為什么我想做視頻博主？1人們總是問我為什么這么努力地做視頻博客。我的回答始終如一：“我想居家辦公。”但說實話，我的理由遠不止這些。這些年，我關注了許多視頻博主，我看到了他們有趣的經歷，看到了他們去往各種令人驚喜的地方旅行。這一切都是因為他們可以在家舒適地辦公，有機會記錄他們的各種冒險經歷。TextA2

4視頻博客里會出現許多獵奇食物的食譜，以及對這些食物的評價，而這些食物一般人可能都不敢嘗試。我大部分嘗試過的食物都是在視頻博客里看過的。5許多視頻非常有趣，可以在我不開心的時候讓我開懷大笑一番。做視頻博主讓我覺得也許我也可以當一個讓別人快樂的人。6我想成為視頻博主的最后一個原因是，在做視頻博主的過程中我能體驗到快樂。我以前也做過視頻博客，而且非常開心！值得嘗試！TextA7

★calling/?k??l??/

n.職業；事業；使命感；強烈愿望；責任感

★identify/a??dent?fa?/v.找到；發現；確認；認出；識別

擇業方向：以你想要的生活為導向，而非以熱情為導向1我的家庭信奉這樣一句話：“找一份你喜歡的工作，那么你每天做的就算不上是工作”。在這樣的家庭長大，最終我決定從事體育新聞工作。我之所以選擇這份工作，是因為我十幾歲和二十出頭的時候，熱衷于運動和寫作這兩件事。2就像我的家人過去常說的那樣：“你找到了你熱愛的職業。”這讓我覺得自己與同齡人相比的時候，自己是多么的特別和與眾不同。我的同齡人，大多數都還在苦苦探尋自己所熱愛的職業。★admiration/??dm??re??n/n.喜歡；贊賞★tremendous/tr??mend?s/

3在從事體育新聞這份工作幾年后，我意識到，盡管我熱愛體育和寫作，但體育新聞工作還是有很多我不滿意的地方——工資低于平均水平，晚上要加班，周末也要加班，這對我的生活方式產生了巨大的影響。

4我大學畢業之后開始工作，隨后我又于2012年辭去在NBC的工作。然后我開始問自己：如果憑借自己的熱愛沒有找到一條好的職業道路，那么我該如何選擇我的職業呢？TextB5Mostlythroughtrialanderror,itdawnedonme:Alljobs—eventheoneswhichseemthemostinteresting,fun,exciting,etc.fromtheoutsidelookingin—havetheirprosandcons.Thatis,everyjobhasglamorous14

★maximize/?m?ks?ma?z/v.使增加到最大限度；充分利用；最大限度地利用e.g.Theycanmaximizetheoddsofsuccess.他們可以最大限度地提高成功的幾率。

★glamorous/?gl?m?r?s/adj.特別富有魅力的；富于刺激的；獨特的e.g.Toanoutsider,itmayappeartobeaglamorousjob.

在外人看來，這似乎是一份令人向往的工作。

★aspect /??spekt/

n.方面；方向allaspects/everyaspect

各個方面e.g.Thebookaimstocoverallaspectsofcitylife.這本書旨在涵蓋城市生活的各個方面。★plentyof 大量的……e.g.Hehadplentyoftimetocatchhisplane.他有足夠多的時間趕上飛機。

★eventhough 盡管；即使同義表達：evenif e.g.He’sthebestteacher,eventhoughhehastheleastexperience.他雖然經驗最少，但卻是最出色的老師。

5經過反復試錯，我終于明白了：所有的工作——即使是那些從外表看來最有趣、最激動人心的工作，都有其利弊。也就是說，每一份工作都有光輝照人和令人痛苦的一面，有些工作只是更加吸引人而已。6這就是為什么，如果讓我重寫開頭的那句話，我會改為：7“找一份能保證你會非常快樂，并且還能使你有時間追求快樂的職業，這樣的話，即使你一生中的大部分時間都必須工作也不用害怕。”★enable/??ne?bl/

v.使成為可能；使可行；使實現★inaccurate/?n??kj?r?t/adj.不精確的；不準確的；有錯誤的（accurate的反義詞）★naive/na??i?v/adj.幼稚的；無知的★sentiment/?sent?m?nt/

★decade /?deke?d/

n.十年e.g.Womenhavebecomemoreassertiveinthepastdecade.婦女在過去十年已變得更堅定自信。

8換句話說：在意自己的生活品質，而不是工作熱情。9也許在幾十年前，這種觀點是非常幼稚或不對的。但是，隨著互聯網的服務范圍變得越來越大，提供的服務越來越好，我可以保證，你一定能找到一份值得的工作和行業，讓自己的生活變得更美好。畢竟現在有大量的工作崗位和新興行業供你選擇。NewWords1.preach/pri?t?/v.宣傳；宣揚；宣講（生活方式、體制等）2.quote/kw??t/n.引文；引語；語錄3.pursue/p??sju?/v.追求；致力于；執行；貫徹4.journalism/?d???n?l?z?m/n.新聞業；新聞工作5.calling/?k??l??/n.職業；事業；使命感；強烈愿望；責任感6.identify/a??dent?fa?/v.找到；發現；確認；認出；識別7.namely/?ne?mli/adv.即；也就是8.tremendous/tr??mend?s/adj.大量的；巨大的；極大的9.imposition/??mp??z??n/n.不公平（或不合理）的要求10.admiration/??dm??re??n/n.喜歡；贊賞11.subsequently/?s?bs?kw?ntli/adv.隨后；后來；之后；接著12.quit/kw?t/v.離開（工作職位、學校等）；離任NewWords13.approach/??pr??t?/v.著手處理；對付14.glamorous/?gl?m?r?s/adj.特別富有魅力的；獨特的15.soul-sucking/s??l?s?k??/adj.吸食靈魂的16.liberty/?l?b?ti/n.自由17.maximize/?m?ks?ma?z/v.使增加到最大限度；充分利用；最大限度地利用18.sentiment/?sent?m?nt/n.（基于情感的）觀點；看法；情緒19.naive/na??i?v/adj.幼稚的；無知的20.inaccurate/?n??kj?r?t/adj.不精確的；不準確的；有錯誤的（accurate的反義詞）21.guarantee/?g?r?n?ti?/v.保證；擔保；保障22.enable/??ne?bl/v.使成為可能；使可行；使實現23.ultimately/??lt?m?tli/adv.最終；最后；終歸PhrasesandExpressions1.usedtodosth.過去常常做某事2.comparetosth.與……相比3.struggletodosth.奮力做某事；盡力做某事4.trialanderror反復試驗；不斷摸索5.dawnon開始被理解；漸漸明白6.prosandcons事物的利與弊；支持與反對7.plentyof大量的；眾多的；充足的8.focuson集中于；專注于9.acoupleof兩個；幾個；一對ProperNamesNBC(NationalBroadcastingCompany)（美國）全國廣播公司ReadingComprehensionReadTextBanddecidewhetherthefollowingstatementsareT(true)orF(false).1.Theauthordecidedtoengageinsportsjournalismwhenhe/shewasateenager.(
