disapprove of the 93-year-old's traveling?
A.His old age.
B.His lack of money.
C.His poor health.
D.His in sociable personality.
【3】What do we know about Grand Circle Travel?
A.It is a non-profit traveling organization.
B.It offers service to a wide range of travelers.
C.It has a history of more than seven decades.
D.Its main customers are senior travelers.
【4】What is the authors altitude towards traveling old?
A.Opposed.
B.Supportive.
C.Tolerant.
D.Objective.
24、 How do we model gratitude when we might be struggling with our own frustrations? For adults, Fehr suggests a "gratitude boot camp." This seven-day program can help adults figure out what works best for them.
Day 1: The Three Blessings: Write down three good things that happened to you that day for which you can give another person credit.
Day 2: To Whom for What: Think of three people for whom you are grateful in your life and write about the reasons.
…
Day 5: Absence of Blessing: Think about an aspect of your life for which you are grateful and spend a few minutes writing about what your life would be like without it.
Day 6: Pay It Forward: Show appreciation for another person through quality time spent together or an act of service.
Day 7: Day of Reflection: Spend a few minutes writing about your experiences over the past few days.
Fehr suggests thinking of gratitude as an everyday practice, for both the little and the big things in life, by which we express gratitude in our commonplace interactions with others. Documenting your blessings by using a journal is a good start for developing a gratitude practice, but don't keep it to yourself. "I would encourage people to take the next step in expressing it. It's really when we bring our gratitude into the world with our words and with our actions that its power can be felt. It can impact our relationships and other people's lives — that's where it really matters. "
Gratitude doesn't just encourage us to thank those who have helped us directly; it encourages helping others, in general. "Experiencing gratitude has a spillover effect, making you want to pay it forward," says Fehr.
If we all did that, what a wonderful world it would be.
【1】What can we learn about the program?
A.It is designed for teenagers.
B.It aims to train adults to be grateful.
C.It will last more than seven days.
D.It costs less than other camps.
【2】What will Fehr suggest you do on Day 5?
A.Think of one person to whom you should thank.
B.Imagine losing blessing of something in your life.
C.Reflecting your experience in the camp.
D.Make three wishes for those you love.
【3】Which will be the best advice for beginners in developing a gratitude practice?
A.Write down your blessings in the diary.
B.Never give your blessings away.
C.Express your blessing freely.
D.Pay it forward for love or money.
